A Love Triangle: Chapter Nine
Going back to Konoha
"Now let's finish our fight" He said while grinning looking at Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto and Hinata. Sakura and Naruto frowned as they looked at Heijiro.
"Right let's finish" Naruto said while smirking. Asano hit the back of Heijiro's head causing Heijiro to glare at him.
"What did you do that for?"
"We're not fighting them anymore" Asano said while glaring back at his brother. Both Heijiro and Sakura and Naruto looked at him in shock. "WHAT! WHY NOT?" Heijiro yelled. Asano frowned. "Must you ask so many questions?"
"I only asked why…I thought that you wanted-"
"Look I know what I said okay" Asano frowned. Heijiro gulped as he looked away from his brother. He knew not to say anything else judging from his tone, he knew when his brother was angry and didn't like to keep pestering him when he was in that mood.
Asano turned towards Hinata as he grabbed her hand causing her to blush. Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura looked at him in shock.
"What does that baka think he's doing" The raven haired ninja thought.
"Geez does every guy in the world like Hinata-san…first Sasuke-kun then Naruto now HIM and he's the enemy…well I think he still is…ARGGGHHH" Inner Sakura thought while outer Sakura remained calm trying to hold back Naruto who was trying to leap on Asano for even touching Hinata.
"What happened while they were gone? Why is he flirting with MY Hinata-chan" Naruto yelled in his mind. Heijiro was shocked himself but knew his brother well and could tell he held interest in the Hyuuga girl.
"Hinata…" He started. Hinata looked at Asano still blushing. "Y-Yes?" She said in a barely audible voice.
"Hinata I want you to know that you are not weak, pathetic, useless or are you a loser. You a very strong, confident ninja, someone as beautiful as you shouldn't think so lowly of themselves" Hinata looked up at him in shock, while Naruto and Sasuke was getting ready to beat up the guy for even being close to Hinata. Sakura and Heijiro looked at Asano in shock also.
"I don't want to hear you talk about yourself like that again okay?" He said while cupping her chin in his hands so he could lift her face up.
"Get you hands off of her you teme" Naruto hissed as he broke away from Sakura's grip on his arm. Asano looked back at Naruto and smirked.
"Don't worry Blondie I'm not trying to steal your girlfriend"
"I'm not- Blondie?" Naruto glared at Asano. He knew what he meant when he called him that…it was because of his hair color but he didn't like that name one bit.
"My name is not BLONDIE IT'S NARUTO" He yelled. Asano smirked. "I know what your name is Blondie you don't need to tell me" Naruto growled.
Asano looked back at Hinata. "Hinata I do hope that your father changes" He whispered. Hinata was still speechless by his words that he said earlier but she nodded.
"You can let go of her hand now" Sasuke hissed. Asano looked down and didn't realize that his other hand was still holding hers. He blushed as he let go.
"Um…sorry about that" He said. "Yeah right" Naruto grunted. Asano glared at Naruto but replaced his glare with a smirk.
"What's wrong? Mad that I'm close to your girlfriend"
"That's not he's girlfriend' Sasuke said. Everyone looked at Sasuke. Naruto glared at the raven haired ninja. "He's just jealous that he thinks Hinata-chan is my girlfriend and not his" Naruto smirked as he continued looking at the raven haired boy.
"I know that…I just like teasing him since someone like him could never get someone like her" He smirked. Naruto was beyond angry now. First he calls him Blondie and now his saying that he could never have someone like Hinata.
"You teme" He hissed. Asano smirked as he looked at the running ninja coming towards him. But before Naruto could even hit Asano, Heijiro blocked his hit.
"I know my brother can be a real jerk at times but don't his personality get to you…he's only joking around with you" Heijiro stated.
"I don't care this jerk is getting on my last nerves" He glares at Asano. "Don't ever touch my Hinata-chan again or else" He said in a stern voice. Hinata looked at Naruto and blushed. "…Naruto-kun…" She said as she looked at him in shock while blushing.
"His Hinata-chan…that dobe she's not his she's MINE" Sasuke thought angrily. While Sakura stood there in shock at what Naruto just said.
"Whatever…see you around Hinata" Asano said as he gave her a wink and a smile while giving Sasuke and Naruto glares as he walked away. Heijiro said his goodbyes to Hinata, Sasuke and Naruto before also leaving but was stopped when he felt someone pull his arm. He turned around to see a pair of green eyes looking at him.
"T-Thank you…for helping me" She said shyly. Heijiro smiled. "It's no problem…you needed help so I helped" He flashed a smile. Sakura looked at him and notice that he was a very cute boy. He was about the same height as Sakura, his skin was a little tan, he had long black hair (Like Neji's), grey eyes, and he wore a necklace around his neck it was a symbol of his village. Sakura blushed. Heijiro of course noticed the blush which made him blush as well.
"Well…I…um better getting going now Ja ne Sakura" He whispered as he ran to catch up with his brother.
"…Ja ne…" She whispered. When she turned around everyone was staring at her.
"W-What?" She stuttered. Naruto grinned while Hinata smiled and Sasuke made no type of expression.
"It seems you've got a crush on him" Naruto grinned. Sakura frowned as she walked towards Naruto and hit him on the head.
"Shut-up you don't know you're talking about" She said angrily. Naruto continued to grin while rubbing his head.
"Oh yeah I almost forgot" Naruto walked towards the man that he defeat which was still knocked out. He kicked him in the stomach but not hard.
"Wake up old man…we made a deal now tell me where the ninja is" Naruto said. The man slightly opened his eyes. "H-He's over there…in the hut" He said. Naruto smirked.
"Finally our mission is over with" He said. Everyone smiled.
They finally made it back to Konoha walking threw the gates. "HOME FINALLY" Naruto yelled. Sasuke hit him on the head. "Shut-up dobe" Naruto glared at Sasuke as he glared at him. Sasuke as been hitting him every since they rescued that male ninja because since then when Naruto called Hinata his Naruto has been more bold when it came to Hinata. His been holding her hand, putting his arm around her, trying to kiss her in front of him and sending death glares to Sasuke for trying to get close to her, while Hinata said nothing about Naruto change towards her. Basically Sasuke has been jealous because Hinata has been paying Naruto more attention more than him and he didn't like it one bit.
As they walked inside Tsunade's office she told them that they did a good job on their mission. And the four were rewarded.
As they all walked out of her office Sasuke turned towards Hinata to talk to her but as usual Naruto beat him to it.
"Hinata-chan I was…wondering if you would want to hang out? I mean if you want to that is" Naruto asked while blushing. Sasuke glared at Naruto hoping that Hinata would turn him down but knowing her she wouldn't.
"Sure" She replied. Sasuke frowned. He was getting angry, he wanted Hinata to at least look at him, which she hasn't done yet since they got back because the dobe as he says it has been her main focus. It's like she doesn't even like Sasuke anymore since Naruto said that one little word. He wanted to tell her off so bad, he wanted to tell her how he felt but couldn't because he knew that his temper that he has would only hurt her if he did say something to her.
As both Naruto and Hinata turned to walk away Sasuke watched as she left with him. Sakura looked at Sasuke and knew that he was hurt just by looking at his expression.
"…Sasuke-kun…"
"Just leave me alone" He said in a cold tone as he walked away. Sakura looked at Sasuke as left.
"So Hinata-chan I was thinking that maybe we could go to-"Naruto stop talking when he noticed Hinata's expression. "What's wrong Hinata-chan?" He asked. Hinata looked down.
"S-Sasuke-kun…he's mad at me" She said sadly. Naruto frowned at the mere mention of his name. "How do you know he's mad at you" He asked.
"The way he looks me…I can tell" She says. Naruto looks at her and knows that Sasuke was just jealous because Hinata has been more him more attention than him. Apart of him was happy because he thought maybe Sasuke would give up on Hinata but the other part felt guilty because he kept Hinata away from Sasuke and it's his fault that she's sad right now.
"Listen Hinata-chan if you want…we can hang out later" He said while not looking at her. "Why d-do you say that Naruto-kun" She asked being confused to why he said that.
"No reason…you can go hang out with Sasuke-no-baka and then later we can hang out" He stated. Hinata looked at him, he still wasn't looking at her.
"Are you sure?" He nodded his head. "Go…I'll see you later" he turned his head and gave her that famous grin of his. She blushed as she nodded. She watched Naruto as he walked away. She turned looking around not knowing where Sasuke could be.
She starting walking and she finally spotted him. "S-Sasuke-kun" She said. He turned around partially shocked to see Hinata. He turned his head as he frowned.
"What do you want?" He asked. She stopped walking as she stared at him.
"Are you mad at me Sasuke-kun?" She asked. Sasuke never turned back around to meet her eyes but her voice really hit him. She sounded so sweet and innocent.
"Why?" He asked in a cold tone.
"Because y-you have been looking at me…t-the same way y-you use to look at me…and you ignore me" She says.
"You've been ignoring me as well" He replied. She knew at that moment that Sasuke was jealous because she's been spending more time with Naruto than him. She wasn't doing it on purpose, she has tried to talk with Sasuke on they're way back but every time she tried Naruto would grab her hand and sped ahead of everyone and start talking to her.
She walked towards Sasuke sitting right beside him. "I'm sorry if it seemed that way Sasuke-kun but…I really have tried to talk with you but Naruto-kun he-"
"You don't need to tell me I seen everything…" Hinata looked at him not saying a word.
"Why are you even here? Weren't you and the dobe going somewhere" Hinata shook her head. "I want to spend time with you Sasuke-kun" She said honestly. Sasuke looked at her with a shocked expression and a slight blush.
"Y-You what?" He asked. Hinata smiled as she looked at his expression.
"I want to spend time with you" She said while smiling. She touched his hand as she blushed. Sasuke looked at her hand as he held her hand while smiling at her.
"But first I have to go home" She said. Sasuke nodded his head as he stood up helping Hinata up as they both walked hand in hand.
As they were both walking Hinata spotted Neji walking towards her. He eyed both Hinata and Sasuke.
"Hinata-sama"
"Neji-niisan" Sasuke looked at the two not saying a word. He had heard about the fight between the two during the Chunnin exams and knew that Neji tried to kill her from what Naruto and Sakura had told him.
Neji looked at Hinata's hand looped inside his. He looked back up at Sasuke and narrowed his eyes before walking away. Hinata lowered her gaze.
"Are you and Neji…um close?" He asked.
"Not like we use to be…but he slowly trying to gain the relationship that we use to have when we were younger" She said. Sasuke looked at her for awhile before turning his gaze.
"Well I'll be right back…can you wait out here?" She asked. He nodded his head.
As she walked inside the Hyuuga manor she was greeted by her father. He was staring at her hard which was making her nervous like she did something wrong.
"What are you doing with the Uchiha?" He asked in a stern voice.
"H-He's m-my friend and-"
"From what I see it looks like your more than that, you two were holding hands…do you care to explain?" He glared at his daughter.
Hinata didn't know what to say to him, she couldn't tell her father that she liked him. Hiashi walked towards the door and opened it looking at the Uchiha before him. Sasuke looked at him in shock but remained calm as if nothing was wrong.
"You are not permitted to see my daughter anymore" He stated before slamming the door.
"F-Father…b-but S-Sasuke-kun-"
"I do not care I will not allow you to see him end of discussion" He stated before walking away. "And don't not open that door" he said knowing that Sasuke was probably still standing there.
Hinata ran up to her room and closed the door and walked towards her window and looked down to see if Sasuke was still there. She had made it just in time because he was just turning around to leave.
"Sasuke-kun" She whispered hoping that he can hear her. Sasuke looked up and saw Hinata looking down at him. He looked at her and noticed that her eyes held sadness.
Sasuke looked at a nearby tree and jumped up into it and jumped towards Hinata's bedroom window.
"M-My father said that…I cannot see you anymore" She whispered as she looked away from Sasuke. He remained quiet not knowing what to say to her.
"Sasuke-kun…I don't want to be away from you" She confessed as she looked at him. The mere thought of not seeing Sasuke anymore hurt her and brought tears to her eyes.
He was shocked to see her cry over the fact that she can't see him anymore. He thought that she'll be just fine with it since she likes Naruto as well and could see him anytime.
Sasuke held Hinata in his arms as he rubbed her back. "Don't cry Hinata-chan…we can see each other don't worry" Hinata shook her head. "No we can't…father will have people watching making sure that I don't see you" She stated.
"Well I could just visit you here" He stated while blushing. "No one will know" Hinata looked at him. "H-Here…in my room?" She asked. Sasuke nodded.
"Yeah…I'll come everyday just to see you…I promise" He said and without thinking he leaned forward and kiss her on the lips. Hinata was shock by the kiss as was Sasuke as he leaned back and looked at her.
"…Sorry…" He mumbled while looking away from her.
"It's okay…"She's whispered as she smiled. Sasuke looked at her as he blushed. She was so beautiful to him and he wanted so badly to ask her to be his girlfriend but he was too nervous to say anything to her about that. He knew that Naruto liked her and would asked her whenever he had the chance to and then there was that ninja Asano who he hoped that he'll never have to see again. He continued staring at her features, he noticed how flawless her skin was and her eyes to how pretty her smile is. He blushed once more before turning his head.
"Sasuke-kun…there will be nothing for us to do in here when you do come" Sasuke eyed her while not saying anything if he were a pervert he would have made some smart remark about being alone in her bedroom with her but instead…
"We could talk…to get to know each other a little better" He stated as he mentally kicked himself for saying something like that. Hinata looked up at him blushing.
"Sasuke-kun in my room…what could I say…it might be awkward" She thought while looking away.
"So are you going to let me come inside?" He asked. He was still sitting on her window sill while she stood between his legs while he not knowing that he was still holding her in his arms.
"Hai…" She said as she moved out of the way to let him come in. Before Sasuke came inside he took of his shoes and then he walked towards Hinata. It became very awkward for him since he was inside a girls bedroom and not just any girl he was inside Hinata's room the girl that he likes. He began to blush as he looked down at the floor.
"Sasuke-kun do you think you'll ever like someone like Sakura-san?" She asked. Sasuke gave her an odd look before turning his head.
"Why'd you ask me that?"
"Well I was just wondering…Sakura-san really likes you and I was just wondering what you think about her?"
"She's annoying and loud what else can I say"
"Do you think she's at least pretty?" She didn't know why she was asking him about Sakura. She just wanted to know what he thought about her.
Sasuke eyed her for awhile before answering. "She looks okay…" Sasuke blushed as he looked away from Hinata. "…But I think you're prettier…" He whispered. Hinata looked at him and smiled. Although Sasuke can be really mean at times and could come off as an arrogant jerk he was pretty sweet and kind when it came to her that is. Naruto was the same way kind, gentle, and caring. She honestly didn't know who to choose between and she knew that she would have to choose.
There was a long awkward silence since Sasuke told her that but the silence was broken when Hinata spoke. "Sasuke-kun…that time…back at the academy…" Hinata took a long pause before continuing.
"I heard about what happened…" Sasuke looked at her in surprise. He knew exactly what she was talking about.
"And…I'm sorry it happened…although I didn't know you I wanted to comfort y-you…because you looked so sad and…no one was not trying to help you or even ask you if you were okay…but I was too afraid to say anything to you because I thought you would just want to be alone…I do hope that you find the person that…killed them" Hinata said as she looked at him.
Sasuke was shock beyond reason by her words. No one has ever said anything like that to him before. And she was sincere with her words which made him feel warm inside.
"…It was Itachi…" He stated. Hinata looked at him.
"Itachi is my older brother…he's the one that killed them" Sasuke looked at Hinata to see her reaction which was one of shock.
"Y-your brother, but why?"
"To test his strength…but I'm going to find him and when I do…I'm going to kill him" He stated while clutching his fist. Hinata eyed him.
"I wish you luck…when you do go find him…because I know you can do it" She gave him a warm smile. Sasuke looked at her not saying a word but then he gave her a smile.
"Thank you…Hinata-chan…for your encouraging words" Hinata blushed as he looked away from him. "You're Welcome" She whispered. Sasuke looked at her as his eyes traveled to her lips. He leaned closer and closer towards her nearly inches away from her face while Hinata waited for him to kiss her.
"WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE"
Both Hinata froze as she turned around and Sasuke whole face turned red of embarrassment he didn't look up at the person.
"I thought I told you to stay away from him and here you are in YOUR room ALONE with him" He shouted as he glared at Hinata.
"I-I'm sorry father…I d-didn't mean t-to" Sasuke looked at Hinata, she looked terrified. He looked at her father…he could kill him if he wanted right now. Sasuke remained calm on the outside even though in the inside he was scared to death.
Hiashi glared at the Uchiha. "Come with me…I want to have a talk with you" He walked out of the room knowing that he would follow.
Sasuke looked at Hinata and notice she gave him a look. Sasuke looked at her one more time before following her father.
"Take a seat" He motioned for Sasuke to seat down across him. Sasuke sat down as he looked at the old man sitting across from him giving him direct eye contact.
"What is your relationship with my daughter?" Sasuke remain quiet for a few seconds. Hiashi getting impatient urged him to answer him.
"I'm going to ask you one more time…What is your relationship with my daughter?"
"I like her if that's what you mean" Sasuke said in a cold tone. Hiashi stared at the boy. No one has ever used that tone with him before but he said nothing about it.
"What were you thinking being in Hinata-sama room alone?"
"It was my idea not hers…" Is all he said.
"What were you planning on doing in there with her?" He asked.
"Talk what else could we do?" He said in a nonchalant tone. Hiashi frowned.
"A lot more and I do believe you know what I'm talking about"
Sasuke blushed but the blush faded as he looked away from him. "We're only twelve" He said in a matter of fact.
"I do not like you attitude Uchiha Sasuke and I don't like the idea of you being around my daughter I'd rather my daughter be around someone one better like that teammate of yours Uzumaki"
Hearing this made Sasuke furious. Someone like him couldn't be around Hinata but Naruto could be. "He thinks that Naruto of all people is better than me…he's an idiot and he's better than ME" Hiashi could tell he hit a nerve in the young boy but didn't seem to care that he did.
"Listen here old man Naruto isn't better than me, why would you would your daughter to be around someone as stupid as him? I'm much smarter and stronger and-"
"Say what you want Uchiha Sasuke but my decision is made and that's final…this discussion is over" He stood up as he looked at his other daughter who was also inside the room.
"Hanabi show Uchiha Sasuke to the door" Hanabi nodded. Sasuke glared at Hiashi as he too stood up.
"I don't need any help to the door I know where it is" He hissed as he glared at Hanabi as he walked out the room.
Hanabi frowned as she looked at the Uchiha. "…what a teme…" She mumbled.
Sasuke walked towards the front door he was beyond angry. He opened the front door and let himself out by slamming the door behind him. All he kept thinking about is how he said Naruto is better than him and how he's not allowed to see Hinata.
As he was walking out the Hyuuga manor he bumped into the Uzumaki. Naruto looked at him with an odd look. "What were you doing at Hinata's?" He asked.
"I don't have time to talk to you…I'm not in the mood" He glared at Naruto with his Sharingan activated. Naruto looked at him in shock.
"Did something happen between you and Hinata-chan" He asked. It was the first thing that came to his mind.
"Nothing happened now get out of my way dobe" He hissed.
"Oi whatever is your problem you don't have to take it out on me because I didn't do anything baka"
"Just get out of my way" He said as he pushed Naruto aside. Naruto glared at him for awhile. Whatever it was he sure was angry.
