My binder is back! A neighbor found it in their yard and gave it to a neighboring middle school. Good thing my phone number was on my keys in the pencil bag. Phew! Hehe so now I have my notebook back, not wet at all from the rain, but I realized that I didn't even have that much in their! So SORRY I'm slow! REVIEWS are very appreciated!

Hinata moved her head a little; she must be having a dream… "I love you…" she whispered in his ear…

He turned his head to meet hers; she was really talking in her sleep. Naruto had left them alone to go look for some liquor. He looked around to see if somebody was watching them, with all the hype going on nobody was paying attention to the soaking pair.

"Who do you love?" he said in a low tone and barely moving his lips. A knot formed between her brows. "I love you…" she repeated again. His heart swelled from hearing those words from her.

"WHO do you love?" a pause and steady breathing from her. "Naruto-kun…" he wasn't surprised, who would be surprised if she said that? Only Naruto himself would be with that wall of denseness around him, but that wall was slowly beginning to crumble as he grew.

"Why?" he didn't want to hear why, but felt obligated to ask. Her lips parted and her breath hit his cheek. "He is… is…Strong…brave…handsome…and…" his heart was in his throat waiting for her to say the very last word. "And?" on an exhale she whispered, "nice…"

Sasuke was strong, brave, and handsome. But was he nice? He's carrying her right now, he gave her his tie, he…didn't even say thanks for taking care of me, and I'm horrible not nice. He sat her down on a chair, but her grip on his neck wouldn't loosen.

"Need some help?" Tsunade walked up to them and placed a hand on Hinata's ankle and a green glow rang through her skin. "Where were you this whole time?" he asked her, she took Hinata off his back.

"Where do you think?" "Drinking." Her eye twitched, "I don't always drink." He waved his hands. "Sure sure, so what were you doing then?" She put Hinata on a chair and pointed to Ino's body that had her head down on the table.

"You didn't help us because you were taking care of this drunk?" An angry vain popped up on her head. "No, Ino is currently in a different body right now. She noticed when the lights went out something was wrong, there was a large amount of enemy ninja in the facility. Of course the great Uchiha and Hyuuga should have noticed his." A bigger vain popped up on Sasuke's head.

"Taking a high risk she shot her mind into the darkness and caught us a ninja!" Sasuke fell out of his chair to how mediocre it was. "Hehe, she should be coming back to her body soon, I was taking care of the injuries she had…" She stopped sounding embarrassed.

"How did she get injuries?" She gave him a crooked smile. "I sort of beat the crap out of the ninja; I stopped after the first couple of 'It's me Ino!' yells." "Still would have hurt with your fists." She punched him in the face and he flew a couple of feet.

"I said I was sorry to her sheesh, now give it a rest." Hinata's eyes shot open after that outburst from Tsunade. She tried standing from the shock of being somewhere she wasn't before, but again she fell on her butt making a small squeak. Her face flushed she looked around, "W-Where i-is Neji?" continuing her search for her cousin she was about to use her bloodline limit. Tsunade put a hand on hers to stop her.

"He is reporting to your father." Her eyes were wide; will all of that credit she tried to earn go down the drain? She slumped in her chair and the person next to her jumped from her chair. "Oww, Tsunade-sama why did you have to hit me!?" Vain pops coming from everywhere on her body, she hit Sasuke for some reason.

"Oww, Tsunade-sama why did you have to hit me!?" he mimicked Ino's voice; this only made her angrier and threatened him with a fist. Sasuke looked at Hinata from his chair; she blushed with the stare he was giving her. Why is he staring…and why does it seem different from how he usually stares? She looked away from him.

A konoha ninja came falling down, from God knows where, and gave a scroll to the hokage. She read it in silence and gave one or two glances at Sasuke and Hinata. She rolled the scroll back up and cleared her throat.

"Well Hiashi-san," having been on friendly terms with Hinata's father and a very well known loser at poker in the Hyuuga house she called him by san, "wants to have a talk with you Sasuke and with a couple of other people, Hinata you are to attend this meeting as well." Her head sunk, was she going to get scolded for somehow letting her guard down?

"M-Miss Hinata!" A light blonde person, about the same age as Hinata, bowed his head to her with his arms stuck to his side. She turned her head and in his eyes looked like an angel; apparently Sasuke's eyes were like that too, he couldn't stop staring at her.

The man's mask was still on and his blush could still be seen. Either this guy didn't know what honorifics were or this guy is just really friendly, calling people by their first names, but didn't he call her by her first name too? Sasuke continued to listen in on their conversation.

"If you w-would like…I h-have a c-change of clothes b-brought out for y-you." His head tilted to the ground. "I-It's ok…I have to get home anyway." She stood; feeling her ankle had been healed from its previous scrapes and only felt numbness, she made a way to the gates when Tsunade put a hand to her shoulder.

"Sasuke walk Hinata home and be aware of guards." He looked at her and she looked at him. After a couple seconds of a stare fight he gave up and went towards the door, not waiting for Hinata as she limped on her way. They could hear the noise of the party fade and they entered a deserted street with the moonlight caressing their bodies.

He stared at her seeing her permanent blush, Why does she blush? He was going to ask her when she asked a question first. "Sasuke-san" "Sasuke" she looked at him, his stare still going on she looked back to the ground. "Ok, Sasuke umm w-why w-was it that…that w-we ummm…n-nothing never mind." He raised an eyebrow.

Why did we what? He thought for a moment looking into the sky filled with stars. He smirked, "You mean the kiss?" Her blush was still there and she nodded. "It was an accident" he didn't know how to sugar coat his words and put it very bluntly.

"An accident?! But…" That was my very first kiss… He looked at her again, letting his eyes look where ever it wanted to look, which was where he thought he would look at. Why does she try to hide her figure? Being taller than her by a long shot, he could see down her dress just slightly. Her attempt to cover herself went unnoticed by the nin. She can't really hide those from me can she?

"Did you think it was something more than an accident?" He sounded plain, monotonous, and very Sasuke-like. She shook her head, "O-of course, j-just an accident…" She felt like even if it was still an accident she was betraying Naruto. Her eyes looked down still embarrassed of how everything went. "It was just a kiss, nothing special; people kiss each other every day."

The street was ominous and quiet, as if it were made for the silent pair that could only hear themselves if everything were to shut down. The Hyuuga gates were nearby, Hinata nearly leaped at the chance to get to the door. Having almost fallen she was held by Sasuke's arm. His arm could her around her waist easily. It's…It's tiny! Having worn a little cape over her arms and waist that went over to her waist, he couldn't really see anything that she had hidden. While in the water ball it was just then cut off when they fell out.

What is she hiding? A flash back of what happened a while ago that mentions blood coming out of noses, he only saw a small bit of her figure but it was now beginning to fog in his memory. Should have got a better look… "Thank y-you f-for walking me." They were already at the gate; he was absorbed in his thoughts that he wasn't paying attention.

He looked her over one more time and let his mouth up turn. "My jacket?" he put his hand out for the black tux jacket she had over her arms. She stood shocked and gripped tighter to the fabric. "You owe me." She searched her memory for a second, and the time when she had fought him was when she owed him.

She was hesitant and with pleading eyes she threw the jacket quickly up into the air, this covered the Uchiha's line of vision. He pushed the jacket aside and found that Hinata had already left through the gates, her light dress that frilled before the door closed.

He walked on with a little skip in his step, My aren't you clever Hinata? I'll get you next time. His heart sunk suddenly thinking of what was going to happen to the poor girl when they spoke with her father. His eyes narrowed and he entered the empty house that will always be empty.

Little did he know, that this place was going to give him more than he could handle.
