"Yes, I forgot. I forgot what it felt like to be so close to someone, to feel so warm next to another body. When we stopped talking, I felt empty. Don't be sorry for making me remember, Sasuke." Naruto said to the clouds. He refused to make eye contact with the other, not when he was about to make his choice.

"Naruto... I --"

"Let her go."

"What?"

"Hinata. She's part of your little 'clan'. I want you to stop making her think that she belongs there. She isn't the person you think she is. She needs to be her own person, and she doesn't need to be following you around like a puppy."

More adrenaline rushed through Naruto's body.

Sasuke stood next to Naruto, wondering what the heck he had meant by 'letting her go'. Personally, Sasuke had no interest in Hinata from the start.

"You'll talk that up with Neji."

"No, I talk it up with you." Naruto said. His voice was harsh and deep, almost monstrous. He was serious, no doubt.

"What the hell do you mean by that? I'm not the one telling her what to do, Naruto. She's there because she wants --"

"No, that's not the case and you know it. You forced her to believe that she belonged there so that she would trust you and you alone." Naruto was right. Memory after memory came back to him like monthly bills flying through his door slip.

He remembered.

"Hinata wanted to be herself. Neji wouldn't let her do it."

"So how is it my fault?"

"You never tried to stop him. You let him do it. You let him walk all over her. But he listens to you, Sasuke."

"Naruto your not maknig any sense at all!" Sasuke was right. Naruto was completely insane. What did he mean by any of it? Hinata was completely herself! She wantedto be there. She liked where she was. Sasuke would bet money that she would leave if she so desired, but Naruto wouldn't believe that so easily. The stubborn prick. "You have it in your head that I control everything, and I don't. She hangs around me because she chose to do so."

"How do you know? For all anyone knows you have them under mind control!"

"You idiot!" Sasuke almost yelled. Naruto wasn't listening. He needed proof. Some kind of way to make him believe that he was not the lier that Naruto thought he was. Why would Naruto think that?

Unless...

"You really like her, don't you?" Naruto's eyes widened at the hurt in Sasuke's voice. Naruto looked at Sasuke, but he didn't see the older bastard from the present. He saw a young boy, looking aimlessly at the ground. "You... like her, more than me, right? You really moved on, didn't you?"

Sasuke finally looked at him in the eye, and he was sad. Completely sad, and about ready to cry. Naruto didn't mean to make him cry, but that might have been the only way to get what he aimed for in the first place.

Seeing his ex lover tear up was bad enough for the time being. Maybe it was a good time to drop it and say, 'okay, so where's the girl?' or perhaps he should just walk away. Yes, walking away would be the best thing to do in the situation. But on the other hand, Naruto was not like Sasuke. He didn't just walk away from his troubles. He stood his ground, doing what was best for him and the other person, even if it turned out suckish.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke, that it turned out like this. Maybe you are telling the truth. But all in all, Hinata is the one I'm after. I don't... I can't return your efelings right now." And with that, Naruto walked for the door that led back down into the school.

"Naruto." He stopped at his name. He didn't turn around, but he stopped to listen. "I won't stop."

Having no idea of what he meant at that, Naruto took his leave, an unreadable expression on his face. Sure it would bother him about what he truly meant, and sure, he'd come up with ideas, but he wouldn't be sure if his wonders were direct and right. Sasuke was smarter than Naruto and could easily outsmart the blond, so Naruto would have to be extra careful. If Sasuke had some kind of master plan to use the past in the present, he'd have to back himself up. That, he was sure about.

Sometime later, Naruto decided to head down to the nurse's station, just so he could try to lay down and rethink his plan. Yes, he believed Sasuke was telling the truth, but that didn't mean he'd just let it go. Somehow he'd make up for ignoring Hinata for all those years. He wouldn't be pervish like Sasuke was, like when he said that Naruto was his princess and Sasuke was his slave. Sure, that sounded cute, and pretty damn kinky, but Naruto wouldn't be the toy in this relationship.

No, somehow he'd make it a better turn out than his last one, (not saynig the two years of dating Sasuke was terrible)

And that was the other thing. How would she react to Naruto's past? A good relationship is one without lies or secrets. What would she say when she found that Naruto was bisexual? Naruto and Sasuke kept their orientation to themselves, just in case something went wrong. But coming out now... it may not be a great turn out. It was so sudden.

Regretting what he thought the second he thought it, Naruto remembered only telling Sasuke he liked boys, too. Sasuke was the only one who he told that accepted that fact. Naruto told his pervy godfather, Jiraiya, who was iffy on it for a while, and he told his pervy teacher, who never really gave a straight answer. That's when he fell for Sasuke. Ahh, young love is so beautiful.

Why was teen love damn compicated?! God, Naruto wished he were a kid again. Kids worried about nothing. They had no fears and the only emotions they had were happiness and curiosity!

Naruto was reminded of the curiosity he had shared with Sasuke. When they were seven they wondered what kissing was like after they saw Itachi kiss his girlfriend, years before he went missing. Naruto smiled at the thought, but erased the memory as best he could. His thought were now on Hinata, the one he was supposed to be thinking about.

Kiba was right, though. Naruto knew nothing about her --

"Ooof!" Naruto fell backwards, and another body fell on top of him. "Hey watch -- Hinata?!"

"Oh! I'm so s-sorry, Naruto! I should have watched where I was going..." Long, dark, silky hair, pale eyes, gorgeous figure... She was even better looking up close!

"No, it was me. I wasn't paying attention," Naruto chuckled, rubbing the back of his head. Hinata pushed herself off of Naruto, blushing bright red. "So, where yah headed?"

"Uhm, the r-restroom..."

"Oh, ha, well, how convenient."

"Yes..."

Awkward...

"Listen, I know I'm coming off quick, but do you wanna catch a movie after school? Shikamaru and Temari are going and maybe... I don't know... you want to double?"

"Uh, that sounds... nice. I haven't talked to Shikamru lately."

"Great, well, I'll see you there around... seven?"

"Seven is good. I'll see you around, N-Naruto..."

Yes, oh yes, Naruto scored big time. 'S-C...(clap, clap) O-R-E...(clap, clap) Score, Score, Score!' He thought, as he walked striaght into the girls bathroom.

"Aaaaahhhh!"

"Sorry -- Ow! Sakuraaa-chaaaan!"

A/N: Sorry if the begining of the chappy was stupid and confusing. Writers block, yah know? Well, I think I made up for it along the way.
