Sakura sits on the leather couch, her jade eyes watching Sasuke move throughout the house getting ready for work. Naruto had left nearly an hour ago but due to her wanting time alone with Sasuke she hadn't left yet. He hadn't seemed to notice that she was still there, unless he had and was just ignoring her as if she weren't there. Sasuke is known for doing that quite often, in the past when they were younger he was actually close with her and a tad bit clingy but during this time they were only eight years old and she found his clinginess to be annoying. It wasn't until she reached the age of twelve that she started noticing him more. But by that time, Sasuke was no longer clingy and had actually started to become distant towards her.

She wasn't sure why but figured he was going through a transition. After some years had passed she thought he would revert back to his old self but he never did and that's what bothered her. She missed the Sasuke would clingy to her every day and wanting to hold her hand every second of the hour. Now he constantly seems to be annoyed by her twenty four seven.

"Why are you still here?"

Turning her head, she looked at Sasuke who was standing a few feet away from her looking rather puzzled by her presence. He was wearing a pair of black slacks, black leather shoes along with a dark blue shirt and a black tie that was lazily tied around his neck. "Well I just thought we could have some alone time. We haven't spent much time with each other in quite some time now"

"I see you practically every day, isn't that enough?" He asked, walking into the kitchen fishing through the refrigerator for something to drink.

Sakura pouted; standing up from the couch she followed him into the kitchen. "Why are you always so mean to me? You used to be so nice but you've turned into a…distant jerk"

"Sakura, I'm being myself. I'm not treating you any differently than I treat Naruto. You've known me long enough to know this by now" He explained, pulling out a bottle of water. His dark eyes watching her body language, she was clearly nervous possibly even hurt at the fact he isn't returning her affection. He wasn't stupid, Sasuke knew that Sakura loved him but he didn't share the same feelings.

He does care deeply for her but just not in that way and he probably never will.

Noticing that she wasn't going to say anything any time soon he set down his water on the counter, "Listen I have to go to work now. I'll see you later when I come home"

She watched him until he left out the apartment, leaving her alone. "He's so mean" She pouted.

Her lavender-white eyes watched the couples walking hand in hand at the local park. She has dreamed of finding that perfect guy, someone she can call her love, the one person she could share her secrets to and confine in. But finding this special someone has proved to be much difficult for many years now.

Guy after guy, none of them seemed to be the right one. In the past she would admit she thought they were but after the insight Sasuke had given her about how guys really think, it helped her a lot…well more so than before.

"Um, hey you're Hinata, correct?"

Hinata turned around to face the mysterious male voice who called out to her. Surprise consumed her expression at the sight of the person. It was none other than Uzumaki Naruto, the very man who she went out on a date with nearly one month ago and never heard from. Hinata honestly didn't think she would ever see him again but here he is standing nearly a few feet away from her. "Yes, it's been awhile Naruto. I hadn't heard f-from you since the date…" She trailed off, eyeing him curiously.

"Heh, yeah it has been awhile. I've been busy with things, you know how life is" He chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck. His blue eyes gazed over her body, Naruto had to admit she had a body and she was very kind girl. Thinking back to Sasuke's words, he knew that he was right, Hinata would make a perfect girlfriend for him.

"Hm, I think I know how that is" She replied, "So you're f-friends with Sasuke?" Hinata asked with a tinge of pink on her cheeks.

Naruto raised his brows at the mere mention of his best friend. "He's my best friend. He mentioned to me that he saw you at his job"

Hinata turned bright red, "U-Um, yes he was um…well we were just chatting" She explained, her eyes gazed over to the side trying to avoid eye contact with Naruto.

The blonde eyed her, "Well it was nice seeing you again, and I have to get going now" He turned his back on the female Hyuga getting ready to walk away but stopped briefly, "Um, I still have your number. Maybe I'll call you sometime and we can hang out" He grinned widely at her.

Before Hinata could even reply Naruto had walked away from her. She didn't know rather to jump for joy or ask him what type of game he is playing. But interest she shook her head, trying to remove any thoughts of the blonde. "H-He wasn't interested in me before so why should I be interested in him again" She thought with a pout. Looking down at her watch she noticed the time, "O-Oh my, I'm late!" She quickly ran down the walk pathway, trying her hardest not to bump into anyone.

The raven haired male grabbed Karin by her arm leading her towards the black leather couch. Currently he had the place to himself and couldn't be any happier, especially since he had a girl alone with him. Sasuke isn't one who would bring home a girl if he k

New Naruto were home or even Sakura, he wouldn't dare be rude like his roommate and bring home girls fully well knowing that the apartment isn't empty. Then again, although Sasuke didn't like to admit it, he too could become rather vocal during sex. His moans and groans would fill up the apartment. A couple of times he has gotten complaints from neighbors telling him to keep it down. Embarrassed at times by this, he tends to try his hardest not to get too loud but he's never louder than the women he is with. He makes sure of that. Sure the sex is good, but it isn't that good.

He focused his attention on the woman sitting next to him. He met her a while back when he was only sixteen years old. She had always been on the slightly obsessive side with her, but he tends to only use her for sex. She was very attractive though, in a wild exotic way.

"Sasuke…" She purred. Moving closer towards him, she gentle placed her hand on his leg. Her bright eyes watched him carefully as she leaned forward and kissed him roughly on his lips.

It was just like her to be rough, she was never gentle. The Uchiha had it in his mind that Karin would most likely never be gentle; she's just that kind of rough girl. When they are alone, she always flirts with him and tries her hardest to put on the sweet innocent voice of hers just to try and turn him on. However, it never works but he appreciates the effort she puts into it. But if someone else were around, she puts on a tough act as if she doesn't really like him at all. She'll even yell at him just to throw other people off.

Sasuke found it rather annoying but never voiced his thoughts on the subject matter, seeing how it's not that important to do so.

Slowly he closed his eyes, getting into the rough kiss Karin seems to think is passionate, when suddenly he could hear his cell phone ringing. Groaning to himself, he never parted his lips away from Karin's, cracking his right eye open he grabbed his phone looking at the caller identification. His eyes immediately widened as he pushed Karin away, "Sorry I have to take this"

Karin frown, glaring daggers at the Uchiha, "Who's so important that you have to put me on hold" She growled lowly only to be ignored by him. "Tch…"

XXX

The black haired male caressed the Hyuga's cheek with his hand as he kissed her tenderly on her lips. He pulled away from her, smiling softly at her, "Who would have thought my friend would have fixed me up with such a good kisser"

Hinata blushed deeply, apparently delighted from the comment as she leans forward pressing her lips back onto his. "I can't wait t-to kiss you again" She whispered against his lips.

"Um…we're kissing now" He responded, raising his brow up in question.

"I-I know, but next time. The second date would be m-much better" She explained, pressing her lips onto his once more.

"Well, I'm going out of town tomorrow…so I'll be out of touch for a bit" He explained, his hands working their way towards the bottom of her top to remove it but Hinata suddenly pulls away from him deftly.

"U-Um, would you excuse me a quick second?" Watching him nod his head slowly, she immediately stood up from the couch making a beeline down the hallway towards his bathroom. Once making it to the bathroom, she closed the door behind her, walking towards the bathroom cabinet looking at herself in the mirror as she pulled out her cell phone and dials a number.

Hello?

"H-hey, sorry to bug you again, Quick question"

XXX

Sasuke smiled softly at the soft timid voice he knew belonged to Hyuga Hinata. Turning his head, he sent Karin a glare seeing how she was trying her hardest to distract him away from the phone but caressing his bare chest with her hands. "Would you excuse me a second, babe?" He hissed out the last word, causing Karin to frown and move away from him, sitting back in the couch as Sasuke scooted up.

I'm sorry, were you busy?

"No, no, it's nothing. Don't worry about it, what's up?" He asked curiously, noticing how low she was speaking. He almost felt the urge to tell her to speak up but he didn't say anything.

W-Well, I'm making out with this guy, u-um PG stuff! And the he mentions he's going out of town, so he's going to be out of touch…

Sasuke mentally frowned; he knew whoever she was with isn't truly interested in her. Whoever it is must only want her for the sex and not a relationship with her. "Run" He spoke seriously into the phone.

…But maybe he is going out of town.

Resisting the urge to roll his eyes as he let out a suppressed groan, "To where? The moon? Where is he going that he has to be out of touch?" He listened to Hinata call out to the guy; his name was Shikamaru from what he heard. Sasuke knew he had heard that name from somewhere, but he just couldn't place where he heard it.

He said he'll be going to Kyoto.

"Like I said in the beginning, run" Sasuke repeated himself.

So, now what, I'm just supposed to run from every guy who doesn't like me?

"Uh, yeah that's the point, Hinata. You don't want to be with a guy who doesn't like you. Would you want to be in a one-sided relationship and have the guy you're with cheating on you?"

There's not going to be anyone left…

He chuckled at hearing her whine. It was actually cute to hear her whine over this subject matter. Hinata was a great girl, she really was, it's just the fact that she chooses the wrong guys and from what he can tell tries to convince herself that they are the one for her. When in reality they aren't. "Okay, I don't know why I'm saying this, but I actually think I know of a nice guy who you might like" Taking her silence as to continue the raven haired male parted his lips, "He's an old friend of mine. We can all meet for a drink…it'll be good"

He could already see Hinata's smiling bright face; he just was hoping that his plan would work out in the end.

S-So, I'm in his bathroom right now. What do I do now?

"You have to come out eventually. But I'd take my time in there. Let him sweat, guys get nervous when you girls do that" He smirked.

Ri-Right let him sweat.

"Talk to you later Hinata" He smiled softly to himself as he pressed the end button on his cell phone. Once he set his phone back down on the coffee table, leaning back into the couch he turned his head to the side noticing that Karin had a menacing glare on her face. Sasuke knew the glare was directed at him. "What is it, Karin?"

"Who was that?"

"What does it matter to you?"

"You were making out with me and you tell me to hold on for another woman. I want to know who she is!" She snapped, standing up from the couch as she glared down at the Uchiha.

Sasuke sighed; closing his eyes he rested his head against the couch. "You aren't my girlfriend. Since when do you have control over me and who I talk to? Besides, it was an important call. It couldn't wait"

"Tch, important you say? You were giving her advice, Sasuke. That could have waited. Ugh, you know what I'm just going to leave" She grabbed her purse and stormed towards the front door and left in a haste.

"Good riddance" Sasuke muttered to himself, with a small smile of satisfaction. With Karin gone he could finally relax and have time to himself before his loud-mouth roommate came back home. But he had to admit, out of all the women he has been with Karin has always been the most entertaining one. His thoughts wandered to Hinata. No matter how much he wanted to leave her alone for good, he found himself not being able to do that. Just hearing her voice brightened up his day, she was really growing on him.

It was the next day; Hinata was currently waiting inside the bar for this 'supposed' date that Sasuke had informed her about. She had been waiting for nearly thirty-minutes for Sasuke and this mystery guy to show up. Her bright eyes searched the bar until she spotted Sasuke coming inside, his eyes gazing around until he spotted her and began walking towards her table.

"Sorry I'm late" He stated, taking a seat down next to her, reaching for a hand full of peanuts that were inside a basket in the middle of the table.

Hinata blushed at his closeness as she shook her head, "T-That's okay. I like a little time before a blind date. S-So that I can r-remind myself not to talk about the time I fell down a flight of stairs at the—"

"He's not coming" He said blankly, raising his hand up into the air motions for the waitress to bring their table another round. "Can't wait to hear that story about you falling, though" He winked at her.

Hinata bit down on her bottom lip, her eyes focused on her lap. "How can he al-already not like me…?"

Noticing her frustration Sasuke smiled sadly at her, placing his hand gently on her shoulder. "I screwed up. I told Gaara it was Thursday, but I meant Tuesday" He explained, tossing a peanut into his mouth chewing on it slowly. He could tell that she was disappointed but said nothing as the waitress drops off their drinks.

"This is just great…I'm stuck here with a guy who can't distinguish Tuesday from Thursday. And meanwhile this girl" Her eyes glance over at a female standing near the bar next to a tall guy, who was flirting aimlessly with him. "She probably already found her soul mate" She pouted.

Sasuke's eyes followed Hinata's, watching the blonde haired female talking to the rather tall black haired male while on the other side of her a green haired male was eyeing the same female from the distance. "Nah"

Hinata turned her head to look at Sasuke and back at the couple at the bar. "How do you know?"

"See the guy trying to work the sexy guy thing. She's interested. He's not" Sasuke spoke as if he were stating the obvious.

"You cannot tell from a cursory glance that he's not i-interested" She said in disbelief.

"Actually, I can. I manage a restaurant. I see this stuff go down every night. Watch, she's talking to him and he's trying to think of a way out of the conversation. He's dying and she doesn't seem to get a clue" His eyes follow an attractive woman who walked past the male as the blonde woman spills her drink, "And look at this, another girl walks past and she spills her drink so that guy takes his opportunity to leave. But wait a second, the lonesome idiot over there notices the other guy finally left and he takes his move on the blonde"

And as if on cue, everything Sasuke just spoke happened causing Hinata to turn her head looking rather astonished at the smug looking Uchiha. "That was amazing. You re-really have a gift"

"Heh, learn and learn my friend. That lonesome idiot will probably buy her drinks all night but she'll just keep on insisting that there isn't any spark"

"Maybe there isn't. You need spark" Hinata spoke softly.

Sasuke snorted, rolling his eyes as he turned to face her. "The 'spark' thing is bull shit"

Hinata stared at him as if he had just slapped her across the face, "Really? P-Please enlighten me"

Sasuke cleared his throat, "Guys invented the 'spark' so they could not call you and treat you kind of bad and keep you guessing. And then convince you that the anxiety and fear that it creates in your is actually a 'spark'. And you all buy it. You love it. You all thrive on it because you all love drama"

The female Hyuga pouted, "I-I don't"

"Really? So you don't wait until the last minutes on deadlines, or on phone bills because you love the drama of not knowing whether you'll make it?"

Hinata looked away from him with a tinge of pink on her cheeks, "…Maybe"

"And let me guess, when you were stalking Naruto that night, you were obsessing about calling him for days, even the date was just mediocre?" Noticing that he hit it head on when she didn't speak, the Uchiha smirked proudly to himself. "See, you thrive on drama. You have to be more like me. If a girl likes me great, if not there are plenty more like her and probably with bigger breast"

The female turned a shade red, looking away from him as she shook her head, "That's very beautiful, Sa-Sasuke" She said in sarcasm.

"Thanks" He smirked, giving her a casual wink.

Silence engulfed the two for a few moments until Hinata broke the silence, "Why are you sharing all this inside dating information with me again?" She asked curiously with a small smile.

Sasuke shrugged his shoulders up, "I don't know. I like you"

"Y-You do?"

Noticing her wide eyed expression, he leaned away from her a bit wearing a serious expression. "Don't start doodling my name on your binder. I just mean, I like you, like…like how I like basset hounds. They're kind of pathetic, so you just want to cheer them up" He joked.

"Again with the sensitivity"

Sasuke smiled his rare bright smile that caused her to blush but she couldn't help but to smile back.

Ayame watched the contractor writing on his clip board, "It looks good" She spoke with a small smile. The male nodded his head as the room became awkwardly silent. She began thinking about her husband; she knew something hasn't been right with him lately, first coming home smelling like smoke, and then the smell of another woman on another night. Whenever she questioned him about it, he'll tell her not to worry about it and that she must be stressing out due to the construction that was happening at their house.

But Ayame knew better…she knew something was off. Her brown eyes stared at the male as he stared at her. "Kyo" She called out his name softly.

"Yes"

"Kyo, if I asked you an honest question, do you think you could give me an honest answer?"

He remained silent for a couple of seconds, not really knowing where the conversation was heading. Parting his lips he finally replied, "I think so"

"Good, because I think some of your guys have been…smoking"

Kyo stared at Ayame; the silence was eerily awkward making it very uncomfortable for the older male. "Kyo?"

"Um, is that the question?"

"Yes"

"Oh. It seemed like a statement" He said, smiling nervously at her.

"The question part was implied" She stated, still seeming to be waiting for his answer.

"I didn't really hear it in the inflection—"

Ayame frowned, "Kyo, have your guys been smoking or not?"

"No, ma'am, my guys don't smoke on the job site. They're all good guys"

Hinata took a step closer towards the male, with narrowed eyes, "Are you sure your guys aren't sneaking around here? And smoking? And lying to me? And—smoking?"

Kyo didn't know what was going on; he'd never seen Ayame like this before, it was very unusual. "I'm p-pretty sure"

"I need you to be honest with me, Kyo. Because I can't have someone lying to me. To my face. Under my roof. On my time"

"That's a lot of prepositions…"

Ayame clearly didn't hear him as she continued barreling on, "I mean, there is no reason for that kind of dishonesty, is there? Is there! I mean, we mean promises to one another…" She was on the verge of tears, she couldn't stop herself. Her mind was currently on Kakashi. Noticing Kyo's confused expression she quickly corrected herself, "What I mean is, we had a contract. Which is like making promises to each other, right?" She sniffs and takes a step away from him.

"Maybe I should just get back to work…"

Ayame nodded her head, quickly turning away from him to hide her tears, "Yes, fine, good idea" She watches him to turn and leave, "But, were good here, right? You and I?" She asked, wiping her tears away as she turned to face him wearing a bright weary smile. Noticing he was just staring at her blankly she chuckled, "Okay great. The molding really does look great" She said just to change the subject.

Once he left, she leaned against the counter. Her mind was going in circles she couldn't believe she let out all of her anger on their contractor. All the things she wanted to say to Kakashi, she said to him instead.

"I'm such an idiot…"

Kakashi sat in the bed, currently nude staring at his wedding band. "What am I doing?" He mumbled to himself, with narrowed eyes. He didn't have much time to ponder about his wife when Rin emerged back into the bedroom, wearing nothing but a large white t-shirt. His eyes met hers and the moment seemed to have frozen, "Wait, and stop"

Rin stops in her spot, "What?"

Kakashi eyed her for a few moments, taking her body in with his eyes. "Shit…this is bad" He muttered to himself, unknowingly playing with his wedding band.

"What is it, Kakashi?" She asked curiously, rocking back and forth on the heels of her feet eyeing him. She could feel her heart racing in her chest, she was afraid he was going to change his mind about this. Earlier within the day Kakashi called her about wanting to meet up with her. She knew that Kakashi had a lot of friends, friends with eyes…she had been nervous about being caught with him in public so she suggested that he come to her house.

When he came the two merely talked about their past and even their friend Obito…who sadly passed away when they were younger. Shortly after they watched a couple of movies and next thing they knew things began heating up and now their inside her bedroom while he's sitting nude under her covers in her bed, despite the fact he is wearing that insufferable mask.

"I'm so into you" He smiled from behind his dark blue mask. Rin grinned running towards the bed as she joined him on the queen sized bed. "I'm lying here watching you and I seriously have never felt this way before. I have to forcibly make my brain stop thinking about you. I mean, all the time"

"Why stop?" She beamed, with a blush.

The silver haired male stopped smiling, his eyes showing the seriousness, "Because I don't do stuff like this"

Rin raised her brow, "Stuff like what?"

"Like having sex with women who are not my wife" He explained, narrowing his eyes off to the side thinking about his wife, who he knew was at home worrying about him.

Rin scooted closer towards him, cupping his face into her hands making him look at her. "First of all, I'm not women. I'm just one"

There was a long pause which made Kakashi eye her, "What's second of all?"

"I didn't have a second of all"

Kakashi snorted, "I thought second of all was going to make me feel better"

Rin stares at him blankly, trying to think of something to say. "Second of all…I can't stop thinking about you, either" She smiled sweetly at him, leaning forward to remove his mask so she could kiss him but he stopped her by turning his head to the side.

"I have to tell her"

"Wh-What…?"

"I have to tell, Ayame"

Rin knew where this was heading and didn't want it to go there. She hated to be selfish but she wanted Kakashi to herself, "I don't want to push you to—"

"I want to be with you. And I can't do that if I'm lying to her"

"You know what's best…"

Kakashi sighed, pulling Rin close to his body resting his head on top of her head. "I seriously don't know what to do"

Currently sitting in her living room watching a movie, her mind wasn't really on what she was watching. But luckily her phone rang, reaching over she picked up the receiver. "Hello?"

Oh, hey. You're home.

Hinata smiled, she knew whose voice that belonged to. It was none other than Uchiha Sasuke. "Where am I supposed to be?"

Out. It's a Saturday night, Hinata.

"You won't let me go out with guys w-who don't like me. It's kind of limiting" She sighed sadly.

I was just calling to let you know, I'm having a party at my place next weekend. You should come.

"U-Um…I don't know. W-Won't Naruto be there? Might be kind of awkward…" She trailed off, knowing that the two were good friends.

He's in Osaka for the weekend at some real estate conference. But there's going to a lot of single guys.

Hinata smiled nervously, "So I-I will have plenty of chances to be awkward. Thank god" She said in sarcasm.

Don't worry. I'll be there. I'll talk you through it.

"So, the party…is it like a big party, more of a mellow hang out or—"Hinata suddenly heard a loud crash on Sasuke's end on the phone. Her eyes widened wondering what happened.

Yeah, okay. I have to go; I think someone just dropped an eighty-four wine glasses.

"I'm sorry for bothering you at work. No wait…you called me. A-Ah, okay bye" She quickly hung up the phone, with a blush on her cheeks thinking about what transpired between her and Sasuke over the phone. Her eyes widened in shock as she finally comes to the conclusion of something she had been pondering about for a while now.

Monday finally came and Hinata was up bright and early rushing into the building. Once she was inside she rushed towards Ayame wearing a bright smile, "He's into me"

The light brow haired female grinned, "Awesome, I knew it" She leaned forward and hugged the smaller female, "Who are you talking about?" She asked with a nervous laugh, removing her arms from around her.

"Sasuke, it's totally clear to me now!" She smiled happily.

Ayame couldn't help but to smile warmly at Hinata, over the years she has become like a younger sister not only to her but to Kakashi as well, even though she spends more time with Hinata than Kakashi does. "You know, I knew there had to be a reason he was spending all that time with you" She cheered her on, playfully hitting her on her arm.

Hinata giggled nodding her head, "I know! It's s-so obvious now, there were so many signs that I missed before that are now clear to me" She blushed deeply.

"Oh, give me the signs. I love to hear about the signs" Ayame urged Hinata on, following the younger female towards her desk as she grabs her chair, rolling it closer towards her desk.

"Well, at first they were small, like when I first called he said 'Good to hear from you'"

Ayame nodded her head, "Totally good sign. Go on"

"And t-then the next time I called he was with a woman, but he still took the call. And talked to me for a while"

"You know it was a woman?"

"He called her 'babe'"

The older woman's facial expression brightened up even more, feeling excited for her friend. "A guy does not leave a woman to talk to another woman, unless there's something going on" She gleamed causing Hinata to smile brightly.

"I know! A-And it gets more obvious. I mean, he was going to set me up with some 'Gaara' person but there was no fix up. He was the f-fix up"

"Wait…really?"

Hinata nodded her head, "He shows up, without this fictitious Gaara character, and the two of us basically have a date. And then he calls me to invite me to a party at his place" She blushed deeply.

"You're right. He so likes you"

Hinata nodded her head, grabbing her pen as she began doodling Sasuke's name on her binder drawing small hearts around his name. "Sasuke…" She sighed dreamily.
