Hinata almost choked on her own spit as she heard Sasuke speak out. A coughing fit ensued and she only calmed down when she managed to grab a glass of water. She cleared her throat and smiled up at him, giggling a little.

"A-Anou… gomen ne Sasuke-san, I thought I heard you say-- "

"Would you be my boyfriend?"

Hinata felt as though she was going to go in another coma soon.

Seeing his serious expression, Hinata knew he wasn't going to break into a laugh anytime soon. A blush crept up her cheeks. Partly because she laughed at his idea and partly because, well, his idea altogether.

"Ne Sasuke-san, there are other girls out there." She said, trying to reason out of this situation. Sasuke turned away. "No. You're the only one I want."

The blush on Hinata's face turned brighter. She stared at Sasuke who also seemed to have a blush creeping on his face. His eyes shifted downwards as his words gave meaning to him. Hinata smiled a little.

He cleared his throat and mumbled an apology.

"That's okay…" Hinata whispered, "But, why can't you ask any other girl." Sasuke finally looked back up again as he looked out the window. And with a huff, he crossed his arms and pouted.

Hinata had to tilt her head to understand his expression. Sasuke had never looked this human before and Hinata found it strangely cute. "It's just that…" he started, he looked at her from the corner of his eye to see that she was listening and Hinata had to wave at him to prod him further. "Well, they're the reason why I'm asking you in the first place."

"Huh?"

Feeling slightly more open now, Sasuke leaned on his chair and acted as though he was going to tell a child a long bedtime story.

"You have to understand. Ever since I was a child, well, girls kinda scared me."

Hinata had to stop herself from giggling at this point.

"They never left me alone and stalked me everywhere I go. I was 8 maybe when I finally realized why they were everywhere. They told me so themselves, they were in love with me.

At the time, my brother told me it was natural for girls my age to be that way. It was like a phase they had to go through, he said. But I noticed not only there were girls my age but girls way older than me. They'd come by our class just to see me and well, pinch my cheeks, play with my hair and all that junk.

I couldn't get a moment of piece. I had to keep my guard up everywhere, especially during Christmas. Those girls were merciless with their mistletoes in hand. It was just too horrible. That's why I moved here to an all boy's school. But it seems as though my luck has vanished.

For the whole time you were out, girls had been raving this school. I've been hiding more than I have been in a long time. I need something to keep them away."

Just as he finished, they heard some kind of argument outside. Sasuke and Hinata both looked out to the soccer field where Naruto seemed to have been arguing with a group of girls.

"Tell us where Sasuke-kun is right now!!!" One of the girls yelled, the other joined in. Naruto looked utterly annoyed. "I already told you!!! I have no clue where the hell Sasu-gay is!!!"

One of the girls seemed to have realized his mistake and yelled, "He just insulted Sasuke-kun!!"!

Kiba was already running. If Naruto was smart, he would've ran too.

"GET HIM!!!!"

Hinata had to turn away and prayed Naruto was alright. Sasuke sighed. "See what I mean?" Hinata nodded.

They both sat there in silence, both staring innocently into each others eyes.

"Well…..?"

"Well what?"

"What's your answer?"

HInata blushed, "Well… ugh… can't I think about it Sasuke-kun?" she asked as she lifted her fingers to play with her hair. Sasuke smirked as he turned away, it didn't escape Hinata's eyes.

"W-what?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why were you smirking?"

"It's because I already know you're going to say yes."

"W-what?! How could you be so sure?"

Sasuke turned to look at her and he still had the smirk on. Hinata scowled a bit. How can he be so sure of himself, just because every girl is after him…

"Because… you just called me Sasuke-kun."

With that, he turned back and headed for the door. Hinata blushed and nodded to herself, He's right… man…. I really should think about what I'm about to say next time. But that doesn't mean anything!! He thinks he's so smart…

"Oh and by the way, Hiro-chan, would you mind telling Kabuto he's a useless medic. Seriously."

Sasuke closed the door and Hinata fell on the bed with a thud.

Wow, I never knew being so popular would be so troublesome. I guess he does have a point. If my life was like that, I don't know what I'd do. And to think, Sasuke came to me for this kind of thing. I don't know if I should say yes… I mean, it is pretend… but, I've never been in a relationship before… things just might go out of hand….

Suddenly, a loud squeal was heard from the door, Hinata looked up and heard someone shout, "Kyaaa!!!! It's Sasuke-kun!!! I saw him over there!!!! Hurry up!!!"

Hinata smiled, maybe he does need help.

Naruto opened the door to his room slowly, one hand on his throbbing head as he recalled the beating he just had.

"Stupid fangirls… why can't they pick someone else that's not Sasuke. How many times have I already been beaten up because of that bastard…"

He groaned in pain as he limped towards his bed and scowled. His bed was on the top bunk. Damn. With a sneer, he just fell on Sasuke's bed. He didn't care whether or not the grime he got from being beaten to a pulp or the blood coming from his many injuries would stain Sasuke's bed.

"He deserves it…" he mumbled under his breath.

It was then that he noticed someone beside him. He turned to see Gaara just lying there, staring at the ceiling.

"A girl… a girl… a girl… a girl… a girl…" he repeated over and over and over again like a mantra. Naruto nodded and looked at the ceiling as well. "Yea. Stupid girls."

Of course, he didn't really know what Gaara was talking about, did he?

End of Chapter

Ha!! Man I cut it close!!! Hey guys, at least it's not a month, ne? -_-IIII

Okay, fine! I failed you!! I should really stop making promises I can't keep. And I should really buy a darn new computer. My ol' buddy here just keeps going kapoot on me.

Oh, and before I forget,

"LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP!!! "

We'll all miss you MJ!!! You know, I never really knew him until now. I've never been updated to things before and all the things I thought I knew about him was all those controversies he had before that destroyed his reputation. Now I know though that the king of pop was a good man with a good heart. He wasn't a pedo. He just really loved children and wanted to give them a childhood that he never had.

Right now, he's my idol, so if you dis him, you've got to answer to me. Got it?

*sobs*

I'm so sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
