"Blind"

Naruto is © Kishimoto Masashi/Shueisha/Viz Shonen Jump. Y_Y Warning, some spoilers ahead, as this takes place during the events of Chapter 177 (before Orochimaru's men attack Sasuke). You have been warned.
A/N: Sorry for the delay, comp was down. Something about the flu. But I should be updating a WEE bit more often now. BTW, Sharingan are said to have originated from Byakugan. So *IF* they have kiddies, they'd have either enhanced Sharingan or dulled Byakugan. And irate in-laws :p
Why do so many want me to make this a NaruHina? WHYYYYYYYYYY? You'd think people didn't like this pairing or sumthin' XD. Eh, I already planned everything out before the first chappie came out newayz, so :p You'll just hafta read to find the pairing.
Danke for the reviews!!! *giggles like a schoolgirl*

"D-dinner?" Hinata asked weakly. She paled slightly more than usual and a hand began to tremble.
"Yeah," Sasuke smiling wantonly, "just you and me." He'd overheard someone use that once with great success.
"Wh-why?" Her mind was reeling. Was this the same boy that vowed vengeance for the eradication of his clan, as her father told her? The same boy who was almost able to overcome the monster Gaara?
"'Cause you're cute." He'd heard that one on a TV program*. He would need to do more research later, his best lines used up. He walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder, still smirking. "Let's go."
"I. . ." Then her trembling hand became a fist and her countenance sobered. This was the same boy who tripped her into mud and blamed it on her. The same boy who caused her to get ten lashes of the cane when she got home that day, scarring her back. "I don't think that would be a good idea." Sasuke's face did not hide the shock very well.
"Uh. . . you. . . don't think. . ." He was confused.
"No, I. . ." she was getting nervous again for some reason. "I have a lot of chores and assignments to complete tonight." Sasuke thought about her reply. She was busy tonight. That's alright. He composed himself.
"Tomorrow then, lunch or dinner?" He smirked, but lost some confidence.
"I'm a-actually very busy. I, pretty much, eat on the go." Why was she making this up? Why didn't she tell him she really didn't like him.
"Oh." Sasuke thought.
"I have to go. Excuse me." She ran off. Sasuke only muttered an "uh. . ." before she was out of sight.
'Damn it! What happened? First these girls are crowding me, next they're running from me. I thought they'd kill to go out with me. What the hell is wrong with her? Humph. Maybe she's a dyke.' He kicked the dirt at his feet and sulked away. Two of Hinata's traits never really occurred to him. That she was shy, and that she disliked him so much, it nulled the first trait. Around a corner, Hinata was breathing hard, her heart pounding. But only partly from her sprint.
'What is that boy doing?'
After they left, Mayumi finally got the courage to come out from hiding.
"I gotta tell Ino."
* * *
Sasuke and Hinata were going to arrive at their homes at about the same time. Had they known they lived one complex away from each other, the next few days, indeed, the rest of their lives would have turned out differently. But life being as such, Sasuke was the first to notice. She was in the distance, walking towards him, her head down. He smirked. As he got closer, more ideas surfaced. Maybe he would help her with whatever she was doing tonight. Something sappy like that. He didn't care. Anything to have her spend some time with him. His smile grew as they got closer.
"Hinata-chan!" She faced the origin of the voice, and her eyes went wide. She felt her face redden, a stupid smile crossing her lips. Was he calling out to her!?
Sasuke scowled. 'What's HE doing here?' He moved closer and hid, being careful not to alert them. Naruto had seen her in the distance, and realized something while contemplating his fight with Sasuke. He was breathing hard from his run to catch up with Hinata.
"N-Naruto-kun," she stumbled out meekly. She could feel her heart quicken, and began to play with her fingers. "G-good evening."
"Evening, Hinata-chan," he said between breaths. He swallowed. "I'm sorry to bother you, but I gotta ask a favor."
"A favor?" she said weakly. 'Anything!' she thought. Her flush intensified.
"Yeah!" He flashed his vulpine smile, and Hinata melted. "I wanna learn your Taijutsu!" Twice this night, Hinata's sense of reality had been pulled out from under her. She wondered if the gods were playing tricks on her. Her brain was not happy.
"Uh. . . wha. . . uh. . . huh?" was all she could muster. Between having Naruto not only speaking to her, but asking for a favor of that magnitude, and her encounter with Sasuke, her brain was running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
"See, here's the thing," Naruto continued, "I got into a fight with Sasuke today-"
"Sasuke?" She snapped back to reality.
"Yeah! I tried to beat him with this WICKED move I learned, but thankfully Kakashi stopped us. Then I realized I probably woulda killed him. My move hit a big water. . . holding. . . thing, and it EXPLODED! He's my rival, and I wanna beat him, but I don't wanna KILL him! But I seen him fight. He's learned the crazy Taijutsu Rock Lee knows. And he knows my moves! So I figgered I gotta be able to at least keep up with him so I can hand him his ass. I know you, Neji, Rock and Gai-sensei know Taijutsu. But Rock and Gai-sensei are creepy," he lowered his voice just to say that, "and I don't think Neji'll be too willing after I creamed him, so I come to you! Please teach me!" Naruto gave Hinata a pleading bow, "I promise not to be a bother on you or your training, and I'll work real hard."
Hinata was frozen in place. An even more stupid smile was on her flushed face. He was serous! Inside, she was laughing maniacally at the incredulity of all this. He would not have had a greater effect on her had he asked her hand in marriage. Slowly, analytical thought returned to her. What would her clan say? Is this forbidden? She didn't know. What would Neji say? What would her team and sensei say? She didn't know how to teach. She hasn't mastered it all herself yet. And the Gentle Fist doesn't work well without Byakugan.
"Okay." If there was an inner Hinata, her jaw would be on the floor.
"You will?!" Naruto was elated.
"I have *gulp* quite a bit of free time b-between training. I. . . I sh-should make a. . . s-schedule. . ."
"Alright!! You're the best! Thank you so much!" Hinata's heart skipped a beat when Naruto gave her a quick, impromptu hug. She wondered how she was still standing. "How can I repay you?"
"I-I'll g-get b-back t-to y-you o-on t-that." She was losing it.
"Great!" He started to run off. He waved back, "Keep in touch!" And he was gone. Hinata slowly made her way into her building and into her apartment. She mechanically opened the door, went inside, closed the door and locked it. She walked over to her bed and fainted.
Outside her apartment building, there was a freshly made hole in its wall the size of a fist.

*Have you seen Sasuke's apartment? Nice! And he DOES have a TV in there. Poor boy, doesn't recognize when he's being shot down. BTW, I meant no offense in that one sentence, if ya know what I mean.
