I feel like I ended last chapter too soon. So I'll be starting with what happened a little before what happened in the end of the chapter. And I guess this chapter can be rated 'M' if you like. I don't think so but…

Recap:

He went over her and sat next to her. She looked at him still with the happy eyes she had on when she was playing innocently with the water. And if anyone asked him, her eyes where what possessed him to kiss her at that moment.

Chap 13

Hinata was wide awake. You'd think the path from Suna to Konoha would make her exhausted. She felt exhausted but she just couldn't go to sleep. So, getting up slowly so she didn't wake up Kyo or Tomoyo, she made her way out of the tent. For some reason she tried not to get Gaara's attention while she walked away from their campsite, she knew it was useless though; he could sense anyone even if he didn't want to. While she made her way to the lake she could fell his eyes on her.

When she got to the lake she felt like she was finally realized; running water always had that effect on her, ever since she was little. Crouching near the water she started making water patterns in the air. She absolutely loved doing that even though Kiba always said she looked like a kid while doing it.

She sensed someone coming her way and instantly froze but as soon as she recognized it she relaxed a bit. She couldn't help wondering why he was heading her way though. And as soon as she thought that he was already sitting near her and watching while she happily played with the water.

When she looked at him she was a bit startled when she saw the look on his face. It was the same one Gaara had just before he kissed her. And just like that time she did get kissed and again she was too shocked to respond. Just when he parted of her and she saw the disappointment in his eyes she realized what happened.

And no one was as shocked as Sasuke when she cupped his face and crashed her lips into his. The shock was gone as fast as it came as he greedily responded to her kiss. Her hands trailed from his face to his neck in an attempt of bringing him closer and his hands went to her waist so that now she was sitting on his lap. Sasuke nibbled a bit on her lower lip and hesitantly she opened her mouth. Slowly his mouth made his way into her mouth and began to explore the inside of it. It made shivers go through her body and uncertain of what she was doing she started to rub her tong against his. It has Sasuke's turn to have shivers go through his body. The kiss got more and more intense and their hands traveled through each others bodies. Hinata seemed to be truly enjoying touching his well toned chest. Neither had really kissed anyone before, unless you count Gaara and Naruto (something Sasuke did not like to remember), so instinct kicked in and probably guided them because after they parted they had no idea what possessed them to do that. They were both panting heavily but Sasuke was the one who recovered first and decided to attack her perfectly white neck that he'd been dying to kiss for weeks now. The soft kisses earned a gasp from Hinata even though he wasn't really doing as much as he wanted; he didn't want to mark her since he knew Neji would probably throw a fit after he saw it. But if he wasn't hallucinating he was sure those light kisses were enough to make her purr.

"Sa-Sasuke…" She said between gasps making him stop his work on her neck and bring his attention back to her face. Gently cupping her face he brought his own near hers and gave her a long tender kiss. And after parting form it he pressed his forehead on hers and they stood there for what it felt like forever gazing at each other; no need to say anything since their eyes did all the talking. Sasuke laid them on the grass and Hinata cuddled against his chest, finally being able to go to sleep.

Tenten waited patiently near the gates of Konoha. She had a feeling Hinata was coming home today and she had been sitting there with her teammates the whole morning.

"Tenten, just give up. Hinata-sama probably will come back a little before the festival." Neji said for the fifth time that morning. He has clearly upset to be sitting around doing nothing while they could use this time in a better way, training for example. He was almost tempted to run around Konoha with Lee but his pride made him stay with his female teammate.

"She will come today. I'm telling you Neji, I have a sense for these things."

"For the last time Tenten; she won't …" But he was curt short because Tenten had sprinted towards the gates as fast as he could blink

"Hinata-chan!!" Neji watched dumbfounded Tenten pounce his cousin onto the ground while Sasuke also watched then with a slight twitch in one of his eyes.

"Ten-tenten-chan! Yo-you are squishing me"

"Oh! I'm sorry Hinata-chan but I missed you so much!" she said getting off the ground but not really letting Hinata go.

"I wasn't even gone that much."

"But even though. It was too much." Hinata sighed; Tenten could be so emotional sometimes.

"Why did you come back so early Hinata-sama?"

"Neji-niisan. I didn't see you there. How are you?"

"I'm fine but you didn't answer my question."

"Oh. Gaara has some things he has to discuss with Tsunade-sama. We should be heading to her office to report about the mission right now."

"That means you have to let go of her Tenten"

"Fine. You're such a spoilsport Neji."

"I'll promise I'll talk to you later Tenten."

"But Hinata-neechan, you promised you'd show me around the village after we talked to the Hokage!" Kyo said tugging at Hinata's pants. Tenten and Neji eyed the little boy that seemed younger than he actually is.

"Who's the midget?" Tenten said raising an eyebrow at the boy."

"I'm not a midget!" He screamed loudly making Tenten flinch and some passerby's to look at them.

"Calm down Kyo-kun. Tenten-chan means no harm. I'll give you a tour of the village and after that I'm going to talk to Tenten-chan ok?" She said while cradling the boy in her arms. He pouted and nodded at her making her smile. She kissed his forehead witch made him blush.

Tenten watched the group go to the Hokage's office with a small smile on her face. She didn't miss to notice that Hinata and Sasuke were standing rather close to each other.

"I didn't expect to see you here until next week" Tsunade said when they got to her office. As usual her desk was filled with scrolls of undone paperwork.

"I have something to discuss with you and it might take a while to decide about it."

"Really? What's so important that couldn't wait until the festival?"

"One of my villagers wishes to move to Konoha."

"Did Temari finally decide to live with Shikamaru? "

"Hey!" Temari shouted with her face bright red. Hinata and Tomoyo had to put their hands over their mouths to stifle their giggles.

"No, not Temari. Tomoyo-san and her son Kyo wish to start a new life here in Konoha."

"Hn. For now I don't see why not. We'll discuss this trough the time you'll be spending here and see how well they adjust."

"Thank you Tsunade"

"There's no reason to thank me Gaara. I'm just doing my job. You're dismissed"

"Hinata-neechan , can you show me around the village now?"

"First we're going to my house so you can leave you things there until you guys move here definitely."

"And after that?"

"After that I'll show…"

"SASUKE-KUN!!" Everybody flinched at the shrill shout from pink haired girl coming from the hall. It wasn't long until she was latched at his arm and looking at him adoringly. "I missed you so much. How was your mission?"

"It was fine now let go of me Sakura." He said while shaking the girl of his arm. He had sensed Hinata wasn't happy about the way Sakura latched herself at him. He stopped the urge to smirk at that.

"Hinata-neechan?"

"Hn? Oh right. Let's go. See you later Sasuke, Sakura" No one missed the cold tone she said Sakura's name and everyone was a bit startled by it.

"What's wrong with her?" Sakura asked only to realize everyone had left her.

Hinata started showing the village to Kyo. After Kyo was finally tired they meet with Naruto at Ichiraku's and decided to have a bite with him.

"So Hinata-chan . How was everything in Suna?"

"Everything was fine."

"Sasuke wasn't a prick was he?"

"Iie. Sasuke is a very nice person Naruto-kun" The blush on Hinata's face made Naruto smile. At least his plan was making someone happy.

"Hinata-chan!" Hinata turned on her stool to see Tomoyo entering the ramen bar with Iruka entering right behind her.

"Tomoyo-san! Iruka-sensei? What are doing here?"

"Well, since Kyo-kun wanted so much that you showed him the village Gaara-sama asked your Hokage to get someone to escort me. So I met Iruka-kun" Tomoyo said with a slight tinge of pink on her cheeks.

"Oh. I see… Well, since you are here could you take care of Kyo-kun? I have to go meet Tenten-chan."

"Of course he's my son after all" Tomoyo said giggling and taking Hinata's empty seat next to Kyo, making Iruka seat on the other side of the boy who was already glaring at him.

Hinata was already outside when she felt someone tugging on the backside of her shirt. Turning around she saw that it was Naruto.

"Naruto-kun? Do want to say something?"

"You said you're meeting with Tenten right?" He said looking at the ground and scratching his back of his neck in a way that made him look embarrassed.

"Yeah. She said she wanted to talk to me about something. Do you want me to give her a message?"

"No… I mean yeah! Tell that I…tell her that… I just… You know, forget it." He said turning around so fast that she almost missed the blush on his cheeks.

"That's odd. Naruto-kun generally doesn't hesitate to say something" Hinata thought while going back to her way to look for Tenten. After a while she just stopped and did the most obvious thing to do.

"Byakugan" She spotted her friend on the training grounds and rushed over there thinking why she didn't do that from the beginning.

While passing through some trees at the training ground suddenly someone grabs her waist from behind making her gasp. But after she recognizes the chakra she relaxes.

"Sasuke, don't do that. You startled me." She said turning around in his arms

"I know. That's the fun of it." He said smirking down at her.

"Meanie." She said getting of his arms and making Sasuke's smirk broaden. She started walking the direction she remembered seeing Tenten and he followed.

"It was hard to find you alone today after you left the Hokage's tower."

"I had to show Kyo around Konoha and you were with Sakura so …" She wasn't able to continue because Sasuke's hand grabbed her elbow making her turn and stare at him. He was frowning.

"Hinata. You have nothing to worry about Sakura." He said bringing her closer and cupping one of her cheeks with the hand that wasn't occupied.

"I know. It's just that she is so clingy and all that I can't help but to get a bit frustrated." She put one of her hand over the one that was cupping her cheek.

"Believe me when I say that I'd rather live without that." She giggled at his remark. He pressed his forehead against hers making her blush at the close proximity. He was about to close the distance between them when they heard the sound of someone clearing their throat.

"Am I interrupting something?" Tenten said with a Cheshire grin on her face. Her friend's presence was all that took to make Hinata retreat from Sasuke's arms and turn a bright shade of red while Sasuke just mumbled sarcastically abut Tenten's impeccable timing.

"Te-tenten-chan! I wa-was looking fo-for you"

"Really? You're certainly not going to find me in Sasuke's eyes." Tenten said coming closer to her friend so that now she stood right next to the even-more-red Hinata.

"I-I… we were…. just…" Hinata looked like she was about to faint of embarrassment.

"Calm down Hinata-chan. I'm just messing with you." Tenten said messing her shorter friend's hair.

"It no-not funny Tenten-chan" She said pouting at her friend.

"But you're so adorable that I just can't help myself. But why were you looking for me anyway?"

"You said you wanted to talk remember?"

"Oh yeah, right. That." Tenten's expression visibly fell and that made Hinata frown.

"Is everything alright Tenten-chan?"

"Everything is fine. It's just that it's kind of privet." Both girls looked at Sasuke who was still standing there.

"Sasuke, do you mind if I meet you later?"

"Of course not." Sasuke said with his back already turned to them. He had already started walking when Tenten shouted his name.

"Sasuke-san! You can stick around and wait for Hinata if you want. Just don't eavesdrop on us okay?

"Tch." Sasuke said with a roll of his eyes and began walking again but he didn't go to the exit of the training ground.

"I'll guess that was a 'yes'. He seems to speak the same language as Neji." Tenten said turning to Hinata only to see that her friend was still frowning.

"Tenten-chan. What is it that you want to talk about?"

"Well Hinata-chan. It's about Naruto…"

Blinks once. Blinks twice.

I can't believe that I wrote a kissing scene. I never did that before. I'm kind of worrying if it is too much for a 'T' rated fic. I think not but some might think otherwise. What do you guys think?

And I do hope you guys review this time. Last chapter there were so little review that it makes me wonder if some of you abandoned me T.T
