Chapter Seven

Rated S for Stick up his Ass

We all know and love this boy, Pale skin, strong jaw, chased by psycho fan girls, popular, academic prodigy, athletic and-

-a stick up his ass.

But dear readers, the person being described is not Uchiha Sasuke; the king of S's that we have all grown to love. No.

We are describing Neji Hyuuga. Long chocolate locks, pale white eyes with an ice blue hue, a gentleman through and through, loves his one-year-younger-than-him cousin, but most of all; a stick up his ass.

Hanabi had passed out on the couch and Neji had come downstairs to get a midnight snack to keep him awake while studying. He gets Hanabi her blanket and drapes it over her. He wasn't too fond of her but he wasn't heartless –to family.

He spots the latest Weekly Jump in her hands and goes to check Naruto chapter 614.

And upon finishing the chapter, our dear Neji was stupefied.

Why? He had such a huge fanbase! He was very popular amongst the female fans. He was adored for his devotion to Hinata.

Why?

Though, he should have known that he was a likely candidate to die. Once you're very popular and not the main character, you are very likely to die.

Itachi was proof of that.

In his room he goes to YouTube and finds lots of RIP Neji videos. Someone even did a video of him and Hinata to 'Leave out all the rest', by Linkin Park.

When my time comes, Death

Forget the wrong that I've done, Chuunin exams

Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed-

And that's why Neji is banging on Sai's front door at 03:12 am in the morning, in only a light white cotton T-shirt and boxers.

"SAI! HOW DARE YOU FUCKING KILL ME!?"

He had been making a hell of a noise for the past ten minutes and Sai didn't seem to care.

"YOU EMOTIONLESS BASTARD! WHY DIDN'T YOU KILL SAKURA!?"

It was then Sai opened the door wide enough to let Neji see his face, "Because nobody would care."

Neji paused his OOC raving as his mind agreed with Sai's logic.

Sai continued, "At least you went out like a boss." And then he shut the door on our dear Neji Hyuuga.

Neji humphed, straightened his back and walked with the stick that had been momentarily dropped. Well at least one good thing came out of this; his character popularity had tripled.

Back with the guy with the stick up his ass that this story is about, Sasuke was in his room tempted to shove his iPad in places in Itachi's body that iPads cannot fit. He kept on seeing it again and again and freaking again.

SasuHinaIta.

He refuses to call it ItaHinaSasu; that made the Sasu sound like it was a third wheel.

He has been unconsciously giving Itachi glares as he mentally tells himself that that he'll never let Hinata anywhere near his –although he hates to admit it- much more attractive older brother.

This is not a fanfiction. He kept telling himself. Itachi won't come out of nowhere to steal Hinata from me. This is not a fanfiction. This is not a fanfiction. This is not a fanfiction.

It isn't an ItaHinaSasu at least, *wink wink*

And no, that wink did not indicate the slightest possibility of a SasuHinaIta. Don't get your hopes up.

After Itachi feigning ignorance to his otouto's glares for far too long he decides to take action one Saturday afternoon as they sat at the table eating Miso soup and dumplings (courtesy of Itachi's cooking skills) while their parents were out.

"I hope you don't mind my asking otouto but why are you trying to glare my head off?" Itachi said before using his chopsticks to dip the miniature dumpling in the soup before placing it in his mouth.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." He said with an apathetic face and spooned up some soup.

Itachi merely cocked an eyebrow as he sipped at his glass of water. Sasuke's left brow twitched and then he sighed begrudgingly.

"I want you to promise me something, please nii-san."

Itachi was surprised to say the least. He put the glass down. "Ew Sasuke. I'm not in the mood for some bromance."

Sasuke's left eye joined its brow in its twitching. "You should know that it means a lot to me for me to swallow my pride so please nii-san."

"What do you want?"

"I…" he then gave Itachi a solid unwavering stare of determination. "I really like this girl and I don't want her falling for you or want you try to steal her from me."

"Insecure are we?"

"Itachi!" his stare turned into a glare. "I'm being serious. I want you to promise me this."

"Fine fine." He waved his hand dismissively. "I hate seeing you so out of character."

Sasuke just packed up his now empty dishes and walked to the sink. Itachi just leaned into his chair with a smirk on his face. "What even made you think like this? You're usually not this paranoid."

Sasuke wiped his hands with a paper towel, disposed of it and began his way upstairs. "You don't wanna know. Oh, and I'm going to the mall to meet up with Naruto."

Itachi could only ponder on the sudden rise in his otouto's teenage life.

"Come on Hina-chan we'll be late!" Ino shouted while dragging an out of breath Hinata through a crowd struggling to get into a store with a once-in-a-lifetime-not-dumb-enough-to-pass-it-up sale.

"Ino-chan!" Hinata said catching a McDonald's. "Why don't I just wait for you at the food court. I'd only slow you down if I went into that den of savages with you."

Ino let go of Hinata's wrist as she continued to run in to the 'den'. "True, they'd eat you alive in there. I'll snag you some cute tops!" She waved as the queen set out to seek, meet, want, get and destroy. Fashion was a scary thing.

Hinata walked over to the food court and ordered a big mac meal with a large drink (she was sure that she would need to be hydrated to keep up with the blonde).

As she paid for her meal she turned around to come face to chest with a familiar face.

"Hinata-chan! Whatcha doing here?" Kiba asked with a grin on his face. "Aw man, Shino's gonna say we left him out of it again." He said with a grin sort of frown.

Hinata giggled. "I'm sure Shino-kun would understand." She only heard a muttered 'Doubt it' as Kiba moved ahead of her to be attended to.

After they both sat down with their trays of greasy food Kiba picked up from where the conversation left off. "So Hinata-chan you never said what you were doing here." Kiba said while scooping up some fries.

"I'm shopping with Ino."

"Ino? Then don't you mean you're being dragged around while watching her do the shopping? That would probably explain why you're sitting here quietly while I can see Ino strangling a forty year old for a top that the hag should only buy for her daughter."

Hinata turned around and confirmed Kiba's weird tale. True enough, there was Ino in all her blonde glory giving the woman a piece of her self-defence classes. Hinata and Kiba laughed as they saw Ino win the battle and skip over to the clerk in victory.

Ino emerged ten minutes later with four bags full of clothes.

Kiba scoffed. "The Ino Yamanaka walks out of a store with just four bags. Satan needs a blanket cuz hell just froze over."

Ino just smiled. "I have a heart. I couldn't leave Hina-chan alone for too long." She then handed a bag to Hinata. "Size four right? All this is for you." Ino beamed.

Hinata blushed and shook her head. "I-Ino-chan you didn't have to! I c-can't accep-"

Ino shoved it into the dark haired girl's grasp. "You can and you will." Ino's tone left no room for argument.

Hinata nodded warily. "Th-thank you Ino-chan." Ino smiled and led her to the toilet. "Now let's get you changed."

Hinata wanted to sputter out excuses and decline the offer but kept quiet knowing it would only prove useless when it came to Ino.

"Hey!" Kiba shouted. "You're just gonna abandon me?"

Ino looked over her shoulder, "We came without you didn't we? Just be patient." She grinned and then blew him a kiss as she resumed looking straight ahead.

Kiba just stood there with a dazed expression and a blush on his cheeks.

Sasuke stood at the entrance to the male toilet waiting for Naruto. He was musing on how to face Hinata after his –rejected mind you- confession. There was a phrase for this situation:

Sucks ass.

His thoughts were interrupted as Naruto emerged from the bathroom, or when Sasuke thought he emerged. Truth was, Sasuke hadn't noticed Naruto who had been standing there for the past minute due to his wandering thoughts.

His impassive face met Naruto's wide grin. "Soooo teme, who's the girl!?"

Sasuke's face remained the same but on the inside he blanched. He knows that he didn't say anything out loud, he just doesn't do that, or did he without noticing?

"What do you mean dobe?"

"I know all your facial expressions –even scared shitless- except the one when you the one where you think about girls because you never think about girls and I've never seen you make the face you made."

Shit. The dobe was more perceptive than he gave him credit for.

"It's none of your business." He didn't even try to deny it. Naruto's logic was flawless.

"Come on just tell me!" Naruto pouted.

"No."

Naruto huffed and stuffed his hands in his jacket pockets. He had a black jacket on with an orange inner. His blue jeans paired with black sneakers.

Sasuke had a plain navy blue tee and black jeans with navy blue sneakers with red and white streaks. As simple as he was dressed, he still looked damn fine.

"Sasuke-kun! Naruto!"

The boys turned to see Ino waving frantically at them, with Kiba and Hinata beside her.

'Hinata'

Sasuke had to gulp when he saw the object of his affections. She had on white three quarter that were fitting but also loose, a large off shoulder jumper that was white at the neck but dissolved downwards into lavender then purple. Her blackish-navyish-puplish hair trailed behind her in a beautiful curtain. And her dainty little feet looked adorable in those black sandals.

Ino noticed Sasuke's subtle observation of Hinata and gave herself a pat on the back for the cute ensemble she put together.

And then she had an idea.

After all the introductions -and Hinata's awkward one which involved a lot of blushing when she greeted Sasuke and her looking at everywhere but the Uchiha- everyone had scattered. Ino and Kiba running off to the arcade after challenging him to a game of virtual snowboarding.

Naruto had gone off to the videogame store to ogle and pick what he was going to grovel to his parents to get it for him (but not without a knowing wink; really the dobe was too damn perceptive for his own –and Sasuke's- good).

So the dark haired teens were left to wonder around the mall in awkward silence, Hinata stuffing her hands in her pant pockets for the sole reason of not returning to her bad habit of poking her index fingers together and Sasuke's hands in his pockets just because he always did.

They had gotten lemonade from a mobile stand and where now lounging about at the corner of a dress shop and a shoe store.

"Hinata", Sasuke started as he turned to look at her from his side of the bench. "Go out with me." He was never one to beat about the bush.

Hinata turned red and stuttered, "Th-That i-isn't even a q-q-question."

"Do I even need to ask. I like you and no one ever rejects me."

'That. Wasn't. Even. A. Question!?'

The feeling of being flattered and embarrassed was replaced with scorn and rage. Who the hell did he think he was?

Hinata sharply faced him with a scowl marring her soft and beautiful features. "Oh so you expect me to be a girl on your long line of yeses?"

"I've never asked anyone out before. Ever."

Hinata knew this was true because all week Ino had been putting in a good word for Sasuke and how lucky any girl would be to have him.

But the boy she saw before her was a bastard. So she ignored the swelling of her heart at being his first interest.

"How could you be so full of yourself."

Sasuke blinked. His face was impassive but his mind was whirling at the all too obvious impending rejection.

"Well the answer is NO!" She stands up and stomps away.

Sasuke watches her as the girl of his affection walked out on him.

The bad thing about having a stick up your ass is that when it drops all the shit come falling out.

ATTENTION!: There is a pole on my profile about the side couples! kibaIno could still change if overpowered by NaruIno and I'm still a bit unsure about NaruSaku so help me decide.

Reviews are Love :D
