~ Hinata's POV ~

Breath Hinata. This is no big deal. Even if we thought Naruto was 5,845 miles from here, you're still going to do everything in your power to bring two loving brothers together.

"I can't do it!"

"Hinata stop being such a baby and go over there and demand to see Naruto!"

"It's not that easy Ino. We should first think of a plan. It's not like he's just going to randomly start talking to Sasuke again, just because we asked."

"Well if he doesn't, then will just have to beat it out of him, right Tenten? Oh! Does anyone know if I packed my bat? It could come in handy."

"What?! We are not beating him up! You do know that his mom is the chief of police in japan and his dad, director of our school! How the hell could you think of such a thing, Temari?"

"Well, we've been sitting here for about 3 hours, and still, can't get Hinata out of the closet. So if you have any great ideas, I'd love to hear them."

Sadly what Temari was saying was right. The moment Sasuke and I came back inside, I suddenly noticed what I had gotten myself into. So without even stepping foot into the living room, I ran upstairs and locked myself in the closet in our room.

When the girls finally came upstairs to cheek on me, I told them everything that had happened. And now were here, three hours later and I still have shivers going down my spine.

"Hinata if this is killing you so bad then why don't you just tell Sasuke you can't help him and that he should try to solve his own family problems." I could hear how upset Tenten was by the sound of her voice.

If it was that easy I would have done that in the first place.

"You don't understand. Sasuke's family, his problems will always be my problems. He's helped me out so many times that I've lost count. If I don't help him now then it's like I'm letting down my own brother."

"Hinata..."

Silence filled the room. I hated when things like this happened. It made me feel ten times more pathetic than I already am.

"Well then let's go."

- Click -

And from out of nowhere, I heard a click of the dresser doors being unlocked and slammed open, as I soon hit the carpet floor.

"Owe, that hurt!" I cried as I rubbed my now throbbing forehead. Though the moment I raised my head to glare at the girls, I notice that the girls and I weren't the only ones in the room.

"Sasuke?" But before I could muffle another word he punched me on the head.

"W-what the hell?" I cried once more as I pressed my hands on the fresh bump that had begun to form on my head, as little tears hanging from my eyes. Is it just me or have his punches gotten a lot harder then they use to be?

"Idiot! If you don't want to, you don't have to! You don't have feel obligated to help me!" I could see a vein pop at the right side of his forehead at one point there, as I couldn't help but watch him with wide eyes. "Shit. I didn't help you all those times when we were kids just for you to owe me one in the future. If you feel like you'ur not up to the task then just forget about it."

Not up to the task? Is that what I'm feeling? I'm I just so scared that Naruto will reject talking to me, that I'll actually sacrifice his and Sasuke's brotherly bond? Great, now I'm the jerk here. When did Sasuke grow up to be so mature? Ha, makes me feel so childish, and there's no way I'm being shown up by that loser.

I slowly stood up as I gave a quick smirk to him and the girls. "Sorry, I guess I let childhood fears get the better of me again. But I promised you that I'd help you and I give you me word on that. And I never go back on my word." I gave Sasuke a slight punch on the chest.

This it, no backing out now.

Naruto, no more running away. That's something I admired about you. Now I'm going to help reunite you with your brother if you like it or not.

"Now that we got that out of the way, why don't we get on to real business?" All our attentions were turned to the pineapple-haired guy as he leaned calmly on the side of the door frame, along with Neji and Choji standing behind him.

"Shikamaru has a point. If you truly intend to help Sasuke then you have to be prepared for what your plan is going to be. You can't go to the King's dorm without a plan, they don't just let anyone in you know?" Neji said as he was now standing outside of the door.

"King's Dorm?" The girls and I asked with puzzled faces.

"*Munch-Munch* Yup, The Kings Dorm. That's the name of the dorm that Naruto stays at. If your not one of the five kings then you can't get in." Choji said as he munched on a bag of chips.

"Five King's?" We asked questionably once again as our heads tilted to the side.

"How troublesome. The Five Kings are the top student that run the school. And as you should guess, Naruto is one of them."

"Are you trying to call us stupid?" Temari said irritably as she shoved her bat up to Shikamaru's chin while she pushed it up, as Shikamaru looked at her annoyed. "Troublesome woman," he muttered as she kept her hold on the bat.

"Looks like Temari found her bat," Tenten said as she sweatdropped. "Seems like it." Ino gulped, as they both watched Temari and Shikamaru fearfully.

"Well, I guess this settles it. I'm helping you." I said as I crawled towards Sasuke and sat beside him while everyone was watching Temari fight with Shikamaru.

"You know you don't have to right?"

"I'm not doing it because I have to, I'm doing it because I want to," I said as I gave him a wide smile.

"Thanks," He said while smiling back as we bumped fist.

"Hey!" I soon turned my head to the front as I was face to face with the front of Temari's metal bat.

"You're not doing this alone. You have us remember? Besides if you can barely stand remembering about the guy then how do you plan on actually talking to him? You're not in this alone Hinata." Tenten said as she gave me one of her goofy smiles.

"Yeah, Hinata! Don't forget where here too, BAKA!" Ino yelled, as Temari just shook her head in approval.

"R-Right." Was the only think I could replay as I could only watch the girls smile at me.

For some reason, I felt like everyone helping me to help Sasuke become closer to Naruto, like the way they use to be, was a bit unnecessary. But then again, whatever floats their bout's, right?
