Hinata's P.O.V

"Need help?"

I gasped in surprise and came face-to-face with the owner of the voice. Confusion drifted in my mind because Prince Sasuke was the last person I expected to see. He had on a black hoodie, along with grey jeans and black vans. One would think he wasn't Sasuke considering he had a black beanie on, but I would recognise his face anywhere.

"Huh?" I squeaked.

"Do you need help with those bags?" Sasuke repeated.

"Ano, w-why would you want to help me?"I uttered, before I could stop myself. A smirk found its way to Sasuke's face.

"Those bags look heavy," he replied.

"Ah, right. Thank you but I think I can manage. I wouldn't want to trouble you"

"Hn. Is it because of my status as heir to the throne?," Sasuke asked, his voice slightly laced with anger. I would have gladly accepted his help, except I was looking out for him, not that he was taking any notice.

"N-no," I murmured nervously, "I-it's just..."

"Just what?"

"You see, these are for a friend. Sakura. I'm doing her a favor and she likes her privacy and I thought maybe you wouldn't exactly want to see her as of yet, seeing as she's quite the fan of yours,"

Sasuke read my face and also seemed to be calculating his own conclusion. See, saving him from fan-girl claws and Sakura from being viewed as my master and responsibility. My phoned vibrated and I took it out to see Sakura calling.

~telephone conversation~

H: Hello?

S: Where are you? Its almost time. Get here quickly

H: I'll be there

~end of telephone conversation~

"I'm sorry," I said, "I have to get going, but it was nice seeing you again"

I grabbed the bags again and made my way in the direction of the hostels. A minute passed and I felt the bag I was holding with my left hand taken out of my grasp.

"I think I can help to some distance and leave before Sakura sees me," Sasuke replied.

"I..."

"When someone offers help and are quite persistent, don't you think you should just let them?"

I kept my mouth shut and simply nodded. Sasuke smirked and gestured for me to lead the way. I sighed and kept walking. What a long night this will be.

3rd P.O.V

At the turn to Sakura's room, Hinata took the rest of the bags from Sasuke and thanked him accordingly. She delivered the goods to Sakura, but not without receiving an earful about how she should be more responsible and stop delaying whenever she goes out. Hinata sighed and walked towards home. As she approached the turn she took a double back and was surprised to see Sasuke still standing there.

"What are you doing here?" Hinata asked.

"Waiting for you. You know, for a friend of Sakura's, I would think you would at least stay longer," he stated.

"I...I was just doing her a favor. Please excuse me, I have to go before it gets too late," Hinata stuttered, keeping her eyes downcast.

"You know, the regular residences are that way. Since your not royalty or anything. And would you stop looking down"

Hinata glanced up for a second and looked down again; she couldn't resist staring at the ground. Sasuke was royalty and she was not. Her place was to be in the shadows, stay in the background and that was all she knew.

"Forgive me," she apologized, "I'm just not quite used to looking at people in the eye for long. And I'm not sure you can be seen with the likes of me. Also, what's so interesting about me? I hear stories of you as the most withdrawn but here you are approaching me, why?"

Sasuke thought for a minute before replying, "You remind me of someone who was very close to me. I guess it was your personality, but if you feel uncomfortable, I suppose I'll withdraw. Good night Hinata"

And with that, Sasuke walked away.

Hinata's Diary

Dear Diary

I'm settling well into my lifestyle as a student of Konoha College. I'm just waiting for classes to begin and then the reality should set in. I had the most weirdest encounter tonight. I met with the one and only Prince Sasuke. I couldn't believe my eyes or ears when he offered me help with Sakura's grocery. If one thing struck out, it was his actions towards me. He was nice, amused by me and basically everything against what I knew about him.

For one, he wasn't all stoic or a snobby push over. Which confused me. Nonetheless, I couldn't bring myself to ruin his reputation or ignore my place as a servant. In truth though, I may have offended him by denying him friendship and indirectly insulting him. What could I do? Then again, I have no intention of angering Sakura. I've personally seen her destroy the spirit of the girls who were suspected getting closer to Sasuke.

What would happen if she suspected me? I can't put my future plans on the line. Sasuke is Sakura's prince charming and she's not worth having as an enemy. Now that I think about it, I did right in not getting involved in any form of relationship with Sasuke no matter how innocent.

Oh well school begins soon and I need rest.

Good Night.

Sasuke P.O.V

As soon as I reached my room, I lay on my bed thinking back to my encounter with Hinata. She was quite the innocent one and her eyes displayed a kindness that reminded me of Itachi. Being around her reminded me of him. Is it because of that reason that I acted way out of character? It felt as though being with her brought out the boy I once was.

Then again, she's right. If I tried associating myself with her, a bad omen could befall her. For one, my fan-girls will torment her. And I wouldn't want her to face any such tragedies. For the rest of the night, my thoughts continue to torment me and I have little sleep...
