Author's notes: Whew! I finally did my Physics Demonstration – It was huge, messy success… :)

Thank you so much to: Estheriana, Sincerly- MiSS J, keke1010, winterkaguya, Ookami Tsubasawa, Akatsuki's Hinata-hime, and bluepika.

I decided to finish this fic at Chapter 15. I don't like my stories to rally on like never ending t.v. series.

OHMIGOSH. I have so many visitors and yet... and yet… I feel abandoned. However, reviews, alerts, and favorites did changed my mind. :]

Well, here you go. Naruto's in for a surprise.

---------------

"What did you say?" Sasuke asked, totally surprised. He let go of Hinata, who was still cuddled in his arms. The latter quickly brought her hand to her mouth; even she was surprised at what she said.

"I-I'm sorry! I… I didn't m-mean to! I… I…" She blurted as she shakily stood up, slowly backing away from Sasuke. After taking a few steps away from him, she quickly turned her heel and ran away. Sasuke called her name, grabbed his coat from the ground, and ran. Eventually he overtook her.

"Hey! Where are you going? Why did you run just now?" Sasuke asked as he seized her elbow, stopping in front of her. Hinata bowed her head in despair, still trembling.

What did I just say? Did I really say that I… I love him? What's gotten into me? How… how could I even say that to him? Her thoughts ran wild. She lowly tugged her arm away from Sasuke but remained standing still. Looking at the ground, she decided to clear matters with Sasuke, if not to herself.

"I'm sorry… T-this past couple of years I… I…" She started, not sure of what to say. Sasuke waited patiently.

"I… guess I c-changed, hadn't I?" Sasuke chuckled at her remark.

"How am I supposed to know if I had not known you your entire life?"

"Oh…yes…Sorry…I-it's just… I don't know…"

"I don't know, too," Sasuke butted again, looking at the starry sky, "You know, about this couple of years, I guess I should say I'm fascinated by you. I never really noticed you till now. Honestly, I even think… I even think that you were a weirdo and a strange, weak girl back in the academy days, but I do appreciate your distance to me back then. Those shrieking girls really annoy me whenever I get into their sight."

"T-thank you…I guess…"

"Heh. Yeah, guess things do change. For the better, I hope…" Sasuke said in a very low tone that it had Hinata tremble in fear. As Sasuke leaned towards her Hinata knew he was asking for another kiss, so she quickly took her face away from his and squeaked 'Naruto-kun!' in a surprised and worried tone.

Sasuke stopped; he almost forgot that stupid blonde friend of his! Whirling his head to the direction where Hinata was looking, he saw Naruto's furious frame, scary and ready to kill, some distance away, but coming closer. Sasuke quickly grabbed hold of Hinata and gently pushed her behind him, all the while taking his Katana out of its sheath (It never leaves his side).

"Sasuke…What are you doing?" Naruto asked in a threatening pitch, still coming closer. He stop right in front of them exactly five feet from the two.

"Don't come near, Naruto. I'm warning you." Sasuke said in his cold tone.

"Oh yeah? Look who's talking. The great despicable fiend stealing his friend's girl," Naruto chuckled in sarcasm, "Amusing."

Sasuke, slightly taken aback by Naruto's words and the truth behind them, strengthened his courage.

"She never was yours to begin with."

"HOW DARE YOU!" Naruto shouted, already aiming for Sasuke's face. Hinata screamed, but was tumbled down on the floor the moment Naruto flung himself onto Sasuke. The latter, who was now struggling to topple Naruto, swiftly blew a jab onto Naruto's side, which the blonde quickly eluded. On the two went on, punching and attacking and killing each other with all that they have.

Sasuke managed to overthrow Naruto. He quickly stood up as Naruto was still recovering from the blow he had. Wiping the trickling blood from his nose, he spit a few more onto the paved ground. Hinata shouted at them to stop, but Sasuke was already giving Naruto a combo of his techniques. For a while Hinata thought Sasuke would really kill Naruto with all the blows he's giving him, but Naruto suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly dashed to Sasuke for revenge.

Hinata was awful scared of both of them. She never knew or imagined that the two would berserk like that. Both of them were scary. Especially Naruto, who is carrying the Nine-tailed fox inside him. The two were brawling like there was no tomorrow; the ground already torn off and small debris flying everywhere.

"NO! P-PLEASE STOP!" Hinata shouted with all her might, to no avail. They were already using techniques they mastered these past years; no one could measure there strength and power. Immeasurable. Incomparable. Unrivaled. Unsurpassed.

Hinata knew she needed to stop the fight quick. Especially on Naruto's case when the demon fox would dominate him any time.

She decided to step right in the middle of the battle; it was a now or never decision.

"You'll never have her, never!" Naruto's words rang through Sasuke's ears. He, Sasuke, who always get what he wants, and will have what he doesn't, was enraged. Who was Naruto to talk to him like this? He wanted Hinata; hell, he loved her!!! And what he wants, he gets. And he'll make sure Naruto realize this.

Naruto, on the other hand, was filled with anger and fury. He had trusted his girlfriend to his friend! What the hell was Sasuke doing, leaning close to Hinata like that?! HE is the boy friend; HE had the right over Hinata. Whatever clouded Sasuke's mind, it was surely a hell load of crap.

Sasuke and Naruto both made hand jutsus. It was like the final blow; their strongest technique in the strongest clash.

Hinata ran towards them. Taking off the eels she was wearing so that she could run faster, she ran towards them. Towards them, who were casting jutsus. To them, who were both enraged with fury and hate towards each other. Towards them, consumed in oblivion, blinded by wrath and hatred, as they both gave their last, fatal shot.

Hinata, who desperately longed for them to stop, realized the danger that she was running to. Towards them. Towards death.

"Hinata, no!" Both of them shouted as Hinata was caught in between their two, powerful jutsus.

Crimson: Noooo! Hina-chan!

Sasuke and Naruto: -can't move-

Crimson: What've you done... What have you done?! You were so focused on hating and killing each other that you didn't realize Hinata was running towards you – just as you released you shots!!

Sasuke and Naruto: -can't move still-

Crimson: Oh nose! Hina-chan! Hang ON!!!!

Hugs and hershies~ xoxoxo
