Gray Pearl
by Jasmine Starlight
Full summary: Black- adj. opposite of white, dark; without light. White- adj. innocence, opposite of black, absence of color. To Hyuuga Hinata, the world couldn't be painted in two different colors. But she didn't mind, she knew where she stood, she was white and he black. But when black and white mix, no one can go back, no matter how hard they try. Sasu/Hina
My second Naruto fic, I love this anime, go easy on me.
CHAPTER TWO
SASUKE'S SECRET PLAN
Sasuke's brilliant plan was going well; he was avoiding Hinata at all costs.
Even at the cost of his sanity.
He was going crazy, using rooftops and hiding in bushes, this was getting ridiculous.
And it was making Sasuke horny- er… hormonally-attracted.
His plan was backfiring!
This wasn't supposed to be happening, he was supposed to go into seclusion, train, not think about Hinata, and everything would be peachy.
Jiraiya would go on peeping in the bath houses.
Iruka-sensei would go on feeding Naruto ramen.
Tsunade-sama would still lose atrociously in cards or anything else for that matter.
Kakashi-sensei would still read Icha Icha Paradise.
Sakura would still have pink hair.
And Hinata would still be a total BABE!
Shitfuck!
Did that mean his hormones were finally kicking in?
Would he start wearing a mask and read Icha Icha Paradise and be three hours late to everything he did?
Would he start molesting unknowing-brown-haired-Chuunin-senseis?
Or would he start writing Icha Icha Paradise porno?
Would he become a warty-old-geezer-ero-sennin, who blatantly denied any sexual attachment to an incorrigible-gambling-old-lady-who-would-not-let-the-fact-that-her-youth-was-gone-stop-her-from-looking-like-a-prostitute?
Or would he become a pale-psychopathic-pedophilic-stalker-with-a-penchant-towards-reptiles-and-little-boys-and-indetured-servants-who-had-an-ambigious-intent?
Fuck!
Things had gotten worse, he was thinking in BOLD CAPITAL letters. That never happened!
Never!
Well, there was that one time in Lightning Country where he had--- and then there was that time with Naruto--- but that was beside the point!
It wasn't right.
Sasuke didn't even get why he was so invested.
They didn't have that much in common.
She was a Hyuuga.
He was an Uchiha.
She had the Byakugan.
He had the Sharingan.
She had white eyes.
He had black.
Now that he thought about it, Hinata's eyes looked like glimmering white pearl, which complimented her peach colored skin, and made her dark hair stand out.
AHHHHH!
He was doing it again!
When obviously he'd much rather be doing her.
GWAH!
£¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤£
Hinata for the most part was doing much better than Sasuke, mostly because she hadn't gone from emotionally-fucked-up to hormonally-invested in five seconds flat.
It was also because; she seemed to be making more progress in her training.
After her meeting with her old cell, Akamaru had gotten so big, and some advice from Kurenai-sensei and oddly Anko-san, who she suspected had been recruited by the Hokage to give her some tips.
She had always worked on her Juuken, and other normal ninja techniques, like shuriken throwing, trap wires, explosive tags, kunai accuracy, and stuff like that.
Anko-san had suggested that she try learning Konoha's signature techniques, to challenge her.
She also needed to work less with her Juuken and more on her basic taijustu.
And most important, her endurance, which was shamefully low; to remedy that she had to do Lee style training, running around the village, pushups, sit ups, crunches, squats, and etc.
After consulting Lee, who brought along Gai-sensei, they had worked out a regimen for her.
Nothing too rough, it would be a gradual transition, meanwhile, before her endurance training got to demanding, Hinata was to master the Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu.
It would be hard work; Anko-san had advised her to find someone who had already mastered the technique.
And the person, who had mastered the technique to its fullest potential, was no other than Uchiha Sasuke.
With the Jounin exams approaching steadily on the horizon, Hinata had to be able to utilize any and every technique she already had or had time to learn.
So, it was time to suck it up and talk to Sasuke.
He wasn't all that scary.
Was he?
£¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤£
Hinata leant against a side of a building, panting heavily, and hands on her knees as she slouched over.
She grasped at her chest, why was he such a evasive person?
You see, after her (now) daily laps around Konoha, she had sought out Sasuke.
Bad idea.
She had ended up chasing him all over the village.
Sasuke seemed to be in a hurry, as he dashed over rooftops and through trees and under bushes.
Hinata had a nagging feeling he knew she was following him and was giving chase to tick her off.
She stood up and squared her shoulders, she wasn't going to give up that easily, she needed him to train her.
And may the Raikage strike her dead with a lightning bolt; he was going to train her.
Even if she had to, curse at him.
£¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤£
Sasuke knew he was being followed.
And he knew whose chakra signature it was.
So he ran.
It wasn't as if he was afraid of Hinata, he was afraid of what he would say to Hinata.
You see, our young Uchiha is afraid that he would start stuttering like aforementioned Hyuuga if he got anywhere near her, at this point.
So he ran over rooftops, weaved through trees, dove under bushes, well you get the point right?
He knew at one point he would have to eventually stop.
He was trying not to think about that eventuality.
He was hoping against all hopes that she would tire before he did, which was unusual in itself because Sasuke never hoped for anything.
Unless you count that time when he had hoped to get a nin dog for his 5th birthday and ended up getting a shuriken set--- or that time he wanted to wear a mask like Kakashi's to look cool or rather cooler--- or that time he had wanted Itachi to--- but that's beside the point.
In his jumbled thoughts, Sasuke had run into a tree branch.
THWACK!
Anime style, he slid down the tree and dropped onto the forest floor.
Kuso. Kuso. Kuso.
He was limping away when she attacked.
£¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤£
Hinata kept her pace with the fleeing Uchiha, she was waiting for the moment when he lagged in his speed.
Even the slightest, minute difference, she would notice and then she would pounce.
Unfortunately for Sasuke's ego, Hinata saw his rendezvous with the tree's appendage.
Unluckily for Sasuke, she caught up to him when he was limping away, jumping down from the treetops, she sped up and tackled him to the ground.
Now, Sasuke being the annoyingly good shinobi he is, acted on instinct and immediately turned the tables, so he was on top of Hinata now.
Hinata lost all the nerve she had accumulated over the last five seconds and returned to blushing furiously.
Sasuke, on the other hand, was very dazed, what had just happened here?
First he had run into a tree branch. Check.
Then he had fallen to the floor. Check.
Then he had started to limp away. Check.
What had happened after that?
Then he had ended up on top of her because he was such a good shinobi!
Fuck!
£¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤£
Hinata was feeling very odd right now.
Her face was heating up to epic proportions, her palms were sweating buckets, and there was this feeling in her stomach that she hadn't felt since---oh no!
It couldn't be.
Could it?
But it was.
Hinata felt like running away and hiding in a hole in the ground and then making that hole explode, with her in it, mind you.
Sasuke, on the other hand, was having a hard time thinking at all.
He was only 18, after all.
The blood wasn't exactly rushing to his head right now.
£¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤£
Hinata blushed furiously as she recounted her "ordeal" to TenTen, Ino and Sakura.
Originally she had only recruited TenTen to help her with her "problem" but then TenTen had called Ino to laugh about it, who had then called Sakura, who couldn't believe that Sasuke had ran into a tree and then she burst into laughter, and then they had met her at a tea shop to mull things over.
She fiddled with her napkin distractedly as the other three girls dominated the conversation.
"He must really like you."
"He should ask you out!"
"He ran into a tree! HAHAHAH!" yes Sakura was still stuck the part where Sasuke ran into a tree.
"Maybe we should help you guys get together, then you could go steady and then you could get married and have little Hinatas and Sasukes and of course you would have to name one of them Ino, because I helped you get together!" She exclaimed dreamily.
Hinata's eyes widened, "W-what do y-you m-mean-n m-married-d!" she sputtered.
TenTen quickly assuaged Hinata's fears, "I don't you have to marry him, right Ino?" she asked forcefully.
Ino nodded absently. Sakura was still prone to giggles, and Hinata wanted to climb under the table.
TenTen quickly took charge of the situation; "You should at least go talk to him." she prodded gently.
Hinata's face colored even more, "I was supposed to ask him to help me a technique." she mumbled.
"That's why you tackled him." said Sakura in realization.
Hinata nodded quickly, Sakura bent her head and began relaying a plan, "You see, you have to go to…."
£¤§¤§¤§¤§¤§¤£
Naruto was surprised when he was the first one to show up for the dinner that Team 7 had planned, he knew Kakashi-sensei wouldn't be here for another half-hour or so, but where were Sakura and Sasuke?
A horrible thought hit Naruto.
Maybe they were on a date.
And they didn't want to show up for the dinner because that would cut in on their making out time.
How could they?
He had known them for years but he never would have thought that Sasuke would finally surrender to Sakura's feminine wiles.
He had always thought Sasuke was gay, and would eventually end up with Neji so they could be angsty together.
Before Sasuke had come along, Neji had been the angstiest nin in the village, maybe there was some resentment there.
Seriously, those two were a match made in heaven (for Naruto, who personally preferred Gaara, but no one knew about that yet), they could both "Hn" until the cows came home, they were both assholes, nice when they felt like it, and they were both horrendously pale.
They were.
And if Naruto hadn't known them for so long, he would run away screaming "THE SUN! THEY NEED THE SUN!AHHH!"
But Naruto had at least that much tact.
Naruto briefly wondered if he had time to track down Iruka-sensei and eat several bowls of ramen before everyone showed up.
Then he pushed that out of his mind, he would hit up Iruka-sensei for ramen tomorrow before he requested for another mission.
Maybe one to sand?
Naruto didn't have that much self-control.
Then he could make Gaara get him ramen too!
Oh, this would be awesome, then after ramen he could drag Gaara off to the hot springs to wash all the sand off, and then, that's when he would strike!
With what, Naruto wasn't sure yet, he just knew it was fun to play pranks on Gaara, especially since he was so cute when he got angry.
END
R.K.R- I thank you.
Ziz- They are such a cute couple to write, and hilarious too.
sacred-alliance- I do try
lems- I am.
Scented-Candles- It is not a one-shot, I think it will continue for awhile. I didn't really plan it out. I love Sasu/Hina there used to be a total of 4 stories like that. I would hate for it to become a passing fad. I don't find Sasu/Saku realistic at all, there are some stories with Sasu/Temari. I have no idea where that came from though. I think Shino/Temari would be cute. Like Shino/Kiba. I like Shika/Neji.
Would anyone like another fic for Naruto by me? Same couplings, AU though.
