Interesting Start!
A/N this is my first attempt at a Sasu-hina couple! This was my biggest and favorite reviewer, Cloud Envy's request! I hope you enjoy! I'll make it a few chaps long!
Sasuke watched, annoyed as Hinata watched Naruto train, "One day she'll get over you dobe!" He muttered, as he easily blocked an attack. "Getting tired dobe?" He taunted Naruto, who flew at him in anger, Sasuke easily dodged, pinning Naruto to the ground. "Teme! Get off! I'll beat you!" Sasuke smirked, standing up and walking away, disappearing from Naruto's sight. "Hinata, spying is not going to help you." Sasuke pointed out, as Hinata jumped. "Sasuke-san?" She stuttered, shocked, "Hello Hinata-san, can I help you?" He almost sounded nice, if not for the smirk. "N-nothing S-Sasuke-san" she blushed, trying not to cry.
Sasuke almost felt bad for her, "Hinata, I'll try to help you with Naruto, lets grab a bite to eat and talk." She stared at him, uncomprehending, "You'd d-do that?" She asked, wondering if Sasuke was playing a trick on her. "Just to get you to stop spying, and disrupting my training, yeah." She smiled, and hugged him, shocking him slightly, "Lets go," he nodded, helping her up as she had fallen after hugging him. He walked her to the ever popular Raman shop, "So, how can I assist you in snagging that dobe?" Blushing, she ordered miso ramen, and asked, "What type will he notice? And how c-can I-I get him t-to n-notice me?" Sasuke thought on that, "Let's see, how about just talking to him, lets see if that works, and we can go from there, Think we can get you past your shyness?" She stared at him, "I-I can t-try?" She stuttered. He nodded, "Lets practice." She nodded, "Smile and talk to me whenever you see me, we will practice."
She nodded and they left, both making a point to run into each other, so they could slowly help Hinata. Sasuke ran into her the next day, "Hinata-san, how are you?" He asked, trying to be nice, and help. "I'm ok, could be better." Sasuke raised his eyebrow, most people say well, so something was up, "What's wrong, too nervous to practice?" She shook her head, "Wh-whats the p-point? I'm a-a fa-failure as a-a Hyuuga." She burst into tears, disappearing. Sasuke raised an eyebrow, wondering if he should bother following. "Might as well, she won't be able to do missions if I don't help." Sasuke sighed, and followed her chakra trail, and saw Naruto being dense as usual.
"What's wrong Hinata? Is it Neji again? I'll go show him fate! Believe it Hinata! Don't be sad! Uho gotta train! Can't lose to that Teme Sasuke!" and he left Hinata standing there tears streaming down her face. "Yeah, that dobe's a little obsessed right now." Hinata jumped, wiping the tears out of her eyes, "I'm just not worth the notice." She said, chocking back the tears. "Hinata, you are worth notice, or I wouldn't be helping you now would I? After all, I'm self-absorbed." She shook her head, "You're just trying to get me to stop distracting your training." She didn't realize she wasn't stuttering, much to Sasuke's amusement. "Hinata, just tell me what happened, it might make you feel better." She reminded him of his lack of confidence due to his brother years ago, they both tried to live up to their families expectations, Sasuke no longer had to, he just had to beat his brother.
Hinata sat by a tree, burying her head in her knees. "My Dad wants to disown me, and let Hanabi take over the Hyuuga's when she's of age," She hiccupped, "Because I am an embarrassment to all Hyuuga's and don't belong in the main branch, especially after my loss to Neji." Sasuke thought she looked so lonely and forlorn at that moment, that he actually leaned down and hugged her. Shocking them both, "It will be ok, you are becoming stronger, you will keep your title, and you just have to be strong, and not let them take away your confidence." He nodded, hoping it was helping. He wasn't used to comforting people.
She nodded, "I'm sorry I bothered you with that Sasuke-san." She said, blushing. "Its fine, I can relate, and might be able to help, confidence will do you good in your quest for the dobe." He nodded, remembering his whole point in being there. "So have you realized you haven't been stuttering this whole conversation?" She looked at him shocked, and realized it was true. "Y-yes! I c-can do I-it!" She gasped, looking downcast. "Try not to think about your stuttering ok? I think that's your problem, just pretend whoever you're talking to is a tree." She nodded, trying to picture herself talking to Naruto and pretending he was a tree, it didn't work out.
Sasuke helped her up, and handed her a cloth, to dry her eyes, "Ready to try talking to him?" She nodded hesitantly, and they began walking. They spotted Naruto at the training field. Sasuke stopped at the tree and gave her an encouraging smile, not a smirk, an actual smile. She stared at him, realizing he really wasn't as bad as people portrayed him, and he had a nice smile. She walked out to Naruto, looking at her fingers, and preparing to speak to her long time crush. "N-Naruto-kun?" She asked, realizing she'd stuttered she pictured Naruto as an Orange clad tree. She breathed, "How are you today?" She said, in a more normal volume. Naruto glanced at her, noting she hadn't stuttered the whole sentence. "Hey Hinata, what's up? Want to spar? Otherwise, I'm training, and I really shouldn't be distracted." She looked downcast, "N-never m-mind I d-don't want t-to d-distract y-you." She muttered, turning to leave.
Sasuke walked in, calmly, "Hinata, how nice to see you here, chatting with Naruto? Is he being rude again, how very sorry I am. Naruto, will you ever learn some manners?" he smirked as Naruto turned towards him and took that as a challenge, "Hinata, Sasuke's being a teme again!" he whined, turning to talk to her, just to prove he was polite, Sasuke winked at Hinata, before turning to Naruto, "And here I thought you were rude." He said snidely, "Always whining." He smirked, and walked away, hands in his pocket. "N-Naruto-san, a-are you busy t-today?" she asked, having lost her confidence after the last attempt, "I'm planning on asking Sakura out! I think this time she will give me a try! I never give up! Sorry Hinata, maybe later!" He nodded, darting off.
Hinata looked at the ground miserably, "He doesn't even notice me, I give up. Guess I'm just not worth his time like Sakura." She darted through the forest, to find a pleasant little meadow, crying her eyes out. "Why does he like her?" She sobbed, heart breaking. She finally gave up on ever winning Naruto's heart, but she at least owed Sasuke for helping her, she shook her head, she needed time to think, she was going to avoid people for a little while. She wished Naruto was more like Sasuke and noticed when she was sad. She wondered why Sasuke had worried. He may have seemed nonchalant, but he did seem to care.
Sasuke looked for Hinata the next morning to see if everything went well, and he ran into Naruto and Sakura, "Naruto, If you want me to stay your girlfriend, stop embarrassing me!" Sakura yelled. Naruto sighed, and hugged her, "Sorry Sakura-san I'm just so happy you decided to give me a chance!" Sasuke stared at them shocked, "Naruto, what happened to Hinata?" Naruto shrugged, "She asked if I wanted to hang out, but I was going to talk to Sakura about going on a date, I told her I was sure I could convince Sakura this time, why?" Sasuke glared at him angrily, "You really are a dense jerk, and I thought I was the Teme!" Sasuke walked off, leaving Sakura and Naruto shocked, they'd never seen Sasuke show so much emotion over something that wasn't his brother.
Hinata stared at the sky, tears falling from her eyes, she sighed unhappily, "Maybe I should just go rogue, then I wouldn't have to worry about my family. But Sasuke said that if I stuck with it, I'd succeed, but what if I don't ?" She wondered why she kept thinking of Sasuke, when she was depressed over Naruto. She growled, "Sasuke is much nicer than Naruto! He doesn't even care or notice if I'm sad!" Sasuke took that moment to walk in, "That's the highest compliment I've received." He smirked as she jumped, "I'm sorry it didn't work out for you Hinata, I truly am, but I'm the one who is crazy enough to go rogue for revenge, not you." She stared at him in shock, wondering why he was trying to make her feel better.
Sasuke hugged her, and set her into his lap, "So, since I owe you one, would you like to go on a date with me?" She turned to stare at him, wondering how he went from working to nab Naruto for her, to him asking her out. She shrugged, "Sure, just don't ditch me. P-please?" she said softly. He hugged her, "I won't. She wasn't near as annoying as all his fan girls, who knew maybe it would work out…. He hoped so, he was really starting to grow fond of the shy Hyuuga.
A/N WOOT I DID IT! I hope you like the first chap! It can be a one shot if you want it to be, or I can add more chapters!
