They had to work on a new project in first period. Iruka Sensei chose partners this time. Hinata wasn't paying attention. She kept thinking about her dream. She could remember most of it. She blushed whenever she thought about Sasuke.
"Hinata!" Iruka Sensei snapped.
"Y-Yes!" Hinata woke up.
"You're with Sasuke." Iruka Sensei said.
Hinata looked around and noticed her cousin was already with his partner. Sasuke came and sat next to her. Hinata stared at him. She thought of her dream and blushed.
"What?" Sasuke said. He turned to look at her, but Hinata looked away. He found this suspicious.
"Uh…" Hinata looked at the paper before her. "I'm sorry, but could you explain the p-project to me. I-I wasn't paying attention."
Sasuke found this odd. Hinata always paid attention. "Were you distracted?"
Hinata glanced at him and nodded.
"Okay." Sasuke thought she was acting weird.
"Class. I want an outline by the end of the period." Iruka Sensei announced.
"So, looks like we're partners."
"I guess so." Mitsuki smiled.
Shikamaru smiled.
Mitsuki looked down. She could feel glares on her again. She wasn't even sitting next to Sasuke this time. "Shikamaru, do you have uh, fans? Or people who like you?"
"What?" Shikamaru looked around and sighed as he noticed who was glaring at her. "Sorry. It's…" He sighed again. "Just try to ignore it."
"Okay." Mitsuki felt the pressure.
"Keep it down!" Iruka Sensei warned.
"I'm so jealous. Neji."
Neji rolled his eyes.
"Seriously. I want my hair to be as long as yours again. My hair isn't growing fast enough."
"Maybe you should stop cutting it then, Ino."
"Well, I can't help it, I keep getting split ends." Ino touched Neji's hair. "Hey, what kind of shampoo do you use?"
Neji was getting irritated.
"No, I mean conditioner." Neji stood up as Ino laughed. "No, no, okay I'm sorry. I'm serious now."
Neji looked at her and sat down.
"So seriously, your shampoo?"
Neji groaned.
Iruka Sensei glanced at everyone, making sure they were working.
"Are you okay, Sakura?" Kiba asked.
Sakura was irritated that she didn't get Sasuke as her partner. "I'm fine."
"Oh, you're mad because you didn't get Sasuke as your partner. Geez, you guys are together what more do you want?"
"I want to be near him."
"It's not like he left the room. Why don't you just put a leash on him?"
Sakura's anger ignited. She grabbed Kiba by the collar. "Why don't I put a leash on you, huh dog boy?"
Lee tried to keep her off of Kiba. "Calm down, Sakura."
Ten-Ten and Naruto laughed.
They worked on their project quietly, well tried to anyway. Sakura and Kiba kept fighting while Mitsuki and Shikamaru were getting along just fine. Neji was annoyed at Ino's pointless talking. Hinata was feeling more and more uncomfortable about Sasuke. She didn't know what to do with the dream. She wanted to confirm it. But she didn't want to seem weird, even though Sasuke was already thinking she was acting weird. Hinata wanted to ask so badly because she thought that maybe it was a memory from when she first met Mitsuki.
"U-Uh… S-Sasuke?" Hinata gulped.
Sasuke looked at her. "What?"
Hinata flinched at the seriousness of his voice. She avoided his gaze. It scared her again. She was feeling everything she felt from her dream or memory, what ever it was. "U-Um…"
"Are you okay, Hinata?" Sasuke looked at her, not trying to scare her.
"Y-Yes." Hinata was trembling now.
"Hinata you're trembling. Your face is really red too." He was about to touch her forehead, but then Hinata panicked and moved away. She stumbled back on her chair, and fell on the floor. Some students laughed.
"Hinata-sama?" Neji walked over to her. "Are you okay?"
Hinata felt really embarrassed and just wanted to leave.
"Do you need to go to the nurse's office, Hinata?" Iruka Sensei asked.
Hinata jumped at the chance to leave. "Yes!" She stood up and ran out.
"Uh… she needs a pass." Iruka Sensei said.
"I'll give it to her." Neji said glaring at Sasuke.
"I didn't do anything." Sasuke said.
"Here. Make sure she's alright." Iruka Sensei sighed.
Mitsuki watched Neji leave. Mitsuki was curious about what happened.
Sasuke sighed again. "I don't know what's wrong with her."
-.-
"Hinata-sama!" Neji ran to her. Hinata was sitting in the stairwell, crying. "Are you alright? Sasuke did something to you, didn't he?"
"No!" Hinata sniffed. "No… I'm just getting emotional again." Hinata wiped her tears as Neji sat next to her. "I was just embarrassed."
"How'd you fall?"
"I was surprised and just jumped back on reflex. Not very good though." Hinata sighed. "Sorry Neji-nii-san. I'm causing trouble for you again."
"It's okay. It's my job to take care of you." Neji sighed as she hugged him. Neji use to blush at this gesture, but he was use to it now. He just waited until she was done like he usually does.
-.-
Hinata and Neji were the last to arrive to the table.
"You alright, Hinata?" Mitsuki asked as Hinata sat next to her.
"Yes." Hinata smiled at Neji. "Oh hi Ino."
"Hey." Ino smiled.
"So what did you do to Hinata?" Shikamaru asked.
"Nothing." Sasuke said sternly, he was sick and tired of being asked that.
"He's right." Hinata didn't look at Sasuke. "I just overreacted." Hinata weakly laughed.
You can tell people weren't buying it.
"So, Sasuke?"
Sasuke looked at Hinata.
Hniata tried to hold his gaze. "Uh, wanna walk to class together?"
Some people started other conversations, so not to put Hinata on the spot.
"Sure."
Sakura tried to keep her anger down. It was only Hinata after all.
Everyone scattered as the bell rang. Neji went ahead, not too far, but enough to be out of ear shot. Sasuke waited for Hinata to throw her food away. Hinata did so and ran to him. They walked to an empty area. Neji waited nearby, but again, out of ear shot.
"Um…" Hinata didn't know how to say it.
"Hinata, if you have something to say, just say it." Sasuke sighed.
"R-right." Hinata swallowed. "I uh… I-I had a dream about you."
Sasuke was a little surprised at this, but then was intrigued.
"Well, um… It seemed more like a memory. Because… Mitsuki-chan was there too. I think it was before she left." Hinata was fidgeting and staring at the ground.
"So?"
"So I was wondering if you remember…" Hinata was turning red. "You remember… c-comforting me… a-at the training grounds…" Hinata was really red now.
Sasuke couldn't help but smile at her embarrassment. "No. I don't."
"O-Oh…" Hinata still didn't look at him.
"You were embarrassed because you dreamt about me?"
"Y-Yes… I believe it was the f-first time I called you… Sasuke-kun." Hinata didn't dare look up.
Sasuke blushed a little at this. He then bended down so he was looking at her face. "Hinata?"
Hinata peeked up, but then jumped back because his face was so close to hers. "Y-Yes?"
"You don't have to be embarrassed." Sasuke smiled. He was enjoying this. He was actually enjoying this. He liked teasing Hinata. He moved closer to her. "We're friends, right?"
Hinata swallowed. She couldn't speak. His face was so close to hers. She just nodded.
"Good." He moved his mouth close to her ear. "We'll keep this a secret, okay?"
His voice tickled her ear. Hinata couldn't be any more redder.
"You don't want to make Sakura or Naruto worried, do you?" He was totally manipulating her.
Hinata shook her head. She just now, thought about Naruto. She was now considering his feelings. Oh no. I should've told him first. Would if he thinks of the wrong thing? She thought.
"So it's our little secret, right?" He looked at her in the eyes.
Hinata averted his stare, but then he made her look at her.
"Right?"
Hinata found her voice. "Y-yes." She whispered.
"Good." He said then walked away.
Hinata was just standing there until Sasuke disappeared around the corner. She slumped to her knees. Her face as red as a cherry. She felt hot. She took deep breaths.
"Hinata-sama?" Neji came forward. He noticed that she was pink. Her redness faded by now. "Are you okay?"
Hinata didn't look up, she just nodded.
"Come on, we're going to be late."
"R-Right."
-.-
It was after school in the auditorium. LunaMismawas practicing. Hinata, Neji, Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, and Mitsuki were there to see. Well all their fan girls were there too, but they were standing outside, peeking through the windows. It was suppose to be private, but oh well.
Hinata was a little flushed from lunch, but she tried to get over it. She didn't look at Sasuke, only at Naruto and Kiba.
"Are you okay, Hinata?" Mitsuki asked.
"Yes." Hinata smiled.
"Hey." Shikamaru whispered in Mitsuki's ear. "Wanna do something tomorrow?"
Mitsuki look at Shikamaru. "Are you asking me out on a date, Shikamaru?" She smiled.
Shikamaru smiled. "No. I'm asking you to an outing, we eat together, go for a walk, and if we happen to kiss afterward" He smiled.
Mitsuki blushed, but smiled. "I would love to."
He smiled back at her.
Everyone else didn't hear this because the band was playing so loud.
"Okay." Sasuke said, taking breaths. "One more." He said. Hinata glanced at Sasuke and Sasuke caught her eye. He smiled at her. Hinata turned her head. No one else seemed to see this.
The music began, starting with the guitar. Hinata didn't recognize the song until the lyrics stared. She blushed again. Knowing, Sasuke was doing it on purpose.
"I'll keep you my dirty little secret"
Hinata turned red again.
Sasuke couldn't help but smile at her. He just thought it was funny.
"Are you okay, Hinata-sama?" Neji asked.
"Y-Yes. Uh…" She heard those words again.
"I'll keep you my dirty little secret."
"Let's go." She stood up and waved bye to everyone. She practically ran out. Neji chased her.
The song ended and Sasuke walked off stage. "Sakura, I'm going to use the bathroom. Then we'll leave. Good practice guys." He ran off. When he was in the bathroom he chuckled to himself. He laughed picturing Hinata's face.
"Can I walk you home?" Shikamaru asked.
"Su-" Mitsuki was interrupted.
"Mitsuki!" Sakura put her arm around Mitsuki's shoulders. "Why don't you come with us?"
"Huh?" Mitsuki looked at Sakura.
"Yea. We should hang out. You, me, Ino, Hinata and Ten-Ten. Let's have a girl's night out. What do you say?"
Shikamaru narrowed his eyes. Naruto and Kiba thought it was suspicious too.
"Um… Okay." Mitsuki weakly smiled.
"Great." Sakura looked at Naruto. "Tell Sasuke for me." She grabbed Ino's hand. "Let's go." She pulled Ino and Mitsuki out.
"Odd." Shikamaru said.
"Very." Kiba agreed.
-.-
"Hinata-sama?" Neji asked as they stopped running a little ways from the school. They were at a park with a fountain. She sat at the rim of the fountain. "What's going on?"
Hinata took deep breaths. He did that on purpose. He was teasing me. Hinata thought. "Nothing. I'm fine. I just really want to go home." Hinata started walking again.
Neji grabbed her arm. "Hinata-sama, I can tell when you're lying."
Hinata looked at Neji. "It's nothing." Hinata snatched her arm away. They were both a little surprised she was able to keep lying.
Neji sighed. "Fine. You don't have to tell me, but please… be careful." He said.
Hinata smiled. Her cousin, worrying about her made her feel better. "Yes."
"Hinata!"
Hinata and Neji turned and saw Sakura running toward her.
"Let's go. We're going shopping." Sakura looked at Neji. "Tell her father." She dragged Hinata away.
Neji just left it alone, figuring that a little fun would help her.
-.-
They went shopping in Downtown Konoha. They went to all the stores, saw a couple of movies, and ate at different places. Mitsuki got to know everyone better. She was happy. She was exhausted when she got home though. She did a little of her homework, but ended up falling asleep.
The next day was fun. Although Mitsuki fell asleep in most of her periods, she was excited because she was going on her first date after the rally. The rally was after her last period this time, so everyone can just go home after. Hinata however, was having a terrible day. All day, Sasuke kept teasing her and reminding her that she was his "dirty little secret". Hinata tried to make it through the day, but she couldn't concentrate at all. She blamed the dream for the rest of the day. She was relieved when it was the rally. She just had to make it through that and then she was free.
Luna Mismatook the stage as everyone cheered.
"We love you!" The fangirls screamed.
"One two three four."
"Hey"
"Must everything you do, make me want to smile"
"When you kiss my lips, all of a sudden I forget, that I was upset"
"You know exactly how to touch, so that I don't want to force to fight no more"
Mitsuki smiled at his singing. She got use to it now. It still made her giggle a little, but it was mostly gone now. Mitsuki was enjoying it while Hinata tried not to listen. Their music had the power to make almost anyone love it. She looked at each band member. She couldn't help but follow each song.
"Too late to apologize"
"Take a shot for you"
"I loved you with the fire red, but now it's turning blue"
"Too late to apologize"
Ino looked away at the song. She had guilt hanging on her shoulders. She was relieved when they moved on to the next song.
Sasuke was sweating a little. "Okay, this is the last one. Too all those pretty girls, this one's for you" He began to sing.
"Something about you baby, drives me crazy, something about this pretty girl, blows my mind, something about you baby, drives me crazy, something about this pretty girl blows my mind"
"Just want to know you a little bit better"
"Something about you, don't what it is"
"Now I'm down on my knees, got you saying I do, so I had to write a song dedicated to you"
All the fan girls screamed, but one stayed quiet and blushed. Sasuke pulled her up by the hand and kissed her full on lips. Everyone gasped as they saw this.
Mitsuki stood up as she saw this. "No. Way."
