hmfan: Ahaha! Good to be back, surely.

Sai: Poof.

hmfan: Yay! I get to talk to Sai again. Hiya.

Sai: Why the good mood? Didn't you go through an emotional period?

hmfan: Yeah...but I'm older now, so it's different. I'd like to make an announcement. The last chapter doesn't count, but I hate deleting mah shit. In fact, I'd like to scratch the whole Jounin Exams ordeal. I forgot where I was going with that.

Sai: Maybe it's for the best...

hmfan: I'm apologize for making Hinata a bit airheaded like Tohru Honda of Fruits Basket. To keep to my word, I'll have to continue that character for her. Not as great, I hope. Now I have a thing for SaiHina. Deviantart inspired me.

Sai: Yay? Am I good cop or bad cop?

hmfan: You'll see. Anyway, I lost my beta's email, so I'm going to shoot for this without anything done to it. So remember, disregard the last chapter, and continue from the chapter before then.

Right Here

Sasuke cracked his neck, and looked up to the sky. "Kakashi, leave, now." This wasn't the first time he'd taunted him like this. Anytime Sasuke slipped up and acted like a normal human being, there would surely be someone to make note of it. He put his hands in his pockets, "Hinata's tagging along with errands."

"But," he playfully looked hurt, "you never invited me shopping." The older Kakashi gets the younger he seems. No longer does he hold up the cool demeanor Sasuke's trying to keep right now. He's just as playful as ever.

This outing was officially a bad idea.

Hinata waved, "Hi, Kakashi-sensei, are you shopping as well?"

He forgot about her. This taunting would only hurt poor Hinata, "Uh," he looked to the side, nervously, "yeah. I'm just playing with Sasuke-chan. It's not every day he's out and about like this." With that he left and couldn't bring himself to face her again.

"Odd, don't you think, Sasuke?" she looked up to him, who couldn't look at her for some reason.

--

Sai sat atop a roof in the middle of the village's shopping center. He'd been watch the Uchiha's actions. The way he reacted to Hinata's presence. Was it only obvious to himself that Sasuke was acting a little over protective for Hinata. Maybe it was because he'd been watching Hinata for to long. Sai was the one to know. "I didn't want to be that type of guy."

"I'll teach you how to use senbons, Uchiha-san." she said, smiling to Sasuke.

Sasuke was taken off guard by her smile. "You have to tell me when you smile like that!" Sai imagined him saying, but didn't hear exactly what he said.

He smirked, "What type of front is this? She must know what that Uchiha is up to by now." The innocence of a sole person amused him so. Why is it their relationship leaves him unsatisfied? He anticipates her leaving after a short "Hello". Unlike Sasuke, infratuation never began with, "She's hot, cute, and loving, I want her." It was more like, "My body says yes." After that, feelings wrote themselves.

No longer did he feel the need to watch them, but couldn't help to watch her, "Her eyes." His painting was of the couple. Well, his current one was. Within the tablet were imaginary pornographic sketches depicting what is under various women's clothing. With his ability, who wouldn't?

After a while, he noticed the couple deciding to take a break at the ramen bar. "Time to stop by." He made a handsign to teleport over to the bar. "Hi, Hinata-hime in all your beauty." He mocked Lee's flattery towards Sakura with Hinata often.

"..." said Sasuke, glaring over to Sai.

"..." said Sai raising an eyebrow back to Sasuke.

"..." said Sasuke glaring harder as though he were trying to pierce through Sai's presence.

"..." said Sai raising his head a bit.

"..." said Hinata, sick of this staring contest.

"Hinata would you like to pose for me, in the river?" Sai asked, rather politely. He smirked over to Sasuke and continued, "All you need is a bathing suit since you'll be in the water."

She blushed, like she always did with Sai, "I don't really like swim suits."

His face was so plain, "That's fine, you can come naked. Your body is perfect for the picture."

How could he be serious? Hinata was flustered, "Thank you Sai, but you should probably ask Ino."

"..." said Sasuke, basically declaring Sai's death ahead of time.

"..." said Sai, defending his right to ask her.

Sai covered this up with an invitation, "It's a group thing. I already asked Ino and Sakura. They both agreed to pose at a party for Sasuke." He lied for a good cause. Neither of the suspected anything by the looks of it. "By the river, of course." Hinata still looked skeptical. Sai, fortunately (?), knew this to his advantage. He held her hand in his and brought it to his mouth, softly kissing it, "I couldn't let a vision like you get away from me." He whispered so she could hear, and of course Sasuke.

"I'm done eating, Hinata."

"Sure." she answered to Sai.

He embraced her, "It means a lot to me."

The heat rushing to her face caused her to faint. "Sai's so weird," she thought.

Sai began to shake her, "Hinata? Did I squeeze to hard?" he looked over to Sasuke who seemed to have a murderous glint in his eyes. His regret was genuine. There was little he was truly regretful for as well.

"Great, you just ruined our date." Sasuke said, communicating without words.

"Date?" Sai said back without words.

"I said day."

"No. Are you dating Hinata?"

"Absolutely not."

"You want her?"

"No."

"How bad?" Sai couldn't believe he'd silently lie to himself.

"I don't want her."

"Your boner?"

"You look at my dick?" Not that Sasuke was particularly curious about Sai's notation.

"Your nose was bleeding profusely."

"I don't want to retort to that."

"I want her."

"What?" Sasuke wouldn't believe this, so he said it out loud.

"I want her." Sai said clearly with words.

"In what ways?"

"In her ways."

"She's going to revive my clan."

"Is that all you have to think about? You need to read up on some erotia. It's more productive than you think."

"There's no one other than her for me."

"Take this." he ripped out a few pages of his tablet and handed them over to Sasuke, "Let your mind reel." He teleported back to his original spot with that, leaving Hinata in Sasuke's arms.

Sasuke closed his eyes, thinking, "But I think I love her."

hmfan: This story, I plan, will be very long.

Sai: As long as my -...

hmfan: Shhh, mostly girls read SasuHina. That'd be profane.

Sai: I thought you said SaiHina!

hmfan: In a triangle for like two chapters more, but I plan to write on this story forever. This is relativly short, but I just submitted a longass update to my beta. Today's my birthday. I'm tired.

Sai: Fifteen?

hmfan: Yeah, a year younger than Naruto kids.
