Misukage: Hi everyone ^^ It's girl's day here on the set and to day we have Temari and Ino with us to tell us what they think about High School Secrets.

Temari: Hey everyone thanks for coming -waves to the reviewers-

Ino: It's an honor to be on here -smiles-

Misukage: Before we being I would like to apologize to everyone who is/was offended when I brought up the church subject. Hinata came off as a person that would attend and I thought it would be a good element to the story. If you would like to you can skip over it and read the segment that doesn't mention it.

Temari: -pats Misukage's back- That was nice of you.

Ino: Ok let's get started.

Misukage: Ok. Temari what did you think when you found out that would be working with Sasuke's older brother Itachi?

Temari: To be honest I was a little shocked. I knew that our couple had a fan base but you don't really see us brought up as minor couples in stories so when I read our names on the scripted I was surprised and the fact the fans didn't bash us was another surprise. But I'm very grateful that they were welcoming to us and as far as working with Itachi goes well -pauses and thinks- It's really interesting.

Misukage: Ino are you upset that you're not chasing after Sasuke and that you're not really mention in here?

Ino: Are you kidding me? Of course I'm not mad that I'm not mentioned in here. I mean I like working with Hinata and everything else but I love reading the story and being behind the scenes and as far as being mad at chasing Sasuke -points to 9 inch heels- I could break a neck chasing after him in these things.

Misukage: Ok reviewers we'll continue this later right now here's the 10th chapter in High School Secrets. Enjoy.

Chapter 10

Hinata zipped around as her mom and dad set up the finishing touches on the serving area.

Music began playing and Hinata's mother glared at her.

"Go upstairs" her mother ordered and Hinata was more then willing to obey.

Whoever said that her father was mean had never met her mother. Though she and her mother had a good relationship. Lately it had been a little strained and what's more, all of the stuff that her mother was doing lately was driving her nuts.

The big, three bedroom house was getting a little small for her but Hinata was dealing with it. So when her mother suggested that she should leave, she was happy. Sadly though that meant leaving her father with the she-devil.

She sent her father a look of sympathy and her father gave her a solemn nod. She nodded back and ran up the stairs.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

Sasuke opened the door and straightened his tie as he entered into the entry way. He slipped off his outer jacket then took the church bulletin from an elderly woman.

"welcome" she said with a smile.

Sasuke smiled back and nodded then entered into the worship area. Hinata was sitting in the second to the last row with an elderly couple to the left. When he approached the row she turned and smiled then patted the seat next to her.

"You came" she said a little surprised.

He nodded and looked around at the rest of the church. All of the women were dressed in normal church wear while the men were in dress casual.

"I think I'm over dressed" he leaned in and whispered to her.

She giggled and smiled at him "No you're not. Everyone is dressed nice"

He shot her a look "I'm in a suit. Everyone else is in nice shirts, pants and boots"

"So? You're just trying to make a nice impression. You're fine don't worry" she assured him and placed a hand over his.

"It doesn't matter how one dresses in a small town church. The fact that you're here is happiness enough" she gave him "That's a thing about this church. They don't care who you are or what you dress like, they'll accept you for who and what you are with loving arms"

'You mean like you do?' he thought to him self but didn't say it.

He smiled at her then nodded and watched as a few people filed into the pew in front of them. They greeted Hinata and she nodded in return, they looked him over for a few minutes before sitting down. Sasuke wasn't entirely sure what they thought of him but then again he wasn't sure of anything right now.

Music began playing and everyone sat and waited for the service to begin.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hinata and Sasuke rose from their seats and began shaking hands. Hinata saw several members of her church family watch him. She remembered her mother telling her that the congregation would be looking over the boy she invited. Hinata stopped for a moment. Did her church family think that she'd brought Sasuke her for their approval? She shook her head then took him by the arm and led him over to the two people she loved the most there.

"Peace be with you" she said and hugged an old, five foot woman.

"Peace be with you" the woman said back.

Hinata smiled at her and held Sasuke's hand.

"Rin-chan this is my….." she paused not quite sure what to call him.

"I'm Hinata's boyfriend Sasuke Uchiha" he said with a bow.

"Well isn't that nice" Rin said and looked at Hinata "It's odd though, I don't recall Hinata mentioning that she had a boy"

'You and me both' Hinata thought.

"I'm sorry Rin-chan" she said and hung her head

The woman laughed at her and patted her hand warmly.

"You don't need to apologized to me sweetie, I still love you"

"As do I"

Hinata turned and squealed with delight.

"Grandma Kikyo!" she hugged the woman tightly and the other woman hugged in the same manner.

"Hello my honey" she said and broke from her to stare at Sasuke.

"Now what's this I hear about you getting a bou?"

Hinata laughed and smiled at her. If there ever was a real fairy godmother, Kikyo would be it hands down. The old woman carried her self with grace and poise and Hinata always felt happy after a hug from her.

"Grandma Kikyo this is Sasuke, my boyfriend. Sasuke this is my adopted grandmother Kikyo" she said beaming.

When she, her sister and her mother had joined the church, Kikyo had made them feel welcomed and after a year or two Hinata and Hinnabi had some how became adopted grand children.

Sasuke bowed and shook the woman's hand "It's an honor to meet you both" he said and Kikyo nodded.

"I'm glad to see that our Hinata has found some one to show us"

Sasuke bowed again and felt something watching him. He quick glanced around and saw most of the men in the room watching him like hawks.

'Most girls have a protective father and brother, this one has an army of protective farmers that aren't afraid to break out the guns and shovels' he gulped and made a mental note not to anger the males.

Hinata kept her hands around Sasuke's as she led him down to the basement for a coffee break.

Several of the woman 'Ooo'ed' and 'Awed' at the set up her mother. Hinata smiled, feeling proud of her mother.

"Wow" Sasuke said.

"Yeah, my mom's a real perfectionist" she said, slipping back into the kitchen.

Sasuke was about to follow her when something grabbed his shoulder.

"It's Sasuke isn't it?" a gruff/strong voice asked.

'Crap' he thought and tried to keep his fear under lock and key.

"Hinata would it be alright if we borrowed Sasuke for a bit?" the man asked.

'Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes' he chanted in his head.

Hinata shook her head "No go ahead"

He smiled "Don't worry we'll bring him back in one piece" he said.

'Mentally or physical?' Sasuke asked in his head.

The older male head him out into the area in front of the basement doors and closed them.

The men that he seen earlier surrounded him with their arms crossed. There was a taller man in front of him with eyes that reminded him of someone.

"Mr. Hyuuga" Sasuke said in a solemn voice.

"Sasuke Uchiha" he said

Though the man's arms were at his side, Sasuke still felt a little intimidated. This man's presents was a dangerous one.

"So…." Sasuke started trying to keep his cool under the hostile conditions.

"It's nothing serious" Mr. Hyuuga said calmly as he brushed his shirt sleeve "We're just wondering what your intentions towards Hinata were"

Normally Sasuke would have been cocky and told them that his intentions towards her were none of their business, but they way they looked at him warned Sasuke that he wouldn't be found if he did.

"My intentions are honorable sir" he said truthfully.

"Good" the other man said "Hinata is my daughter and a very good girl" the Hyuuga walked up to Sasuke and looked at him straight in the eye.

"She is very precious to me and this church so I advised that you keep this in mind" he leaned in and whispered in Sasuke's ear.

"If you do anything to our little girl you'll have no where to hid"

The man stepped back and another man came forward.

"Hinata has helped out a lot and has always made things interesting and fun" he said.

"Your point?"

"Our point is" the man nodded to the rest of the group "You'll have to deal with more then Hisashi if you hurt her"

Some of the men cracked their knuckles while others continued to glare at him. Sasuke nodded and then the man clapped him on the shoulder warmly.

"Nice to meet you Sasuke" he said and left to join the women.

The rest of the men followed suit scaring Sasuke out of his wits.

'And here I thought that Christians were suppose to be nice' he thought before going back and joining everyone.

Hinata shivered as she walked down the halls.

"Why does the school have to be so cold the day I have to wear short sleeves?" she whispered to herself as she approached her locker.

Once she unlocked it, she placed some books inside that she had gotten from the library. As she stared at the contents of it she eyed her jacket. Though the thought temped her she sighed and closed it then rubbed her arms.

"Cold are we?"

Hinata jumped and spun around.

"Gaara!"

He smiled and walked towards her "I believe I just asked you a question"

Hinata nodded and stopped when she saw Gaara unzip his black ACDC sweat shirt.

"Oh Gaara you don't-"

"Relax" he said and revealed a black Death Note T-shirt with a dark grey long sleeved shirt underneath.

"See? No problem" he smiled and wrapped the sweat shirt around her.

"Well it's a little big but" he leaned down and smiled at her "You'll grow into it" his green eyes danced with sneakiness and Hinata bit her lower lip and smiled.

"Are you sure you'll be alright with out it?" she asked and held out part of the sweat shirt.

He nodded and started down the row then turned around "Besides if this doesn't keep me warm then my red hot temper will"

Hinata giggled at that then pulled her arms threw the sleeves.

Unable to resist, Hinata pulled the collar close to her and sniffed. The jacket smelled like fresh soap, old spice and another scent that she couldn't place.

Yawning, Hinata walked back to class wishing it were a half day so she could go home and sleep.

XXXXXXXXX

Sasuke hummed as he walked to his wielding class.

"Are you ok?" Naruto asked as Sasuke went to grab a wielding mask.

"Yeah why?" he asked

"Dude you're humming" Choji said as he look a bite from his chips before placing them in his pocket.

"Oh" he said as if they had just said something obvious.

"So?" Naruto said and nudged him as Sasuke got ready to light the wielding stick (A/n: Don't know the real name for it)

"Who's the girl?" he asked with a grin.

Sasuke lit the wielding stick and the flame missed Naruto by half and inch.

"Hey!" Naruto shouted and jumped back.

Sasuke lifted the front part of the mask tolook at him then shrugged and went back to do what he was doing.

"Come on. Tell me!" Naruto said and Sasuke turned and almost burned Naruto again.

"Do you want to try that again or has your curiosity satisfied it's self?" he asked and lifted his mask to glare at him.

Naruto grumbled and nodded.

Sasuke didn't say anything and went back to work.

Gaara placed around as an uneasiness settled in him. He looked at the clock then looked outside at the cloudy day.

'Something bad is going to happen' he thought to himself as he watched the clock.

'The question is what?'

XXXXXXXXXXX

As Hinata walked down the hall the bell for the intercom rang.

"Students we are in a lockdown" the speaker on said.

People started rushing into random classrooms. As Hinata walked passed the boy's bathroom when something reached out and grabbed her. She gasped as a hand covered her mouth and pulled her back. She struggled against her attacker until she heard a 'Hinata it's me'

She turned and saw Gaara looking down at her then slowly relaxed.

"Oh great" a voice came from in front of them.

Hinata looked and saw Sasuke glaring at them.

"Uchiha" Gaara said with a quiet growl in his voice.

"Punk" Sasuke said in the same manner. (A/n: Sorry folks but I have no clue on Gaara's last name)

Hinata looked between the two of them then grabbed Sasuke's hand and pulled him out of sight. Hinata's heart was pounding a little, she didn't remember hearing about a lock down drill today. The three scrambled behind the wall near the entry way.

They pressed themselves against it when a shot rang out in the empty hall. Hinata froze, this wasn't a drill, this was an actual lockdown. A mixture of fear and adrenaline ran threw her veins. She tried to stay still as her body shook and her knees trembled. Hinata looked up at Gaara and saw no expression on his face. When she looked at Sasuke she saw a similar expression on his face. Hinata, who was nearest to the doorway looked out to see if someone was coming.

XXXXXXX

Sasuke stood motionless as his heart pounded in his chest. He was thankful for all of those hunting trips he had for they certainly came in handy now. Hinata and Gaara were pinned against the side wall while he pressed against the door of one of the stalls.

'Everything is going to be fine' he thought to himself 'As long as no one makes a sound he's not going to realize we're here'

He watched as Hinata slowly and quietly slid down the wall and leaned against it. He saw her muscles starting to tense as she watched the hall way. From where he was standing, she looked like a predator ready to pounce. One of her hands was placed on the ground while the other braced her against the wall.

After a while she slipped back up into a standing position again. He noticed Gaara slowly ease himself back to where he was and trying to get Hinata to do the same.

Hinata stayed where she was, watching the way.

XXXXXXX

"Come on Hinata" Gaara whispered, try again to get her into the area where he and Sasuke were.

She shook her head, something bad was going to happen in a few minutes. The feeling ran down her spine and she knew Gaara felt it too but still, she couldn't leave. It was the feeling you get when someone tells you that the world is going to end in a few years or like the feeling when you ride the wild thing and you're extremely scared of heights. Or even like the time you first took your driving test and you didn't want to screw up. Whatever it reminds you of Hinata had it and she couldn't leave because of it.

Foot steps rang in the quiet halls and another gun shot sounded off. Hinata could see a shadow fall and a small girl came into view. Her heart stopped, she knew the little girl and her instincts kicked in.

Her mother's voice and words rang in her head when she talked about a lock down drill a year or two ago.

"Don't be a hero Hinata, stay safe and hide"

'I'm sorry mom' she thought to herself then bolted towards the girl.

There was shouting and gunfire. Hinata felt something hit her shoulder and chest. Someone screamed her name but it sounded distant and then finally her world went black.
