A/N: Hiya! Thank you to everybody who reviewed the first chapter. Yes, I know the combination of cars and chakra is a bit weird, okay really weird, but still, I couldn't help myself. And there is cursing toward the end of this chapter so if you choose to read it then don't complain to me about cursing. Anyway, this will be a SasuHina story with more chapters to come so enjoy!
Chapter Two:
*Sasuke's point of view*
Everybody stared in shock at Hinata being sent flying into the water by Kiba's large whirpool. Without thinking, Sasuke dived into the water, swimming strongly toward the direction Hinata had been sent, using his chakra to boost his speed. Pausing and looking around he saw an unmoving figure sinking slowly toward the bottom of the lake. Hinata! He thought, and began moving quickly towards her. When he got to the girl, Sasuke grabbed her gently and began swimming to the surface. Bursting out of the water Sasuke gasped for air and swam to the others, who were staring at him in utter shock but he payed them no mind and swam to the shore behind them, Hinata on his back. Slowly, he noticed the others follow him to land. Stepping out of the water Sasuke kneeled and gently placed the girl on the ground. He heard the other splashing out of the water and rushing to his side. "I-Is she going to be alright?" Sakura asked nervously from beside Naruto. "…I don't know…" Sasuke muttered, his eyes not leaving the girl unconscious in front of him. Checking her pulse he verified her heart was now beating steadier though it was a bit fast but slowly starting to calm down. Her breathing was quick but becoming steadier by the second. "She's going to be alright…" Sasuke sighed.
*Hinata's point of view*
Slowly Hinata blinked open her eyes and she saw Sasuke kneeling beside her, a hand on her neck, checking her pulse. She saw him notice her eyes open and smiled weakly as he sighed, "She's going to be alright…" Looking around she saw the others standing around them, looking worried. Blushing a bit, she scrambled to a sitting position remembering she had been hit by Kiba's huge whirlpool and realized she must have been knocked unconscious. "Who saved me?" she mumbled, looking around her. At first everybody remained silent but then, "It was Sasuke!" Naruto exclaimed, breaking the silence. "He totally dived in and saved you without us even saying anything!" Hinata glanced at Sasuke surprised and said, "Thanks Sasuke." Sasuke just replied with a, "Hn," and got up slowly saying, "We should get going to Ino's house…" Hinata was slightly confused, Sasuke was acting a bit strange, even for him, she wondered what was up with him but decided quickly it was none of her business since her thoughts were getting even more confusing and she wondered why she had even been concerned in the first place. "Yeah, I agree with Sasuke." Hinata said, slowly getting up and shook the sand off her. "Okay…" Sakura said awkwardly, "Does anybody have any objections?" Everybody remained silent so they all started walking to the vehicles that they drove here in. "See ya at Ino's!" Sakura
called to everybody not taking her car. All five of them (Sakura, Naruto, Kiba, Sasuke and Hinata) went into Sakura's car. As Sakura started driving she asked Hinata, "Are you okay? Like after the wave hit you and everything?" "Yeah, I'm fine." Hinata said, smiling reassuringly at her friend, but still the fact that Sasuke had been the one to save her troubled her. "I'm really sorry about that, Hinata. I didn't know it'd have that much impact." Kiba said guiltily, breaking Hinata from her train of thought. "Sould've been more careful…" Sasuke muttered, looking out the window. "Yeah seriously Kiba." Naruto added, glaring at the dog-nin. Kiba was about to defend himself but Hinata intervened, "Look, lay off Kiba okay Naruto? And you too Sasuke." She said, shocking the boys but Sakura just smirked, knowing her friend's change in attitude recently. "Okay…. Sorry, Kiba…." Naruto mumbled. Sasuke, naturally, didn't say anything and Kiba just looked satisfied. "Good." Hinata said, smiling, as they pulled into Ino's driveway.
"HAHA! WE BEAT YOU THIS TIME, BILLBOARD-BROW!" Ino yelled as they all got out of the car to see the rest of the gang standing outside the silver SUV. "Whatever, Ino-pig." Sakura huffed. "You still owe me twenty dollars." "Hmph, like I'd waste my money on the likes of you." Ino muttered, glaring at Sakura. Sakura balled her fists but before things got ugly, Hinata signaled for her and Temari to break up the fight before it turned into a real one. Just as Ino and Sakura leapt at each other, Hinata and Temari went to stand in between them. Temari managed to get Ino in a headlock but Sakura pushed past Hinata and went for Ino, but Hinata was fast enough, she quickly stepped in front of Sakura just as she prepared to punch Ino. So the punch hit her instead and sent her flying into the brick wall of Ino's house. Hinata coughed and blood trickled from the side of her mouth but she staggered to her feet. "I always knew you had a good punch." She rasped, smiling weakly. "Omigosh! I am so sorry Hinata!" Sakura said covering her mouth with her hands, eyes wide with guilt and horror. "You didn't have to take that hit for me!" Ino puffed indignantly, "I can take care of myself you know!" "You're lucky she saved your sorry little ass!" Temari yelled, letting go of Ino and glaring at her. "Temari's right." Shikamaru said in a serious tone that was slightly angry and not at all bored for once. "She could've let you be hit." Ino just snorted and walked into her house. "Ino didn't really ask for Hinata to save her." Choji mumbled defensively before following his girlfriend into the house. "Hmph. He's just sticking up for her because she's his girlfriend…." Kiba growled. "Shouldn't have taken the damn hit for that bitch in the first place…" Hinata muttered staggering slightly. But suddenly she tripped. Bracing herself to hit the ground and not having the strength to take the fall correctly she braced herself and closed her eyes, waiting for her body to hit the hard pavement. That never came and when Hinata opened her eyes she was in Sasuke's arms, her face about 5 inches from the ground. "You okay?" Sasuke asked. "Y-Yeah, fine. Thanks to you anyway." Hinata managed to stutter, blushing. Why the hell do I blush and stutter when he saves me or even makes physical contact? I thought I lost that annoying stutter and I rarely blush…. Great. Now I'm going insane, just what I need… Sasuke helped her up and she wiped the blood from the side of her mouth. "Thanks again, Sasuke." Hinata said with a great amount of gratitude. "Hn." Was again, all Sasuke said. "We should go inside now." Hinata continued, turning to the rest of the group, who were staring at the two of them like they both grew an extra head. "Uhh…. Why are you staring at us like that?" she asked, looking really confused and awkward. "Because their idiots?" Sasuke muttered and began walking to the door. Hinata chuckled at the comment and Naruto glared his raven-haired team-mate before saying, "Oh nothing, just forget about it." Temari nodded and began dragging the now once again lazy Shikamaru into Ino's house. And everybody followed.
