Chapter 10: I love u, but I can't say it

A/N: Thank you all my reviewers! I really love them. It's just to sad for Hinata and Sasuke. Find out what happens next in this chapter. Sasuke is such a cheater! J/K. Enjoy!

She wanted to turn back and look at it, but Kouji wouldn't let her see it at all. She just couldn't stop crying either. Kouji did the unexpected thing of all! He ALSO kissed her on the lips, making Hinata stop crying to a surprise face. In a minute of matter, he let go of her lips.

"Hinata, don't look at them, just look at me from now on. I'll protect you. I won't let you get hurt anymore either. I've...fallen for you the day you left me."

Hinata didn't know what to say at all AND Sasuke also saw the kiss Kouji gave to Hinata. He was NOW REALLY jealous of this, but just couldn't do anything to hurt Ifalna. She didn't see this since she was still kissing him!

It was noon already. Hinata was in her bed...alone, thinking to herself of what had happened the other day. She touched her lips as a tear fell from her left eye. She cuddled as she cried more to herself.

"Sasuke...I...I...I love you...but I just can't say it! Why? When she told me to love you...I did my best...and I DID fall for you. Now...I...I-" Hinata squeezed her eyes shut hard. "Should I ask? See if he DOES like me back?"

Knock, Knock, Knock

"Y-yes?" Hinata wiped her tears away immediatly and check to see if her eyes were red.

"It's me...Sasuke."

"C-come in."

Sasuke opened the door and came in. He closed the door and came to her bedside and sat down. He didn't say anything right then. He sigh and looked at her.

"You...you saw the kiss didn't you?" He said calmly.

Hinata nodded her head. "Yeah."

"Ifalna...she kissed me unexpected."

Hinata knew that he wasn't lying. "Why?"

"She told me that she felt that she should do this. I didn't understand what she meant by that till she acutally did it."

"Was it like hers?"

Sasuke knew what Hinata had meant. He wanted to lie and say no, but he knew that she'll know. "Yeah, but somewhat different."

"I-I see."

"Hn."

"Sasuke..."

"Hm?"

"If you got the chance again...would you get back with Ifalna?"

"I...don't...know." Sasuke answered truthfully.

"You should." Sasuke looked at her shock. "God is giving you another chance. You should take that chance and get back together with Ifalna-chan."

Sasuke was mad and sad. He was having mix feelings. He was mad that she had said that instead of saying what he was hoping for. He was sad because...he knew that Hinata lie to him about doing those things. He knew that...she...no...he...

"Sasuke...I-" Hinata didn't finish her sentence at all.

Sasuke...Sasuke had closed her off from saying anything. He had kissed her. Hinata cried. She didn't want this...NO! She did want this...but Ifalna...Hinata could feel that it was Ifalna. Sasuke...he couldn't do this to her nor Ifalna. Hinata pushed him away.

"Please...Please Sasuke...don't...don't."

Sasuke was sad and piss off at what Hinata had just done. He left, slamming the door. Hinata broke into tears. Sasuke...he was...crying as well. Both were thinking...

"I love you...but why can't we be with each other?! Why?!"

Sasuke went into the training area. Where...he saw her again. He stop and well...observe what he saw in the bush.

Ifalna was training.

"Let's see. If it would work." She got on the waters and began making hand signs. "Fireball jutsu!"

A blast of chakra came out of her mouth, creating fire. It was big and a strong one too. Much stronger than Sasuke's. He was kinda jealous. He was watching from the bush he had hid in when she wasn't paying attention.

She notices his presence. She quickly poof herself away. Sasuke was wondering why she left anyways, but he didn't really care that much.

"Psst. Sasuke behind you."

Sasuke's eyes widen. He turns around and saw Ifalna smiling at him. He didn't want to show it at all that he got surprisef. He was also wondering how he couldn't felt her behind him.

She saw the confuse look on his face. So she decided to explain a little bit to him. He of course was impress. He stayed emotionless to her. She could tell that he was.

"Something else you want?"

"Let's spar."

"Spar. Sure...why not."

They got into position and started sparing each other. Ifalna was very fast, but Sasuke was faster. Ifalna dodged the kunai's that were sent flying towards her. She threw three of them back at Sasuke. He dodged it all. He used his fireball jutsu on her. She did the same. It caused an explosing between the two, making them fall back. Ifalna got back up and so did Sasuke.

They used taijutsu this time. Both were very good at keeping up with each other. Ifalna had some straches on her. Sasuke only had 3 or 4 straches on him. Then, Sasuke used his lion combo on her. She couldn't dodge the move and got hurt. She payed him back with some of her own moves. This was getting the best of them.

Just when the fight was getting good. Ifalna tripped on some slippery grass. Sasuke caught her just in time using his chakra. He was holding her way to close to him. She could feel her cheeks burning pink. He couldn't help, but look at her eyes. She also stares into his eyes. They stayed in the same position for a very long time, until Ifalna turned away. He let go of her.

Ifalna could see some pink light blushes on his face. She chuckled seeing the great Sasuke blushed. He ignored her little laugh. Although he actually loved it. Ifalna was about to turn away...and then BOMB. Sasuke's lips touched hers. She was dumbfounded.

He didn't want to let go of her...not just yet. She couldn't help it. So she kissed him back. She opened her mouth. Letting his tongue touch hers. She let him kiss her on the neck as well. His hand wonders to her thigh and to her hips. She didn't even mind at all.

Then Sasuke broke the kiss. Ifalna chuckled. She cubbed his right cheek and rubbed it gently. Sasuke just stared.

"Just like last time. It was the same thing that happened. The two of us liked each other and hooked up...but...Hinata..." Then Sasuke remembered what Hinata had said. "You should take that chance and get back together with Ifalna-chan." Sasuke saddened.

"Something wrong?" Ifalna asked.

"Let's...go out."

Ifalna looked at him surprised. She smiled. "Kay. I love to Sasuke." She hugged him.

Meanwhile

Hinata was in the garden, drinking her tea. She looked up and saw Kouji. She waved to him to come over to her. Kouji smiled and came over and sat across from her.

"How's it going?" Kouji smiled.

"Somewhat fine." Hinata returned the smile.

"Have...you thought about it?" Kouji looked up at the sky

"Hm...yeah." Hinata placed her tea down and looked at him.

"What's your anwer?" He looked at her straight in the eye.

"I...I'm willing going to give it a try Kouji."

Kouji smiled. "That's good enough for me. I promise you I'll make you happy Hinata."

Hinata smiled at him. "Thank you Kouji."

"Let's go do something fun."

"Kay."

Hinata went and change into her usual clothes. She and Kouji went into town. They went into stores to buy clothes, etc. Hinata was having fun. She forgot all about Sasuke and this morning. Kouji was glad that she was happy now instead of gloomy.

They went everywhere they could think of and play whatever. It was really fun for them. Nothing could ruin it for them...or could it?

Hinata was running to a cliff to watch the sunset. She was dazzled by it's colored. Kouji smiled at her and watched it with her.

"Kouji...I really had fun today. Let's do it again sometime."

"Sure."

"Kouji?" A girls voice spoke.

Kouji and Hinata turn to see who it was. Hinata's face was sad. She didn't want to see him today. Kouji saw this and knew.

"Hey Ifalna...Sasuke-san."

"What are you two doing here?" Ifalna asked.

"Watching the sunset."

"Same here. Why don't we watch it together?" She asked. "If it's okay with you guys."

"Ifalna..." Sasuke spoke.

"Oh alright." She smiled at Hinata them. "We have to go." She turns to Hinata. "I hope to get to know you Hinata-chan and become one of your friends."

Ifalna smiled innocently at Hinata. Hinata smiled back...hiding the tears away from them. Sasuke turn away...sad to see Hinata with Kouji.

"Why?" They both thought.
