The begining of a friendship

Hinata Huuga had finally gained up the courage to admit to Naruto that she loved him. And of course Naruto just had to not feel the same way and he turned her down. Hinata had then ran into the forest crying her eyes out. And if her day couldn't get any worse it just had to start raining. And she was lost.

She decided to keep on runing until she found some sort of shelter. Then she heard something. It sounded like someone training. Hinata decided to check it out. As she approched the area Hinata she couldn't belive her bad luck. There standing a few feet away was Sakura. The woman that Naruto was in love with. Hinata was starting to cry agian but she hid behind the bushes as she saw someone else there too approaching Sakura. None other than Sasuke Uchiha.

" Hey Sasuke!" Sakura happily yelled.

"What are you doing out in the rain Sakura?" Sasuke asked annoyed.

"Well I knew you were in the area training and I wanted to tell you it was going to rain soon. I came a bit late though. We should both go back now." Sakura replied

Inner Sakura "Yea alone time with Sasuke. He'll hold me in the rain and keep me warm. Cha!"

Sasuke said "I don't plan on going back for anthor few hours. Go on without me or your going to catch a cold."

"But Sasuke you'll catch a cold!"

"I don't really care just go."

"But-"

"Just go."

"Ok Sasuke-kun." Sakura said as she started runing back to the village. After Sakura was out of sight Sasuke started training.

Hinata's Pov

'Just great I'm soaking wet hiding behind the bushes. And I can't belive Sakura, she doesn't even realise how lucky she is to have Naruto's love yet she wants Sasuke's. All he is, is good looks and smarts. What about the personalitly. Even if he does have a good one Sakura oviously only likes him for his looks.'

Just then Sasuke stopped training.

'He's looking right at my direction! He knows I'm here!'

Sasuke then smirked and said "You know your going to catch a cold...Hinata."

Hinata got out of her hiding place and walk toward Sasuke so they were only 3 feet away. There were tears visable on Hinata's face but she didn't wipe them away hoping Sasuke would think it was just the rain. Sasuke then dropped the smirk.

Hinata studerd "I-I just got lost and I w-was-"

"Too nervous to ask me?" Sasuke asked. Hinata nodded her head.

"Have you been crying?" Sasuke asked a little concerned.

"N-no"

"Does it have something to do with Naruto?"

"N-no of course n-n-not N-narut-" Just then Hinata started bursting into tears. Sasuke didn't really know what to do so he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and put his chin on her head.

"It's ok, just...just tell me what happened." Sasuke said calmly.

Hinata started to relax a little then she said "I-I finally admited that I l-love him and h-he...h-he turned me down" Hinata started crying agian. Sasuke just held her tighter hoping she would calm down. After a few mintues Hinata calmed down and got out of Sasuke's embrace and sat down on the wet grass and put her knees to her chin. Sasuke sat right next to her and did the same.

Sasuke spoke up and said "Honestly I can't tell you that I know how you feel. I can acually relate more to Naruto then to you at the moment. You love Naruto he doesn't love you back. Sakura loves me and I don't love her back. But there is a difference. Your not annoying like she is, you don't really let your feelings for Naruto interupt your training or missions it acually motivates you. Sakura spends more time thinking about me than training. And the thing that makes you much better than Sakura is the fact that you can like someone for there inside then by their outside. And Naruto is stupid for liking Sakura over you."

Hinata asked "How do you k-know all this s-stuff?"

"Well when you don't talk as much as I do you become very observant. You understand that right?"

"Yea...Y-you know h-honestly I-I knew that you could be nice. J-just because a person isn't good at socializing doesn't mean their mean. I know that you can be mean to N-Naruto and S-Sakura but thats just because they do speicffically bother you the most. I wouldn't really know how that feels but it doesn't seam fun. I bet your a fun person its just that you don't show it because your nervous that you will be rejected. Also since you haven't had a great life so far its hard to start one now. I know t-thats how I feel...Mabye its not how y-you feel and I'm just talking about m-myself. G-gomen."

"No your actually right. Wow. No ones really understood that much about me before."

"You understand a lot about me too. Thank you for telling me." Hinata looked into Sasuke's eyes and smiled. Sasuke returned the smile. (yes a real smile!)

"Thank you for telling me too." Sasuke replied. Then the rain slowly started to stop. It was still dark out though because now it was already 9:00p.m. The moon was shing brightly though.

Hinata said "You know I could just fall asleep right here."

"Then why don't we. I was planing on doing that today if the rain stopped anyway." Sasuke said.

"Really? wow. Well I would love to." Hinata said happily. Then Hinata lyed down on the grass. Sasuke did the same. He then put one arm behind his head and the other around Hinata's shoulder's and pulled her to his chest. Hinata blushed a deep red.

"G-good N-night S-Sasuke-san" Hinata said nervously.

"You can call me Sasuke-kun or Sasuke."

"Ok S-Sasuke-k-kun"

"Also Hinata-chan I noticed earlyer you started to stop studdering. You don't have to be nervous with me. Although you don't have to completely stop studdering. It's cute." Sasuke said and then smirked as Hinata turned 10 shades of red.

Hinata said "I'm not nervous with you anymore just a little e-embaressed."

Sasuke said with the smirk still on "It's ok. Good night."

"Night"

As they slept Sasuke uncousiously lowered his arm to around Hinata's waist while she snuggled up closer to him.
