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 Five Sasuke, What Are You Doing!
Inside the Hyuuga Mansion
'Hmm, I hope that she remembered that we are suppose to start our plan at approximately 8:00 a.m. today. I probably shouldn't have come an hour and a half early, but I feel that we must practice some hand holding and maybe some… hugging so that it wont be a surprise later.' Sasuke thought as he stood in front of the gate entrance of the Hyuuga mansion.
He knocked on the gate door and waited for a few minutes before the gate was finally pulled open. Expecting it to be Hinata, since she did tell him that she was the only one awake at this time, he grabbed her soft hand and began to pull her out towards the village without looking at her attire.
There was a little resistance on her part, but Sasuke still tugged her as much as he could.
'She must be nervous.' He thought as he continued to pull her away from the gate.
Seeing as she didn't budge, he decided to do something else as she pulled her hand away from him.
'Man, Hinata must be as strong as me if she can pull away from my grip like that.' He thought as he decided to push her against the tree gently and talk her out of her nervous stupor.
He looked up to meet pearl-white eyes and shiny, flowing hair. Flawless white skin was dust with a speck of sunlight, as pink lips were pulled back into a grin.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! What the fuck do you think you're doing, Neji? You almost gave me a heart attack!" He screamed.
"Why, whatever do you mean? You're the one who pulled me out here. I tried to stop you, you know." Neji said as he grinned at Sasuke.
Sasuke glared at him since he knew he couldn't deny that he did grab Neji, thinking that he was Hinata.
Neji pushed himself away from the tree and walked a few steps to the gate.
"I didn't know that you were like that, Uchiha, but it does explain why you always deny those fan girls of yours. I'm very flattered, but I don't swing that way." Neji said as he stepped aside to allow Sasuke to enter the Hyuuga grounds.
Sasuke stood were he was and turned red with anger.
"What the hell do you mean!? I'm not gay, and even if I were gay, I would not choose you, you feminine, destiny obsessed mama's boy!" He screamed as he stomped pass Neji towards the front door to the main mansion.
"What! I'm not feminine nor am I a mama's boy, you rooster haired, brother obsessed prick!" Screamed Neji as he shoved Sasuke aside so that he could open the mansion door.
"I do not have rooster hair. Anyway, at least people know that I'm a guy at first glance. When people see you, they have to look for the Adams apple to know that you're a guy, and sometimes they don't even know then! You shouldn't be throwing stones, Hyuuga! It takes a prick to know a prick!" Said Sasuke calmly as he shoved Neji back for shoving him earlier.
Neji lead Sasuke to the living room as they glared at one another for the earlier comments.
Sasuke sat down on the couch while Neji stood a few feet before him with his arms cross.
"You know, Uchiha, I never said that I wasn't a prick. Practically everyone knows that I am. At least I admit it. It would do you good to tell the rest of the village about you sexual preference." Neji said as he grinned.
Sasuke stood up from the couch and pushed Neji to a wall while fisting his fingers in Neji's jacket.
"Please, Uchiha, I know you can't control yourself when you're around me, but do stop touching me." Neji said jokingly.
"Shut the hell up, Hyuuga! Why can't you be silent like the other times that I first met you?" Sasuke said as he glared at Neji angrily.
Neji pushed Sasuke away from him as he shoved Sasuke to the same wall that he was previously trapped in.
"That was before you started using my cousin for your asinine plan." Neji said as he too glared at Sasuke with anger in his eyes.
Neji wasn't angry with Sasuke because of the plan, but for the probability that Hinata might get hurt emotionally when she is conflicted with her liking towards Sasuke and Naruto. Neji loves her like a little sister now, and he didn't want her to get hurt if he had any say in it. He hurt her greatly a few months ago, and he needed to make amends for that.
Sasuke calmed down when he heard Neji speak. He could understand why Neji was breaking his ego down. Sasuke knew that Neji couldn't hit him unless it was for a very good reason; so hurting his pride was the next best thing. Seeing as it was Hinata who was involved, he could understand why Neji wanted to protect her. Who wouldn't want to protect her? Her face and presences just screams, "protect me".
"I guess you found out about our plan. Did she tell you?" Sasuke asked as he felt Neji loosen his hold on him.
Neji shook his head from side to side as both he and Sasuke walked towards the couch and sat down.
"I overheard you both talking two days ago." Neji replied.
"I see…you do know that I meant what I said to her. I will protect her if anything happens." He said as he looked towards the living room table.
He saw a magazine that was titled "Better Homes and Garden" which had the picture of the very same living room that he was sitting in. On closer inspection, there was a title for an article labeled, "Inside the Hyuuga Mansion."
He looked over to the white-eyed boy as he heard him sigh heavily.
"That's not why I'm worried for her. She can protect herself if needed be." He said as he leaned his head on the back of the couch as he closed his eyes.
"Then why are you giving me so much grief if you know she can protect herself?" Asked Sasuke as he stared at the other boy.
Neji opened his eyes and stared at the other male with no facial expression.
"That really isn't any of you business, Uchiha." Neji said as he glared down at Sasuke.
"The hell it isn't! You might as well tell me if we are going to see each other so much since I am Hinata's boyfriend." He said.
"Fake boyfriend, remember that, Uchiha." Neji said sternly.
"Whatever. Just tell me already." Sasuke said as he glared even harder at Neji.
Neji got up from the couch and walked towards one of the living room windows. He gazed out into the distance towards the birds that flew across the sky.
"Hinata…she isn't as strong as you think she is." He said.
"What do you mean, Hyuuga? You just said that she could protect herself if needed be." Sasuke replied.
Neji looked back towards Sasuke as if he was the stupidest person he ever met.
"That isn't what I meant. She is strong, but she is week emotionally. I don't mean in confidence because she has gotten better for that, but I meant in relationship wise." Neji exclaimed.
"What do you mean? She will end up with Naruto in the end; so don't worry about her emotions because she's not going to get hurt. She will end up with him." Sasuke replied confidently.
Neji stared at him as if he was looking right through him.
"Is she?" He said as he walked towards the door.
Sasuke didn't know what to say to Neji. What was he to say?
'She will end up with the dobe…won't she?' He thought as he looked at Neji as Neji stood near the door and packed his backpack.
'He's freaky, that Neji Hyuuga. It's like he can see into the future sometimes.' Sasuke thought as he still continued to stare at Neji.
"You shouldn't stare at people when their backs are turn, especially if they are male. And you wonder why I thought you were gay. Is my backside so tight that you just can't help but looks at it?" Neji said as he turned around to stare at Sasuke.
"You with your lame jokes. And you wonder why I thought you were gay." He said as he looked out the window. He figured that the time was 7 o'clock now since more sunlight could be seen outside.
Neji let Sasuke's comment fall off his back as be started to open the door.
"Tell Hinata that I said to be careful. She will need it when she's with you." Neji said as he walked out the door to join his teammates in the forest.
Sasuke ignored Neji's last comment and began to get off the couch. He walked into a hallway and then up a flight of stairs. On the second floor, he saw another hallway. He began to walk through it assuming that this floor held the bedrooms.
'She said that her bedroom faced the streets so her room must be at the end of the hallway.' He thought as he walked the rest of the way to her room. As he stopped at the end of the hallway, he saw two doors across from each other. He didn't know which one was her bedroom, so he just entered the door on his left assuming that it was her room.
As he opened the door, his eyes fell on Hinata's body. Water droplets were clinging to her skin as she was dabbing her body with a towel. Her blue-black hair clung to her face in a seductive messy hairstyle, until she started to dry her hair with another towel.
He let his eyes wonder to her chest and notice how ample it was for a twelve year old who would be turning thirteen in a few months.
'She was hiding all that in her bulky clothes?' Sasuke thought as he still stared at Hinata's petite form.
'She sure is tone.' He thought as he saw a little muscle on her arms, and stomach.
'…Very nice.' He thought, until he smacked his forehead when he realized that he was ogling her. He knew that him staring at her was indecent and wrong, but what he didn't know was that his nose was bleeding and that the smack on his forehead made a much louder sound then he anticipated.
Hinata stopped drying her hair when she heard a smack a few feet away from her. As she lowered the towel, she was met with a raven-haired male with a handprint on his forehead, who was also bleeding on her tiled floor.
He was, he was staring right at her.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" She screamed as she threw her towel at his face and pushed him hard out the door.
What she didn't know was that when she pushed him, he slammed right into the door across the bathroom into her room. He landed on the bed where she laid out her clothing for today. When he got up, his head was covered with something. As he grabbed the lacy item off of his head, he heard the door from the bathroom open. Still clutching the cloth, he turned around and saw Hinata in a short bathrobe. She had on a shocked face as she saw what Sasuke was holding.
"Sasuke-kun, what are you doing with my un- underwear." She said shockingly.
'Underwear?' He thought as he stared at the item in his hand. As he focuses his dark eyes to the cloth, he notices a pair of delicate, white panties in his hand.
He stared at Hinata's red face, then he stared at the panties, then at Hinata's face, and then the panties.
He threw the panties towards the bed and turned his body away from Hinata. His face was redder then Gaara's hair.
"Hinata-chan. I…that is…I didn't mean to- to touch your panties." He stuttered as he looked towards his feet.
'Damn it! She probably thinks I'm a huge pervert or something!' He thought as he prepared himself for a slap in the face. Not only did he touch her panties, but he also saw her naked as well. What's even worst is that when he saw her naked, he was staring at her body for a while instead of running out of there when he saw her.
When the slap didn't come, he turns around to face nothing but an empty room. He looked towards the bed and notice the clothing was missing as well.
"Sasuke-kun, what were you doing in my bathroom earlier?" Hinata said calmly, while she stared at Sasuke from the opening of the doorway.
He sat on her bed and ran his hand through his hair.
"I thought that the bathroom was your bedroom." He said truthfully.
"Oh. Did you…did you see anything?" She asks as she blushed and touched her pointed fingers together.
He looked at her and notices how embarrassed she was.
'It might be better to lie so she can feel at ease with me.' He thought.
"No, I didn't see anything, Hinata-chan." He lied as he stared at her.
Hinata's blush went away as he said that. The blush returned when she remembered him with her panties.
"Um, Sasuke-kun. Why were you touching my panties?" She asked innocently.
He blush a little bit as he replied.
"It was an accident. When you pushed me out the bathroom, I fell through the door and onto your bed. It was on my head so I took it off and then you entered the room. You know the rest." He said as his blush finally died down.
"Oh, okay." She said.
They were silent for a few minutes until Sasuke broke the ice.
"Um, Hinata-chan. Why didn't you lock the bathroom door." He asked since he thought that it was common sense to look it.
"There are no locks on the bathroom doors." She said quietly.
He looked shocked.
"Why not?" He asked in curiosity.
"You see, the Hyuuga mansion has many bathrooms. Across each bedroom lies a bathroom for each occupant. We figured that locks weren't needed since everyone has a bathroom for themselves so no unexpected interruptions would happen." She said calmly.
"Oh, okay. That makes sense." He said as he looked at her face.
"Do you want to leave now to get some breakfast?" She said to him as she gave him a sweet smile.
He nodded and got off her bed. As she went in search for something in her closet, he took his time observing the room.
The room was surprisingly simple. The room is filled with a bed with a wooden headboard with white sheets; a wooden desk covered with dried herbs and jars, a wooden chair and a two picture frames. One frame held a picture of Hinata's team. The other frame held two small pictures. One was a picture of Neji and her as children and another was a recent picture of her and Neji.
As he looked towards Hinata, he realized that she still hasn't found what she was looking for.
"What are you searching for, Hinata-chan?" He asked as he walked towards her form.
"I'm searching for my purse. We are going to get breakfast right, Sasuke-kun?" She said as she continued to search for her purse.
He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the closet.
"I'm paying, Hinata-chan. I am you boyfriend and all." He said as he walked out her room and down the stairs towards the living room.
"But Sasuke-kun, you don't have to." She said as she put on her sandals once he let her hand go.
He took her hand once again and began to pull her out the mansion and out the gate. They stopped at the tree that he pushed Neji against earlier.
"Remember, Hinata-chan, that is what boyfriends do for their girlfriends. Don't worry too much about money. I have lots of it." He said as he stared into her pearl eyes.
"I'm not worried about money. I just don't want you to waste any of yours." She said quietly as she looked away from him.
He grinned at her as he realized that Hinata was the type of girl that probably doesn't like to be smothered with materialistic things.
'I'm not surprised. She probably the type to prefer extra affection then an extra pair of diamond earrings.' He thought as he allowed his eyes to soften without him knowing it.
Hinata didn't see his eyes as she was focusing on her short skirt. She seen the girls with their boyfriends and notice that they all dressed in nice, short clothing, so she decided to do that also. TenTen gave her a lot of clothes for her birthday long ago before Neji started to like her again. She figured that TenTen gave her the stylish clothing because she felt sorry that Neji treated her so badly.
She wore a short plaid skirt that showed a little of her thigh. She also wore a white, short sleeve, button up shirt that covered her stomach until she stretched, then a little of her stomach would be exposed. She still wore the same ninja sandals, since she felt that she would need them just in case she had to do some running.
Sasuke allowed himself to look at Hinata's attire. He had to admit that Hinata looked very exotic with her pearl eyes and curvy body.
'Man, she is the only twelve year old I know that looks like that.' He thought was he continued to observe her.
He notice that even though her skirt showed a little thigh, she still held an aura of innocence around her. He also remembered that when he fell on her clothing that she laid out a small pair of shorts to wear underneath the skirt. Her innocence and modesty pleased him.
"You look…nice, Hinata-chan." He said as he looked away from her.
She looked up from her skirt and stared at Sasuke's face. She gave him a small smile, even though he couldn't see it.
"Thank you, Sasuke-kun." She said quietly.
He looked back at her and reached out to hold her hand.
"Lets get some breakfast." He said as he led her to a small café slash restaurant in the village square.
Inside the Village Square
"Hey, Forehead Girl, what are you doing here?" Ino yelled out to Sakura from across the street.
Ino walked towards Sakura to give her a large grin.
A vein appeared on Sakura's forehead as she heard Ino's annoying voice.
"Hello, Ino pig. I was coming back from the market place and was heading home. What are you doing here?" Sakura said as she grins at Ino's angered face.
"I was getting some food from the street vender." Ino said between her teeth.
"Whatever, Ino pig. I have to go home now. My mother needs her tomatoes." She said as she began to walk away from Ino.
She stopped walking when she saw a small crowd that was gathered around a restaurant with a side café from across the street. Actually, it wasn't a small crowd, but a very large crowd filled with a few grown ups and a lot of teenaged girls and boys.
She turns to Ino and saw her staring at the crowd as well. Ino turn to look at Sakura and then they both walked to where the crowd was. As everyone in Konoha knew, Ino and Sakura were the most nosy girls in the world.
"Can you see anything, Ino pig?" Sakura said as she tried to jump a little to see over a man's shoulder.
"Would you stop calling me that, Forehead girl? I don't see anything. What are they looking at?" Ino said as she tried to squeeze into the crowd and failed.
"Oh, honey! Aren't they cuter then the two kids we saw yesterday?" A woman said to her husband as she watched two teenagers sitting close to one another as they ate breakfast that included juice, eggs, toast and some sausage.
"Yes, my dear. They are much handsomer then the two that we saw yesterday at the Market Place." The man said to his wife.
"Oh, she is so beautiful…breathtaking even! She is so cute!" A voice was heard somewhere in the crowd.
"Look at the boy. He is sinfully good looking for his age. He sure picked the right girl as his girlfriend." Another voice was heard in the crowd.
"Who do you think they are talking about, Ino?" Sakura asked as she still couldn't see the couple that everyone was talking about.
'I bet they won't be as cute as Sasuke and I when we are finally together.' Sakura thought as she smiled dreamily.
"I don't know, Sakura. I can't see anything." Ino yelled out.
More voices of adoration of the couple from the grown ups could be heard, however, Ino and Sakura realized that not everyone was happy to see the unknown couple. Some of the teenaged girls were glaring into the café.
"I can't believe it! What is she doing with my man!?" A blonde yelled.
"Your man? He's my man!" A red head yelled.
"I can't believe that girl snagged him?" A brunet said.
"What are you talking about? He probably snagged her." A male voice said from inside the crowd.
"Yeah! He probably used her innocent nature against her, that weasel." Another male said.
"Watch what you say about him you fag!" Another blonde yelled.
"You watch what you way you harlot!" A brunet male said.
"How could Hinata fall for a guy like that?" A silver haired boy yelled out.
"Hinata?!" Ino and Sakura said loudly in disbelief.
"Hinata has a boyfriend?" Ino said in jealousy.
'I can't believe she got a boyfriend before me.' Ino thought as she tried to see who Hinata's boyfriend was.
"She's so lucky. I wish Sasuke-kun would ask me out so that we can be boyfriend and girlfriend." Sakura said as her eyes sparkle with dreamy eyes.
"In your dreams, Forehead girl. Sasuke-kun in going to be with me!" Ino yelled in Sakura's face.
"No your not, Ino pig." Sakura seethe.
"Yes, I am!" Ino screamed.
"No your not!" Sakura yelled.
"Yes I am!" Ino shouted.
"Oh, look. She is feeding him." A woman said in adoration as she saw the teenagers "private" moment.
"AWWWWW! They are so cute!" Another voice said.
"Damn it! Who does she think she is feeding Sasuke-kun like that!?" One of the girls yelled.
"Sasuke-kun?" Ino and Sasuke said disbelievingly.
"MOVE OUT OF MY WAY!" They both yelled.
The crowd parted for the two psychotic girls and allowed them to stare at the window that they were gazing at.
As they reach the window, their eyes popped out of their sockets. There they saw their beloved Sasuke-kun being fed by a shy, yet different looking Hinata. Not only was he being fed, he had one arm wrapped around her waist as well. He was…he was giving Hinata a small smile.
"THIS CAN'T BE!" They screamed.
Sasuke and Hinata continued as though they didn't hear the commotion outside, but of course the two did hear them since the glass was only half an inch thick and the people outside have voices that can hurt even a deaf man.
"You are doing great, Hinata-chan." He said as he was given another spoon full of eggs from her.
Inwardly, he was enjoying being fed by Hinata.
'Man, who knew that Hinata also had a little fan club?' He thought as he can feel the jealous glares directed at him from the males outside.
"Thank you, Sasuke-kun." She said as she allowed herself a bit of toast.
Their plan was working without a hitch. Some of the fan girls left the crowd already and the grown ups seem to disappear as well.
"The dobe isn't here yet. I guess we have to start going to the Ichiraku Ramen Bar if we want him to see us together." He whispered to her so no one else would hear.
"I agree." She said as she smiled at him for the girls outside to see.
"Well, I'm glad that no problems erupted. Our plan is going smoothly." He said as he smiled at her for the girls outside to see.
"SASUKE-KUN!" Screamed Ino and Sakura from the doorway of the café.
'I shouldn't have open my big mouth.' He thought as he sighed heavily.
Note: I only got four reviews for chapter four and I have to say that I was greatly sadden by it, until a few people told me that something was wrong with the review button. I hate that review button! It does that a lot when I try to review for other fics! Lets all get together so we can kill the review button! Look at it! LOOK AT IT! Look how it's just sitting down there, staring at us, laughing at us! Who does it think it is! I see you review button! I see you down there! Work damn it! Work!!!!!!!!!!!
…Anyway, hope you enjoyed this chapter. Did you notice that each chapter gets longer and longer? I just love this fic. I guess that is why I update so quickly for it. Thanks for your great reviews, especially the longs ones. I love reading those.
Lastly, about the scene with Sasuke seeing Hinata naked and Hinata not yelling at him, well I feel that Hinata is the type of person to listen to someone before she yells at them just in case it was an accident or something. I assume she won't be like the other girls who would hit people and call them perverts, but of course I won't say names…cough Sakura cough. That's all for now. Bye Bye!
