Happenings
Recap:
'She's adorable, ne? And very cute…not to mention hot,' Sasuke thought as he watched Hinata's sleeping form. Her chest rose and fell with every breath she took. She unconsciously slung an arm on top of his chest. Her fingers slightly brushed his collarbone. He shivered at the feathery touch. 'I think I ought to sleep,' he thought. Not so long after that thought he fell asleep beside the one he loved.
Chapter 5- Public
"Uchiha wake up," Neji ordered as he opened Sasuke's bedroom door. Sasuke wasn't there. 'He's probably awake already,' Neji thought. He crossed the room to Sasuke's bed and felt the covers. They were cold. 'So he probably didn't even come back,' Neji closed Sasuke's bedroom door. He then proceeded to Hinata's room.
"Hinata-sama, are you going to train with me this mor-" Neji stared, wide-eyed, at the scene in front of him as he forced opened her door.
Hinata still had her left arm slung over Sasuke's chest and her head was resting on his upper left arm. Sasuke had his left hand resting on Hinata's waist. His other arm was lying on his forehead. But that wasn't what bothered Neji. It was the fact that Sasuke was wearing boxers. And Hinata's nightgown had ridden a bit higher than it should be.
"H-hinata-sama? Wh-wha?" Neji sputtered. Sasuke twitched. Hinata huddled closer to Sasuke. "mm…" Sasuke opened his eyes and rubbed them. Turning to Hinata he smiled. He hadn't noticed Neji in the doorway. "Uchiha," Neji hissed, " Why are you in bed with Hinata-sama? Depending on your answer, I might or might not kill you." Sasuke gave Neji a lazy glare. 'So her name is Hinata…Hina'
Hinata awoke and rubbed her eyes like Sasuke did. But unlike Sasuke she looked at the door first. "Neji nii-san! Wh-what are y-you doing h-here?" she stuttered. Neji ignored her. "Uchiha, I can't make you stay away from Hinata-sama, but be warned, I will keep an eye on you," he growled dangerously. Sasuke laid his head on Hinata's fluffy pillow and looked at the ceiling. "Whatever," he muttered. Neji slammed the door as he left. He glanced at Hinata. She had a worried look pasted on her face.

"Hinata, are you dressed yet?" Sasuke asked, annoyed. It's been at least 30 minutes since she'd entered her bathroom. "Not yet," was Hinata's muffled reply. Sasuke inwardly groaned. He sat on her bed and glanced around her room. He was fully dressed in a pair of black shorts, black collar shirt bearing the Uchiha clan symbol, and some black arm warmers.
Hinata was in her bathroom wondering what she could wear. Her closet had two doors, one connected to her bedroom and the other to her bathroom. She threw clothes down here and there and pushed some clothes to one side and examined others. Hoping she wasn't bothering Sasuke, she grabbed a tank top, a jacket, and some pants. To be more specific she grabbed a black tank top, a white jacket outlined with black, a black capri, and black ninja shoes.
Hinata walked out of her bathroom and Sasuke smirked. "See, I told you I bought you clothes you should wear," he teased. Hinata blushed. They showed her curves a bit too much. "So, where do you want to go?" he asked. 'We're spending a day together?' Hinata thought for a second. "Uh…to the park?" she suggested. Sasuke nodded. "Or we can train if you'd like," she didn't want to bring him to a place he didn't like. "The park's okay," he assured her. Hinata kind of had a feeling that Sasuke knew what she was thinking. "O-okay," she smiled.

They were attracting far more attention than Hinata would have liked. People would turn their heads and mutter something to their friend or frown. And then there was the fact that Sasuke had his arm wrapped around Hinata's waist. He nudged her. "Do you want ice cream?" he asked quietly. She nodded happily.
Hinata ordered one vanilla ice cream and one strawberry ice cream and Sasuke paid for it. "H-how come you're n-not eating your i-ice cream?" Hinata stared at his ice cream. He shrugged and stared at his vanilla ice cream too. "I don't like it," he answered. "Oh! S-sorry, I didn't know you didn't like it," she murmured. "I like ice cream, just not vanilla." He corrected. She nodded although she didn't understand. "Th-then what flavor do you like?" she asked. "Strawberry or vanilla mixed with chocolate chunks," he added thoughtfully.

They had been walking for some time and Sasuke had thrown away his ice cream long ago, even though it hadn't melted. Hinata didn't want him to starve. After all they had both skipped breakfast. They sat for a rest stop. Hinata stared at her now dripping ice cream. Strawberry. Then something finally clicked in her head. "U-uchiha-kun?" he stared at her. "Hn?" "Do you want some of my ice cream?" Hinata asked. Sasuke gave her a confused look. He then realized what she asked him. "Oh...no thanks," he shook his head; there was a small blush on his face. But Hinata held her ice cream in front of him.
"You'll go hungry," she murmured looking anywhere but at his face. He smirked suddenly. "Really? Then would you mind if I ate all of it? You are, after all, offering it to me right?" he had a devilish grin pasted on his face. "Ah," before she could answer he took it and was licking it. "Hey! D-don't eat it all," Hinata tried to get it back only to have Sasuke grab one of her arms and continue eating. She pouted as he ate the rest of it.
"Do you want more?" he offered, licking his lips. "Um…I don't know. Do you?" Hinata replied. "Not really," He led her away from the park to Konoha's mall and shops. "Do you want to go shopping?" he asked. "Uh...okay…" she followed him into a store.

Sakura was walking around the park alone. 'I wonder how Sasuke-kun is, is he still betrothed to Hinata? Ugh, whenever I think of her I get angry. I can't help but hate her. She STOLE my Sasuke-kun!' was currently going through her head. She decided to sit on a bench. Sakura watched all the other couples. Suddenly something caught her eye. It was Hinata holding an ice cream out in front of Sasuke. She was about to run up to Hinata and slap her for trying to feed Sasuke until she saw him smirk and start talking. Sakura sat there, astonished. He spoke to Hinata…but that's impossible! She was supposed to be the one to make him talk. Anger and sadness washed over her. Mostly anger. How dare Hinata even look at her Sasuke.
Sakura followed them to a shop. "Hina do you want this?" Sakura heard Sasuke ask Hinata. Sakura was surprised. He sounded normal. And what was with the name Hina? 'She probably told him to call her that' Sakura thought disgusted. "Huh? Oh…it's so cute! Eh! You don't have to buy it for me Uchiha-kun!" Hinata protested. Sakura tried to see what Sasuke was holding but Hinata's arm was in the way. "It's okay, besides I want to buy it for you," he pointed out. Sakura was pretty sure that Hinata was blushing. (She was.)
Sasuke and Hinata browsed the shops a bit longer. Sakura followed Hinata and Sasuke out of the shop when they finally left. "Where do you want to go to now?" he asked. "I don't know…do you want to train?" Hinata suggested timidly. "I guess, it's not like there's anything else to do," he then lead the way to the training ground. 'Why does she want Sasuke-kun to train? He's strong enough already. Humph. She probably thinks he's weak.' Sakura trailed behind them carefully, making sure she wasn't caught.

"Hn," Sasuke 'greeted'. Naruto and everyone else gaped at Sasuke, Neji glowered at him. Hinata shifted uncomfortably as everyone's stares locked onto her. "Sasu-…Hina-…what? Did he j-just speak!" Naruto asked, dumbfounded. Sasuke rolled his eyes. Hinata looked at her hands and occasionally the ground as though interested in them. Hinata glanced at Sasuke's face. He looked a bit happy. Sasuke noticed her staring at him and gave her a small kind smile. Hinata returned to looking at her hands.
"Baka Naruto, Sasuke already knows how to speak. It's not like he's mute," Ino sighed. "Ohayo Mina! (good morning everybody)" Sakura yelled, waving her hand in the air. She ran towards them. "Hi Sakura-chan!" Naruto greeted enthusiastically. "So what have you guys been doing?" she asked. Everyone knew her question was directed at Sasuke. He glared at her instead of answering. "Ah…nevermind," Sakura said with pretend cheeriness.
Hinata looked worried. "Uchiha-kun?" Hinata tugged at his shirt. He looked down at her. "What Hinata?" he asked loud enough for everyone to hear but he was obviously only talking to Hinata. Everyone gasped softly. Sakura didn't, she growled with jealousy. No one heard her. "Sasuke? Did you actually say something? Not something mean of course. Say it again!" Naruto yelled happily. Kakashi shook his head and pulled out his Icha Icha Paradise book. 'Well, as long as he's okay…' Kakashi flipped through the book to the page he was on.
"Baka," Sasuke muttered, ignoring Naruto. Hinata smiled and forgot to let go of Sasuke's shirt. "Hinata-sama, you're clinging to his shirt," Neji pointed out. "Huh?" Hinata looked down. Like always, Neji was right. "Ah! Uhh…g-gomen," Hinata apologized, blushing. "I don't mind," Sasuke said, tilting his head and smirking. Hinata bit her bottom lip and slowly nodded.
Everyone else watched the scene unfold. Her blushing, him smirking…was this reality or a fantasy? Or were they both in love?
"Ahem!" Sakura cleared her throat loudly. Hinata jumped. "Ah…s-sorry," she whispered. Sasuke stared at Sakura as though waiting to hear what hell was so important that she had to interrupt them. Everyone turned to her. "Uh…um…nevermind," Sakura squeaked. Sasuke made a low growling noise in the back of his throat. Hinata cast him a concerned look.
"How about we all go out to eat?" Kurenai and Asuma suggested. "Sure!" Tenten grabbed Neji's arm before he could pull Hinata away from Sasuke. "Come on Neji!" she whispered innocently. But ever-the-observer, Neji noticed the annoyance behind those words. "Fine," he muttered in defeat. Sakura lunged for Sasuke's arm but he walked off to Hinata, who was following aimlessly behind her Neji nii-san. "Hey, where do you think you're going?" he muttered quietly from behind Hinata. Hinata almost screamed but she suddenly realized who the voice belonged to. "I w-was go-going to eat," she answered in her sweet quiet voice. "And leave me alone?" he asked. "Huh? N-no…" Hinata glanced at everyone else. "Come on," he muttered pulling her hand and dragging her to the others. Hinata blushed when she realized they were holding hands.
Sakura fumed. 'How could she steal him from me?!' Sakura stomped after everyone angrily. "Oi! Sakura-chan, wanna be my date?" Naruto asked, slowing down to keep up with her slow pace. "No," she answered flat out. "Oh…"Naruto sounded depressed. 'Wait! What if I go out on a pretend date with Naruto? Then Sasuke-kun is sure to get jealous!' Inner Sakura thought. "Naruto?" Naruto turned around. "Yeah?" "Actually, I think I might take you up on that offer," she smiled sweetly. "Really! Yay! I get to date Sakura-chan!" he yelled. Everyone else rolled their eyes or either smacked him on his head.
'I might break Naruto's heart but it's not like that matters. I'll get Sasuke's heart for sure!' Sakura thought evilly. Sasuke was staring at her. His Sharingan blazed. This went unnoticed.
