As Sasuke jumped on the rooftops, he couldn't help but think about the Hyuga heiress. She was the only person that he truly felt comfortable around. She treated him like an equal. He wasn't the sole survuvor of the powerful Uchiha clan or the missing-nin, all he was to her was Sasuke Uchiha, a fellow shinobi and friend. That meant a lot to him.
This did not mean he didn't have others he cared about, like Naruto and Sakura. It's just, their relationship is different. Sakura has always treated him like some short of god. Putting him on a pedestal like a lot of the other fangirls, but unlike them she never grew out of her obsession. Sure they were friends but he could still tell she had some fangirl in her.
And he did cherish his relationship with Naruto, though he would never admit it. Naruto too had put him on a pedestal. Always challenging him to competitions for no real reason. Naruto considered him his rival and he understood that. But sometimes Sasuke just wanted to be treated no different then anyone else. Hinata seemed to be the only person to do it.
But as Sasuke thought about it more, he realized that Hinata did that with everyone she knew. She treated the branch members of her family the same as those of the head. She treated the commoners the same as people in clans, She treated the villagers the same as she did the ninja. She treated Naruto the same as everyone else, even with the village calling him a demon. She even went on to develop a long time crush on his teammate.
Not that Naruto ever noticed. He swears that even if Hinata gave up her life to protect Naruto and confess to him her feelings, he still wouldn't realize it. (Haha anyone realize the reference?) That was the dobe for you. Sasuke gave him that name for a reason.
The more Sasuke thought about Hinata and her dating Naruto, the more Sasuke seem to get jealous. Which greatly surprised him, he had never been a jealous type when it came to girls. Ever since he was a kid he has had is pick of girls. They practically threw themselves at him. Expect Hinata, who always had her eyes on Naruto.
"SASUKE!"
Sasuke's train of thought came to a stop and his jumping. He looked down and saw Naruto and Sakura standing down below. He jumped and landed right in front of them.
"What do you want?"
"We saw you and were wondering if you wanted to join us for lunch?" Sakura asked with a slight blush that did not go unnoticed by her two teammates.
"I'm good. I had lunch already."
"Really? Where did you go?" Naruto asked.
"The Hyuga Compound."
"What were you doing over there?" Sakura asked.
"Hinata and I trained and then hand lunch at her place."
"WHAT!" Naruto and Sakura sweat dropped.
"You heard me."
"How come you are training with Hinata all the time now?" Naruto asked.
"Because she asks."
"I ask you too and you usually say no."
"That's because I have trained with you since we were kids and it gets boring beating you all the time. I need an actual challenge."
"Hmph, like Hinata would be an actual challenge." Sakura pouted.
Both the boys gave her a slight glare.
"Sakura don't talk about Hinata like that. I trained with her yesterday and she is actually really strong." Naruto defended.
"Yes she is. She is on her way to becoming quite strong. She may even reach my level on day." Sasuke calmly said although there was the slightest trace of edge in his voice.
"I highly doubt that." Sakura once again huffed.
"Well let me put it this way for you….we have battled multiple times together, and I may not have my sharingan right now, but I have yet to beat her."
At hearing that Sasuke could not beat Hinata both Naruto and Sakura sweat dropped again. They both knew their teammate's strength, even without his kekkei genkai.
Naruto then tapped his finger on his chin. "Actually when we spared, I couldn't beat her either. And she had told us that she had spared with you earlier in the morning."
"Wow, I never knew Hinata was so strong." Sakura admitted, now embarrassed.
"If you took the time to get to know Hinata, then you might have realized it sooner." Sasuke snapped. Which shocked Team 7.
"Wow Sasuke, I never knew you and Hinata were such good friends." Naruto said.
"Hn."
"Well even though you ate, you should still come hang with us. Kakashi-sensai and Sai are meeting us at the BBQ place." Naruto persisted.
"Fine."
Naruto pumped his fist into the air in victory. Sakura just walked on with an look of depression on her face.
Sorry this one is short. I'll try to make the next one longer
