Chapter five

Two weeks have passed so far and Sasuke as yet to tell Rumiko that he wants to break it off. Currently Sasuke, Kiba and Hinata were at they're favorite place to be…the local diner. Kiba was currently looking at a picture of Rumiko that Sasuke had.

"You know I think I know a way to get women" He smirked as he looked up from the picture of Rumiko and than back up to Sasuke and Hinata.

"What?! How are you going to do that? Plus I thought that you were dating that women from the apartment across the street" Sasuke asked as he looked at Kiba.

"Eh…oh that lady…oh no I'm not dating her anymore she had this very annoying laugh so I dumped her" Hinata looked at Kiba like he grown two heads.

"You dumped her because her laugh was annoying?" Kiba had nodded. "Yeah…she thought I was funny and when she laughed she sounded like a hyena or something and then even when I wasn't even trying to be funny she'll still laugh…" Kiba let out a long sigh. "It was rather irksome and I couldn't handle it so I dumped her"

Sasuke looked at Hinata. "And you call me shallow" Hinata sighed. "I say the both of you are shallow" She mumbled under her breath as she started drinking her water.

"So anyways like I was saying if I tell people that I was once engaged but my fiancée died and I showed them the picture saying this was my fiancée…" Sasuke looked at Kiba.

"What?"

"Don't you see? Women like that are liked member of a secret tribe living in a forbidden city. People like me having been inside in years…but with this, I'm back into the game! I mean look at her Sasuke this woman looks like a model" Kiba stated with a blush as he looked once more at Rumiko's picture.

"Yeah…she does" Sasuke stated. Hinata grunted as looked away from both males. Sasuke and Kiba looked at her as they both then looked at each other.

"I mean…she's not all that beautiful…she's okay. If you ask me she's nothing compared to Hinata" Kiba smiled at her. She frowned as she looked at him causing him to gulp and look away.

"Trying to me feel better by lying" She frowned as she grunted and looked away when Kiba attempting to say something. Sasuke sighed as he looked at the two.

"So can I keep the picture Sasuke?" Kiba asked trying to get back into the previous topic he brought up.

Sasuke shrugged his shoulders. "Sure I don't care. If she had her large man hands showing you're little trick won't work so you're lucky that they aren't on there" Kiba chuckled as he stood up from the booth.

"I'd really like to see her so called large man hands one day to see if they are really that huge as you say are" Sasuke nodded as he closed his eyes.

"Oh believe me they are huge" Kiba shook his head as he walked out the diner.

When he left Sasuke and Hinata looked at each other. "So…" Sasuke said as he looked at her.

"So…?" She smiled as she looked at him. He smiled as he looked at her. "Well my father's dinner party…you um will come with me right? I mean when it gets here?" He asked as he looked at her.

"Of course you know I'll come…I mean best friends always stick together, ne?" He grinned as he looked at her.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&

As Kiba was walking he spotted a woman. He grinned as he looked her before approaching her. "Ah excuse me miss but do you know what street this is? I'm new to this city and I don't know"

The woman looked at him and frowned. "Look at the street sign that's what they are for" She hissed as she looked at him.

"W-Well I looking for this place right here…ano" Kiba started fishing through his wallet as he conveniently dropped the photo of Rumiko into the woman's view. The woman bent down to put up the photo.

"Oh! She's beautiful! Who is she?" She asked as she stared at the picture.

"Well if you must know, she…was my fiancée Rumiko. May she rest in peace" Kiba said in a humble way as he looked down at the ground as a sad expression consumed his face.

"Oh sorry…She was lovely" The woman stated as she looked back at the picture before handing it back to him. "I'm Inoue" She smiled as she looked at him.

"I'm Kiba" He grinned as he shook her hand.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Sasuke was currently at work when Rumiko came into his office. "Hi Sasuke-kun" She grinned. Sasuke looked up from his papers and smiled.

"Hi Rumiko" But the smiled turned into a slight frown when he glanced down at her hands. "Just don't look at the hands…don't look at them" He stated as he looked away from her hands looking back up at her smiling.

"So what brings you in here?" He asked before returning back to his paper work.

"I finished the report you wanted me to finish just now" He looked at her as she set a stack of papers down on his desk. "What else do you need me to do Sasuke-kun?" She asked as she looked at him.

He had to admit Rumiko was probably one of his best assistants she worked really hard and he admired that about her.

"I'll call you if I do…until then that is all" He stated. She nodded as she walked towards the door but then she stopped. "Ano…Sasuke-kun is it okay if I stop by tomorrow?" She asked as she looked at him shyly.

He nodded. "Sure I don't mind" He stated never once looking up at her. She smiled before nodding as she walked out of his office.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Hinata had the day off and she currently hanging out with Naruto. The two have become rather close over the past few weeks and it was clear to say that they both liked each other.

"Hinata-chan…ano gomen if you find this out of line but I think you're very gorgeous" He blushed as he looked away from her.

Hinata just stared at him completely shock not saying a word. "Ack! I knew it was bad idea to tell you that. Listen Hinata-chan I don't want you to be-"

"No-no its okay…I didn't find it out of line at all. I'm just…shocked that you think that about me of all people" She stated as she looked down at her fingers and started fiddling with them with that famous blush of hers on her face.

He looked at her smiling. "Why wouldn't I think that about you? You are the most beautiful women that I ever laid eyes on…and I say what I meant you are gorgeous" He smiled at her.

She continued blushing as she then looked up at him shyly. "…N-Naruto-kun…" She whispered as she looked at him.

"Yes…Hinata-chan" He smiled as he looked at her. She quickly looked down turning a darker shade of red. He grinned at her shyness.

"Hinata-chan if it's okay with you…ano I would like to take you out for a date. If it's okay with you" He looked at her with nervousness written all over his face, afraid of rejection from her.

"A-Ano…I'd love to N-Naruto-kun" She smiled at him.

"Great we could meet at Konoha Square this Friday at 7pm" He grinned. She smiled while they both wore dark shades of red on their cheeks.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Later that day Sasuke was finally home from a long day at work and he was tired. "It's 12 midnight…Hinata isn't home yet. She must be working overtime or something" He sighed as he turned on the TV.

He was watching TV for awhile dozing off a few times until the phone woke him up. He glared at the ringing phone for waking him as he picked it up.

Sasuke: What?

(He was very irritated that someone disturbed him from his sleep and the fact that they are calling after 12 midnight)

Kiba: Hey buddy

(Sasuke groaned as he closed his eyes)

Sasuke: Baka do you have a life? Why are you calling me at this time of the night? I was sleep you know

Kiba: Oh sorry…didn't mean to wake you

(Sasuke sighed)

Sasuke: So anyway…you must be calling for a reason now what is it? Spill it

Kiba: Well the picture of Rumiko…it worked!

(Sasuke eyes then opened)

Sasuke: So the picture worked. Heh…that's something

Kiba: Hey-hey isn't it? The girl I'm going out with it beyond beautiful. And we're going out tomorrow night

Sasuke: Oh that's good…

Kiba: Yeah…hey, she wants me to dress uh, 'smart casual'. What…ano…what is that?

Sasuke: I don't know…but you don't have it

(Kiba frowned as he glared at the phone)

Kiba: Whatever…bye

Sasuke smirked as he hung up the phone. "That got him to hang up" He smirked but his eyes directed to the door when it opened. Sasuke looked up at Hinata who wore the biggest smile on her face.

"Oi Hinata…why are you so happy?" When he didn't get a responds he frowned. He watched her walk towards the bathroom door as she walked inside and closed the door.

He frowned to himself. "Why is she so happy? I've never seen her this happy before. What's going on?" He asked himself wide awake now. He sat there on the couch for a good few minutes thinking about why Hinata could be so happy until he couldn't take it anymore. He stood up from the couch and walked towards the bathroom door and opened the door to see her in a bathwater full of bubbles.

"SASUKE-KUN…I'M NAKED" Sasuke blushed but then he put on the serious expression. "It's nothing I haven't seen before" She blushed as she sunk deeper into the water.

"Well what is it?"

"Well what? What are you talking about Sasuke-kun?"

"You came in the house all happy about something. And I want to know what"

She grinned. "I'm going out on a date…this Friday" She smiled.

Sasuke stared at her in shock. "W-What?"

"A date with this new guy at our job. He's so cute…and funny…and cute" She sighed at the thought of him.

Sasuke frowned. "I don't like this one bit…" He frowned. Hinata had a boyfriend before last year and he wasn't happy then either.

"Well you can at least be happy for me Sasuke-kun…" She looked at him.

He frowned. "Happy…why should I be happy for you getting a date?" He frowned as he slammed the door behind him.

"Geez…" She sighed as she submerged her whole body in the water.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"I can't believe she's going out on a date. He's probably a jerk. She deserves better than whomever this guy is…I know I'm better than this guy. Wait a minute what am I thinking about…why am I jealous? I'm not I can't be jealous…I just need to forget about it" He sighed as he started to fall asleep on his room.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

When Hinata woke the next morning she smelled something burning. She sat up in her bed as she hurried out her room to see smoke coming from out of the kitchen. She ran into the kitchen to hear Sasuke cursing.

"Damn it…" He hissed. Hinata giggled causing him to turn around and frown at her.

"It's not funny Hinata" He hissed out.

Hinata walked closer towards him. "Aw were you trying to make breakfast?" She giggled as she looked at the burnt food. She couldn't even tell what it was suppose to be it was so burnt.

"Tch…" He grunted. "I just want to make you something before you went to work this morning…I was cooking it but then something on TV distracted me so I started watching TV for awhile and forgot that I was cooking something that it until I smelled something and saw smoke coming from the kitchen" He stated in a embarrassed tone as he looked away from her blushing.

She smiled as she walked towards him as she was now inches away from his face. "Sasuke-kun just leave the cooking to me next time" She giggled as she leaned forwards and kissed him on the lips.

He blushed but kissed her back. "Che…don't worry I won't cook ever again. I'm not good in it anyway"

"Right you get easily distracted" She giggled. He frowned at her but then he smirked as he embraced her.

"Oh trying to make fun of me Hina-chan" He whispered in her ear as he started tickling her. She laughed as she tired to move away from him but he was holding her in a tight grip.

"Sasuke-kun" She laughed out loud. He chuckled as he continued tickling her. The two always had their fun moments together…moments that made him smile and laugh.

As this was happening Neji came into the apartment and stared at the two. "Oi…" Neji loud and deep voice caught both Sasuke and Hinata's attention as they stopped to turn and look at him.

"Oh hello Neji-niisan" He smiled as he looked at her.

"Hey…" Neji then sniffed the air. "What's that smell?" He asked causing Sasuke to sulk as he looked down at the floor. Hinata giggling while Neji raised an eyebrow.

"Sasuke-kun…ano tried to cook and it didn't go so well" Neji chuckled as he looked at his best friend.

"I see…just leave the cooking to Hinata-sama, Sasuke" Neji smirked.

"Che, I know that now!" He said in defense as he looked at Neji who was laughing.

"So Niisan what brings you here this morning?" Hinata asked as she and Sasuke started cleaning the kitchen.

"Ah…nothing really…just coming by to tell you that I'll be going to Tokyo for awhile" Sasuke and Hinata stopped cleaning as they walked quickly towards Neji slightly startling him since he didn't expect Sasuke and Hinata to hurry over towards him so quickly.

"Tokyo? Why are you going there?" Sasuke asked as he looked at his other best friend.

"Yes tell us Neji-niisan" Hinata asked. Neji looked at them both noticing how it seemed like neither of them wanted him to leave.

"Well I'm the stunt man for this upcoming action movie…and I need to go there. Since the movie will be filmed in Tokyo" Neji stated.

"Oh…" Is all the male Uchiha and female Hyuuga said.

"Yeah I'll be there for about six months"

"That long?" Sasuke asked. He wouldn't admit it but he didn't want Neji to leave. Neji was his only truly best male friend sure he has Naruto and Kiba as his best friends but if Neji left for six months that means he'll be stuck with two idiots known as…Naruto and Kiba. Sasuke sighed.

"Yeah six months but I'll be sure to keep in touch, okay?" He stated as he looked at his cousin and best friend.

They both nodded not saying another word. "Well…I have to get going now. My plane leaves within the next two hours so…yeah" He stated as he walked towards the door.

"Bye…niisan"

"Yeah…see ya" Neji slightly frowned at their depressing tones.

"I'll be back you act as if I'm leaving and never coming back" Hinata and Sasuke straightened up after hearing this.

"I'm just fine Neji-niisan…have a nice time there" Hinata grinned at Neji.

"Yeah I'm not worry about that…I can care less about you leaving" Sasuke stated as he turned looking away from Neji.

Neji smirked as he listened to the two as he turned around and walked out the door. "See ya in six months" He stated as he walked out the door. As soon as he closed the door Hinata and Sasuke slumped down on the couch.

"Six months…he's going to be gone for six months" Hinata murmured.

"Yeah…that's a long time. He said he'll call though" Sasuke stated. Both Sasuke and Hinata were facing away from each other with their backs touching leaning against each other.

"Well it's not that long if you don't think about it" Sasuke stated as he stood up making Hinata fall back since she was no longer leaning on him.

"Well I'm getting ready for work…sorry we couldn't eat together like we normal do but I have to go" He stated as he walked towards the bathroom to take a shower.

She sighed as she walked into the kitchen and decided to make herself some coffee before she went to work.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

As the Hyuuga woman was walking she spotted Naruto from afar as she walked up. "N-Naruto-kun…?" He turned around to look to see who was calling him.

"Oi…eh? Ah Hinata-chan" He grinned as he looked at her. "I almost didn't recognize you" She smiled as she looked at him.

"I was just coming from that café getting myself a cup of coffee…it keeps my up when I'm at work" He grinned. She smiled and nodded.

"So you want to split a cab to work?" He asked as he looked at her. She nodded as they both walked towards a cab that was driving up towards them.

"After you milady" Hinata blushed as she stepped into the cab. When they were inside the cab driver turned slightly to look at them.

"Where to?"

"Ano…the Hokage's building" He stated. He nodded as he pulled off and started driving.

Naruto shyly looked over at Hinata. He liked her so much and the more and more time he spent with her the more her began to fall for her. He wanted so badly to just ask her to be his girlfriend but…he wanted to get to know her a little more before asking her that question.

"Ne, Naruto-kun for lunch t-today would you like to go together?" She asked him shyly.

"Of course I'd love to go with you Hinata-chan" They both grinned at each other.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Sasuke was just not coming out from the bathroom, now fully clothed. He looked into the kitchen to see a bento box with food inside for him. He smiled to himself.

"…Hinata…" He smiled thoughtfully as he picked up the box and went to work. As he walked out his door he saw Kiba coming out his apartment as well.

"Hey…you're on you way to work?" He asked him. Sasuke nodded.

"Where are you heading?" Kiba then grinned.

"I'm going out with Inoue to this club she's taking me to" Sasuke nodded as he looked away from him.

"Well not like what you're saying isn't interesting but I have to go now" He stated as he walked passed him towards the elevator. Kiba grunted as he took the stairs.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Later on that today Kiba was out with Inoue at the club. Kiba looked around the club and grins. "This is a fantastic place! I always thought it was a meat packing plant!" Inoue smiles at Kiba.

As Inoue and Kiba were talking three women comes up towards Kiba and Inoue. "Hey! Inoue!" One woman said.

Inoue turns around and smiles at them as she them turns back towards Kiba. "These are my friends. Re'L, Motoko and Tohru. We use to model together" Kiba blushes as he looks at all three women.

"Oh! Modeling! What's that like? Fun? Ha-ha" He laughed but mentally he was kicking himself in the head.

"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" He cursed himself mentally.

They all looked him for awhile before talking amongst each others. "So Re'L how was France this time?

"A bore…I had no fun there are all" She said in a bored tone.

Kiba looks at them and he smiled a devious smile mentally. "You know, I use to love Paris. My uh, dead fiancée, Rumiko…" Kiba opened his wallet. "In fact I think I might have a picture of her…" Kiba then pulls out a picture of her.

They all look at the picture in awe. "Wow…she was beautiful…do you want to dance?" Tohru asked as she looked at Kiba.

He grinned. "Of course! I would love to"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Naruto and Hinata were off of work but decided to spend time with each other. "So Hinata-chan I can't wait for out date this Friday, can you?" He asked as he looked at her grinning.

She blushed as she shook her head. "N-No I can't either N-Naruto-kun" He grinned.

"You're so cute when you smile and blush and stutter and when you do a lot of other things as well" She blushed even more causing Naruto grin to widen.

"See that's what I'm talking about your just too cute"

"N-Naruto-kun you're embarrassing me" She blushed not making eye contact with him. He smiled.

"I'm sorry Hinata-chan" He then looked up at the sky. "It'll be getting late pretty soon you want me to walk you home?"

"Ano…you can if you'll like to" She blushed.

"Great I'll do that when it get dark out. I'll walk you home"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

As the day went by it soon became night and Kiba was now at home in his apartment thinking about the club. "I'm finally inside the women's paradise" He sighed as he was blowing dying his hair. He glanced down at the picture.

"And it's all thanks to you Rumiko" He grinned down at the picture. As he was looking down at the picture the phone started ringing. He put the blow dyer down next to the picture while the dyer is still running.

"Hello? Oh hi Inoue. Hi, yes. Listen, you know I'm thinking we might just be better off just being friends. Yeah…yeah you know what, I can't even really talk about it right now. Bye-bye" Kiba then hangs up the phone happy with himself, but then he sees the burned up photo.

"No! No!" Kiba quickly rushed to the now burned up Rumiko picture.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Friends. Just friends?" Rumiko asked as she looked at Sasuke.

"Yeah" He stated as he looked at her.

"Okay then. Well do you still want to see a movie later?" She asked him.

Sasuke sighed as he looked at her. "I wish I could, but we're friends…" He stated as he looked at her.

Rumiko nods her head. "I'm just going to go wash my hands"

"Good idea" Sasuke stated as he watched her walk towards the bathroom. "There's a beach towel on the rack to dry your hands off with" He muttered to himself thinking back to her large hands.

The phone than started ringing as he walked towards it and picked it up.

Sasuke: Yeah….

Kiba: Sasuke! Sasuke…the ano-ano the hair dryer ruined the picture. And I need another one or I can't get back into the Forbidden City!

(Kiba pleaded him over the phone)

(Sasuke smirked fully well knowing who it was)

Sasuke: Who is this…?

(Sasuke said in a joking tone to Kiba)

Kiba: Sasuke! I need another picture of man-hands. I'm begging you!

Sasuke: ….If i give you this picture will stop calling me at work to ask me stupid questions?

Kiba: Yes! Yes, alright anything…the picture Sasuke

(Sasuke looks towards the bathroom where Rumiko is taking forever)

Sasuke: Alright I'll get you another one…bye

Kiba: Thank you so-

Sasuke hangs up on Kiba as he opens Rumiko's purse and peeks around in it. As he was looking around the purse he finally found a picture.

"Got it" He smirked but he stopped smirking with a large set of man hands grabbed his arm. Sasuke looked up at Rumiko. "Uh…!"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

It was now the next day and Hinata and Shikamaru were inside their apartment. "So you and this guy are becoming rather close, ne?" Shikamaru asked as he looked at her.

She blushed as she nodded her head. "So what about Sasuke? What does he think of all of this?"

"A-Ano…well I told him about my date this Friday but he got mad for some reason" Shikamaru sighed as he rolled his eyes.

"Figures he'll get mad" He muttered to himself. As they were talking Sasuke came inside the apartment and Hinata and Shikamaru noticed the bandages wrapped around his hand up to his arm.

Hinata ran quickly towards him. "Sasuke-kun when did this happen?"

"Yesterday..." He answered. As they were all talked Kiba came into the apartment.

"So hey Sasuke did you get my picture?" He grinned. Sasuke glared at him.

"Thanks to you I almost got my arm ripped out my socket my man-hands trying to get that picture for you" Kiba looked at his hand and back up to his face.

"Oh…So did you get the picture" He grinned once more. Sasuke was so angry that he was trying to hit Kiba but Shikamaru and Hinata were holding him back.

"No I didn't get that damn picture" He hissed out. Kiba sighed.

"Oh well. Well I'm going to the club anyways…see ya" Kiba then walked out the door.

Sasuke grunted. "Damn baka…get of my nerves. My arm almost gets rip off my man-hands and all he cares about is that damn picture" Sasuke hissed. Hinata giggles as she wrapped her arms around Sasuke.

"Aw there-there Sasuke-kun I care about you arm" She smiled sweetly at him. He looked at her smiled weakly before looking away blushing.

Shikamaru looked at the two as he sighed. "When will they both realize it?"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

As Kiba was at the club one of the women looks at him in a disgusted way. Kiba grins as he walks towards her. "Hi. I'm Kiba"

"Are you sure you're supposed to be here?"

"Oh, yeah. Yeah. I used to come here all of the all time with my fiancée, back when it was a meat-packing plant. Ha. Here's her picture" Kiba hands her a magazine page.

The women looked at the picture and back up to Kiba. "What did you do? Cut this out a magazine or something?" She asked while slightly frowning.

Kiba looks at her in a confused way but slightly shocked. "Huh?"

"That's me! It's from a Clinique ad I did…."

Kiba slightly laughs feeling embarrassed and nervous as he looked at the woman. "Ha! Heh" Kiba laughed.

The security guard looks at the woman noticing how she looked uncomfortable around Kiba so he walked towards Kiba. "Alright let's go. Private party no outsiders"

"H-Hey wait a minute! I'm not outsider. I'm in I tell you! I'm in!" The man then threw Kiba out the door.

"And stay out"
