Author's Note: Hello! Since you readers have been so kind and have given me so many encouraging reviews, I decided to write the next chapter a bit early ;). But be warned! One of my main issues with writing is that my updates are fairly unpredictable, so don't expect a fast update on a daily basis XD! This chapter is a bit short, but still, it would be nice if you enjoyed it as well :)

Disclaimer: Do not own Naruto, just this plot ;)


Chapter 2: Rapid Heartbeats

Summary: When I'm with you, I can't think straight.

Hinata stared at Sasuke, her mouth slightly opened as she gazed at him, dressed in a white collared shirt and dark jeans. He leaned against the bookshelf, smirking at her kneeling form. Realizing that her mouth was wide open, she quickly shut it and turned away from his scrutinizing gaze, hoping that she didn't drool at the sight of him.

"H-how did you f-find me?" Honestly, she wanted to find him too. Whenever she was going to her classes, she always looked around. Hoping to see that familiar head of ebony hair. But of course, that was just wishful thinking on her part. Tokyo University was a big campus, and what were the chances that Sasuke attended it?

She blushed when she heard him chuckle and kneel down beside her, brushing aside her lock of dark hair as she turned her attention to him. "Let's just say I have my sources. But," Hinata nearly choked when he brought her lock of hair to his smirking lips. "It was just pure luck that you happened to attend this university as well."

Oh God, he- he's been looking for me? Hinata felt the blood rush to her ears and was sure that her face was painted an embarrassing shade of red. She was speechless and felt dizzy at his confession. Sasuke saw her discomfort and smirked, leaning down as he gently placed his lips on hers.

At his gentle kiss, she began to panic. Her heart just couldn't take any more of this! She shut her eyes and tried to fight back a response, but failed. Slowly, Sasuke began to probe against her soft lips with his tongue, begging for an entrance. With a soft moan, she slowly opened, his addictive taste filling her senses. He tasted spicy and sweet at the same time, like peppermint and cinnamon. Hinata wanted nothing more at the moment than to absorb his taste, to memorize him.

"Yo, Sasuke what's taking you-" Upon hearing the unfamiliar voice, she quickly pushed Sasuke away, attempting to hide her face. Oh no, I'm an awful girl! I just blatantly made out with a boy in the library! What is wrong with me?

Sasuke let out a growl as he tore his gaze away from her. "Sai, couldn't you see I was busy with something?"

Hinata refused to look at the two of them as she heard the other boy, Sai, laugh. "Dude, no PDA at school, you know your ass would get kicked to the curb if a professor caught you instead of me."

Sasuke's voice turned threateningly low. "Get out of here now, I'm not done talking to Hinata."

Sai waved him off as he smirked, starting to walk away. "Okay, I'll let you continue your, erm, talk with your dream girl." He quietly mouthed the word 'curse' at him before quickly running off.

With his presence gone, Hinata shyly looked down at the carpeted floor, her heart racing at Sai's 'dream girl' comment. Suddenly, Sasuke held her blushing form as he laid a kiss on her forehead. "Are you doing anything today?"

Biting her lip, she fought a tremble of excitement and attempted to keep her heart from bursting. "N-no, I just have to work at the library till 4:30."

"Perfect." Slowly, Sasuke put a hand on her head as he gently forced her to look at him. "Meet me outside the library when you're done, I want to take you somewhere."

Hinata lost all her thought process as she stared at the perfect being before her. She could only nod in response. With one last chaste kiss, Sasuke gently helped her up. Her legs trembled as she accidently leaned on his broad chest, her blush deepening at the contact. He chuckled, "You alright?"

"Y-yes, thank you." She gently pushed herself off of his chest, leaning against the bookshelf as she gave him a small smile.

The girl watched as Sasuke's eyes burned, touching her arm as if he couldn't stand to not touch her. "It's going to be difficult for me to focus on anything today." She heard him murmur to himself, her heart spiking at the feel of his hand on her skin.

"Wait for me, Hinata." With his last phrase, he let go of her arm and made his way out of the library.

Hinata watched his back until he was out of the floor. Sighing, she went back to the task of re-shelving the books. She stared at the stack for about five minutes, not sure of where to put them. Feeling frustrated, she took the cart and made her way to the elevators, planning to talk to TenTen about the events that just took place and why she had a damn good reason to be distracted.

On the First Floor:

"EEEEE! OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!" TenTen began fanning herself excessively after Hinata got done with her story.

"TenTen, please, not so loud! We are in a library!" Hinata had to hold back her own giggling fit. Her heart was still racing at the thought of Sasuke, but she felt so happy that she could share it with TenTen.

"Oh, who cares! Hardly anyone is in the library at this time, midterms are done for now and the last place any sane student would want to go is to the library after class." She rolled her eyes as she took out her phone and began to text someone. "Only the boring students like us would voluntarily wanna work here to help out."

"W-what are you doing?" Hinata eyed TenTen's phone warily.

"Texting Ino about your sudden meeting with your crush, of course!"

"Wait, no, you can't do that!" Hinata began to laugh as she tried in vain to take TenTen's phone away from her. She knew that Ino was a hundred times worse than TenTen when it came to hearing stories about her so called 'love life.' Both of their enthusiasm combined was enough to cause Hinata embarrassment that would last her a lifetime.

Keeping her phone at a safe distance, TenTen finished her text and hurriedly pressed the 'send' button, giving Hinata a smug look. "Noooo," Hinata laughed and sat back in her seat, embarrassed.

From behind them, a stern cough was heard as they both gulped. "Ladies, a word please?"

They both turned as their gaze met with Shizune's gaze. The older woman looked at the cart, still filled with returned books and sighed. "Listen, since you girls are well behaved most of the time, I'll let you two have the rest of the day off. Someone else can take charge of returning these books."

"Oh, thank you so much Shizune!" They both got off of their chairs and picked up their bags. With a slight bow to Shizune, they both exited the library.

"But you better be on your best behavior here tomorrow! And be prepared to organize some papers!" Shizune yelled after them as they waved. "We will!"

Once they were out of the library, the two girls were met with a warm breeze, tickling their faces as they took in the fresh scent. "Wow, that was really nice of Shizune." Hinata smiled over at her best friend as she nodded. "Yeah, but knowing her, she was probably getting a headache from our constant giggling."

"True." They both commenced with their laughter and stopped when TenTen's phone began to lightly chime, "Oh, Ino texted back!"

TenTen read over her message then quickly typed out a reply. "Today is a lucky day for us thanks to Shizune, we actually have time to make you drop dead gorgeous before you meet with Sasuke."

At her words, Hinata's heart sank. "No, you're not saying-"

"Oh, yes, we are." TenTen smirked as she tightly grabbed on to Hinata's arm. "We are going to spend these three hours giving you a total makeover. Ino told us to meet her in her apartment STAT."

The young Hyuuga groaned at the thought, nearly going limp as the raven haired girl dragged her across campus, her bright brown eyes shining with excitement. Deciding it was best to just go along with TenTen and Ino's plans (knowing it would be fruitless to go against them) she decided to think about Sasuke to keep her dread at bay.

To be continued…
