When one sees a pretty girl in revealing clothes, depending on your gender, you either.

Gape like a fish, or make howling noises, like all perverted men

or

Glare like theres no tomorrow and make up silly rumors about her just because your jealous.

But when you see a group of girls in short skirts with high heels and over-bearing make-up, you stay out of their way in hopes of living.

This was the scene of the main shopping district aa passer byers jumped into stores to avoid said hoard of girls. The malice was thick in the air, it reminded them of the time of the Uchiha's rampage, though it wasn't this bad.

They could tell that someone was in the center of it all and felt much sympathy for whoever had it in for them. Unfortunately they could not see anything so they silently bowed their heads for whatever poor soul had to feel the wrath of such treacherous girls.

Nobody would have guessed that it was the ex-Hyuuga heiress, Hinata. She was always the kind konoichi unlike her peers and wouldn't understand what Hinata could of done, much less even comprehend how she crossed paths with them.

While in fact, Hinata didn't know either but that wasn't about to get her to back down from a challenge.

Back at the teashop, a glaring contest was ensued... until Hinata won. The girl completely humiliated, subtly told her to go with them to a secluded spot.

'That was just a fluke, come with me, we need to teach you a lesson!" followed by the chorus of "Yeah!", Hinata still confused, followed nonetheless.

She had nothing better to do anyway.

They walked until they started for the training grounds. In no time at all they stopped and turned to Hinata.

"We need to teach you a lesson!" the leader said.

"You already said that." Hinata said with a sigh.

"Stay away from Sasuke-kun!" she screamed.

"Sasuke?" Hinata was now seriously confused.

"Ya! Stay away from him!"

"That idiot, can't even get in ten feet of me!" Hinata said angered at the reminder of Sasuke.

"Eh?" now they were the ones confused.

"He's a cold hearted bastard! If I see his face! I swear to kami I'm gonna kill him!" Hinata screamed, absently stomping on imaginary chibi Sasukes. Everyone else had sweat drops in the back of their heads.

"Shes a liar, I saw them together today! They were too close!" screamed the next door neighbor.

"It was an accident, that bastard kissed me to-

"HE KISSED YOU!!!!!"

"Shit! They weren't talking about that." Hinata mumbled.

"You are so dead!" screamed the leader who was apparently a ninja. She made a punch for Hinata, which she easily dodged. Hinata just noticing her forehead protector, raised an eyebrow.

"You know-" Hinata casually started as she easily dodge all punches and kicks that were so messily thrown her way, "-you could get suspended for attacking a civilian."

"After we're done with you, you won't even remember." the leader boasted.

"What are you? Gennin?" Hinata said.

"I'm a chunnin!" the girl screamed.

"Your not a very good ninja, you shouldn't underestimate an opponent, are they letting just anybody pass, I'm surprised you haven't died yet."

"What's there to look at! Just some girl with weird eyes that thinks she can have Sasuke-kun!" the girl screamed becoming more and more restless at her inability to land a hit on Hinata.

"How do you not know that these weird eyes mean I'm a Hyuuga." the girl instantly stopped her punches as she figured out who she was.

"And I'm a jounin." Hinata smugly said. It was really good to see the look on her face. It was full of shock, disbelief, regret, and... fear.

"I-I..." Hinata was already walking away.

"Anyway, if your done, I got stuff to do, people to see... maybe even Sasuke-kun." Hinata said as she slightly looked back with a face of arrogance. It was truly different of her to want to rub something in someones face. But it even if it made her feel better she was, at the same time, hating herself.

It wasn't normal of her to like to see the pain of someone else. Even if that girl wanted to beat her up (not that she could), she didn't like it.

Then everything went back to Sasuke. It was his fault she was acting this way. She was thinking way too much and not acting like herself. She needed to get home and-and...ano...do something. She shook her head and hurriedly walked home all the while looking at her hands in disappointment.

Damn Naruto was getting on his nerves. He needed to get rid of him or else he was going to lose it. They went from Rock, Paper, Scissors to Tic-Tac-Toe to playing footsies on the couch. And with Hinata on his mind he kept on losing!

"You suck Sasuke!" and Naruto was still making fun of him. Naruto was going to die.

"Shut up Dobe!" Sasuke seethed as he poked him in the stomach (how effective Sasuke). Naruto annoyed, poked him back.

"Pff." was the weird noise that came out of Sasuke's mouth. Sasuke turned away from him as he covered his mouth with both hands. Naruto raised an eyebrow and tried facing Sasuke. Unfortunately Sasuke kept turning away.

"S-sasuke?" Naruto said.

"S-shut up-pff!" Naruto poked him again.

Naruto was... truly... amazed. It wasn't before long Naruto kept poking him and poking him, the noises kept getting louder and stronger. Naruto had made the ultimate discovery...

Sasuke Uchiha was ticklish.

By now Sasuke had calmed down a bit and no longer covering his mouth. But he was seething...

Revenge.

Instead of poking him like Naruto did, Sasuke tackled him onto the floor and started tickling non-stop. Naruto was also in fact, Ticklish. But Naruto fought back, they kept rolling all over the floor as they tried to dominate each other in their...ano... Tickling Match.

If they had paid more attention they would have noticed a gasp and someone stifling they're laughter.

They would regret they're lack of guard later.

I over slept!!!

Sakura was fixing her hair and smoothening out the creases in her clothes. A quick redo of her make-up, and a last check in her full-body mirror and she was out the door.

She felt rejuvenated and was thinking more clearly.

So now that she thought about it, her thoughts on Sasuke were nothing compared to what she should of really been thinking about.

Hinata

How could she had said something so inconsiderate! That was her best friend for crying out loud! She stabbed an old wound that hadn't even closed yet! After all the silent tears that were shed, all the trouble they went through to help her in her quest, everything they've been through!

It could possibly be nothing now. And it was all for some guy!

She ran through the main shopping district when she heard some interesting piece of gossip.

"I heard that the Sasuke Fan Club was looking for someone"

"I heard it was a girl."

"I heard that the Uchiha finally got a girlfriend!"

"Really?!? I thought he was gay!"

"Me too."

"I thought the boyfriend was the Uzumaki gaki."

"Me too, they were so cute toge-"

That was just a little too much information and not very helpful either. But maybe they saw Hinata and Sasuke together?

She had to find Hinata! Maybe they got her off guard? Not only that but she had to apologize. She didn't want to lose her friendship with her. Even if it was Sasuke, she wasn't about to lose Hinata as a friend.

Don't hate me Hinata...I'm...I'm sorry.
