Sorry for the long term update. I'm a little disappointed by the small
numbers of review I got from the earlier chapter. I'm really hesitating to
continue this fic. But!!! Thanks to pretendingtobesane, cookie6... and of
course to Karen Ocampo. I really appreciate you're support. PLS don't hate
me after this chapter... it'll have a NejiHina in it but I'm still sticking
to the SasuHina.

Sasuke broke the hug and helped her stand up. He looked at her for a while then he went back to his practice. Hinata didn't want to go home, so she stayed and watched him as he performed his chidori attack at a tree. With high speed he took out a kunai and threw it at his target, a leaf with a brown color. Hinata's amazed with his performance. He's so fast and strong, unlike her. She's weak and useless. But she cut those thoughts off and sat down again. She enjoyed watching at him, as he performed his techniques and his speed. Without her noticing it's almost 4 and she's been watching him for about three hours. Sasuke stopped and looked at her. He's full of sweat and dirt. He sat down beside her and rest for a while.
"Did I bore you?" "No, not at all. I'm just wondering on how you grew strong like that" "It's because he's born with it." A cold voice answered him. It's Neji. He walked closer to them and said. "I told you before, a person who is born weak will never be strong and..." before he could finish his sentence Sasuke spoke. "But... a person who once thought he is strong will be eaten alive to only realize that he is weak." Both stared at each other for a while, exchanging death looks at each other. Until Neji grabbed Hinata's wrist and pulled her up. Sasuke stood up too and hold Hinata's other hand. Neji sighed.
"Uchiha, stay away from my cousin or else" "Or else what?" "I'll kill you!" "Yamette, please don't fight. I-I'm not worth it" Hinata looked at the both them. "We're going" Neji pulled her. But Sasuke didn't let go. "Let her go Uchiha, she's going home." "No, she isn't." he pulled her back. Hinata looked confused yet a little flattered. "Pls., Neji-nisan, don't fight him. I-I'll... I'll go with you." She stared at the ground. "Then I'll go with you. I'll escort you home" Sasuke said and looked at Neji. Neji agreed since he knew Sasuke will never give up. Hinata was able to breathe again. All three of them walk quietly until they reached the gate. Neji looked at Sasuke. "I'll go now Hinata-chan, I guess I'll just see you tomorrow." He knew he can't do anything since Neji's there. He looked at Neji and smirked at him. Hinata stared at him until he disappeared in sight. Neji walked with her inside.
"Hinata-sama, can I talk to you for a while?" he asked. Hinata lead him to her room, since that's the only place they could get their privacy.
They sat at the side of her bed.
"Hinata-sama, what are you doing with that Uchiha boy?"
"We?... We were just... um... I made lunch for him and we ate together" she knew she can't lie, she knew he saw them both hugging each other, her sitting at his lap, she just knew it because of his byakugan. "What's you're relation with him?" he sounded like he's more of interrogating her. "We're just.... Friends." "Friends? Hugging and sitting at his lap. And both of you at the forest alone?" "I-I..." she sighed. She just knew she can't argue anymore. "Are you afraid of me?" he suddenly asked. "No,... I'm..." "You can't lie to me.... You're a very bad liar Hinata. That's what I like about you. You have such honesty." He cupped her cheeks. Hinata's trembling. She didn't know what to do he's coming closer to her. "Neji-nisan, I think you could go now" she pushed him back. Neji looked at her. "Ok, then I'll go now." He walked quietly and he's out of her room. Hinata can't believe such actions from Neji.
Hinata's P.O.V 'Does that mean that he liked her? No, it might be just because of him protecting me. But he told me that.... Does his action a while ago say that... he's jealous of Sasuke-kun? But... it's wrong to love him. It's wrong for him to love me either. We-we... can't! We're cousins and... will be just it, nothing more than that. End
She snapped out of it and fixed her things for tomorrow's departure. After having dinner and an interrogation by her sister she went to bed and think about the things that happened that day.
"Alone, me and Sasuke-kun. He liked my cooked food for him. And now I really know that he really cared for me. I better take a rest for tomorrow's departure." She closed he eyes and relaxed after all the happy thoughts.
The next day she woke up at around 4 for her not be late like yesterday. She got dressed and grabbed her bag pack. She left a not at their living room to indicate that she'll be away for a while. She knew they won't care if anything happened to her. But before she could get out of the house, she saw her father standing next to the door of the room. "You'll be away?" "Hai, we'll go for training at Mt. Kureshi outside Konoha." He stared at her and gave her some money. "Arigato. I'll go now father." She walk past him and went to the gate. 'hmp... I know he isn't worry at me, he's just worry that I'll get lost and... my bloodline. Snap out of it Hinata. Focus on training just like Kurenai- sensei told you.' Then she went to a store to but some food and medical stuffs. She headed for their meeting place and saw that Sasuke's the only one that's around. "Ohayo, Sasuke-kun" she greeted and bowed down a little. He looked at her and said good morning, and then he smiled at her. That smile caught Hinata's eyes and she thought for a while that ever since Naruto's dating Sakura, Sasuke appeared and he always smiled at her, he changed. She smiled back and stand beside him. The sky is starting to change its color; it's now mixed with a little indigo and bright yellow. Shino and Kiba appeared. Kiba's as loud as before greeted her happily and same as Akamaru, while Shino just greeted her silently. Sakura then came and did the same. She smiled at Sasuke but he ignored her. Then from no where Ino came and hanged herself behind Sasuke.
"Ino, pig you're here?!" "Why, yes forehead! My Shikamaru is on duty, while Chouji is injured at the hospital, and Asuma-sansei is on a mission. So! That leads me no choice but to go with you guys on you're training!" she smirked at her. Then Naruto appeared followed by Kurenai. "So everyone's here?" she asked. "Ie, Kakashi-sensei isn't here yet." Sakura said. Then with a puff of smoke the grey haired jounin appeared. "Yo" they stared at him for a while looking irritated. Then they headed to the gate of Konoha. The forest is quiet and the chirping of the birds can be heard. They run through the huge branches swaying from tree to tree and try to imagine they're speed like on the series (oh, just made your own imagination! I can't express it!).
After running for about three hours they reached their destination. They climbed the mountain and they saw a huge mansion at the center of the forest.
"Here we are" Kurenai said as she rest for a while. "Nothing changed at all" Kakashi added. "So that means you've been here before sensei" Sakura said. "Yeah, it's been 15 long years since then." He replied. "Well, let's go inside then! I'm hungry!" Naruto suggested yelling like a maniac who hasn't eaten for years.
Kurenai knocked at the door. "Sensei, there's a doorbell" Shino said. Then Kurenai rang the doorbell three times. Then an old woman from behind them greeted them, she's wearing a duster and she has an eyeglass. "Nobody's home! Well... who are you guys?" she asked. "Nany Marta?" Kakashi asked. "Kakashi? Is that you?" then she looked at Kurenai. "Nai? Oh, God I'm so glad to both of you! Why didn't you told me you're arriving?" she hugged Kakashi then Kurenai.
"We would like to surprise you." Kurenai said to calm the woman. "Well, come on let's go inside." She took out a key and unlock the door. "Sit down... come on don't be shy. Everyone... wait! Do you like some tea?"
"If you insist, nany." Kakashi replied and smiled. The old woman grabbed some cup and a tea pot and served them. She also gave them cookies and pastries. "So... you have business here?" she asked and looked at Kakashi. "If it's ok with you for us to stop here for a while so we could train here." "Oh... that'll be great! I haven't had any visitors since 14 years. I'll be grateful to let you guys stay." "Thanks nany" Kurenai smiled at her. "By the way who are these children?" "Well, they're our students, everyone introduce yourselves." She commanded.
"I'm Haruno Sakura" "I'm Uchiha Sasuke" "I'm Inuzuka Kiba and this is Akamaru" he barked. Nany laughed at the sight of the dog. "I'm Aburame Shino mam." "Yamanaka Ino." "I'm... Hyuuga Hinata." "And I'm UZ....U...MA...KI.... NARUTO!" they all sweat dropped by his actions. Nany looked at him and moved closer to his side. "You resembles him a lot... my dear." She hugged him. Then smiled at him. "Well, there are rooms upstairs you could use any of them, and I'll prepare you're lunch. You must be very hungry by your journey." She stood up and went to the kitchen. "Sensei, what was that?" he asked. "Nothing she just remembered someone. Well, we better fixed our things now."
"Hinata-chan, I'll help you carry you're bag." Kiba grabbed her bag and she simply thanked him.
SASUKE's P.O.V 'Damn that dog boy! He got first. Calm down Sasuke, calm down. You'll get with her soon. You can't loose your temper now. I should control my emotions; Kiba's just trying to be friendly with her. Wait... am I jealous?' End
"Sasuke-kun are you alright?" Sakura asked him. As she saw that he's staring at Kiba and Hinata. He looked at her coldly and ignored her.
"You could choose any rooms. I and Kakashi will just be down stairs helping nany." Both jounins went down stairs. "Hinata, what room do you want?" Kiba asked her. "Um... maybe the one on the middle."
"I'll have this room." Sasuke entered the room left on where Hinata pointed. All of them chose each room and fixed their things.
Sasuke P.O.V 'I think I better talk to her in her room. But... in her room? No! Erase such dirty thoughts you got there. I'll just... ask her for a walk. Right for a walk.'
I got out of my room and knocked on her door. I placed my ear towards the door and listen for a while. "Who's there?" she asked with her timid voice. "It's me Sasuke." "Oh, come in Sasuke-kun."
I opened the door and saw her fixed her things inside her cabinet. "Can I come in?" "Oh, sure." I sat beside her bed and stared at her. "I'll help you." "Thanks." I got some of her clothes pass to her and she arranged them in her cabinet. But when a shirt slipped my grip I reacted and catch it. But she also reacted and caught it too. Her fingers accidentally intertwined with mine. I looked at her and saw that she's blushing badly. "Gomen, I didn't mean it." "It's ok. This is the last one so I'm done." She let go of my hand and put the clothes in the cabinet.
"Can... I ask why are you here?" "Um... I would like to have a walk and I thought if you would like to go with me?" "Sure." End of P.O.V
They both went out of the house and walk for a while. 'The breeze from the forest and the radiant of the sunlight, it's perfect' Sasuke thought. 'How romantic! He even asked me for a walk' Hinata thought then she blushed. Sasuke could hear the water fall near them.
"Do want to go to a water fall?" he asked. "Yeah, is there any?" "Listen." Then Hinata heard the rushing of water too. "Yeah, I could hear it." She looked at him. Sasuke grabbed her hand and run towards the direction of the sound. After a minute of running with their hands together, they reached the falls. It was beautiful with the clear water in it and the rushing water which made a pattern while falling down. Hinata's eyes widen by the view. Sasuke just stared at her. He can't believe that she's actually with her in such beautiful place. Then he heard something moving from the bushes behind them. He took out a Kunai and saw....
To be continue....
Sorry to cut it there. It's boring right? I don't know if I'll have to continue and stick to this fic anymore. But I need you ideas of course. Does my grammar improved? I'm writing on morning so I won't be lost. R and R mina!!!
