Summary: She was 8 years old, with a long medical history. He was the class clown, he was the bug lover, he was the Emo, he was the artist, he was her best friend, and they were all close friends… until the drama of high school settled over the pack… Inspired by Big Bang's Haru-Haru (or Day by Day).

Disclaimer: I do not anything but the plot of the story. Haru Haru belongs to Big Bang so maybe I don't own the story lot either. Sorry but I forgot to thank some of the reviewers in the second chapter so thank you to: taigan-tan1000, MGS Jesus, Rose Tiger, K.999999999, dark-lelu, P5yCH0, lyiaRose...

What is it about that person next to you, did he make you cry?

Dear can you even see me, did you forget completely?

I am worried, I feel anxiety because I can't get close nor try to talk to you

I spend long nights by myself, erasing my thoughts a thousand times

Sasuke cleaned himself up after being sent home. He silently cursed himself for ever agreeing to play along with her. She might not see it but she was slowly killing him; he had been dying since the day he ended it with her and it had only gotten worse since they started "dating".

The whole idea was stupid; soon enough the rest were going to join the fight over her. Through he never really liked her in that way Sasuke would still be caught in it like Neji and the girls.

"Sasuke!" his older brother called from the living room. "She's coming up!"

He dove for the bathroom to clean himself off; she saw him like this she would freak out.

Hinata walked into the room and looked around, "Its been awhile since I've been in here. So Sasuke, you read-. What happen?"

He smirk a little and took her by the hand, "Maybe later, let's get you to your appointment."

Once in the car Hinata looked at his battered face and started to cry, "Naruto did that, didn't he?"

"I said that I'll tell you after your appointment." he answered pilling out of the drive.

"No, Sasuke. He didn't need to go that far-"

"Yes he did. Naruto may look like he never gets mad but when he does, he'll tear things apart."

"He should have came after me."

"He's ignored you before high school, he'll move on-"

"I want him to but if he was going to hit you it should have been me." she said looking out of the windshield.

"Then he'd get killed by his friends, your friends and your father."

"Father never liked him anyways, he would have killed Naruto someday." she smiled softly.

Sasuke looked at the girl from the corner of his eye. Hinata Hyuga, the shy, soft spoken, non-violent Hyuga heiress was just as broken as her ex.

"I don't get it," he confessed. "You love that blond but how many times was he the cause of your tears before you guys where together, then and now? I remember seeing you come out of the bathroom today, you don't lie every well. Did he do something today?"

Hinata bit her lip and stared out the window as they pulled to a stop, "He talked to me."

"You know people are always going to be there for you, Hinata? You don't need to cry alone." he said as the red light turned back to green.

"But you do it all the time." she whispered.

She was right. Sasuke had to much honor to cry with anybody, much less cry period.

"Do as I say not as I do." he said with a smirk.

"If it was only that easy." she murmured.

He sighed heavily, "Listen, when you were with him all you ever saw was the guy that stood beside you. You forgot completely about the people behind you; they're behind you to catch you if you ever fell. You forgot you had me, Sai, Kiba and Shino. You've known Kiba and Shino and you were friends with them before the rest of us."

~:~ Day ~:~ By ~:~ Day ~:~

Despite their conversation that day time still went by and as time went by it became obvious that Hinata was wearing a mask.

Sure she smiled, she laughed and she joked. She hopped around, she shouted and cheered. But when she thought no one would be watching she'd stare off into space, her eyes glassy; she'd almost start crying if someone didn't say something.

But then as they were waiting for her finish up a test they started talking.

"It's not like we can jump him for no reason." Ino reasoned.

"If he tries to talk to her again I'll have a reason." Temari growled.

Most of them were there. Temari, Tenten, Sakura and Ino. Neji, Lee, Sasuke and Shikamaru. They were on the topic of Hinata slowly increasing depression. It seemed like Sasuke's argument with her the other day didn't help but just really sped up the process.

"What gives him the right to walking into Hinata's life and rip her already damaged heart out of her chest?" Temari continued.

"Can't you be quiet?" Sasuke moaned as he stretched his legs out.

Temari turned on her heel and stocked over the boy, "And you, if you had just shut your goddamn pie whole and refused Hinata's offer then both the Knucklehead and the Princess wouldn't be killing themselves!"

"Temari," Shikamaru started, but was drowned out as his girlfriend kept up her ranting.

"Have you seen her? Have you seen him? They look as if they haven't slept in days! They look like fucking zombies and why? Because they can't talk to each other, they can't even touch each other because your bastard ass is creating a false barrier that shouldn't even exist! Do you not realize how much its hurting both your best friend and the girl you like?"

"Temari," Sakura hissed from her seat next to Ino.

"What? Don't you notice? Every guy in their group, every guy stares at her the same way. Naruto was the lucky one, he was the one who got her first, he was the one she choose. She couldn't pick Shino or Kiba her best friends, Sai was Sai and she knew he'd always be Ino's whether or not he knew it. As for Sasuke he was always waiting, weren't you?"

"I have never saw her in a romantic way, if you're asking that."

"Bullshit!"

"Okay, that is enough, Temari." Ino stepped in. "This is no one's fault. Now go and sit down. We are here to support Hinata not point fingers. None of us can change her idea of getting over him. If dating his best friend is how she wants to go about it then let her. For the shy girl she's stubborn and all of us should know that."

Sasuke blocked out the rest of the group as he stunk into his own thoughts.

Maybe he lied just a little. He had once saw Hinata as more then just a friend. He was always waiting for her, at least in the beginning of her and Naruto's relationship. If someone had asked him when they were in middle school who he liked it would have been Hinata. He couldn't remember all the times he wanted had watching his ceiling at night and only thinking of her…

But that was middle school; this was high school. It was a whole new ballgame. For this he could only finish he had been smart enough to avoid it.

Author's Notes:

1) This chapter sucked. When I say suck I mean majorly sucked. May end up rewriting it later on, if I see fit. I don't know. I think this chapter was just a filler until the next one.

2) VOTE! I have a poll up on my profile. "Should Hinata die at the end HaruHaru?". So its either a yes or no question. Although, I know Hinata is a character that you just have to like (my friend and I were discussing this and we were like Hinata is one of the most loved characters, you hardly see any Hinata bashing. Its true I haven't read any Hinata bashing) but I might just end up killing her off because if I don't then I'll have to thinking of a way to end it. If you want Hinata to live vote and send in ideas!
