A Love Triangle: Chapter Twenty four

Heading to the Suna: Pt. 2

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

As the five were walking in the small town Asano glared at all the girls that were looking at him. "Geez this place is annoying. Why do girls stare so much?" He huffed as he looked away from the giggling blushing girls.

"It's because they think you're cute" Sakura pointed out. Asano looked at her and frowned. "Well I want them to stop staring at me. Maybe if I transform into Naruto maybe they won't stare so much" He joked as he looked at Naruto who was fuming.

"Hey! What's that suppose to mean, baka?!" Naruto hissed out truly angered by his words.

"Relax I'm only kidding, geez don't you know a joke when you hear one?" Naruto blushed in embarrassment as he looked away from everyone pouting.

"I know a joke when I hear it" He mumbled. Hinata giggled while Sasuke shook his head.

"So when we get to the-"

"Hi cutie what's your name?" Asano groaned. "Every time they say that same line. What's with these girls anyway?" Asano glared at the girl that was trying to talk to Sasuke.

"My name isn't any of your business" He stated holding Hinata closer towards him to let the girl know that he was taken but it seemed like she wasn't paying Hinata any attention.

"Well my name is-"

"Don't bother he isn't interest in knowing your name and besides he has a girlfriend" The girl slightly frowned as she looked at Asano.

"I don't believe I was talking to you" She frowned as she walked towards him.

"I don't care who you were talking to I'm talking to you and I told you he is taken already so just go somewhere else and leave us alone. We are on a mission you know" Asano stated glaring at the girl.

The four looked at Asano. "We? He isn't even apart of the mission" Sakura thought as she looked at Asano.

"And what's with you girls coming out of nowhere trying to talk to guys? It's annoying don't girls have anything better to do than flirt with a guy that is obliviously not interested" Asano sighed earning a glare from Sakura since she was in that category once dealing with Sasuke.

The girl walked towards Asano and got in his face. "You're a teme so just shut up" She hissed.

Asano stared at the girl that was close in his face. "No I believe you need to shut-up and get out of my face. Ever heard of breath mints girly?" Everyone gasped while Naruto and Sasuke tried they're best not to laugh.

"P-Pardon me"

"Here…" Asano started fishing through his pockets as he pulled out some gum. "Take this you need it more than I do" He stated as he held his nose and back away from her.

"Geez I knew that people's breath can smell pretty bad at times but not smell not bad…it smells worst than the sewer"

"Asano!" Hinata and Sakura said in shock at his blunt words to the girl. He turned to look at them. "What? I'm only stated the truth" He stated as he turned back to see that the girl had tears in her eyes as she ran away from the group.

"Geez I knew that you were a jerk but that was just beyond you" Sakura stated. Asano shrugged but then he noticed Hinata giving him a disapproving look as well. He sighed as he looked away from Hinata.

"Look I didn't mean it in that way. I was only speaking the truth I didn't know that it would hurt her feelings. Wouldn't you want someone to tell you if you're breath smelled" He asked as he looked at Hinata and then Sakura. The next thing he knew both girls had ran after the other girl most likely to consol her.

Sasuke and Naruto both walked towards Asano while smirking. "That was really low what you said to that girl…but it was funny" Naruto started laughing. Sasuke smirked.

"Well I didn't know the girl was going to go and cry. If I did I wouldn't have said-"

"You still would have" Sasuke stated as he looked at the older teen.

Asano smirked as he closed his eyes. "Ah you know me too well niisan" Naruto looked back at Asano and then Sasuke and slightly frowned. He was slightly jealous that these two seem closer friends then what he was with Sasuke.

Asano notice the way Naruto was looking at him and noticed the look right away since he went through the same thing with his best friend when he was younger.

"Listen I well…I'm not trying to take any of your friends away from you okay…" He stated as he looked at Naruto. Naruto seemed shocked for a moment while Sasuke looked clueless sense he didn't know what Asano was talking about.

Naruto just grinned and nodded his head. "So friends…?" Asano asked as he extended his hand out to the blonde.

"Hai friends" Naruto took his hand and shook it.

"Ano…is there something that I'm missing here?" Sasuke asked only to be ignored by both Asano and Naruto.

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

Hours later Sakura or Hinata haven't spoken to Asano or anyone for that matter. Asano glanced back at Sakura talking to Hinata while giggling at something. He narrowed his eyes as he walked besides Sasuke.

"Oi don't you think it's strange that she's friends with Hinata-chan? I mean the girl didn't like Hinata at first now all of a sudden she's best friend with her? I find that rather odd and strange" Asano stated glancing back at the pink headed girl.

Sasuke shrugged his shoulders. "I don't think much about it…but it gets rather annoying at times" He mumbled but Asano heard him but decided not to say anything about it.

"I'm keeping my eye on you pink headed girl" Asano thought as he looked at Sakura who was smiling while talking to Hinata.

"So how long are you planning on following us?" Sakura asked as she looked at Asano. He frowned as he looked at her. "Look worry about yourself and not me. I'm here only for Hinata-chan and Sasuke-niisan not you, so don't talk to me asking me stupid questions" He glared at her.

"You Asano are getting on my last nerves" Asano looked at her and shrugged his shoulders.

"I can give a rat's ass how I'm making you feel. Listen and listen clearly pink headed girl I don't like you nor will I ever…maybe but not no time soon. You hit Hinata-chan something that yes was in the past but something that I will never forget. SO just stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours, you got that pinky" He snarled as he looked at her shocked face.

Asano looked back at Sasuke. "Well are we going to continue walking or are you all just going to stand there all day staring at me?" Asano started walking ahead of everyone. Sakura groaned.

"Now I really don't like that guy" She mumbled while Hinata giggled. "Asano-kun is really a good guy trust me, ne Sasuke-kun" Sasuke glanced over at Hinata and Sakura and smirked.

"Heh, the guy is annoying as hell but Hinata is right he is a good friend" Naruto looked at Sasuke and noticed how he was smiling which was new to him.

"Sasuke…" Sasuke looked at Naruto when he noticed him looking at him in shock.

"What is it dobe" He smirked as he walked towards Hinata and placed and arm around her shoulder. Naruto shook his head.

"It's nothing teme" He smirked back. Hinata looked at the two before looking ahead to see that Asano was way ahead of them.

"Come let's go before we lose Asano-kun"

"Tch who cares if we lost that baka, he isn't even apart of this mission and he acting like he is" Sasuke looked at Sakura and smirked as a thought crossed his mind but decided not to say anything seeing that Hinata had distracted him by holding his hand.

He blushed as he looked at her as he gave her hand a squeeze. "OI BAKA SLOW IT DOWN WILL YA" Naruto yelled out to Asano as he started running towards him.

"Those two will become good friends I bet you. I mean the two of them or annoying bakas" He smirked as he earned a punch in the arm by Hinata.

"Sasuke-kun!" He chuckled as he looked at her. Sakura watched the two not saying anything for the remainder or the day.

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

"Okay now let's see…we are getting much closer to the Suna, yes?" Asano asked as he looked at Hinata who nodded her head.

"It's about time we're getting closer, I'm tired of walking" Sasuke looked at him slightly frowning. "Well if you're so tired why don't you just transform into a bird like you did that one time" Naruto and Sakura looked at Asano, shocked to hear that he transform into a bird.

"I don't feel like it…my arms get tired" He sighed sadly. Sasuke and Hinata smirked as they looked at their best friend.

"You can transform into a bird?" Asano looked at Naruto and Sakura as if they were stupid. "Well of course I can! All ninjas should be able to transform into somebody or something" Asano stated as he looked at the two.

"W-Well yeah, of course I can transform into a bird and other things" Naruto stated while stuttering but then he smirked. "I'll prove it to you…Sexy no jutsu" Naruto stated as he transformed into the female Naruto.

"What do you think Asano?" The female Naruto asked as she blushed while looking at Asano. Sakura, Sasuke and Hinata all sighed as they looked at the scene in front of them.

Asano stared at the nude woman in front of him as he frowned. "What kind of technique is this? Does this help you distract your opponents? Will it won't work on me, one I'm not a pervert, two things like this don't distract me and three I know who is really doing this jutsu therefore is I fall it I would be considered gay since I know that it's really a male doing the jutsu and not a woman" Asano replied while closing his eyes with a know it all expression on his face.

Naruto huffed as he transformed back to his normal self as he frowned. Asano looked at him with a smirk on his face. "Che…" Sasuke grunted as he looked at the two males.

"Let's continue walking now" He stated as he grabbed Hinata's hand and began walking ahead of everyone. Sakura, Asano and Naruto all nodded as they started walking ahead as well.

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

Hinata was currently deep in thought as she was walking with Sasuke. Her thoughts were focused on a certain red head. She couldn't wait to see him that is if she did see him while being on this mission. After all it is his village that they are going to.

Sasuke on the other hand was thinking about beating up the red head. When he kissed Hinata right in front of him that day he was so shocked that he didn't even do anything about it. But now that they were going to his village he was defiantly going to give Gaara a piece of his mind. He smirked at the thought.

"So…" Asano said as he looked at everyone.

"So….what?" Sakura asked as she looked at slightly frowning. Asano gladly returned the frown as he looked at her.

"It's quiet…too quiet. Isn't anybody going to say something?" He asked as he looked around at everyone.

"He's right and I hate silence" Naruto stated as he looked around at everyone agreeing with Asano.

"Geez you two are just alike…annoying and can never shut-up and likes it when it's noisy all of the time" Sakura said as she looked at the two.

"Well it is too silent; can't someone say something to start a conversation?" Asano suggested as he looked at Sasuke who just looked away.

"It's better when you two aren't talking…" The Uchiha said as he looked at the two. Both Asano and Naruto glared at the raven haired ninja.

"WHAT'S THE SUPPOSE TO MEAN TEME?!" Both loud boys yelled at the Uchiha. Sasuke said nothing as he continued walking with Hinata right under his arm. Naruto and Asano glared at him back walking away.

"That teme! Who does he think he is" Asano snarled while Naruto nodded his head agreeing with Asano.

Sakura just sighed as she started pulling the two boys so that they can catch up with Sasuke and Hinata. "Come on you two" She muttered as she was pulling them by they're ears.

"Ow! Sakura-chan that hurts" Naruto whined.

"Let go of my ear you pink haired girl!" Asano hissed as he tried to free himself from her but couldn't. Sakura just smirked to herself ignoring both boys as she continued walking by dragging them by they're ears.

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

"So what do you plan on doing when Hinata-chan gets here? Temari asked as she looked down at her little brother. Gaara looked away from Temari so she couldn't see his blush appearing on his face at the mention of Hinata.

"What do you mean what do I plan on doing?" He asked as if he didn't know what she was talking about. Temari sighed as she rolled her eyes. "You know what I'm talking about Gaara so don't act like you don't know" Temari had a smirk on her face but her voice held sternness.

The red head sighed as he turned slightly to look at the blonde. "What I plan on doing is nothing…she has Sasuke now"

Temari grunted loudly. "Che…it sure didn't stop you when you kissed her before we left Konoha. Were you thinking then about how she has Sasuke?" Temari asked in a mocking tone.

Gaara sent her a glare but Temari ignored it. "I wasn't thinking straight then…"

"Sure you weren't. You wanted to kiss her didn't you?"

"Temari…you are starting to irk my nerves now" Gaara sent her the deadliest glare ever causing Temari to gulp as she back away from him.

"Um…well…I have to go" Temari stated the last part very quickly as she ran out the room. Gaara frowned to himself as he turned back to face the window.

"…Hinata…" He whispered to himself. He lied to Temari and he knew that she knew that he was lying when he said that he wasn't thinking straight when he kissed Hinata back then. He knew what he was doing and wanted to feel her lips on his once more. He blushed at what he was thinking about.

"I hope to see you…Hyuuga Hinata" He thought out loud to himself thinking about his first true friend.

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

"So that Gaara person lives in the Suna, right?" Asano asked noticing how Sasuke grunted at the word 'Gaara'.

"Yes, he lives there" Hinata replied. Asano nodded. "Hm…I see" He mumbled to himself. He had heard about Gaara before and had known that he was a very powerful person. He was to test Gaara's strength when they arrived in the Suna.

He smirked to himself as he started thinking about it. "What are you smirking about?" Sasuke asked as he looked over at the male that was like an older brother figure to him.

"Nothing…nothing at all" He stated with a suspicious look to his expression. Sasuke eyed him for a moment before looking away. He could tell just by Asano's expression that he was up to something and he wanted to know what it was.
