The Mission
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
It was now the next morning and Sasuke and Hinata were both already up. Asano watched they're every move the two made as they were getting ready for they're mission.
"You know you don't have to go to your mission" Asano stated as he looked at Sasuke and then Hinata. Sasuke smirked and said nothing while Hinata smiled at Asano.
"Asano-kun we have to go it's a mission"
"Yeah but…I'm going to be all lonely"
"You have your brother Heijiro" Sasuke stated as he started stuffing weapons in his bag.
"Yeah but-but he has Ino and I have you two" Both Hinata and Sasuke gave him an odd look. "You know what I mean I'm around you two all of the time and you're going to be gone for a week. What will I do?"
"Train…" Sasuke suggested as he walked towards the front door. Sasuke glanced over at Hinata. "Come on Hinata-chan we don't want to be late…"
"H-Hai…Ja ne Asano-kun" She smiled as she ran towards Sasuke. But before Hinata could go any further Asano latched himself on Hinata.
"Please don't leave me Hinata-chan and Sasuke-niisan. Don't leave" Sasuke grunted as he walked over towards him and hit in the head.
"Baka you're acting like a little kid. Grow up…we will be back in three days and I don't want to come home to find my place junky…you got that Asano-aniki?" Sasuke stated the last in a cold deadly tone.
Asano gulped as he back away from Sasuke. "H-Hai…I won't" He smiled in a nervous way as he looked away from him.
"Good…come on Hinata-chan" Sasuke stated as he walked out of the door. Hinata gave Asano a smile before running after Sasuke.
&&&&&&&&&&
Sasuke and Hinata made it to see Naruto and Sakura standing off waiting for them. Sakura blushed when she saw him. "Ohayo Sasuke-kun" She smiled brightly at him.
"Hn" Hinata slightly giggled causing Sakura to pout and turn away from everyone. Naruto just smiled as he looked at his friends.
"Well where are we going?" Sasuke asked as he looked at Naruto and then Sakura.
"Right…we are going to the Sand village to retrieve something for Hokage-sama" Hinata smiled seeing that she'll get to see Gaara while Sasuke frowned.
"The sand village?!" He stated in a some what shocked tone. Everyone seemed to notice his tone and stared at him in shock. He glared at everyone even Hinata.
"What the hell are you all looking at?" He was pissed off that they were going there. Seeing that the last time he saw Gaara he kissed his girlfriend. When he sees Gaara and if he does see him while they are in the sand village he is going to kill him.
He started to smile in devious and evil way as he started to chuckle causing Sakura, Naruto and Hinata to stare at Sasuke like he was crazy.
"Is he okay Hinata?" Sakura whispered to Hinata.
"Who knows…I wonder about him myself sometimes" Hinata whispered back as she looked at her boyfriend who started laughing out in a evil way scaring Naruto who was hiding behind Hinata.
&&&&&&&&&
As the four were walking it was very silent way too silent for the loud mouth blonde. "So Asano is staying with you huh? How is that going for you?"
"It's okay…he was annoying at first but I can deal with him now" Naruto gaped as he looked at him.
"So it's really true Asano is living there huh?" Sasuke nodded as he grabbed Hinata's hand to hold it without realizing he had did it. Naruto and Sakura noticed this but said nothing. While Hinata who was so use to holding his hand made no reaction to it.
"Yeah…the baka didn't want us to leave" Sasuke smirked. "He is one of the most powerful ninja's that I have ever seen but he can act like a big baby" He chuckled a bit causing Sakura and Naruto to stop walking and look at him.
"Sasuke-kun are you okay?"
"Yeah Sakura-chan is right. You have been acting strange lately" Naruto gave him an odd look. Sasuke stopped walking as well as he turned to look at them both.
"What are you talking about? I'm acting as I always do" He frowned.
"No now you're acting like you always do" Naruto pointed out. Sasuke frowned. "Baka…let's just continue walking so we can go to this village…I have something that I need to do when I get there dealing with that spook"
When Naruto heard this he grinned mischievously. "Ah I get it now…heh" Hinata and Sakura looked at the blonde. Sasuke turned slightly to look at Naruto as he smirked.
He knew that Naruto knew he was talking about dealing with Gaara since he kissed Hinata and right in front of him none the less.
&&&&&&&&&
"So cute Hinata is coming to our village" Kankurou asked earning a hit in the Temari by Temari. "What's wrong with you baka?" She hissed as she glared at him.
"What?" I don't see what the problem of saying that she's cute…even Gaara knows that right Gaara?" He grinned a sly grin.
Gaara ignored him as he walked out the room. The face paint ninja sighed. "Jeez he's always ignoring me…" Temari sighs as she too walks out the room.
"That's right Hinata is coming over this way…" The red head thought as he was walking. A flash of him kissing Hinata flashed through his mind causing him to stop walking.
"…Hinata…" He whispered to himself as a blush crept across his cheeks.
"Whoa Gaara are y-you blushing?!" The shocked blonde asked. Gaara looked at Temari and glared at her before walking off.
Temari snickered. "He looked embarrassed that I caught him…"
&&&&&&&&
As the four were walking a smile appeared on Naruto's face. "Brings back memories huh? The four of us were all just on a mission together almost months ago and here we are once again together" Naruto stated.
"Yeah the only thing that is different Sasuke and Hinata are now dating" Sakura said with a smile. Hinata and Sasuke blushed as they glance at each other before looking away from each other.
"Alright now we are not here to talk about my relationship with Hinata we are here for a mission" Sasuke stated in a stern tone. Sakura and Hinata giggled at Sasuke since he had the biggest blush on his face more so than Hinata.
"Sasuke is right come on let's continue walking" Naruto stated as he started walking. Sakura and Hinata nodded as they both walked behind Sasuke and Naruto.
Sakura glanced over at Hinata. "Ano Hinata-san…?" Hinata glanced over at Sakura. "Um…listen I just want to say that I'm sorry…I'm sorry for well you know how I've been acting when I'm around Sasuke-kun. I fully understand that he is with you now and I have to teach myself to let go of him…because I would like to become your friend and I don't want my jealousy of you being with Sasuke get in the way of us being friends" She stated in honesty.
Hinata looked at Sakura as she smiled. "H-Hai…Sakura-chan I would love to be your friend" Sakura smiled at the Hyuuga.
&&&&&&&
Naruto glanced back when they heard Sakura and Hinata giggling about something. Sasuke also looked at the two girls.
"What's so funny?" He asked raising his eyebrow to look at them.
Sakura giggling some more. "Ah it's nothing Sasuke-kun…" She continued giggling.
"Sakura-chan is right nothing is funny" The two girls looked at each other and started laughing once again. Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other in a confused way.
"What's with them?" Naruto asked.
"Who knows…I will never understand girls" Sasuke mumbled as he sighed.
&&&&&&&&&&
It was now 1 o'clock in the afternoon and ever since Hinata and Sakura started talking the two have been inseparable like they were best friends or something. Sasuke and Naruto watched the two walk ahead of them.
"Jeez just a few days ago Sakura-chan couldn't stand Hinata since she's dating you and now she's acting as if Hinata is her best friend" Naruto sighed. Sasuke nodded as he agreed with the blonde.
"So maybe when this mission is over we can hang out and maybe go shopping or something" Sakura stated in a cherry tone. Hinata smiled as she nodded her head.
"You know Hinata-chan being friends with you isn't so bad…I actually enjoy talking with you" Sakura grinned. Hinata nodded.
"M-Me too Sakura-chan" Sakura glanced back at Sasuke causing him to arch an eyebrow.
"Ne Hinata-chan is there anything about Sasuke-kun that you find annoying" Sakura asked. Sasuke eyes widened as did Naruto as he looked at Sakura. They all looked at Hinata.
"A-Ano…well I don't like it when he goes… 'hn' or 'Che'" She said Sasuke favorite words to say. "It g-gets really annoying…a simple yes or no would be better" Hinata giggled.
"I know that's the one thing that I hate about Sasuke too" The two girls started laughing while Sasuke frowned. Naruto snickered.
"Well you do say that a lot Sasuke" Sasuke gave Naruto a glare.
"Hey look there is a curry shop let's go get something to eat" Sakura stated as she pulled Hinata's arm as the two girl left Sasuke and Naruto.
"Aw no ramen stand…I guess curry is okay to eat for now" Naruto pouted as he followed Sakura and Hinata along with Sasuke.
&&&&&&&&&&
When they arrived there and the four were sitting down eating Sasuke tried to sit next to Hinata but Sakura beat him to the seat and started talking to Hinata. He glared at the pink haired girl but said nothing as he just sat next to Naruto.
Naruto noticed him glaring at Sakura but he said nothing of it. "So when you see Gaara I bet that you have a few words for him" Naruto smirked.
"You bet I do…that teme kissed my girlfriend. When I see him…" Sasuke started cracking his knuckles. "He will pay" Naruto just sighed as shook his head.
"So Gaara kissed you?" Sakura asked as she gasped. Hinata nodded as she looked at her while blushing.
"What did Sasuke-kun do?" Hinata shook her head as she started to giggle.
"Sasuke-kun just stood there with his mouth open…he was really shocked that Gaara-kun did that" Sakura smiled a she chuckled.
"That's not like Sasuke-kun to just stand there and not do nothing. Heh…I wish I was there to see that" Sasuke listened in on Sakura and Hinata's conversation as he frowned.
"So Gaara is an old friend of yours?" Hinata nodded.
"Yes he is…yes he is…" She smiled as she started to think about Gaara. Sakura eyed her as she looked down at Sasuke to see that he was listening to what they were talking about. Sakura stood up as she grabbed Hinata arm.
"Come here Hinata-chan I have to ask you something"
"D-Demo you can ask me here"
"No we have some nosy listener try to listen in our conversation" She stated clearly talking about Sasuke. He scoffed as he looked away from both girls.
"Tch…"
Hinata nudged Sakura. "The annoying grunting noise" She whispered. They both looked at Sasuke and started giggling before walking away.
Sasuke looked pissed as he watched them walk off. Naruto just snickered as he looked at Sasuke's expression.
"Jeez Sasuke relax they are girls…they act like that you know" Sasuke glared at Naruto.
"No I don't know…I'm clueless when it comes to girls" He admitted as he looked at Naruto while frowning. Naruto sighed.
"Well I'll teach you a little about-"
"I don't need you of all people to teach me about girls…I'll find out on my own" He mumbled. Naruto grinned as he started laughing.
"Sure you will…Sasuke" Sasuke growled as he looked away from Naruto.
&&&&&&&&&&
"So…do you like Gaara or something Hinata-chan? I mean you can tell me I won't tell Sasuke-kun I promise" She stated honestly.
"No…I mean…it may be a crush but I'm with Sasuke-kun and I would never cheat on him" She said. Sakura nodded.
"Hm…well I don't know what you see in Gaara but well whatever that's you I guess" She shrugged her shoulders.
"So what about you Sakura-chan who do you like?" She asked. The pink head girl blushed. "W-Well I did like Heijiro-kun…but well he has Ino-chan now" She whispered.
"Well is there anyone else?" Hinata asked while smiling. She watched as Sakura shook her head.
"Well don't worry I'm sure that you'll find someone" The Hyuuga girl stated. Sakura smiled weakly.
"Arigatou Hinata-chan"
"Come on you two let's go" Sasuke yelled out to the two. They both nodded as they ran to catch up to the two boys.
As they were walking it was a silent silence which was irking Naruto to death. "Uh can someone say anything this silence is bothersome"
"You just said something" Sasuke stated with a smirk.
"No not like that…like can someone start a conversation" Naruto yelled out in frustration.
"Well…I mean what could we talk about Naruto jeez its better being quiet like this. Just because you're a loud mouth who doesn't like it when it peaceful doesn't mean that others want to talk" Sakura frowned.
Naruto pouted. "But Sakura-chan….I want to talk" He whined.
"Baka you talking now aren't you" She yelled as she hit him on the head. Hinata giggled causing Sasuke to glance over at her. When they made eye contact with each other they both blushed as they looked away from each other.
Sasuke looked from the corner of his eye to find Hinata doing to same looking at him. He grinned as he walked towards her to talk to her but before he could even get close to her Sakura came.
"Ne Hinata-chan…." Sasuke frowned as he watched Sakura take Hinata away and start talking to her.
"Hey Sasuke what's the matter with you?" Naruto asked only receiving a glare as an answer.
&&&&&&&&&&
Night fall finally drew in and the four were now setting up they're tents. Hinata being the only one who seemed to have forgot her tent stood off by herself as she watched the other three putting up they're tents.
Sasuke glanced over at Hinata. "Where is your tent? Didn't you bring one?" She shook her head causing him to sigh.
"Why?"
"Well I assumed that it'll b-be like last time when we were in that hotel and then when we were in that hut" She looked down at the ground feeling embarrassed.
"Well you always bring one just in case Hinata" Sasuke stated but in Hinata's ears it sounded like he was scolding her.
"Hinata-chan you can stay in my tent that way we can talk about-"
"She'll be staying with me" Sasuke stated as he looked over at Sakura. Sakura, Naruto and Hinata gasped.
"A-Ano…S-Sasuke-"
"You're staying with me and that's final" He glared at Sakura who was taken back by the glare. Sasuke grabbed Hinata's hand and went inside his tent.
Both Naruto and Sakura looked at each other.
"What was that all about?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know…"
&&&&&&&&&
"Sasuke-kun why did you do that? I mean it's going to awkward to be in here with-"
"Look it won't be okay…just be quite okay" He said in a calm tone. She looked at him and said nothing.
"I-I have to change into my pajam-"
"You can change in here…I won't look I'll just turn around" He stated as he turned around to show that he was being serious. She blushed as she looked at his back.
"C-Change…w-with you i-in here?" He turned slightly to look at her since he knew that she hadn't changed yet.
"Do you want me to look at you?" He asked earning a slap on his back.
"Sasuke-kun!" She yelped in shock. He chuckled.
"I'm only kidding Hinata-chan…now change I won't look I promise…hime" He smirked as he turned around.
She still had a blush on her but she nodded as started to change into her clothes. When she was finished she crawled over towards Sasuke and put her arms around him causing him to blush.
"I'm finished now…" She whispered in his ear. He felt the heat rise to his face. He slowly turned around to found her smiling at him.
"H-Hinata…I-"Before he could even finish his sentence her lips collided with his. He kissed her back as he raised his hand to caress her cheek as he was kissing her. When they pulled away from each other Sasuke smiled as he looked at her.
"I'm so lucky" He stated causing her to blush and giggle.
"And so am I" She smiled as she buried her face on his chest due to her blushing so much. He chuckled as he placed his hand on top of her head.
"Come Hinata-chan let's go to sleep now…we have a long road ahead of us until we get the sand village" He stated.
She pulled away from him as she nodded. She watched him as he took off his shirt. He glanced down at her while smirking.
"No fair you get to look at me but I can't look at you" He teased as he watched her turn red as bury her face in the pillow. He chuckled as he laid down right next to her.
"You're funny Hinata-chan" He smiled as he closed his eyes feeling the sleep coming to him. "Y-You're…funny…." He whispered softly as he then went to sleep. Hinata smiled as she ruffled his hair softly as she kissed him on his forehead.
"Sasuke-kun…." She smiled before going to sleep herself.
