I sense that some of you want to kill me right now...

But I have good excuses! I know I said I would update more often because school was over, however I had to go Christmas shopping. And I absolutely hate picking up presents that aren't for me. And after that I went on a trip that lasted quite a while and when I finally thought I would be able to write my computer crashes. I mean reallyreally crashes. I had to buy a new one T.T.

And to top it all, I'm having writers block. I'm practically forcing me to write so that you wont kill me.

Now that I explained myself I hope you aren't as mad now...

And I'm already warning that this chapter might have a lot of erros because my auto correction program is not installed -.-

Recap:

And for the second time that day Hinata made Sasuke Uchiha laugh.

Chap 11: Fainting

Hinata could have been knocked over with a feather after that. The Sasuke Uchiha had laughed. He never laughed. Well, at least she had never seen him laugh. She liked the sound of it though, she sure wouldn't mind to make him laugh again... just for her.

"Oh my God. Now I can't even think straight near him! My mind seems like it turned into pudim..." Lost in her own thoughts she didn't notice that the man next to her was also deep in thought. With thoughts not so different from hers.

"Crap! She made me laugh again. Twice in one day, guess is a new record. It's ironic that the dobe and that annoying girl that I spent most of my life in Konoha with have never heard me laugh truthfully. I guess she's the only one who can do that."

"Hinata-neechan!" A shout behind them brought them back to the real world. Apparently they were already back at the crowded streets of Suna. Looking back at where the shout came from he didn't actually see anyone, but by pure instinct he decided to look down because the owner of the voice was obviously Kyo.

"Kyo-kun!" Hinata said happily and already bending down to scoop the little boy in her arms. Looking at the boy better Sasuke saw that he was that small; he was about his size when he was eight.

"What are you two doing here?" The little one asked eyeing the both of them suspiciously. He had a nagging feeling that there was something going on between those two.

"We were just walking around, brat" While Kyo glared at him , Hinata gave him a thankful look. He remembered she didn't want Kyo to know that they were training and he also knew she was terrible at lying.

"Don't call me a brat!!" Hinata didn't even flinch already knowing that he was going to say that.

"I call you whatever I want brat." Sasuke said smirking down at the boy that , even though he has being held by Hinata he still didn't reach his head since Hinata's head could barely reach his chin.

"Fine then, duck butt." Kyo said sticking his toung out to Sasuke.

"Great, now I have to take care of two kids." Hinata said rowling her eyes and managing to shut up both os said 'kids'. Having accomplished what she wanted she walked away from a dumbstruck Sasuke and with a blushing Kyo in her arms.

"Shit. Now she thinks I'm immature. Damn brat had to push my buttons." He thought while running to catch up to them. When he finally did he opened his mouth to apologize but found really hard to do so.

Senseing that he was trying to say something she looked up at Sasuke who was opening and closing his mouth repeatedly but not really saying anything. Having already put Kyo on the ground after he apologized for being rude and taking his hand so that she wouldn't lose him, Hinata inched closer to Sasuke to make sure he was actually saying something but she wasn't hearing.

Startled by the sudden movement that she did Sasuke looked straight into Hinata's eyes. There she could clearly see what he was trying to tell her: "Sorry for being an jerk" . She smiled brightly and gently squeezed his forearm trying to reassure him of what she was going to say.

"It's fine... It was kind of cute on your part." The last part she whispered more to herself, however since she had inched closer to Sasuke before he was able to hear it. She also realized that and stared at him with wide eyes and her face was getting redder by the second. It took Sasuke a second before he realized Hinata had fainted and was starting to fall. Quickly he took her by the waist so that she wouldn't hit the ground.

"What did you do duck butt?"

But Sasuke didn't answer because he actually didn't know what had happened.

Back at Konoha

TenTen was mad. No. She was pissed.

It finally hit her. How could she be so stupid? She heard Shikamaru and Naruto talking about it some day ago but it was only today that it hit her.

Finally locating who she was looking for she took one of her shurikens and purposely missed it.

"Hey! What was that for?!?" Her target (aka Naruto) shouted at her, probably mad because she interrupted his training. She couldn1t care less tough.

"You are the biggest hypocrite, egoistical, self-centered ass I had the unpleasure off knowing." She said every word trowing several shurikens at him. When she was close enough she took a kunai instead and was ready to slice his neck when his hand stopped her.

"Could you at least tell me why you are insulting and trying to kill me?!" TenTen was really starting to freak him out. She was always kind of intimidating but now she was really scary.

"Why?!? You have the guts to ask why?!"

"Well, it would be nice to know why I died." He said already recuperated from the shock and giving her trade mark grin. And even though she was mad at him she could feel her heart skip a bit because of his smile.

Releasing her arm from his hand she put her kunai back where it belonged and resumed in giving him the worst glare she could.

"You are using my best friend, and your best friend, for your own egoistical reasons!"

"What?" He said scratching the back of his neck looking truly confused.

"Cute"She couldn't help to think. And if she was a weaker girl she would have blushed.

"You really are an idiot. What I'm saying is that the only reason that you are trying to get Sasuke and Hinata together is so that you ca have a shot with Sakura isn't it?" She noticed some of the color of his usually tanned face when away when she finished her sentence.

"Ano...well..that is..."

"Why? What's so special about her anyway?"

"Sakura-chan is...Sakura-chan is..." Naruto started to panic. When he was young he would generally say that Sakura was beautiful, confident and strong and that was why he loved her. But now he realized that wasn't reason enough. Those words could be used with most girls he knew.

"You don't even know anymore do you? After so many years stuck with the idea that you like her you can't even realize when the feeling stopped."

"Look. Why do you care anyway? It's not like it affects you in any way." TenTen understood how Hinata must have felt all those years now. This guy was totally oblivious to what was right in front of her.

"You really are a idiot. You and Sakura really deserve each other. You both are in the illusion that you love someone who will never love you back and can't even see that there is someone who cares for you right in front of you."

"Hn? What do you mean?" But he was too late because she was already gone.

Darkness. That's all she could see. Probably because her eyes were closed. She could fell that she was laying down on something soft. Slowly opening her eyes and adjusting to the clarity she sat up. She was on the couch of Gaara's living room.

"Oh right. I fainted. It's been a while since I've done that"

"You're finally up" Sasuke said entering the living room with a plate on his hands.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I must have been heavy."

"Don't worry about it. Here, you've missed lunch." He said giving her the plate of food.

"Thank you."

He sat on the chair nearest to her and watched her eat in silence. And even though he knew she must be starving she still ate like the heiress she was raised to be; elegant and well mannered. She would be a perfect wife.

"Where is Kyo-kun?" She asked when she had finished eating and was starting to feel uncomfortable with him staring openly at her.

"His mother took him home saying that he shouldn't be a bother."

"Kyo-kun is never a bother."

"Tch..." For some reason Sasuke couldn't bring himself to tell her the little brat became utterly annoying after she passed out. Kankuro had to refrain Temari from strangling him. The only reason the boy wasn't killed was because his mother came to get him.

"Oh my! It's dark outside. How long have I've been out cold?" Hinata said looking wide eyed ou the huge glass window that showed the darkness outside.

"Well... you missed dinner too." He was amused when she turned to him abruptly and stared at him like he had just said the most atrocious thing in the world, like Naruto had quit on ramen on something.

"What? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Temari wanted to but then I said that you were probably tired from the spar we had earlier. So she let you sleep and threatened anyone who even thought about waking you up."

"That does sound like Temari." She said smiling and for some reason that made his breath stuck in his throat. The things that happened before she fainted flashed in his mind and if he was a weaker man he would have blushed. But he was Uchiha Sasuke and something like Hyuuga Hinata having called him cute would not make him blush.

Silence. Awkward silence.

Hinata started to fidget in her seat. The reason she fainted came back to her mind and she could fell her cheeks burning. What possessed her to call Sasuke cute she will never know. Cute was a word that guys generaly didn't loke being called; she knew that because she had called Kiba cute once and her teammate seemed utterly embarrassed by it.

Now there where they. Sitting in awkward silence and not looking at each other. The other was one of the few people they had that they could stay silent and comfortable. It seemed that most of their friends had a gift for being loud. But now it seemed something had changed that made both of them uncomfortable.

"Gaara wanted to talk to you when you waked up"

"Oh really? I'll be going then." She said it all in one breath and hurried out the room. The moment the other was out of sigh both of them sighed in relief.
