Dislaimer: I do not own Naruto and never will.
Chapter 4 The new bet
"Are you ok Hinata-chan?" asked a worried shoji.
"Hai" smiled Hinata.
"I swear if that guy ever does anything to you, I'll beat the crap out of him" he said angrily.
"Don't get yourself into trouble again" she sighed.
"That was the past" he began to think "Now that I think about it, that's the first time I met you" he grinned.
Flashback
"After that guy with the backpack!" yelled a man as he pointed towards a young man ahead of him.
A group of older men dashed towards him, hitting anyone in their way.
'I gotta loose these guys' thought shoji as he looked around. He then noticed the library. He ran in there, hoping to lose the group of thugs. He slammed the doors open. He tried to catch his breath while he looked around quickly. He then noticed a young girl at the counter.
"How can I help you si…" she was cut off.
"Hide me please" he pleaded.
She nodded in agreement and pointed behind the counter for him to hide. All of a sudden the doors barged open again. Everyone turned their attention to the noise.
"Come out!" yelled a man.
Another man went up towards the girl "Hey their cutie, did you happen to see a boy with a backpack on?" he asked leaning on the counter in a flirtatious manner.
"No sir" she said blankly.
"Are you sure.." he was about to check around the counter until he was stopped.
"Who do you think you are!" shouted an old lady "Can't you read the sign" she pointed towards a sign on the wall. It read: do not disturb the readers.
"Hold on hag.." once again the man was cut off by a slap from a newspaper.
"I said go away" she hissed beating each man with the newspaper, leading them out the library.
The group of men soon left and the old lady left returned to her work.
"psst…is the coast clear?" whispered the young boy.
"Hai" replied the girl
The boy continued to sit down behind the counter and sighed in relieve.
"I thought those guys were never going to leave me alone" he laughed.
"Are you ok?" asked the girl. She noticed the boy had bruises and scratches all over his face. "Come on. I'm about to go on my break. I'll fix you up" she smiled as she offered him her hand to help him up.
A tint of blush rose across his face and he grabbed her hand for support. They headed outside the building and sat on a bench.
"There you go" she said as she placed a band aid on his right cheek.
"You were well prepared" he grinned.
"Hai. A ninja always has to be well prepared" she said as she closed her pouch that was located on her right leg.
He got up and looked around the place.
"Where I'm I?" he asked.
"You're in Konoha village" she said. She then noticed his head band on his right shoulder. The insignia was not from here but from the village of the sand. "You're from the sand?"
"Yes but I sort of got myself into trouble with a group of thugs. I packed my bags and rushed away from the village of the sand. Unfortunately those guys followed me here. Sorry for putting you in danger"
"Oh no it's ok. It's a pleasure to meet you" she bowed.
"Oh no no! It's my pleasure to meet you" he smiled. He then noticed a store nearby. "Let me offer you a treat"
"Oh no. I'm fine" she said
"Cmon" he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the store.
He grabbed two bottles of cans and paid the owner.
"Here you go" he said as he threw her the drink.
"Hai" she quickly caught the can that flew towards her.
They sat outside and continued to chat.
"Well my breaks over" she said raising herself up from the bench.
"It was nice meeting you" he smiled at her. "Hopefully I won't get into any more trouble"
"You have my luck. So you won't" she handed him a bottle cap.
"How is a bottle cap lucky?" he curiously asked.
"Read it" she giggled.
He turned the bottle cap over and read it. "You just won a free drink. How lucky!" he laughed.
"I'll give you my luck. Don't forget to visit me sometimes" she bowed and left.
"Hey I never learned your name!" he yelled.
"Hinata!" she shouted as she waved him a goodbye.
End of flashback
"Hey Sasuke"
Sasuke stopped walking. "What do you guys want" he said as he kept his back towards them.
"Well I heard about your little commotion today with Karin" laughed one guy.
"You are really good with the women" said another.
"What's your point" he said emotionless.
"Well we have another bet for you. That's if you're up for it"
"Don't waste my time" he scoffed as he walked away.
"We have one girl in mind that you will never get" said one guy.
"Yeah she's a hard one. No guy can ever get close to her"
Sasuke continued walking, ignoring them.
"Now that I think about it, you've encountered her today" said a guy.
Sasuke stopped.
"Yeah what was her name again? Hinata Hyuga" said another guy.
"What about her" said Sasuke.
"I heard from Karin what that girl told you. Really made a fool out of you" laughed a guy.
"Bet you can't get a kiss from her" said another
"Fine" said an aggravated Sasuke.
"We'll give you 24 hour.." the guy was cut off.
"I'll be done in an hour" and with that Sasuke walked off.
