Disclaimer: I do not own the Anime/Manga Naruto.
This story is... sort of a request from Ariana and another friend of her's so... yeah.
Ok, so this story was originally supposed to be a One-Shot, but I decided to turn it into a small story. I hope you all like it.
P.S: Please tell me what you think of it. So please Read and Review. I'd very much appreciate it.
From, Somnia.
" Would you stop that? You're fucking acting like you're dying. Its pathetic. " Sasuke hissed under his breath. " People are starting to stare. " Sasuke tried his best to act like he didn't know who the idiot next to him was.
" But I'm hungry! " Naruto said crawling on the ground of Konoha's streets. " I need fooooooood! "
" We're at the market, Naruto. There is food every where, dumbass. " He stated as he eyed a few fruit and vegetable stands.
" This isn't food! Ramen is the only food out there! "
Sasuke glared hard at his 'best friend'. " Then get up and walk, idiot. It'll be faster then crawling. " He hissed again before 'lightly' kicking his friend in the side of his stomach.
Naruto rubbed his now bruised side. He looked at Sasuke with pleading eyes. " But it's so far away! Its on the other side of town, and I'm hungry now! "
Sasuke cringed at Narutos' high pitched whiny voice. " And just what the hell am I suppose to do about that, huh? Carry you? "
Naruto gasped, his eyes lite up brightly in happiness. " Yea-- "
Sasuke glared harder at Naruto. " That was a joke. " Sasuke spat out through his gritted teeth. ((A/N: Is that even possible? xD )) " What the hell makes you think I would ever think of doing something like that? "
Naruto sat indian style on the ground chuckling weakly while rubbing the back of his head. " I was hoping. "
" Tch, you're more of an idiot then I thought you were. "
" So, " Naruto got up and dusted himself off. " where were we going again? "
He scoffed. " You're kidding right? " Sasuke raised his left brow in question.
" Training grounds? " He tilted his head in question.
A pair of Uchiha hands started to clench and unclench. Oh how they longed to wrap around the blonds neck in a tight hold. " (Sigh) Naruto, we just left the training grounds because you were hungry and wanted to get something to eat because you were 'dying'. "
Bright blue eyes widened at those words. Naruto dropped back to the ground in a sitting position holding his stomach. " Gahh! I'm so hungry, I'm about to die! "
Sasukes' left eye twitched in irritation. The Uchiha hands started to lean towards the neck they so badly wanted to squeeze. But before the hands could leave Sasukes' side, he stuffed them into his pants pockets. " You forgot all about your hunger until I reminded you, so how could you be 'dying'? "
Naruto pointed an accusing finger at Sasuke. " Because you had to remind me! I finally got my mind off of it, then you had to go and reminded me that I was hungry, so I got hungry again! " Naruto clenched his stomach after it made a growling noise.
' Take a deep breath. Just calm down. ' Taking his advice by inhaling deeply, Sasuke released it in a sigh before closing his eyes. " And here I thought you couldn't get even more of an idiot. You keep surprising me, dobe. " Sasuke sighed again before kicking Naruto's leg. " Now get up before some one-- "
Before the rest of Sasukes' sentence could be voiced, it was to late. Those 6 simple words already jinxed some one.
" Are you sure we didn't get enough, Hinata? " TenTen asked with slight sarcasm emitting from her voice.
A light shade of pink tinted Hinata's cheeks. " I-its not that bad, TenTen-chan. " Hinata glanced down at all the bags they were carrying.
" Oh, no, no! Of course not! " TenTen tried to lift her arms up to wave them around, but the weight of the contents in the bags only made her arms raise a little higher then they originally were. " You know, I think we might as well just bought the whole dang store. " She grinned at her friend.
" TenTen-chan! Stop being so mean. You know how badly I don't want to mess up the dinner. " The pink tint to her cheeks grew a little darker shade.
TenTen nudged Hinatas' left shoulder with her own right shoulder. " I'm just messing with you, Hinata. " TenTen sighed as she tried to move some of the bags straps on her left arm to put them in a more comfortable position. " (Sigh) But honestly, Hinata, I think we might of got to much. I mean, you almost just about bought out the whole meat store. Did you really need to buy so many steaks and fish? "
Taking another glance down at the bags that hung from her and TenTens' arms, Hinata just barelynoticed that they had more then 6 bags hanging from each one of their arms. A sweat-drop slid from Hinata's temple down to her chin. " P-perhaps you're right. "
" And not to mention, " TenTen raised her right index finger. " you bought more stuff yesterday, the day before that, and the day before that as well. " The brunette sighed. " You know, you were only supposed to bring a dish or two to the party. Not a whole meal that can feed a whole freaking army. "
Hinata giggled. " Yes, but, you know how much Naruto-kun, Kiba-kun, Chouji-kun and Chouji-kun's family eats. And you also know how much they like my cooking. Plus they each like different types of food, so I don't want to bring just one or two dishes. "
TenTen sighed for the umpteenth time that day. " You really are to kind for your own good, you know that? "
Hinata turned her head to look at her friend. " You keep saying that, TenTen-chan. " She let out another giggle.
" Yeah, yeah. Lets just get back to your place so we won't have to carry these bags for much longer. "
" But remember, " Hinata tried to mimic TenTen by raising her index finger. " you promised to help me make the food. "
TenTen groaned loudly. " Don't remind me. If it weren't for Neji glaring at me when I was about to say no, I would of said it. But noooo, he had to be there, behind you when you asked. "
" That's why I asked when Neji-nii-san was around. I knew he would 'make' you help me with his glare. " Hinata grinned. " Of course, he only glared at you to make you help me was because I asked him before I asked you. And of course, Neji-nii-san didn't want to help, so he pushed it onto you. "
TenTen glared at Hinata before sighing. " You know, you really are evil. "
Her grin widened. " You keep saying that, TenTen-chan. "
Sighing again, TenTen started talking. " Lets just hurry up and get to your apartment already. My arms are starting to tingle. " TenTen shift the bags on her arms again. " I don't want one of us-- "
Before the rest of TenTen's sentence could be voiced, it was to late. Those six simple words jinxed Hinata.
A/N: How do you like it so far, Tri? I hope this is alright to what you requested.
Hinata took a sharp intake of breath as her foot caught ahold of some ones leg, making her fall forward. A few bags flew out of her grip to the ground, food items flew out of the bags. But before Hinata fell down to the ground, her forehead collided against some ones chest. The shock from the collide make Hinata stumble backwards, falling to the ground on her butt with a 'thud'.
" Ah! Hinata, are you ok? " TenTen took a few steps backwards to reach her friend.
" Hinata-chan! Oh god, you ok? I feel so bad! " Naruto tried to stand to help Hinata up.
" Auuuuu... that really hurt. " She whined while rubbing her lower back.
" Idiot! What kind of person just sits on the ground in the middle of a busy market street, huh?! " He glared at Naruto and once again Sasuke 'lightly' kicked Naruto. " And you! " Sasuke turned his glare on the female that was still on the ground.
Hinata stopped rubbing her sore back at hearing his last two words. She looked up at his onyx glaring eyes to see if he was looking/talking at/to her. ' Dang it... he is...'
Sasuke pointed his right index finger at Hinata. " What kind of person walks in the middle of a busy market street with out looking where they're going, huh? "
Hinata stare at him, gaping. Not entirely sure how he wanted her to reply.
" Huh? "
She continued staring at him blankly.
Sasukes' eye's twitched. " Huh?! "
Hinata finally blinked. " Um... sorry? " She raised a thin brow in question.
Sasukes' eye twitched more at her response.
" Oi! " Naruto and TenTen shouted and pointing their index finger at Sasuke.
" She's not at fault here, Sasuke! " Naruto yelled.
" Yeah! I seen what happened, and the least you could of done was steady her before she fell down to the ground when her head colided with your chest. But nooooo! You decided to be a jerk and just stand there. " TenTen yelled out as she tried to cross her arms over her chest with a 'huff', but then remember bags were draped on her arms.
" Anou. " Hinata's quiet voice wasn't heard in Naruto and TenTen's ears.
Ignoring the words from Naruto, and... the brunette haired girl he had no idea who she was, Sasuke continued to talk/look to/at Hinata. " 'Sorry'? That's all you have to say for acting like an idiot and 'head butting' me? " He scoffed, though his glare on Hinata softened a little, but just a barely. Barely that no one even noticed.
Naruto and TenTen had their mouth gaped open in mock hurt and anger from being ignored.
Hinata blinked again. " Um... yes? "
Sasuke scoffed again. " Would you stop answering my questions with another question? "
" Um... Sorry? " Hinata replied again, still not sure what she was supposed to say.
" You should really try to get more words into your vocabulary. That way you might sound a little more less of an idiot. " Sasuke grunted out.
" Hey! That was uncalled for! " TenTen now dropped the bags on the ground that hung from her arms. Yay, now her arms are free to beat the crap out of Sasuke!
" Sasuke, that wasn't very nice. " Naruto glared at him. " You're acting like she 'head butted' you on purpose, but she didn't, stupid. She tripped. " This time Naruto frowned. " You know, you're never this angry and hurtful when ever Sakura-chan or Ino tackle you, and they did it on purpose! So why the heck are you being such a teme towards Hinata-chan? "
" Anou? "
Sasuke didn't turn from Hinata but he was looking at Naruto in the corner of his eye. He blinked once.
" Hey, yeah. " TenTen's brows knitted together. " Naruto actually made sense for once. It's not like you fell to the ground, she just hit her head on your chest. I doubt you even felt that. "
" Hey! " Waterfall tears fell from Naruto's eyes. " There was no need to say that I actually made sense for once! I make sense all the time! "
TenTen crossed her arms. " My mom told me about something like this once. " She began, ignoring Naruto and his tears.
Sasuke's jaw clenched as his body tensed. ' Shit... Don't say what I think you're going to say... '
" She said that when a guy tends to pick on a certain girl more then he does with other girls, that mean's he lik-- "
" Anou! " Hinata finally stood up straight once every one's attention was directioned towards her. " Thank you very much for sticking up for me, but I'm sorry, TenTen-chan, Naruto-kun. "
Naruto and TenTen gave Hinata a confusing looked.
Her hands wringed together behind her back. " Well, you see, anou, me and Sasuke-san sort of have this... well its kind of an inside joke. " Hinata said meekly.
" An... inside joke? " TenTen raised her brow in question. " Please tell me what that means. " She crossed her arms over her chest in confusion.
Hinata weakly chuckled while running her hand through her violet hair in a nervous fashion. " Anou, you see, I bumped into him a few times, and a few days ago, I, um, accidentally bumped in to him again. "
Sasuke scoffed. " Tch, I wouldn't consider that an 'inside joke' and, " Sasuke crossed his arms over his chest. " you didn't simply 'bump' into me. You ran at me at full force. "
Hinata frowned slightly though it looked like a pout. " You're making it seem as if I ran into you on purpose. I said 'Move' before I bumped into you, so you had a warning. "
" Yeah, you said 'Move' 2 seconds before you crashed into me. " Sasukes' brows knitted in frustration. " And stop saying you 'bumped' into me. We both fell to the ground because you rammed into me. "
Naruto and TenTen looked at each other with their eyes wide and mouths gaped before turning their attention back to Hinata and Sasuke.
" I was moving to fast so I couldn't move. " Hinata pointed an accusing finger at Sasuke. " And aren't you supposed to be Uchiha Sasuke? The one who can do just about anything? The number one rookie of our year? 2 seconds is plently of time to get out of the way. Besides, I said sorry. "
" Hn. Yes, that is true. I can do anything, but dodging you in 2 seconds while you're going 300 miles per second is impossible. " Now it was Sasuke's turn to raise a brow in question. " And if I'm not mistaken you said, " clearing his throat, Sasuke made a falsetto voice. " 'Um... sorry?' " He cleared his throat again, his voice back to its normal stoic tone. " And once again, if I'm not mistaken, that's a question. Meaning you weren't really sorry, you just felt that you needed to say it. " Sasuke stated matter-of-factly.
Once again, Naruto and TenTen looked at each other.
" Hey... is it just me... or does Hinata-chan and Sasuke-teme seem like they are... " Naruto whispered.
" Normal? "
" Yeah... " Naruto rubbed the back of his head. " Well, as normal as Hinata-chan and Sasuke-teme can be. "
" True. But I wonder if that's a good thing or not... " TenTen gulped as she continued to watch the 2 bicker. ' Hinata is actually talking back to Sasuke? Wow... Neji must of put a foot in her ass to not be afraid of people and actually stick up for her self. '
Naruto gulped as well. " True. "
" (sigh) We go through this every time this happens. It's really annoying you know. "
" I have a solution so we both won't be annoyed. Want to know what that solution is? " Sasuke leaned in towards Hinata, seeming as if he were about to whisper something. " STOP TRIPPING, 'BUMPING', AND RAMMING IN TO ME! " He leaned back, shoving his hands in his pockets. " It's as simple as that. " He once again stated matter-of-factly.
" You didn't have to yell it! "
" Well you didn't have to be an idiot, idiot. "
" You don't have to be mean. "
" Well you don't have to be an idiot, idiot. "
" Hey... " Naruto called out to TenTen again. " Is he... trying to... joke? "
TenTen nodded a few times slowly. " I... think he is. "
" So what? " Sasuke continued. " Do the white eyes actually mean you're blind, since you know, you're always tripping around me. " Sasuke flicked Hinata's forehead with his right index finger, earning an 'ow' from her. " Or is the reason why you're always tripping or 'bumping' into me, as you put it, because you actually have a crush on me and that's the only way to tell me? " His voice was stoic, but his face held amusement with a smirk. Sasuke might of looked cool on the outside, but on the inside... that was a different story.
' The hell did I say that for?! That was really random, you dumbass. She's going to know something is up. '
A light shade of pink made its way onto Hinata's cheeks as she slapped away Sasuke's hand before he flicked her forehead again. " For your information, my eyes aren't white, they are a very light lavender color. " Hinata then flicked Sasuke's forehead with her own index finger, earning a 'Tch' from him. " And no, I don't have a crush on you. I was just walking around with out looking where I was going, as you put it. "
" What ever. " Sasuke slapped away Hinata's hand before crossing his arms. " You still look blind to me. "
" Well I'd rather look 'blind' then it be an emo, depressing, solid black color. "
Naruto gasped. " Ohhhhh, no she didn't! " He kept looking between Sasuke and Hinata.
TenTen gasped. " Ohhhhh, yes she did! " She kept looking between Hinata and Sasuke.
Sasukes' eye twitched. She was actually making fun of him. Him. The great Uchiha Sasuke. No one mocks him and gets away with it. " Yeah? Well I'd rather my eye color be an 'emo, depressing, solid black color', then have ugly eye veins sticking out around my eyes every time I summon my blood line, Hinata. " Sasuke said through gritted teeth, yet, Hinata knew he was only 'joking' around 'his' way.
TenTen gasped. Ohhhhh, no he didn't! "
Naruto gasped. " Ohhhh, yes he did! "
Hinata gaped in mock hurt. " Well at least it doesn't look like I have red eyes and need a lot of eye drops when I summon my blood line, Sasuke. " Hinata's reply came fast. So fast that a few people -coughSasukecough- thought she might of already had that come-back in mind way before she knew the conversation was going towards 'Eye Insults'.
" Ohhhh! She burned you, Sasuke-teme! " Naruto busted out laughing while pointing at Sasuke.
" Holy crap! That was awesome, Hinata! " TenTen laughed out while patting Hinata's shoulder with pride. ' Man, Neji really must of worked hard on her. She would of never done something like that to any one. Let alone at Sasuke. She didn't even stutter once! '
Hinata stood tall with her head held high, and fists clenched by her side. A stern look was on her face, almost daring Sasuke to say anything else, she was more then ready to counter it. But it didn't help that she had a dark blush covering her cheeks from embarrassment. ' I actually insulted Sasuke! What the heck is wrong with me? He's going to be real mad-- '
Suddenly, Sasuke raised his right hand towards Hinata's head. The sudden movement from the Uchiha made Hinata flinch and close her eyes, waiting for him to hit her or do something for insulting him. But all she felt was a quick small shot of pain in the center of her forehead. Hinata opened her eyes to see Sasuke retracting his hand back.
" I knew you had some back-bone to you, Hyuuga. Don't be scared to use it. " Sasuke smirked at the shock/surprise written on Hinata's face.
Woot, done. Next chapter will be out... some time... soon... or something. I still have to work on 'Open Up', so I might be spending to much time on trying to get the next chapter out so soon. Sorry! But I'll try working on it from time to time.
Anyways, I hope it was alright. As I said before, this is a Requested Story for a friend of a friend. And I also hope it was ok for you Tri.
