A/N: Sorry for the delay, I have been watching Clannad (I felt depressed q-q). Thank you for the 2 lovely reviews and to Guest #1,
I am not bashing Naruto. He is one of my favorite characters and I love naruhina. I just feel that sasuhina needs more love :).
Without further ado, chapter 2!


Chapter 2
Love triangle?

Sasuke's POV

She actually looked at him! Haruno Sakura was looking at him! One minute she was talking to Tsunade-sama and the next she waved at Sasuke and smiled. He knew he shouldn't be that worked up, but today felt different. Maybe he can ask her out today, or maybe she will ask him out!

"Hey Sasuke-san." Sasuke looked up to find emerald eyes looking in his direction, maybe the gods really love Uchihas!

"Hi Sakura-Chan, how's it g-going?" he stuttered while trying to avoid eye contact, he was already blushing like a tomato as it was.

"Would you like to join Naruto-kun and me in some lunch? I heard he is bringing a friend from his academy days." She said with the biggest smile Sasuke has ever seen. Sasuke finally decided to look at her and quickly nodded at her question.

"Sure Sakura-Chan! Who is his friend?" he said making sure Naruto didn't bring a wackjob. The last time Naruto brought a "friend", the boy ended up eating all their food and stealing all of Sasuke's tomatoes.

"Her name is Hinata Hyuuga, you must know about her from the academy." Sakura said with another vibrant smile and eyes that could purify the world, or maybe he was thinking too much.

"Yeah I know her, let's get going I-I guess." Sasuke mumbled making sure she didn't catch the scowl when she mentioned Hyuuga. She attacked him yesterday and then tried to ask him out. He probably would've said yes if it wasn't for her "rough" attitude. Sasuke hoped that she wouldn't ask him out today, not in front of Sakura.

It's not like he would ever say yes, right?


Hinata's POV

The sun continued to batter down Konoha, and the lack of rain wasn't helping. Hinata's pearl white kimono with the proud Hyuuga symbol on the back was now her normal attire, and her midnight blue long hair was now down to her waist. Naruto was beside her, talking about how Team 10 got promoted to a higher rank.

'Hiashi, are you certain that Hinata Hyuuga could lead the clan? Her attitude towards others isn't what I call "heiress material".'

The council members weren't 100% enthusiastic on Hinata being heiress. Fortunately in the end they all (reluctantly) agreed and now she was with her friend Naruto for lunch with Sakura. Hinata didn't want to change her attitude for just the council, but she was running out of options. As Hinata was about to break the defenseless wooden table in frustration Sakura came to save the day...with a guest.

"Naruto-kun, sorry that I'm late. I was just inviting Sasuke-san if that's alright with you." Sakura added. As Hinata looked to her left she saw a fuming Naruto. On top of that Sasuke was staring back at Naruto with a confidant smirk.

"But Sakura-chan! This was supposed to be a date! Come on let's leave these losers behind, it's not like they would care anyways." Naruto whined as he dragged innocent Sakura behind while dodging a swift punch by the female Hyuuga. Soon enough they left leaving the two soon to be heirs. Hinata smiled at the nervous Sasuke and quickly stood up. 'Too easy!' She said in her mind. Sasuke may have rejected her the first time, but this time she will have him for sure!

"Since you know Naruto like Sakura, why don't you take me on a date? I don't bite, I just want to know you better." she demanded with an evil smile as Sasuke's confidence disappeared.

"U-uh well I kinda-" Sasuke was then stopped by Hinata and then they were gone.


Naruto's POV

Many civilians thought that the Uzumaki was stupid. Even though the Rookie Nine all knew how capable he really was. His strength was on par with Uchiha Sasuke, and he could purify the darkest souls. He even had a new fan club that supported his childish but entertaining way of life.

He was also in love with Sakura, and didn't know how to say the truth to her. Unfortunately, the Uchiha liked Sakura too, but it was a small crush. Naruto purposely left Sasuke with Hinata because when it came to romance, Sasuke would flat-out beat him.

"Naruto, you can let go now." Sakura stated with concern, and Naruto looked back to see the beautiful Sakura next to him.

"Ah sorry Sakura-chan, I just want Sasuke and Hinata to be friends, they are both in a powerful clan but they aren't very social." Naruto explained. It was half-true, the other half was Hinata helping Naruto with asking Sakura out.

"Well then where are we going?" Sakura whispered and Naruto panicked. What if she thought of it as a date? Would Sasuke get mad? Suddenly he didn't feel so good. Then another blonde-haired savior showed.

"Sakura? Naruto? What are you doing here? Are you on a date?" Ino said with an evil smirk while adding her hands on her hips.

"No this isn't a date. We were just hanging out! Anyways why don't you take Sakura-chan! I have to go check on Sasuke and Hinata!" Naruto yelled before he ran off.

Hinata was right when she said he needed to be more assertive. However he couldn't do that when Sasuke like her, right?


Sasuke's POV

A day with Hyuuga Hinata wasn't as bad as Sasuke predicted. She was sometimes pushy when dragging him to different locations but apparently she had a relatively calm personality when people weren't annoying her. Sasuke discovered that she was Naruto's best friend and she was trying to make Naruto ask out Sakura.

"So Naruto-san has your help and guidance, what does he do for you in return?" Sasuke shyly asked as Hinata looked at him with a weird expression.

"Well Naruto has and always will be there for me when I am feeling down or I am just frustrated in general. He isn't that much of a baka as everyone believes " Hinata simply stated while looking at the orange sun. His day with Hinata was fortunately not bad at all. She had a unique lavender scent which soothed Sasuke's rather worrying attitude.

Maybe they could become friends with the rate they are going. Sure she was rude at first but once Sasuke got to know her he realized that no one could be perfect. However he was still worried about where Naruto and Sakura headed to. Why did Naruto only take Sakura? Was he going to ask her out?

However most of Sasuke's thoughts were thrown away when he bumped into Naruto, therefore bumping back into Hinata, pissing her off.


A/N: I promise I will post part 3 sometime soon. I will make the next one longer as I have nothing to do for tomorrow :).
