(A/N: Here's Chapter 4! Enjoy!)

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any characters related to it…except myself.

Hinata's POV

I rolled over in bed and gazed at the clock on the nightstand. 12:00 A.M. Happy Birthday, Hinata, I thought. I had a good nine or ten hours before everyone was awake.

I threw back the covers and got out of bed. I tiptoed to the door, so as not to wake up Sakura, who was sleeping in the bed next to mine. I quietly stepped out into the hallway and closed the door behind me.

I could hear the boys in the room adjacent to ours. I could hear Naruto's voice almost as clear as day, of course. Kiba could be heard telling him to shut up as people were banging on the ceiling below them. Shino was in there, I could tell, but if he was speaking, I couldn't hear him at all.

"Hey," Naruto's voice came through the door, "how come you guys won't tell me what we're giving Hinata tomorrow?"

What? I thought.

"Shut up!" Kiba yelled at him, "You're going to wake her up! She's right next door and she's a light sleeper, so keep it down or I'll make you!"

I could imagine Naruto's face of disapproval right about now. I didn't like eavesdropping, especially outside of the boys' room, but I couldn't help it, I had told them not to get me anything. I pressed my ear to their door to listen.

"Pleeeeeaaassseeee tell me!" Naruto begged a little more quietly, but still loud enough for me to hear.

"No, you'll ruin it. You'll blurt it out before we can give it to her!" Kiba refused.

"No I won't!"

"Yes you will, Big Mouth." Kiba told him. Akumaru barked in agreement.

"What'd you call me?!"

"You heard m-"

Boom. I felt the floor shake slightly under me. Naruto must've pounced on Kiba. I could hear their scuffle.

"Hey!"

"Ouch, get off of me you little-"

"Why don't you make me!"

"Argh!!"

"That's enough." Shino's surprisingly calm voice announced. I could hear something scratching against the door. I looked down and saw ants crawling around my feet and under the door. I prayed that Shino wouldn't find out that I was out here. A few more minutes later…

"AAHHHHH!!!!!" The both of them screamed.

It sounded like Shino had done what I thought he had been about to do. He had made the ants go into their pants to make them stop. I couldn't help but giggle to myself.

"Shouldn't you be in bed, and not eavesdropping?"

I froze. I knew there was some reason why I hadn't heard a fourth voice in the room. I turned to see Sasuke.

He was wearing a dark blue t-shirt and some black flannel pajama pants, with a bag of ice in hand. I couldn't help but notice that he was standing so close to me it made me uncomfortable, only about a half a foot clearing. I also noticed that he was scrutinizing me, standing there in my purple flannel shirt and pants. "W-what?" I managed to stutter as i backed up, putting my back against the door.

"Good little girls shouldn't be wandering the halls and eavesdropping on people at twelve in the morning. Even if it is her birthday."

I was infuriated by this, but I had to keep it cool. "I'm not a little girl. And I could be bad if I wanted to. For instance, I'm not moving from this spot, so you'll have to get in through the window."

His cool expression faltered a little, and then he grinned, an idea seeming to form in his mind. He leaned in closer to me, starting to close the space between us. I felt claustrophobic. He made his eyes level with mine, as though challenging me face-to-face, literally. My face burned. I thought it was on fire.

"Now, what was that?" he asked. He was clearly enjoying this.

"I-I'm not m-moving if I-I don't want t-to…."

He then put his hands on the door on either side of me, so that I couldn't go anywhere. He leaned in even closer, making his face only inches from mine. I think I created a new shade of red, the way I was blushing. "And now?" he asked, his breath bouncing off of my face. I swallowed hard. My throat was dry.

I don't remember much after that. All I can remember is the wall sliding against my back and feeling the cool floor of the hallway meeting my face. Then I had felt weightless, light as a feather. I could faintly hear the boys inside the room asking things like "What was that?" because of the thump I had made. But the thing I remember the most, the most audible sound of everything as darkness took over, was a deep, but quiet chuckle.

And then the darkness quickly overtook me…

A/N: That's all for Chapter 4! Sorry if it's a little shorter than normal, but rest assure, Chapter 5 is coming soon! ^_^
