Yey. I didn't know our periodical exam was just this easy. Whahahahaha.

So in other words I don't need to review THAT hard. And I can update this fic of mine.

Arigatou to: lovingo0Kawaii0oGirl, Sincerly- MiSS J, and ever-loving HeartBrokenHinata.

I can't seem to edit my profile (;o;) I want to add some other notes, but even if I saved them, they don't show! Ooohhh… I'll just post them here, then. Wahahahaha.

At least when someone claims them I have proof that I'm the first and original author of these stories.

Future Fanfics:

Summary: When Kakashi says he was lost on the road of life, he takes it literally. And when nobody believes him, he takes Naruto and Hinata tag along with him to prove himself. Crackfic! XD NaruxHina

Well… here we go…

Recap:

Naruto dropped on the floor. "Well, I'm bored. Let's play!"

"Naruto, don't you think you're too old for that?" Sasuke frigidly asked with a tone of surprise and disbelief. Hinata only giggled, knowing Naruto, who always has the tendency to go back to his not-so-well-spent childhood years.

"Teme! If you have better ideas then spit them out. You're not helping at all!"

"Hn."

"That annoying 'Hn.' of yours gets into my nerves! I say, let's play a game! If and WHEN I won, you stop that 'Hn.'ing of yours!"

"And when I won?"

"You WON'T win. So don't bother."

"Hn. Hn. Hn. Hn. H—"

"Ok, ok!! Name your price. What do you want?"

Sasuke, eyes closed, with an uncanny look painting his face, smiled. He scoffed, and yes, he enjoyed having Naruto and Hinata wait for his answer. Then he quickly blurted the words that made Hinata's and Naruto's heart stop.

"A date with Hyuuga Hinata."

--

Naruto didn't move. Specifically, he couldn't. He felt numb. Flabbergasted.

Had he heard wrong? Is that what really Sasuke said? Maybe there's something wrong with his ears… or maybe he imagined it. Yes, that's what it is. An imagination. Purely, highly imagined by him. He sat still motionless on the carpeted floor.

Hinata, on the other hand, was exactly like Naruto. Couldn't speak, couldn't move, she just can't believe what she heard. Looking at Sasuke, then to Naruto, then back to Sasuke again, she's just all too confused to say anything. Worse, she couldn't make out what her reaction should be. She felt that she's supposed to refuse. After all, She and Naruto are… But deep inside, she knew, and ignoring it, there's this feeling that makes her blush a shade darker than her blush at Naruto. Uchiha Sasuke wants to date… her? She, the shy, weak, clumsy girl? A girl who can't even meet the standard of being an heiress? A girl that is considered 'good for nothing'? No, it can't be. Sasuke's tastes are surely different, no? Because she is the kind of girl that no one appreciates. The lady of which nobody loves.

Naruto.

Oh, yes, except Naruto-kun…and Sakura-chan.

But, no. Sasuke couldn't be serious.

Hinata bowed her head in shame. She was sure of it. Sasuke was just insulting her. See? He has that smile on his face. Like a kid's smile when he's teasing someone. I… I know I-I'm not beautif-ful… nor s-strong… but d-does he… n-needs to mock and deride me t-that way? Was all that she could think. She was already on the verge of tears when Naruto spoke up.

"You're kidding, aren't you?" Was what Naruto said, his tone serious and adult-like. It was just like 'take that back or I'll kill you'.

Sasuke scoffed. A defiant look plastered across his face, looking directly at Naruto.

"I never knew how to laugh," He said. Standing from his chair, he went over to where Hinata was, who was watching the heated conversation with moist eyes, looked at her intently, and then continued, "…and I was thinking perhaps she'll teach me."

"That's it!" Naruto screamed as he stood up, his clenched fist already flying to Sasuke's cheek. But even before he could punch the prodigy, the scared yet quite blushing Hinata forced her way between them. Hinata placed both of her hands on Naruto's chest and softly pulled him away from Sasuke. The latter, still standing still, as if nothing happened, seemed disappointed. Hn… he surely does love her, he thought.

"I thought when you came back here in Konoha two years ago everything's fine with you! But now, I think you're worse!" Naruto bitterly said.

"Nothing's fine with me. Don't ever forget that."

Naruto snarled and tried to get a fight with Sasuke but Hinata's soft, pale fingers curled around his shoulders wouldn't let him. At last after soothing words from Hinata naruto managed to calm down and mumbled a haste 'sorry' to Sasuke. Naruto exited the room to relieve himself and went to his own.

Sasuke plopped down onto the bed. Hinata didn't know what to say to him. Sighing, she shakily went to where Sasuke was sitting earlier and sat down. She wanted to take away such awkward silence, and so tried a conversation. But it was Sasuke who spoke first, since, it's HINATA after all, and it'll take her ten centuries before she could say 'hi.'

"I'm sorry." Sasuke said, without looking at the confused girl.

"N-nani…?"

"I didn't mean to anger him."

"O-of course…" Hinata didn't know what to say. She started twitching her fingers.

"I know you're wondering."

"h-huh? Yes… I am, actually… why did you--?" She raised her head to Sasuke, hoping of getting n answer as to why he wanted to have a date with her.

"I won't answer that." Sasuke simply remarked, which left the heiress in a disappointed state.

"Someday, probably…" Sasuke then added when he saw Hinata's head drop in sadness. With his continuation, however, Hinata lit up again and smiled. She didn't have the right to pry into somebody's business, she knew that, and so respected his decision on concealing his lips.

Sasuke wanted so bad to tell something to ease her mind. He wanted to say the reason to her, but couldn't, because in the first place he couldn't bring it around even to himself. He wouldn't admit that he was taking a liking to her. No, it was not love. Yet. Maybe it will be, in the future, but at that time, he knew that he was beginning to be fond of her. She's always smiling and cheery and reasonable, not forgetting that she's stronger than other kunoichi. And she would be a perfect mother to his children. Come on, hyuuga blood plus Uchiha blood, Byakugan plus Sharingan, the revived clan will be stronger than ever. But this he did not metion, in fear of her being scared of him. He didn't want her to be scared. He wanted her to be actually friends with her.

Right after their abrupt conversation, the door of the room suddenly burst open by Naruto, beaming with joy. Hinata was glad that Naruto had already recovered from the incident. Oh, she knows Naruto. In a minute he's be gloomy and sad and all that, and the next he's bright and cheery as ever. Just. Like. Naruto.

"Alright! Let's forget what happened and get going onto the game!!" he shouted, but not that loud lest the babies will be awake. Hinata sweat-dropped while Sasuke chuckled. Apparently he was expecting this. "If I win, you'll stop those 'Hn.' of yours! And if you win, you'll earn a date from Hinata!"

"W-what?!" Hinata managed to scream.

"Ah, don't worry Hinata-chan! I'm gonna win this thing!" Naruto said, beaming a huge smile to her. Sasuke grinned and stood up.

"Alright. Let the fun begin."
