Sasuke gently parted his eyelids, yawning largely as the birds gave off their usual chirp. He heard the gentle patter of water, sighing as he stood up and approached the shower, hoping he hadn't left it on overnight again. He opened the door without thinking and what he saw was... beauty.
Hinata looked at him, a deep haze of red covering her cheeks as she thanked the towel for covering her parts. "Sa...Sasuke.. " She couldn't look at him, her embarrassment was clearly visible.
The Uchiha swiftly ran out of the bathroom with red cheeks, desperate not to let her see him break his cool. "Uh.. I got some stuff to do this morning... so.. my house is your house for now.. I guess." He walked out the front door and proceeded down the street.
"Sasuke Sasuke!" Yelled Sakura as she came running. "Thank you so much for last night!" She leaned up and kissed him on the cheek, his face turning to anger as he clenched his fist, "And thanks.. for being.. my first kiss.." She blushed. He clenched his fist harder, "WHERE... is Naruto.." He spoke harshly. "Hmm? Oh.. I think he went with Kakashi, he had a really goofy smile on his face though, it was kinda funny." She giggled in remembrance.

Naruto jumped around playfully, smiling to himself, that goofy smile planted on his face as he hummed. Kakashi turned to him, "Naruto... what's got you so bouncy?" He said, averting his eyes from the book. "Oh nothin' sensei, just had a good nigh-" "You replicated Sasuke and went to Sakura's didn't you Naruto?" He spoke, almost seeing straight through the boy. Naruto had fallen flat on his face, a cold sweat protruding from his skin, "N..N... Is it really that obvious?!" He yelled, angry that he was easier to read than a three letter word.

Hinata couldn't help but smile the whole time she got dressed, the Uchiha filling her mind and how cute he was beneath the anger. She walked from his house, breathing in the new day's air before she felt it.. anger. "HEY! What are you doing breaking in to... out of Sasuke's house!" Yelled Sakura as she stormed at Hinata. Hinata's eyes grew wide as the girl looked like she meant trouble, "Oh.. oh no... I just.. I just... stayed on his... c-couch last night.. be-because... it was late.." He twiddled her fingers nervously.
"He let you stay in his house by yourself?" She spoke, a stupid look on her face. "N-no.. he went to his room after he k..kissed.. me.." She tried to hide her cheeks. Sakura's face went red with rage, "You.. you liar! Sasuke was with me last night! He kissed me almost all night long!" She spoke. Hinata didn't know what to make of this, but hearing the story made her hurt inside, "Wh...what? N..No..". "Oh yes Hinata! I didn't know you liked him though! I thought you had a stupid thing for Naruto."
"Hinata have you seen Nar-..." Sasuke stopped, his feet planted firmly on a house a few metres away.
"Sasuke!" They both spoke on synchronization. He looked at them both, sighing heavily and placing his hand's deep into his pockets before leaping in front of them. "Listen.. here's the story.. Naruto that fool.. cloned me and thats who kissed you yesterday... Sakura."
Suddenly Naruto came running, "Hey! Sakura-chan!". Sakura clenched her fist, scared of what she might do if she saw him. "Sakura! I was wonder-" WHEDUHM was the only sound that could be heard, echoing through each one of the Genin's ears. Sasuke looked down, Naruto bleeding profusely from the lip, tears forming in his eyes.
Hinata gasped and leaned down beside him, "Na-Naruto!" She spoke, wrapping her arms around him while lifting him into a sitting position. Sasuke felt an unfamiliar feeling, it was like, anger, sadness and hate all in one. "Leave him, he will be fine." He spoke. Sakura realized what she had done and kneeled beside him, "Naruto.. i'm sorry.." Hinata looked at her, angry that she could do that to one of of her friends, she let it loose and tackled her, straddling her and slapping her repeatedly. "Don't ever hit one of my friends!" She spoke unbroken, Sakura in a daze as her cheeks shined a deep pink.
Sasuke pulled Hinata from Sakura and wrapped his arms around her, hoping it would calm her. "Don't interfere." He whispered in her ear before releasing her body. He walked over to Naruto and helped him up, "You okay loser?" "Im fine." He spoke aggravated. 'Why am I so weak... even a girl can beat me up... I hate them.. I hate everybody..'. Naruto turned from them and ran off, Hinata in pursuit. Sakura stood up in a daze, looking at Sasuke, she spoke softly. "So... you wanna- " She was cut off as Sasuke closed his eyes, placed his hands in his pockets and began walking off. "Sasuke! You're an asshole you know that?!" She yelled. He stopped, her face turned to fear as he turned to her, "..I know." He spoke, turning back around and walking off to who knows where.

Naruto stopped, saddened that he had been embarrassed yet again infront of everybody. He proceeded to his small house, opening the door and walking inside. He fell face first onto his bed and sobbed quietly to himself. "I..h-hope you dont mind.. but i let m-myself in.." He spoke, standing in his bedroom doorway, twiddling her fingers slowly.
He wiped his tears into the pillow and looked up at her, "Hmm? Oh.. no I dont mind.. how are you Hinata?" He spoke, trying to maintain his composure as best as possible. "Naruto.. just once... don't pretend to be strong.." She spoke, off-topic. He felt his anger slide into his hands, forming them into fists, "But I AM strong Hinata! Why can't you see that?! Why can't anyone see that?!" He yelled, enraged. She blushed, almost scared to speak, "Naruto... will you be my friend... just once?" She spoke sadly. "Hinata, we have always been friends!" His anger turning into a smile, never once before had he noticed how pretty it was to see her opal eyes flicker against the light from the sun.
"Na-Naruto... dont look at me like that.." She spoke, embarrassed as she twisted her foot and looked away from him. He smiled at her, sad yet happy at the same time to see her. "Hinata... what are you doing later?" He asked. Her eyes widened, what a pain this was. As soon as she let go of Naruto... he shows interest in her. "Oh.. Nothing... wh-why do you ask?" She whimpered. "Well... do you wanna do something?" He asked, slightly nervous at her reply. She thought for a few seconds before opening her mouth to speak. "I...-"
