Thank you all for the reviews! You make me so happy. (Yes, I'm that easy to please)

Peppy526 asked me how many chapters there are going to be. Well…

I have no idea.

Oh, and I have to warn you guys…I don't write fight scenes. I absolutely suck at it.

I just saw that some phrases of the last chapter were erased. Nothing important though. Just the last one and one of Tenten thinking about how Hinata would react because of her jacket.

Anyway, I already put them there again

And now with the next chapter:

Chap 7:

Hinata woke up really early the next day; even though she had stayed up late waiting for Sasuke to come back. She ended up sleeping in the process. That's why when she woke up the next morning on her sleeping bag she was surprised and a bit freaked out. She looked at her surroundings and saw that Sasuke was still asleep. They weren't using tents because the closer they got to Suna the hotter it got; which actually made Hinata glad to have lost her jacket.

"He must have put me inside my bag." She realized with a smile while blushing a bit. She had been worried all night thinking that she made him mad at something, but it seems that he wasn't that mad at her.

She stood up and decided to go to the river that was near were they were staying to freshen up. They had been traveling for three days now and she surely didn't want to get to Suna in the state she was; sweaty and with the scent blood of other people on her.

After she had done that she came back to find Sasuke still sleep. Which was odd considering that he always woke up first. She kneeled next to him and put her hand on his forehead.

"He isn't feverish. Why is he still asleep?" Since he wasn't sick she started to poke him so that he woke up. He only grunted and scooted away from her. She giggled of how much like a child that didn't want to wake up he looked like. She poked him again and he looked at her with his sharingan activated that would make many people flinch but it only made her want to laugh even more because of the image of a child that was still in her head.

Sasuke looked at the giggling girl that had woken him up and wondered what was so damn funny. Then he realized that she had woken up before him and then had to wake him up; which was a really rare thing to happen. He was always the first one to wake up. But since he had stayed up late last night thinking too much about her and Gaara he must have lost track of time.

"Do you want to eat breakfast now or do you want to wait until we get to Suna?" Hinata asked when she finally controlled her laughter.

Back at Konoha you could see Naruto and Tenten in Ichiraku's discussing about something.

"You what?!" Naruto yelled drawing the attention of some of the customers and the people outside as well.

"I just took it. She didn't even notice it was gone."

"But I bet she was worried sick the next morning. I've never seen her without that jacket on."

"I know. Neji told me that she woke him up almost in tears asking if he had seen it."

"See. You made her cry."

"It was for the best. You have never seen her without the jacket so you have no say in this."

"I still think is mean" He said thinking what he would do if someone did the same with his favorite orange jumpsuit.

"What's mean?" Said a voice behind him. He turned to see the pink haired girl he liked so much. The reason behind this entire plan.

"Sakura-chan! Your back!" He had his back turned to Tenten so he missed her rolling her eyes in annoyance. She never got why he and Lee liked Sakura so much. Ok, she really was pretty, smart and now that Tsunade had trained her she was quite strong. But that didn't change the fact that she was just plain annoying.

"I think I never heard her have an entire conversation that she didn't mention at least once Sasuke's name."

"Yes Naruto. I'm finally back. Did you see Sasuke-kun?" Sakura had been out on a mission to the neighbor village to send some medicines and help as much as she could there. They had been attacked by a strange disease. She had been away for a week now so she didn't know where Sasuke had gone.

"Not even five minutes and here she goes with the 'Sasuke-kun' thing"

"Oh. He went on a mission and probably will take some time"

"WHAT?! He went on a mission? Without me - I mean us." She corrected herself when she noticed the look on Tenten's face when she noticed that Naruto had slumped back on his seat upon hearing that.

Everyone knew about Naruto's infatuation with Sakura. It was more obvious then Hinata's infatuation with him. (That only because he always kept talking about how oh so wonderful Sakura-chan is). Tenten hated seeing her friends hurt, and in the last months she had become to considerer him as a friend.

"Yeah… it was a special mission so he and Hinata are going to take a while to come back."

"Hinata?!" You could see Sakura's eye begin to twitch. Ever since Sasuke seemed to be more open to Hinata then he ever was to her, Hinata was a sensitive subject near her.

"Yeah. Do you have a problem with that?" Tenten decided to step in to make sure Sakura didn't say anything stupid again that made Naruto upset or worse; her upset.

"A-ano… N-no." Tenten could be very scary when she wanted.

They were finally crossing the gates of Suna. Suna wasn't exactly the most colorful of villages; actually it was mainly the color of the sand, just a bit darker. But even though Hinata thought it was beautiful. The houses were different from the ones in Konoha, they were peculiar. It made her fascinated and also the way people acted there. Most of them were really nice while the others were a bit weird. She understood though, years of misery because of the Shukaku must have had a hard effect on them. It didn't make her stop loving the place thought.

She was always so fascinated by the village that she didn't hear someone calling her name. Sasuke just stared at the little figure that was approaching then at high speed. Soon enough the little 'thing' jumped on Hinata almost making her fall.

"Hinata-neechan!" Now that he looked closer he could see that said 'thing' was a little boy that looked no older then 7, maybe 8. He had light brow hair that was tied in a loose pony tail like the one Hinata and Neji wears (but his is smaller), he has tanned like everyone else in the village and he had honey colored eyes.

"Kyo-kun!"

"You're really here. I thought that Kankuro-baka was only messing with me but then Temari-neechan said that you really were coming and then I stayed near the gates since then waiting for you to come." Well, from what Sasuke could see this kid is as energetic as Naruto. This isn't exactly a good thing.

"You didn't have to do that. I was going to go see you the first time I got a chance."

"I know, but I wanted to be the first to see you. This way I get to annoy Kankuro-baka"

"I see you haven't change much, just got a littler taller."

"Really?" The little boy that didn't even reached her waist said standing a little more upright. Hinata giggled at his behavior. He was just too cute.

"I have to go now. We really needed to go to the Kazekage's tower the minute we got here." And the mention of 'we' Kyo looked at Sasuke only realizing his presence at that moment. He looked up at him with his eyes changing from the warm happy ones that he looked at Hinata to cold analyzing ones. It startled Sasuke how he changed so fast but he didn't let them be known on his appearance. Kyo glared at him and then turned to Hinata eyes softened but still glaring.

"I thought you were dating Gaara-sama" The second after he said that Hinata's face was red.

"I have already to-told you. Gaara-sama and I are only friend."

"Yeah, riiight. So, is this your boyfriend?" He said pointing at Sasuke with not even a hint of embarrassment on his tone or face. No need to say Hinata's face went ten different shades of red. Sasuke was also a bit embarrassed by that but once again his face kept emotionless.

"N-no. S-Sasuke and I a-are only friends too."

"So who is your boyfriend?"

"I already told you I don't have one." She resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Kyo could be really annoying when he wanted.

"And I already told you that men in Konoha must all be blind."

"Thanks Kyo-chan. Now we really have to go see the Kazekage."

"Don't call me Kyo-chan. And I'm going with you; I have to talk to Kaa-san anyway." Hinata just nodded and began walking the direction of the tower with Sasuke and Kyo behind her.

While going there Sasuke noticed that Hinata was well known there. Some of the vendors waved at her; which she responded by smiling and waving back. An old lady that sells flowers went over to her and gave a beautiful lily and welcomed her back; Hinata thanked her and gave her a quick hug before starting to walk again. But something that he didn't like at all was the look that men gave her; it was like they have never seen a woman before. One of them actually stood up from where he was and started walking to them and Sasuke was about to give him a death glare that said 'go away or else' but Kyo beat him to it. It was weird how such a small kid could change like that and be able to scare a grown man. After he scared the man away Kyo went next to Hinata and took her hand; she looked down and him and smiled and kept walking totally oblivious to what had just happened. Weird indeed. He would have to ask Hinata about this kid later.

When they finally got to the tower Kyo went to a different direction saying he would go ask his mother something. They were walking when suddenly someone jumped on Hinata (that seemed to be happening a lot today. He only hoped Gaara wouldn't do that)(a/n: that would be so ooc) ; this time making her fall because this person was taller than her.

"Temari!" And it was really her. She looked the same as he remembered; just a bit older and taller.

"You're finally here. Kyo kept annoying us so much since we told him you were coming that I never wanted so much to see you." She said while helping the other girl up to her feet.

"He really can be annoying when he wants." She said giggling

"Yeah. By the way Gaara is in his office. You must want to see him."

"Yeah, we should be there already. Let's go?" She said turning to Sasuke who was leaning on the wall looking at them with an annoyed face; there had been too many interruptions and now he just wanted to give the damn scroll to Gaara and hope he answered right away. Which he highly doubted he would.

He got off the wall indicating that they could go and she started walking ahead since he didn't know his way around the place. Temari just stared at them with her mouth slightly open. She hadn't noticed Sasuke there and wasn't really expecting him. She just assumed that if someone from Konoha was coming there was a 99.9 percent chance that Hinata was coming too. She didn't even bother to ask who would come too.

When they got to the door he assumed leaded to Gaara's office Hinata stopped, took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Hn" Was all they heard and assumed it was his way to say 'come in'. She opened the door and they came in.

"Kazekage-sama" She said bowing at him. Even thought they were quite close she couldn't just go and call him Gaara while he was officially working. Sasuke being Sasuke just nodded at Gaara how didn't seemed even a bit irritated by it.

"Welcome to my village. Where is the scroll your Hokage wanted so much for me to have?" The first part came out a bit forced and irritated. Sasuke could understand why, Gaara like himself wasn't one to be nice to others if he didn't want to. Too bad his job required him to.

"Right here." Hinata said taking the scroll from the bag that was on her back and handing it to him. The minute he finished dreading they could see his eyes twitching a little.

"You didn't read this did you?"

"No, Tsunade-sama told us not to. Why? Is there something wrong?" He handed her the scroll and she and Sasuke, who was just next to her, began reading it. After they finished Hinata was reader then aver and Sasuke lost even more respect for their Hokage.

"Dear Kazekage-sama,

I'm here to invite you to the festival that there is going to set place in Konoha in two weeks; giving you plenty of time to think about it. Of course that you could refuse but in hopes you won't I'm sending Hinata with this message. I'm sure she'll be more than a good reason for you to come.

Tsunade."

Tsunade just didn't have any sense of … common sense!

"I apologize for this. Tsunade-sama is just…" Hinata left the phrase hanging not really knowing how to continue. This was just so embarrassing.

"I don't have to apologize for the lame excuse of a Hokage that we have."

"Sasuke!"

"He is right thought. You should stop apologizing for others." She lowered her head a bit and her cheeks turned pink. People always said things like that to her. "Uchiha, could you give us a moment?" It was more a demand then a question. Sasuke hesitated for less then a second and then he was gone.

Tenten was walking around not really having anywhere to go. She had left Naruto and Sakura some time now because she had a felling that if she stayed near Sakura much longer she would end up resorting to her weapons. She stopped when she heard two familiar voices on the roof above her.

"It's not going to work." It was Shikamaru

"What do you mean? It's already working; Sasuke and Hinata are talking again"

"You know I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the real reason why you are playing matchmaker. Sakura"

"A-ano…So what? It doesn't hurt to try. And if it doesn't work at least Sasuke and Hinata will be happy right?"

"Probably but you really should forget Sakura. There are other girls out there"

Tenten was almost sure that Shikamaru knew she was listening.

This was longer then normal

And still I left some stuff for the next chapter. That I don't know when it will be on.

But please review!!
