Mshinata: Fine…I'll make this chapter long. :x –sighs-
Sasuke: You're like Shikamaru.
Mshinata: Thank you. I take that as a compliment since Shika-kun is so cute! –Smiles- Lol…I really liked your review, Nya-Ness-Zell. "Nya, Hinata never been kissed? Hopefully Sasuke will take care of that, instead of his older, sexier brother. " LOL! Itachi-sama is sexier…hehe…-evil laugh-
Sasuke: Tch. –scowls- Everyone knows the little brother is sexier.
Mshinata: Right…-sweat drops- Arigato gozaimasu Moto Moon! –Bows- Though, I don't consider myself a writing genius. –Sweat drops- Although…I WAS chosen to be in a writing competition. –Mumbles-
Sasuke: You? In a writing competition? I bet you'd lose.
Mshinata: Thank you for the kind, kind words, Sasuke. –Sweat drops- Gaara'slittlegirl, you're right. –Sighs- I have to make more GaaHina moments. I feel so guilty you know! D: I wanted to make some GaaHina moments but then…I was afraid I'd leave out the ItaHina moments! Gomenasai. –Bows- I will put some GaaHina moments in.
Sasuke: Here's an idea! Leave those two couples out and make SasuHina the only couple! –Smiles-
Mshinata: No! –Smiles- Nanako-chan, haha you're right! –Laughs- I could always sell Sasuke's hair. –Evil look in eyes-
Sasuke: Hell…no. –Sweat drops and covers that duck butt head of his-
Mshinata: You're right. –Sighs- No one wants that duck butt head of yours.
Sasuke: HEY!!! –Angry marks-
Mshinata: I do not own Naruto or any character specified in this fan fic.
Sasuke: Don't touch my hair…-mumbles-
Mshinata: Omg, arigato gozaimasu, NowYourJustAMemory!Arigato! –Hugs- I love the picture that you drew for my fan fic. : It was very prettyful. I love it very much. Thank you! –Hugs- I'll post the link up on my profile, so you guys can see her prettyful picture. :O THANK YOU AGAIN! xD
Hinata came home quietly. She knew Neji would be busy today with the University, so she wasn't welcomed home by Neji as usual. Everything was dark and plain. Neji liked that. Though…Hinata didn't mind, but a few more lights would be nice, too. She quietly went inside her room and dropped down on her bed. It was a long day and she needed her rest. But then…she snapped her eyes wide open. That's right! Hinata had a "date" with the two Uchiha brothers. Luckily for her, it was only 5:30pm. She had enough time to take a nice, warm bath.
Hinata turned on the water and waited for the water to become warmer. She stripped herself of her clothes (don't be thinking bad thoughts, you hear? Sasuke: -blushes- Me: -knocks out Sasuke with a punch- Sasuke: -is unconscious-) and slowly entered the bath tub. She sighed because of the warmness and a beautiful blush was planted across her face. (I always do that, too! xD)
She stayed quiet and washed her face. Hinata wondered how Itachi and Sasuke would look like. Her blush worsened. She reminded herself that if she had blushed too much, she might faint in the bath tub. (Watch Fruits Basket.) Hinata got rid of the thought and continued to wash herself.
After she was done, Hinata grabbed a towel and loosely wrapped it around her body. In truth, everybody thought she had a great body, big bust and everything. But of course…most girls thought that she was flat, because she always wore baggy jackets when she was 12 years-old. Wow, did she prove them wrong.
Hinata looked through her closet. She noticed that Ino had reloaded her closet with many clothes that she didn't recognize. That was Ino, after all…always dolling her up. Hinata sighed with a nervous smile and started to look through the clothes. Half the clothes were revealing, and the other half was "innocent." Hinata didn't want to wear something too formal or too revealing. She just wanted something plain. Too bad Ino the plain outfit Hinata wanted wasn't in her clothes.
Hinata picked out a shirt with no sleeves but had straps. It was white while the straps were laced and black. A black ribbon was tied below her breast. (I really like how that looks. xD) It was almost the only plain thing that Hinata accepted as "not formal but not revealing." She wore long jeans and let her hair hang down loosely. It was now 6:45pm. Now all she had to do was wait…
oO0Oo
"Damn you…" Sasuke sneered at the driving Itachi.
"I'm older, so it's more proper if I do the driving…little brother." Itachi smirked. They were heading towards Hinata and Neji's apartment. Itachi won the little "battle" on whoever was supposed to drive. Sasuke sat beside him and glared daggers at him.
"Shut up." Sasuke snapped.
"You're just jealous that I'm older." Itachi said calmly.
"Jealous my ass!" Sasuke yelled.
"Lower your voice. If you act all childish during our dinner, Hinata-san wouldn't like that…now would she?" Itachi raised a brow.
Sasuke remained silent. He clenched his fists. Itachi was a bastard…and a weasel.
"Though…I don't think what you did back there was very fair." Itachi said.
"Nani?"
"Don't act like a smart ass. You were cutting into my and Hinata's conversation." Itachi said coldly.
"I can't lose." A graceful smirk replaced that ugly scowl of Sasuke's.
The rest of the ride was quiet. Itachi didn't have anything else to say. He needed to tell Hinata…soon.
The two brothers arrived at the apartment. Itachi knocked on the door, and Hinata opened the door.
Sasuke looked away from Hinata, feeling embarrassed. While on the other hand, Itachi was staring at her. He gulped. Sasuke was blushing furiously…he couldn't look at her anymore. (You know what…it's a waste of time to describe what she was wearing since I already described it up there. –Sweat drops-)
"D-do…I look…okay?" Hinata blushed.
"Y-you…" Sasuke trailed off. He looked at her for a second and then looked down at his feet. His bangs were covering his blush, so she couldn't see.
"You look…wonderful, Hinata-san." Itachi managed to say. He hid his blush very well after registering her look.
Hinata smiled.
"Arigato." Hinata replied.
"You ready to go?" Itachi asked.
"H-hai." Hinata said.
Itachi went to his car, first.
"Let's go, Sasuke-kun." Hinata said.
"Ah-Hinata-chan…you look…" Sasuke was speechless. He didn't know what to say.
"That's alright if you don't like it." Hinata said, walking towards the car.
"Iie! That's not what I meant!" Sasuke grabbed her wrist. "You look…beautiful." Sasuke blushed. (So unlike him! xD)
Hinata blushed.
"Arigato."
Sasuke let go of her wrist and Sasuke opened the door for Hinata. She thanked him and they both entered the back seats.
I'm glad I'm not the one driving…Sasuke smiled his victory grin.
oO0Oo
"Ugh…thought she would never leave." Neji said, scratching the back of his head as he entered the living room. "The girls should be here any minute now…" Neji had told Hinata that he had some business with the University. Of course he wanted her to go on the "date." Neji wanted for her to be happy. Something that he couldn't ever achieve by himself…he owed it to her. Without Hinata, Neji would still be treated like trash. She stood up to her father for Neji. That was the first time anybody did that for Neji. He inwardly smiled. He also turned off all the lights and made everything look dark to be precautious.
A knock was at the door. Neji opened the door.
"Yo, are you Hyuuga Neji by any chance?" A sandy-haired girl with four pig-tails on the back asked. She raised a brow.
"Yes. Why do you ask?" Neji raised a brow in return.
"I'm Sabaku Temari, Gaara's older sister." Temari took out her hand. Neji shook it.
"I see." Neji said, letting go of her hand.
"I know what you're thinking…yes…I'm with Ino-chan and TenTen-chan. I just came a little early. So you know about the plan and everything?" Temari said, letting herself in.
"Yeah." Neji replied. Temari scanned the living room. The doorbell rang. Temari beat Neji to the door and opened it.
"Let's go! We're already late on schedule!" Ino said, pulling Temari out of the apartment.
"Nani? You said 7:30pm!" Temari said.
"I know, I know…but they just left about a few minutes ago. We forgot that we didn't know what restaurant they were going to…hehe…" TenTen sweat dropped.
"Then what are we doing here?! Let's go!" Temari shouted. "I've got my car, so no worries!" TenTen rushed after Temari who was running to her car.
"Um…goodbye Neji-kun." Ino bowed. She was the only one who noticed Neji who was at the door.
Neji nodded. "Bye."
Ino stood up straight and blushed.
"C'mon Ino-chan!" TenTen yelled out of Temari's car.
"I'm coming!" Ino ran to Temari's car thinking about how Neji just said bye to her.
"…Yamanaka…Ino." Neji thought aloud. He tilted his head a bit. "What a strange girl indeed…she's interesting though…" He smirked and re-entered his apartment.
oO0Oo
The restaurant wasn't too formal or a pub. It was just a plain, not too loud not too quiet restaurant. It had the right amount of people at the right time. Hinata liked that. Itachi had planned the dinner. Sasuke didn't really care. He knew Itachi couldn't win her over by his organization skills…could he?
The dinner was actually really quiet. The trio had ordered their meals.
"Yo, I didn't think I'd see you three here." A voice said from behind Sasuke while he was eating. Sasuke knew who it was and started to choke. Damn…of all places…
"Gaara-kun, likewise." Hinata answered happily.
"What brings you here, Gaara-sama?" Itachi brought upon a forced smile. He was good at doing them so well…that's what the Akatsuki liked about him….being able to fake smile.
"Eh…I was supposed to meet my sister, here." Gaara scratched the side of his cheek with his right pointer finger while he stuffed his left arm into his pocket.
"Oh…so she's coming to dinner?" Hinata asked curiously.
"Yeah." Gaara nodded. He suddenly put his left hand on Sasuke's right shoulder. Sasuke flinched.
"Shouldn't you be at the front, waiting for her?" Sasuke said, trying to hide the irritation in his voice.
"She knows how to walk in a restaurant." Gaara replied.
"Ah, Gaara!" Temari ran over to the table where the trio sat. She scanned the table. "Wow…we weren't expecting you guys." She smiled her toothy grin.
"Yeah." Sasuke and Itachi replied at the same time.
"Let's get a table, Gaara." Temari dragged her brother along to another table which the waiter passed out their menus. They sat in a booth diagonal from the circular table that the trio was sitting in. Temari had a clear view of them and smirked.
"Temari," Gaara started.
"Hm?" Temari held up her menu to her nose. It didn't quite cover her eyes, so that she could see the trio's table.
"Stalking is a bad thing." Gaara replied coolly.
"Look…Sasuke needs to make his move, NOW!" Temari loudly whispered. (Might as well talk if you're going to whisper loudly.)
Gaara sighed.
"Aren't you interfering with Hinata's life?" Gaara asked.
"We're helping her! Even her cousin agreed to help." Temari said. The waiter came back and took their orders.
"Yeah…but…isn't it better for her to choose her love?" Gaara asked.
Temari smirked and crossed her legs and arms.
"Isn't it obvious?" Temari's smirk grew wider.
"Nani?" Gaara raised a brow.
"She loves Sasuke." Temari scoffed.
"How do you know that for sure?" Gaara asked. "She might like Itachi." Somewhat…it was uncomfortable to hear the phrase "She loves Sasuke" in one moment. It was hard for him to say "She might like Itachi," too.
"Itachi is a lying weasel! He doesn't deserve her!" Temari whispered loudly, again.
Gaara sighed.
"What if she loves the lying Itachi?" Gaara asked.
"Testing, testing 1, 2, 3!" The loud voice of TenTen said. Temari cupped her right ear.
"Ouch! I get it! The earphone is working." Temari said.
Gaara smirked.
"Clever…you're using one of those micro chip ear phones/speakers to communicate with each other." Gaara said.
"Yeah." Temari said. "Phase one…is starting."
oO0Oo
Sasuke was actually bored. He thought at least Itachi would spark up a conversation which Sasuke would hate, but he didn't. The dinner was eerily quiet, and usually Sasuke liked that. For some reason, he hated the quietness when around Hinata.
"Hinata-chan," Sasuke started.
"Hai, Sasuke-kun?" Hinata asked. She hid her enthusiasm. She really wanted to speak with one of the two Uchiha brothers. Hinata was getting really irritated.
"So…have you thought about the "kiss" predicament?" Sasuke asked lamely.
"Um…" Hinata blushed. Itachi noticed this and scowled. "I thought I told you already." Hinata's blush grew worse.
Nani? Did they talk to each other or something? Itachi raised a brow. He knew he didn't hear them talking about the kiss for the past weeks.
"Ah," Sasuke smiled warmly. "I forgot." Hinata blushed furiously. She took a peek at Itachi and saw him having suspicion in his eyes. Hinata looked down at her lap and gulped.
After they finished the dinner, Itachi drove the two back to Neji's apartment. The drive to the apartment was quiet as well. Sasuke didn't even want to spark up a conversation. He was already happy that Hinata remembered her commitment to kiss him. (Lol…)
"Arigato…I had…fun." Hinata smiled nervously. They were at the apartment's door.
"No problem…call me anytime, Hinata-chan." Sasuke smiled briefly at her. Itachi just stood there, staring at her.
"H-hai…" Hinata bowed. Sasuke made a curt wave and headed towards the car. "Itachi-kun…?"
Itachi clenched his fists and pushed her into the apartment. He pushed her against the wall with his hands on the wall beside her head. She couldn't get out.
"Why…" Itachi started to tremble. "Why…why do you choose Sasuke out of all people?!" Itachi shouted. Hinata was shaking with fear.
"I…" Hinata trailed off. She was too afraid to say anything. She had never seen Itachi so mad in her life.
"Sasuke's…an idiot! A bastard! Why do you keep forgiving him for his stupid mistakes?!" Itachi shouted.
"Because I…" Hinata couldn't find a reason…but still…she l-lo-
"Can't you see?! I love you! Since the day I met you…I knew…you were the only one for me…" Itachi lowered his voice a little. Hinata shivered at the thought. She knew Itachi loved her, but…she never would have figured out that he would have told her so soon…and so unexpected.
"I don't care…if…if…you love Sasuke…what will it take…for you to love me?" Itachi pleaded. Hinata gulped. She didn't know what to do…Sasuke…he promised to protect her. They went to school together and yet…they constantly laughed. No matter what the situation was…Hinata was in love with…
Itachi forcefully kissed Hinata and she blinked. Hinata was confused. She had mixed feelings. It felt so wrong…but…
"Itachi…" Sasuke said, looking surprised. He stared at the two's position. Sasuke was shocked.
"Sasuke-kun…!" Hinata freed herself from Itachi's grip. "Sasuke-kun…"
"Iie!" Sasuke ran out the door. He didn't car where his feet were going to take him. He just needed to be away…away from…from…the girl he loved…so very much.
"Hinata-san…" Itachi said. Hinata turned around. She had been hurt. Hinata never felt like this before. She was…sad…Sasuke…he ran away…from her? "Forget him…he's just…a loser." Itachi said coldly.
"…you're….you're wrong!" Hinata shouted at him. Itachi was surprised. "Sasuke might be a jerk sometimes…he might be the most negative person in the whole entire universe sometimes…but…he's someone precious to me! He is not and never will be a loser! He's everything but that…" Hinata started to cry.
"I think it's time for you to go, Uchiha." Neji was leaning against the door of his room.
Itachi didn't answer and walked past Hinata. He left and slammed the door shut. Hinata dropped down onto the floor crying. Yet another kiss was stolen from her…
Neji knelt down beside the crying Hinata and hugged her tightly.
"It's okay…cry it all out…" Neji patted her back. Hinata hiccupped. Her cheeks started to stain with tears.
oO0Oo
Sasuke ran…and ran…and ran. He just did. He didn't care if he went home or not. His feet were acting by themselves. He knew he couldn't cry. It was a sign of weakness.
"If you never let yourself cry, you will never be able to smile." A picture of Hinata said in his mind. Sasuke shook his head while running away…
"Wait!" A voice shouted. He heard footsteps behind him and slowed down, not even looking back at the chaser. He stopped running and so did the chaser.
"Sasuke-kun…" Ino said.
"Nani?!" Sasuke barked and he looked at Ino with dangerous eyes.
"Go back to her…" Ino said, looking terrified. "She loves-"
"I know she loves Itachi, okay?! I saw them kissing!" Sasuke shouted, clenching his fists.
"You're wrong! Itachi forcefully kissed her!" Ino started to shout as well.
"So?!" Sasuke snapped.
"So she never kissed back!!!" Ino shouted.
"I'm quitting the movie." Sasuke said, turning his back from her.
"You can't. It's too late." Ino said.
"Well, too bad! I can't work with those two. I'm sure they'll be happy together." Sasuke said, walking away from her.
"You know what?! Naruto-kun is right! You ARE a teme!" Ino shouted. "I…had a notion that…Hinata-chan loved you."
"She doesn't." Sasuke said plainly.
"Then why did she accept the kiss?!" Ino shouted.
"So she could get it over with! Then she could go make-out later with Itachi all she wants!" Sasuke shouted back. He turned around and glared his deadly glare. Ino flinched but stayed firm.
"You're right…" Ino turned from him. "It's really your fault…now isn't it? If you lose her…it would be your fault." Ino walked away from Sasuke. He just stood there and the clouds started to thunder. Droplets of water started pouring down…leaving Sasuke wet.
oO0Oo
That night, Neji had to stay by Hinata's side until she cried herself to sleep. She slept on his lap while they were on her bed. He was sitting up straight, stroking that long, indigo hair of hers. He gently slipped away from the girl. She moved but didn't wake up. Neji quietly sighed of relief and left her room. Hinata was confused. The moments she had been sharing with Sasuke were precious to her…he knew that much. Neji leaned on her door.
Neji sighed once more and headed towards his room. Ever since they were little, Sasuke was Hinata's only best friend at the time, besides Neji of course. But, Neji was always in a different class than her because of one year age difference. Sometimes, Neji wanted to be as old as Hinata. She wouldn't have to deal with all the suffering that you had if you hung out with Uchiha Sasuke. He was handsome, and she was normal (to Hinata at least). Girls were infuriated and started to threaten and harass her, but Sasuke protected her nonetheless.
Neji lied down on his bed. There was a window on the left-hand side of his room, and he turned over to face it. He could see the busy streets with the cars driving and whatnot. It was nice to look outside…seeing as everything was peaceful…but it wasn't. Neji sighed. Hinata was confused, Sasuke was angry, and Itachi was…hard to figure out. Neji had known Itachi loved her, but Hinata hadn't yet registered his feelings into her heart. She needed time. But now, Neji knew who she truly loved.
oO0Oo
Hinata woke up lazily, but she still lied in her laying position. She didn't feel like filming a scene, today. Hinata wondered to herself if Tsunade could do a few scenes without her. It would be okay…Hinata guessed. Neji opened the door on cue, and Hinata quickly shut her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
"Nice try, Ms. Actress." Neji sat down on her bed, next to her sleeping figure. "I know you're awake." Hinata opened her eyes and turned over to meet Neji. "So how are you feeling, today?" Neji brushed some bangs out of Hinata's face. He felt the dry tears still stuck to her face.
"Sick." Hinata replied. She sounded like Sasuke or Itachi saying that.
"I'll call Tsunade-sama to tell her that you can't do any filming today, okay?" Neji stood up. "After that, I got to go to the University. I actually have some business there, today."
"Y-yeah." Hinata answered. Neji reassuringly smiled at her.
"I promise I'll get home early today to cook for you." Neji smirked. Hinata twitched. Neji's cooking was horrible. "I'm just kidding…I'll buy something on my way home." Neji smiled and left her room.
Hinata sighed. She wasn't physically sick…it was more mentally. Her heart felt very hurt and all she could think about was Sasuke running away from her. What if he ran away from home? What if Sasuke could never talk to her again? These questions ran through her mind.
"Hinata-chan," Sasuke started.
"Hai, Sasuke-kun?" Hinata asked.
"So…have you thought about the "kiss" predicament?" Sasuke asked lamely.
"Um…" Hinata blushed. Itachi noticed this and scowled. "I thought I told you already." Hinata's blush grew worse.
"Ah," Sasuke smiled warmly. "I forgot." Hinata blushed furiously.
This is no time for thinking about kissing Sasuke-kun! Hinata blushed madly and pulled the covers over her head. Demo…I wonder how it feels-No! Stop it, Hinata! Stop!
Hinata heard voices in the house and took a peek at her door. She sat up excitedly. Maybe it was Sasuke?
Sasuke-kun! Hinata thought excitedly.
"Thanks, we'll take good care of her!" Ino said while opening the door to Hinata's room. "Hey, Hinata-chan." TenTen made a curt wave, and the two decided to grab two stools and sit by her bed.
"Neji-kun just left, so we'll be taking care of you." Ino smiled.
"Wait…TenTen-chan…?" Hinata asked, confused.
"I was just on my way there. I'll go there later." TenTen smiled. Hinata nodded.
"I'll be here by your side for the whole day, okay sweetie?" Ino smiled. "Lookie, I even brought a basket of apples!" She squealed.
"I brought you some rice balls. I know they're plain, but I know you like them plain." TenTen smiled, holding up a bag.
"A-arigato…you two didn't have to go through the trouble of doing all this." Hinata said.
"Ah, but we wanted to!" Ino smiled.
TenTen looked at her watch.
"Oops, got to get going. See you guys later!" TenTen smiled and rushed out of the apartment.
"I know she loves Itachi, okay?! I saw them kissing!" Sasuke shouted, clenching his fists.
Ino clenched her fists on her lap and looked sad.
"What's wrong, Ino?" Hinata asked worriedly.
"Iie. It's nothing. Say…" Ino said while grabbing an apple, a knife, and a small plate from the basket. She placed the plate on her lap and started to peel the skin off of the apple. "How was yesterday? I didn't get to see you almost all day." Hinata flinched.
"Um…" Hinata looked down at her hands. "I…just went out with some friends."
"Who?" Ino asked. She wanted to figure out if Hinata really did kiss back Itachi.
"…um…old friends." Hinata answered truthfully.
"I mean…what are their names?" Ino asked.
Hinata sighed.
"Itachi and…Sasuke." Hinata answered quietly.
"I see…so why are you sick today?" Ino asked. What was this, twenty questions or something?
"It was raining last night and I happened to be outside without an umbrella." Hinata answered smoothly. She had learned that from the best…which Sasuke was.
Ino looked closely at Hinata's face.
"Your face would be flushed by now." Ino said.
Hinata sighed. Ino was becoming her second sister. Neji was good at figuring things out. Hinata never knew how Ino could be this observant.
"I'm just…sad…or…confused…" Hinata said.
"Did Sasuke do something?" Ino asked, hiding her anger. The knife was trembling in her hands, but she started to cut the apple into slices now.
"The other brother." Hinata said.
"Ah…Itachi." Ino said. "Tell me…do you love him?"
"Of course." Hinata answered honestly.
"Don't get me started, honey…" Ino said.
"Oh…that love." Hinata sighed. "Iie…"
Ino was shocked at this. Usually Hinata would say "I don't know" or "why would you think such a thing?" Ino inwardly smiled at this, knowing who Hinata truly loved. She put the pieces of apple on the small plate and handed it to Hinata. She thanked her for the apples and began nibbling on a piece. But…the person who she loved right now…was angry.
oO0Oo
Gaara punched the wall.
"Temper, Gaara." Temari warned. She was leaning against a wall in a dressing room in Konoha's modeling agency. Tsunade had just announced that Hinata was sick today and couldn't do any filming. The filming had to be done with the scenes without her. "She'll be back tomorrow. She's a strong girl."
Gaara turned around and glared at his sister.
"This was all the Uchiha brothers' fault…" Gaara mumbled. His fist started to tremble. It was still at the wall in its fisted position. "If she quits this movie…"
"She won't quit. Hinata-chan made a promise to be in this movie with you, ne?" Temari pointed out. "She's not the sort of person to break a promise, but…I have no promises about Sasuke…" She crossed her arms.
"I'm going to go kill." Gaara said, walking out of the dressing room.
Temari sighed. He was going to go kill Sasuke, she guessed.
Gaara stomped out of the room and saw Deidara. He grabbed a hold of his shirt and glared at him.
"Where is…Sasuke?" Gaara asked threateningly.
"I don't know!" Deidara said, frightened. "He hasn't shown up yet."
"He isn't coming." Itachi said, out of the blue. Gaara let go of Deidara's shirt and stared at Itachi.
"What do you mean?" Gaara asked his fists clenched. He noticed that Itachi had his camera hanging around his neck.
"He just isn't." Itachi replied plainly.
And with that, Gaara left the two.
"Yo Itachi-kun…you know Karin didn't show up for the filming two weeks ago." Deidara said when Gaara returned to his dressing room.
"…you're wrong." Itachi said darkly.
Deidara blinked.
"Nani?"
"Karin was there, Deidara." Sasori said, butting into the conversation.
"No, she wasn't." Deidara denied.
"She's a pretty sneaky reporter/photographer. Actually…what's even more suspicious is that Karin isn't posting any articles about the Sasuke and Hinata thing, yet." Sasori pointed out, putting his finger to his mouth. It was a gesture of thinking for him. "Itachi-kun…you made a deal with her that day…didn't you?"
Itachi's face remained expressionless.
"I cannot lie. Yes, I did." Itachi replied. "Though, I cannot say to what we have agreed upon."
"You're apart of Akatsuki. You have no choice." Sasori smirked.
"I'm only obliged to tell if President asks me to." Itachi replied coolly.
Sasori's smirk faded.
"Itachi-kun, you're so serious today! Why is that?" Deidara asked, looking at his face.
"It's…nothing." Itachi said, gripping his camera. He walked away without saying anything more.
"It must have been that cutie, Hinata-san." Sasori replied.
"Yeah." Deidara said, stuffing his hands into his pockets. "She's the only one who would make him act like this. Maybe he told her…?" Deidara smirked.
"Most likely…but…it seems like she didn't take it so well, or she's confused." Sasori said.
"I'm going with the confused part. If Hinata didn't take it so well, Itachi wouldn't even be here like Sasuke-kun!" Deidara said.
"Yeah…" Sasori said. "Speaking of Sasuke-kun, where is he?"
To be continued…
Mshinata: I stole Sasuke. That's why he's gone. MUHAHA! Just kidding, just kidding…he would be no use to me if I stole him…unless I tortured him, but other than that…yeah…useless. –Crosses arms and nods-
Sasuke: Good…wait…HEY!!!
Mshinata: I think I'm going to update faster…maybe…because the writing competition is about a month and a few days away. I need to get ready for it, so yeah…-sweat drops-
Sasuke: It's not like you're going to win.
Mshinata: I know! Because like…they give you two topics to pick from and it's either life-related (gardening, etc…) or school related (free period, etc…). I hate those topics really. xP I'm more of a fiction writing person. SCREW THOSE TOPICS! xD I dislike school anyways.
Sasuke: School makes you smart.
Mshinata: Technically, the books and teachers make you smart.
Sasuke: Generally, school makes you smart.
Mshinata: Technically, you're an idiot.
Sasuke: Generally, you're a bitch.
Naruto punches Sasuke.
Naruto: Don't be so mean to mshinata-chan!
Mshinata: Arigato, Naru-chan! –Smiles-
Naruto: Anytime! –Smiles back-
Ino: Please give the writer sweet reviews!
Mshinata: By the way, even if I hate school doesn't mean I'm stupid, or I don't get good grades.
