"The Secrets of Uzumaki"

(A/N): Well, here's another chapter… school's out!!! Everybody jump high into the sky!!! YEAH!!! -coughs-… don't mind me… hehehe.

Anyways, a few things I would like you to know… I'm sorry if my sense of humor in fanfics sucks. I am more sarcastic than funny. So usually, if I ever add "Humor" to the genre… expect to see sarcasm in the writing. I don't really know how to make characters funny. Or to make them do things funny. I'm more of a drama queen anyways. Wait, understatement. Make that, "drama human being." There. No need to name ourselves under things we SOOOO are not… .

I hope you all like this chapter. And I also hope that the plot is going well.

Chapter 3

"Annoyance"

Sasuke's POV

DAMMIT!!!! Now what am I supposed to do? I am currently in the body of the boy Hinata is extremely in love with. And above that, I just lied to her. I know that I'm not the kindest person around, but what would the Hyuuga think once she knew that the blonde in front of her was actually Uchiha Sasuke? And mind you, the heiress doesn't really like me... I think she's even a bit scared... I don't know why though. Heh, maybe it's because I left the village... maybe she's just like all the others. Judging them before getting to know them. I know it was wrong for me to leave, but I'm back! I'm not totally a new person, but I'm no longer evil. I would never want to go back to anyone like Orochimaru again to gain power. I'll find a way to beat OR kill my brother MY way... Isn't that good enough?

I sigh inwardly as I look down onto the floor below my feet (Naruto's feet actually.. X.x)... I'm going to have to find a way to keep my real identity secret, at least for a week. And in those seven days, I would have found out what the hell the problem is with the village inhabitants towards my best-friends and rival, Naruto.

"So, Hinata-chan! What brings you to the training grounds?" I ask happily, quite disgusted with myself. Imagine, the stoic, cold, and quiet Sasuke is actually talking like Naruto. No, no... IS trying to BE the blonde himself! How ridiculous. Like they say... "Curiousity killed the cat." Man those sayings can be so damn true at times!

She looks at me with those pure lavender eyes. Ugh, how I hated to see them... such weak looking and nothing but fake happiness filling them.Even I can see that she's actually drowning in sadness and sorrow. Why she keeps on smiling aimlessly, and why she keeps on caring about others when she herself is suffering the most, still ceases to amaze me. AMAZE Uchiha Sasuke... I rarely get amazed by the way...Another surprising event huh?

"I h-have walks e-everday, N-Naruto-kun." She answers simply, those cheeks of hers painted with a deep blush. How dumb, having a crush on the dobe himself. Oh well, everyone needs affection right? Might as well wish him luck since if his heart ever falls for the girl in front of me, he has to be ready for a lot of stuttering and blushing... God it's so irritating!

Out of POV

The survivor in Naruto's body accidentally rolled his eyes, completely forgetting that he was in somebody else's form, and that that form DID NOT roll his eyes so rudely, let alone say things like, "Hinata-chan? Would you please do us all a favor and stop stuttering? It's getting on my nerves. And stop blushing... There's nothing embarrassing happening." Ever heard Uzumaki Naruto cold? Well then, if you haven't, imagine it... because that's exactly how he said the past statement.

The Hyuuga heiress bit her lip and looked at her feet, the blush on her face completely gone.

"H-Hai, Naruto-kun... I sh-shall try." And with those soft yet sad words, she left the blonde who she thought was Naruto to ponder what he had done to make her run away so fast. She just ran, tears threatening to gush out of her lavender eyes any minute soon. This was just too much. What else did the world want from her... was she really that shameful? Was she really that weird? Was she really that freaky? The poor girl quickened her pace, now jumping carelessly from branch to branch to leave the training grounds as soon as possible... something was happening to her stomach, and she had to get back home fast.

Hinata's POV

I... I don't know what's happening... THAT was Naruto-kun? Was it really him who said such cold words? Even if he was rarely sweet or romantic, I knew that he would never say such words to anyone... even to a nobody like me.

I promised myself a year ago that I would no longer cry for my own sake. If I was to ever shed tears, they would be for someone, someone special. So hear I am crying, not exactly because I was hurt, but because I was worried. Worried sick that something had happened to the Naruto I know... something that would actually make him act so... cold.

I stood in front of my bathroom's sink, quickly letting everything I had for breakfast that day, out. Don't ask why that simple statement led me to actually vomit. It just did. Stomachs act weird at times... I guess this would be one.

As soon as that little session of disgust was done, I sat down on my bed, sobbing to myself. This was too much. I HAD to do something... I was alone in Konoha WITH Naruto-kun... AND the love of HIS life was out... I know it's selfish of me, but I NEED to tell him how I feel, before my mind changes about him. But deep down, I knew that that would never happen. I would ALWAYS love the blonde boy, no matter what happens. The problem is what's wrong with him? Why did he say such a thing to me? I was starting to wonder, did I do something wrong? Or... wait... Maybe that's just it. Maybe he's just disgusted with my weakness. Maybe after all those years, he's actually seeing me for the true weakling I am.

Well, I know that I don't have a very good amount of self-confidence, but I needed to do this. I was going to get stronger, just for him. Even if it takes me just a couple of days. I was going to do it. I have to, before he leaves for the mission. I just have to... so that when I do, THEN I can tell him those three words I've been longing to say so much... "Naruto-kun, I love you."

Sasuke's POV

What in the name of Sharingan just happened? Seriously, why the hell did that Hyuuga girl just run away? Surely I didn't hurt her with just a few syllables. Okay... a few WORDS. But really, did I say too much? With the way she looked down, I have no idea if it was from embarrassment or sadness. Jeez, now I'm going to have to fix things up with that weirdo. I don't want to have a problem when that dobe comes back and Hinata's upset from some incident which didn't really occur between her and the REAL Naruto. Rather, it happened between her and somebody she could care less about. Me.

Now that I think about it, if it was me in my real body who had said those words to her, she would just smile to me that fake smile then walk away. Figures, the words of her beloved are the ONLY ones that reach her so ever pure heart. How disgusting.

I sigh deeply... now letting it out freely as I look around, careful so that nobody is watching. In just few seconds after my scan, I am back to the real me. Dark hair, dark eyes, and even in my COMFORTABLE clothes. Unlike those lame THINGS Naruto claims to be proper clothing. He can go and hang himself. How can a jacket, which weighs more than Kakashi's collection of pervert books be comfortable? You tell me.

Man this transforming thing sure is convenient. I would be so mad if I had turned back to the real me with that dobe's clothing. Oh, so very mad.

Well, the first day of my curiosity experiment sure was a failure, although I would never admit that to anyone. So I walk home silently, trying to imagine the events that would soon happen in the coming week. Things are about to get interesting. How annoying... Especially if they happen to involve that shy Hyuuga. I don't want anything to do with her. I don't know why... but it annoys me, she actually LIKES Naruto... She should already know that his heart is already kissing the floor Sakura walks on. Okay, a bit of exaggeration. But what I meant to say was that, can't Hinata see that that blonde loves and will ONLY love that pink haired girl? Even though he's always rejected, he seems to be doing fine by just being by her side. I wouldn't like to say any nonsense... but don't those two loud ninjas serve to be a good couple?

I close my door gently and take my shoes off.

Tomorrow's another day... I hope it doesn't end up like this...

May Hyuuga: A long yet uneventful chapter. I am most disappointed in myself. I hope you all aren't. I will try my best to make things better next time.

By the way, how's Sasuke doing? I kept the sarcasm with him, (remember, it's more like his inner self talking when it's his POV… which means it's not literally OOC) but is he doing okay?

Another question… Would you like a sad or happy ending? Up to you reviewers… the most votes wins… I hope to get enough or else I will decide myself, and believe me, I don't think all of you would like that… hehehehe.

Thanks to all the reviewers and readers out there. You all are too kind . I already have around 13 reviews for only 2 chappies! I'm happy enough. Although, (this is not a complaint) I see some in-progress fanfics out there that have like 16 reviews on their FIRST chapter! HALALOOYA!! So please, if you know anyone who likes to read SasuHina fanfics, tell them about my one if it's not that bad. And if they like to review, I would be so very grateful.

Reviews are not needed to the extent of saying that it is a matter between life and death, but they are appreciated. Flames are also welcome but not necessarily liked.

Have patience for the next chapter .… take care
