Chapter 3: I think I like you so far

Hinata's P.O.V

I could feel someone kissing me. Who was it? I didn't really know or care for that matter. All I needed was someone to share my pain with. I could feel his tongue flicking across my bottom lip, it felt good. Whoever it was, kissed much better than Naruto did. It seemed as if he had experience. His hand had made its way near my breast. He started massaging it slowly, the erotic feeling growing inside by each second. I bit my lip to stifle back a moan.

No good.

I tried opening my eyes; the water had made my vision blurry. The only thing I could make out was a dark figure looming over me. Using both my hands, I gently cupped his face. It did not feel chubby, nor did it feel skeletal. It was more like a strong, firm shape. I then moved them towards his chest, rubbing them, feeling every muscle. Boy, did he work out! I heard him moan at this. He then moved his mouth towards my collarbone, sucking gently at the bare flush. My fingers dug into his back. I couldn't take it anymore. All this pleasure was just too much for my virgin body to handle. I shoved him away, but gently. He seemed startled enough.

"Who are you?" I asked groggily. I still felt drained of energy for some reason. I positioned my body to sit up, but felt as though I would fall over.

He made no attempt to answer. Surprisingly, he pressed his lips against mine. This time, it felt much harder. I didn't do anything to stop him. I just ran my fingers through his spiky hair.

Spiky?

There was only one person I knew who had spiky hair like this. I loved the feeling. Just running my fingers through it all.

"Naruto…." I mumbled.

All of a sudden, the kisses and touches stopped. Whoever it was that I had just shared my intimate moment with stared at me with an impassive expression. The moonlight illuminating half of his face. Damn it! Of all times to lose my vision, it had to be now? I watched as the figure jumped up into the trees, vanishing from my view. I rubbed the side of my face confused.

Who was that?

Sasuke's P.O.V

I pulled back immediately.

What did she say?

At that moment, I remembered that I was kissing a married woman.

Who just happened to be my best friends' wife.

Shit! I cursed in my mind. I stood and jumped up into the trees, leaving her confused.

I could feel my body trembling from the way she had touched my chest. It had send chills up my spine. Sakura and Ino never really did anything that forward. It was probably because they were still shy. But the way she touched me though…..made a lustful desire grow within me. My hands were still shaking. The feeling of her soft breasts came back.

I wonder what it would be like to taste them…...

I shook my head, trying to rid myself of the perverted thoughts. I blame that damn Kakashi and his stupid book.

Her lips….I wanted to taste them again. Yet, I knew that I could not. When I had kissed her, she spoke out Naruto's name. My heart dropped, my stomach churned.

She had mistaken me for him.

The thought of losing to that idiot stirred an unknown anger deep within. Coming back from Orochimaru, I had gained strength. Why was it that he remained stronger than me? I was the village heartthrob, not him. Every girl in the academy fainted just by looking at me, but not her. She was different…..she was Hinata. Naruto had been the one to hold her heart captive, not me. It didn't matter that every girl on earth would give me their undying affection.

I wanted hers.

I never really noticed her until that one day during a mission

Flashback:

"I finally found that stupid cat!" Naruto cried exasperated. He held an orange feline in his hands; his face a mess. There were claw marks all over.

"And what exactly did you do to it?" Sakura asked, her hands positioned on her hips.

"I gave him a bath," Naruto stated shrugging his shoulders.

At this everyone practically fell to the ground.

"You dumbass! Cats don't like water!" Kiba retorted angrily at the blond's actions.

"I like it," Naruto said. He blinked his eyes as if a curious child.

There was a sound of soft laughter. Sasuke turned his head around to see Hinata giggling. She held a white kitten in her arms. It was resting peacefully.

Naruto stared at Hinata since she had barely spoken that morning. "What's so funny?" He asked.

The laughter stopped and was replaced with stuttering. " U-um nothing!" She answered quickly, her cheeks turning scarlet. She looked down shyly, making circles in the dirt with her sandal.

Ten minutes later……

"Ja, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura shouted waving her arms frantically. " Sorry I can't walk with you all the way, my mom wants me home before twelve!"

Sasuke simply shrugged and continued walking.

"Ja ne, Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouted. He waved goodbye to her.

"Shut up Naruto!"

"Yup, she loves me," Naruto said with a satisfied grin.

For some ironic reason, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, Kiba, Hinata, and Shino, were all chosen by Tsunade to rescue her three cats. Funny, isn't it?

Hinata held Cream, Naruto held Tangy, which left Sasuke with Midnight. The three of them were walking to Tsunade's office.

Sasuke sighed. Why did she gather up six chunins just to find a bunch of stupid cats? The Fifth was strange……

A loud piercing shreik then caught his attention. He snapped his head back quickly to see Tangy clawing Naruto's face. The cat started running in the opposite direction of where they were heading.

"Not again!" The blond cried. He started after the cat. "You guys go on ahead without me, I'll catch up later!" Naruto called to the two over his shoulder.

This left Sasuke and Hinata alone.

The both of them walked along the street. Silence was all that could be heard. Sasuke turned his head to the side to see Hinata staring at him.

"What are you looking at?"

"O-oh! I'm s-sorry!" She squeaked out. She brought one hand up to her face to hide the blush, though it did no good. Sasuke was annoyed by this.

"Just tell me the truth," he said quietly.

"Tell wh-what?"

"Why you were staring at me," Sasuke said through gritted teeth.

"Oh! Um……well, I just thought it looked cute the way Midnight is sitting on top of your head," she said pointing with her finger. "I-I know, it must sound stupid…"

To tell the truth, Sasuke did not want to tell her that even he thought it was pretty cute. Midnight sat perched atop his head, sleeping soundly.

"Yeah……it does," he replied.

The walk was peaceful until Midnight woke up. He seemed angry about something, and began clawing the top of Sasuke's head.

"Ow!" "Damn cat!" Sasuke retorted angrily. He reached for it, but the feline easily jumped out of the way, making Sasuke land flat on his face.

"Sasuke-san! Are y-you alright?" Hinata asked. She reached for his hand to help him up, but he slapped it away.

"I don't need your help!"

Hinata stared at him, her eyes on the verge of brimming tears.

Sasuke choked back a twinge of guilt. She had only meant to help him, so why was he being such an ass? He quietly mumbled an apology.

"Sorry…"

He turned his head away so she couldn't see his face. His long bangs kept his eyes from view. He felt a hand touch his forehead.

"Sasuke-san...you're bleeding," Hinata indicated softly.

Sasuke reached up to the side of his forehead, and sure enough, there was blood.

"So?"

"Let me c-clean it up for you, if you don't, it'll get i- infected."

"Do you think I care?"

"N-no."

"Then leave it."

"B-but if you don't it'll-"

"I know, get infected." " How many times are you going to tell me that?" He snapped angrily.

"I-I'm sorry," she whimpered.

He was doing it again.

"…………"

"…………"

"……………"

"…………………"

I can't take it anymore, he thought.

"Go ahead."

"H-huh?"

"Can…you……clean it for me?" That was hard. It took him all of his willpower just to say that.

At this, Hinata's face immediately brightened. "O-okay!"

Setting Cream down gently, careful not to wake her, Hinata reached into her equipment pouch and pulled out a small brown jar.

"What's that?" Sasuke asked afraid of what effects it might've had.

"It's a-a medicinal cream," she explained. "Na-Naruto-kun used it, so i-it should work on you also."

"Any side effects?"

"N-not really, it just stings a little, that's all."

"Oh."

It felt weird for the two of them to be having a conversation of some sort. Two people who were completely different. It was like when you saw a person you knew, but never really gave them a chance. You just ignored them until that one day when you finally just happened to bump into each other and began talking.

Hinata dabbed her finger lightly into the cream , being careful to not take too much or little. She applied it to the open wound, smoothing it gently.

On the other hand, Sasuke was crying inside. Stings a little? He thought. This thing hurts like hell!

Not wanting to shatter his pride, Sasuke spoke to her with his teeth gritted together. "And you said it stings a little, I don't feel anything," he scoffed.

"R-really?" She asked. "I let Shino-kun t-try some and he started screaming."

"Like I said, I don't feel a thing," he replied flatly.

"Oh…o-okay."

Four minutes later……

"I'm f-finished Sasuke-san."

Sasuke reached up and gingerly touched the wound. After Hinata had applied the cream, she also had given him a band-aid.

"So…do you always carry those things around with you?" Sasuke asked trying to sound curious. He never really was a conversation starter, but he could tell Hinata wasn't either. Wanting to make up for his rude behavior, he decided a small chat might help. He wasn't in a bad mood for no reason, it was because of all the missions Tsunade had assigned him. Being a member from the great Uchiha clan, he had to admit that everyone had their limits.

Including him.

And right now, he was so tired, he could've slept on the street for all he cared, but this didn't stop his pride from kicking in. He was good at masking his emotions, and Hinata was gullible. She wouldn't notice anything.

"Y-yes," she answered. "Don't y-you?"

"No."

"H-how come?"

"I don't need it."

"B-but you should always ca-carry it j-just in case."

"Yeah, but what's the point?" "I never really get hurt."

"You were just hurt by a cat."

"That's n-not the point!" He cried feeling embarrassed. Heat spread throughout his face. It had been a while since he ever felt this way. The only time he remembered having that feeling was when he was with his mom or Itachi. And now this plain girl had made him feel embarrassed for the first time in nine years.

It felt surprisingly……good.

Keeping his head low, Sasuke tried hiding the blush, but felt that somehow Hinata could see anyways. He lifted it back up to see her smiling shyly at him. She held Cream in her arms, the kitten yawned, opening its tiny mouth. Must've been tired.

"What?" He asked.

"I um…think we should go now."

"Yeah…I guess we should."

Hinata made a purring sound, and sure enough, Midnight came scampering over, jumping into her arms along with Cream. She held the black cat out for Sasuke to take. He outstretched his arms for the cat to jump in. Holding both cats, Sasuke stared at the one in his arms.

Black cat, huh? Looks like you really are bad luck, but then again…I think you're my good luck, he thought. Staring at Hinata, he thought of something.

You're not plain, you're different……and I like that.

Now if only he could just tell her that himself.

Owari!

That's when the idea hit me to write this fic! I'm really happy with this one. The reviews seemed to pour in much faster. I'm pretty fast at typing my stories, but it's better if I have my ideas first. That's why you see me updating so fast!

I love him too, but this will be the only way I can get Hinata and Sasuke together, so please understand! Hinata would look beautiful in the moonlight.
