Hinata was about to fall asleep when she heard Sasuke say, "You can never ever fall in love with me."

She quickly pulled away from him, "What?"

"You have to promise me that you will never fall in love with me."

"But….why?"

"You just have to Hinata. Or else I can't be in a relationship with you."

Hinata didn't know what to say she sat up and tried to get as far away from Sasuke which was pretty much in possible on her small bed. She sat up with her back pressed up against the wall she couldn't even look at Sasuke. She had her knees against her chest and was wrapped up like a ball trying to take in what Sasuke just said. Sasuke didn't know what to do he reached out to her but she shook his hand off her. "Hinata?"

She mumbled, "I hate you."

"What did you say?"

Hinata looked Sasuke straight on this time, "I said I hate you."

"Oh…listen you don't understand."

"No you don't understand." Hinata was full of anger a feeling that she rarely had but which was now taking over her. "I can't believe you; first you leave me after you kiss me. And then you come here in the middle of the night and tell me that I can have you but now I can't fall in love with you. That's not a promise I can make Sasuke I…"

Sasuke interrupted her, "You have too there just isn't any other way."

"So it's either promise the impossible or not have you at all."

"It's not impossible…"

"Maybe for you."

"Hinata….please."

Hinata was silent for a couple of minutes before whispering, "Ok I promise not to fall in love with you."

Sasuke let out a sigh of relief, "Thank you." He stretched his arms out to Hinata, "Come here."

Hinata looked at him skeptically before crawling back into his arms. "I still hate you for making me do this."

Sasuke kissed her forehead "I know."



"And you still won't tell me why I can't."

"No."

Hinata gave up for the moment and wrapped her arms around Sasuke getting comfortable again. "You will tell me one day Sasuke."

"Hn." Sasuke hoped she just fall asleep and forget about this. He had his reason but he never wanted to tell her the truth. The next morning Hinata woke up to her alarm clock going off, she reached for it turning it off. She rubbed her eyes as Sasuke tightened his hold around her, "Morning."

Hinata smiled, "You stayed."

"I promised you didn't I?"

"I'm glad you kept your promise." Hinata looked up to stare at Sasuke she couldn't believe that he was here. That he was hers and no one else's she leaned up to give him a peck on the lips. She pulled away but Sasuke placed his hand on the back of her neck pulling her into a long kiss. Hinata was in heaven Sasuke's lips moving so gently but passionately with hers. Sasuke smirked as he pulled away from Hinata who was breathing heavily. "You--You are really……good at that."

Sasuke chuckled, "You're not so bad yourself."

"T-Thanks, did you sleep well?"

"Pretty good I was up for awhile watching you sleep; do you know that you talk in your sleep?"

"I do?"Sasuke nodded, "What did I say?"

"You said my name a lot, I liked that."

Hinata sighed, "Of course you would."

Sasuke kissed her lips "I should get going."

"No!"

Sasuke was a little surprised by Hinata's reaction "I have to you because you have to go to school."

"No, I don't want to go to school, can't I just spend the day with you?"

"You mean play hooky?"

Hinata quickly sat up, "Yes!"

"Maybe I am a bad influence on you; I don't think this is such a good idea Hinata."



"No please I want to spend the day with you. And today's the perfect day Neji isn't going to school he has some stupid things for my father, please, please, please Sasuke." Hinata gave Sasuke the saddest look she could.

Sasuke shook his head and sat up, "Puppy dog eyes don't work on me."

Hinata wrapped her arms around Sasuke, "Don't you want to spend the day with me?"

"You know I do."

"Then why can't we?" Hinata tried her puppy dog eyes again.

Sasuke sighed, "Fine you win."

"REALLY?!"

"Yes, I mean we will have to go to my house so now one will see us." Hinata just nodded. "Ok I'll meet you two blocks away."

Sasuke started putting on his boots and grabbing his jacket, "How did you get in here anyway?"

"Climbed the gate then jumped from there to the tree from the tree to the ledge. And I'll reverse" Sasuke looked pretty proud of himself.

Hinata looked outside her window, "Sasuke that's dangerous."

Sasuke leaned down to kiss her again, "You're worth it." He winked at her as he exited the window and jumped from the ledge to the tree and soon was on the other side of gates. Hinata let out a big sigh of relief as soon as Sasuke landed safely. Hinata looked around frantically she need to get dressed and out of the house before any of the house maids saw her.

She starred at her closet wondering what she should wear; she never had this trouble before. She used to just pick something that matched but now she wondered what Sasuke would like. She ended up with a pair of blue jeans and a black v-neck sweater she was given almost two years ago. She found all the way in the back of her closet, she ran a hair brush through her making herself look presentable before heading out. She snuck out the back so no one would see her, her heart was beating faster with the fear of being caught. When she saw Sasuke leaning against his bike she felt like her heart was going to come out of her chest.

Sasuke frowned, "Where's the school uniform?"

"Why would I were that?"

"Because you look hot in it." Hinata looked down trying to hide her blush; Sasuke smirked and reached out to her pulling her body against his. He whispered is her ear, "You look hot today too, I like the sweater."



Hinata shivered as she felt Sasuke lips on her ear, "S-Sasuke someone might see us."

Sasuke smirked, "Fine we will finish this later, get on." Sasuke helped Hinata get on the back of his bike and put his helmet on Hinata. He got on the front as Hinata tightly wrapped her arms tightly around his torso. "Don't worry Hinata I won't let anything happen to you."

Sasuke took off towards his apartment, his apartment was clear across town in a neighborhood Hinata had never been to before. Sasuke parked his bike outside his building and helped Hinata off the bike, "Listen my place is nothing like yours."

"Sasuke I don't care I'm sure it's just fine."

Sasuke grabbed Hinata's hand, "I warned you." Sasuke lead Hinata into the building and up the twelve flights of stairs to his apartment. "Ready?"

Hinata nodded her head, "Just open the door please." Sasuke put the key into the lock and let Hinata into the apartment. Hinata let go of his hand and walked in quickly looking around she was standing in the living room/ bedroom. There was a big queen sized unmade bed next to Hinata with a couple of books on the bed side table also a dresser with draws open and clothes falling out of them. On the other side of the room was a couch, television, and two bookcases. There was a door near the television that Hinata figured was the bathroom and to her right was a small kitchen with a dining room table for two.

Sasuke locked the door and wrapped his arm around Hinata's waist, "It's not much but…."

Hinata interrupted him and leaned against his chest, "I love it I feel so comfortable here, it could stand a good cleaning though."

"Hey it's not that bad, but I'm glad you like it. Kakashi always yells at me for not having a better place but I'm saving my money."

"For what?"

"My own repair shop."

Hinata spun around in Sasuke's arms, "Really? That's a great idea Sasuke I know you can do it."

"Well it's just a dream besides I like working for Kakashi…..some days. Make yourself comfortable I'm going to jump into the shower." Sasuke gave Hinata a quick kiss before heading into the shower. Hinata sighed she still felt like she was dreaming, she was in her boyfriend's apartment instead of school. She never wanted to leave this place; she started looking through at Sasuke's books when her stomach rumbled. She decided to make herself and Sasuke some breakfast; she cooked fast and set the table for her and Sasuke.

Sasuke was still in the shower when she had finished, "Wow what is he doing in there?" Something caught Hinata's eye she walked over to Sasuke's dresser and picked up a slightly cracked photo frame. Inside the frame was a picture of what Hinata figured was Sasuke's family that passed away when he 

was younger. Hinata was lost in her thoughts when two arms wrapped around her waist again, she smiled, "Sasuke."

Sasuke rested his chin on her shoulder, "Who else were you expecting? What are you doing?"

"Looking at this picture…"

"You seem….upset."

"I am I don't like the fact that you don't have anyone."

Sasuke pulled the picture out her hand and placed it back on the dresser. He picked up another frame with a picture of teenage Sasuke and Kakashi "No I have Kakashi." He placed it back and picked up another frame with a much older looking Sasuke and a blonde boy. "And even though I hate to admit it I have Naruto too."

"Who's Naruto?"

"I guess he is my best friend I meet him when I was thirteen, Kakashi took me to Konoha where he grew up. I hated Naruto when I first meet him he is so annoying but soon I grew to stand him being around me."

"I always wanted to visit Konoha."

"Yeah its great Kakashi wants to move back, maybe I'll move there too who knows?"

Hinata didn't like the idea of Sasuke being somewhere other than with her, she quickly tried to change the subject. "I made breakfast are you hungry?"

Sasuke sniffed the air, "Smells good let's go." The two sat down and held hand and eat in a comfortable silence. Sasuke kissed her hand when he finished eating, "That was delicious."

Sasuke leaned in to kiss Hinata when there was a load knock on the door. Sasuke groaned, "Better get that." Hinata watched Sasuke walk towards the door as she starred clearing the table. The knocking started again, "Calm down I'm coming."

Kakashi voice was heard from the other side of the door, "OPEN THIS DOOR SASUKE!"

Sasuke opened the door, "Kakashi what a nice surprise."

"Safe it Sasuke, did you think I wouldn't find out you came back."

"I called you and left a message that I was coming back."

"I would have found out anyway! I was saving this until I saw you face to face."

Sasuke closed the door, "What are you saving?"



"TO TELL YOU WHAT AN IRRESPONSIBLE ASS YOU ARE!"

Sasuke crossed his arms, "Why because you finally realized how much I do around that shop?"

"FORGET ABOUT HOW YOU LEFT ME TOTALLY UNPREPAIRED FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG YOU'RE LUCKY I HAD HINATA TO HELP ME! SPEAKING OF HINATA YOU KNOW HOW HARD FOR ME TO SEE HER, SHE WAS HEARTBROKEN SHE WAS MOPPING AROUND THE SHOP JUST WAITING FOR YOU TO RETURN!" Kakashi heard a gasp from behind him and quickly turned around, "Hinata?! What are you doing here?"

"Huh….I…I…"

Sasuke walked over and put his arm around her, "Calm down Hinata." Hinata wrapped her arms and hid her face in his chest.

Kakashi was very surprised, "What is going on here?"

Sasuke wrapped his other arm around Hinata, "We are together."

Kakashi started pacing, "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! Did you forget who she is Sasuke? She is a Hyuga! If her father finds out that's the end of you."

"She's worth it."

"And I'm guessing I have to keep this a secret."

Hinata spoke up, "P-Please Kakashi, if any of finds out he will not only hurt Sasuke but me."

"Besides Kakashi Hinata turns eighteen in a couple of months all we have to do is hide till then."

"And after that what happens it won't matter to her father?"

"We'll figure that out when that time comes."

Kakashi sighed, "I guess there is nothing I can say to change your mind." Sasuke and Hinata both nodded. "Fine but remembered I warned you, the consequences….I don't even want to think of what they could be."

Sasuke sighed, "You're being over dramatic!"

"I hope I am, by the way I expect to see you two at work tomorrow."

The both responded as Kakashi was leaving, "Yes Kakashi."

When Kakashi left Sasuke tuned Hinata to face him, "So I have you to myself for the whole day." A smirk came across his face, "What will I do with you?"
