A/N: Slightly shorter chapter this time. Couldn't really think of anything else to put as you can tell with the forced moments in this chapter -sigh-. I'll try to add some more fluff, even if I had wanted this fic to be mostly humour. Oh and...some sasusaku hintings here.

Thanks for all the reviews! You guys rock!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Chapter Three: Ah! Ditched!

Recap:

"Well, that's a good idea, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said after their little moment. They finished their bowls and headed toward the training grounds where Hinata's team would usually be.

/recap

They had reached the training grounds only to find no one was there.

"Don't tell me ALL the jounins went out on this mission!" Sakura cried.

"Why not just go to her house?" Sasuke suggested in a cold tone.

"You're a genius, Sasuke-kun," Sakura said as she started turning around, heading towards the Hyuuga compound.

"I know," Sasuke smirked arrogantly and if you looked closely enough, you'd notice the slight hue of pink in his cheeks. Unfortunately, someone did notice.

"Are you blushing, teme?" Naruto asked, seeing as Sakura was in front of them and they were walking behind her, she couldn't see it.

"No," Sasuke denied.

"Ha! You did! Don't deny it, Sasuke-teme, you blushed! And I bet it had something to do with Sa-" Naruto taunted, soon receiving a bonk on the head before finishing his sentence, though from Sasuke this time. Sakura looked back with a confused look, making her look quite cute in Sasuke's opinion. I didn't even know I had that word in my vocabulary he thought, then shook his head clear of it and received strange looks from Naruto and Sakura for his sudden movement.

Revenge, Sasuke thought. He then sprouted off a question of his own.

"I bet your precious Hinata's off somewhere with 'dog-boy' as you like to call him," Sasuke smirked.

"What! How could she? What's he got that I don't have?" Naruto yelled, unaware they were drawing eyes to their conversation.

"A dog?" Sasuke said in a 'well-wasn't-that-obvious' tone.

"Stop it, you two! We'll see when we get there, wont we?" Sakura reasoned, trying to cool down the blond who was gonna start yelling at Sasuke again any second now.

"Anyways, what're you going to do when you get there?" Sakura asked, trying to change the topic.

"I don't know, I was hoping you would tell me..." Naruto put on a goofy smile. Sakura was beginning to get frustrated with Naruto's denseness in love and even Sasuke was a little put-out.

"Ask her out," Sasuke stated. It was more of an order than a suggestion, really.

"But..." The thought of doing so made his stomach uneasy.

"Since when did you have so much love experience, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked. Sasuke knew she was trying to mock him, so he simply said, "Since we've had someone even more hopeless in the subject than me." Sakura smirked at this, making her look a little devious.

Maybe if all goes well with the dobe, I might be doing something like this with a certain someone, Sasuke thought while looking at the pink haired girl in front of him gradually stop smirking and announce that they had reached the house, or something more of a city.

"Are you ready, Naruto?" Sakura turned to the blond who seemed to be a little uneasy with the situation.

"Okay! I'm ready! But, I feel like I have a million butterflies in my stomach," Naruto announced.

"Are you sure it isn't the indigestion?" Sasuke asked, smirking.

"Hm..well, wait! What! Yes, I'm sure!" Naruto puffed out his face like a balloon as Sakura giggled at the little comment.

"Great then! We're off!" With that, Sakura knocked on the door and jumped into nearby bushes - though to Naruto, it seemed as if they had deserted him - dragging a slightly surprised Sasuke with her, though he'd never admit it. From behind the bushes, Sakura mumbled a "He better not screw this up" to the poor boy's form. Sasuke...well, Sasuke, being Sasuke, just sat there looking cool.

Just then, the door to the Hyuuga home opened.

"Yes?" The voice asked the Naruto before fully revealing who it was...

TBC.

Slight cliffie...XD sorry 'bout that. I'll try to put more NaruHina in future chapters, since it seems a little one-sided right now.

'Kay well, you know the drill. R&R please
