A/N: Sorry, the school sucked the life outta me but it's all over now…. Just one more last wave from the terrors and I'll break free from the leash they put around my neck…

Okay it's continuation time…

Just TAKE NOTE of this, in the last chapter sasuke said "I hate her more" to Hinata not to Sakura, okay?

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto.

She slipped on her winter coat before slipping her gloves on each hand. Snow fell earlier this year and in situations like this, one would love to crawl under the covers and sleep but not her, she still got works to do! That musicale won't decorate on its own and that is why she has to go.

She treaded over the snow to her school. Nobody is there, not like she's expecting people to swarm in the school, seeing that it's Saturday.

I just wish he'd come… Hinata blushed in her own thought. She's involuntarily wishing for his presence.

She entered the biggest AVR in Konoha Academy which would host the musicale. Upon entering she saw him there, leaning against the stage with closed eyes. Her heart thundering against her chest…

He's actually here…

"You finally showed-up, huh?" He said with his eyes still closed, snapping her out of her little thought. "I'm sorry! I didn't know that you----"She tried to explain but Sasuke cut her in. "Don't even try to explain… Let's just get this over with…" She nodded her head, "H-hai!" and followed as Sasuke went over the stock room to get the decorations.

For hours they decorated the AVR with Christmas decorations and trinkets.

As Hinata started singing absentmindedly inspired by decorating the AVR in Christmas motif. "Whenever I see girls and boys selling lantern on the street, I remember the child in the manger as He sleeps, wherever there are people---"

"Exchanging cards, I believe that Christmas is truly in their hearts…" Hinata abruptly stopped in her singing as she heard him of all the people to join in her singing! Hearing his rich masculine voice singing this carol is just so… one of a kind? She stared at him dumbly, as he tilted his head slightly, "What?" He asked a bit annoyed?

Hinata blushed and nervously laughed. "Nandemonai! I just thought you had a really good voice!" She answered nervously back. "Hmn…" was all his reply. She blushed deeper

Wrong Answer! I have to get out of this situation! She thought frantically over herself asking why does she always ruining something when all is going out smoothly?!

"Let's light our Christmas trees." She continued trying to return the friendly mood, wishing with all her heart that he'd sing again. Honestly, she love the way his voice sounded like… "For a bright tomorrow." He continued her song and she smiled at him, "where all nations are at peace and all are one in God." And they sung in harmony with each other, their voices blending perfectly…

She continuously sings sweet Christmas carols as he listens to her songs, joining in her singing every once in awhile as they decorate the room, forming different designs with garlands. The ambience was serene and warm, and if you're a stranger to see them right now, you'll think that they're dear friends or rather a young sweet couple if you squint hard.

"Sasuke, will your mother mind that you're still here?" she asked out of the blue as she ascended a movable ladder. "No." His short reply made her all curious as he handed her a Christmas ball. "Why?" She asked as he hung the Christmas ball in the ceiling and she heard him take a sharp breath. "Because she doesn't even know that I'm out." He answered back handing another Christmas trinket to her. Now that puzzled her. "How come?" She asked out of pure curiosity and he sighed at her insistence but nonetheless, he decided to answer. "Because I moved out of my house…" With that, she decided that it is something that is better left alone and she continued to hang the Christmas balls.

Taking a deep breath, she looked around the AVR, examining their work. Excellent. They had perfectly transformed the gloomy spacious AVR to this serene Christmas atmosphere. Satisfaction seared inside her and a joyous look spread all over her features. She then noticed that Sasuke was looking intently at her, "Is there something on my face?" She asked unsurely.

"I hate you… Nothing has changed…" He flatly told her and left her alone. She felt tears threatening to fall from her eyes. How could he say those to her? Awhile ago they were peacefully and happily decorating, she even thinks that they are friends… But he really has to ruin everything, does he? And say that he hates her! She closed her eyes, pushing the tears behind her eyes. She's just tired for the day, she refuse to cry.

I had cried enough when Naruto went to New York for soccer and for him also, whenever he pushes me away…

A/N: Why soccer? Cause I got no other idea and it's the first game that came into my mind. Review please. They'd be deeply appreciated.
