…Ripped…Chapter 2
Hinata found herself at her usual ice cream store. She got her favorite chocolate fudge ice cream and sat down. Naruto came in for his shift. He looked and smiled at Hinata,
"You're here, did something happen?" He asked and she denied the question. "You only get chocolate fudge when you're frustrated. Tell me what's up?" Naruto sat across the table pulling the ice cream away from her. "It's not good to bottle everything up." Hinata's face went red.
"How do I look?" Hinata asked. Naruto didn't understand what she meant. "Am I pretty?" Naruto blushed.
"Of course Hinata, you're the prettiest girl in school." Naruto blushed hard barely looking at her. "That's why the girls envy you. Even Sasuke a victim." Naruto chuckled. Hinata remembered the kiss earlier that day. Someone came into the store. "Speak of the devil!"
Naruto jumped up in joy and pulled Sasuke to sit across Hinata. The owner of the store tapped Narutos back. Naruto looked at the clock, he was late.
"Sorry need to get to work!" Naruto hurried but his was disappointed when he got dishes. Sasuke couldn't take his eyes of Hinata. Hinata lots all her appetite for ice cream, all her lips wanted was Sasuke.
"Do you not like me?" Sasuke asked. Hinata got scared, she didn't want him to think she hated him. She nodded. "Then why are you afraid of me?"
"I'm not afraid of you only…" She almost blurred out her feelings at that moment. "Never mind, I just don't hate you." Sasuke took her hand, she removed them from his grasp. Sasuke stood and walked his way to the other side to sit next to Hinata.
Hinata held her breath as he sat next to her. His hand moved her face to face him. She gasped at his penetrating eyes. He drew closer to her and she couldn't breath. But he didn't go for her lips instead his lips caressed her neck. His arms wrapped around her neck as he gave her a hickey.
He removed his lips and whispered in her ears. He got up giving her a good look and left. Hinatas hand went to where his lips were just a second ago. Her whole body went weak and she couldn't find the strength to walk straight.
Naruto couldn't believe his eyes. Did that just happened? Sasuke always liked Hinata and Naruto knew that but…when did he start trying to hook up with her? Didn't he know that Naruto was chasing after her all this time? Naruto didn't like the competition especially since Sasuke was better looking then him.
There had to be a way to win Hinata's heart over. He smiled, it might take time but something did come up. Naruto knew Sasuke didn't stand a chance.
Hinata arrived home and ran to her room. She looked long and hard on the hickey on her neck. Just the thought of made her tremble. If this was love it was intoxicating. Very inch of her wanted Sasuke, but she knew better then to mess with a play boy.
Next Day
Hinata wrapped a scarf around her neck hiding the mark. She looked in her book bag to make sure she had everything. Neji came in rushing her that it was getting late she just took everything and followed him to his car.
"Hinata you've been quiet recently." Neji mentioned starting the car. "What's wrong?"
"Oh it's nothing!" Hinata said. He smiled shrugging it away.
"I forgot to mention that I won't be able to drop you off anymore." Neji said and Hinata turned. "Gaara said he would be happy to bring you along. Don't give me that look Hinata you know that I have to go to college tomorrow and it's in the other side of town."
"I'm going to miss you." Hinata mumbled. Neji chuckled and pat her back. The ride was quiet, Neji left her in front of the school. She looked up to see only Kiba waiting for her.
"You're late." Kiba crossed his arms. Hinata looked at her watch screaming. She ran inside but then her stomach growled. She crutched over holding her stomach.
"Man Neji didn't even let me eat!' Hinata went to the old vending machine. She examined all the choices and choose the chocolate chip cookies. She got what she happened opening the bag eagerly wanting to eat it. She sat in the tattered bench in the hall fitting one cookie at a time in her mouth. Someone stood in front of her.
Her gaze went up to who was standing there. She should have know who it was. Sasuke looked down feeling offended by the scarf she had around her neck. She was covering the only thing he did to mark her of his love. His hand stretched and he pulled the scarf from her neck. She gasped.
"Are you ashamed?" Sasuke said lightly touching the mark with the tip of his fingers. "Don't be, I'll protect you." he promised and walked away with the scarf still in his hands. Hinata threw the rest of her food and went to a mirror to see. It was clear as day. What was she going to do now?
"Stupid Sasuke so demanding! But is he really playing with me, or is he serious?" Hinata touched her neck. Why would he do that to her to begin with? Was what Naruto said true? Hinata couldn't understand anything anymore. Life was just too complicated.
The bell rang for second period and she ran down the hall to the class. She pulled her hair and settled it covering where the hickey was at. She had to at least find an excuse of what happened. She decided to say her little sister had punched her in the neck since she was so short and couldn't reach her face.
When she got to class Gaara eyed her. Hinata admitted defeat she knew that he was going to talk his mouth off. But when he came closer and saw the mark he stopped. All spark in his eyes diminished and he seemed sad for some reason.
Hinata watched him as he sat back in his seat. Sasuke entered and Gaara didn't take his eyes off him. Sasuke enjoyed this, because he was getting closer to her while others stood in a standstill. Hinata eyes open wide when she noticed Sasuke took a seat next to her. Was he trying to kill her?
Sasuke put his arm around Hinata's shoulder and leaned back. Hinata could feel the gazes of other jealous girls. She turned to Sasuke giving him questioning looks.
"What?" He asked giving Hinata a breath taking smile.
"Please stop what you're doing. First you're playing with my heart and now you're playing with my life. Someone here is going to chop my head off." Hinata whispered to him. He took her chin pulling her face closer.
"First of all Hinata I'm not playing with you're heart, because I already know how you feel and how it corresponds with my feelings. Secondly, I'm also risking my head, there's at least ten guys here who are angry." Sasuke whispered back. Hinata couldn't understand this guy. He had lost her completely.
"Sorry don't know what you're talking about." Hinata opened her text book. "Playboys don't take anyone serious." Hinata started to take notes. Sasuke pulled her paper to the side and wrote something on it. He slid it towards her and she read the contents.
"Don't you understand, what I feel for you?" He wrote to her. She wrote a big NO. He then replied, "Well then I'll tell you this, there's not one girl in this world I love more then you." She gasped at the reply and blushed hard. Sasuke enjoyed to see such a reaction wishing to kiss her then.
"I don't believe you." she whispered to him, stubborn as he thought. He wrote one last thing that got her shocked. She read to herself, "I'll prove it to you then." Hinata folded the paper and put it in her book. Sasuke chuckled at her stubborn reaction. This was going to be fun.
