Chapter 5- "Boyfriend"

Sasuke's cellphone rang and rang. He hadn't answered it in weeks, Hinata was worried about him. He just began acting different as the next year approached, she wondered if this had anything to do with Itachi of why Itachi changed so suddenly.

'Is he...Are we...?' Hinata thought, 'I don't want to think we are...'

Hinata shook her head, she must be jumping to conclusions. She didn't want to say they were over but she couldn't help but feel that they were. They were spending less and less time together and they were going out on dates less. This worried Hinata.

Neji walked into the room and growled, "Why are you still waiting for him to call?!?! You left about ten messages and he hasn't called you back, it's over Hinata..."

Hinata yelled at him, "Neji, stop it! STOP IT! We aren't over, Sasuke's just busy!"

Neji rolled his eyes, "Sure, lie to yourself. You're only making it worse, Hinata."

Before Hinata could yell another insult, Sasuke bashed open the door. He pushed Neji aside as he approached Hinata as he took her to the sun room on the second floor of the house. This was serious, Hinata could feel it in her body, this was going to be a serious talk and not just some serious talk.

Hinata tore her hand gently away from Sasuke, "...Sasuke, where have you been? I've called you a lot and you didn't answer..."

Sasuke smiled a little, "I'm sorry, Ina. I've been going on missions non-stop..."

Hinata let out a sigh of relief, "Oh, I thought it was for something else..."

Sasuke put his arm around her, "I decided to talk to you in the sun room for a reason..."

Hinata watched Sasuke paused in mid-sentence, this was serious. He had a hard time putting his words in the right place and wasn't sure how to explain the situation, he looked into her eyes deeply and decided to tell the best way he could about what was going on.

Sasuke looked down, "Naruto and I...fought...um, this is probably the worst we've ever gone.."

Hinata gasped, "What? You and Naruto? You guys were fine a few weeks ago..."

"Well...It may have looked that way but my ambition is taking over everything I think about..."

Hinata lowered her head then looked up, "Sasuke...I don't want you to take a chance like this.."

"I know but it looks like I don't have a choice..."

Hinata knew right where this was going, Sasuke wanted to go after Itachi alone. She could see the pain in his eyes, the revenge, and his ambition. She had the sense that Sasuke would have to leave in order to do this, that was what Hinata was afraid of. Putting their relationship on hold.

Hinata turned away as tears streamed down her face, "Sasuke...I don't want you to leave..."

Sasuke frowned, he knew how hard this was, "I know but this is the part that hurts me the most...leaving you..."

"Please, Sasuke. Don't do this..."

Sasuke sighed, "That's the problem, I don't know what to do..."

Hinata jumped on his lap and hugged him, Sasuke hugged her as tight as he could. Hinata hoped that he would change his mind and they would still have their time together but she wasn't sure what to think. Sasuke wiped her tears away as he petted her, she smiled as the two held hands.

Sasuke continued to pet her, "Aw, Ina...I know, I wasn't ready for this either..."

Hinata sighed, "I guess if it's something you really want to do, then I won't stop you..."

"Really? Hinata you just..."

Hinata looked at him, "Sasuke, I'm starting to realize something...I think this is the reason why I don't want to hold you back..."

Sasuke watched carefully as Hinata pushed him onto the floor and she began to giggle. She got on top of him and slowly inched toward his mouth. She gently kissed him, the first kiss she ever had with boy. Sasuke eyes widened, Hinata was surprising him more than ever now but he didn't expect this from her. They rolled around as they took turns kissing each other.

Sasuke broke away gently as Hinata kissed him on the cheek. She blushed heavily as she rested her head on Sasuke's shoulder. Sasuke couldn't speak for two minutes as he gazed at Hinata who giggled and held him close, he finally found his words.

"H-Hinata...Did you just..?" Sasuke stammered, "...I didn't expect you to..."

"Kiss you? I don't what happened to me...I had this feeling..." She smiled.

Sasuke began to laugh, the first time she had ever heard him laugh. He stopped laughing as he smiled at Hinata, "Oh, Hinata. This is wonderful."

Hinata giggled as Sasuke turned to her and began to kiss her again, they were starting to turn into boyfriend and girlfriend. Many of the girls had gone through two or three but Hinata was just starting with her first, Sasuke was also starting with his first girlfriend.

Hinata smiled then frowned, "I guess you and Naruto aren't friends..."

"No. I don't think he trusts me anymore..."

Hinata hugged Sasuke, "I'm sure you'll think things over..."

"...I'm not sure how this will go, Ina." Sasuke put his hands together, "I know I may have to do things to get to Itachi..."

Hinata began to worry again, Sasuke made it sound like he was going to go after his ambition again. He had not talked about it for almost a year but his desire was strong and he couldn't ignore it. Hinata decided that if he was going to, then he could do it.

He slowly got up, "I think I've said enough, Hinata."

Hinata followed him, she felt like she could handle it, "I-I think I can manage but only if you promise to see me a lot...When you get back.."

Sasuke sighed, "Hinata...Are you saying that you still want to be together by then?"

"Yes. I have a feeling that I will feel a different emotion..."

Sasuke almost blushed, he knew that she was going to love him. Hinata would do anything for him and he would anything for her, he smiled. Hinata laughed, Sasuke always loved to hear her laugh, it was comforting.

Sasuke smiled then frowned, "I don't plan on leaving until half-way into the next year, we'll still have time for everything else..."

Hinata smiled, "Like going to the beach and having ice cream..."

Sasuke hugged her as she felt something slide into her hands, it was wrapped up in velvet. Hinata began to get excited as she stared at it, what could it be?

Sasuke smiled, "You can't open it until the day I leave...I don't want the surprised spoiled."

Hinata felt it, "I wonder what it is? I can't wait to open it..."

Sasuke grabbed her right hand and held it tightly, Sasuke was ready to be her boyfriend now but they still would be friends too. Hinata blushed heavily as Sasuke petted her hand, it would take some time to get used to.

Sasuke smiled, "Are you ready for tomorrow? A lot of people are going to eye us..."

Hinata smiled, "I can't wait, things are going to be a lot different..."

Sasuke and her walked out of the sun room as Neji caught sight of the new couple. He couldn't believe they were already together, he went to say something as Hinata put her finger on his lip.

"Tomorrow, Neji..."

Sasuke whispered in Hinata's ear, "I think he's jealous..."

Hinata giggled softly as she lead Sasuke to the door. He looked back as he left, Hinata ran up to him and kissed him on the lips. Sasuke put his arm around her and waved good bye, she closed the door and jumped up with excitement as she screamed.

"I have a boyfriend!!! Sasuke Uchiha is my boyfriend!!!" she screamed.

Neji sighed and half-smiled, "I didn't expect it but it happened..."

"Neji, he's my first boyfriend!!! I'm so excited!"

"Well, I still think you two would be better off..."

Hinata ignored Neji as she jumped on the couch and screamed so more, she was so excited. She couldn't wait to go on more dates with Sasuke.

That's chapter 5, please R&R.
