Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

I had this idea while watching The Big Bang Theory. The episode is 7X06 "The Romance Resonance" when Penny tries to do something romantic. That was my inspiration for this chapter.


Chapter 4:

D: Doesn't Count

White's Day. The day when the boys who were lucky enough to receive a gift or a confession on Valentine's Day need to give something back to the girls they like.

A.K.A Sasuke's worst nightmare.

Ever since Hinata gave him her special present, which put him in the hospital for a week and turned him into Naruto's mocking subject, she has been avoiding him.

They hadn't had any date in a month. They only shared a single kiss (can a peck in the lips be considered a kiss anyway?) and had done nothing more than that.

She put herself into lots of missions, and Sasuke suspected it was only to avoid him.

It was not like he was mad at her. No. He was angry when he woke up in the hospital's bed. He was angrier when he heard he had to stay there for a week. He was furious when Naruto came to visit him and mocked his situation. He wanted to kill his brother for spreading the news (who knew Itachi was such a gossipy person?).

But then when his mom went to talk to him, he calmed down. He had no reason to be mad at Hinata (maybe at Itachi and Naruto, but not Hinata). She only had good intentions (he doubted she wanted to kill him). And besides it she couldn't possibly know he was lethally allergic to sweets, could she?

She was never a fan girl. Sasuke would never even think about dating her if she was.

He hated his fan girls. Noisy, sticky and deaf girls (how many times did he tell them he did not like them?)

And Hinata seemed to know nothing about him.

And that made him kinda worried.

His girlfriend did not know anything about him.

And things got worse … way worse.

It was Friday's Night. Boys were drinking at a bar. It was normal for them to do that. Their tradition was once a month. Sasuke didn't enjoy it … he tolerate it. Actually the only reason he participated in those meetings was the fact that he liked to drink with his older brother. Even if it was with 10 more people.

They talked about boys stuff … the girls they got, how good she was in bed, the slaps Kiba would always get while trying to hit on a girl, the way Sai would refuse some girl's invitation because he could not understand what she said … boys stuff.

And that Friday Night The Boys and Ino managed to get Sasuke out of his control.

They were drinking and talking about their Valentine's Day experiences.

"Man, it was painfull, but sooooo worth it." Naruto got laid with Sakura … a very drunk Sakura. A very drunk and mad Sakura. A very drunk, mad and strong Sakura. And that explained his still broken arm even after a month.

"My night was also good. I got to meet new girls I didn't even know lived in here. They were hot" Kiba tried to hit on random girls … seven slaps that night. A record to him.

Sai spent his night alone drawing. "The drawings are my best friends. They don't talk nonsense like girls do to me"

Shino spent his day observing some bug's ritual of procreation; Lee got drunk with his sensei and wrecked some walls. Neji had to go to a traumatic meeting with a lord of the country. The lord tried to set him up with his daughter. And Neji had to fake a headache to get out of there alive.

Chouji and Shikamaru went to eat free barbecue."Free my ass. I had to pay for everything you guys ate. EVERY SINGLE DAMN FUCKING THING. I'm poor till my next birthday" Ino said getting out of nowhere.

"What are you doing here? Is Sakura-Chan here too?" Naruto looked over Ino's shoulder looking for Sakura.

"No. She's not. I'm here with Hanabi and TenTen" She said pointing to a table near the corner. You could see a happily drunk TenTen and a slight red Hanabi both laughing hard.

"Where is Sakura-chan then?"

"At the hospital. I've told you thousand times Naruto. Sakura is married to her job. I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up pregnant with gurneys" She said taking the glass out of Shikamaru's hand and placing it in her mouth. "So you and Sakura slept together. That explains why her neck was covered with hickeys the next day. So you're the rough type Naruto. Good to know. I'm so gonna rub it in her face tomorrow." A grin started to appear in her face.

"Only if you're able to get up. Stop drinking from my glass and get one yourself" Shikamaru lazily said to her, taking his glass back.

"I would if I had money. BUT I DON'T BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE EAT TOO MUCH WHEN THE WORD FREE IS HEARD"

"It was not my fault if you lost the bet. I told you shouldn't bet with Shikamaru. He's a genius." Chouji defended himself and his best friend.

Ino tried to argue but Naruto was faster. "Sakura-Chan didn't tell you about our amazing night? I thought girls talked about it"

"Sakura only said she'd done something bad and that it would never ever happen again" When Naruto said heard it, he became a little upset. "But I guess she was only mad because she was drunk. Don't take it personally Naruto. Like I told you before, she likes you, just don't wanna admit it yet. I bet when she got home she celebrated the amazing night you guys had. Trust me. I know more about her than she does, and I'm very good at reading between the lines" Naruto became happier when he heard that. "So what the rest of you did on Valentine's?"

"Why should we tell you?" Itachi asked. His dark orbs glaring at Ino. "Why don't you go back to your friends?"

"TenTen is drunk. She's kinda dangerous when drunk and holding a kunai. Better not be there."

"What about Hanabi?" The older Uchiha asked.

"Interested in Hanabi hmmmm. Heard something's going on between you two. Spent the Valentine's Day together"

"WHAT?" Neji almost screamed at what Ino said. His younger cousin and the Older Uchiha? Together? They were 8 years apart from each other. It wasn't enough if Hinata was with Sasuke. Now Hanabi with Itachi? No. NEVER!

"We did not spent the Valentine's together in that way. As you know she's under my supervision and we had a mission that day. It was not my intention or wish to be with her that day." Itachi explained, calming Neji down a bit. "And why would I want to be with such a person anyway? She's just too weird."

"Weird?" Neji asked, obviously nervous. "Is she not enough to the Great Uchiha Itachi? In case you're forgetting, she is the heiress of The Hyuga Clan, also an ANBU at such a young age. You shouldn't look down on her"

"So you are saying that I need to hit on her?" Itachi smirked. "Should I start doing it now?"

"NO. You must not get too close to Hanabi-Sama. She's too young for you. And she isn't old enough to get involved with boys"

"You're being divergent. Should I or Should I not be with her?" Itachi himself was clearly getting amused with the situation, to Neji's displeasure.

"Fuck you Itachi" Neji took a sip of his glass.

" You guys are hilarious. I'd rather hang out with you that with the girls. They're boring sometimes." Ino said while leading Chouji's glass to her lips. "By the way, Sasuke. What are you going to give to Hinata on White's Day? Are you planning on give her a ticked to the hospital, like she did to you?" When Ino made the joke Naruto was already rooling in the ground laughing hard.

"Shut Up Yamanaka. You talk too much" Sasuke was angry…

"Sasuke-kun why are you being so mean? It's not like it was Hinata's fault. If she asked me I'd tell her about your 'relationship' with sugar. Too bad she didn't. It would've saved you a trip to the hospital" Ino was passing the limits now. Sasuke was starting to get red; red with anger. "Now let's be serious. You didn't give her anything or Valentine's Day. You MUST give her a present on White's Day. It's a MUST. What about doing something romantic. I bet you've never done anything like this before, right?" She was now arching a perfect shaped brow.

"Valentine's, White's … this's all bullshit. Just a crap commercial holyday created to make stupid people spend their money on stupid stuff."

"And that's why I told Hinata to break up with you. You don't deserve her. Actually I don't deserve any girl in the world. You should get married to your precious kunai. I bet she's more important than your girlfriend. That's why I hate men. You are stupid sexist people who thinks that women should only give birth. I swear someday I'm going gay. Have a horrible night, gentlemen. I rather get hurt by a drunk TenTen than spend my night with you" Ino was mad …. Really mad.

"And I'll take this" Ino took Sasuke's glass and headed to her previously table.

"Man, if she manage to wake up tomorrow she is gonna eat my eyes. Ichiha, you ruined mine and Shikamaru's week" Chouji was already expecting a very mad Ino beating him up the next day.

"She asked for it" Sasuke mumbled

"But she's right Sasuke, you should do something romantic for Hinata. She's always the one doing romantic things for you. If you like her so much you should do something about it." Itachi was serious this time.

"I do things romantic for her" Sasuke replied

"Sex DOESN'T COUNT" Itachi said, making all the eyes of the table turn to Sasuke.

"You deflowered my cousin Uchiha? In 4 fucking months you deflowered my cousin?" Neji had his Byakugan active this time.

"I thought you knew it by now." Sasuke smirked.

"You sonofabit…" Itachi shut Neji up before he could finish the sentence.

"Do not call my mother names. It is not her fault if Sasuke turned out to be such a jerk" Itachi had a smirk on his lips. "Maybe when she dumps you, you'll realize what you've lost and wish you could do more things to keep her interested in you" He took another sip. "Of course I'll laugh at your face then maybe I can get some strippers to make you happy when you feel like killing yourself because Hinata left you alone in the dark, while you cry hard and beg for her to not leave you" Now Itachi was laughing hard, fantasizing about his brother's agony. Okay, maybe he has had more than he should.

"Not happening. And I've done plenty of romantic things to her. I gave her a flower on our first date"

"You just handled her the flower she dropped. And that was not the first date. You just happened to be at the same place as her." Naruto explained

"I gave her a box of chocolates"

"Chocolates that your fan girl gave to you and you were going to throw away but Hinata was there and you just gave it to her." Shikamaru was making sense … well… he always does.

"Our first kiss was in the rain"

"Because you took her to the supermarket and forgot to bring an umbrella. Anyway, who takes a girl on a date at a supermarket?" Neji had deactivated his Byakugan by now "You even risked Hinata-Sama's healthy by taking her out while raining"

"I gave her my coat one day when she was cold"

"You gave her a dirty coat from the training session you had. And the only reason you gave it to her was because you weren't cold from your training" Kiba could not miss the chance to make Sasuke angry.

"Damn it Itachi, stop babbling about my personal life, will you?"

"Who told you it was me? Maybe Hinata told them" Itachi then realized what he said. Hinata would never say anything bad about Sasuke, actually about anyone. "Okay, got me. But that's not the point. You have never done anything to make Hinata happy. You should do something about it before she dumps you."

"I've done good things to her"

"Sex doesn't count, Sex never counts as proof of love, actually you should just stop having sex if you want to be romantic. Just have a normal relationship without sex. It's common these days" Neji was getting crazy trying to persuade Sasuke to give up on sex … sex with Hinata at least.

" Shut the fuck up Neji and go find some girl who wants to have sex with an androgynous man like you"

"You son …" Itache eyed him. "You fucker. I hope Hinata-Sama breaks your heart" Neji took a last sip, left money on the table and headed to Hanabi's table, pushing her to the front door and leaving with the kunoichi protesting.

"Yep, you just made him angry Sasuke. Congratulations!" Naruto told Sasuke, but when he turned to greet his best friend, Sasuke was already gone "Where did he go?"

"I don't know. But he's a grown up man. He can take care of himself. Let's have another drink" Itachi was already raising his hand to the waiter.


"I don't need to be concerned. Hinata would never leave me. She likes me so much to the point of putting me in the hospital. She'd never leave me. I know it … But guess I need to do something about White's Day. I could do something romantic. I mean, I'm an Uchiha. Uchiha can do anything. This is gonna be easy" Sasuke was walking down the dark street thinking (and speaking out loud) about what Itachi has just told him. He was concerned, and thinking about a way to show Hinata his feelings.

He was never good at this. Expressing his feelings. You don't need to express feelings in a battle field. You only need to kill the enemy. Easy and quick. Actually it was easier to think about a strategy to kill the enemy than to plan a romantic surprise to his lovely girlfriend.

Than he had an idea. No, not just an idea. He had the most incredibly idea he could have.

"Neji, I'm gonna rub it in your androgynous face, long haired bitch"


Hinata was at home that Friday night. She didn't want to go out with Ino, Ten Ten and Hanabi because she knew she'd meet Sasuke if she went.

She's been avoiding him for so long, afraid of his reaction and feeling guilty because of the cake. She never meant to send him to the hospital, and she even visited him, but when she was going to enter the room, she saw through the crack of the door ajar his scowl. She though he was mad at her and that he was planning to breaking up with her and she did not want that. She didn't want to break up with him, and that was the reason she was avoiding him.

She knew sooner or later Sasuke and her would meet and he was gonna say it was over. She knew she was only avoiding the inevitable and that she'd have to face it someday. She just didn't want to face it this soon. She was scared. She wanted Sasuke to be with her. She was never in a relationship before, and that was why she was so frightened of the situation.

She was thinking about it, lost in her thoughts, when she heard someone knocking on her window.

By the shadow, she knew who it was.

'Oh no, He's gonna break up with me now. What should I do?' She thought. 'I've gotta face it like an adult. I'm an adult. I'm 22. I can do it'

"Hi, Sasuke. What are you do-o-ing here? It' late. Don't y-ou wanna com-e back tomor-row?" She said, stepping aside so Sasuke could enter her room. 'Great Hinata, that's the way you face your problems. You're a coward'. She scolded herself in her thoughts

"Come with me. Now" He reached her hand and started dragging her out of her room.

"Whe-re are we go-ing? It's late. Let's leave that for t-omorro-w" She stuttered. 'Great, he's gonna break up with me in the middle of the village, so everyone can see how stupid I look when I cry'

"It's a surprise" Sasuke smirked. "I bet you're gonna love it"

'Oh that's greater than Great. He thinks I'm gonna love being dumped in front of the whole village. The night is getting greater and greater.' She was lost in her interior session of scolding that she didn't even realized that they had landed in some training field.

When Sasuke started walking in the direction of a big old tree, Hinata froze.

Where was he heading to? Was he gonna kill her? Because of a simply (and poisoned) cake?

She couldn't believe it. No, she could believe he was planning on killing her, she just couldn't believe he was gonna kill her over a cake. Was he crazy? Insane?

'I guess I deserve it … I guess I had a good life. I was spoiled. I've always had almost everything that I wanted. I could find love in Sasuke's arm … even if he's the one taking my life away. Well. Goodb….'

"What are you doing?" The husky and sexy voice took her out of the thought. "Ain't you coming?"

"Wai-i-t. I'm coming" Hinata run to reach Sasuke.

They walked for about 5 minutes, in completely silence.

"Uh-h Sas-uke. I-f you want to k-i-ll m-e-e" "Hinata, take a look" Both say at the same time.

Hinata stopped in the middle of her sentence and looked forward. She was definitively surprised. There, in front of her, stood thousands of Black Roses making the form of a Heart, and in the middle of the Heart were two letters. H and S. The full moon was illuminating the whole Heart and making a beautiful effect and highlighting the H and S in the middle.

"Sas-uke, that's amazin-g. How did y-ou manage to do a-ll this?" Said a mesmerized Hinata

"I got the black roses from the Yamanaka Shop." He put his hands on his pocket.

"But it's almost midnight. Yamanaka's store isn't open, ri-ght?" Hinata looked into his eyes.

"I kinda broke into their store … but I left money. I paid for everything."

"Oh Sasuke. I lo-ved it. Tha-nk you so mu-ch" She hugged her boyfriend. Her worries about him breaking up with her were gone.

"What did you mean when you said about me killing you?"

"Oh" Hinata started getting red "I thought you wan-ted to ki-ll me beca-use of what happened on Valen-tine's. The cake and the ho-s-spital stuf-f". She was really embarrassed.

"Why would I kill the cutest girl in the village" He started getting closer to her face. When his lips connected, their tongues started the fight to get the dominance. They only broke the kiss because they needed air to breath.

"This is fanta-stic Sas-uke. Even if Black Roses mean death, they are beautiful"

When Sasuke heard that, he felt … depressed. He managed to do something romantic to his girlfriend and yet he chose flowers that mean death? What was wrong with him?

"Thank you so much Sasuke. I loved it." Hinata hugged Sasuke again, but this time both felt to the ground. Sasuke then kissed Hinata again, stronger this time.

That night, none of them returned home.


Meanwhile…

"Do you think I look like a girl, Hanabi?" Neji asked his little cousin on the way home.

"Of course not Neji, you don't look like a girl … you are a girl yourself" Hanabi started laughing hard and loud. It was never a good idea to take her out to drink.

Minutes later, when they reached the Hyuga Compound, Hanabi fainted on Neji. He took a deep breath and took her to her room and put her in her bed.

When he was about to get out of her room, he stopped in front of Hanabi's makeup mirror.

"I am not androgynous. I do not look like a girl". He then went to his room.


Oh Kami. It took more than a day to get this done. Thanks gosh it's finally done at least.

Now I'm thinking about E. It's gonna be hard.

Ahh and for the Guest: No. I wrote there that Sasuke hasn't eaten sweet ever since he was 10, not that he was 10. And I explained why it's put as complete in the first chapter. Read it there.
