Falling For You
Chapter Six: The New Konoha Couple
As the two new couple walked the streets of Konoha holding hands, they got a few gasps.
"I can't believe Sasuke-kun is dating her" one girl said
"She's really lucky to have someone like him" another girl said.
"That should be me holding Hinata-chan's hand not that guy" one guy said.
"Aw don't they look so cute together" one older woman exclaimed.
Sasuke and Hinata just ignored what everybody was saying and kept walking. "Sasuke-kun everybody is staring at us" Hinata exclaimed. "Just ignore them" Sasuke whispered to Hinata. As they were walking Sakura and Ino ran towards Sasuke and Hinata.
"No it is true, they are dating" Sakura thought as she looked at Sasuke and Hinata holding hands. "Sasuke-kun please say this is some kind of trick, you're not really dating Hinata-san are you?" the blonde haired ninja asked. Sasuke sighed.
"Yes I am Hinata-chan is my girlfriend" Sasuke said while looking at Hinata while giving her a small smile. Ino fainted on the ground when she heard Sasuke call Hinata his girlfriend. Both Sasuke and Hinata stared at Ino on the ground.
"Sasuke-kun…I-" Sakura started but Sasuke cut her off. "I don't have time to hear what you're about to say because I already know what you're going to say" Sasuke said as he walked passed Sakura while still holding Hinata's hand.
"But Sasuke-kun you can't date Hinata-chan" Sakura said while looking at the raven haired ninja.
"And why is that?" Sasuke asked while continuing to hold Hinata's hand. "Because don't you see Sasuke-kun" Sakura said while walking towards Sasuke practically pushing Hinata aside so she can get close to Sasuke. "We belong together, I'm the one who really loves you, not Hinata-san, and I bet she's tricked you into dating her" Sakura said as she began to touch Sasuke's cheek with her hand as she moved closer and closer to Sasuke until he was pushed against a tree. Sasuke continued to stare at Sakura with his annoyed expression as Hinata stood there and watched as Sakura touched Sasuke's face.
"Sasuke-kun I can give you want she can't" Sakura said as she began to lean in to kiss Sasuke as Sasuke stared at her in shock while leaning back. He didn't want Sakura to kiss him but he couldn't move he was stuck between a tree and Sakura. As Hinata was watching she began to feel her anger rise as she watched Sakura leaning in to kiss Sasuke.
Hinata walked towards Sakura and pushed her aside away from Sasuke. Sakura looked at Hinata in shock. "Hinata-san…"Sakura said in shock as she stared at Hinata. "Please stay away from Sasuke-kun" Hinata said in a polite way but had a stern tone in her voice. Sasuke was also shock as he looked at Hinata but then he made a smirk as he watch Sakura's shocked facial expression.
Sakura glared at Hinata as Hinata was staring at her. "So it seems now that I have a new rival" Sakura thought to herself as she continued to stare at Hinata. "I'm not giving up on you Sasuke-kun" she said before she gave Hinata one more glare before she walked away.
Hinata turned around towards Sasuke as he looked at her. "…Hinata-chan…" Sasuke said as he was just about to lean in and kiss her someone came towards them.
"Uchiha-san, what do you think you're doing" the male Hyuuga said. Both Sasuke and Hinata turned towards Neji. "What do you think I'm about to kiss Hinata-chan" Sasuke said as he looked at the blushing Hinata.
"I thought I told you to stay away from Hinata-sama" Neji said while glaring at Sasuke.
"Well you can't keep me away from my girlfriend now can you?" Sasuke said as he glared at Neji.
"Humph, I'll think that over if I were you" Neji said as he smiled in a devious way. "And even if you did tried to keep me away from her I will find a way to see her" Sasuke said as he continued to glare at Neji.
"Neji-niisan…I know that you only want to protect me, but you don't have to worry Sasuke-kun wouldn't ever hurt me, trust me" Hinata said as she looked at Neji. Neji looked at Hinata and then at Sasuke. He wanted to trust Hinata but he couldn't, he just didn't like the idea of his little cousin dating his rival Sasuke. Neji sighed.
"Whatever…" Neji said as he walks away. Hinata watched as Neji walks away as she smiles. She knew that now Neji finally accepted they're relationship.
"Now where were we" Sasuke said as he gazed into Hinata's eyes. Hinata blushed as she looked at Sasuke as he leaned forward to kiss her.
Hinata looked at Sasuke as they stopped kissing. Sasuke gazed into Hinata's eyes, he was now finally with the girl that he was yearning to be with. Sasuke smiled at Hinata.
Sakura POV
"I can't believe Sasuke-kun is dating that girl…how could this be happening" Sakura thought as she was walking. "She took away MY Sasuke-kun away from me…who does she think she is" Sakura thought as she suddenly smiled in a devious way. "Maybe I can still get Sasuke-kun…wait Naruto-kun likes me, if I can get Naruto then maybe Sasuke-kun will get jealous since Naruto is his rival or better yet Hinata-san will get jealous and then she'll realize that she still likes Naruto and she go with him knowing that she's not really meant to be with Sasuke-kun then I'll be the one that will be there for Sasuke-kun at the end" Sakura thought to herself as she rubs her hands together in a devious way.
"Now all I have to do is find Naruto" Sakura said to herself as she began walking.
Sakura began walking all over Konoha looking for Naruto. "Where could he be?" Sakura thought as she looked around until she finally saw the blonde haired ninja walking.
"NARUTO" the pink haired ninja yelled to get his attention. Naruto turned around to see Sakura waving at him. "Sakura-chan?" Naruto thought to himself as he walks towards Sakura.
"Hi Sakura-chan" Naruto said while smiling at Sakura.
"Naruto …I was wondering if…" Sakura began. "Man I really don't want to do this" Sakura thought as she forced a smile on her face.
"What do you want Sakura-chan? I'm really tired from my mission and I want to go home to go to sleep" Naruto said while yawning. Sakura glared at Naruto for rushing her but the glare quickly went away when Naruto looked at her.
"Well you see Naruto …I...I like you" Sakura said while looking to the ground. Naruto looked at Sakura in shock. "Will you go out with me?" Sakura said while looking at Naruto. "She likes me? Something that I've always wanted to heard her say and she finally tells me but I no longer like Sakura-chan in that way anymore the only girl that I care for is Hinata-chan" Naruto said as he looked away from Sakura.
"I'm sorry Sakura-chan, but I no longer feel the feel way about you as I did before…I like Hinata-chan now…I'm sorry" Naruto said while looking at Sakura's facial expression.
Sakura seemed kind of sad that Naruto didn't like her anymore, as she looked to the ground. "…Sakura-chan…"Naruto said as he noticed the sad look in her eyes.
"Since you just got back from your mission you probably don't know about Hinata-san and Sasuke-kun" Sakura said while looking at Naruto. Naruto stared at her as his eyes widened. "What do you mean? What about Sasuke and Hinata-chan?" Naruto said as he looked at Sakura.
"They're dating" Sakura said with a sad look in her eyes. Naruto stared at Sakura in complete shock. He was only gone on his mission for six weeks and he comes home to find out that Sasuke is Hinata's boyfriend. Naruto felt his jealous rise higher and higher.
"Sasuke you bastard" Naruto said as anger was seen in his eyes. Sakura notice the anger and took the opportunity to tell Naruto her plan.
"Naruto if we pretended that we were dating maybe Hinata-san will get jealous and she realize that it's you that she wants and not Sasuke…And then Sasuke-kun will be heartbroken and I'll be there for him causing him to fall for me completely" Sakura thought to herself.
"I don't know Sakura-chan I don't really want to do something like that" Naruto say while looking away from Sakura. "Naruto if you do you'll never know she might come back to you" Sakura said in a pleading way. She really wanted for Naruto to go along with the plan because she wanted to make Hinata jealous.
Naruto sighed. "Alright I'll do it…but if there is no progress then I don't want to do it anymore and I'll just deal with it on my own" Naruto said while staring at Sakura. Sakura gleamed.
"We have to practice being a couple Naruto so Sasuke and Hinata won't expect anything" she said as she continued walking. Naruto's blush when he heard Sakura say that.
The Next Day
Naruto knocked on Sakura's door as he waited for her to answer. Sakura opened the door.
"Naruto what are you doing here?" Sakura asked. Naruto sighed. "You told me to come here remember" Naruto said as he looked at Sakura. Sakura looked at him in a dumbfounded way.
"To practice being…you know" Naruto said while blushing. Sakura looked at Naruto.
"Oh yeah…I forgot all about that" Sakura said while walking out of her front door and closing it. "Well let's get starting" Sakura said as she began walking ahead of Naruto. Naruto followed Sakura as he sped up to walk beside her.
"So when you said practicing pretending to be girlfriend and boyfriend…what do you mean?" Naruto asked. "You know we'll do things that people that date do" Sakura said while not looking at Naruto as she continued walking.
"Like what?" Naruto asked dumbfounding. Sakura stopped and looked at Naruto. "You mean to tell me you honestly don't know" Sakura said as she looked at Naruto.
Naruto shook his head no. "You know things like holding hands, going out to lunch together…and kissing" Sakura said while blushing. Naruto stared at Sakura while he too was blushing.
"You don't mean you and I are going to be-"before Naruto could finish Sakura started talking.
"No we won't be doing that…only if we had to" Sakura said while looking away from Naruto while a light blush crept across her face. Naruto noticed the blush and smiled.
"Is Sakura-chan really staring to like me? Wait no…the only reason why I agreed to do this was to get Hinata back not to take the opportunity to get close with Sakura-chan" Naruto thought as he looked away from Sakura.
Sakura grabbed Naruto's hand to hold it. Naruto looked at Sakura in shock. Sakura noticed the shock expression.
"Well I thought we could just start on practicing now" Sakura said while looking at Naruto. Naruto said nothing as he looked at Sakura.
As they were walking they spotted Sasuke and Hinata walking together. Naruto glared at Sasuke. "Sasuke-no-baka, taking Hinata away from me" Naruto thought as he began walking faster towards Sasuke. Sakura tried to stop Naruto but she couldn't slow him down. "He's going to ruin our plan" Sakura thought as she continued to pull Naruto back. "Naruto you're going to ruin our plan" Sakura said to the angry ninja. Naruto ignored Sakura, he didn't care about the plan that Sakura came up with he just wanted to get to Sasuke and he wasn't going to let Sakura stop him.
"Hey baka" Naruto said as he glared at Sasuke. As soon as Sasuke turned around Naruto punched him in the face. Sasuke fell straight to the ground. Hinata looked at Naruto in shock as she bent down to help Sasuke up.
"Sasuke-kun are you okay? …Naruto-kun why did you hit Sasuke-kun" Hinata said as she looked up into Naruto eyes. Naruto look at Hinata.
"Hinata-chan are you really going out with this baka?" Naruto asked while having a sad look in his eyes. Hinata noticed the sad look in Naruto's eyes. Before Hinata could say anything Sasuke started talking.
"Yes, Hinata-chan and I are going out" Sasuke said as he smirked while looking at Naruto's expression. Naruto glared at Sasuke.
"Sasuke I bet you don't even really care about Hinata-chan, you're probably only dating her so you can get away from your dumb fan girls…I care more about Hinata-chan more than you do" Naruto said while glaring at Sasuke. Hinata looked at Naruto in shock. She didn't know Naruto was going to be this upset about her new relationship.
"You're wrong I do care about Hinata-chan…you say that you care more about her than I do you, actually didn't realize that you liked Hinata-chan until Sakura pointed it to you that she use to like you because you were too dense to realize it yourself" Sasuke said while looking at Naruto. Naruto grunts while he glares at Sasuke.
"Why are you using past tense when you say Hinata-chan use to like me" Naruto said while continuing to look at Sasuke.
"What are you talking about you dobe you should know that Hinata-chan likes me more than you if she didn't I wouldn't be dating her, now would I" Sasuke exclaimed. Naruto glared at Sasuke.
"I think Hinata-chan still like Naruto, just look at how she was looking at him" Sakura said while looking at Hinata. Sasuke looked at Sakura.
"Why are you even here" Sasuke said while glaring at Sakura. Sakura stared at Sasuke. She couldn't say that she was there because she was with Naruto because she was his girlfriend because Naruto ruined the plan.
"I bet you're the one that told Naruto" Sasuke said while staring at Sakura. Sakura looked at Sasuke.
"Did you think that Hinata-chan would just leave me for that dobe and then you come to try to win me over?" Sasuke said as he pulled Hinata closer to himself. Naruto glared at Sasuke as he did this as did Sakura but she glared at Hinata.
"Well your wrong" Sasuke said while holding Hinata. Hinata feeling kind of embarrassed about the situation buried her face on Sasuke shoulder. Sasuke looked at Hinata and smiled as he looked at the jealous blond glaring at him.
"Hinata-chan…"Naruto started. Hinata looked up at Naruto. "I don't care if you are dating Sasuke…I honestly do really care about you and I'm not going to give up on you" Naruto said to Hinata as he watched as the Hyuuga stare at him in shock as a light shade of pink came across her face.
Sasuke growled at Naruto when he said that. "Who does that dobe think he is saying that he's not going to give on Hinata-chan…humph why I'm I worried he'll never succeed in taking my Hinata-chan away from me" Sasuke thought as he looked away from Naruto to look at Hinata who was watching Naruto walk away.
"Sasuke-kun…I…I'm" Sakura stared.
"Sakura you minds well give up on me because you can never make me fall for you even if you tried…I don't like you okay can't you get that through you're thick head, so leave me alone" Sasuke said harshly as he walked away with while holding Hinata with one of his arms.
Sakura stared at Sasuke as he left her behind. Sakura began to feel tears fall down her cheeks as she falls to the ground crying. At that very moment she felt like her whole heart was ripped out of her chest. She just continued to sit on the ground crying uncontrollably.
She wondered how can she let herself go this far, she always knew that raven haired ninja never cared for her in that way but she always said that she would never give up on him and she wouldn't never let anyone steal him away from her but now…now Hyuuga Hinata has him, Sasuke, HER Sasuke. Sasuke was her first crush and she wanted to be first girlfriend…but now Hinata is. Sakura was still very jealous that Hinata was dating Sasuke, but she wasn't going to let herself chase Sasuke any more. She couldn't believe what she was thinking she was going to finally give up on Sasuke her…her first love.
As Sasuke and Hinata were Sasuke just couldn't get what Sakura said out his head.
I think Hinata-chan still like Naruto, just look at how she was looking at him
Sasuke looked at Hinata. He wondered if Hinata really did still hold some feelings for him. Hinata looked at Sasuke and tell that something was troubling him.
"Sasuke-kun is everything alright?" the Hyuuga asked while having a concern expression plastered on her face. Sasuke looked at Hinata he wanted to ask her, but he didn't want Sakura words get the best of him. But he couldn't help but to ask anyway.
"Hinata-chan do…do you still have feelings for Naruto" Sasuke asked while looking at her with a stern expression. Hinata looked at Sasuke in shock when he asked her this. A tiny part of Hinata was really happy to see Naruto today, but she no longer felt what she had felt for the blond haired ninja.
Hinata's quietness made him believe that she did still have feelings for him. Hinata looked at Sasuke and smiled at him.
"The only one that I have feelings for is you my Sasuke-kun" Hinata said as she kissed Sasuke gently on his lips. Sasuke stood there totally stunned at what Hinata said as he stared at her in shock but then he began to kiss her back. As they parted Sasuke looked at Hinata as she looked at him.
"…I love you Hinata-chan" Sasuke said as he looked at Hinata while giving her a smile that was rarely ever seen by the ninja. Hinata looked at Sasuke in complete shock she hadn't expected for Sasuke to say something like that to her. Sure she did care a lot for Sasuke she cared for him with all her heart but love…she didn't love him just not yet.
"I-I-I should b-be going home now" Hinata said while stuttering as she looked away from Sasuke. Sasuke felt a sudden fall of pain in his heart. He wondered to himself should he have ever said anything in the first place. Well it was true he did love her, maybe she wasn't ready for love maybe he was moving a little bit to fast for the young Hyuuga girl.
Sasuke watched as Hinata left him walking away like she was quite in a hurry.
Sasuke sighed to himself as a sad expression came across his face. But the expression slowly disappeared as he was thinking to himself.
"I know Hinata-chan might not be ready for that kind of commitment but I do know that she will be, but until then I will let her tell me how she feels when she's ready" Sasuke thought to himself as he began walking the opposite direction of Hinata back to his apartment.
