Chapter 4: Marvelous Picnic, Beautiful Butterflies, …and burnt sausages?

Author's Note: Thanks to Girl101 for a suggestion. And thanks to people for subscribing. Anyway, some of you made note of my story being fast paced. Firstly, this is because I'm terrible at Romance. My work is usually Dark Fantasy or Realistic Fiction when I write a story. And, truthfully, fanfiction isn't something I often do. Secondly, though I only decided this recently, the lack of structure in their relationship will become a problem later in this story. It isn't something that's going to go away and magically be filled as a gap, so you can expect issue to rise up later. Also, a point was made about Hinata seeming "easy." Dear readers please don't think of Hinata as a floozy! She admired and crushed on Naruto for several years, at least 3-4 in the shown story, and who knows how many more before then. She was drowned in emotions at the time, and needed some kind of help in feeling better, though I say she should've just eaten chocolate or something, though that may have spoiled her wonderful physique! And for the sex she gave him right after, well it's more like he took it. But, regardless, Hinata was willing to accept by this point most likely because of being grateful for the previous night, Sasuke drowning her negative emotions…with pleasure. But, as I said, this relationship having no foundation is going to be negative later. Anyway, on with the story!

Sasuke's suggestion of the picnic at the lake was something that Hinata took to with great joy. She greatly wanted to have a day like this, but Sasuke suspected that she just wanted her mind off of Naruto. The way her gaze occasionally shifted into space, and the way she stumbled more than usual in her speech tipped off Sasuke about her thoughts. And, another problem was rising. It had only been a few days since they'd started dating. Truthfully, Sasuke was almost certain that their relationship was nothing but that of friends, and anything else was built purely on lust, or on thankfulness from Hinata's end. Sasuke really liked her, but he didn't think that Hinata quite liked him in that same way yet. To compensate, Sasuke was going to do his best. He was going to make her fall in love with him.

Holding hands, the two of them walked to the lake, where they sat down on a grassy, knotty hill. Sasuke helped Hinata lay out the picnic blanket, red and white tiles. Sasuke set the basket down in the center, and opened it. Inside, lay several things that Hinata herself had cooked. But, also inside, lay some things that Sasuke himself had cooked, directly out of Uchiha Recipe Books. He was pretty sure that Uchiha wasn't very good at cooking, and it wasn't famous for it either, but Sasuke was certain that his mother's old cook books had been helpful in compensating. Sasuke was fairly certain that his mother's cooking was top notch, and he vaguely remembered that she had been one of the most respected chefs in Konoha. Itachi had often bragged about it.

Sasuke looked at Hinata, noticing that she wasn't eating. She was staring out into space again. Sasuke's rage was starting to build as a result of what had happened with Naruto. Luckily, Sasuke had already planned his cold, calculating revenge. He had already set up a trap to lure Naruto here with a fake, though identical handwriting, love note from Sakura, telling him to meet her here. If Naruto was stupid, which he was, he should arrive here right about-
"SAKURA-CHAN!" Naruto shouted as he poofed into the area, looking around expectantly, and with a casual wave.

Now. Right now. Naruto's voice was annoying, and it took all of Sasuke's willpower to keep from getting up, marching over to Naruto, and hitting him square in the face for constantly yelling Sakura's name in such a stupid way. Sasuke quickly turned around, turning Hinata around as well. She was too spaced out to even notice that Naruto was here. Sasuke whistled, causing both Naruto and Hinata to snap out of their delusions and look in his general direction. With one eye, he gazed at Hinata using his Sharingan. With the other, at Naruto. Hinata's will was weak. Naruto was just an idiot. He put them both under different Genjutsus. Hinata, he put under a Genjutsu of the same scene unfolding here, but he erased Naruto from the picture. Naruto, he put under a Genjutsu that turned Sasuke into Rock Lee, and Hinata into Sakura.

Sasuke smiled at Hinata, taking a cherry. He coiled it around her soft, perfect lips slowly, until she opened her mouth to eat the cherry. Sasuke leaned in and kissed her, getting some of that cherry taste, along with the sweet taste of her lips. At the same time, he saw Naruto stop dead in his tracks. "Sakura-Chan…?" he asked aloud. "W..why are you here with Bushy Brow? Why are you kissing? This..this is some kind of joke right? Your note…"

Naruto was crushed, visibly so. Sasuke was satisfied with this mostly, but not perfectly. Naruto dropped to his knees, obviously in deep, gut wrenching pain. Sasuke pulled out a sausage, influencing his illusion over Hinata so that she didn't see this, though she probably wouldn't notice since he was kissing her. He aimed at Naruto, and hurled the sausage. It was burnt, and covered in filthy toppings. It hit Naruto square in the face, causing him to stare cross eyed at it for a moment, before crying out in disgust as he hurled it off. Naruto started spazzing out in place. Sasuke pulled away from Hinata, and started laughing, cracking up while Naruto ran around in circles like a dog chasing it's tail. But, Hinata couldn't see Naruto, so she had no idea what Sasuke was laughing at. "Your tongue tickles the roof of my mouth." Sasuke lied. Hinata smiled. He could see it in her eyes. She was still hesitant, despite sex and everything. She didn't like him the way that he liked her. Sasuke still wanted to change that, and he wanted to change definitely.

His mind was made up. He would make Hinata fall in love with him, and he would also spend the rest of his life with her. This was the girl. He was a bit young to make such decisions on his own, but he was an Uchiha with the fate of his clan resting on his shoulders. Not only was Hinata a logically good choice, but she was the first girl that Sasuke had ever actually liked. Plus, she had taken his virginity, as he had taken hers. After the picnic was over, the two of them, holding hands, packed up and left, leaving Naruto in tears.
