Note by Game: Neji and Hinata are cousins, not brothers and sisters. Remember that for later in the story.

.........................................................................

Hinata made her way up the stairs, her fear for the boy's safety at a fever pitch.

But when she got there all she could do was watch, paralyzed.

She placed her finger to her lip as when she did when she was worried.

Naruto charged full force at Sasuke, with an evil glint in his eyes. He raised his hand in order to prepare for a powerful blow.

He rushed at Sasuke as fast as he could, and attempted to punch Sasuke.

Sasuke easily dodged Naruto's blow, the attempt failed, as he started to feel more confident.

Before Naruto ran past Sasuke, Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hand. Sasuke smiled as he spun around, so that Naruto faced Sasuke's back.

Sasuke placed a perfect hit with his elbow on Naruto's chest, making him fly backwards.

"Hmph, you can never defeat me with that strength," Sasuke mocked Naruto, glaring down at him, who was starting to stand again.

"Shut up!" Shouted Naruto. Naruto stood up as he started to rush at Sasuke once again.

"You should give up, because you will always be dead last," Sasuke told Naruto, with a smug look on his face.

"I said....SHUT UP!!!" Screamed Naruto, as he tried to punch Sasuke again.

Sasuke dodged to a position where he was behind Naruto, who suddenly stopped.

Naruto tried to jab Sasuke behind him, with his elbow, but Sasuke dodged that attack, once again.

Sasuke did a crouching round-kick so that Naruto's legs were pushed away, making him fall to the ground.

Naruto stopped his face from hitting the ground by quickly putting out his hands, which Sasuke didn't expect.

Before Sasuke could react, Naruto had placed a perfect, flat kick on Sasuke's face as he still lay down on the ground.

Sasuke flew up in the air as his nose started to bleed. Naruto pushed himself up from the ground quickly.

He rushed forward as he created shadow clones using seals with his hands. Sasuke was still in the air, holding his nose.

One of the seven clones jumped up in the air and attempted a kick with the back of his foot. Sasuke blocked it with his arm.

Another clone jumped up in the air and spun very fast, making his punch that he was currently charging VERY powerful.

The clone tried to land the punch on Sasuke, who blocked it with his other arm. Sasuke did a grimace of pain as he groaned.

The punch had caused pain to him, even though he blocked.

Suddenly, two of the clones threw eight kunais with explosive tags on Sasuke, who dodged the first two, so that they missed his head.

He released his current defense to create a new defense so that he could block the explosive kunais.

"AARGGHHH!!!" Screamed Sasuke, as he felt the pain of the explosions that even reached the two clones that earlier had tried to hit Sasuke, making them shatter into clouds of dust.

Sasuke flew down to the ground, with a high impact, leaving a big mark on the ground.

Dust shattered, so that Naruto couldn't see Sasuke.

Suddenly, balls of fire flew out of the big cloud of dust that protected Sasuke from being seen. The balls of fire hit those two clones that had thrown the explosion kunais on him. They shattered into clouds of dust.

The other clones dodged the fire balls. (There were three clones left and the real Naruto) All the Naruto's threw explosion signs into the cloud of dust.

Sasuke rushed at the cloud of dust, as he attempted to punch one of the Naruto's, but instead, he got a kick in the face by another Naruto.

Sasuke flew away at the ground, once again. The cloud of dust re-appeared.

"SHIT! SHIT! SHIT, SHIT!!!" Screamed Sasuke to himself, as he punched the ground. The Naruto's threw the explosion kunais into the cloud of dust again.

Sasuke jumped out of the cloud of dust as he had done last time. He randomly rushed at one of the Naruto's.

"You're repeating yourself, Sasuke!" Another Naruto screamed as he attempted a kick at Sasuke, to stop him from punching another Naruto.

But, Naruto flew through Sasuke, who obviously wasn't Sasuke. It was a normal clone.

"You were completely taken in, Naruto!!!" Yelled Sasuke, as he appeared above the Naruto who had tried to kick the clone Sasuke.

The Naruto shattered into clouds of dust. The other remaining three Naruto's rushed at Sasuke, who started to form seals with his hands, as he smiled.

"KATON! FIRE RAIN NO JUTSU!" Screamed Sasuke, as he hit the ground with the palm of his hand, as you did when you used summon jutsus.

The clouds above Naruto turned a little shade of red.

"Wha...WHAT IS THAT!?" Yelled Naruto as he feared the worst. Sasuke smiled once again. Small things, what seemed to be rain drops, started to appear in the sky that was above Naruto, they were blood-red.

As the small things what seemed to be red rain drops came closer, Naruto could see that they were burning. They were fireballs; still, he didn't fear it, because he could easily dodge them all.

"Hah! I can control the fire balls with my chakra!" Confessed Sasuke when the fireballs were no more than ten meters from Naruto, he wasn't holding back his powers; he unleashed it all at Naruto.

"Shi...SHIT!!!" Screamed Naruto as his clones and himself got totally burned by the tons of fireballs. The sky above Naruto and Sasuke turned normal. The dust shattered, so you could see the real Naruto, he groaned out of pain.

Sakura, who had made it shortly up the stairs watched in horror at the two boys.

She had never seen them like this, so serious with an intent to kill each other.

"Please...Please...Please stop it!!" Pleaded Sakura, crying.

"Naruto...Sasuke-Kun, please stop!" Sakura continued to plead, yelling.

But her pleading fell on deaf ears.

"(MASS) KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!!" Shouted Naruto, making TONS of Naruto's surround Sasuke.

Sasuke looked around, and then he smiled. Naruto performed a grimace of anger, as all of them rushed at Sasuke.

"There's no way, no way you'll ever defeat me, Naruto," Mocked Sasuke as he continued smiling.

"THEN, LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN WITHSTAND A THOUSAND PUNCHES!!!" All the Naruto's screamed at once.

"I warned you....SHARINGAN!!!" Screamed Sasuke, as he released the special jutsu that all Uchiha's had.

The Naruto's stopped, all of them shattered into dusts, leaving the real Naruto alone. He stood in front of Sasuke, not so very far away.

Naruto stared down at the ground, a dark glare beaming through his eyes.

He then looked up at Sasuke, his dark glare now apparent to Sasuke.

For some reason Sasuke felt a tinge of fear now welling in his heart.

Which made Sasuke more upset...it made him mad that he could get scared of Naruto.

"No way? There's yet to see if there really is no way for me to defeat you, Sasuke-Chan," Said Naruto stressing the Chan in his voice.

After Naruto had called him 'Sasuke-Chan' Sasuke no longer keep his calm.

"NARUTO!" Yelled Sasuke, as anger busted out of his eyes.

"SASUKE!" Yelled Naruto, glaring at Sasuke.

"Let's continue now, but now, let's not care about the environment. Unleash it all, it is only our battle that is important," Said Sasuke, setting the rules.

"Fine by me," Replied Naruto, stepping back.

Naruto rushed at Sasuke with full force, who was using his defense stance.

..............................................

Sakura was now crying full force now.

Hinata still stood there frozen as she watched the boys.

{I can't let them hurt each other...They are both people so close to me...if one of them was eliminated...I can't face anyone anymore...} Thought Hinata, as she held her tears in.

"You know, Sasuke, I wasn't playing around when I left," Said Naruto while focusing chakra into his hand. He had been holding back last time.

Naruto hand was now glowing with charka, and an orb appeared in his hand.

Sasuke started to gather his chakra; still, he feared the worst.

Naruto and Sasuke now glared with intensity as they got ready to attack.

{I wish I wasn't so weak... so I would be able to stop them...but...is strength really needed to stop them?} Thought Hinata, feeling very sad as she watched the boys break into a run.

"RASENGAN!!" Shouted Naruto as he ran towards Sasuke with the bright orb shining, and spinning madly in his hand.

And Sasuke was running to ready to counter with his chidori as the sounds of chi, chi, chi, could be heard.

Sakura was terrified as she noticed Sasuke's chidori attack, as she had seen it before, at the Chuunin exam. She knew it was horrible, and so did Naruto.

{He's not really going to use that, is he?} Thought Sakura to herself.

"STOP! STOP!" Yelled Sakura once again, hoping they would listen this time.

{He is going to attack me...knowing that my chidori is powerful? What is he up to?} Thought Sasuke, as he continued rushing at Naruto.

{If they really are my precious people, I should protect them at all costs. There has to be a way.} Thought Hinata, with now a determined look on her face.

{They don't listen to Sakura screams but If I...} Thought Hinata, now unfrozen from where she stood.

Naruto and Sasuke were now only a couple of feet from each other, as time seemed to go in slow motion.

"Stop!" Demanded Kakashi, appearing out of nowhere.

Naruto noticed what he was about to do but he could not stop, and neither could Sasuke.

In these short moments Hinata had run at a very fast speed, inserting herself between Naruto and Sasuke.

"Hinata?!" Said Sasuke, is his voice filled with horror as he looked into her beautiful pale eyes.

{No I can't stop!} Thought Sasuke, trying to stop his attack.

"Hinata-Chan!" Shouted Naruto, in a pained voice as he also tried to stop his attack.

In this moment time seemed to speed up and Kakashi managed to grab Sasuke's and Naruto's hands.

But he wasn't fast enough, as blood flew from Hinata as he pushed the boy's hands into objects on the roof.

{Oh no!! I was too late!} Thought Kakashi, shock filling his eyes.

Naruto watched her blood falling from her, as her body was starting to fall to the ground.

Sasuke watched with intensity at her. He never meant for her to get hurt, he only wanted to be with her.

Tears rolled, shamefully, down Naruto's cheeks.

Even Sasuke had tears in his eyes, though no one could notice since they were watching the girl.

But as she hit the ground she turned into a log and a loud thump could be heard.

"Huh?! Kawamiri No jutsu?" Said Naruto, puzzled.

Sasuke wiped his tears.

"Who?" Asked Sasuke, to no one in particular.

And behind them they herd a soft landing of someone's sandals, as they turned around to see who it was.

There stood Neji with Hinata in his arms.

"It seems I made it in time," Said Neji, with a cold voice as he looked down upon Hinata.

"She's ok," Neji simply stated, noticing their pained looks.

"I'm fine also it seems I was fast enough," Said Neji, even though he knew they didn't care about him.

{Thank goodness.} Thought Kakashi.

..................................................

"Neji-Kun?" Asked Hinata, shocked as her eyes blinked open.

"You are pitiful," Said Nej, staring down at her.

"Sorry Neji-Kun," Apologized Hinata, really depressed.

"Let me finish, that didn't come out right." Said Neji with a lighter tone to his voice.

"You might think it was brave of you, but I don't." Stated Neji.

"You are pitiful to try to throw your life away for them," Said Neji, disgusted.

Sasuke glared at Neji with much intensity.

"Neji-Kun, I may be pitiful, but they are my special people, if I did not try, I'd be worse than pitiful," Said Hinata, softly as a blush went across her face.

"Hey...hey what do you mean about 'them'?" Asked Naruto as he glared at Neji.

"Sasuke started it!" Said Naruto, pointing his finger at Sasuke although it wasn't entirely true.

"Sasuke disappointed me, but then again he is an avenger," Said Neji calmly.

"But you, Naruto-Kun, disappointed me the most, I thought at least you would know better," Scoffed Neji.

The sun shone down brightly on the blond's hair, as he tried to break into a run.

But Kakashi grabbed him without effort by the collar.

"Hey brat, think you have fought enough today?" Said Kakashi sarcastically, glaring down at Naruto.

"Let's go now, little sister, it seems they have things to work out here," Said Neji nonchalantly.

Hinata stared into Neji's pale eyes, with shock and disbelief.

For so long she had wanted respect, as maybe a brother and a sister would have.

But after the Chuunin exams, she just started calling him cousin Neji instead of brother.

Hinata just nodded her head at Neji, because she could not speak.

"Wait!" The blond shouted, breaking away from Kakashi.

"I think I can walk now, I don't need to trouble you anymore," Said Hinata softly to Neji.

Neji didn't say a word as he just set Hinata down.

Naruto stood in front of Hinata, his eyes filled with remorse for what almost happened.

"Hinata-Chan...." Said Naruto, as he grabbed both her hands and put them into his, to get her attention.

Naruto eyes were the deepest blue she had ever seen, and they looked most beautiful as they watered up.

Naruto shamefully looked down at the ground.

Sasuke watched the two with an envious look.

"Naruto-Kun..." Said Hinata softly, as her face blushed a shade of bright red.

"I'm sorry," Mumbled Naruto.

"Hinata-Chan, lets get going now," Demanded Neji, impatient.

"Yes Neji-Kun," Said Hinata, worried.

"Naruto-Kun, don't be sorry, it never happened," Whispered Hinata to Naruto, as she broke away from him.

"Hinata-Chan has her own will if she wants to stay, there's nothing you can do," Said Sasuke, antagonized.

"Sasuke-Kun, it's ok, I'm kinda sleepy now," Said Hinata with a sweet smile.

"How about tomorrow we train again?" Suggested Hinata, as she stared down at the ground, with a slight blush across her face.

As she said this Sasuke's face features went from glare to a peaceful look.

"That sounds good," Sasuke replied with a smile.

Naruto just looked back and forth at the two with confusion.

"Hey, did I miss something?" Asked Naruto, annoyed.

"Not a thing," Replied Sasuke.

"What's that Sasuke ?" Naruto started to get annoyed. "Want to fight again?" Asked Naruto, ready for another duel.

Sasuke just ignored him.

"When will you ever learn...some team you are," Kakashi stated coldly.

Neji and Hinata turned to leave.

"Oh yes, one more thing ..." Began Neji, with his back towards Sasuke.

"As of today, you Uchiha Sasuke are not allowed to see or speak to Hyuuga Hinata," Said Neji coldly.

"And who decided that?" Asked Sasuke, angrily.

"By order of the Hyuuga Main house they do not want their good name tainted by yours." Replied Neji, with a small smirk across his face.

Hinata looked up at Neji in shock.

{I see...it's because of those dumb rumors.} Thought Sasuke to himself, secretly wanting to hurt the one responsible for the whole mess.

"Are you sure, Neji-Kun?" Asked Hinata, sadly.

She had just made a new friend, someone she could talk to, after all this, she didn't want to lose him.

Neji just replied by rolling around his eyes, annoyed.

"But...what...about...my...training?" Asked Hinata, stuttering.

"You will just have to train with me. Besides, you would train better with another Hyuuga," Said Neji with an expressionless look.

Hinata moved her finger to her lip nervously.

The last time they had fought she had ended up on the floor coughing up blood.

"Sasuke-Kun, please forgive me, it seems I won't be able to train with you tomorrow," Said Hinata, very apologetic.

Tears then raced down her cheeks but no one saw that, but Neji.

Then Hinata raced down the stairs without another word.

Neji just shrugged his shoulders and made his decent down the stairs as well.

Kakashi noticed now the still crying Sakura.

"It's ok now, Sakura-Chan, it's over," Kakashi assured her.

"Thank you, Kakashi-Sensei," Said Sakura, with a smile, while wiping away her tears.

"Sakura-Chan, can you give me a moment alone with them?" Asked Kakashi.

"Sure," Said Sakura simply, and went down the stairs.

................................................

Kakashi loomed over the two boys, so it was clear he was angry.

How he managed to look so calm while any other would be pulling their hair out was anybody's guess.

"You stupid, idiotic brats!" Kakashi insulted them. "Both of you should be ashamed of yourselves," Said Kakashi, his one visible eye glaring at them.

Naruto looked shamefully down at the ground.

Sasuke just met Kakashi's glare, pretending not to care.

"Not only were you going to kill each other...you could have killed Hinata- Chan!" Continued Kakashi, his blood boiling.

With these words Sasuke diverted his eyes. Try as he may, he could not remain emotionless when thinking of her.

"Let's see...what else...there's a possibility you could have torn down the hospital," Said Kakashi, briefly.

"And then not only be responsible for each others deaths, but quite possibly even more deaths," Finished Kakashi.

Kakashi then remained silent as he looked into the beautiful fluffy white clouds in the sky.

{Why does it have to be like this?} Wondered Kakashi.

A gentle wind brushed by them as they stood there for minutes, in silence.

Naruto looked up at Kakashi with a worried face.

"Kakashi-Sensei...can I go now?" Asked Naruto, breaking the silence.

"Yeah...just remember what I said," Said Kakashi, in a firm but lighter voice.

{If Hinata-Chan really forgave me...and with Sasuke out of the way...maybe she and I can....} Thought Naruto to himself, as he walked down the stairs.

After a few minutes, Sasuke also started his decent but Kakashi's voice stopped him in his tracks.

"Sasuke, I don't know how you feel about Hinata-Chan, but if her family wishes you to stay away..." Began Kakashi.

"Then I should just stay away," Finished Sasuke coldly.

"Right," Replied Kakashi.

"I'm sorry, I don't think it will go that way," Said Sasuke determined.

Sasuke then continued his decent.

{After of all the time it has taken to just know a little about you. Believe this; I won't give up, Hinata-Chan.} Sasuke thought to himself.

Kakashi watched Sasuke leave, with a bored yet serious look on his face.

"Sasuke..." Whispered Kakashi to himself.
