Two months. Two months without updating

I feel that at any moment assassins could come at me and force me to write. If not worse.

Well. Here is the long waited chapter 10 (wow, the first time I did a chapter 10)

Recap:

"Yeah, but the time you don't spend with him you miss him right? And even though you have every reason to hate him you don't. You're comfortable with him aren't you?" Hinata was speechless. It was like Temari could read her mind. "Think about it ok Hinata-chan?" She said before leaving Hinata alone in her room.

"It can't be love"

Chap 10:

She couldn't sleep. She kept wondering about what Temari had told her. The weeks she thought Sasuke was avoiding her were depressing for some reason she couldn't quite figure it out. Something was missing. She was the kind of person to make friends fast. Even if they hadn't meet so much before she felt some kind of connection with Sasuke. She felt as if there was more then the cold exterior he let out for people. Like there was something he was hiding that could make him human.

She woke up that morning feeling like crap. She looked at the mirror and has not surprised with what she saw. She had dark rings under her eyes. That was one of the many disadvantages of being so pale, if you had one bad night of sleep the next day you were already with rings under you eyes.

Hinata sighed in annoyance. It was nothing she couldn't live with, but Gaara wouldn't like it so much. He was worse than Neji sometimes.

Walking out of her room after showering and changing she bumped in the one and only Kazegage of Sunakagure.

"Eep" Hinata couldn't help to squeak is surprise by the sight of Gaara so near her so erly in the morning. One thing she could never deny was that Gaara was very handsome (An: Hot, Hinata. The word you're looking is hot)

"What a charming way to say good morning" And just because it was Hinata he let the sarcasm show in his voice.

"It's a Konoha tradition you know?" She said giggling

"Well, I wasn't… What happened?" He said changing his tone from playful to dead serious when he noticed the circle beneath her eyes

"Oh, this is nothing…I just didn't sleep well that's all." He narrowed his eyes all hope she had of him letting go of the subject vanished.

"I don't have time to discuss this now, the counsel said they have something urgent to discuss. But since you're not sleeping well it means you won't have any problems talking to me tonight right?"

"I'd love to. And maybe after we could talk about more pleasant things"

"Sure. Have to go now, bye" He said walking away and ruffling her hair at the same time.

Hinata skipped her way down the stairs and when she got to de dinning room she only saw there Sasuke. Hoping that she wasn't blushing she made her way towards him.

"Ohayo. Temari eat already?" She said looking straight at him and now sure she was blushing. Damn her and her old habits.

"She's still asleep." Said a voice behind her.

"Kankuro!" She said turning around and latching herself on his neck.

"It's nice to see you too Hina-chan" He said patting her back. He didn't change much, he still wore that purple paint in his face and still wore all black. He just stoped wearing that cat ear like thing in his head.

"How come Temari's still asleep? Last time I came here she used to jump in my bed to wake me up"

"Is because she got the week off. She says she works her ass of and she deserves to have a vacation when her friend is in the village"

"Hn. Then I'm going to wake her up. She can't sleep the whole day" She said already passing Kankuro. She missed his eyes going wide and them the shock being replaced by a sly smirk. Sasuke however didn't miss this.

"You sure?" He said almost not being able to contain the enthusiasm in his voice

"Of course" She said already out the door. Kankuro was grinning broadly.

"I've got to see this. Aren't you going to come?" He said turning to Sasuke who had just finished his breakfast.

"Why should I?"

"Believe me, you'll want to see this." Sasuke rolled his eyes because the way Kankuro reminded me of Naruto, but he went nonetheless.

Back in Konoha we could see one bored Tenten walking trough the streets. Lee was doing one of his stupid one sided bets and she had just gone to the Hyuuga manor just to have to come back, Neji was on a mission and wasn't going to come back until the end of the week.

"Why did I send Hinata off to Suna? Now I have no one" She was so busy being mad at herself that she didn't even notice that someone started walking next to her.

"AH!" She screamed when she finally noticed the figure next to her. She also hit him on the head.

"What was that for?!?" The blond boy said now rubbing his head.

"Don't do that!"

"Do what?"

"Sneak next to me and stand there quietly. Is so not like you" She said matter-of-factly

"I can be quiet!" Naruto said looking offended.

"Tell me the last time you stayed in silence and still for more than five minutes"

"Ham…well , there was…" He kept rambling for five minutes before quitting and sweat dropping. She just had to laugh at that, he looked so cute!

"What the hell are you thinking Tenten?" She mentally scolded herself for being so stupid. It didn't stop a blush from coming to her cheeks though.

"Are you ok Tenten? You are red, do you have a fever?" He said putting his hand on her forehead and getting on her level so he could look at her face better.

"I'm fine Naruto" She said getting his hand of her forehead and quickly turning to the other side so he couldn't see her blushing like Hinata would.

"If you say so."

"So, do you have anything to do today?" She said when she finally had her normal skin color on her face

"No, why?"

"Well, since my teammates abandoned me, do you want to hang out or something?"

"Oh yeah, I saw bushy brows running around the village on one knee. Sure, what do you want to do?"

"It doesn't matter. Anything is better than nothing."

"Hn. How about we go to the park were I know that Shikamaru is and annoy him a bit? It's always fun" He said giving her a grin that she was sure it would make the old Hinata faint.

"I'm right behind you."

Needless to say, Shikamaru wasn't too happy about it.

There, standing on Temari's door, Sasuke Uchiha was using all his will power not to have a nose bleed. The cause of that were the two females on the floor.

Apparently Kankuro had "forgot" to mention that when Temari was half asleep she liked to tackle whoever had woken her up and cuddle with the person.

So now on the floor there was one desperate Hinata trying to get off the deadly embrace of Temari. But that hasn't the bad part, no. The bad part was that Temari liked to sleep with almost no clothes at all.

Finally Sasuke decided to do something good. He left the room.

Thirty minutes later he saw Hinata coming to where he was waiting. Her hair and her clothes were completely messed up but for some reason he found it incredibly cute. He smirked when she stopped in front off him, she didn't seem all that happy though.

"Thanks a lot for the help!" She said rolling her eyes and attempting to glare at him. It just seem to amuse him even more.

"Is that sarcasm I hear in your tone?"

"You just stood there!"

"What? Did you want me to join you and make a threesome?" Even though the humor was obvious in his voice she couldn't help to gape at him and turn into a tomato.

"I…you… I didn't… I'm …change, going. Back, soon, wait." She said retreating to her room. Once she had left Sasuke felt free to laugh at her, it seemed his little joke had melted her brain for a few seconds. Only after realizing what he was doing he stopped and his eyes went wide.

"How long has it been since I laughed like this?" He tried remembering, it was probably when Naruto did something stupid. But when he laughed at Naruto was different. This one was more natural. It was more…

"So what are we doing today?" Hinata said looking down at him, because he was sitting, and smiling. He didn't even notice her coming in. Another good trait about her; nothing about her was loud. The way she spoke was soft, she waked without making a sound and she fought quietly too. He suddenly felt the urge to smile back at her, just for her being Hinata.

Hinata's eyes went wide and she could almost feel the roots of her hair burning from the blush she was adorning. But she was quite sure of what she saw; Sasuke was smiling at her! Spending all her life with cold men made her perceptive for those kinds of things.

"Shall we go?" He said getting up so he could be the one looking down at her.

"Go?" She seemed a bit lost to were they were

"Are we going to stay here all day?" He said smirking at her. He seemed to do that a lot near her.

"No. Well, there's not much that you'd like to do. Would you like to go to the training grounds? When might get lucky and find a empty one, if not we can just come back and use the training room of here. But it's the same of the ones we have in Konoha"

"Hn." She came to learn that in 'sasuke' that meant 'yes'. It was basically the same thing with Neji anyway.

Suna's training grounds were nothing like in Konoha. While in Konoha they had a forest to hide in Suna the training grounds were practically bare. They were deserts and in some spots there were places where you could practice your aiming.

"So, what do you think?" Hinata said happily swirling around in the middle of one of the training grounds. She seemed already accustomed to them because when they got there she had already infused chakra to her feet so she didn't lose balance.

"It's interesting. Shall we test it?" He said quirking an eye brow at her.

"You want to spar? With me?" She said looking at him like he had grown an extra head.

"Hai" He said already getting on his stance

"Fine, but do me a favor and don't play with me like you did with Kiba. But don't ended too fast either." She said also getting on her Hyuuga stance.

"No byakugan?"

"It uses too much chakra, and we are only sparring."

"Fine. On 3. 1, 2…" And he went before he got to 3. Luckily Hinata was used to being tested that way. Having a father who used to think of her as weak made her go trough a lot of different kinds of training.

Sasuke came crashing with a kunai on her right side and she blocked it with one of her own. They continued to attack with that one kunai continuously, creating some kind of dance. Suddenly the two of them put so much force into the attack that they ended up skidding backwards and finally releasing the kunais they had in hand.

"Not bad Hyuuga. Now lets see you taijutsu" She had only one second after he finished that sentence before she had to dodge an upcoming fist that was directed to her face. She tried aiming a kick to his stomach but as she expected he dodged easily. The only thing she did has dodge his attacks; never being able to attack him because even if she was doing her best dodging him he still got some hits right. Only when she was able to grab both his fists she was able to hit a kick on his stomach. What she didn't expect was for him to go "puff" and disappear. She felt a hit on her back and she came crashing into the ground. After a few seconds she opened her eyes and saw Sasuke standing in front of her with his hand stretched out so she could get up. She smiled and much like him before made "puff" and disappeared. Behind Sasuke stood the real Hinata with a kunai against his neck.

"Very smart Hyuuga" Said Sasuke and for the second time the clone disappeared.

"Ah. Come on!" Says Hinata looking disappointed by feeling something sharp on the back of her neck.

"You lose." She could almost feel the smirk on his lips while he said that.

"Fine, good thing I got used to it in the past."

"If it is any consolation you're way better challenge then the mutt boy."

"Thanks I guess. Oh, do me a favor and don't comment near Kyo about this"

"Why?"

"He always wanted to see me spar but I never let him because I'm afraid he might get hurt or something." She says plopping herself on the ground.

"I was meaning to ask you; what's the deal with that kid?" He asks sitting next to her

"What do you mean?"

"Well, one minute he's all energetic like Naruto and the other he's all rude and serious like…"

"You?" She completes, looking at him with an amused smile

"Yeah, me…"

"Well. Kyo-kun lost his father when he was very young. Back then he was happy and energetic all the time and that always brought a smile to Tomoyo-san's face. Tomoyo-san was only fourteen when she was forced into marriage by her father, the good thing was that she really loved the man she was supposed to marry. Shortly after she had Kyo. You must have noticed she's not that older than we are. So, when Kyo's father died he was leaving two kids behind, Tomoyo was way too young to take care of them by herself. So Kyo thought he should ct more seriously and help his mother. And that actually helped, but after they had figured out their lives he continued to act unlike himself and Tomoyo told me. So she asked him to be like he was again and the result is what he is now. He can't really decide which one he is."

"So he's bipolar?"

"No, he's just…well, I don't really know how to explain. His personality depends on the situation."

"Hn."

"Let's head back to the residence? Lunch must be almost ready and Temari must have woken up"

"So you didn't woke her up?"

"I'm never waking her up ever again"

And for the second time that day Hinata made Sasuke Uchiha laugh.

I hope this makes you happy

I can already imagine the kinds of treats I'm going to receive…

Oh, sorry if there are any major mistakes but it's 1 am and I'm tired -.-

I have my reasons for putting Kyo's story here...

I'll try to update faster! I promise, school is ending! And I'll have plenty of time to write.

Now please review and make me happy. I really need it
