Chapter Ten - I can't believe it
As the female Hyuga wakes up, she was taken back to see a pair of blue eyes and black eyes staring at her curiously.
"Where am I?" She asked with a light tinge of pink on her cheeks.
"You're at my place, you fainted" He stated in a low monotone voice. Memories of what happened prior to of her fainting when she suddenly remembered what Naruto had confessed before she fainted. A blush slowly appeared on her cheeks with that one memory, which Sasuke notice. The raven haired male gazed over at the blonde, glaring holes into his head before slowly looking away from him, directing his vision to the Hyuga.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, thank you for worrying about me" Hinata replied nervously.
Naruto grins widely but casually looks down as a nervous expression slowly appeared on his face. Noticing this facial expression on the blonde, Sasuke had a feeling that he was getting himself to ask Hinata something, he just didn't know what that 'something' was. Watching his lips part slightly, but before the blonde could get one word out Sasuke began talking. "Hinata would you like to train with me?" He blurted out.
The dark haired female stared up at the Uchiha in pure shock. Not really expecting him of all people asking her to train with him. After all, everyone knew that Uchiha Sasuke preferred to train in solitude, "I don't mind" She replied hesitantly.
"I'll come too" Naruto quickly added, his blue eyes glaring at the raven haired across from him.
"I want to train Hinata by herself without any interruptions" Naruto starts noticing that every time he tries to get close or ask Hinata something Sasuke will intervene by asking Hinata anything, sometimes he even asked her questions that were quite obvious. Naruto shakes his head, thinking to himself that he could be thinking too much. "Okay then I'll see you later Hinata" He said, as he then walked out of Sasuke apartment.
Hinata nods her head slowly glancing over at Sasuke, she was never really alone with him before for longs period of time because Naruto or someone else was always around them or at least near them. She looks away from him, he immediately notices her nervousness.
"You shouldn't feel that way around me, you should be use to me by now we've been teammates for months now" He exclaimed in a low but yet serious tone.
"…I know you're right but I never really been around you before by myself" She confessed in a whisper.
"I wouldn't do anything to scare you" He reassured her. She smiles as she looked at him.
"I know…" He looked at her and smirked.
"Come on let's go" He said as he helped her up from his couch which shocked her.

As the blonde was walking, he couldn't help but to think about Sasuke, wondering if his feelings for Hinata had change since he seems to be showing more interest in her lately. While he was walking he spotted Sakura walking towards him. "Have you seen Sasuke-kun, Naruto? I have been looking for him ever since we got back" She asked.
"Sasuke went to the training grounds with Hinata to train with her" Sakura's eyes widened for a moment but she slowly nods her head. "Okay thanks Naruto" She says as she head off to the training ground.

The two had been sparring for about five minutes now but as they stopped Sasuke notices that Hinata's stance was all wrong and walks towards her which made Hinata blush since he was so close.
"Sasuke-kun?"
"Your stance it's all wrong" He stands behind her and grabs her arms. "Here let me help you" He stated. Sasuke doesn't seem to notice that he's making her blush because his mind is on helping her with the stance. He continued guiding her arms in the right position as he then touched her leg.
"Move your leg a little more to the left" He said as he watched Hinata nervously move her leg. He sighed, becoming annoyed by how shy she can be, as he grabbed her leg. "Relax Hinata; I'm not going to bite. Here I'll move it for you" He touched her calf with one hand and her upper thigh with the other causing her to blush even more. "Like this…" He lifted his head up to her that her whole face was red.
"What's wrong?" He asked completely oblivious to why she was blushing.
"I think I had enough training for one day" She stated as she quickly backed away from him.
"But we barely did anything, we only sparred from about five minutes and then I helped you with your stance" He stated, becoming confused by her sudden actions.
"Maybe another time" She said. He stared at her hard making her look away from him.
"Okay…whatever" He said as he looked away from her. "You were good though. I want to continue training you until you get a little bit better" he said. She nods her head.
"Thank y-you for helping me" She smiled.
"I'm just helping out a teammate" He grumbled lowly. As the two were walking their arms brushed lightly against each other causing them to jump from the sudden fiction, as they looked away from each other. "Sorry" Sasuke muttered.
"It's okay" Hinata replied as they suddenly came to a stop.
"I need to tell you something" Hinata stops as well and looks at him.
"Hinata, I like you" He said really fast that she barely caught a single word he said.
She stared at him blinking. "I'm sorry, but didn't hear you" She explained.
Sasuke frowned as he turned a bright red and frowned. "I…said I like you" He said much slowly this time. She looks at him in shock not knowing what to say. Hinata doesn't like Sasuke in the way he says he likes her, she only thinks of him as a friend and nothing more. Sasuke then looks up at her waiting for her to say anything but then he hears his name being called by none other than by Sakura. He sighs as he watches her get closer and closer.
"Sasuke-kun I have been looking everywhere for you. I need to tell you something"
Hinata then makes this time to leave. "Well I'll leave you two alone…I need to go" She said in haste as she quickly left.
"Hinata!" The male Uchiha calls out but Hinata kept running. Sasuke then looks at Sakura while wearing a frown. "What did you need to tell me?" He asked. He was mad that Sakura had come and ruin what could have been a good moment for him. He was anxious to know how Hinata was going to respond to him.
"S-Sasuke-kun…I-I like you and w-wanted to know if you'll b-be my boyfriend" Sasuke looks at her making no type of expression.
"No" Sakura looks at him and she feels her heart break into millions of pieces.
"You're annoying and I don't want a girlfriend like you. I'm looking for someone who is more like…" He takes a long pause before he continues. "Someone more like Hinata" Sakura looks at Sasuke in shock.
"H-Hinata?" She repeats her name. He nods.
"You are nothing like Hinata" He said before walking away but before he could any farther Sakura grabs his arm.
"I could be more like Hinata…I could. I'll be shy, I'll be quiet, I'll stutter, I can do it all" She stated while having tears in her eyes.
Sasuke looked at her and frowned. "Simply pathetic…just plain right pathetic" He thought as he looked at Sakura. He then yanks his arm from her grasp.
"You don't need to act like anyone but yourself" He then walks away leaving a heart broken Sakura.
"…Sasuke-kun…" She whispered as the tears flowed down her cheeks.

The Hyuga girl ran and ran until she stopped to catch her breath. "I can't believe that Sasuke likes me…well now I know what he meant when he said it was annoying to see me with Kiba, he was just being jealous. But why does he like me? Why does Naruto like me and Kiba and Gaara? And why all of a sudden boys like me of all people. I'm not that pretty, well I don't think I am but they obviously do since they like me…but maybe it's not so much my looks but more my personality. I mean I don't go crazy and try to get Sasuke's attention like all the other girls. And well I use to be afraid of Gaara but I'm not anymore…is that why he likes me? I just don't know anymore" She sighed as she slumped down to the ground.
"Hinata-sama, what are you doing on the ground like that?"
"Nothing I was just thinking" She stated as she stood up, looking at the person standing in front of her.
"Thinking about what?"
"Nothing…it doesn't matter anyway" As she started to walk pass the person but he stopped her.
"Come tell me, you use to tell me everything before you moved now you and I barely talk since Haishi…well since you moved" The older Hyuga stated not wanting to bring up that Haishi kicked her out of the Hyuga manor.
"I know…I'm sorry Kyoshi-niisan" He smiled as he looked at her. Kyoshi was a year older then Neji and was from the same branch as him too. Although Neji now hated the main branch and treats Hinata badly Kyoshi never does that. Neji even forgot his promise that he made to his father about protecting Hinata while Kyoshi was always on Hinata side and didn't care about the feuding that was going on. Kyoshi was about a foot taller than Hinata, has long hair just like Neji and almost looks exactly like him people often mistake the two for twins or brothers. Both Kyoshi and Neji are the only ones in the Hyuga clan that don't have names that start with an 'H'. But Kyoshi and Neji don't really get along since Kyoshi remains to talk to Hinata while Neji does not. Neji doesn't get when Kyoshi talks to Hinata and always him why does he talk to Hinata and that she's from the main branch Kyoshi always told him that he doesn't care about that and that Hinata is his favorite relative and he will talk to whoever he pleases.
"Come on now tell me" He demanded but in a gentle tone. Hinata looked at him and blushed at what she was getting ready to tell him.
"Well there are four boys that like me" She looked at Kyoshi to see what his reaction would be but he just looked like he was waiting for her to finish her story.
"And well…I don't know why they like me of all people"
"Well why wouldn't they?"
"…Kyoshi-niisan I'm not pretty like other girls…" She looked away from him.
"Okay so and?" She looked at him in shocked. She thought that he would disagree with her saying that she was pretty or try to cheer her up like always.
"…Kyoshi-niisan…"
"What is it now?"
"…Nothing" He smirked as he looked at her. "Can't she tell when I'm just joking around? Of course she's pretty, why can't she see that herself, she's always bringing herself down"
"Do you like all of these boys" She shook her head.
"No, only two of them" She exclaimed.
"Really who are they?"
"I'm not telling you" She blushed a shade darkly, with the thought of the two males.
"Why, think I'll tell someone?" He asked while frowning.
"I just don't want to"
"Whatever, look these two that you like have you told them that you like them?"
"One doesn't know while the other one I think he does know" She stated.
"Well the other two, do they know you don't like them?"
"Kiba-kun does but Sasuke-kun doesn't" She gasped as she covered her mouth.
"Oh so it's the Inuzuka and Uchiha that like you" He smirked. "The Uchiha he has a lot of admirers does he not?" He asked. He watched as Hinata nodded her head.
"It doesn't surprise me that you don't him" He stated while folding his arms across his chest, looking rather amused.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because his type is arrogant, cold, distance and the list goes on…someone that you'll probably like is that village idiot Naruto" He said. Hinata frowned. "That's not true…I mean Sasuke-kun may seem that way…but he's not…he's nice and kind, there's just a lot of things you don't know about him like I do" She stated defending her friend not even hearing a word he said about Naruto being the village idiot. Kyoshi looked at her and smiled.
"I thought that you didn't like the Uchiha?"
"I-I don't"
"Then what's with the blushing" He touched her cheeks.
"I-I'm not…blushing…I mean I blush all the t-time!" She was starting to get flustered. Hinata knew that Kyoshi knew just how to tease her to the point where she would start to become annoyed.
Kyoshi shook his head. "Not like that, you like him you're just in denial about it, Ms. Denial" He smirked.
"That's not true!" She frowned as she stood up, turning around with her back facing him as she began to walk away.
He watched as she started to walk away. "Hinata-sama…" Hinata stopped and turned around.
"Yes?"
"Are you thinking of helping that Uchiha restore his clan someday. Uchiha-san" He smirked while teasing her. Hinata looked at him and frowned as she walked off ignoring what he just said. Kyoshi smiled he loved teasing Hinata when he could.
"Teasing your little cousin again I see" The female said. Kyoshi turned around and looked at his teammate as he smiled.
"Well I don't get to see her like I use to, so I had to do it" He grinned. "How long were you standing there?" He asked.
"Not long I came just a few seconds ago" Kana stated. Kana was the same height as Kyoshi and she had short brown hair that was spiky, grey eyes, bandages that covered her hands like Lee, she wore all black; the clothes she wears looks like leotard with pants with flat shoes that looked like ballet shoes (she wore them to move around quicker).
"Oh okay"
"Why?"
"It's nothing, Hinata-sama just told me something that she didn't want anyone to hear that's all" He stated.
"I see" She looked at him as she walked closer until she closed the gap and threw her arms around his neck. "Kyoshi, have I told you how much I care for you" She blushed.
"Yes…you've told me about umm…let's see ten times this week" He teased with a smirk playing on his features.
"Stop it with the smart talking" She smirked as she kissed him on the lips. Kyoshi and his teammate have been dating for about two months so far. But the he hasn't told anyone about it yet…because he didn't want to start anything with his other teammate who also likes her.
The raven haired ninja walked as he continued thinking about Hinata. "Hinata…I wondering what was going through her mind when I told her that I like her" He thought to himself as he was walking. When he looked up her saw two teenagers in a make-out session, he blushed as he continued walking.
Both teens stopped when they noticed that someone was near. Kyoshi looked at the teen as his eyes widened.
"Hey…um…um—…Uchiha!" He finally called out once he remembered his name. Sasuke froze as he turned around.
"How do you-"
"Your shirt has the Uchiha symbol on it" He said as he looking at the boy.
"Oh…yeah" He mumbled thinking about how he just almost made himself look like an idiot.
"What do you want?"
"You're on Hyuga Hinata's team right?" He asked.
Sasuke nodded as he looked at the teenager. "He must be a relative seeing that he has same eyes like Hinata" He thought to himself.
"I'm Hyuga Kyoshi and this is my teammate Kana, I'm a part of the Hyuga clan" He said with a smirk on his face. Sasuke nodded.
"That's nice…and I should care because" He said but mumbled the last part as he started to walk away as he rolled his eyes. "Weirdo" He thought as he continued walking.
"Hey, hey, HEY! I'm talking to you. You just don't turn your back when someone older than you is speaking to you"
Sasuke frowned, feeling annoyance starting to rise within him as he stopped walking. "What" He said in an icy cold tone.
"Geez, I don't know what Hinata-sama sees in you" He frowned.
Kana elbowed him in the gut. "Kyoshi-kun…" She whispered.
Sasuke eyes widened. "H-Hinata…?"
"Uhh…it's nothing. I was just talking; I can't even remember what I just said…what were we talking about again?" He smiled nervously. Sasuke stared at him while Kana shook her head.
"Um…What's that?" Both Kana and Sasuke gave him an odd looked.
"Kyoshi-kun, what's that matter with you? Who are you talking to?" Kana asked as she looked at him.
"OH OKAY HERE I COME" Kyoshi looked at Sasuke. "It's my little sister she needs my help… I have to go" He sped off leaving Kana behind.
Kana shook her head. "Kyoshi-kun doesn't even have a sister" She sighed. "Kyoshi-kun…" She looked back at Sasuke and bowed. "Nice meeting you Uchiha Sasuke…oh and sorry about Kyoshi-kun" She bowed and then she disappeared in a blink of an eye. But in reality she was running but in Sasuke's eyes it appeared to him the she disappeared into thin air.
"C-Could…Hinata like me back?" He thought as he blushed.
xxxxxxx
The Hyuga girl continued walking thinking about Naruto, Sasuke, and Gaara. "I think I'll go home for a bit" She thought as she picked her pace up a bit more. As she finally made it home she closed the door. She walked in the door she walked straight to her bedroom and laid down.
"It's not even night yet and I'm so tired" She yawned as she slowly closed her eyes. As soon as she closed her eyes she could hear a loud woman's voice coming from inside the house.
"Oh Kakashi you're so funny" Hinata rose an eyebrow as she walked out the room to see a woman with her arm around Kakashi while wearing a blush on her face.
"U-Um…"
The woman looked at Hinata and back at Kakashi. "You didn't tell me that you had a daughter" She frowned.
"No-No she's not my daughter, she's too old to be my daughter, she's my student. I'm her sensei" He replied with a nervous chuckle. The woman made a disgusted facial expression.
"You pervert! Keeping young girls in your home like this" She looked at him.
Kakashi waved his hands in his face as he paled. "No it's not like that. I'm just taking care of her for the time being" He explained.
"Aw, how cute you're taking care of her" She smiled. Hinata looked at the two and watched as they walked passed her.
"Wait a minute, they're going into his…room" Kakashi stopped as the woman walked into his room as he looked back at Hinata.
"I think you should leave for a while. Come back in an hour or maybe three hours" He smiled from behind his mask. Hinata blushed as she quickly left the house.
"So much for going to sleep" She was really tired and she couldn't even walk straight. "I just want to lie down…getting kicked out the house by my sensei" She sighed as she looked around and noticed that she was closest to Naruto's place. She knew it would be rude to intrude but she had not where else to go. She couldn't go to the Hyuga manor because she wasn't welcomed there, if she went to Kiba's place he would talk her to death and she would never have been able to go to sleep, and she couldn't go to Sasuke's not after what he confessed to her today plus she never gave him an answer and he would surly ask her about it, and then there was Gaara but she had no clue where he stayed and then there was Sakura again she didn't know where she stayed. As she was walking she finally stopped in front of Naruto's place. She could feel her heart pounding twice as much than it usually does as she knocked on the door.
"Relax…relax…just relax" She told herself over and over. As the door opened there he was.
"H-Hinata, what—what a-are you doing here?" He asked.
"Kakashi-sensei brought home some woman…and told me that he wanted the place to himself and I was really tired and didn't have…well I just wanted to…sleep…and so I came here, is it okay if I can stay just for a few hours?" She asked while blushing.
Naruto stared at her in shock. "Um, sure, it's okay I guess. You just want to sleep?" He asked while looking back into his junky apartment.
"Y-Yes…"
"My place is really junky and I'll hate for you to see it…like that"
"I understand…" She turned around but he grabbed her hand.
"But you can stay…" She looked at him and smiled. As he led her in, she could tell Naruto wasn't lying when he said junky. There was books everywhere, it smelled like ramen was all over the place, ramen cups were everywhere from on the floor, even on the ceiling (how that happened she doesn't know and didn't want to know).
Naruto blushed as he watched her as she looked around his place. "Um…you can sleep on my bed if you'll like, I'm about to leave anyway to go shopping to buy more ramen" He exclaimed. She nodded.
"I'll show you where my room is" He would have let her sleep on the couch but you couldn't even see the couch because clothes were all on it and books. It looked like a pile of dirty clothes just stacked up in that one spot.
When he finally showed her his room she walked in it hit her like a ton of bricks. His room was really junky and the smell…the smell was horrible. Hinata held her breath but tried her best not to make it look noticeable. It smelled like ramen mixed up with old gym socks and wet dog and Naruto doesn't even have a dog.
"How can he stand this smell…it's like he's immune to it. I can barely take it" She looked at Naruto who was acting like nothing was wrong.
"Sorry that it's so junky…" He grinned. She nodded as she looked at the bed which wasn't even made…but at least it didn't look dirty or anything.
"Well by the time I get back you should be up"
"You're going to be that long at the store?" She asked.
"No…I'm going to train first and then when I get done with that I'm going to the store" He stated. She nodded he head.
"Well I'll be back…" He then walked out the room and then the door. Then it hit her, she was actually in Naruto's home…in his bedroom. She blushed. "I can't believe it I'm in Naruto's bedroom…I can't believe it" She walked slowly over to the bed and laid down. "Wow it's really comfortable and his sheets smell really good not like ramen at all like I thought it would smell like" She blushed as she buried her face in his sheets. She took a deep breath and then she started to close her eyes.
She had her eyes closed for about five minutes then she opened them. "Who am I kidding I can't sleep when I smell that…that smell" She got up from the bed with a determined expression.
xxxxxxxxxxx
Five hours passed so far and Naruto was done training and done shopping for more ramen. When he enters his house he dropped everything. "M-My…a-apartment…" He looked around wearing a shocked expression. "I-It's clean…and it smells really good in here" He looked around in amazement. "Did Hinata do this…for me?" He looked around his place.
"My couch…it looks brand new…" He walked into his kitchen. "Wow…it's so clean…my dishes they're clean…my refrigerator it's clean inside and out" He grinned. He then walked into his bathroom to see that it was sparkly clean and then he walked into his bedroom.
"Wow it smells much better in here…wow I forgot that I had this" He said while looking at his DVD player. He then saw a note that was on his nightstand.
I hope you aren't mad that I clean your apartment without asking. I just wanted to do something nice for you, even though I intended on going to sleep, I never did. Well I'll see you tomorrow.
Hinata,
Naruto blushed as he looked at the note. "She did this for me…" He smiled as he sat down on his bed. "…Hinata…"
xxxxxxx
It was now the next day in Konoha and Naruto was walking with a grin on his face. Sasuke spotted him from afar wondering what he could be grinning about.
"Hey stupid" He called out. Naruto looked at him still grinning. "What's with you?"
"Oh nothing, just that Hinata did something really nice for me last night"
"What? Last night…what did she do?" He asked with his mind in the gutter.
"She cleaned my whole apartment just for me…" He sighed dreamily.
"Why would she do that?" He asked relived that his thoughts were wrong.
"She said she just wanted to do something nice for me" He smiled. Sasuke frowned as he looked at the blonde.
"Man…Hinata is so cute" Naruto sighed out loud causing Sasuke to get angry.
"What about Sakura? I thought that you liked her?"
"She's alright"
"Well you can't have both" Sasuke pointed out.
"I know that"
"Well choose one"
"I don't know who to choose"
"Well you're going to have to choose someday"
"Why do you even care?" He snapped back, becoming agitated by his friend.
"I don't. I…just don't want—just forget it stupid it doesn't matter why I care"
Naruto gave him an odd stare. "Okay…?"
"Look the other day when I told you that you will have competition…"
Naruto looked at Sasuke nodding his head, "Yeah what about it?"
"I wasn't talking about Kiba…I was talking about me" Naruto stared at him in shock then he frowned ruining his mood.
"You like Hinata?"
"Well I wouldn't say that I was you competition if I didn't, stupid" He frowned.
"Look Hinata doesn't like you, she likes me"
"Well I wouldn't be too sure about that" He stated thinking back to what Kyoshi said. Both boys glared at each other until Sakura came.
"Hi Sasuke-kun" She blushed. Sasuke turned around when he heard his name being called.
"Sakura…" Is all he said, becoming uninterested by her presence. She looked at Naruto and nodded.
"Hi Sakura, how are you?"
"Okay…I guess" She looked at Sasuke remembering what he told her the other day. Sasuke knew that's what she was thinking about as he looked at her.
"So what's with the awkward silence…oh look there's Hinata I think I better get going…there's something I need to tell her" He looked at Sasuke before walking off. Sasuke wanted to get to Hinata before him but he just decided to leave it alone.
"Sasuke-kun…"
He looked at her. "What is it?"
"You were right…about what you said, I shouldn't be anyone but myself" He looked at her in shock.
"That's why…I've decided to be myself…because I won't give up on you Sasuke-kun" She looked at him with a determined expression. He had thought that she was about to tell him that she was about to give up on him but she tells him that she's still going after him.
"Sakura you can try all you want to try to be with me but I don't like you"
"I'm still not going to give up on you…I won't lose to Hinata" She stated.
He sighed. "Listen Sakura…I don't like you nor will I ever. I closest you and I will ever be is just as friends nothing more, do you or rather can you understand that"
"I understand"
He smiled. "Now there wasn't that simple"
"But I'm still not giving up on you" Sasuke frowned. "You know what, I really don't have time for this" He then left, leaving the pink haired ninja alone.
xxxxxxxxxxx
"Hinata I just want to thank you for cleaning my apartment. I mean you didn't have to do that" He smiled at her. She blushed.
"I-I just wanted to do something nice for you…" She blushed but then she noticed Sasuke making his way towards them. "Listen N-Naruto-kun I have to go…there's something that I must attend to" She wanted to try her best to avoid him.
"Oh is it okay if I come with you?"
"Idiot, you just don't invite yourself somewhere and she didn't even ask you if you wanted to go" Sasuke frowned.
Naruto glared at him. Hinata looked away from Sasuke trying her hardest not to blush. Sasuke looked at her and smiled. "So Hinata can I talk to you in private?" He asked. Naruto looked at Hinata.
"Um…"
"I don't want any idiots listening to what I'm going to ask you" He shot a glare at Naruto. Naruto shot him the glare back.
Hinata looked at Sasuke. What was she going to do? What if he asked her about her answer…did she like him? She wasn't going to lie Sasuke was a very cute boy…but…well there wasn't a 'but' not anymore. She looked at him and smiled.
"Y-Y…we may talk" She stated. Naruto looked at Hinata and then at Sasuke.
"Well I'm going to be waiting here…" Hinata and Sasuke looked at Naruto. "I'm going to be here waiting for you Hinata" He said while glaring at Sasuke. Hinata blushed as she nodded. Sasuke then started walking knowing that Hinata will follow.
"What is it that you wanted to ask me S-Sasuke-kun?"
"Hinata, you never gave me an answer"
"I knew it was coming, I just knew it" "Well Sasuke-kun what do you want me to say? You just told me that you liked me…what can I say?"
Sasuke blushed. "Well…I-I…I don't know" He yelled out in frustration causing Hinata to look at him. "Look you're the first girl that I've ever liked and…I don't know how to act in this type of situation. I like you and that's all I can say. A-And I want to know…i-if you like…m-me" He stuttered as he looked away from her blushing.
Hinata blushed. "S-Sasuke-kun…I-I…" She didn't know what to say. He still hadn't made eye contact with her yet; he was too embarrassed to even look at her.
"What…what if she turns me down? No, I can't think like that I have to think positive about this…" He thought to himself.
"S-Sasuke-kun…I do like you" He looked at her blushing harder than he ever has. "But…I only see you as a friend nothing more" She whispered turning him down. He looked at her, hurt shown all throughout his eyes. He then frowned.
"Why is it because you like the Naruto better than me? What is it you see in him anyway? I'm better than he is. I'm stronger, better looking, I'm not stupid like he is" He ranted on and on until Hinata cut him off.
"It's not about whose stronger, better looking or being smart or dumb…I-I just-"
"I don't care anymore. I don't know why I liked you to begin with" He glared at her as he left her standing there.
"Sasuke…I'm sorry" She whispered. She hated turning him down like that…but it was the truth she only saw him as a friend and nothing more.

"I can't believe it…she turned me down…I Uchiha Sasuke the most popular boy among girls got turned down…by the prettiest girl in Konoha…" He frowned. As he was walking he happened to bump into Kyoshi.
"Hey, Sasuke?" He smirked. Sasuke looked up at the older Hyuga and frowned.
"Not you again…what do you want?" He was already in a bad mood.
"Nothing, I just said hello is all."
"You lied, I thought you said Hinata liked me" He glared.
"What I never said that"
"Yeah you did…"
"No I didn't" Kyoshi frowned.
"Yeah, you said 'I don't know Hinata-sama see in you'" Sasuke said the same words he said.
"Yeah I did say that…but I never said Hinata-sama likes you…that could have meant anything. I only said that because I was talking trash about you" Sasuke frowned as he looked at Kyoshi. "He talking about me like he's not even talking to me"
"And Hinata-sama was defended you saying that you were not all the things I called you and other crap like that…and then I said that she likes you and then she started blushing and saying that I was wrong and blah, blah, blah"
"So she does like me?"
"I don't know and don't care, maybe she does but she's probably in denial about the whole thing. You know you're not the only boy that likes Hinata-sama" Kyoshi stated.
"I know…Naruto and Kiba like her too" Sasuke mumbled.
"Yeah I know Kiba likes her but the village idiot likes her as well…I figured that Hinata-sama would like someone like him…" Sasuke frowned.
"But there is another guy but I'm not sure who he is" Kyoshi stated.
Sasuke frowned. He knew exactly who the other person was. It was Gaara; he was the only other person that's a male that Hinata talks to. He frowned.
"Look if you ever want Hinata-sama to tell you that she likes you…you have to make her jealous"
"J-Jealous…?"
"Yeah, if anyone knows Hinata-sama it's me and well maybe Neji but I know her better than he does…that damn bastard" Kyoshi hissed causing Sasuke to give him a odd look.
"Umm…" Sasuke cleared his throat.
"Well look I know what I'm talking about. Hinata-sama may seem like that type not to get jealous"
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Oh yes she is…every time Sakura is around Naruto she has that look in her eyes" He thought to himself.
"But she will get jealous. I know you have a lot of female admires, use one of them to your advantage to make Hinata-sama jealous"
"Why would I have to do something like that? I don't want any of those girls to think that I like them"
"Look trust me, I've been through this before I know what I'm talking about and trust me and it will work" He stated referring to his teammate Kana. Sasuke thought over and looked at him still very doubtful about the whole thing.
"Look you'll have nothing to worry about I'll help you the whole way through" He smirked.
"Although he looks a lot like Neji he acts nothing like him" Sasuke thought as he looked at Kyoshi. "Sure…I'll do it"
"Great, now first this is what you do" Kyoshi started talking to Sasuke as the raven haired ninja listened to the older teen.

I hoped everyone enjoyed this chapter. By the way, please read 'An Affair to Remember' by Ankomaru. She just uploaded the first chapter and it's great. Please check it out. Also, for those who read my other story 'You Belong With Me' I plan on hopefully updated that sometime within the next four days, as well as 'Love for the Uchiha', 'The Unknown' and possibly either 'The Story of her Life' or 'When it was Hinata Pt.2"
Thank you for everyone reviews. And to answer 'UchihaFanForever' question in the review, all my chapters are already typed, from this chapter all the way to chapter thirty-six. There isn't much Shino scenes in the story but I can try and add some in for you in the later chapters n.n
