Champylin: Thank you for your reviews n.n And to answer your question, I deleted the previous chapters. It was a total of 36 chapters I believe. Chances of me re-editing the later chapters, I probably won't and I would just upload them. But as far as uploading the original, this one isn't much different than the original, the only changed are a few words that's all lol xD But thanks for your review.

DarkAssassin15: Awe, thank you that made me smile. I've been trying to catch my grammar errors. Sometimes I don't see them, despite me re-reading it over, I still manage to miss something lol

rain-dancer: Lol, true, true. I hope that you enjoy this chapter n.n

Seichi: Yes, I thought it would be a god idea to have Hinata win the match because I plan on having her in the exams xD For this revised version, I wasn't going to have Naruto cheer Sakura, but I decided to keep that in there. And this is a SasuHina story but there will be GaaHina moments along with NaruHina and even KakaHina; but the KakashixHinata moments aren't serious, and those parts aren't until when Hinata turns sixteen in the later chapters that are already done xD There is also a OCxHinata. That OC is someone most of my old reviewers loved lol Maybe you guys might like him too n.n

jamisa27: Thanks for your review

BlackWerewolfOfPurpleRoses: xDD lol thanks for your review

Chapter 5 – In the hospital

The blonde haired male had felt terrible for cheering for Sakura during the preliminaries. He had no idea why he had even done it in the first place, but he knew that he made a complete ass of himself not only in front of his team but everyone who was in the room. Currently he decided to visit the female Hyuga; he just had to apologize to her. Stopping in front of the room he knew she resided in, he took in a deep breath and knocked on the door lightly.

"W-Who is it?"

"I-It's me Hinata…Naruto" He stated. She remained quiet for awhile making him think that she wasn't going to let him in. He wouldn't blame her if she didn't want him to come in.

"Come in" His eyes widened in surprise, that was something that he clearly wasn't expecting, but then again this is Hinata that you're dealing with, she's a sweet kind girl There was no way she would treat him badly like Sakura would. Sliding back the door he came in wearing a very awkward facial expression. His eyes narrowed, looking off to the side as he made his way towards the chair that was beside her bedside.

"Look Hinata…I'm really sorry that I didn't cheer for you. It was really wrong of me and very immature thing to do. You're someone who didn't deserve that" He said quietly. His eyes slowly gazed over at her noticing that she was staring at him blankly for a few moments.

Hinata; who had forgot all about that suddenly remembers the incident and looks away from Naruto, pressing her lips tightly, remaining silent. Naruto notices the awkward silence and thought that Hinata was still hurt by it, he attempted to say something but Hinata began talking before he even had a chance to. "I-It's o-okay Naruto-kun…you don't need to say sorry"

Looking at her facial expression as she spoke those words he could that she was still hurt by it. He clenched onto his fist, his heart was throbbing in guilt. He turned his head when he heard the door slide open once more, his brows ceased down to a frown when he noticed who it was coming inside.

"It's not okay, Naruto should know better than to go and do something like that" His voice was deep and held no emotion as he spoke, his dark eyes gazing over at both Hinata and Naruto. He strolled over towards the end of the bed, looking away from Hinata his gaze turned to Naruto when he heard his raspy voice.

"I told her that I was sorry and she accepted my apology." Naruto grimaced at the jet black haired male. At times he couldn't stand Sasuke, he always acted to cool and laid back, which made most of the female population in Konoha adore him.

Sasuke on the other hand completely ignored Naruto, turning his head he glanced back over at Hinata walking from around the end of her bed around to the opposite side Naruto was sitting as he sits his kunai on the nightstand by her bedside. "Are you doing okay?" His voice held a hint of concern which took Naruto and Hinata by a surprise. The male Uchiha pretended as if he didn't notice the gasp that escaped her lips when he asked. "Do I really appear to be that cold-hearted as to not care about my teammates?" He thought to himself with an inward sigh of annoyance.

"I'm fine," She paused briefly, looking down at the sheets that were covering her legs as her cheeks began to redden, "I want to thank you for your encouraging words. I-If it weren't for you I wouldn't have gotten up, I would have lost that match" She lifted up her head, her lavender-grey eyes gazing into his dark mysterious eyes, judging how silent he was being she figured that he wouldn't respond to what she just said which caused her to pout..

A very awkward silence engulfed the room, Naruto shifted in his chair which created from odd farting noises causing Hinata and Sasuke to snap their heads at the blonde. Naruto laughed nervously stating that it was the chair and not him. Hinata let out a small smile and a giggle as she then parted her lips, "They're letting me stay over night just in case"

The silence was still ensue which was really starting to bug the blonde as he bit down on his bottom lip. "If you like Hinata, I could keep you company"

This made the female Hyuga blush like there was no tomorrow, just with the single thought of Naruto staying with her and watching over her, it brought shivers to her spine. Before she could even give him a reply, Sasuke had beaten her to it.

"You should let Hinata rest and just come back tomorrow" He stated as he gazed over at Naruto. He wasn't really sure just why he even cared to say that but he escaped his lips before he even had enough time to stop it. Looking over at Hinata she noticed how she looked a little disappointed and even had the audacity to give him a look that read 'why did you have to say that'. But the Uchiha on the other hand ignored the look.

"Alright I'll just come tomorrow when you get to go home" Hinata blushes as she nods her head. She watched as both of her teammates walk out the room. As soon as they leave in enters Neji. She was shocked to see Neji inside her room.

"N-Neji-niisan" Feared embezzled her soul as she stared at the male Hyuga; he wasn't the same guy that he used to be in the past due to his father's death.

The stoic male stared at her with an expressionless expression. "Why didn't you just give up when that girl was winning?" He asked in a darkened but yet confused tone.

"I-I-I didn't want to lose in front of the person that I admire" She said as she blushed at the thought of Naruto.

Neji folded his arms across his chest, his eyes narrowing at the smaller girl, "To be honest I'm quiet shocked that you even won, you being the weakest Hyuuga member. You may be able to defeat that girl but you wouldn't have a chance if it were me that you were fighting" Staring into her eyes he could easily sense the fear and how nervous she was with him being in the room. He turned his head away from her when he noticed someone was coming into the room, narrowing his eyes in annoyance he looked at the male coming into the room.

"I forgot my kunai and-"The male Uchiha stopped speaking once he noticed that Hinata wasn't alone in the small room, his dark eyes latched onto Neji's, narrowing them slightly. He knew of the Hyuga clan but at the moment those thoughts weren't really processing in his mind. "What is he doing in here in Hinata's room?" Noticing the frightening look that was consuming her face, the Uchiha frown while directing his eyes back over at Neji. "What did you do to her?" His voice was showing just how concerned he was.

Neji looks at Sasuke. "What's between Hinata-sama and I is no one's concern but ours" he then takes one more look at Hinata before leaving. Sasuke looks at Hinata as he walks towards her.

"What was all that about?" He asked. She doesn't say anything as she starts fiddling with her fingers thinking about how intimidating Neji can be.

Sasuke walks towards Hinata. "Are you okay?" He asked her.

"I'm fine…what are you doing back here?" She asked.

"I forgot my kunai" He stated as he picked it up. She says 'oh' and notices as Sasuke was staring at her which made her blush. "Is something the matter" She asked while looking away from him.

"It's nothing…I'll see you tomorrow" He stated as he walked out of the room.

xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx

As Sasuke was walking he couldn't stop thinking about what Neji and Hinata could have going on. "I'll just ask her tomorrow" He thought to himself.

It was a bright sunny day the following day, the blonde decided to visit his teammate again. Despite him apologizing to Hinata the previous day he still felt bad, the guilt was weighing down on him and the fact that Kakashi pulled him aside later that day to give him a speech about it, didn't make it any better. Naruto finally made it to Hinata's hospital room, but suddenly stopped in his tracks when he noticed that Sasuke was also in the room, standing beside Hinata's bedside.

"H-Hello N-Naruto-kun" The female Hyuga smile softly at the male; her eyes showing nothing but kindness which made Naruto weak to his knees. In his eyes she really did have a very beautiful smile. He was staring so much at her that he didn't realize that he was blushing, until Sasuke coughed snapping him out of his trance.

Glancing away from Naruto and focused his gaze on the female Hyuga; who was currently straightening out her shirt. Clearing his throat, he parted his lips to speak, "Hinata, do you and Neji have some type of connections?" He asked curiously.

Hearing this of course caused the blonde to burst into fits of laughter. Both Uchiha and Hyuga stared at him oddly, wondering what he was laughing at until Sasuke frown deeply growing annoyed by his laughing. "What in the hell is so funny? He growled lowly.

"Heh, I thought you were the so-called genius. I guess that isn't all so true" He continued to chuckle lowly to himself while holding to the side of his stomach.

Sasuke's eyebrow began twitching wildly. It wasn't sitting with him too well that Naruto was laughing at him of all people. "What's that suppose to mean?" He hissed.

"I may not be as smart when it comes to understanding clans but even I know that Hinata and Neji are from the same clan. Can't you tell when you look at their eyes?" Naruto snickered.

Sasuke thought over Naruto words, thinking back to the encounter he had with Neji. During the time he was thinking about it but he quickly dismissed the thought, since his mind was more on why the intruder was making Hinata uncomfortable. Looking over at Hinata, he noticed that she was nodding her head.

"I just made myself look like a complete idiot." He sighed to himself; his facial expression was clearly one of embarrassment.

"Y-Yes, it's true. Neji-niisan is my cousin…but we're not so close anymore" She explained, casting her gaze to the floor. She missed the past, she shared so many fond memories with Neji and would do anything to get that back. But after his father's death, things changed…

Naruto noticing her sudden change in demeanor, put on a concerned but yet curious expression as he parted his lips hesitantly, "If you don't mind me asking, why aren't you two close anymore?"

She remained silent for a few seconds until she finally looked up at the blonde, "I really don't feel like talking about it" She stated honestly. After hearing her say this both males knew not to pressure her anymore about it, seeing how it must be a private family matter. Silence surrounded the three until Naruto broke the silence stating that they should all get going since Hinata was being released.

As the three were walking Sasuke kept glancing over at Hinata, of course this did not go unnoticed by Naruto. Sasuke was the type who had always ignored all girls, even if they ran up to him and hugged him randomly; he wouldn't pay them any attention. So to see him staring at Hinata like this, it was very baffling for him. "Why do you keep staring at her like that?" He asked while glaring at the Uchiha.

A light tinted pink hue crept up on his cheeks as he harshly turned his head away from both Naruto and Hinata. "I wasn't even looking at her" He muttered lowly with a deep frown implanted on his face. Hinata looked over at Sasuke, who at the moment was refusing to give her any eye contact.

Naruto grunted as he looked away from both Sasuke and Hinata. For some reason that was unknown to him, he felt jealous that Sasuke was even staring at Hinata. Not wanting Sasuke to get to close towards the female, he squeezed himself in between the two, while wearing a grin on his face pleased with Sasuke's annoyed grunt.

The female was use to being around Naruto and Sasuke when on missions, but to be around them like this was making her nervous. With Naruto being her crush and Sasuke being someone who she deemed as being very intimidating, this was very difficult for her. Hinata slump her shoulders down, letting out a soft sigh.

Noticing her sudden change, Naruto looked over at her, wearing a concerned facial expression. "Is there something wrong, Hinata?" He asked her curiously while tilting his head to the side.

"It's nothing, just thinking that's a-all" She replied meekly causing both males to raise their eyebrows up at her in question.

The male Uchiha didn't know why he was still walking with the two, but he felt compelled to be near Hinata for some reason. He was irking his nerves that he was even thinking about being anywhere near her. After all Naruto and Hinata are just hindrances in him becoming stronger, but deep down inside he felt a bit of happiness. He wanted and felt the need to protect them both because slowly…they were starting to become his friends.

"Hey, Hinata!"

The loud voice yelled causing Hinata looked up ahead, trying to spot out the voice. A bright smile slowly was shown on her face noticing that Kiba was making his way towards the three. "K-Kiba-kun" She quickly left Naruto and Sasuke's side to walk up towards Kiba.

Naruto groaned in annoyance, "It seems like he's the only person she feels comfortable around" He mumbled lowly. He couldn't help but to notice how whenever Kiba was around, Hinata would light up. It was almost like she was a new person, she still stuttered but she seemed more comfortable with him, more than she did with him and Sasuke.

"Hey do you think Hinata likes him?" The blonde asked while paying close attention to both Kiba and Hinata's actions.

Sasuke shook his head, his eyebrow twitching, "Didn't I tell you the other day that they're just friends?" He growled, annoyed by Naruto's stupidity.

Naruto stared at him blankly for a couple of seconds, suddenly as if it just registered into his brain he chuckled nervously, "Oh yeah I sort of forgot" Sasuke placed his hand on his forehead, letting his fingers massage his temples as he let out a irritated sigh. The two males finally made a stop near Hinata and Kiba. The air became very thick filled up with nothing but tenseness. It was clear to say the three males didn't really care for each other, which was shown all over their faces.

"So what were you doing hanging out with the Uchiha and the Konoha's idiot?" The shaggy brown haired male asked with a smirk on his face, causing Naruto and Sasuke to shoot him a hardened glared, in which Kiba merely ignored.

"Kiba-kun, that wasn't v-very nice," She frowned at him, greatly disapproving of the Inuzuka's choice of words. Hearing her defend them took Naruto and Sasuke by a shock, it was something they weren't expecting something like that from her. In a way it made them feel special. They were also pleased by Kiba's expression, which caused them to smirk. Hinata then smiled softly at Kiba, "but besides that, I was just released from the hospital and they were there, so we're just walking now" She explained shyly to the male, with a blush covering her cheeks.

"Yeah I heard that you won in the match against Sakura, that's good. I'm really proud of you Hinata" He smiled warmly at the female.

Naruto narrows his eyes at the black eyed male, "You're happy that Hinata won? What about Sakura-chan she is your teammate" Even Sasuke seemed slightly confused by this and wanted to know the answer.

Kiba glanced over at Naruto; his eyes flickered over at the female Hyuga as a blush crept its way to his cheeks spreading across his nose. "Yeah she is my teammate but…" He trailed off looking away from Hinata and back at the blonde. "I heard what you did Naruto, cheering for Sakura and not Hinata" Naruto frowned.

"I know why you did it, and the same reason you did it is the same reason why I wanted Hinata to win" He stated, with a more confident smile on his face. His dark eyes gazing over at Hinata as he casually winked at her causing her to blush darkly. "I better get going my team and I are doing some training" His eyes were currently glued on Hinata's face as he smiled brightly at. "I'll see you around, okay?"

She nodded as she watched him walk away, "He's a good friend" She thought to herself with a small smile.

"Hey Hinata, Hinata" Naruto was starting to become rather annoyed since she wasn't paying him any attention. "Geez, it's like she's in some sort of trance" Naruto waved his hand in front of her face.

Growing aggravated by her actions, Sasuke raised his hand up and slapped Hinata on the back of her head. "Snap out of it, idiot" His black eyes were seen looking off to the side, as Hinata turned to face him with a pout consuming her face while rubbing the back of her back.

Naruto's eyebrows ceased into a frown as he grabbed Sasuke by his collar, "Don't you ever hit Hinata, you bastard" He growled darkly. Sasuke merely slapped his hand away ignoring the blonde as he took a quick glance down at Hinata before he walked off without saying a word of 'good-bye'. "Hinata, are you okay? He didn't hit you to hard, did he?" He asked in concern. She shook her head letting out a small giggle, at the fact he was showing that he cared. "Hey Hinata, you want to come with me walking?" He asked.

"Alone with Naruto-kun…this has to be a dream. Naruto-kun would never ask to be anywhere with him alone" She blushed darkly, not believing that Naruto was really asking her this. She was just hoping that she wouldn't faint anytime soon.

"Hinata you sure are weird, so do you want to?" He asked once more. She slowly nodded her head. As the two started walking Naruto glanced at Hinata, shifting his weight back and fourth.

"Um, Hinata can I ask you something?"

"Sure, you can ask me anything Naruto-kun" She respond weakly from being so shy.

"Well, if I were to give a girl something, what do you think they'll like?"

"Flowers I guess" She responded thoughtfully.

Naruto grinned widely. "Yeah I kinda figured that, thanks I just wanted to make sure"

"W-Why did you ask N-Naruto-kun?"

"No reason…I just asked that's all" She blushed when she realized that they were walking near the flower shop. She watched as Naruto turned towards her.

"Hinata, what type of flowers would you like if someone had given you flowers?" She blushed even more when he asked her that, he mind going into circles but she knew that she shouldn't get ahead of herself but she couldn't stop herself.

"L-L-Lilies" She replied getting more and more nervous.

"Lilies, alright I'll be back" He walked into the flower shop leaving Hinata waiting outside for him.

"Could Naruto-kun be buying me some flowers? This is great that must mean that…Naruto-kun likes me…what if he asks me out on a date? How will he ask me? I just hope that I don't faint like I always do…oh here he comes…just try to act calm" She blushed as she saw the flowers.

"Do you like them" He asked her as he showed her the flowers.

"T-They're beautiful N-Naruto-kun…but you didn't have to buy those for-"

"Oh here she comes" Naruto leaves Hinata's side and runs towards Sakura.

"Here Sakura-chan I brought these for you" He grinned.

Hinata watched in horror as Naruto gave the flowers to Sakura. "They were for Sakura-chan…but…I thought that…" Hinata didn't even finish her thoughts as the tears came rushing down her cheeks.

"…Naruto-kun…" She whispered.

Sakura looked at the flowers and smiled. "Wow they're really pretty Naruto…but you didn't have to buy me these" She took the flowers from his hand and smelled them.

"Well…I wanted to buy you something…so will you go out with me?" He grinned. Sakura looked up at him and frowned. "BAKA NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS" She frowned as she threw the flowers in his face and walked away angrily.

"S-Sakura-chan…" He said sadly as he watched her leave. He looked back at Hinata but she was nowhere to be found. "Where did she go that fast?" He thought as he looked around.

"How can I be so stupid to think that Naruto-kun likes me of all people" She cried as she ran home. When she finally arrived home she opened the door tears continued flowing out. "I'm h-home…" She said in hoarse voice. He looked at her for awhile and then turned his attention back to his book.

"What happened?" He asked.

"N-Nothing…I'm going to go lay down now" She walked passed him to her room. He sighed as he reading his book. "It must have something to do with him" He thought to himself.

Hinata has been living under her senseis roof since her father told him that she wasn't needed in the Hyuuga house since she was beaten by her 5 year old sister and left Hinata under his care. And ever since she was been living with him, he has been training her and he treats her almost like a kid sister. Both Sasuke and Naruto knew that Hinata has been staying with him at first they thought that it was kind of strange but Kakashi explained why she was staying with him so now that have a better understanding why she living with him.

As the Hyuuga girl was in her room she continued crying. She couldn't stop thinking about Naruto.

"Oh I get it…you just don't want to play because your girlfriend to around" he smirked while the other two kids agreed. Hinata blushed while Naruto shook his head and pointed his finger at Hinata.

"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND" He yelled angrily.

"I must really be ugly compared to Sakura-chan's beauty. I mean she's the most popular girl when it comes to boys …no wonder Lee-san and Naruto-kun like her" She sighed. She sat up when she heard someone knocking on her door. She thought it would have been Kakashi wanting to talk to her.

"Come in" She said in a whisper. And to her surprise it wasn't Kakashi it was…Sasuke? But what was he doing here.

"S-Sasuke-kun…what a-are you d-doing here?" She asked in a baffled tone.

"I saw you crying earlier…are you okay?" He asked.

"Sasuke-kun is actually worried about me? But why? He never seemed to care about me before?" She looked away from him.

"Why do you care?" She asked which shocked Sasuke and Kakashi who was standing near the door being nosy.

Sasuke grunted as he looked at Hinata. "I don't…I just-"

"If you don't care then why ask? Surely you must care if you asked and come all this way to ask me how I'm doing" She smirked when she realized that she was embarrassing him. He looked away from her. "Forget I even asked…you baka" He stormed out of the room and left the house.

"Don't you think that was a little harsh of you Hinata?" He asked. Hinata looked at her sensei and smiled. "I was only teasing him…he was getting quite embarrassed…I never seen him like that before" She smiled.

He looked at her and smiled. "I think you're right…I never seen him act like that either" He chuckled. He watched as Hinata stood up.

"You're going back out?" He asked as he looked outside and noticed that it was getting dark. She nodded. "I need some fresh air…that's all" She stated.

"Don't stay out all night" He yelled as he watched her walk out the front door.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As Hinata was walking she happen to walk pass the ramen shop that Naruto is always going to. She sighed when she saw him. She knew that he saw her but she continued walking as if she didn't see him.

"Oi Hinata…what are you doing out here so late?" He asked while looking at her.

"J-Just g-getting some fresh air" She said.

"Oh…hey where did you run off to today? I was looking for you everywhere but I couldn't find you. Sasuke said that he saw you and that you went home and that you were crying. Is that true? Why were crying?" He asked becoming concerned for her.

"…Ano…it's nothing…I'm okay now" She lied. Naruto looked at her and could tell that she wasn't.

"Hinata…you can tell me anything you know…is something bothering you?" She looked at him and could tell that he was truly concerned for her.

"Ano…earlier today…I thought that you were buying those flowers for someone else…" Naruto looks at her as he waits for her to talk but she had stopped right there.

"Who else would I have brought the flowers for?" He asked.

"No one forget it" She started to walk away but Naruto grabbed her hand. "No tell me Hinata…you have been acting strange every time I'm around you and I want to know why" He said sternly.

"…I thought that you were…b-b-buying them for…me" She whispered the last part as she blushed looking away from Naruto. Naruto gives her an odd look.

"For you? Why would I buy them for you? I just asked your opinion on the flowers, it wasn't like I liked you Hinata…they were for Sakura" He explained with a smile on his face.

Hinata remained quiet as she felt her eyes water up. "I better get going now" She said as she ran away from him. When she ran passed him a few tear drops fell on his arm.

"Why was she crying? Did I say something wrong?" He shrugged his shoulders and sat back down to finish his ramen.

The raven haired ninja watched as Naruto just sat there like nothing just happened. "He's so clueless when it comes to Hinata…what does she see in him anyway?" He thought to himself as he put his hands in his pockets and started walking back home.

I lacked a lot towards the end u.u sorry about that Dx But please leave reviews n.n
