Recap: He glared at me and walked out the door with his suitcase. When he left, I took a deep breath of relief. I really thought he was going to hit me before he left. I started to make breakfast for everyone. I see Neji at the bottom of the stairs and I waited in anticipation for him to reach the kitchen. Once he was in the room, I launched myself into his arms. He wrapped his arms around me and I began to let the tears flow with freedom.

"Six months Neji. I have nothing to worry about for six months." I cried in happiness.

"I know, Hinata. I know." he murmured gratefully.

Wednesday

It's been almost two months since my father left for his trip to France. My body hadn't been screaming in pain and I got to speak to Neji freely. Hanabi usually went out with friends, so I didn't have to worry at home so much. I'm more relieved than I've ever been in years.

"Hinata, let's go we're going to be late." Neji stated.

We got into his car and the ride was silent but pleasant. Neji showed more emotion when my father was away especially when it's a trip. It still scared me to be outspoken, but the fear shied away when I knew he was gone. I just have to be prepared for the hell I knew damn well when he came back.

"We're here. Hinata, is your..boyfriend taking you home today?" Neji gruffly asked.

"I d-don't know Nii-san," I giggled quietly,"I'll see what h-he wants to do okay?"

Neji hmped and I laughed softly. He's so protective which I'm so grateful for. I kissed his cheek and his face turned pink. I smiled and I got out of the car and then I see Sasuke waiting for me at the front doors of the school. Three weeks of being his 'girlfriend' hasn't be very easy for me. Girls left and right are threatening me to break up with him and just leave him be. I'm not exactly being with him on my own accord.

As I got closer to him, I felt a heated stare directed to me. It's Sakura and her posse of friends. She glared at me with so much rage that I wanted to hide myself from everyone. Sasuke looked at me with confusion and I couldn't look at him in the eyes. I stopped right in front of him and he touched my cheek. I stared at him in awe.

*Sasuke's POV*

When I looked up, from a distance I saw a true smile on Hinata's face. A genuine, gentle smile that I never knew she could create. I had no clue that she had dimples until today. Her lavender eyes glowed with warmth which made my heart skip a beat and I didn't even understand why. The back of my neck burned and I stared in another direction. I wasn't going to think of that girl any other way. She's just helping me to get rid of the fan-girls for a while.

I watched as her smile faded away in an instant. Her doe-like eyes had a tinge of sadness and I wanted to understand why she changed so quickly. The eyes that once shined with strange beauty turned into pale angst. I stared at her in confusion and she didn't look at me as she shook her head. She was standing right in front of me and I don't know what overcame me. I reached to touch her cheek and she had a look of surprise.

Her face hardened and her body was shaking. I drew back my hand for a second and she still quivered. I softly caressed her face and I watched as she slowly stopped trembling and slowly leaned her face into my hand. Then, her face turned scarlet and if I was some other guy I would've laughed at her actions. I'm not some other guy though. I'm a Uchiha, so I did what an Uchiha would do, I smirked confidently.

Her face that held fright melted away and changed into a look of pure innocence. Something in me screamed to just grab her and not let her go. I listened to it and I pulled her closer to me.

"What? Cat got your tongue?" I joked.

What the hell? I don't joke around with anyone, not even with the dobe. What is going on with me?

She stumbled,"N-no. You just startled me Uchiha-s.. Sasuke-k-kun."

Hinata's body was still rigid, but she relaxed her muscles a bit. She still had a flushed face and I raised my eyebrow at her. I felt stares directed to us and I snapped out of the little bubble we were in. I noticed that we were being watched by so many people and I saw two particular people who were irritated. Well, one of them was seething while the other was trying to control their emotions.

A pink haired girl was furious and a white-eyed boy that goes by the name Neji had his fists clenched. My smirked widened and to push them over the edge I kissed her cheek. I grabbed her hand and walked inside with her.

Had my day been made? Hehe, hell yeah.

*Sakura's POV*

Oh hell no. That worthless mess of a girl is still with Sasuke? I couldn't comprehend how someone like her could even hold the hand of someone like him. It didn't even make sense. Sasuke has to be with me, me! I've known him longer than she has and I've liked him since we were children! No, not liked I've loved him always. I'm rich, smart, nice, and I'm beautiful. Everyone reminded me of it every single day. Why couldn't he take note of that and just be with me? Why did he look at Hinata dammit!?

*Neji's POV*

I wasn't mad at Hinata or the fact of that she's with him. I'm angry because that bastard decided to make it obvious to everyone that she's his. Did he like to put her out on the spotlight? It's as if he knew that all of his fan base is staring at them and he did this purposely. If he didn't want to hurt her, he wouldn't put her out there for everyone to see. Especially when he knows that girls are willing to hurt her to be with him.

*Hinata's POV*

My heart was beating very quickly and loudly. Why did he do something like this to me? He only grabbed my hand and we walked inside together and that's usually it. His eyes were like an endless sea. He kept pulling me in and I never left his surprisingly gentle gaze. He took me to class and I released his hand when I was at the door.

"I'll see you at lunch okay?" Sasuke promised.

He started to walk away from me and I had the courage to finally say something back than just giving him a smile.

"U-um okay. Have a good day Sasuke-san." I accidently slipped out.

He turned back around and he backed me into the lockers next to my first hour. He had a look of irritation, but then he gave me a devious smirk. He grabbed my waist tightly and gave me a smoldering look. I flushed a brilliant pink and I had forgotten the fact he grabbed me so roughly.

"Heh. Everytime, you call me Sasuke-san,"he deeply rumbled,"Or Uchiha-san for that matter. I'm going to either kiss you or hug you. When I kiss you, I'll kiss you in different places until I've reached the most intimate part of your face. And you don't want that or do you?"

I was about to pass out, but I held myself up. I blushed a fierce crimson and I shook my head. He gave me a proud smirk.

"Good. Now since you decided to call me Sasuke-san.." he said seriously.

He's never acted like that before and it honestly sent butterflies through my stomach.

His lips were inches away from my forehead and I felt his warm breath. He kissed my forehead so tenderly which made me blush even harder if that was possible. I forgot how to breathe when I looked into his eyes for a moment. Then, I stared at the ground again to relieve the intense feelings that sparked within me.

"Don't forget to play the part or this won't go well. I'll see you later." he stated quietly.

*3rd Person POV*

Hinata walked in a dazed manner and hadn't noticed that Kakashi had been watching them. Kakashi had a smirk planted on his face. He believed that those two were going to fall deeply in love and they weren't going to be ready for it. Young love wasn't the easiest thing to understand, but not the hardest. Kakashi just smiled and was glad that his student was finally able to smile a bit more easily.

*Hinata's POV*

I sat at my desk and I still couldn't think straight. How could he go from being stoic to playful? After being playful with me, he went to being so unbearably sweet? It confused me greatly, but I shouldn't get attached. When he touched me, I trembled with the fear of his hands being around or even on me. Yet, I reacted differently when we were outside and I didn't have an anxiety attack. I honestly didn't know what to do and it frustrated me.

Actually I knew what I was supposed to do. I wondered why I chose not to do it.

A/N: I have nothing to really explain about this chapter, but I hope you enjoy it.
