Formerly known as The possibility of Sasuke and Hinata falling in love.
So I've decided to clean up this story a bit… form the lack of anything better to do… and yeah the characters are OOC
Disclaimer- I do not, will not, and could not ever own the world of Naruto or any of the characters. The only thing I do own is the plot.
Their chance to meet
The deep snows of winter finally began to melt when spring truly arrived. It was still bitterly cold, but the wind had died down, and the sun's rays peeked from behind the clouds. Many people began to habitually stop just to enjoy the lush scenery. Hyuga Hinata was one of these people. Her sandals crunched softly through the sheets of snow she stepped through, a tentative smile on her lips.
As she walked on she saw many people on the streets enjoying the weather like she was. She had left her house for just a walk but now she wanted to do more than just walk so she started to look for her teammates. Aburame Shino and Inuzaka Kiba; normally Hinata was very shy around people but around her teammates she was a little better.
She couldn't see them anywhere, though. And she couldn't find Naruto either...With a disappointed sigh; the young Hyuga heiress lifted a slender hand to the side of her face, barely resisting the urge to hit herself with it. It would be too shameful to.
Given that she couldn't notice him anywhere she went to the ramen stand in hope of finding him there since that was his usual place to be. To her greatest disappointment he was not there; instead she saw Uchiha Sasuke there he was on Naruto's team along with Haruno Sakura. Sasuke looked like he usually did and yet again she found herself wondering what was it about him that made other girls like him so much. She admitted that he was good looking but nothing other than that. As if he had noticed her staring at him he turned to face her.
Their gazes met. For a brief moment Hinata could only see an unfathomless glare flickering from behind the lingering anger and bitterness in his unreadable eyes. Her hands trembled, her throat caught. Maybe the surviving Uchiha was handsome, she decided, but he was just as scary. Those eyes...
"Hey, Hinata-san!" Haruno Sakura, noticing Sasuke's directed gaze, turned to see the Hyuga girl. A smile was on the other kunoichi's face as she waved her over, breaking the silence. With a sigh of relief, the dark-haired girl swallowed dryly and smiled uncertainly at the pink-haired girl.
"H-hello Haruno-san," she murmured, purposely averting eyes with the Uchiha.
"Umm… hi Uchiha-san" she said.
"Hn" was all she got as an answer.
He now didn't seem so interested since he found out it was her who was staring at him. He had always thought of Hinata as someone with absolutely no self confidence or guts. Hinata sat down next to Sakura. "Nice weather right!" she said looking out side at some kids playing
"Ye-yeah it is" Hinata really was starting to wonder where Naruto was if these two were here he should have been too. "Umm…uh is Naruto-kun going to come here?" she asked a little unsteadily.
"The dobe won't be coming," Sasuke interrupted coolly, even before Haruno could open her mouth. Hinata couldn't tell if his glare was personally meant for her or not. Forgetting to turn away, she glanced inquiringly at the Uchiha member and then flushed hastily when he scowled slightly. Still, it was difficult containing the disappointment in her stomach. Naruto wasn't coming... she bit her lip.
"Well he's over trained all night," Sakura said matter-of-factly, rolling her eyes as if to emphasize her disparagement. "He's oversleeping as we speak. And would you like some ramen?" she nodded to the ramen manager, who eyed her patiently.
"Umm…okay" she might as well eat something even if he was not coming.
There was silence for a while but it was interrupted by Sakura "Oh I forgot I had to go home fifteen minuets ago" then her eyes widened "she will be so mad at me" and with that she got up said bye and left. For a while Hinata just ate she and Sasuke were alone right now and she had no idea about what to say. Sasuke on the other hand was not bothered and continued eating after a while Hinata could not stand the silence and tried to think of something to say to the boy on her right.
She cleared her throat "Uh…how are you?" she had no idea what to talk about and felt very nervous. "Fine" he grunted not even looking at her.
If someone ever asked her how different Sasuke and Naruto were, Hinata was certain she could have told them an endless list. Sasuke no longer looked at her, clearly disinterested, and she settled uncomfortably beside him to wait for the cooking ramen. Clearly he was unwilling to stay with her although he did not comment. It was useless to flee now, too since she had already ordered a ramen. She shivered and the black-haired boy almost automatically turned to look at her. She reddened in shame. Her father would have scolded her for being so timid, but his burning stares were almost unbearable. "You're cold." It was not a question, but Hinata nodded franticly, rubbing her hands together. It was only then that she noticed his hands were quite as pale as her own, each finger gracefully long and skillful. An inexplicable feeling of ungainly awkwardness overcame her, and she almost flinched when he touched her shoulder.
She looked up at him "You sure are frail" he said with a smirk on forming on his face. She went red in the face and didn't know what to say. He removed his hand from her shoulder as the old man gave her the ramen she had ordered.
She started eating but was now immensely nervous after what seemed to her an eternity Sasuke spoke "If you are this cold you could have put something on" he said in a mock tone "Well bye" he turned before she could say anything and walked away; partly glad that he was gone she finished her ramen and paid for it. Now she was a little better now after having some hot ramen she by the time had finished was calm again. Since she had nothing else to do she decided to take a walk, as she turned a corner she saw Sasuke standing at the end of the street; remembering her conversation back at the ramen stand she decided to go the other way and was turning to leave.
"Hinata wait" it was Sasuke's voice and she froze in the spot as he slowly walked over to her.
"What do you want, U-Uchiha-san?" she called out, hesitantly entwining her fingers together. "Did I d-do something wrong?" Her voice shook, wavered in the air as he paused some feet away from her; perfectly serious, and perfectly calm. There was no trace of a smile on his face.
"No you did nothing wrong" he said and walked up to her and then said "I wanted to know why you decided to turn and walk away when you saw me over there" this made her look at him abruptly.
She did not know what to say and thought she was going to faint. "I…uh…I remembered that I h-had to go s-somewhere and was going b-back" she stuttered.
"Really?" Sasuke asked an eyebrow rose in a voice that made it obvious that he did not believe her and saw the lie in what she was saying. "Here I was thinking that you were scared of me" he finished in a mock voice.
"W-what made you think that?" her voice quivered as she lifted her eye to look into his. White met black totally different from each other yet totally same, different like life and death same like the sun and the moon. It would have been a mesmerizing sight were it not this situation.
"Well for one thing your eyes widened when you saw me the urgency in the way you walk came and your desires to leave as fast as possible is quit obvious to me," said Sasuke with a smirk on his face.
"My e-eyes widened because I h-had thought that you had l-left and t-then I remembered that I-I had somewhere to g-go and was hurrying b-because of that," she was having a hard time trying to come up with something good under his fierce stare.
"Oh and where exactly is this somewhere that you need to go?" he knew very well that she was lying but was actually having fun making her uncomfortable.
"I-I am sorry U-Uchiha-san but t-that is of no b-business to you," she said after a moment of silence.
"Alright," Hinata had not expected that but it seemed that this was all he was going to say. For a moment he watched her expression of surprise and was going to say some but decided against it, as he walked away Hinata could have sworn that he was going to say something but had stopped.
After a while of walking as far away from the cold Uchiha as she could Hinata sat down near a tree on the edge of the forest and simply looked around admiring the beauty of everything. But something kept on nagging at the back of her mind and she found her thoughts slipping towards the incident with the Uchiha. Back then she was to busy being scared to death to notice the fact that this was the only real conversation she ever had with him and hopefully the last she added after a bit of thought.
As Sasuke was walking around he also found himself thinking about the little encounter with Hinata; unlike her thoughts he didn't find it terrifying but rather amusing. Then he realized that it had been their first conversation and probably the after the look on her face he thought with a smirk forming on his face.
He wasn't going to be doing anything today so he thought about just walking around or finding a calm place to just sit and relax away from Sakura and Naruto. He came to the edge of the forest and sat down leaning against a tree. Unaware of the fact that Hinata was sitting on the other side of the tree until he heard a soft sigh. He turned to the right side of the tree only to find his face inches apart from hers; her eyes were closed and her head was leaning against the tree. Sasuke was going to revel himself but stopped when he noticed how calm and at peace she was. Instead he sat there looking at her and for the first time noticing how similar and different they were. How she had the same pale skin as him and how her hair were just as dark as his. How his eyes were black but hers white and how he had sharingan and she had the byakugan.
He hadn't realized how close to her face he really was until her eyes flickered open and she looked to her side. She blushed crimson red and pulled her face back. " U-Uchiha-san," she said thoroughly shocked.
He did not answer her but merely looked at her. "W-what are y-you doing h-here?" she asked him.
"I didn't know that this place was not open for public and only for you… I am here because I want to be," he said again smirking.
"O-Okay I will t-then…bye," she got up quickly and was about to leave when he got to his feet and grabbed her wrist.
"Why do you keep running from me? Do you really think you can avoid me like that? Tell me why are you so afraid of me and please don't try to lie we both know that you can't," he said coming closer with an angry and annoyed look on his face.
"I-I… it's just… oh I don't know okay! When ever I look at you it sends chills down my spine and I was hoping to able to avoid you because I don't really want to talk to you," she personally had no idea about what she was saying but it all made sense to her somehow. He let go of her wrist impressed at how she had out right said it. But it he was confused at why she felt this way.
"Why?" he asked forcing himself to calm down he knew that he shouldn't get mad at her like this and should calm down and talk to her about it.
"Why? I don't want to talk to you because even looking at you makes me cold so talking cant be something any pleasurable," strangely enough they both noticed that she was not hesitating to answer him, but it seemed like she took his why the wrong way.
"I didn't mean why do you not want to talk to me instead why are you scared of me? I never did anything to harm you verbally or physically so why are you so afraid of me?" he asked frowning trying to remember if he had done anything but remembered nothing.
"I…I don't know," she started thinking about it to and same as him remembered nothing.
"Then lets try and make you less afraid around me shall we?" he asked interrupting her thoughts.
"Wha… but…o-okay," she seemed uncertain but willing to try as well.
"Okay then… hi my name is Uchiha Sasuke… yours?" it was a little weird but funny.
"Um… my n-name is Hyuga H-Hinata," this seemed silly but she was too afraid to laugh.
"Good and stop hesitating… you mind sitting?" he asked thinking that if they were going to start talk they better be comfortable.
They both sat down and he looked at her not knowing how to start a conversation so he said the first thing that came to his mind.
"Tell me a little about your self, I don't really know you very much," he said with a smile not a smirk.
"I don't know much about you either so will you tell me after I am done," he nodded in agreement at this and she started telling him about her when she was young and her days at the academy and things like that. After she was done he started telling her about himself. By the time he was done Hinata was laughing because he had told her of the day they had to take a bell from Hatake Kakashi to be able to pass and Naruto got tied to the tree stump and getting poked in the butt.
She laughed quit a bit at that and he liked and felt nice because he was able to make her laugh. He noticed that she looked nice when she laughing freely without any hesitations.
"You should laugh more, you look better when you are," he complimented her and she stopped laughing and turned slightly pink.
"Thanks, I didn't know that you were so… well in control with your words when… uhh describing such things," she said smiling.
"It's a gift," he said smiling himself. "Now do you still think of me as dangerous of frightening?" he asked jetting a little serious.
"No I don't think that any more, and I am sorry for my behavior earlier I didn't mean to offend you," she said with an apologetic look on her face.
"It's alright," he said and she smiled again.
"I should be leaving I need to find Kurenai-sensei," she looked at him.
"Alright but do you want to spend time with me just talking again?" he asked her.
She thought for a moment and then said "Sure why not!" she noticed an increase in his mood and they both walked till she had to go to the right of the street and him to the left.
"Bye Uchiha-san," with a smile and a wave of her hand.
"Stop calling me Uchiha my name is Sasuke you know," he said.
"All right bye Sasuke-san," she said laughing a little.
"Bye Hinata," he said and with that they both were on their way.
Later that night as they both were going to bed each was thinking of the other and the time they had spent. She definitely is different than I had thought were the thoughts of Sasuke as he lay on his bed. He is definitely not how I had thought he was were the thoughts of Hinata as she closed her eyes and let sleep take over.
