Today was the sports festival which all grades would be participating in. Sasuke was unusually happy today and Hinata could tell because he wouldn't smiling. "Whats so funny" she asked turning out the teachers directions on safety. He looked at her and realized, if she knew he was only happy because he wanted to win she would try to outdo him in everything. Sasuke didn't want to admit it but she was almost as athletic as him. So he said something to get her mad" you're stupid apple face" living up to her name it turned a bright red almost glowing.

She then kicked his chair from underneath him and he fell with a thud. That got him from smiling." What the heck " he shouted ramming her off her seat. The electricity between them was frightening as Ino, Sakura and Shikamaru held Hinata back while Naruto, Kiba and Choji held Sasuke down.

" BRING IT BIRD"

" I WILL YOU DUMB FRUIT"

The teacher just shook her her head separating them into two different corners of the room could they ever just get on with class without them fighting. She could seriously feel a headache coming on.

Itachi stood far off from the fields to get away from the mothers that decided it was cute to pinch his cheeks and all the girls that wanted to 'accidently' trip right in front of him. It wasn't his fault that blonde girl hit the floor like a brick. " These people are crazy I almost feel bad for Sasuke...almost " he thought aloud searching for his little brother and friend.

Far in the distance he could see them, being dragged in opposite ways. He sighed knowing it was going to be a long day.

Especially with his sore loser of a brother.

Sasuke's unnoticible smile appeared out of thin air once again to the sight of participants. He planned on crushing them all in the competition no questions asked. The only two he was really looking out for was Kiba and Hinata because they were all in the same event. Kiba was apart of the Inuzuka clan so he was already a dog and dogs like to play, while Hinata, she just knew his weakness whether he liked it or not.

Three events had gone by and Hinata was as ready as ever, Sakura noticed this too and grinned knowing that when it came to Hinatas turn it would probably put them in the lead. She had took part in bringing them down and the time for the races would put them ahead." Hinata-chan lets do our best she told her before heading out to the field.

Sakura had been in the egg toss and maybe, just maybe threw it a little too hard. She knew when she heard an older girl screaming about eggs in her hair, she was out of the game. Besides it was Naruto to blame, if he wasn't so short he could have caught it no problem

Shortly after it was time for the race, it wasn't too long but it was like the teachers wanted to tire these kids. There were two boys and two girls participating in this race. Sasuke and Kiba, then Ino and Hinata.

Ino automatically didn't count in Sasukes eyes because she didn't care about winning. The older Uchiha took a spot near the finish line for a better view, that a teacher was complaining about all the girls that just happened to drop around him.

The runners took their mark in their designated lines, and everyone took their poses. Hinata winced on her left ankle, remembering Sasuke made her hit when she was knocked out of her chair " stupid crow but, make got me hurt" she refused to sit out for several reason , the main one was to show Sasuke that he she was better than him. Which she was going to do.

The whistle blew and they started running. Sasuke was in the lead followed by Kiba , Hinata just inches away then Ino who took to slowly jogging behind a couple feet. The small Uchiha looked back to see Hinata completely behind and slowing down. He saw her limping a little bit, and growled. 'That stupid apple its no fun if you're not up here 'He thought to himself not even realizing he too was slowing down enough for both Kiba and Ino to pass him

Turn back and get her or finish the race which was less than 20 feet away.

Turn back?

Finish the race?

She staggered before falling to the ground, hands first into the dirt. Itachi slapped a hand over his head

" Hinata how do you trip over oxygen"

Sasuke sighed. The things he did for that girl. He took a sharp turn sprinting back down the line, coming to an abrupt stop. He was breathing heavy and could feel the hot air just floating around him as he stared at Hinata. She wasnt crying but struggling to get back up to feet. "Come on Apple" he said putting an arm underneath hers and lifting. Hinata's face burned crimson, it wasn't like they haven't touched before but it was usually because they were trying to claw at each others throats. This one actually felt kind of nice"T-thanks" she muttered out admitting defeat.

He blamed the sun that turned his cheek a light shade of red" shut up, just remember this tomorrow at lunch"

He ran for the second time today. He filmed it, every second of it, that's blackmailing. Itachi popped in the tape and set it to repeat for the whole family to watch . " Sasuke I knew you were getting fat, turns out it was from Hinatas bento" Itachi said holding off sasuke from ripping his eyes out" Delete it now, you ugly weasel" He was already mad that he lost the race, but even more so because Hinata used his weakness against him without knowing. It was her.

"Oh Hinata so cute, poor dear got a sprained ankle" Mikoto spoke disappointingly sitting in front of the screen rewatching every moment, since she couldn't be there herself. Fugaku just shook his head ignoring all the shouts of his boys and the cooings of his wife.

" I really need to get away more"
