Hey everybody it's NobodyKnowsMyName. I'm gonna give a shot at writing a Naruto fanfic. This is my second fic and my first Naruto fanfiction. Tell me if you like it. Oh, and they are about seventeen in this fic.
Legal: I, sadly, don't own even a bit of Naruto.
Sakura's POV
I knocked at Hinata's door forcefully. She was coming whether she really wanted to or not. She'd already agreed to double date with her and Naruto, and by some miracle Sasuke had agreed to go with me. I had a sinking feeling that he was only coming because Naruto was making him. Naruto had recently taken a liking to a certain pale-eyed shy girl after I had told him we just weren't going to happen. Hinata's father wouldn't let her go on a date alone. Regardless, this could be my only chance.
I banged on her door and an irratated Hyuuga head answered the door. Hinata's father.
"Hinata will be out in a moment, Haruno-san. You are welcome to come in, if you wish. Anything to keep you from abusing our door any further." He told me in an annoyed tone. I blushed deeply.
"I apologize, Hyuuga-sama. I wasn't aware you were home." That was, without a doubt, one of the most embarassing things that has ever happend to me. He grunted and opened the door wide enough for me to pass through.
"Hinata is in her room."
"Thank you." I quickly made my way past the scary figure that was poor Hinata's father. I burst through Hinata's room door and breathed a sigh of relief that Hinata was getting her shoes on.
"S-Sakura-chan! I-I'm s-sorry I t-took so l-long. I'm a-almost done. It j-just took so long t-to find w-what I w-was going to w-wear on a date with N-Naruto-kun. I-I th-think I d-did an o-okay job." Poor girl. She already stuttered out of akwardness and the nervousness she was suffering made it even worse. She did do a good job on her outfit, on the brighter side.
"You did great. Dark blue is definitely your color." The girl blushed.
"W-what? Y-you're n-not g-going to complain a-about h-how it i-isn't short enough?" Hinata looked disbelieving.
"No, I'm not. This hypnotist is extremely well known and is widely requested, so you need to dress a little on the fancy side." I wish I had dressed a little fancier. I was suddenly feeling very trashy next to Hinata's floor length, dark blue evening gown. I was wearing a jade green cocktail dress that came down to about mid-thigh, strapless like Hinata's and tight like Hinata's, but I still looked kind of un-elegant next to her.
"W-we b-better get going," she managed to get out. I nodded and proceeded to nearly drag her out of the house. I stopped when I saw Hinata's father standing next to the door.
"So, Hyuuga-sama, it is really okay to have her stay over for the week. I'm not being a burden am I?" Normally I didn't care, but this man made me really uneasy.
"It's fine. Just don't do anything to ruin our name while you're gone." He directed the last part to Hinata. As if she really could. She was so sweet it was almost shameful. Hinata nodded meakly.
With a short goodbye between my friend and her father we were off. Next stop: Sasuke. I dragged Hinata up her street to meet Sasuke, who was our ride for the night. We didn't talk much, mostly because Hinata seemed terribly uncomfortable. I almost felt bad for making her go but I needed this date with Sasuke. I went up to Sasuke's door and knocked lighter this time. I really didn't want to repeat what just happend. Itachi answered the door and he gave me a glare. He didn't like me that much ever since I had kicked him in the-uh. . .place where the sun doesn't shine for almost telling Sasuke that I liked him.
"We're here for your brother."
He looked over at Hinata, wanting to know the 'we' that I was talking about. His eyes widened slightly; a huge reaction considering that this was Itachi. Hm, interesting.
"Itachi-san, we need Sa-" I was interrupted by the jingling of keys.
"Let's go," Sasuke said as he passed swiftly by us. He looked so hot in a tuxedo. Hinata and I followed him to his silver lamborghini. I slid into the front with Sasuke and motioned for Hinata to get in the back.
Once in the car it got extremely quiet. It was good that this car had a roof on it, I mean, I didn't want to mess up my hair, but it was so quiet. We rode to Naruto's in silence for a good bit of the way. Sasuke surprised us all by being the one to break the silence.
"Hinata-san-" he began, but then he paused and didn't finish. I felt horror rising when I realized she must have something in her teeth or on her face. My suspiscions were confirmed when Sasuke couldn't keep his eyes off the mirror that was directed at Hinata in the back seat. I sighed and glared at Sasuke, he could have been a bit nicer about this. I turned fully to face Hinata. I studied her closer. Nope, nothing on her face. She saw me staring at her and smiled uneasily. Nothing in her teeth, either.
When I found what was wrong I gasped.
"Hinata!" I watched as her eyes grew impossibly wider.
"W-what?"
"You aren't wearing any make-up!" At this, Hinata seemed relieved. Like it was nothing she wasn't wearing make-up. "Hinata-chan, this is serious! I'm climbing in the back to help you when we get to Naruto's. You are so lucky I brought make-up with me in my purse, just in case. Good grief, Hinata."
I turned and saw Sasuke smirking. Like he hadn't noticed it. He had been the one staring. Hinata spoke up from the back seat.
"Um. . .Sasuke-kun, could w-we listen t-to some m-music. It's s-so quiet."
"Sure." He turned on the fancy silver beauty he called a radio. The song was very bubbly and happy and happend to be my favorite song. Sasuke made a face and reached to change it.
"No, I like this song!"
Sasuke gave me an 'are you serious?' look. Hinata laughed quietly from the back seat. The song was just finishing when we got to Naruto's house. Sasuke honked and I unbuckled to go assist Hinata.
"You can have the radio now, Sasuke." I said absently as I went to go fulfill my mission of perfecting Hinata's look. I really wanted it to work for her and Naruto. It was selfish but I didn't want Naruto bothering me anymore, and I didn't want to see him so sad. I slid in the back and immediately went to work, barely noticing Naruto's loud 'hey.'
Sasuke's POV
Sakura was way off. It was weird, but I wasn't staring at Hinata because there was something wrong, but because she looked so. . .good. Sakura was fussing over Hinata in the back seat and Naruto was talking to me about I don't even know what. I kept 'hn'-ing, hoping that was right. If she wasn't so painfully shy I think I might have asked her out a while ago. She wasn't obsessive. I let my gaze slide to Sakura. I need to make it clear to her that we weren't going anywhere like she did to Naruto. I guess I need to pay a littled more attention to whatever it was Naruto was saying.
". . . .Oh, and I slept with a pineapple, caught your house on fire, and fired the Hokage. And, while you aren't listening, I told this one girl that she had your permission to steal all of your stuff. She plans to use voodoo on them. I also found out the meaning of life. It's juggling." Naruto was going on, in a bored tone. I had the feeling he'd been going on like that for a while now.
"I'm listening now, Naruto. You can stop that."
"Oh good. Are we almost there? I asked you that about fifteen minutes ago."
"Yeah, we're pulling up now."
Sakura sighed from the back.
"Hooray! I just fot finished with Hinata, too!" Sakura was saying.
Naruto grinned a goofy grin back at the shy girl. Oh yeah, that was the other reason I hadn't asked her out: She was in love with Naruto.
Everyone got out of the car at almost the same time and Naruto went back to take Hinata by the arm. I sighed and walked over to Sakura, ready to get it over with. She smiled as she looped her arm through mine.
"Sakura-chan, what if I'm asked to volunteer?" Hinata's small voice brought my attention to her. I nearly choked on my tongue. Sakura did. . .a good job on Hinata's make-up.
"Of course he won't. They only pick older couples from the audience." That was an outright lie but it seemed to put Hinata at ease. We made our way into the huge auditorium and claimed our V.I.P. spots near the front; we had an Uchiha and a Hyuuga. The seats were arranged to where it was Sakura, me, Hinata, Naruto.
Sakura was turning to talk to me just as the lights went dim and a drum roll started. I silently thanked whoever had timed that so perfectly.
A man with a nearly bald head and an old face walked out onto the stage. He was dressed incredibly casual compared to everyone in the audience. Jerk. He got to wear a t-shirt and I was stuck in a suit. He directed a beaming smile towards everyone in the audience and settled his gaze in our general area. Great, someone on the front was going to be picked to be humiliated. Not that I believed in the whole 'hypnotism' thing, it's just degrading to not be able to refuse being called on.
"To start this evening off I'm going to need a volunteer," he smiled kindly before shooting his gaze directly to his victim, "You there, with the large white eyes and blue dress. Young lady, would you do me the honor of being my volunteer?"
I turned to stare at the girl in question. Hinata was an unhealthy shade of red and didn't seem to be breathing. She turned in desperation to Sakura, who looked speechless and dumbfounded.
"Come now, we haven't got all night."
Hinata looked ready to cry but she stood and walked up onto the stage. I felt deep pity for her. That really must suck.
"Now, I'm going to put you under a trance young lady. You only need to listen to my voice and focus on one certain spot. Can you do that?" Hinata nodded and did as he said. "You are a terribly shy girl from Konaha and are from the Hyuuga clan is what I can tell so far. You were forced to come here tonight by friends and were going to be fine unless you were picked. You had hoped to get here and back without any mishap. You want nothing more in life but to not let people down. At least, that is what you let yourself think. You are getting very, very tired," Hinata started to dip her head and her lids were half closed, "When I snap my fingers, you will act like the most outgoing person you know."
He snapped. A bright smile lit up Hinata's features and she looked down in confusion at her dress.
"What the- Who the heck put me in a dress?! Someone's gonna pay for this. I bet it was that punk, Sasuke. How the hell did he even get me in a dress? Geez, I can't let this stuff get by me if I'm gonna be Hokage some day. Whoa. Hey, Mister, where am I?" she put her hand behind her to scratch the back of her head in a gesture exactly like Naruto's. I looked over at Naruto who was near tears with laughter. The fact that little Hinata had said hell had Sakura doubled over. I was trying not to laugh but I couldn't keep from smiling. Everyone in the crowd seemed amused. That wiped away my smile. Hinata was going to be the butt of every joke. I ground my teeth together.
"Alright, alright, everyone," he snapped and Hinata instantly returned to her dreamy state, "When I snap this last time, you will become who you really are." He snapped. "Alright, dear, you can get off the stage now."
" 'Kay." Hinata hopped off the stage in one fluent movement. That caused some stares and some mumbles. Why didn't she just use the steps? She came and took her seat between me and Naruto. She turned to whisper something to him and his eyes widened. He stood and took Hinata's hand.
"Me and Hinata are going to go outside. She isn't feeling well."
I would've believed that if his face hadn't been so. . .so surprised. Why would he be surprised over her being sick? But what could I have said? 'Sorry, I don't believe you, stay here?' I nodded and they left.
Ten minutes passed and I was getting ready to go find them.
"Sakura, we need to go find them."
"Aw, but it's so good and it's almost over-"
"We need to go. Now."
I got up and walked as fast as I could towards the car. Found them. Naruto had Hinata pressed up against my car and they were doing some serious making-out. I found myself wanting to hit Naruto. I cleared my throat loudly. Naruto jumped back and put some distance between him and Hinata. Something was off. Naruto was a shade darker but Hinata didn't even have the hint of blush on her skin. Her eyes were half lidded and she looked very relaxed and self-assured. It was weird coming from Hinata.
"Hey guys." Hinata said. No stutter. She pushed herself off the car and leaned towards Naruto to whisper something loudly.
"We should do that again sometime. It was fun." She pulled back with a teasing smile. "Who wants to go clubbing?" Hinata said with another smile. "I know one we could get into for free and they won't ask for ID. I went there once before because I needed to go to the bathroom and that was the closest place. They just let me walk in and didn't ask for anything because I was Hyuuga."
Everyone stared at her like she'd lost her mind. She frowned, and even that looked hot.
"What?"
Sakura was the first one to recover.
"Well, alright, Hinata-chan! Sounds like fun to me. I knew that as soon as she got out she would be fine."
Really? Getting out doesn't cause people to completely change their attitude.
"Well, if Sakura and Sasuke are good with it, I guess I am, too." Naruto was looking at me and I couldn't tell whether he wanted it or not. I sighed.
"Fine."
"Yay! But Sasuke-kun, I have a question," Hinata got unreasonably close to me before finishing, "Can I drive?"
"No." I said. She got even closer and I saw Naruto shift uncomfortably and heard Sakura cough. It's not like I wasn't trying to avoid this so why were they directing this at me?
"Please?" She gave me a sultry smile. Was this really Hinata? I don't know, but I do know that if I don't give her the keys she's going to keep trying to seduce me. Be seduced or let her drive my car? Looking back at Hinata I decided.
Hinata's POV
"WWWWOOOOHHHOOOOO!!!!!!!!" I screamed as I slammed my foot on the gas. It was late and there was absolutely no one out on the streets. I laughed and pushed the speedometer up to 198 mph. I loved the straights on roads. I barely slowed down when we hit the first curve. Nearly everyone was screaming and that made me giggle and I pressed it up to the cars max: 230 mph.
I only finally slowed down when we hit the street the club was on. We came to a screeching halt on the side of the street opposite the Club. The club was called 'Hyuuga.' Daddy bought that to give us some extra cash.
"We're here," I said quietly. I laughed at the unsettled expressions on all of their faces. "Let's go! Oh yeah, Sasuke, here are your keys." I tossed the keys to him. "Alright! Time to enjoy ourselves."
I heard Sasuke whisper to Sakura and Naruto.
"What happend, Naruto? You were with her when she started acting different. Did you give her drugs or something? Did she tell you anything, Sakura?"
I laughed. They all turned to look at me. I rocked back and forth on my heels; impatient. "Nope. There weren't any drugs and I'm fine. Stop worrying, you're making it less fun and it's annoying." I glared at them all. They gave me shocked stares and I gave an exasperated sigh. "Come on. If you spend the night trying to figure out what's wrong with me we won't accomplish anything."
Hm. I was acting really strange for me. I hadn't once stuttered and everything I was doing was so confident. I was like my alter-ego, only braver. I smiled at that. Even the realization of this didn't make me feel the need to be akward. I took Naruto's hand, something I never would have dreamed of doing before that hypnotist had told me to, 'become who you really are.' I guess this is what I really am. Weird. I always thought that on the inside, I was even nicer. I guess not.
Our small group walked silently up to the huge, wrap-around line that surrounded the building. Sasuke smiled a relieved smile.
"I don't know, guys. I don't really feel like waiting in such a long li-"
"We don't have to wait," I walked up to the bouncer, dragging Naruto with me, and simply looked at him. He opened the door. "Hurry, guys, they're playing some really good dance music." I turned back to make sure Sasuke and Sakura were following. They were. "Let's go get some drinks!" I'd heard about all the funny things that happend when people where drunk. I wasn't going to get drunk. I was going to be the designated driver.
The bartender was a fat older guy with a kind smile and sad eyes who greeted us with a, 'What'll ya have?' Naruto sat down on one of the stools and Sakura sat beside him. I felt more than heard Sasuke's groan. Anyone could tell he didn't really like his fan-girls and Ino and Sakura were always cheering on the front row. I was on the other side of Naruto. I really liked him, he was so brave and kind and everything else I wanted to be.
"Sasuke, sit down already!" Naruto unneccisarilly shouted at the Uchiha. Sasuke grimaced and looked at Sakura, then the seat next to her, then at Sakura. I cleared my thoat. Could he just sit down soon? Sasuke took a look in my direction and came to sit by me, his expression brighter at having avoided the chatty strawberry-haired girl. I couldn't bring myself to feel sorry for her, because I'd always hated her to some extent for being the girl Naruto wanted. She was also very pushy and had taken advantage of my shyness to get what she wanted. Like today when Ino had bailed on her and she quickly arranged a double date for me and Naruto and, especially, her and Sasuke. I could feel myself getting angry so I decided to distract myself.
"Give the three of them enough drinks just to get them drunk. I'll pay hansomely." I whispered but I still got a glare from Sasuke. I smiled evilly/innocently at him. "What? Hey, if you don't want to hang out at the bar you should go dance. Sakura looks more than willing." That made him stop and he grimaced.
Twenty minutes later they were all a good degree of drunk. Naruto was a happy drunk and kept insisting he loved everyone. He almost immediately passed out after that. Sakura was an emotional drunk and was furious at Naruto for passing out. When I told her not to be so mean she started crying. "Why don't you take Naruto over to the couches they have for the dancers. He's wiped out."
It turns out that that was a great idea. She griped all the way to the couch but as soon as she got there she was as asleep as Naruto. I returned to see that Sasuke was glaring in the direction of the couch. Almost the same as before he was drunk. I wonder what kind of drunk he was. I went back to sit at the bar with him.
"I'm gonna go dance." I kicked myself off the bar stool. "Feel free to join me."
He turned to glare at me. "Yeah, right. You and all the other fan-girls can get a dance." He rolled his eyes. I sighed.
"Sasuke, I don't like you. I'm not even remotely interested. You're hot, I'll give you that, but you already knew that. You are so condescending and I can't stand it. You can take my offer, that I made out of kindness, and shove it." I said sweetly. He locked eyes with me, an awareness a drunk shouldn't have was in his eyes, and I could see that, with those words, I had made myself his new conquest.
Yay! I'm going to make this an ItaHinaSasu fic. Please review.
