Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto... I am not japanese.

Cooper80: I will stick with the story if you promise to stick with it till the end :)

Hinata silently wondered why suddenly, the task of watching the lone Uchiha fell on her today. She mentally played the events which happened earlier as she manage to stole a glance from the man walking next to her.

She and Shino was about to leave the resto grill when Sasuke asked if he could come with them. Naruto would not allow it at first because it's his duty to be with Sasuke the whole day. The Jinchuriki only agreed when Sasuke pointed out that he already left him earlier on his own.

It did not bother her at first , she just wants to get away from Sakura and Naruto as fast as she could. Though she did not expect that Shino have to leave Sasuke on her watch because something came up and the Hokage needed Shino's presence. The Aburame was hesistant to leave at first but Hinata assured him she could manage. She is a qualified Anbu anyway. Her only disappointment is that she is not wearing her uniform and mask.

Sasuke cannot help but be irritated. He doesn't like that these foolish ninjas treat him like a child that needed to be watched all the time. Did they forget that he was considered as one of the most dangerous shinobi in Konoha? Did they actually think that he wanted to stroll with Shino Aburame? A smug smile formed in his lips as he wondered what would happen if he beat one of his Anbu watchers and show them that they are useless in guarding him anyway.

Well...I could try beating one of them now . Sasuke's dark eyes fell on the Hyuuga. Today, her Anbu uniform was replaced by an oversized purple jacket and khaki pants. He raised an eyebrow as he caught her bitting her lower lip.

Well that's cute...

"Hyuuga."

Hinata stopped walking in order to look the Uchiha on the face. He is taller than her so she have to raise her head to see his dark eyes. "Sasuke san."

"Can you catch me?"

It took a moment for Hinata to realize what he meant. Before she could react, Sasuke leaped to the rooftop of the nearest building, a smirk on his face. Let's see what you got .

Uchiha Sasuke asked himself if his actions are worth the risk as he sensed that the heiress is hot on his tracks. He admitted to himself that being an inactive shinobi for a few months leaves him with a certain numbness.

How he missed this action no matter how rash it may be. He just hope that the Hyuuga princess is up to it.

Hinata chased after the last Uchiha as he leaped from roof to roof with ease. Hinata knew that Sasuke would not be able to leave the village because of the cursed mark. One step out from Konoha's territory and he will surely regret the pain that's going to be inflicted upon him.

Now what ?

She saw him leaped from roof to tree. They are already at the foot of Konoha's vast woodlands. She activated her Byakugan and saw his bluish chakra. The Uchiha is swift and obviously deadly, but if he thought that he can get away from this Hyuuga...he thought wrong.

The chase brought the two of them in the deeper part of the woods. Large trees surrounds them in all direction. Hinata knew that there are shinobis who patrols the woods, she just hope that they are on this area. The blue eyed Anbu stopped when she felt his chakra near her. Her head jerked to the left as she heard a soft landing.

She turned again and saw nothing.

He knows my blind spot. She thought, alarmed. All hyuugas can almost see 360 degrees on their field of vision if the Byakugan is activated. There is one blind spot though, at the back of their necks.

She doesn't know what Sasuke is playing, but if he decides to be crazy all over again, she's going to be in trouble.

Sasuke observed the white eyed nin with interest. She is fast and gutsy, he will give her that. The girl improved a lot since the last time he saw her get beaten up by Neji during their chunin exam.

He just actually wanted to have a little fun but he guessed that the Hyuuga thought otherwise. He have to be careful though, He might scare one of his prefered guards.

"Sasuke san... We should return now..." He heard her speak and watched as the wind flows with her hair. "Stop this game right now Sasuke."

Landing behind her, he smiled deviously as the scent of lavender engulf him.

The Hyuuga heiress let her chakra flow to her hands and to the tip of her fingers. She got a feeling that Sasuke is taunting her.

A soft thud behind informed her that the culprit decided to show himself. Without warning, she turned and jabbed her chakra glowing hand to stop Sasuke's chakra flow. Whatever it takes, she won't let him think that he can just easily escape from her.

Sasuke caught her wrist before it coud hit him in his vital points. He growled as the girl tried to get free from his grasp. He have to hold both of her hands to prevent her in playing with his chakra flow. Hyuugas are popular for this kind of trick.

Hinata can feel Sasuke's breath in her face as he tried to calm and steady her. She was fast but he was faster. He was able to prevent her from paralyzing him by ruining his chakra flow.

"Damn Hyuuga. I am just messing with you."

"M-messing with me?" The heiress frowned.

Sasuke let her go when he was sure that she won't use any of her chakra stopping techniques on him. He can feel that her breathing is uneven and her cheeks a bright shade of red.

"I am not running away." He told her.

"I thought you were."

"Hmm."

"Can we go back now Sasuke san? " Hinata asked. She can feel her nerves shaking from the adrenaline rush. For a moment, she really believed that she is going to fight the legendary Uchiha right there.

"Hmm." Sasuke leaped on a tree branch. "If I am running away, you would not stand a chance Hyuuga."

"If you are running away, It will be the last thing you do Sasuke san." Hinata replied, the veins near her eyes still visible. She is not usually harsh and impolite but Sasuke's words stung. She is tired of people who says that her skills is not great enough. She tried her best to improve and earned her rank in the Anbu corps to prove that she can be a deadly kunoichi too.

Sasuke smirked. "Sure you can beat me in a race back if you can say those words to me."
