First off, NO FLAMES PLEASE! If you don't like the story, then don't review. My weak heart cannot take the abuse of flamers.
I do not own Naruto nor will I ever…I do wish that I did though!
There will probably be some grammar mistake so don't hate me for it, please.
Lastly, please review. I live for reviews!
You Scratch My Back, I'll Scratch Yours – Chapter Three Help Me!
Inside the Village SquareSasuke and Hinata looked at one another with confuse faces.
'What does he mean I'm perfect?' She thought while staring at his onyx eyes.
'What does she mean I'm perfect?' He thought as he stared at her pearl like eyes.
They gaze into each other's eyes, not realizing that Sasuke's arms are still wrapped around Hinata. What felt like hours was really only a few minutes.
By looking at them, one would think that the two were sharing a loving moment, but that is not the case for these two. One can almost hear a clicking sound in the air caused by the wheels that are turning inside both of their heads.
Forgetting about their pervious question, they both pulled apart from their embrace. Taking a huge breath, they prepared to speak to one another.
"I need your help." They both said.
"What?" They both asked.
" I said I need your help." They explained.
They stood on the street in the glow of the streetlight, looking at one another in confusion. They both waited for the other to speak seeing as though they didn't want to speak over the other person once again.
"W- w- what do you n- need he- help for, Sasuke-san?" Hinata asked as she sat on the same bench that she recently left.
"Well, I wanted to ask if you…I mean if you want to…that is…" Sasuke stuttered as he sat besides her gazing at the empty street.
"Y- yes, Sasuke-san?" She asked while gazing at her lap.
He sighed heavily as he didn't anticipate that it would be so hard to ask someone to be your fake girlfriend.
He stared at her once again.
'She's perfect for my plan. She quiet, which is a plus. She's not like my crazed fan girls, which is another plus. She's sweet and clam and quite pretty. I feel as though she would be easy to get along with then the other girls in Konoha. How am I suppose to ask her to do something like this for me?' Sasuke told himself as he stared at her lips as it moved. He finally realized that Hinata asked him a question.
"What?" He asked.
Hinata moved her head lower so that her hair covered her face to hide the embarrassing blush that she held.
"I- I asked if you w- would pretend to- to be my boy- boy- boyfriend." She stuttered out quietly.
He sat there shocked at what Hinata asked of him.
"Your boyfriend?" He asked.
Hinata took his question the wrong way and began to back out of her plan quickly.
"Ne- never mind. I- I don't know wh- what I was saying." She said quickly as she got up for the bench and ran off quickly towards her home.
Sasuke didn't have time to stop her as she ran away from him as though the depths of hell were nipping at her feet.
"Wait! Hinata-san, wait!" He yelled, but it only fell on deaf ears. She was too far away for her to hear him.
"Damn it! Why didn't I say something! This worked out in my favor and all I could do was ask her a stupid question!" He yelled out to the empty street.
He ran to the direction that Hinata took and tried to catch up to her before she entered her home. He knew that this was the only time that he could see her since she always hung with her teammates and her cousin, and it would be a cold day in hell before he would humiliate himself before her weird teammates or her equally weird relative.
He felt the wind flowing near his cheeks as he jumps from tree branch to tree branch. He finally spotted her walking two blocks away from her home. He finally jumped out in front of her.
"AHHHHH!" She screamed as he started her and caused her to fall on her behind.
He looked at her with shocked eyes.
'You would think that a Hyuuga would have seen me from miles away.' He thought as he held his hand out to help her up.
Hinata gazed at his hand in surprise. She never thought that Sasuke would be the type to help someone that he barely knew.
"Thank you." She said as she took his hand. Finally off the ground, she began to walk around Sasuke's body, only to be blocked by his arm.
"Wait. Were you serious when you asked me to be you boyfriend?" He asked as he stared at her face.
"N- not boyfriend. Fa- fake boyfriend." She said quietly.
"That's what I figured. I wasn't going to be disgusted or anything, Hinata-san. I was just shocked that you would ask me the very same thing that I was going to ask you." He explained.
She looked at his face in surprise.
"You we- were going to- to ask me to be yo- your fake girlfriend?" She asked, as her eyes widen.
"Yes." He said stonily.
"Why?" She asked innocently.
He walked towards a tree and began to lean on it. With a sigh, he glances at her again.
"You know my fan girls, right?" He said. He continued once he saw her nod.
"Well, they have been more troublesome lately. They stalk me, they break my windows, and they break into my house and so on and so forth. It's really annoying. I figured that if I had a girlfriend, that they would back off." He explained.
"But Sasuke-san. Wou- wouldn't they be- be after me if- if they think that- that I'm your girl- girlfriend?" She asked.
"No. From what I have seen, everyone likes you. You made quite a reputation for yourself as the girl with no enemy. You use to have one enemy, but you and your cousin seem to be in good terms now." He said as he looked towards the Hyuuga mansion.
"So- so you figure that the- the girls would feel gu- guilty if they hurt me to- to be with you?" She asked.
"Yes. If they don't then I would be there to protect you." He said.
He turns his gaze at her, as she was deep in thought.
"If you don't mind me asking, why do you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?" He asked.
She blushed as he asked her that question. He raised his eyebrow at her reaction.
"Well, it's be- because of this boy I- I like. He ne- never seems to -to notice me. We're o- okay as friends, but- but I want it to be- be more then a- a common friendship. I knew that I- I had two options. One is to- to forget about hi- him and two is to- to make him jealous. I fig- figured that the op- option number t- two would be better th- then option number one." She said as she stared at the ground.
His eyebrow rose a little higher at her confession.
"So by having me as your boyfriend, you think that Naruto would notice you." He said.
'How did he know that it was Naruto-kun?' She thought as her eyes widen the second time this night.
Sasuke laughed inwardly at her widen eyes.
"H- how did you know th- that it's Naruto-kun?" She asked.
"I have my ways." He said.
'It's so obvious that she likes the dobe. He is the only one in Konoha that doesn't know of her affection for him…she deserves better then that baka, but it isn't really my business who she likes or who she will eventually end up with.' He thought as he pushes himself away from the tree.
"Is there any other reason why you think I would make a good candidate to make that baka jealous?" He asked.
"W-well, you two are al- always competing with each o- other. I th- thought that Naruto-kun would notice me when I'm a- around you since you and h-him are around each o- other a lot. If I were to g- go with someone else th- then he wouldn't no- notice me at all. You al- also have a way of ma-making Naruto jealous of o- other things so I- I figured that you would be per- perfect for the job." She honestly said to him.
He had to agree with her on her logic. The dobe did do all those things when he was around.
'It probably doesn't hurt that I'm good looking and stronger than him too. Having Hinata with him would probably make Naruto crazy since he knew that whatever he had, Naruto wanted. Hinata might get what she wants from all of this.' He thought.
For some strange reason, a part of his body felt uneasy when he thought of Naruto and Hinata together. He just ignored it since he thought that it might be the cause of hunger since all he ate for dinner was a rice ball.
'I really need to eat something else beside rice balls. It's getting tiring to eat the same old thing everyday.' He thought.
He walked towards her and stood before her. He was a good five inches taller then her so she had to move her head back to stare at his eyes.
"So, it seems that our destiny is intertwine. How bout it, Hinata-san? Do you want to go through with our plan?" He asked.
She stood there staring at his eyes. He seemed emotionless, yet she could she how desperate he was. Even though his body didn't show it, she could see it in his eyes. Her mother and her cousin Neji always told her that you can tell a lot of things just by looking into someone's eyes.
"O- okay." She said.
He grins in victory. He can almost see the fan girls leaving Konoha for good.
"W- when should w- we start?" She asked Sasuke.
He thought for a moment before he answered her.
"How about we meet up at my apartment tomorrow morning at dawn to plan out on what we need to do to look like a real couple. Is that okay with you, Hinata-san?" He asked as he shoved his hands in his pockets.
"Th- that seems good to m-me." She said.
"Until then, Hinata-san." He said as he left to his apartment.
She stared at his retreating back until she couldn't she the outline of his body anymore.
"Was that smart of you to join with Uchiha in this little plan of yours?" A voice said from behind her.
"Yes, I believe so. It can't hurt to try and find out if it would succeed, right. Anyway, I'm not going to give up once I start on something. You and I both know that it's not the Hyuuga way." She said back to the voice behind her.
"I'm surprised. You seem to never stutter anymore when you're around me. You do know that if you want for people to believe that you're his girlfriend, you have to stop stuttering when you talk to him." The voice said.
"Yes, I know. I guess I will have to practice on that." She said.
"I'm telling you now that in the end of this façade, you will not end up with Uzamaki. Uchiha will be given the gift of having his fan girls off his back, but you will end up with someone you never thought you would ever end up with." The voice said.
"How do you know this?" She said quietly.
The figure walked in front of her and smiled a knowing smile.
"Because Hinata-sama, it is not in your destiny to end up with Naruto Uzamaki." Neji said while grinning as he also stared at the path the Uchiha took.
