Hmfan24 - Aren't you tired? I know I am. I mean typing 3,813 words, 15,857 characters is just tiresome.

Shikamaru – Troublesome if you ask me.

Hmfan24 – You're boring, I need someone else. Someone…more lively. Hey, INO!

Shikamaru – (eyes widen) Oh, hell no!

Hmfan24/Ino – (giggles madly) You're so funny Shika-kun!

Shikamaru - … save me!

Ino – Next Chapter will be filled with fluffy goodness!

Hmfan24 – Uh-huh (nods) you get tired of all the angst and stuff. It's going to be a big FLUFF ball. This chapter will have a little more humor.

Ino – She's trying to keep them as IC as possible.

Shikamaru – Aren't you going to crap this fic up with some Harvest Moon shit?

Hmfan24 – Who said it was shit? Harvest Moon is one of the best game series ever.

Ino – Yeah!

Shikamaru – Let's begin part two.

Hmfan24- Hey, I'm the boss I say it! PART TWO! PART TWO! PART TWO IS HERE!

Ino – (joins in with the terrible singing)

Shikamaru – Damnit.

Hinata POV

There was no sign of whoever we were running from. Sasuke refused to reveal our stalker.

"…color?" we were picking out futons. I pointed at the nice one with flowers decorated on it.

"No."

I just realized the price. Okay, maybe, the aqua-marine bed. That seemed to be cheap,

"Too bright." He pointed to a black bed.

I put my fingers together and looked down. It's not that I didn't like black beds, its just…

He sighed and continued walking.

We continued pointing from dark to bright before we finally came on a conclusion to choose a futon with dark blue flowers and a red background. It was nice and cheap and just what we needed.

The cashier was about to rack up the furniture, but…

POOF!

"Well, hello, Sasuke." Uh, I remember him. Kabuto I think his name was. Heh, reminds me of those Pokemon days.

"Hello, Kabuto." Sasuke grunted between his teeth.

"Ohayo, Kabuto-san, how are you doing?" it was nice to see familiar faces in a new place.

Sasuke grabbed my hand, "We paid. Let's go home, Hinata."

"Orochimaru-sama wants to see your girlfriend and you. He said it's urgent" I blushed. He said it a little too loudly.

People began to whisper and stare.

Sasuke rushed me out of the store, but Kabuto followed us. "Today is my day off. I need to get back home."

He managed to poof in front of us once more, "He said now, or no training for a week!"

We stopped, looking back to see the smirk on his face. Then Kabuto left.

"Come on."

"Sasuke, why does O-Orochimaru-senin want both of us?" I poked my fingers together. Why would he need me?

He mumbled something about pedophile under his breath. My eyes widened in shock, "What?"

"Nothing, he just wants to see if you are uh… never minding that. Don't call him Senin; the cocky jerk doesn't deserve such title." People giggled at our hands touching.

"Ano, um, S-Sasuke-san, why do you have to hold my hand?" I looked at his tight grip on my hand, blushing at the contact.

"You don't know the way."

I followed him quietly into a room, naturally clinging to his arm.

"Why, hello Sasuke and Sasuke's lover! Come in and sit." There were two red chairs In front of the elder's desk.

Sasuke didn't seem to move, but I obeyed the man's orders and took my spot in front of the desk.

"She's not my girlfriend nor is she my lover." Sasuke seemed to mumble under his breath and behind his grinding teeth.

"Kabuto says you two seem to be pretty close. You have been talking for weeks now. It wasn't until this morning that you two got in close contact." Orochimaru-senin seemed nice. Tsunade-sensei said he was the one to cause the war though. He didn't seem of a threat.

I still didn't feel comfortable talking to him.

"Neighbors, that's all. Now, what do you want, old man? Today is my day off!" Sasuke slammed his fist on the table.

Orochimaru smirked and chuckled, "Ku, ku, ku, I need to register Hinata-chan."

"Gasp," I didn't know he knew my name. How? I just met him.

"Heiress of the strongest clan in Konoha, Hyuuga Hinata's biggest aspiration is to become a medic-nin. She also dreams of raising a family with her crush Naruto. She loves sweets and hates seafood. Her hobbies include cooking, gardening, flower pressing and cleaning. She specializes in taijutsu and can be pretty sharp at times. Wonderful kekei genkei, better than the Sharingan at times, hm, I wonder if they were both in one child. Interesting experiment, I think." I flustered at his muse.

I looked up at Sasuke who was looking out the window.

"Hinata-chan, do you want to become a medic-nin? I must add, the medic-nin training facility is one of the best. Sasuke could use some attending to after his weekly missions." He grinned.

I blushed harder. I was inclined to nod, but Sasuke interrupted.

"Hinata plans to excel as a chunin here and a chunin she will be."

I sighed and slumped in my chair. Orochimaru sent Sasuke a glare, "I believe she can talk by herself! Now, Hinata-chan, what do you wish to be?"

"Gulp, w-w-whatever S-Sasuke w-wants, I-I'll be a-a Chunin." I looked down at my hands.

"Very well, and Sasuke, I have a mission for you two. Um, it's a simple D-rank mission. I'm sure you two can handle it. First mission as I couple…I mean team." He smirked. I have a feeling that mistake was on purpose.

"…"

"…"

We both were silent.

"Go on a date." He smiled.

I dug my face into my arms as I blushed madly.

"What the hell does this have to do with me getting stronger?" Sasuke had a firm voice.

"Well…" Orochimaru began.

"Oh, Damnit, a lesson." Sasuke cursed slumping down into the chair next to me, running his hand through his hair.

"Dating takes quick thinking and important social skills. It uses certain techniques such as decision making and lets the person infer social cues based on the person's personality. Sasuke, you seem to have a certain stick up you ass that has you closed off to other's opinions. Hinata, you give in too easily because of your self confidence. You both have trouble in teams because of your personality. But, you two should do well on the same team.

(Shikamaru- If you're too lazy to read the lesson then just move on ahead)

"Also I've taken note that your orange chakra is low. This chakra is associated with the parts of the consciousness concerned with food and sex. It is about the body's communication to the Being inside, about what the body wants and needs, and what it finds pleasurable. The person's ability to have children is also associated with this chakra. If there is not a clear relationship with the element of water, associated with this chakra, the person's relationship with water is a reflection of their relationship with the parts of their consciousness associated with this chakra."

(Ino – Boring parts over, now its time to PARTAY!)

"No." Sasuke stated plainly, "I don't need any fucking orange chakra."

I blushed even more and sank down in my chair lower.

"If you do not take action now you will either become barren or a rapist. Take your pick… plus… I'll buy you a house."

My eyes lit up and I faced Sasuke's pensive expression. I begged, "A-ano, Sasuke, I could live in the tree house and you could live in a house."

"You're not going to live alone and I'm not going to move because we are not taking the mission." He said.

"I'll build you a condo, my final offer." Why was Orochimaru being so nice.

"Sigh, what do you want to do, Hinata?" he looked towards me.

"Ano, u-um, I-I want t-to l-live i-in a h-house, p-please."

"Sigh I accept." He sighed taking my hand and walking to the door.

"Have fun!"

My first date…with Sasuke, I've always dreamed it would be with Naruto, but… I guess that can't happen now. I've broken away from that life.

"Where?" Sasuke kept his hands in his pockets and continued on a trail to nowhere.

What did he mean where? "Uh-…"

"Where do you want to go?" he glared at me.

"Ano, I-I r-really d-d-don't c-care, a-any place is fine." I followed closely behind him, watching the villagers pass by me.

We came up to a meadow. Oh, meadows are nice. We could just have a casual picnic. It wasn't until I heard a screech that I fell to my knees.

"Get up." I looked up at Sasuke's cold face. A shinobi was doing a jutsu on his opponent.

Orochimaru-senin had told us to stay balanced. That meant I had to try to be a little more assertive.

"Ano, Sasuke-san, I do not want to date here." I looked him in the eye with a serious expression on my face.

"I asked you where you wanted to go. I want to go here!" he glared hard at me.

Tears welled up in my eyes. I turned away from his glare, now terrified to look him in the eye, "Gomen."

"Sigh. Okay, are you hungry?" he asked in a nicer tone.

I shook my head. I didn't get hungry often.

"Do you… want to buy something? I have a little bit of money." I heard him step closer to me.

I shook my head once more. I didn't want him to waste money on me.

"Do you… uhg, I got nothing. Just tell me what you want to do so I can get this stupid date over with." He began walking away.

I followed tears dropping from my eyes, "G-Gomen, S-Sasuke-san, I-I know y-you d-don't want to go on a d-date w-with m-me. Y-You can have any girl and I don't even like you that much. Why w-waste your time with me?"

He stopped in his tracks looking behind at me, "No, you're okay. At least you're quiet is what I mean. What annoys me is you have no backbone. None whatsoever, it'd be nice if you had just a little, then…" he mumbled something.

We wound up at the ocean shore, "What did you say Sasuke?"

"Then you wouldn't have to cry so much. Usually I… don't care when people cry, but I always hated it when you came to the river crying. I don't know, I guess it reminds … I mean you remind me of…myself." He ran his fingers through his hair.

I sat in the sand and place my feet in the ocean, "Yes, Sasuke-kun," I blushed. Why did I have to say kun?

"What?" he looked back at me.

"I've always wanted to ask you why you became an avenger. I know you want to kill your brother and all, but you left Konoha. Why?" he sat down beside me.

I still hear your voice,
When you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch,
in my dreams
Forgive me my weakness,
But I don't know why,
Without you it's hard to survive

The sunset reflected on his onyx eyes, "My brother said all I need to defeat him is Power and Hatred."

"Why listen to him? He wants you to follow his path. Neji said that you cannot fight with hatred, but with the empowerment of love. And only with love, will you develop the ultimate courage to prevail. Prevail with the loved-ones who care, with those who protect you, with those who you truly love. Without that being your source of power, you will fall every time. And I believe him; I believe love is the best power. It can outshine all things that will come your way." I looked at him before looking out into the ocean.

"Hn. I'm not like you. You took a better path than me. You can forgive much more easily than I can. I can and will never forgive my brother for what he did."

"Yes, I get what you're saying, Sasuke, but it's not too late. I think you can still defeat him, but next time your mind won't be set on killing him, but it will be set on assuring that your future family is safe and that you're safe. That's what matters right?" I gave him a smile.

Cause every time we touch,
I get this feeling
And every time we kiss,
I swear I can fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast,
I want this to last,
Need you by my side
'Cause every time we touch,
I feel the static,
And every time we kiss,
I reach for the sky,
Can't you feel my heart beat so
I can't let you go,
Want you in my life.

He sighed and leaned back, "You know, you're one of a kind, Hyuuga. Thank you, but… my past… it'll always be there. It's hard to look at the future. I hear Orochimaru wants to take over my body, I don't really care if he does or not I…just want to avenge my family, dead or alive."

He didn't care if he died or not? Tears rolled down my cheeks from my face, the glare from the sunset glowed upon them making it difficult to see, "Don't say that! You should care! You're scared, aren't you? It's okay, Sasuke, because I'm just as scared as you are. I never will be able to please my family. You think you never will be able to defeat you're brother, don't you?"

"I'm not scared!" he turned around so he wouldn't face me. He was lying.

"You are, Sasuke, I know because I am. We're one in the same, but we just took different paths neither of us succeeding. No matter how hard we try nothing is getting better. We may not grow stronger physically, but we can help each other develop mentally." Where did all this confidence come from? I guess when I want someone to feel better…I…feel the need to help them.

"…" he stay there frozen.

I continued, "You can defeat Itachi with the love you have for you family, just as I can become stronger by surviving on the love I have from others. I'll help you, Sasuke-kun." I took his hand.

He looked up with a glimmer on his onyx eyes. He…was crying.

"What do you want most in life, Sasuke? I know it's not to kill your brother. What will you do after you defeat him?" Maybe I seemed too pushy, though he still didn't seem to mind.

He wiped his eye, "…"

Your arms are my castle,
Your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry
the good and the bad times,
We've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall...

"Come on, uh… do you want to become a teacher, a doctor, one of those delivery people, open up a shop, ANBU leader, continue the Uchiha police force -…" he cut me off as he started to get closer to my face with a smirk.

I blushed at how close we were as he caused me to lie back on the sand, "I want to raise a family," His smirk his hands bracing himself above me, he neared my face.

I lied there with him right above me looking into my eye, "S-Sasuke-kun, w-w-wha-… w-well, I-I'm s-s-sure y-you c-can f-find a-a w-wife e-easily. Ano...EEK!"

His lips met mine before I got another word out. Why… why did I feel different now? I thought we were just friends. Maybe not even friends and there was always that weird feeling but now… I feel different.

Did…could…I think Sasuke has replaced Naruto. I feel more confident around Sasuke more than I did around Naruto. It's weird though, Sasuke doesn't really show it, but I feel he cares more. It's…a mutual relationship.

I was lost in the kiss he gave me. My… first kiss, I always dreamed it would be Naruto. But sometimes dreams aren't always for the best.

I blushed deeply when I felt his tongue, "Mmm…" I moaned. We seemed to both be new at this, for he kissed with hunger and passion and I barely but ever-so tenderly kissed him back.

He brought me on my side, wrapping his arms around my waist. I kept my hands on his chest, but gradually my hands wrapped around his neck thirsting for more. His mouth was addicting, tasty.

'Cause every time we touch,
I get this feeling
And every time we kiss,
I swear I can fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast,
I want this to last,
Need you by my side
'Cause every time we touch,
I feel the static,
And every time we kiss,
I reach for the sky,
Can't you feel my heart beat so
I can't let you go,
Want you in my life

The sun set completely when I looked up. It was dark and I could barely see his features, but he was licking his lips.

I blushed harder.

"That was fun, Hinata-chan. First time?" he held my hand.

I nodded, "Hai."

"It was my first time too. Well except for that dobe incident." He got up and offered me a hand.

I didn't want to really talk, "…" I was still pretty shocked on what happened. Uchiha Sasuke, traitor of Konoha kissed…well…made out with me. What are you doing, Hinata? You ran away with the most wanted man of your village.

He brought me to our home, "The futon is here. I suggest you go to bed. I'll wash up."

I looked up at the dark tree house, "Sasuke-san--…"

"Kun," I blushed, "call me Sasuke-kun."

"Sasuke-kun, ano, are you hungry? I can make you something to eat." I heard his stomach growl.

He sighed and looked up at me, "I haven't been to the market in a while. You've been cooking for me for the last week or so. We can go tomorrow."

I began to climb up the ladder activating my Byakugan to see where I was going.

Upstairs I found a nice bottle of Hot Green Tea.

Congratulations on the girlfriend, Sasuke, have fun,

Your sensei

"He is nice," I mumbled to myself.

I brought out two cups. They had Uchiha symbols on them, one blue, and the other black. I chose the black one. I would usually choose the lighter color, but it was time for a change, right?

"Mmm…" I inhaled the warm aroma of the green tea. I usually liked mine filled with sugar and honey, but this time I thought I'd take it natural.

Sasuke entered the room with dripping wet hair, "What's that?"

I pulled out his cup of warm green tea, "Green tea, you want any?"

He put his wet clothes next to the window and sat near me, "Hn."

"So…we're going to g-get a new house tomorrow, right? Orochimaru-sama said he would BUILD us a new condominium! It'll take a while though." I sighed crawling over to my futon. I looked at Sasuke's, his looked old.

"I don't trust that snake, he's been acting strange around us lately. He's too nice." He closed his eyes sipping his tea once more.

I smiled, "You're getting too nice too."

"What do you mean?" he responded, curiosity in his voice.

I giggled myself to sleep.

My new… I don't know what to call him. It's a weird relationship. I mean sometimes he can be so expressive other times all he can say is 'Hn'.

'Cause every time we touch,
I get this feeling
every time we kiss,
I swear I can fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast,
I want this to last,
Need you by my side

(hmfan24- I got this dream decoder book for Christmas, its awesome! Tell ya next time!)

Honey was leaking into a calm river getting more rapid as it went on, where fish swam. The huge moon shone in the background with its light radiating upon the path I was taking. It seemed dark and crows could be heard. At the end of the road a sun was there, and beneath the sun was a greenhouse within the foggy air. Inside, I saw Sasuke he was feeding an apple to a fox, but before I could get closer to him the ground shook and we both fell through a hole in the ground.
