Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

A/N: I'm running out of ideas for my fics! Oh dear Kami! (hehe Just a little writer's block for some of them, though, nothing to worry 'bout)


Ch.7 Complications

Hinata was rushing to the door. She sent the phone flying and it crashed on the other wall.

"Hinata. HINATA!" Naruto yelled on the other side of the phone.

Hinata opened the door, and looked up. "Uchiha-san??" What is he DOING here?

"Are you busy?" he greeted her politely.

Hinata was suspicious. "No..."

"Since there'll be a party coming up, do you want to come with me??" He asked elegantly.

Oh Kami. Not the party again. Hinata flashed a fake smile. "Sorry, Sasuke-san, but someone already asked me to be his date." Suddenly, Hinata's hand flashed up to her head.

"OH DEAR KAMI!! I forgot Naruto's on the phone!" She tripped over the pieces of paper she had scattered earlier.

Naruto? I bet Sakura's behind this. Hey! Hinata didn't even stutter that time. The Uchiha smirked.

"Naruto? Are you there?" Hinata was frantic. The phone line was dead.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke immediately sensed something in the Hyuuga.

Hinata looked at his shoulder. "He hung up."

Sasuke slowly went up to her. "So, you can come with me tonight?"

What choice do I have? If I want to make more friends, I have to get out more. Sighing, Hinata nodded.

"Great! I'll see you at seven." The Uchiha closed her door, smirking to himself.

Sakura walked up to Naruto. He was leaning against a wall in Sakura's apartment.

"What's up, Naru-chan?"

"WILL YOU QUIT IT!"

Technically, Sakura was a distant relative of Naruto, but that didn't stop him from having a little crush on her in grade school. But, it was a bit too awkward to have a crush on her now, as there was a lot of guys who adored her.

"So-o. What did the Hyuuga say?" she teased him.

Naruto stared back at her glumly. "She hung up on me. She threw the phone to a wall."

"And how do you know THAT?"

"Because I heard a huge smack on the other end, baka." Naruto folded his arms, grumbling. The Uzumaki was rarely turned down when he went on dates. Sakura felt pity for the teen.

"Oh, Naruto. Sumimasen. I didn't want you to get hurt. I just thought that she liked you."

"Whatever, I'm gonna help myself to some ramen." muttered Naruto, leaving Sakura in the middle of the living room.

Hinata was so busy getting ready that she took no notice of her family. Hanabi was alone in her bubble, listening to music, and Neji, well he was going over the latest style in Gentle Fist Martial Arts.

"Hinata." Neji said. Hinata was busy making the house look more like a home, in between cooking dinner for them and getting ready for the party.

"Hinata." Neji projected his voice a bit louder. Still the Hyuuga beauty took no notice.

Neji abandoned that approach, and stopped her in her tracks, before she hit the other wall in her haste to take her rollers off.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"G-gomen, Neji-nii-san. I just need to get ready."

"Ready for what, Hinata?" Oh dear, I forgot to tel Neji-san.

Hinata flashed a brilliant smile, which clearly didn't please Neji. "What's going on, Hinata?" he growled.

"W-w-ell, there's a party on the second floor of the building, and I'm invited."

"What? Do you know anyone in there?"

"Yeah. I know Sasuke-san, Shika-san, Kiba-san, Naruto-san, Deidara-san,-"

"All guys." Her cousin's eyes narrowed.

Do I really know so many guys? Hinata was biting her lip.

"Please?" the Hyuuga heiress gave puppy dog eyes at Neji.

Neji snorted. "Oh, all right. But if anyone hits on you, I will PUMMEL them to death, bury their bodies in a ditch near Fransisco, and when I go to heaven, I'll keep on-"

His rant was stopped by Hinata hugging him tightly. Neji turned pink. He patted her head awkwardly.

"Go then. Have fun." Hinata waved, took her bag and looked at herself in the bedroom mirror.

Neji noticed that one of her rollers was still on. "Hang on, Hinata, there's something in your hair."

Stooping over to take it out, Neji caught a whiff of her shampoo. Oh kami. Her hair smells so good, no teenage boy will think twice if he hits on her.

"Be careful, Hinata. Your otou-sama will be on my case if anything happens to you!"

"Of course, Neji-nii-san. Thanks for being here for me." She grabbed her bag and headed out the door.

As soon as Hinata got out of the house, Hanabi looked up from the iPod. "What'd I miss?"

Neji rolled his eyes.

"Hinata! Glad you came!" yelped Kiba as he took Hinata by the hand to the party. She forgot to ask Sasuke where to meet him, so she just went to the party to meet him.

And there, soon enough, was Sasuke. He was wearing a black shirt with a red tie, and black skinnies.(haha skinnies) He went up and took her by the hand.

"Thank you, Hinata-san." He whispered in her ear.

She smiled. "I have nothing to do on Friday nights anyways." she replied mischievously.

Just then Sakura came in the party, followed by Naruto. She immediately looked around.

And saw Hinata whispering in Sasuke's ear.

That Hyuuga's going DOWN! Sakura glared.
