Chapter 2 - Confession
Hinata had her bag packed early the next morning and tried to make herself busy. She practiced with her kunai till her arms hurt. Picking up her last kunai, a sharp pain went through her arm.
'ugh I've been practicing too hard, now I cant even lift a kunai, what will sasuke think of me?' Hinata thought, panicking, trying to bring her hand up.
Suddenly a hand slid down her arm and helped her throw the kunai, hitting the middle of the target. Thinking it was Neji, she let the hand take hers.
"you won't be able to do the mission if you can't thow a kunai" a familiar voice said behind her.
Hinata looked up to find it was sasuke who was holding her hand, she nearly fainted then and there.
"Hinata... There's something I've been wanting to tell you." sasuke whispered in her ear.
Suddenly Itachi appeared beside the target.
"you two, its time to set out."
Hinata nodded nervously, her face bright red. "y-your right uchiha-san" she quickly ran inside to get her bag.
Sasuke scowled at his brother.
"why'd you have to butt in?" he complained.
"We have a mission to do." Itachi replied emotionlessly.
Sasuke hated when his brother did that to him, the I-don't-care-sasuke-I-am-a-jerk face.
'He shows no interest in her, so he can't like her...right? ' Sasuke thought as he watched Hinata run inside.
Hinata nervously grabbed her bag, and left a thank you note for neji - who was still asleep. She bowed formally to her father and little sister in the kitchen before heading outside.
Hinata walked through the hyuuga clan's gardens, and out the back entrance to the property, where sasuke and Itachi were leaning against the fence.
"Ready?" Itachi asked.
"yes" Hinata replied, eyes downcast.
Itachi led the way as they practically flew from branch to branch in the forests surrounding konoha.
Sasuke's anger had almost faded, as he continued to watch Hinata out of the corners of his eyes, 'beautiful as always.' he thought The sky was quickly getting darker, clouds had appeared overhead and within an hour it rained heavily.
Hinata tried to keep her balance on the tree branches following sasuke and Itachi but just as she went to jump she slipped, she squeezed her eyes shut as she fell, unable to tell whether she'd hit the ground or a branch.
Hinata wanted to scream but it wouldn't have made a difference over the roar of the rain.
She opened her eyes and found she didn't land on a branch - Itachi had caught her despite it raining heavily.
"T-thank you Itachi-san" Hinata's face was almost glowing red,
'he's just as handsome as sasuke' Hinata thought, she shook her head.
'What am I thinking?'
Itachi smiled as he held Hinata, before, he found the hyuuga heiress cute. But now as the rain making her jacket cling to her body, he found her all the more attractive.
Sasuke watched on, he had never been this angry at his brother before, why was he holding his Hinata so close?
After the episode in the forest, the rain slowed a little as they were at Konoha's limits.
'my hearts still pounding, I need to be more careful from now on' Hinata admitted to herself. 'blushing that much can't be healthy'
"Time to stop for lunch" Itachi said, emotionless as usual.
The three Shinobi looked on from one of the bridges of O-tafuku town, where it was sunnier.
Itachi lent against one of the buildings and took out a box of sushi with extra seaweed.
"u-um sasuke-kun can I talk to you for a bit?" Hinata asked, taking the opportunity. Sasuke nodded. 'Now's my chance.' he thought.
They walked behind one of the buildings so Itachi couldn't see or hear them.
"S-sasuke-kun what did you want to tell me before?..." Hinata asked shyly.
He took a step towards her, making her back into the wall.
"What I wanted to tell you was this..." Sasuke put his hand against the wall so he could lean over her "I love you." Sasuke whispered into her ear, this time Hinata's face went bright red.
"Do you love me too, Hinata?" he said, his forehead nearly brushing hers "Yes." was all Hinata could manage.
He closed his eyes and kissed her with all his anger and passion, his lips only brushing hers at first, then trying to touch the back of her mouth with his tongue the next.
Hinata responded, wanting him more and more with each passing second, her eyes shut tightly.
Sasuke broke the kiss first, resting his forehead against hinata's, panting slightly..
"We should go back shouldn't we?" he smiled.
"y-yes sasuke-kun" Hinata replied.
Sasuke pulled Hinata towards him, hugging her tightly "Just call me Sasuke, Hinata."
Itachi knew what his little brother was up to, but for once he would not let his little brother have his way.
The next time Hinata was alone, he would show her who was the better uchiha.
Sasuke returned moments later, Hinata trailing behind.
"Hurry up you two we need to get going soon." Itachi grumbled, he looked at the ground, 'am I... Jealous?' he thought to himself, not giving away any signs to sasuke.
"Yeah, yeah niisan" Sasuke smiled, grabbing a rice ball out of his bag and slinging his bag onto his back, While Hinata grabbed a can of apple juice she'd packed.
By 6 in the evening, the three Shinobi had arrived in the town not far from the mist ninja village.
Sasuke pointed towards one of the hotels as they passed through the crowds "We should stay here for the night" He said- half asking, half telling.
Itachi nodded and silently entered the building, the small old lady greeted them at the counter "Two rooms, one night." Itachi said to the lady who was clearly swooning in his presence, she merely nodded and gave him the room keys, he placed the money on the desk as they walked past.
Itachi handed Hinata one of the two keys he'd been given when they eventually found their rooms [the lady fainted before she could tell them which room's they'd been given]
She rushed into her room, blushing and closed the door.
Hinata unpacked some of her stuff , she hung her coat and purple jacket up on two of the coat hangers that had been left in the wardrobe.
There was a light knock on the door, just as Hinata went to open the door sasuke had opened it, making their faces only a few millimetres apart.
"Hinata do you want some Udon?" Sasuke asked - even his cheeks where a bit red.
"S-Sure thing." Hinata replied.
Sasuke was surprised, he'd never seen Hinata without her jacket on,
she wore a fishnet top that clung to every curve in her body.
"ok... then" Sasuke left the room quickly, trying to resist the urge to hold Hinata close to him again.
"I'm going out to get some Udon, niisan!" Sasuke yelled as he walked past the room he shared with his older brother.
