Chapter 9- First Kiss
"Uchiha get up and let go of Hinata-sama." Neji wrenched Sasuke's arms off Hinata's waist. Hinata rolled over and mumbled something. Sasuke sat up, sleepily. "What?" he asked rubbing his eyes. "Why are you in Hinata-sama's room? Yours is next door, aren't you happy being that close to her?" Neji hissed. "I like it in here. No, my room's not close at all…" Sasuke muttered piling blankets on top of Hinata and himself. He then rolled over and hugged Hinata.
Neji let out a sigh of frustration. 'Stupid Uchiha' Neji pulled one of Hinata's curtains open. Bright sunlight entered the room. Neji heard Sasuke say something, although it was a muffled. "Excuse me Uchiha?" Neji asked. Sasuke's head popped out from under numerous blankets. "Close the shades," he hollered. His head then disappeared once more under the blankets.
Neji chuckled. "Idiot…" Neji then smirked. He turned the light switches on and then opened every other curtain in Hinata's room. Sasuke popped up again. "Fine! I'll get up! Stupid Hyuuga," Sasuke muttered rolling off the bed and falling onto the floor. Neji then turned the lights off and closed the curtains, as to not bother Hinata's rest.

"What do you want?" Sasuke demanded in the kitchen. "I just wanted to tell you something," Neji said. Sasuke's eye twitched. "You wanted to tell me something? And you had to go and bother me when I was sleeping with my Hinata-chan! Why couldn't you tell me later? I was having a perfectly nice dream about Hinata when you suddenly-"Sasuke suddenly stopped. He blushed lightly. Neji raised an eyebrow.
"Uh-huh…so you were having wet dreams?" Neji asked. "Hell no!" Sasuke said indignantly. "About Hinata-sama?" Neji continued as though he hadn't heard Sasuke. Sasuke growled. "Make sure Hinata-sama isn't in anymore of your dreams" Neji muttered. Then he suddenly started laughing. "The Uchiha had a wet dream." He kept laughing. Sasuke glared daggers at him.
"What are you talking about Nii-san?" Hinata asked in her sweet voice, coming down the stairs. "Nothing, Hinata-sama," Neji instantly answered. When Hinata came into the kitchen (everyone else in the family is shopping, council meeting, etc. Saturday) she gave Neji a warm hug. Hinata turned around and saw Sasuke pouting. She smiled and hugged him too…except Sasuke held onto her a little too long, causing Neji to jerk her away. "He's contagious," Neji said. Hinata laughed. "No, I don't think he is," Hinata murmured, blushing. Sasuke, who had been glaring at Neji, smiled. Wrapping his arms around Hinata, he said," See? I'm perfectly normal Neji."
"Yeah right, so being a pervert is normal?" Neji asked/muttered loud enough for Hinata to hear. Hinata blushed, pulled away from Sasuke and hastily began making breakfast for the three of them. "I'll get you back Hyuuga," Sasuke growled. "Haha, I doubt it," Neji answered back.

Someone knocked at the Hyuuga's kitchen door while they were eating. Sasuke, who was sitting at the end of the table, closest to the door, went to open it. Neji sat across from Sasuke. Hinata sat next to Sasuke.
"What are you doing here Naruto?" Neji asked when Sasuke let Naruto into the kitchen. "Oh…um…I was hungry. Haha and Hinata cooks delicious meals right?" Naruto asked as an anime sweatdrop ran down the back of his head. Hinata smiled at the compliment and went to get him some breakfast. "Why can't Sakura cook for you?" Sasuke asked. "Don't talk about her to me," Naruto said stonily. Hinata, who just came back to the table, looked utmost surprised.
"Why?" Neji asked. Naruto sighed. 'They won't get off this subject until I tell them…nosy people. But then again I'm nosy too.' Naruto thought.
"One- she called Hinata a slut. Two- she thinks Sasuke belongs to her. Three-she was using me. Four-I now hate her." Naruto slurped up some noodles. Neji's eyes narrowed at the part about Hinata. Hinata looked sad and surprised. Sasuke was pissed off. "Tell Sakura to shut the hell up," Neji hissed. "I've always been telling her I hate her, why the hell can't she understand?! If she spreads any kind of lie like that about Hinata I will kill her," Sasuke viciously said. Naruto nodded airily.
"Yeah yeah," he muttered. "Can I have more Hinata-chan?" Naruto begged. Hinata nodded and went to the stove. "Stupid Haruno," Neji muttered. Sasuke poked at his food. "Are we going to train today?" Naruto asked. Sasuke shook his head. "No, we always say we're going to train and yet…we never do," Sasuke muttered. "I train," Neji corrected.
Sasuke rolled his eyes. Hinata came back with another steaming bowl of ramen. Naruto had stars in his eyes. He instantly gulped it up, spraying Sasuke with ramen water. Sasuke growled and wiped it off. Naruto laughed nervously. "Baka," Neji muttered. Hinata picked up the bowls and washed them. The guys just sat at the table. Not a word was spoken until Hinata came back.
"I'm bored," Naruto whined. (A/n honestly…I'm bored…and sleepy) "Aren't you always?" Sasuke muttered. "Hey Hinata, want to come and check out the Uchiha Mansion now that the sun is out?" Sasuke offered. Hinata hesitated then nodded. "Why do you want to check it out when the sun's out?" Naruto asked curiously. Neji also looked like he wanted to know. "Because something tried to grab Hinata when we were there at night," Sasuke answered, standing up. "Come on," He pushed his chair in. Not very unexpectedly, Naruto jumped up too. "I'm going!" he announced. Sasuke rolled his eyes but didn't complain. "Me too," Neji said," besides I'm not leaving Hinata-sama with you," he smirked.

"What do you think tried to grab Hinata?" Naruto asked, kicking rocks into the grass, as they walked to the Uchiha Manor/Mansion. "Yes, I'd like to know that too," they both stared at Sasuke and Hinata. Hinata focused on her fingers, which she was twiddling. Sasuke ignored the two staring at him. Naruto pouted. "Fine! Be that way, I'll just find out myself," Naruto said loudly. Hinata giggled at how confident he was. Neji sighed warily.
"We're here," Sasuke muttered when they arrived. He unlocked the gate. As they walked onto the grass, Hinata suddenly tugged on his shirt and then hid her face into his shirt. "What's wrong Hinata-sama?" Neji asked instantly. Naruto looked worried like Neji. Sasuke wrapped both his arms around her. "It's okay," Sasuke murmured. He had seen what she saw.
A figure had been staring at them from the topmost window. The window that should, if Sasuke was correct, have belonged to the Suicidal Room. He felt Hinata shiver. He pulled her into a tighter embrace and glanced at the window. "It's gone now," he whispered quietly into her dark hair. Naruto stared, wide-eyed, at the two. 'Who knew Sasuke had such gentleness in him? And why is she shaking so much?' Naruto thought.
Neji, however, had seen a shadow in the window. The only reason he saw it was because he saw Sasuke glance up there. Neji turned to Hinata. "What was that…thing?" he demanded. Sasuke sighed. "You saw it?" he asked. Neji shook his head, "No I saw a shadow," Neji answered. "Wait a minute!" Naruto butted in,"Why would there be a shadow in Sasuke's old house?" Naruto looked super confused. Sasuke shook his head. "How should I know? I've been gone for 4 and a half years Naruto," Sasuke muttered. "L-l-let's g-g-g-go h-h-home…p-p-p-please?" Hinata quietly whispered her request. She was still shaking. Neji nodded. He had a sick feeling it wasn't staring at them but was watching her.

When they reached home Hinata had gone to bed instantly; guarded by Neji. Naruto told Neji he was overreacting but Neji refused to move; besides, Sasuke went to sleep with Hinata so Neji decided he needed to watch over them. Just to make sure Sasuke didn't try anything…dirty. Naruto was asleep on Hinata's couch in her room. Neji sat on the edge of her bed and sighed, "This is just so confusing, why would anyone stalk Hinata-sama?" Neji muttered to himself.
After maybe 2-3 hours Hinata woke up. "Neji-kun," she greeted, happily. Apparently she had "forgotten" everything that happened earlier that day. Neji decided to play along. "Can you wake the Uchiha, Hinata-sama? I think we should go shopping, just for the fun of it. The Uchiha and I can pay for your stuff…and for Naruto's stuff too…I guess," Neji said pleasantly. Hinata looked surprised but smiled. She gently shook Sasuke awake. "Go away,' he muttered. "Sasuke-kun… please wake up," Hinata whispered. Sasuke sat up only because Hinata requested him to. He noticed her voice sounded lively and he instantly caught on like Neji. 'So she's ignoring everything earlier today' Sasuke rubbed his eyes. Neji went over to Naruto. "Hey, I'll buy you ramen," Neji said. 'This trick never gets old,' Neji thought dryly. Naruto suddenly popped up, scaring poor Hinata. Sasuke stared down at Hinata. She had grabbed his shirt by accident and was pressed rather too close to him.
Sasuke gently pulled her face up to his. She looked surprised, but not nearly surprised as she was when he kissed her. It was breathtaking and she felt a sudden spark. Neji stared open-mouthed at them with disbelief. Naruto looked dumbfounded. Before the embrace got any closer or intense, Sasuke pulled away and smirked. Hinata blushed crimson and twiddled her fingers. "I'm going to take a shower, okay?" Sasuke said lazily, as though nothing had happened. Hinata mutely nodded; her face was still red. Neji adamantly tried to convince himself that everything was a dream. Naruto sat there still stunned. Hinata locked herself in her closet "looking for clothes to wear" as she had said. There was a long silence.
"I can't believe he did that," Naruto and Neji finally said together, breaking the silence. They both promptly fainted.
