Out in the open
"Hinata" Naruto called, watching as the shy girl blushed as she nervously turned to her long time crush.
"Nar...aru...ruto" She stammered and Naruto smiled at her making her go red.
"I wanted to ask you something"
"What?" Hinata asked, gulping slightly.
"Well um" Naruto began.
"Yes?"
"Well argh willyougooutwithme"
"Um I didn't catch that?"
"Will you go out with me" Naruto repeated, finding his feet extremely interesting. Hinata went a very bright red and started breathing heavily.
"Um um"
"Its ok, I understand" Naruto told her gently, looking at the ground as he turned away.
"Naruto"
"Yes"
"That would be nice" Hinata breathed, daring to believe it. Naruto jumped for joy and pecked her on the lips.
"Yay, thank you so much Hinata ill see you in cooking" he cried as he ran away. Hinata stood their stunned as he heart went a million miles a minute.
Naruto ran into home group to where Sasuke was sitting with his eyes closed and Sakura was gazing on the handsome young boy.
"She said yes" he shouted and Sakura swung around and raised her fist.
"Go you" she cheered. She looked around to see Tenten sitting next to Neji, both were hand in hand while Ino complained to Shikamaru while he patiently listened to her.
"Hinata" Naruto shouted as the girl entered the class room.
"Come sit by me" he called out and the girl blushed as she made her way over, smiling happily as she took her place next to his and began talking to him. Sakura sighed and Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"What?"
"Huh"
"What's wrong?" he asked, though his tone lacked any emotion and his eyes were still closed.
"Don't worry it's nothing" she mumbled and he sighed.
"It is"
"Don't worry about it"
"I wouldn't ask if I didn't want to know" he told her and she smiled to herself.
"Do you think I will ever find someone" she asked.
"Hn"
"See" she muttered.
"That means what the hell" Sasuke translated, smirking at her as she frowned in return.
"Well Neji and Tenten have each other, Naruto's found Hinata and if Ino ever realizes then her and Shikamaru will be together" she explained.
"Hn"
"I was just wondering if I will ever have someone for me" She said and he frowned. He was confused because the idea of Sakura kissing another guy seemed to stir a certain jealousy rage in him. He noticed that Sakura was eyeing him strangely and decided to do his best to comfort her.
"You will" he told her. "One day you will find someone"
"You think"
"I know, you're intelligent and attractive enough. I'm sure you will find someone"
"Maybe" she murmured as inside her heart fell. He wasn't interested in her and will never be. Then something struck home. He had called her attractive, and he had comforted her. Maybe in his weird way he did like her. None the less she wasn't giving up. Not just yet anyway.
"Thanks Sasuke-kun"
"Kun" he asked and Sakura smiled.
"What?"
"Hn"
"I like it" she argued, grinning at him.
"Hn"
"Does it annoy you?"
"No"
"So I can continue"
"If you want"
"Ok"
"Hn"
"Class settle" Their teacher roared as the class quieted down. Sakura still smiling to herself happily.
"Hey guys" Naruto whispered.
"Hn"
"Is it ok if I spend today with Hinata?"
"Hn"
"He means yes" Sakura told her as the blonde grinned and turned away. She sighed again, wondering if she will be alone or not. Sasuke who knew her very well by now had an idea what she was thinking.
"Don't worry" he said in a quiet and gentle tone. "You still have me" Sakura smiled back at him.
"Thanks, and you will always have me to"
"Hn"
"Come on" Sakura said happily, pulling at Sasuke's sleeve. "We have maths"
"Joy" he sarcastically added.
"What are you complaining about, you're the best in the class. Unlike me who can't seem to figure it out"
"Ill help"
"What?"
"You"
"Wait huh?"
"Ill help you with your math's if you like" Sasuke offered and Sakura looked at him.
"You will"
"Isn't that what I just said"
"Well yeah but I don't believe it"
"Well hurry up and do already"
"Why are you being so nice today?" She asked.
"Cause"
Cause why?"
"Cause I feel like it"
"Ok" She said a little unsure.
"You're my friend, aren't I allowed to be nice to you every once in awhile" He replied as she smiled.
"I guess"
"Good" he muttered.
"Sasuke"
"Hn"
"Thanks"
"Hn"
"Um" She began not understanding what it meant.
"Your welcome" Sasuke said sighing, as they walked together to maths.

Meanwhile in home group Ino was complaining to her good friend Shikamaru about Tenten abandoning her. He listened patiently and this surprised her.
"Hey Shika"
"Yeah"
"Do you think Sasuke could ever like me"
"No idea, probably not"
"Aww why"
"Because"
"Aren't I good enough for him huh"
"Of course you are but"
"But what?"
"I think he has feelings for that pink haired friend of his"
"You think"
"Yes"
"I think you might be right"
"Troublesome"
"But its so unfair Shika" Ino whined.
"What is"
"Her getting Sasuke when I want him"
"Find someone else"
"Like who"
"Troublesome"
"What it's not like any guys like me, they all find me annoying"
"You are"
"See" Ino cried, wondering why Shikamaru finding her annoying was upsetting her.
"Doesn't mean that people who find you annoying don't like you" he snapped angrily as he walked out the door as the bell went.
"Shika" she whispered, wondering if he meant what she thought he meant and gasping when she realized how much she wanted him to mean it.
