~*Authoress' Note*~

Heylo my dears.

I'm sorry that I do not update on my story much.

I'm very busy, or I'm on bebo. I can never seem to finish a story, so this is the furthest I've ever made it into one.

In my own opinion, as I began to read it, I realized how much of a suckish writer I am.

Even though that is my opinion, I have others whom disagree with me.

As it is, I will, slowly, try to finish the story I have started.

I thank you for your support and your will to try to keep up with this.

I appreciate it.

I do NOT own Naruto...

I wish I did...Then I'd join him for ramen!

-------------------

They looked up to see....

Naruto Uzumaki. Who else, of course? Had he seen everything that had happened between the two lovebirds and Neji? Or had he just at that moment arrived? Was it a complete and total coincidence? This was what was running through the heiress' mind. It made her nervous to see him standing there, staring straight at her as if he could see into her soul through her lavender eyes. Hinata dropped her gaze.

Sasuke's jaw clenched in anticipation, thinking almost immediately that the hyper blonde would attack him. He, of course, was one of the few that Naruto like Hinata. But he had never told Nartuo that he like her aswell.

The only thing that ran through Naruto Uzumaki's mind was "Kill, kill, kill" but he, somehow, managed to restrain himself from attacking him. It truly pissed him off that Sasuke and Hinata were now an item.

The sound of another branch cracking snapped Hinata and Sasuke out of their daze, Naruto knew who it was already. She had been following him for the past half an hour. The blonde was beginning to understand how Sasuke felt, and it was bloody annoyed.

Sakura stepped around Naruto, revealing herself to the other two. Ohh how she wanted to jump over and strangle the daylights out of the Hyuuga brat. How DARE she steal Sakura's man?

Sasuke got infront of said brat, seeing the death glare Sakura was giving her. If looks could kill, Hinata would be lying on the forest floor, blood pouring out of her body. Of course, Hinata noticed the look as well and she immediately went back to her oldself; pointer fingers together, her head dropped down as if she were a disappointment to the entire world.

Naruto immediately felt awful for leading Sakura there as he saw the look on her face. His bright blue eyes held a sadness; he only wanted Hinata to be happy, and he was taking that away from her right then. He shook his head and turned around, not daring to say anything. The boy grabbed Sakura's arm and dragged her off, kicking and screaming.

As soon as Sasuke could no longer hear the annoying pink-headed girl's screaching, he turned to Hinata and wrapped his arms around her tightly as if to keep her from falling apart. It must have been hard on her. But it still made him wonder if she still felt something for the ramen lover.

He dared not show that emotion with her right at that point, he was afraid he could very well lose her right then. And it was not a good feeling. Hinata didn't know how long he had actually liked her, for she had always been watching Naruto. She had never noticed him watching her. It was something he always did.

"S-Sasuke..?" Her voice broke.

"Shhh." He whispered to her as she started crying right then and there.

All night, the only thing the Uchiha could do was comfort the girl untill she had cried herself to sleep, which hadn't been until about dawn. He carefully picked the heiress up and began carrying her back to her mansion. When he arrived at the gate, none other than Neji was standing there, waiting for him. Wordlessly, Neji held his arms out for Hinata, and, just as wordlessly, Sasuke gave her to him.

The Hyuuga started to turn away with Hinata, but hesitated. "...Thank you... For bringing her back, Uchiha." With that said, Neji quickly walked into the mansion, leaving Sasuke speechless.

It's a short chapter, but I'm just getting back into it.

Thanks for reading, and I'll try to keep this going.

But my computer has a virus, so it'll have to wait till I get on another computer or it gets fixed.
