Sorry I took so long hehe!! Thanks to those who reviewed I was so happy trust me my sister is still laughin at me anyways in joy oh and feel free to ask questions

3. Why can't I

What was she still doing her? If he could make a run for it he would. She could just get up quietly and these nimrods wouldn't even notice, so what kept her here? Sasuke wasn't even sure who she was went he first saw her. Even after Naruto said her name he didn't remember where he knew her. It was kind of shameful. He didn't remember one of the only girls that didn't follow behind him like a chick to its mother.

He found himself wishing Tenten were still in town and not on a mission. Like Hinata, she did follow him around, she was more mature than that. She's the only person he really talks to other than Naruto. They spend a lot of talking about new weapons both legal and illegal. She's now the master of weaponry for the village, she makes sure there is enough in stock and keeps up with the technological advancements. He admired her strong character.

"Earth to Sasuke, are you listening to me?" Sakura inquired.

'Tenten wouldn't do that' Sasuke thought, feeling annoyed "No"

"Oh, umm well, thanks for being honest." she smiled brightly.

Is it impossible to dampen her spirits? What part of "Leave me alone, you're annoying." and "No, I don't want you" didn't she understand? Unfortunately, Sakura was a Sasuke stalker for life.

Sasuke lost quite a few stalkers when he came back. It was either "Can't be seen with a traitor, my dad would kill me." or the most common reason. Fear. No one knew what had happened to him or what he was doing, that's how he liked it.

Sakura continued to babble on about something and Sasuke continued to stare at this other girl that didn't even notice him. Her hair was longer than it had been when he last saw her. It was all brushed back behind her head, showing her perfectly shaped oval face. Her dimples pleasantly placed on her face.

He didn't understand how she didn't notice him looking at her so intensely. Every other girl had 'Sasuke radar', if his eyes past their way, screams of "He was looking at me!" could be heard seconds after. This girl did not see him at all and he was bluntly looking her in the face. What the hell was she looking at? Maybe she was just trying to block out Sakura and Naruto? He was going find out what she was looking at. There was the possibility that he wasn't used to not being in the lime light but he wasn't going to admit that, not even to himself.

"Sasuke pay attention, Naruto said he's trying to get Tsunade-sama to give you mission so you wouldn't have to say here all the time." Sakura yelled.

She was leaned forward, not so that he would pay attention, she knew he wasn't going to, she just wanted to block his view of Hinata. Sasuke just couldn't decipher why she was so oblivious to her surroundings.

"Naruto-kun, that's your sixth bowl. Are you not full?" She asked sweetly.

"Gees Naruto! You're such a pig, I feel sorry for whoever will be your wife."

Naruto-kun, it hit him like a ton of bricks, just that way she said his name. That's what kept her busy. She had a crush on an idiot. Poor girl, She doesn't know what's good for her. Sasuke felt the need to smirk. Naruto, with a woman? Its not like Naruto was gay, but finding someone crazy enough to go out with him is a once in lifetime opportunity.

"Oh, Hinata. Ino and I have come up with a solution to your little problem."

"Really!!" the excitement danced across her face. Happy wasn't the word, she was ecstatic. Her face was so red, it couldn't be healthy.

"What's wrong Hinata-chan? Are you sick?" Naruto asked concerned "I can bring you to the doctor if you want?"

"There's no cure for stupidity." Sasuke thought out loud. Naruto is an idiot everyone else could see that he was the problem. She likes you, you fool! Sasuke shouted in his mind.

Hinata was shocked. He just called her stupid. Sasuke called her stupid. He didn't even know what the problem was. She didn't know how to feel. No one was ever this rude to her. Not even her father, he was stern, but never rude. Most people just ignored her existence. She wasn't quiet sure what hurt her more, being ridiculed or being ignored all together

"Sasuke!" Sakura shouted he was so rude to Hinata Hyuuga of all people.

"There's no cure for your problem Sasuke-kun." It was an accident she hadn't intended for what she thing to leak out of her mouth like that. It was word vomit.

Sasuke glared daggers at Hinata that made her shiver. "What is my problem, Hinata?"

"y..yo..you" she didn't have an answer. She hadn't even processed what had taken place yet. Sasuke's face was dark, dark like his eyes. She could feel his murderous intent crawl up her spine. His face-hardend, he looked scarier than he's ever been. His pale skin and black eyes looked like less of a contrast because he was so heated. His body language was still very indifferent but his face betrayed him and displayed how he really felt about at this moment.

"yo..you what Hinata?" Hinata, Naruto and Sakura's mouth hung open. Did he jus make fun of her speak impediment? He wasn't a meanie, he was a jerk.

"SASUKE YOU JERK!" Naruto yelled, "Apologize to Hinata."

"Hell NO! I didn't to anything"

"You started it Sasuke." Sakura reminded him.

"I did no such thing."

"Yes you did and this is the second time today you were rude to Hinata –chan. APOLOGIZE NOW DAMN IT" Naruto demanded.

Sakura and Naruto rose to defend her, as usual some one always defended her, why was she such a wimp? Couldn't she stand up for herself? She had good friends that were always there for her but that was the problem, she never had to do anything herself. So when she tried she would chicken out. She really didn't need to be here anymore, everyone was engaged in a fight she couldn't take part in.

Sasuke just wanted these fools to shut up, she's the one who opened her big mouth, so why couldn't he shut it up for her? This was between himself and that stupid spoiled Hyuuga, not annoying forehead girl and the village idiot. Where is she anyways?

"Sasuke-kun are you listening?" Sakura questioned.

"For the hundredth time, NO I don't listen to you ever. Where is that Hyuuga-san?"

"What? Hinata-Chan?" Naruto looked left and right "Where'd she go?"

Yamanaka's Flower Shop, Hinata knew it wasn't nice to play favorites but she did prefer Ino to Sakura. She could talk to her about anything and trust her not to tell Sakura if she asked her not to. She listened to her no matter how stupid Hinata thought she was being. Yes, she could safely say that Ino was her closest friend.

"Welcome to Yamanaka's Flower shop what can I do for you?" Ino's voice was warm and inviting whether she was working or not. "Hinata-chan ...what's wrong?"

"Today was horrible Ino."

"What happened do you need me to rough someone up?" Ino's blond hair was straight as a board and yet still had volume. She didn't have to try hard to look good. Her over priced clothes did so much for her. She suffered for the same illness Hinata had, too much hip syndrome nothing a straight skirt couldn't fix. The purple shirt showed her mid riffed. That accented her coke bottle shape.

Hinata shook her head no answering her previous question. "Sakura-Chan and Naruto-kun are doing that for me again"

Ino frowned she knew her friend had a being saved issue imposed on her by her father. He always scolded her for being to reliant on others but now she wouldn't except help from anyone. She mistakes common curtsy for leniency.

"I met Naruto on the street and he asked if I wanted to go for ramen with him."

"That's good" Ino found being as positive as possible was the best thing to do when Hinata got like, this she doesn't get like this often, so whenever it happened she could stay in that state for days if not handled properly.

"Yeah, that's what I thought too, until Sasuke called me a bitch."

"What?"

"Then he called me stupid," she sighed and let her tears go she had too. "I don't understand what I did to make him hate me so much."

"Hinata."

"I've never been so embarrassed in my life!"

Hinata started telling about what happened before Sasuke called her stupid. When she got to the end, she broke down into tears, not because her day was terrible but because once again someone else saved her. It made her feel more useless than she already did. Sometimes she thought her father was right about her, she can't do anything.

"Hinata it's not like you to get worked up about something as trivial as this"

"It's not just Sasuke it's everything, stupid dreams, and my father and the elders had a serious conversation a few days ago, they want to denounce me!"

"…" Ino wasn't ready for that one, this wasn't part of the normal rant, she had NEVER mentioned this to her before. "Sorry I just …What?" stupid thing to say, normally if it was anyone but Hinata she would say its ok, they wouldn't dare, their family, they love you. But growing up with the Hyuuga's made innocent Hinata allergic to bull shit. The Hyuuga clan would dare. There very concerned with the future of there clan more so than the people in it.

"Ino why can't …why can't I?" she said between sobs

"Hinata," she felt so sorry for her, Sasuke had no right to be so mean to her and that dream didn't help either. "It's alright."

"No it's not Ino, why can't I do anything right?"

"You can."

"No I can't." Her eyes were heavy and blinded by tears, she couldn't go home, not now, not like this. "Why can't I defend myself?"

hope you liked it hehe
