Hi everyone, it seems that my update schedule is a bit this and that so from now on I will update when I feel like it because sometime I have the urge to write a new chapter and sometime I don't. No flames, please . I tried to make this chapter longer so yeah. Hope you enjoy it; please review on anything that need to be improved, thanks. And also I insist on reading the Story Info "Chapter" before reading this chapter. Sayonara! P.S-letters in bold italics are what Sauske is thinking.

Chapter Four: Confrontation

I woke up; there was a yellow-ish glow on the screen doors. It seems I woke up just after sunrise. I quickly got out of my bed then went straight to the bathroom, I didn't wait for the warm water to be ready, and I took a bath in coldwater. After getting out of the bath, and dressed up then headed straight to the kitchen. I asked the maid to prepare a small breakfast while I worked on rice balls for lunch, I shaped them into stars. I also made lunch for Kiba and Shino lunch also. Kiba's rice balls were shaped like Akamaru and Shino's rice balls were shaped like butterflies. I finished lunch and ate breakfast then headed out to train. I will train my hardest today…so I can beat Sakura. "I'm leaving!" I shouted. I ran out and headed toward the training ground where I honed my skills and developed new techniques. Hours later

Kiba's POV

I met with Shino outside of my house. "Yo Shino." I said.

"Hi." He replied. We started walking toward the training grounds.

"So are you going to tell her?" he asked

"Tell her what?" I asked

"You know...that you love her?" he asked.

"I told you already Shino." I said

"I know, but…Naruto doesn't like her right now…so you can take the chance." He said

"Naruto may no like her…but she adores him, she still wants him." I said.

"Your just making up excuses." Said Shino calmly. I didn't answer back.

"So you admit it." He said.

"Shino…"I said,

"What?" he asked

"Just drop it okay." I said. We reached the training grounds, Hinata was already there. How long has she been here? "Yo Hinata!" I shouted

"Kiba-kun…Shino-kun, I thought you guys weren't coming it took forever!" she said.

"You seem to be in a good mood today, Hinata." Said Shino. She looked at Shino and then smiled. "Are you guys hungry, I made lunch." I said

"Sure." I said and Shino simply nodded. We walked by over by her while she sat down and unpacked the lunch. Akamaru barked hungrily on top of my head. I sat down beside her then took a bite out of the doggie shaped rice ball. "Mm Hinata these are good!" I said.

"Yeah because I stuff your rice balls with doggie food." She said. What? I stopped chewing the rice ball, pieces rice and the "doggie" food fell out of my mouth. "Calm down Kiba I was just kidding." She said with a smile on her face. Hinata made a joke? The three of us sat there eating lunch and making small talk. "I should resume training now." She said.

"Okay." Said Shino

"We'll leave now so you can concentrate." Said Shino

"Yeah." I said.

"Okay…bye then." She said. I stood up and walked toward the village, Shino followed me shortly. Once in the village we headed toward a different training ground. "You know." He said

"What?" I asked.

"You two look like a good couple." He said. I sighed, "Your not going to give up are you." I said.

"Well, your missing your chance." He said. I didn't answer, am I really missing up on a chance?

Hinata's POV

I finished training at sundown, I then rested under a tree, and someone was here. I activated my Byakugan; there bus someone behind the 5th tree on the right. "Reveal yourself…you can't fool my eyes." I said.

"Hm…so your sharper than you look." Said a voice. The person revealed himself…it was Sauske. "What do you want?" I asked

"I was hoping in training here by myself." He said

"Well if you think I'm going to leave that easily you're wrong." I said.

"I guess this could be a form of training, but I'm not sure…your so weak." He said

"What?" I asked

"I'll fight you for the training ground." He said.

"I accept." I said. He took his battle stance while I stood up, he looked down, "This will be quick." He said, and then he looked back up. He charged toward me, "Already freezing up Hinata…it's just like you." He said. He kicked me, "That was easy." He said then suddenly there was a poof. What…a bushin? I rushed at him from above, targeting his chakra coils in his left leg, and then pushing him forward forcefully while hitting the coils in his back, he hit the tree. He lay in pain under the tree. He struggled to get up using only one leg, he succeeded. "You are foolish to fall in such obvious traps." I said.

"Damn." He said

"Cursing won't get you anywhere; it only dirties your mouth." I said, taunting him. He tried rushing at me again, he tried a punch, and I quickly dodged the pitiful attempt to attack me and targeted coils in his arm. Damn…I can't move my arm or my leg. I slowly walked behind him, knowing he can't move well, and stopped the chakra flow in his back, he grunted in pain. "Face it…you lose." I said

"I'm not giving up." He said. He's persistent…like Naruto. I walked up to him and poked him in the side, hitting a pressure point while hitting the chakra coils in his side. He gave another grunt of pain. "Here let me help you." I said while walking down to him, he only gave a weak kick at my foot. I could hear a shouting some where close by. I could feel vibrations on the ground…they were coming closer. "Are you sure you don't want any help?" I asked. He didn't answer me, "Well, whatever." I said. I turned around a red flash was heading toward me, I quickly activated my Byakugan, Shugohakke Rokujūyon Shō, I violently rotating my hands around hitting the person a lot of times. When did Hinata get so strong? When I stopped the person flew and hit the ground. To my surprise it was Sakura…curling on the ground holding her stomach in pain. For some reason…I liked seeing her in pain. Seeing it was nessesary to be there any I started taking my leave…passing by Naruto on my way out, I completely ignored him. When I passed him…I felt angry…is it really a good idea to try and get him back? I have always admired Naruto…but now, he's seems nothing to me. What should I do?

Naruto's POV

"Hey Sakura…are you okay?" I asked.

"WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE!" she shouted

"HEY YOU GET OVER HERE AND HELP ME GET UP!" she shouted

"Okay okay Sakura." I said. I walked over to her and help her get up. "Hey Sauske are you okay?" I asked. He didn't answer, I went over to him and helped him up. Hinata's so strong, and yet so kind. She offered to helped me even when I tried to forcefully take her training grounds. "Hey Sauske did Hinata beat you up?" I asked. Once again he didn't answer me, but by the looks she did get both of them. I know she's mad but to beat up my friends is unacceptable…she need to be put in place.
