A Love Triangle: Chapter Twenty three

Heading to the Suna: Pt. 1

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

It was the next morning and when Sasuke woke up Hinata wasn't inside the tent with him. He sat but and yawn but stopped when he heard giggling coming from outside. He frowned as he decided to walk out the tent.

"That's f-funny Sakura-chan" Hinata giggled as she then turned to Sasuke who was glaring at Sakura. "Ano Sasuke-kun you're awake" She smiled as she looked at him.

He then looked at her and nodded. "I'll be right back" He stated as he walked off into the deep forest.

Sakura looked at Hinata and then looked around. "Ne Hinata-chan have you seen Naruto-kun?" She asked. Hinata shook her head but then she looked ahead to see Naruto coming towards them.

"Baka! Where have you been?!" Sakura yelled out at him as she hit him on the head.

"Ow Sakura-chan that hurts…I was just taking a leak" He whined as he rubbed him head. She blushed of embarrassment as she looked away from him frowning.

"Baka…" She mumbled to herself as she looked away from him.

"So I how much long until we get to the Suna?" Naruto asked as he took a seat next to Hinata. Sakura looked at the map and looked back up at both Naruto and Hinata.

"Well…it should take us about three more days…that's only if we make no stops" She sighed as she looked up at the sun.

"It's so hot out here" She sighed as she wiped her forehead. Naruto nodded in an agreement as he took off his jacket.

"Yeah it is rather hot out. Just image how it'll be when we reach the sand village…" He sighed as he laid down on the ground.

He glanced over at Hinata who still wore her jacket. "Hinata-chan you're not hot?" He asked in a confused tone as he looked at her with one eyebrow up.

She shook her head. "Geez are you immune to this type of weather or something? To be truthfully honest Hinata-chan I never seen you without your jacket…only once and that was the day of my fight with Neji" He stated as he then sat up.

Hinata looked away from him and Sakura when they both started staring at her. "A-Ano I'm just not hot…that's all" She lied. She was burning up like crazy but she refused to take off her jacket fully well knowing that she was…well more developed than most girls her age and she was rather embarrassed by her size.

"Oh well…if you say so" Naruto shrugged. They all turned around when they heard a branch break. They all stood up quickly got into they're stances.

"What are you doing?" Sasuke asked in a bored tone as he looked at all of them taking on a fighting stance.

"Oh we thought you were an enemy" Naruto stated.

"How could I be an enemy baka? We're the only ones out here"

"But Naruto is right Sasuke-kun. There are other ninjas out there, who know maybe someone would want to pick a fight with us" Sakura stated. Naruto stuck out his tongue as he looked at Sasuke.

Sasuke grunted as he looked at Sakura before walking over towards Hinata placing his arm around her.

Naruto and Sakura gaped as they stared at the two. "What are you two staring at? Never seen a guy put his arm around his girlfriend before?" He snapped mainly glaring at Sakura.

Sakura noticed this and frowned. "Why are you looking at me like that?" She shouted at him which shocked everyone since no one has ever heard Sakura yell at Sasuke before.

"Because I feel like it. You have a problem with that Haruno" He hissed.

"Hey Sasuke what's your problem?! Why are you yelling at Sakura-chan?"

Sasuke grunted he turned his head away from everyone pouting like a little kid which made Hinata giggle. "Sasuke-kun you look so cute" She whispered so only he would hear her.

He blushed but still had the pout of his face. "I'm starting not to like her" He mumbled under his breath to Hinata.

Both Naruto and Sakura were both looking at Sasuke and Hinata wondering what they were saying but they couldn't hear them since they were talking so lowly.

"Who don't you like?" She whispered back. Sasuke looked up at glared at Sakura.

"I don't like Sakura…" He stated. Hinata eyes widened as she looked at him. "Why don't you?" She asked.

He looked away from her not wanting to tell her his reason since he knew that he was silly. "Well…she's taking you away from me?"

"N-Nani?" She said in a confused tone.

"You're spending too much time with her and not me…" He mumbled in a jealous tone. Hinata giggled at him causing him to frown.

"It's not funny!!" He snapped.

"Sasuke-kun we're girls…we talk. It's to be expected…you know"

"No I don't know. Look I'm a guy a guy that knows diddle squat when it comes to girls and all I know is I want to spend with you while we are on this mission but every time I try to even get near you Sakura comes and pulls you away from me…I don't like it" He admitted.

She smiled as she looked at him leaning forwards giving him a kiss on his cheek. "I find it rather cute that you're jealous Sasuke-kun" She giggled softly as she stood up.

He blushed as he looked at her walking towards Naruto and Sakura. "Well shall we get going now" She smiled at the two. They both nodded but looked back at Sasuke who seemed to be in a trance while blushing.

"Oi baka! Come on we're leaving snap out of it" Naruto yelled. Sasuke snapped out of it and glared at Naruto.

"I'm no baka…unlike some people I know" He mumbled but loud enough for Naruto to hear him. Naruto frowned as he started yelling at Sasuke.

Hinata smiled to herself as she looked at Sasuke smirking at the blonde. "It looks likes he enjoys picking with Naruto-kun…almost like Asano-kun like to annoy Sasuke-kun" She laughed at the thought causing Sakura to look at her.

"Hinata-chan…?"

"Ah it's nothing I was just thinking about something" She smiled at her. Sakura nodded as she looked at her.

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

The four have been walking non stop for about six hours so far and they were beat. Naruto and Hinata collapsed on the ground. "Can we rest for awhile? I'm tired. I can't even walk another foot"

"M-Me either" Hinata agreed as she panted from being out of breath and the heat. Sasuke and Sakura looked at the two and nodded seeing the condition that they were in.

"We'll stop" Sasuke stated as he walked towards both Naruto and Hinata. He looked at them and noticed how they're eyes continued to open and close like they were both going to faint any minute now.

"Oi Sakura hand me those water bottles" Sakura nodded as she went in the bag and dished out two water bottles and handed them to Sasuke.

"Here you go Sasuke-kun" She handed him the water bottles.

Sasuke took them as he unscrewed on and started to hold the bottle up for Hinata so she could drink the water.

"You do the same for Naruto" Sasuke stated as he glanced at Sakura before looking back down at his girlfriend. Sakura did as she was told to help Naruto.

Hinata looked at Sasuke smiling. "Arigatou Sasuke-kun…" He returned the smile with a grin. "It's nothing…besides I don't want my girlfriend fainting" He smiled as he looked at her.

"It's best if you take that jacket off Hinata-chan" Hinata eyes widened as she looked at him.

"N-Nani?! I don't need to" She stated while blushing.

Sasuke frowned as he looked at her. "Hinata I don't want you to faint because of the heat and that jacket your wearing it thick…and I know you're hot so take it off…now" He demanded as he looked at her in a serious way.

She sighed as she gave into her boyfriend. "Alright…" She huffed as she pouted. He smirked at her expression but noticed that she still wasn't taking off her jacket.

"Hinata-chan now!" He frowned.

"I'm too tired to move my arms…" She stated. He sighed as he rolled his eyes muttered the words 'lazy baka' under his breath as he helped her take off her jacket.

Sakura looked at the two couple in slight jealousy but shook her head and smiled. "I can't be jealous of them…Hinata-chan and I are becoming good friends and I don't want to end our new friendship over me being stupid…or rather doing or saying something stupid" She sighed as she looked back at Naruto who was choking on the water since she still had the bottle in his mouth squeezing all the water in his mouth.

"Ack! Sakura-chan are you trying to make me choke to death?" Naruto rubbed his neck as he looked at her frowning. Sakura laughed in a nervous way.

"Um…sorry about that my mind was elsewhere" She continued laughing. He pouted looking away as he then looked at Hinata and noticed at her jacket was off.

"H-Hinata…wow" He mumbled the last part as he stared at her. Sasuke noticed this unlike Hinata and became angry as he stood in front of her.

"Baka…what do you think you're looking at?" He snarled.

Naruto looked at him in a nervous way. "A-Ano…nothing" He smiled as he looked at him before looking away.

"Tch…it better be nothing" Sasuke grunted as he looked back at Hinata as he kneeled down in front of her. "Get on my back…if you're too tried to even take off your jacket you probably can't walk either…so get on" He stated with a slight blush.

She nodded as she climbed on his back noticing how Sakura and Naruto were looking at them. Sasuke grunted. "Tch what the hell are you staring at…come on let's coming moving" He said as he walked ahead of Naruto and Sakura.

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

As the three were walking Sasuke noted how Hinata has fallen asleep on his back. He smiled to himself as he was walking. "Hey look there is an inn" Sakura pointed out at the building ahead of them.

Sasuke and Naruto stopped walking as they looked up. "You said it'll take us three days to get to the Suna Sakura-chan but if we stop here it might take us longer" Naruto pointed out.

"It's fine let's just go there for the night and then we'll leave the first thing in the morning" Sasuke stated only saying this because he wanted Hinata to rest more comfortable.

They all nodded as they all walked towards the inn. When they arrived there the woman stated that she only had one room left but they all said that they'll take it.

When they were inside the room they all noticed that there was only one bed. They all looked around at each other.

"Well let's just let Hinata-chan and Sakura-chan have the bed while we take the floor" Naruto stated. Sasuke nodded as they all sat there things down.

"Well I can't wait to g-go to the Suna…" Hinata smiled while Sasuke made a grunt noise causing Naruto to snicker since he knew that he was jealous of Gaara.

"Tch…" He snorted as he sat down. As soon as Sasuke sat down there was a loud a long fart noise. Sakura, Hinata and Naruto all pause as they look at Sasuke. Sasuke was stiff as a board as he looked at them looking at him.

"A-Ano…S-Sasuke-kun" Hinata whimpered as she looked at him with wide eyes.

"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura looked at him with wide eyes.

Naruto stared at him in utter shock. "Dude did you just fart?" Naruto asked as he looked at Sasuke. The room was silent for a good twenty more seconds until…

"Ha-ha-ha that was SO funny" They all looked up to see…Asano? "Heh it's a whoopee cushion. Ha-ha-ha I got you good Sasuke-niisan" Asano laughed out loud holding on to his stomach.

Sasuke frowned as he stood up revealing the whoopee cushion as he looked back up at Asano who was still laughing. "Asano…" He hissed before punching him across the face.

Asano flew back into the wall but he was still laughing. "Man that was so funny" Asano laughed, even Hinata laughed much to Sasuke's embarrassment.

"How in the hell did you even get in here? And why are you here?" Sasuke glared at him while Naruto and Sakura were still speechless about the whole whoopee cushion ordeal.

"I followed you two. I'm rather surprised that none of you sensed me and how I got into here was Invisibility no jutsu. It's a jutsu that allows me to become invisible. So I was actually standing next to you guys when you all came inside" Asano smirked.

Sasuke growled as he looked at him. "So where are you all heading to?" He asked mainly looking at Sasuke and Hinata completely ignoring Sakura and Naruto.

"A-Ano to the Suna" Asano sighed.

"Oh to that hot place…maybe I shouldn't have come after all" Sasuke walked towards him and hit him on the head.

"No you shouldn't have come you're annoying" Asano smirked as he then wrapped his arm around Sasuke's shoulder while looking at Sakura and Naruto.

"He doesn't mean that Sasuke-niisan actually cares about his big brother a lot don't you?" Sakura and Naruto looked at each other before looking back at the two.

"A-Ano…Sasuke-kun and his brother don't get along at all" Sakura pointed out.

"Yeah Sasuke wants to kill him so how do they-"

"I'm talking about me bakas. Sasuke is like my little brother so that's what I call him and Sasuke considers me as his older brother…he even calls me-"

Sasuke pushed Asano away from him. "Alright that's enough let's just be quite" Sasuke stated as he glared at everyone in the room since they all were looking at him.

"What" He hissed out.

"Y-You called him Asano-aniki?" Naruto asked as he looked at Sasuke.

Sasuke turned his back on everyone as he shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah what's the problem with that?" He asked as he decided to walk towards Hinata as sit next to her.

"N-Nothing" Sakura stuttered. Asano looked at Sakura and slightly frowned.

"You!" He pointed angrily at her. "You haven't been causing any problems for Hinata-chan have you?" Hinata quickly ran towards Asano and cover his mouth before he could even think of saying something else.

"No-no Asano-kun Sakura-chan and I are very good friends now so please don't pester her" Hinata pleaded.

Asano sighed. "Alright…I won't…BUT if anyone one of you bother Sasuke-niisan or Hinata-chan I will-"

"Asano that is enough just shut up and sit down" Sasuke hissed.

"Roger that Sasuke" Asano than sat down as said no more.

Sakura and Naruto looked at Asano and then Sasuke. "So a-ano how is Heijiro-chan doing?"

"Ah he is doing just fine. I tried to hang out with the little brat but he was all like 'I'm going on a date with Ino-chan' and 'Baka just leave me alone' and other stuff so I beat him up a few times for calling me a baka and then I came decided to follow you two"

Everyone looked at Asano in silence. "What?" He state in a annoyed tone as he glared at everyone.

"It isn't anything Asano-kun" He nodded. "Well I'm tired so I'm going to sleep now" He got up and walks towards the lamp near the couch and laid down. "Goodnight" He said before cutting off the light.

"HEY!" Sasuke, Naruto, Hinata and Sakura shouted out at him. Sasuke got up and turned the light right back on.

"What the hell did you do that for?! Didn't you hear me I said goodnight and that means lights off!" Asano hissed as he turned the light back off.

Click

"Well none of us are tired yet"

"Who cares I am and I need my rest" He turned the light back off.

Click

"Leave it on baka"

Click

I'm not baka you're the baka, baka" Asano turned it back off.

Click

"ME?! You a baka"

Click

"Teme I'm not playing around leave this light OFF!"

Click

Click

Click

Click

"You guys if you don't stop the light will-"

The sound of the light bulb breaking (a/n: sorry don't know how to explain the sound effect)

"The light will break…" Hinata mumbled finishing the sentence that Naruto started.

"Baka no look you did!" Sasuke hissed in the dark.

Asano sighed. "Ah shut up and go to sleep grumpy" He stated only to feel a fist colliding with the back of his back. "I'll get you for the tomorrow Sasuke" He muttered before going to sleep.

"Tch…baka"

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

It was now the next day and the now five were in the breakfast hall in the inn. As they all were sitting down enjoying there meal a flirtatious girl walked towards the table with a group of her friends.

"Hi I'm-"

"Not interest" Sasuke stated as he glared at the girl. The girl looked slightly hurt but then decided to turn her attention to Naruto.

"Hi I'm Kagura, what's your name cutie?" She smiled in a flirty way at the blonde. Sakura and Hinata looked at Naruto to see what he would say or do but Naruto wasn't even paying the girl any attention since his mind was on the ramen noodles he was eating.

"Tch…pig" Kagura muttered as she then turned to Asano.

"So you're really cute you know that" She smiled at him. Sasuke slightly grunted; he was annoyed that this girl was disturbing them from eating.

"Yeah I hear that a lot" Asano smirked in an arrogant way. Kagura and her friends all laughed.

"Ah I'm sure you do cutie, you know if you were the alphabet I'll put 'U' and 'I' together" Sasuke. Sakura and Hinata rolled they're eyes at the girl pick up lines.

"Oh really" He smiled.

She nodded her head. "Yes I would" She blushed when she realized that Asano was leaning closer towards her.

"You know what I would do?" He whispered to her but loud enough for everyone to hear him. Sakura, Sasuke and Hinata all listened as well wanting to know what he was going to say.

"What?" Kagura asked in a flirty tone.

"I'd put 'F' and 'U' together…so fuck off stupid girl and leave our table alone" Asano hissed as he glared at the girl. Sakura, Sasuke and Hinata looked at Asano in shock even Naruto had stopped eating his ramen to stare at him.

"Why I never heard such a rude thing in my life!" Kagura said in shocked while all of her friends gasped.

"Well you did today so do as I said and leave" Asano hissed as he glared harder at the girl making the girl fear her life as she and her friends all ran. When they left Asano turned around and grinned at the four.

"So we are leaving after this, ne?" Asano asked like nothing just happened.
