Chapter 6

"On the tip of your tongue"

Out of POV

The sadness that was in her just a few minutes ago seemed to vanish after the raven haired boy whispered out those last few words…

"He'll be here after noon."

Her heart started to beat faster than average, skipping a beat here and there. She had forgotten through the recent conversation with the Uchiha of what she had planned for that day. Now, with just a few hours left till the so told time, the Hyuuga heiress smiled with happiness and also seemed to shudder from nervousness.

She sat down, her small back leaning on the training figure behind her. She closed her lavender eyes and hummed, willing to wait for as long as it takes just so that she may see him again. See the Uzumaki she had always admired and… loved.

He splashed the cold water onto his face almost harshly, cursing every other second that had passed. In spite of the survivor being a cold and bitter person, he still had a sense of humanity, knowing when he did things that went over the line. Certainly this was one of those moments. But as we all know, he was only feeling this way because he had let a flaw into his so called 'perfect' plan. Or was that the real reason for the avenger's rage?

As he roughly dried up his face with the dark blue towel, he looked at his reflection through the bathroom's mirror. He snorted at himself and got dressed; glancing at the clock in his large room knowing that he had said that that dobe would be there at 'noon'. Little did the Hyuuga know that it would only be his body she would be talking to and looking at. Behind those blonde locks and blue eyes would be the most unexpected person to be seen in his rival's body… Uchiha Sasuke.

Sasuke's POV

Sometimes I think I am just overly confident about myself that it just harms me at the end. Like now, I had thought that nothing would have gone wrong, that all that I would have had to do was to walk around the village with that dobe's body and see what was being held secret behind all those glares and harsh comments. How… wrong I was. I forgot just one tiny detail… The dobe had a secret admirer and she was an outdoor person. Just my luck to have run into her at the very beginning.

I curse myself beneath my breath once more as I near the training grounds, my hands quickly doing the seals for transformation, my feet still padding onto the rich soil slowly.

I just hoped that the reason behind that girl wanting to see Naruto was a… something that would steer all of us from trouble. Or at least not get us into it… especially me.

Hinata's POV

I feel my cheeks warm up almost instantly as I watch the blonde figure walk my way. He looked the same, that same happy grin plastered onto his face and his ocean eyes now slits from the intensity of his smile.

"K-konichiwa N-Naruto-kun…" I managed to whisper out kindly, my small hands grasping each other in front of my chest as usual.

He smiles even wider and scratches the back of his head playfully, sticking out his tongue happily towards my direction.

"Hey, Hinata-chan! How have you been?"

His loud voice brings a smile to my face as I blush even harder, trying to bring my face up to look at him directly,

"F-fine… th-thank y-you… and y-yourself?"

"Good… good…" He replies almost immediately, deleting the hyper ness of his tone which makes my head tilt slightly, what was with Naruto these days?

"Ano… G-gomen for t-taking your t-time o-on such a b-beautiful a-afternoon." I smile out, my whispers being able to be heard for the two of us.

He grins once more as he shakes his head, but between the shakes, I spotted a facial expression I could not comprehend, since it was one that did not belong to Naruto.

Annoyance? Coldness? Jealousy? Guilt? Regret?

I don't know really… What I do know is that it was kept from my eyes to see.

I take a deep breath, not wanting to take any more of my beloved's time; I decided that I had better said it now before it was too late.

"A-ano, Naruto-kun?" I start timidly, my fingers pushing each other in the same manner every time I was extremely nervous.

"Nani?" He asks friendlily, those sapphire eyes looking into my lavender ones.

Sasuke's POV

I was more than annoyed… she was always like this around that dobe. Why couldn't she just confess to that blonde and leave us all in peace? I mean, would it be that hard? But as payment, I kept up a good act, trying through my own actions to apologize for snapping at her for no apparent reason. But even that in itself was weird enough… why couldn't I just leave her alone? Why?

I wait patiently for her to gain courage to say whatever she wanted to say, that painful and cheek killing grin still on my face. How hilarious… me, smiling like an idiot.

"A-ano… well y-you see… f-from the f-first day in t-the academy, I h-have watched you and umm… y-you inspired me f-from your s-strength…" I groan inwardly as I tried not to jump into conclusions of what type of conversation this was. I could always run away if it was THAT anyways…

"E-even though p-people d-didn't l-like you, you m-managed to s-smile and e-endure what th-the world threw t-to you…" I sigh silently as I walk towards the Hyuuga, lifting my right hand to gently touch her trembling shoulder. I was hoping that I would not end up gagging in front of my sink.

"Hinata-chan? Try to say whatever you are trying to say without stuttering… it'll be easier, trust me." I could jump off a cliff.

It surprised me to see her nod, her cheeks flushed with red as her lips curled into another one of her soft smiles. She took a deep breath and clenched her hands tighter around each other,

"S-Sasuke-san was the heartthrob of the academy back then, and he is still the most popular teenager around Konoha, but I never looked at him the same way his fan girls do." My conscience rolled his eyes pathetically, already knowing the facts she had just said.

"I don't mean to be rude about your team mate, Naruto-kun… but I really didn't like him." I smirk at myself as I remember her calling me 'Sasuke-kun' once. I guess she was just adding that particular suffix for respect… I am and will always be 'san' to her… not that I mind though… nope.

But I just needed to ask one question before she continued,

"Why?" The body of my best friend and rival shifting from the past few minutes of standing.

"No reason really. Maybe it was because he had enough fangirls. I have to admit though, your team mate is very attractive, Naruto-kun…" I smirk at her comment, I have heard that from different other girls, and much stronger words for that matter, but it felt different when it came from her… I wonder why.

"But I think the main reason behind me not liking Sasuke-san was because I… ano… I liked someone else." She glanced at me behind her midnight bangs; her face getting even redder if that was even possible. I knew it. She wanted to talk to Naruto for this. I had to get out of there before she finished her words… I just had to. But something was stopping me, something was telling me to stay… I wanted to say something, to tell her… anything to stop her from completing her… confession.

"I… l-liked…" She took a deep breath and then almost suddenly looked up at me with her lavender eyes, full with determination and hope,

"I liked you Naruto-kun! I liked you!" I froze in my spot as I tried to push the emotions that wanted to enter my heart, whatever they were.

I sigh in defeat, cursing myself for being such a weakling.

"Honto? And now? Do you still like me?" I managed to ask even under all the pressure I was currently in. She shook her head happily and giggled softly, her dark blue hair swaying with the movements of her head.

"Iie… I don't like you anymore… I… l-l-love you."

DAMN! I curse myself with the rudest, most vulgar word available and this time, I truly felt sorry for the girl before me. She did nothing to deserve someone to play with her feelings like this, and I had done nothing to prevent it… Aaargh! I'm such a cold hearted bastard alright!

I smile happily with the body of my rival, the real me punching the living lights out of my mere existence. "So ka… Uh… Hinata-chan? Arigato for feeling like that towards me… I shall get back to you after I think about it, ne?" Liar… I'm a friggin liar… after this day; I never planned to change into that dobe's body ever again… NEVER.

But she smiles at me and nods enthusiastically, clearly showing that she just had a huge weight lifted from her shoulders. I felt so… wrong… why? It was just another girl… I've broken so many hearts of those fangirls, how is she any different? Maybe that's why… maybe it's because she ISN'T a fangirl… maybe I…

"Hai, Naruto-kun!" Her voice was louder than usual, she was happy… she had hope… and all of it was to be wasted…

I grin then puff myself out of her sight, not bothering to use my legs since I had a feeling that if I had done that, her eyes would be following me until I disappeared.

What am I going to do? I'm not Naruto for Kami's sake… I'm not even that Inuzuka… at least if it was him under this disguise, maybe she would forgive him since he was a friend and team mate.

But no, I'm Uchiha Sasuke… the heartthrob of this god damned village with the eyes of all the girls existing on me except for one…

The heiress of the prestigious clan, Hyuuga… Hyuuga Hinata.

And she had confessed to me… not to who she had thought she had… but to me… What the hell have I done?

(A/N): I am planning for this to end in a couple or so more chapters. I have gotten a lot of reviews about what type of ending you readers want and it was generally, happy. So I'll see what I can do. Thank you for your support.

I forgot to mention this earlier; actually, maybe it would be best if I just say this in my profile. Oh well, I'll do that later.

Anyways, this story is from me and me only. I do not like stealing ideas from anyone else because one, the original author would get upset knowing that someone out there is writing a fic with the same base as her/his. Two, I have a wild imagination; I do not need the imaginations of others to create a story. Three, I like to feel happy and content when done with a chapter or fic because the reviews in the end will be addressed to me, but if I had stolen the idea, I would not feel proud of myself to that extent where it should reach. Four, my reputation will cease to exist… (not that I have one mind you.. hehe)

And last but not least… it's just plain rude… someone out there worked hard for their fic and in the end I steal the idea? Ouch.

But, if I have ever written anything that is similar to a fic around there, know that I have not read ALL of the fanfictions on this site and I did not intend to… 'steal'. I also apologize to those who have written things similar to my plots. I promise you that I did not mean it. But in the end, it'll be up to you to decide whether I am lying or being honest.

Reviews are appreciated

Take care
