It had been a long weekend. She went to her aunt Mei's and passed the physical in to condition.

They also did a through search of her room, finding nothing, Hinata was glad Neji had taken the jacket from her, sometimes he was helpful but mostly she didn't understand him.

Her father didn't let her leave all weekend still, so she had to miss training. For which she felt bad about.

But today was different it was finally Monday and she got to go to school and see Sasuke the thought caused her too blush.

She decided to avoid the bus and walk today; it wasn't that far anyway she assured herself.

She was dressed in the usual school uniform, a mini skirt and a button up top. And for the guys pants and a tie that few wore. But all the students made use of Wednesday and Friday's casual days.

Over her skirt and top she wore the jacket from sasuke, Neji had given it to her that morning when he left for early training with Tenten, those too always spent time alone training….

The jacket was long in the sleeves so it was pushed up a little the folds surrounded her hand anyway so it didn't make much of a difference. It was long in the bottom as well reaching about two inches above the end of her skirt, which made it appear shorter.

"Oi, Hinata" she turned around to see Kiba.

"H-hi" she fumbled out.

"What happened to you Friday?" he leaned forward so he could see her face that she was practically covering by looking away.

"Nothing, I didn't feel well and left," she was starting to sweat, " I couldn't find you or shino to say I was leaving, but I felt very sick, when I got home I threw up." She looked away as much as was possible. "s-sorry"

"o-ok it's fine, bugboy and I where a little worried but ill tell him you are fine now….but you didn't show up to practice all week either …."

"Sick still…." She was glad by then they had reached the schoolyard and she bolted for safety in the woman's bathroom.

"Hinata…" she turned to see Ayama and Tenten fixing their hair. Tenten was pinning her signature buns to the top her head, Hinata never understood why she even did that her hair was so lovely down, in chocolate waves of curl, but apparently Tenten found it bothersome.

"Hi Ayama." She smiled and face Ten now " Tenten-san"

"Did you enjoy the dance Friday?" Ayama said with a questioning smile.

"Not really." She shook her head. " Most people were too drunk."

"ehn…" Ayama smiled at her own reflection, "that's part of life …have you ever drank anything before?"

Ayama was a cute girl, she like Tenten had wavy chocolate hair, though Ayama's was originally black and colored like brown but it didn't really matter. She had these pool blue eyes that would catch yours something that was hard to look away from.

Her figure was a curved one, and she wore clothes that made it look good, she was short so the mini skirt added leg appearance to her making her seem taller but she preferred jeans….

She had loved bugs that's probably why here and shino got along so well few people weren't freaked out by it that included the males too….

"Hinata did you here me?" Hinata snapped back …

"What?"

"Have you ever drank anything before?"

"Umm yes."

" There you go its part of life everyone drinks just some don't know when to stop or what drink is best for them …"

Just then the bell rang….

"Bye Hinata," Tenten said grabbing her books up.

"Bye." Ayama smiled grabbing hers too, " I love the jacket!" she yelled back before Hinata lost site of them.

Ayama was in Neji's grade for most of her classes so she was older than shino, and best friends with Tenten. If Hinata could say anyone girls as her best friends it would have been those two.

She went to her first few classes with little bothering from people who wondered what happened to her Friday night. At any rate she was bored and couldn't wait till lunch, though she wouldn't be able to talk with him cause of his rabid fans she could still see sasuke.

She sighed what chance would she even have of talking with him in these concrete walls.

She opened her locker in it was a flower. A small pink rose. She blushed.

"Sasuke…" she whispered.

"You like?" she turned to see Naruto.

"Naruto?" she blushed hard. "you got this for me?"

"no, but I have a message for you from someone." He leaned in, " meet sasuke-kun on the roof for lunch…" with that Naruto was gone.

Hinata watched herself in her locker mirror, what did he like about her anyway? She wasn't even that pretty, true she was cute but not like sakura and Ino and certainly not as outspoken and lively as Tenten and Ayama, did she even have anything worth chasing after for him?…

She slipped the flower into her hair, it looked nice, her eyes sparkled looking back at the reflection maybe she had something after all.

She closed her looker and headed off to third hour, it went quickly though she didn't even really listen she would have to get notes from someone else … day dreaming wasn't a good thing in her hardest class science, but still she didn't really regret it.

She found the stars to the roof, and snuck up them hoping not to be caught by a sensei and given detention.

When she reached the top she looked around the school had never seemed so big before.

She found sasuke leaned against a cooling agent of some kind that gave a nice shade.

"so you liked the flower?"

She blushed then nodded.

"The jacket too…?"

"Yes." She sat down next to him.

He handed her a box. "What's this for?"

"Open it."

Inside was hot rice, dumplings and some caramel cookies, it all smelled so good.

"For me?"

"No for me…" he rolled his eyes. " yes for you."

"Thanks." She smiled, it taste better than it smelled.

Sasuke pulled himself out a canine, and a box of stir fry rice and some pork.

They ate together in silence each taking peaks at the other when they weren't watching.

When he was finished he looked over to see she had one cookie left. She happened to glance up too….

They both gave small smiles and Hinata blushed. "Here" she held out the last cookie for him.

He didn't take it a little embarrassed she pulled her arm back in, she placed the cookie to her lips.

Sasuke reached over and took the other end of the cookie, which surprised her causing her to blush intensely.

They ate it together coming to kiss at the end.

When they parted lips she pulled her hand to her mouth to cover the blush.

He moved some hair that was hanging in front of her eyes. "Hinata why aren't you taken?"

She question confused her slightly. "A… taken?"

"Why are you single?"

"My father." She looked away ashamed to mention him.

"Do you want to stay single?"

"No." she said hastily then covered her mouth again surprised at the quickness of her own response.

He gave a low chuckle, "ok, May I walk you home tonight after school?"

She blushed, "yes was the soft reply."

"Till later then."

She smiled; they picked up the mess from lunch and went down the stairs back into the confined world of school.

Before she could leave the stairwell they shared another passionate kiss, that left her knees shaking.

The bell rang, and she headed off for Advanced Weaponry class, this was her favorite class of the day cause Ayama, Tenten, and Shino were in it.

Shino and Hinata were in this upper level class because of their advanced knowledge on the subject and it helped to have friends like Tenten who knew practically everything to begin with.

She decided though that she couldn't tell them just yet about her meeting with sasuke besides who would believe that the shyest and quietest, most unnoticeable girl ever was liked by Sasuke?
