He moved away from her for breathing space as she lay panting on the ground. He kissed her forehead brushing her bangs away.

"You are so beautiful." She blushed adjusting her skirt.

"Here." He handed her a rag from his pocket. He helped dry her off and she helped dry his hand. She was so sweet and innocent he loved that about her.

They sat cuddled in silence for a few minutes, the air around them sweaty with smells they would come to know well.

He wanted to do so much more and keep her feeling that high. He wanted to feel it too … but having her comfortable with it was the first step.

"So you liked it?"

She blushed then attacked his lips.

"That's a yes." He smiled and gave a chuckled laugh, " you know they will be missing us right?"

She nodded, and then leaned once again to his shoulder. He wrapped an arm around her, he never wanted to let go.

"I wish we never had to leave."

"Me too." He sighed.

xXx

When he reached his group no one asked where he had been, no one even said much of anything they hadn't noticed he was gone and where still busy working.

" Sasuke-kun." Sakura had come to talk with him.

He didn't even turn to look at her. "hn."

"I um wanted to know if you would go with me to the couples banquet?" she paused for an answer when she got none she continued to talk. "its in two weeks and they are handing out awards and everything I a … just wanted to have you there with me and …"

He couldn't take her rambling anymore … He at one point in his childhood liked her the soft pink hair and minty eyes, but she was annoying, short tempered, and loud … it was like a female Naruto. He was on a team with them both; he knew Naruto liked her, so he grew out of it so his friend could have her.

Naruto had been the only friend he ever had when he was growing up a rival but still a friend. He didn't want to take away one of the only things Naruto ever wanted for himself, so he grew out of liking sakura.

"Sorry, but I like someone else."

" Sorry to have bothered you, I didn't know."

He could practically feel the tears she was going to cry later that night.

" No one knows." He turned to face her, " I like her very much and I don't want anyone else to know yet."

Sakura nodded a smile on her face; she was trying.

"It's a secret no one else is to know, just you."

'Just you' sakura smiled at the words. "Ok sasuke-kun." She smiled again before walking away.

Sasuke continued to work then he was tapped on his shoulder turning around he saw rock lee and Keita.

"Ino needs you guys to go check on Kiba's progress with the benches so we know if we can eat yet. "

He nodded and Keita and him began to walk towards the tables.

"So sasuke-kun –" he cut her off.

"Don't talk to me."

She looked at him surprised. "Sasuke-kun I …"

" I know what you did to Hinata, next time, you won't only have to deal with Kiba."

Keita had a small laugh at the expense of his words. "what are you talking about?"

" When you beat the hell out of her for ME talking to her." he grabbed her buy her collar lifting her, " don't ever touch her again!" he threw her at a tree she hit it hard and slid down.

"I … I "

" Understand." It was more an order than a question.

" He fooled you to Hun." She gave a weak smile and a laugh . " How do you think we found out? You gave us too much credit."

"So Kiba told you that I was seeing Hinata?"

"He told us everything jealousy does crazy things to people. He wanted it taken care of so he came to me and my girls."

"And?"

" And what we tried to take care of it, by getting her to stop being with you. She was stubborn as hell though." (flash)

"Im the founder of the sasuke fan club and ill be damned if some, lame ass shy-bitch is gonna take him away from me!" she yelled.

Hinata sniffed, trying to hold back the tears and be strong.

" Take this as a warning."

She struggled pulling herself to her feet.

"No."

"What did you say?" Keita yelled.

" Im shy not scared!" Hinata said keeping her voice calm and collected as possible. "h-he doesn't want you s-sa-so –"

Hinata's words were stopped dead by another slashing cut this time across her chest, it stung so bad, soft tears fell from her eyes as she continued to stay standing. (end flash)

" Stubborn, though seems out of place there considering how quiet she is, I don't know what you see in her … "(flash)

Hinata by that time had hurried away to her locker. When she got there someone was standing in front of it.

She stopped when she was close enough to see his face.

"Why were you spying on us?" he asked, watching her his eyes a piercing black.

"I wasn't spying just passing by to my locker." She looked away from him.

Sasuke was leaned against her locker and she couldn't get into it to get her book, and if she didn't hurry back she would be in trouble.

"Lair." He practically spit the words into her soul.

"No, I'm not." she shrieked out, fairly loud.

"Yes you are." He watched her; she tried to reach around him for her locker.

"No im not," she had calmed her voice but refused to look into his eyes again.

"Yes you are."

"At least im not afraid to get close to someone!" she spit back then pushed him out of her way, a blush to her cheeks. (End flash)

It wasn't that she was the strongest person ever, or the smartest, and definitely not the bravest. But she had a heart and put herself into everything she loved, she tried so hard and even stood up for her sake and others when it was needed, she was honest and playful, fun sweet, everything he was missing in his own life, she had an shared with him. (flash)

"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 …

… 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. (end flash)

She made him a better person.

" I see everything good in a person, that no one else has."

"right … and you saw good in Kiba too didn't you?"(flash) "is she ok?" both boys were kneeled over her body, she was cradled in Kiba's arms.

"Im sorry." Kiba kissed her forehead, and handed her to sasuke. "Watch over her because I can't anymore …"

A warm tear fell from his eye landing on the floor. Kiba was showing emotion Sasuke had never known any man could have for a female till he meet Hinata.

Kiba loved her too.

"Take care of her, she can't know I was here, promise me you won't tell her."

"Kiba-"

"Promise me." He yelled.

There was a long paused silence as the to watched each other, Hinata began to make noises of pain she was now in a cold sweat, and holding tight to sasuke's shirt …

Sasuke looked down at the girl in his arms, he loved her too, why would Kiba give her up he knew in his heart he wouldn't have been able to do that, he needed her.

"Promise me she won't be told."

"Promise." (End flash)

"You believed him didn't you?" she laughed softly. " You believed he gave her up that day in the hall, didn't you?"

"You don't know what I believe."

" Don't you understand that day he didn't lay-down his love he proved it?"

"No he didn't, he gave her up."

"You didn't prove you loved her though, you didn't even tell her the truth did you?"

"Shut-up!" he growled.

"Testy- " she shook her finger at him. " do you think they would even just forget about each other? They were friends before you came into the picture they will be friends when you leave that's what friends do … "

"Who said im leaving the picture maybe ill just stay here forever."? He more or less said this to himself but still she listened.

" Do you even know how they feel about each other? Or even what she thinks about you? " She paused. (Flash)

"Sasuke." She blushed. "I-I just wanted to thank you for today." She looked away. "Thank you."

He put a hand on her chin and gently moved her face to see him.

"Your eyes are so beautiful, the lavender in them reflects the moon's light. So simple and elegant."

She lifted herself to her toes and kissed him he pulled her in closer, hand about her waist.

The passion in it was intense, there hot breath mixed with the cold air around them looking like a fog of smoke.

He ran his hand lower down her leg; she gave a soft moaned reply biting her lip trying to keep quiet.

Her noises were driving the man inside him crazy; she was so innocent and delicate. He loved it.

"Want to go inside?" he asked moving into her body with his own.

"Yes."(End flash)

"She loves me."

"But does she love Kiba too?"

" That's not even a factor in this."

"It is and you know it as much as I do, he stopped me that day because he loved her so much he didn't want anything to happen to her, he couldn't careless about you or your feelings for her, to him you just came into the picture and stole the woman he loves."

" Did he tell you this?"

" Maybe. You're the most popular guy in school, you could have anyone, anyone." She said the word again looking him in the eyes into his soul. " But you took away the only girl this one 'common' boy ever had, aren't you being selfish?"

"No, because I love her."

"If you love her you will stop this and let her go, and be happy with Kiba."

Those words were so familiar and rang in his ears to the back of his mind. (Flash)

"At any rate don't play this game with her life you hear me?"

Sasuke was quiet again.

" She may really like you, and you are just hurting her in the long run, and you may or may not regret it when she gets thrown out of her compound because of your stupidity …" Kakashi raised his voice.

Sasuke glared back. " Even if you are my sensei you can't tell me what to do in my own house." He motioned for the door and for Kakashi to leave.

"Just think about what I said, if you care about her at all you'll take her home." With that Kakashi got up and left. (End flash)

"But I love her."

"And? Think of all the people who are in love with you, for all but one it's a lost cause, think of what they are going through to be noticed by you, when you never notice them, everything they work for taken away but some girl who you don't even know if she loves you! Think of all the girls you are hurting by doing this!"

Keita was in tears now, crying for her own sake.

I can't do anything to help those girls, I didn't tell them to fall in love with me … he never wanted them to love him, just Hinata, just Hinata ever since that first day only her … (flash)

"At least im not afraid to get close to someone!" she spit back then pushed him out of her way, a blush to her cheeks, she felt somewhat bad for saying it but then again she needed to say something…

She grabbed her book and slammed the locker door shut, turning around he was there looking down on her he was taller than her after all most people were.

"Have you ever even been close to someone." He step forward, one hand leaned against the lockers the other at his side. She was still avoiding any eye contact.

She shuttered and didn't answer.

"Have you ever been so close you can feel their breath on you know they feel yours too?" his other hand grabbed her wrist forcing her to drop the book on the ground, he thrust her hand to the locker. And leaned down to her closely.

"Do you even know what it's like?" he whispered, she shivered, his breath was warm " have it all then have it ripped away from you?"

His voice was now a little deeper sounding and he pushed into her hand harder which made her cringe it was starting to hurt.

"Hinata." She looked up unwillingly with her own bodies command her cheeks covered in a crimson blush. He gave a small smile in the corner of his mouth. " You have lavender eyes."(End flash)

He loved her with all his heart she stirred a fire in his soul, he never wanted to be without her always. (flash)

" How do you know who I am?" she questioned.

"Your mask doesn't hide your beauty well." She blushed harder removing the mask.

"I guess I don't need this, but who are you?"

"You won't like me if you knew…" he sighed. " I just wanted to say I had a great night and thank you for the kiss, I was the most sincere thing anyone has ever done for me. Thanks."

"Don't go." She held his hand now. Scooted a little closer to him. " Tell me who you are."

"Hinata please don't…" he pushed her away as she reached for the mask.

"Your not my boss…" she gave a playful grin and removed it. "Sasuke?" she said under her breath.

He didn't say anything.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Ehn?"

"Do you think I would have cared if you were honest with me?"

"Do you care now?"

She thought for a few seconds. " I care … that-" he cut her off.

" Ehn. You win some you lose some."

She smacked him hard across the face. " Don't be a jerk!"

He looked back at her his eyes still a piercing black as the night that surrounded them, but they drew her in nonetheless.

"I guess I deserve that." He shrugged.

"Im sorry." She set her hand on his face where she had hit it a red handprint was well visible. "i…."

"Hinata…" he kissed her on the lips again.(end flash)

Through everything they did, every secret meeting, every smile, every kiss he grew to love her more and more, she was everything he had always wanted and needed, after his family died he decided he would never love again because it would be taken away, but she embedded herself into his soul. He never was going to be without her again.

He could still hear Keita sobbing quietly, she loved him, she even possibly loved him the way he loved Hinata.

"Im sorry, but I –."

"Don't say it again." She held a hand towards him, he knelt down to where she was sprawled on the ground. " I just wanted a taste of a life with you, something I can never have. I realize all I wanted was to be Hinata." She gave a soft smile.

He watched her, he tried to understand what she was going through he tried to understand her pain. He couldn't feel it, but it must be like losing Hinata, something he couldn't have lived with.

"Im not the one for you, and I hope when you find him you will love him even more than you loved me, and he will feel the same."

"is that even possible, I practically worshiped you what is greater than that?"

"if you worship someone your not really loving them."

She was silent for a long time, then she leaned in her lips close to his. " How would you know? I loved you with everything I had, with everything I knew, how do you even know you love her with everything you say you do when you have never been with anyone else you never gave anyone a chance!"

"I know I love her and ill prove it too you." He closed his eyes and kissed her. She pulled away touching her lips.

" Ill never forget you." she smiled, " Hinata is really lucky to have you."

"That is if she will have me once I tell her I kissed you … "

"You don't have to tell her I will, it may seem different coming from me, but I know that you didn't kiss me with anything more than a strangers compassion for my situation." She sighed. " You know how they say you can feel when someone you love loves someone one else in the way they kiss you, I felt it."

"Im glad you understood, I figured you were smart enough to get what I was doing."

She gave a smile standing up. "We should get going I have a lot to fix."

"Alright"

They headed out towards the tables once again, this time their was no talking both were lost in thought.

Hinata is gonna kill me. He sighed mentally at his own tactic. Still he would make it up to her, and he would never stray again … he would always be there to make her happy like he had done earlier that day … (flash)

He softly kissed her jaw line.

"Sasuke." Her hands roamed from down his shoulders to his shirt line at which she paused.

"Go on." His kissed down, to her collarbone sucking gently on the skin. He stroked the throbbing vein below his mouth with his tongue, he felt her breathe in deep and gasp a little, o - how she temper him.

"mmm" came the next reply, he also moaned softly under his breath, softly so she couldn't hear him.

" go on," She was stroking his chest, her delicate fingers tracing his muscular abs. He wanted them to roam and caress his whole body up and down.

She paused tracing the elastic pant line. He moved away to look her in the eyes. She was pleading him gently to have her.

"lay down?" he asked softly.

She paused then nodded.

He gently set her on the ground and proceeded to kiss her on the mouth now, fingers working at her top two buttons then her returned to kissing her neck.

She moved with each swipe of his tongue across her warm skin. Each motion she gave was a soft pulse forward into him her body pulled her to feel his against her own.

His hands slowly began to roam her body, down her curves, onto pear shaped hips onto her upper thighs.

She soon began to squirm a little.

"Am I moving to fast?" he gasped out the words lifting his mouth from kissing her neck.

"No its just I-" her breathing was a little scattered. He was panting over where he had just sucked on her neck and the wet flesh became electrified with the hot air. She moaned softly.

Why does just one noise make me feel like ripping her clothes apart and touch just her skin, her creamy colored skin, he ran a hand down then curve of her hip. I want her so much, I want her to want me this way too, I want her to feel what I feel, I want to get her to that point of pleasured extisee she gives me.

"One more thing."

He moved a little closer to her while she was sitting there, he rubbed her thigh tenderly.

"Please. I want to do it just for you."

She thought about everything he could mean but nothing stuck in her mind.

"What- what is it?"

"Yes or no."

"Sasuke I just want to know what it is-"

"Do you trust me?"

She didn't hesitate. " I trust you " with each word she was saying he wanted to kiss her more.

He positioned her to lean back just on her elbows so she could watch him if it made her more comfortable.

He pulled her skirt out of the way and up a little.

She held her eyes closed tightly. She felt his hand creep closer toward her spot. The other was under her shirt just below her belly button. A pressure point he had learned

He moved her panties from blocking her entrance by moving them to the side. At this feeling she cringed. He asked if she wanted to continue. She nodded.

He stroked the entrance with a finger avoiding the urge to just force it in.

She blushed when he looked up. She has the sweetest smile so innocent.

She was starting to become wet. To help it along he licked his finger, and traced it one more time before allowing it to slide in. She gasped softly.

Hinata closed her eyes; it felt so good. He pulled it out slowly then in again.

Her breathing quickened as he continued, his finger made a rotated motion rubbing itself against her g-spot.

Before she realized she let out a moan, it was soft and long awaited.

This made him want to go even harder and faster than before but shortly after he stopped.

He watched in awe as she opened her eyes again they had been closed most of the time. She blinked before she smiled at him followed by her signature blush.

"Sasuke I-"

"Did you like it?"

"Yes," she paused with a tender smile then moved forward kissing his lips softly. " I would like more sometime."

He pushed he back to the ground the whole time nibbling her lips.

"If more is what you wish …" I will give you the world, for just a smile

"Sasuke" she said his name into his lips.

His hands returned to the spots they were before as his lips raged in a battle to contain hers.

This time the opening was still wet from the first round and took little coaxing to enter.

With two fingers he quickly again found her g-spot repeatedly going at her weakness.

His lost the battle with her lips but quickly began to devour the throbbing vain on her neckline. She breathed into his ear, every soft coo and moaned answer to his motions was heard as she came closer to breaking point.

His body moving in motion with his hand forward and back as was hers. Her hips rose off the ground slightly.

"Sasuke." His name came ringing in his own ears. He pressed down on her lower abdomen with the opposite hand.

"mmmhnnn Sasuke I I- "A loud moaned cry came next as she thrust into his fingers her moans continuing as she thrust into his hand more, a warm liquid covered much of his hand now.

He moved away from her for breathing space as she lay panting on the ground. He kissed her forehead brushing her bangs away. you are so precious … and I will never let you go … (end flash)

Sasuke and Keita reached the opening where the bench area and forest met. When he stepped out into the clearing he saw Hinata his Hinata sitting atop the bench.

Kiba was standing in front of her, he glanced up at sasuke, then with a half-smirked smile he began to ravish her mouth.

Sasuke tried but he couldn't find the voice to call out and stop it, he couldn't move, had she really weakened him that much?

He heard a low growl from Kiba, though Hinata was quiet as ever.

Hw watched as The dog of a man rubbed he knee then with a creeping hand continued up her thigh, he couldn't watch anymore, he ran , he ran with all he had back into the forest, when he reached it he held on to the closest tree sobbing into it.

"Hinata … Hinata! " he screamed he name into it but she never came.

xXx

All the while he had left Keita there. After Hinata had run off Keita went to confront him.

"Your becoming like a cruel bitter old man to her."

" What would you know?"

"I am a girl too you know, and if it was me, I would never speak with you again…"

"You saw then why do you speak with me?"

" I don't know," she sighed touching a hand to his lower arm. " and im quitting this."

" This?"

"This game to get the girl." She looked away.

" Its not like you aren't getting anything out of this, Sasuke, is yours when this is over."

"No he isn't." she had a tear in her eye as she said the words.

"What did you do?"

"Nothing wrong, he loves her, for real"

"How can you tell?"

"The way he kissed me but didn't kiss me." She let out a soft sigh, " a girl can tell when a kiss isn't for her."

"And?"

"It wasn't for me …"

"Keita." He said her name softly

"Kiba just let it alone." She pulled away from him. He pulled her back kissing her lips genteelly, her eyes closed slowly as she drank it in, tongue running slowly over hers, the warmth and wetness caused her to breath in deep, with a thin gasp for more air in her lungs.

"Kiba."

"Lets just finish what we started, please don't quit on me now." Keita nodded walking off into the forest toward where Hinata had run, she was going to tell Hinata she kissed sasuke just as she promised but tell it how Kiba wanted.

She hoped somewhere deep in her heart that when this was all over he would still feel for her, but she knew it wasn't meant to be.
