Chapter 6: Close to Perfect

Both

Sasuke stared into the endless depths of her eyes. The milky lavender enveloped him. He could tell that she had been yearning for him just as much as he had been for her. There was a deep understanding between them.

His gorgeous red eyes captivated her. Is this really happening to me, or am I just dreaming? He brought her hands to his lips and kissed them softly. I was right. He likes me. The spot where his lips had touched her was left with a tingling feeling. She pressed her cheek against his and slowly moved towards his mouth, allowing her lips to brush against his cheek. She paused and then tilted her head slightly. Sasuke moved the rest of the way, kissing her softly on the lips. He moved away but came right back for another kiss, this one with a little more fire in it. Her lips… they're so soft. She took her hands away from his and put both of them on his face. She looked into his eyes with a burning passion. She pulled him in for another kiss. This time he slipped his tongue into her mouth. He put one hand on the small of her back and pulled her closer to him. With the other hand he ran is fingers through her silky blue hair and held the back of her head. He could feel the movement of their kissing through the swaying of her head in his hand. He slipped the hand that was on her back into the pocket of her capris. She ran her fingers through his hair then moved one hand to his neck and the other one to his upper back. The taste and feel of her warm mouth on his drove him wild. Kiss me harder, she thought. He plowed his tongue into her mouth eagerly, as if he had read her mind.

"Mmm…" Hinata sighed. She nibbled on his lower lip. It felt so right. Sasuke brought his hands to the back of her neck and removed her headband. He then moved his head downward and kissed her neck. She stretched her neck to give him more flesh to kiss. All of a sudden her hands got a mind of their own. They moved to the bottom of Sasuke's shirt and pulled it off over his head. She ran her fingers all over his bare torso. Her fingers felt so, so good against his bare skin. The kissing made its way back to her mouth. He unzipped her coat, slid it down her arms, and let it fall to the ground, revealing a gorgeous body in a tight black tank top. He felt her curves with his hands and rested them on her hips. Her pulse was racing.

Out of the corner of her eye Hinata saw two figures, one pink and the other orange, emerge from the trees. She snapped her head around. Naruto and Sakura stood with their jaws dropped. Hinata and Sasuke couldn't bring themselves to let go of each other. Oh shit, thought Sasuke, now the brat knows.

"Ha! I knew something was going on! Believe it!" He fell to the ground and rolled around laughing. What a jackass.

A single tear rolled down Sakura's cheek then she burst into tears and ran away.

Hinata looked at Naruto and then Sasuke. She had never seen Sasuke so angry. She buried her face, which was now bright red, in his chest. Oh no! He's going to hurt him! With one sweeping motion, he picked her up and carried her away from Naruto, who was still on the ground laughing idiotically. She thought it best to remain silent. After walking for a while they arrived at a clearing with a deep, pure spring. He sat her down on a large, flat rock and plopped down next to her. He was really, really pissed.

"I hate him so much." He stared at the ground, his vision blurred with anger. I'll kill him.

Hinata leaned against him, put her arms around his waist, and rested her head on his bare chest. Calm down. It's okay. His heart softened immediately. He put his arm around the beautiful angel and rested his head on top of hers. How can I stay mad with this sweet girl holding on to me like this? Softly and slowly he stroked her lovely hair. She's mine at last. They sat in silence, embracing one another. After a while Hinata fell asleep in his arms.

"Sweet dreams, wonderful girl."
