Hinata had sat at the Ramen Bar all day, knowing it was one of Naruto's favorite places, she had decided to appear here more often, unshy of being seen by Naruto. Her eyes widened when she heard it, "Sakura-chan! You know I could beat Sasuke! He knows it! Hes just much too afraid to admit it! Isn't that right?" He spoke with a smile, shoving Sasuke playfully.\par \par Sasuke saw this as a challenge and pushed him back, twice as hard, sending him to the ground. Hinata giggled a little bit, Naruto had looked so funny as he stood up, rubbing his head, "HEY! I didn't push you that hard!" He spoke loudly.\par \par "N..Naruto.. are you.. a..alright?" She asked, blushing gently as she approached him. "Eh? Oh of course, im fine Hinata, you think the next Hokage would get injured from that? Ha ha ha!" He spoke gleefully, his smile huge. "Naruto... one day im going to.. GRRR!! You just make me so mad! Stop picking on Sasuke all the time!" Yelled Sakura.\line\line "Sasuke! Sasuke! Sasuke! Thats all I ever hear from you Sakura!" He pointed out, a snobbish look on his face. Hinata's eyes ran across the three, studying the Uchiha more than the others, he seemed troubled. "S..Sasuk..ke? Are you... alright?" She asked gently. He glanced at her, breaking no emotion before turning his head back to the ground and continuing off, "I will be at home if anyone needs me.. except for you Naruto, you annoy me." He spoke coldly.\par \par Before Naruto could come back with a stupid comment, his stomach rumbled, "Maaann.. im starved!" He quickly ran into the Ramen bar and took a seat. Hinata watched him, he didnt look at her once as she passed him. "N-naruto... can I... e-eat with you?" She asked, her voice low.\par \par \pard\tx7740 Naruto looked at her, ramen dribbling down his chin, "Hmm? Oh sure Hinata!" He replied, quickly turning back to his food before he forgot about it. She sighed gently, the 'Hinata' type of gently. She turned to her left, "Sakura.. how did your.. mission go?" She spoke, brokenly. "Huh? Oh it was good, but Sasuke saved everyone again! These two ninja were coming at me and the bridgebuilder, everything seems to go slow, what do I see next? Sasuke going BAM BAM BAM!" She yelled as she hit the bar, imitating the action.\par \par /Sasuke\\\par \par Sasuke slid his key just below the door knob, turning it a hard left before that familiar 'click' was heard. He walked inside, setting his ninja equipment down on the dining room table, too lazy to put his equipment away. He set himself down on the couch and removed his shirt and headband while, examining some of his wounds, most of them nothing but scratches. He examined another, noticing it had been reopened by the stretching of his skin when Naruto pushed him. "Idiot.." He thought gently.\par \par He stood up slowly and glanced out his window, noticing the sun slowly losing life behind the horizon. A figure he had seen earlier today was easily seen sitting in the tree, he sighed and decided he should go socialise, I mean.. what else is there to do when you live by yourself with only the feel of hate and anger running through your veins.\par \par The girl sat with her knee's up against her chest, her arms wrapped around and her head bowed. "...Why are you up here?" Asked Sasuke, almost seeming to appear from nowhere. "Oh... I was just.. th-thinking.." Hinata replied, her head lifting, her eyes full of sorrow. He sat down further along the branch and laid back, closing his eyes and wrapping his legs around the tree for support. "Naruto." He spoke harshly.\par \par Her eyes widened a little, "H..how did you know?" She asked, loud enough for him to hear while maintaining her usual quietness. "Naruto is the only one stupid enough not to notice the way you look at him. He's too busy chasing Sakura to notice you." He just wanted to say how it was, not hurt her. His words stung in her heart, he was right though, Naruto would never care about her like she wanted him to.\par \par "Hinata. Go home." He said with force, slipping from his branch, landing on his feet in his usual pose, both his hands in his pockets. Hinata climbed down after him, "W..well... can I... walk with.. you..until you get h-home Sasuke?" She spoke, a gentle blush forming. Sasuke sighed, "Sure." He took a few steps towards the nearest house and spoke, "Well.. this is the pl-" He swiftly grabbed Hinata, pulling her against him and jumping to the side swiftly. A kunai wizzing past them and stabbing into his door. \par \par "Sasuke! Fight me!" Spoke the blonde-haired boy as he ran at him. Sasuke's eyes filled with anger, he let go of Hinata and clenched his fist. "Naruto..." He spoke under his breath, running at the idiotic boy, Hinata still trying to gather what had happened. Sasuke and Naruto met in a fist fight, driplets of water coming down as Sasuke dodged each punch Naruto threw at him with a fair bit of effort, "Naruto, you could have harmed Hinata." He spoke in rage, Naruto's fist's slowly becoming slower and finally stopping. "Well sooorrryy!! Didn't mean to scare your giiirlfriend." He spoke, poking his tongue out, Sasuke slammed him in the stomach while he was off guard, sending him flying back, tumbing and leaving a long trail in the dirt.\par \par "G-..girlfriend?" Hinata spoke quietly, twiddling her fingers. Naruto got up and ran at Sasuke once more, swinging madly, both feet and fists, Sasuke unable to get on the offensive. Naruto finally landed a swift punch to his face, Sasuke losing vision for less than a second but just enough for Naruto to get in a few more before finishing him with an uppercut.\par \par Sasuke flew back towards his house, breaking through the door and sliding across the floor. Hinata's eyes grew wide and she gave small wince as she ran in after him, followed by Naruto.\par Sasuke wearily got to his hands and knee's still exausted from the fight with Haku, now this?\line Hinata carefully kneeled down beside him and placed a hand on his back, "S-Sasuke..?" She asked gently. His eyes collided with hers, he didnt speak, merely stood up again, several of his wounds now reopened. "Sasuke! I didn't mean to hurt you! I just thought you'd be stronger than that!" He smiled, showing off while feeling like he was finally the best. \par \par Sasuke lunged up, grabbed Naruto by the collar with his left hand, placing his legs on his shoulders and throwing him off balance. Naruto hit the ground with twice the body weight, Sasuke raised his right fist high above his head in anger as he kept his feet planted harshly. Hinata watched as Naruto's eyes grew wide, she quickly grabbed his wrist and held it back from pummeling Naruto. "Sas...Sasuke.. no more.." She spoke gently, not wanting either of them to get hurt. \par \par He breathed heavy, threatening the hit once more before finally stepping off. Naruto stood up and looked at Hinata, smiling softly before glancing at Sasuke once more, leaving his house. "Hinata..." Sasuke spoke, she looked at him, his eyes were closed again. "Don't interfere." He spoke coldly, showing her to the door.\par
