Hello, all. For those of you who have been reading my stuff since That Girl, I want to apologize to you for my lack of updating. I know you've probably seen me updating for my other stories that aren't SasuHina. I just feel like I'm not good at writing SasuHina but I started this story and I'm gonna finish it, damnit. I know you've seen how poorly this was written which is why I'm coming back to fix it and along the way, I'm gonna read through it and gather all of my thoughts so that I can start back up writing. Okay, that's the end of my rant. Thanks for sticking with me!

I don't own Naruto or the characters used in this story.

Sure, Hinata looked sexy as all hell in that bikini, And sure I may have overreacted when that mutt visually undressed my girlfriend. No, fuck that. I didn't overreact. What guy would just sit around while some creep drooled over his girl? Not even Shikamaru, with his lazy ass, would have stood idly by while someone optically disrobed Temari. Shit, I don't even know why I was so worked up. It's not like Kiba will ever get the chance to see Hinata naked. Not while I'm alive.

"Sasuke!" Someone called as abnormally cold pool water splashed in my face. How did that happen? Oh yeah, I'm in a pool. I swear if that was Kiba, I'll drown his ass in this pool. I swiped a hand up and down my face in an attempt to get all the water off of my face. As soon as I could see, a partially blurry silhouette with blond hair came into view.

"Idiot…" I mumbled as Naruto's childish, shit-eating grin became evidently visible. I shook my head at my childhood friend. How can I get mad? We are in a pool.

"Don't space out like that. You never know who's waiting to get you." Naruto grinned as he smacked his hands on top of the water, causing the water to splash into both of our faces. Retard. I'm not sure he thought that out thoroughly. In one swift motion, I hooked my right foot behind his ankle, successfully tripping him and held him underwater for a few seconds until he pushed up with so much force that I slipped and plunged underwater. Before I knew it, he and I were wrestling underwater like we were still in middle school.

"Hinata, Ino. If this continues, the two of you will be out of a boyfriend. Look how cute this little bromance is." Was the first thing I heard as I held Naruto in a headlock. I turned to see Temari sitting on the edge of the pool, kicking her feet around in the water. I rolled my eyes and let go of Naruto.

"Not a chance. Does it look like I'm gay?" I asked trudging through the water towards Temari. She crooked an eyebrow and leaned back on the palms of her hands.

"Back in middle school you did. Remember how your hair was all in your eyes and you were really into skinny jeans? I really thought that you wer- shit! That's cold you bastard." She laughed as I took hold of her ankles and pulled her into the freezing water. "Let me go, punk!" Temari protested as I flipped her over my shoulder and submerged the both of us in water. Seconds later, I shrugged her off my shoulders as our friends laughed. I suddenly felt two hand on my shoulders as I was yanked into the water.

"Try not to kill each other." Shikamaru called lazily as I resurfaced with a scowl on my face. Temari looked at me with impish grin and then nodded towards her boyfriend until I got the hint. That chick is evil but I'm glad it's not me she being evil towards. As our friends talked and took part in various water activities, Temari and I slowly made our way over to Shikamaru as he lounged in his chair. Temari nodded at me as she grabbed his feet as I took hold of his wrists.

" Aye, what the hell?!" Shikamaru shouted before Temari and I chucked him into the water and high fived each other.

"He's gonna be pissed when he gets out, you know that right?" I told her as I walked back to the pool and slipped in, shivering at the feel of the water.

"He'll get over it." Temari called as Shikamaru resurfaced, his hair plastered all over his face. I guess the tie holding his hair came out. Hinata smirked and tossed a ball into the air and hit it in my direction. I raised an eyebrow and hit it back to her.

"I got it!" Ino shouted as the ball sailed over to her. She hit it over to Sakura who smacked it into the back of Neji's head. Sakura placed her hands over her mouth as Neji turned around to face her. To every ones surprise, he tossed the ball into the air and passed to Naruto. Before we knew it, we were in full on game of volleyball. We could hear spectators cheering as if the game was really serious. Some people even called us childish. Who gives a damn? After about an hour, everyone started to get all wrinkly and so we got out.

"So listen, Karui and a few of her college friends are throwing a party. You guys wanna go?" Kiba offered as we all lounged in the chairs.

"And Karui would be...?" Shikamaru asked as Temari played in his hair. Kiba rubbed the back of his neck, seemingly nervous all of a sudden.

"I…Ya know. She's just this girl I met after graduation." He answered, not making eye contact with any one of us.

"If she was 'just this girl', you would have bragged to us about how good she was in bed. Since you havent told us that, she must be more than just some girl." Neji piped up, slowly standing and stretching his back. Kiba gave a nervous laugh.

"Okay, damn. So we've hung out a few times." He said, not looking at us. Damn, just get on with it.

"A few times?" Hinata asked as she sat up straight in an attempt to be serious. Kiba raked his hand through his hair before answering.

"So we're dating. Big deal." He mumbled, running his index finger under of his nose. Idiot. For some odd reason, every girl in our little group went ballistic.

"Aww!"

"Why haven't we met her earlier?"

"Is she cute?"

"How old is she?"

I swear, something is wrong with them.

"Did you hit it yet?" Was the question that silenced everyone. We turned to see Shino sipping from his cup. The smirk that made it's way to my lips was unstoppable. He had been silent this whole time and we barely noticed that he was here. Of course we all saw him but still. He's a cool kid.

"O-of course I have…" Kiba answered, not making eye contact with his supposed best friend. Shino smirked and took another sip.

"That's bull. I've known you forever and that would have been the first thing you told me." Shino pointed out as he stood.

"Shut up man!" Kiba barked, standing and stalking towards Shino. He looked like he was about to punch him. That is, until Shino grabbed the back of Kiba's swim trunks and gripped his shoulder, sending the brat flying into the pool.

"Ha! Who knew Shino had it in him." Naruto exclaimed as he went over to high five Shino. We all watched as Kiba made his way out of the water with a smirk on his face as he too high fived Shino.

"Figures you'd be the one to call me out on my shit." He said as he looked at all of us "Aye, are you guys goin' or what?"

"Hell yeah!" Was the overall answer, voiced by Temari no less. And with that, we all made our way inside. I felt small hands wrap around my arm as I walked. With a small smile, I looked to my right to see Hinata looking up at me.

"Sasuke? Sasuke Uchiha?" A very womanly voice called. I looked at Hinata as she raised an eyebrow. "Over here!" The voice shouted again. I turned to see a woman with light brown hair jumping up and down, waving at me. She really shouldn't have been jumping because something looked like it was about to jump out of her bikini top. I had to squint to realize who it was. The woman nearly ran over and squeezed the life out of me. "I haven't seen you in ages!" She squealed. By this time, Hinata had long let go of my arm. She now had a confused look on her face.

"I'm sorry. And you are...?" I asked the strange woman. Her face fell and then rose again as she flipped her auburn hair over her shoulders.

"You mean to tell me that you don't remember me?" She pouted. I shook my head and thought for a moment. Then I realized who she was.

"Emi?" I asked as the woman's face and eyes lit up. Emi and I dated back when I was a sophomore. She was a senior. I'm not even going to lie, I had game back then. Of course, my parents didn't like that. Hinata crossed her arms and stood on her tip toes.

" I'm gonna go get ready." She stated simply as she walked off. Something tells me she's pissed. I just know it.

"Uh. Okay." I answered lamely. Great.

"She seems upset." Emi stated, watching as Hinata walked away. Oh you have no idea.

"Yeah. Anyway, what are you doing here?" I asked, not really caring. We broke up after a month because she treated me like I was a kid. I was pretty mature at 16, damnit.

"My fiancé and I are here on vacation. Look how grown you've gotten." She beamed as she pinched my cheeks. I glared at her as she let go. Here she goes, treating me like a damn kid again.

"I'm not a kid." I told her as some beefy, muscle bound giant made his way over to us and kissed Emi. Really man? Who does that? I'll keep that in for fear that this dude will crush me under those cinderblocks he calls feet.

"Sasuke, Chance. Chance, Sasuke. He's from America." She stated cheekily as she patted Chance's chest. This was another reason we broke up. She would show me to her friends like I was some sort of animal. Sasuke Uchiha is no animal. Well, outside of the bedroom anyway.

"Uh, yeah. I'm gonna go now." I told her as she and Chance engaged in a make out session that I'd much rather not see. I shook my head and casually jogged back to my shared room.

XXXX

Who does that? Comes over and presses themselves against someone's boyfriend? I'm not jealous or anything. That was just uncalled for. I sighed and grabbed a towel as I made my way into the bathroom. I may as well take a shower while Sasuke's talking to Emi. I scoffed as I turned the shower on and got in. A few minutes into the shower, I heard the room door open. I guess that's Sasuke.

"She's engaged just so you know." He called as I heard a suitcase zipper open.

"I wasn't worried." I called to him as I rinsed the shampoo from my hair. After a few moments of silence, I piped up. "Soo, what's the story with you two?" I asked, genuinely curious.

"We uh… We dated back when I was a sophomore." He said. "She was a senior.." He hesitated on that last part. I couldn't help the urge to laugh. He was so young. I doubt he knew how wrong that was.

"Sas-Sasuke, that's terrible." I laughed as I turned the water off and grabbed my towel.

"What's so funny?" He asked, rummaging through his suitcase.

"You were a baby. How'd that happen?" I asked as I ran a hand through his hair. He looked up at me and smiled.

"You may not have know this but I was good looking when I was younger." He began.

"What happened?" I asked as I pulled on a pair of panties. Sasuke gave a sarcastic laugh.

"Haha, very funny. Anyway, she came to one of my baseball games and watched me play. I was on varsity and she thought I was a senior so I rolled with it. Until my dad gave me a car for my 16th birthday. She was mad at first but she still stayed with me, then I broke up with her after a month." He explained. I just about keeled over laughing as I knelt down to go through my suitcase. Sasuke shook his head and walked over to me. "So, you're not mad?" He asked, leaning down to kiss my shoulder. I shook my head. How could I be mad that he met up with someone? I honestly couldn't.

"Not at all. Well maybe a bit since I didn't get to see you play baseball." I told him as I titled my head back to kiss him softly. We talked quietly while we got dressed and made our way out of our room and into the hallway to meet up with our friends.

"Well damn. If I had know you guys were gonna dress like that, I would have put something better on." Temari commented as she stared at Sasuke and I. I looked over at Sasuke in his black, collared shirt sleeve shirt and white cargos. He was wearing the watch I had gotten him after graduation. He looked like he belonged in some boating wear magazine. Too hot for words. I had on mid-thigh length, peach colored romper and white flats. What was she talking about? We looked pretty okay.

"Whoever is driving, just follow me." Kiba said, opening the door to a white convertible.

"What happened to the mini van?" Naruto laughed. The rest of us chimed in. Kiba glared at us.

"If you must know, Karui's dad owns a car dealer ship….or four. He's loaded. Anyway, he gave me a great deal. So all of you can suck it." He said as he got in. I shook my head as Neji, TenTen, Sasuke and I made our way to Neji's truck. Several minutes later we were on the road and following Kiba to some undisclosed location. We finally pulled parked on the curb of some overly large building. This house was incredible..

"Kiba, if you guys get married, don't sign a pre-nup." Neji commented as we walked up to the door way.

"Will you shut up?" He growled as he rang the doorbell. We all waited. And waited. And waited.

"Kiba, this girlfriend of yours could just be a figment of your imagination." Shikamaru spoke. Right after he said that, the front door opened and this scantly clad, brown skinned, red haired woman opened the door.

"Babe! You made it." She shouted as she threw her arms around Kiba.

"Soo, maybe she's not imaginative." Shikamaru noted. We nodded in agreement.

"Karui, these are my friends." Kiba said as he gestured to all of us. She smiled widely and led us inside. The inside wasn't as packed as I thought it would be but it was still packed nonetheless. It took all of thirty minutes for all of us to get situated. Some of us were dancing, some of us were drinking. Some of us were dancing and drinking. Most of us were drinking and conversing.

"And so I said 'I'm moving out dad.' He was pissed but that didn't stop me from moving in with Naruto." Ino spoke as she leaned against Naruto's shoulder. He smiled and kissed Ino's forehead. That forehead kiss turned into a nose peck, and then a lip peck and then a make out session. Sasuke and I took that as our ticket to leave. He stood up first and helped me stand even though I didn't need help. He was sweet like that.

"Panny? Panny Hyuuga?" A high pitched voice called. Not a lot of people called me that name. It could only be one person. I turned around with a smile on my face because I knew exactly who was calling me.

"Ly-Ly Koshizawa?" I smiled as a woman with dirty blonde, almost brown hair done in wild, curly tresses made her way over to me and brought me into a warm embrace.

"Panny?" Sasuke said as my friend and I let go of one another.

"Ly-Ly?" A very familiar voice asked. I turned to look into sea foam green eyes. What was Gaara doing here?

"Panny, this is Gaara. Gaara, Panny." My friend said. Little did she know, we had already met.

"I know her as Hinata." He stated nodding towards me. "Sup man?" He asked Sasuke, who gave a short nod.

"You mean the Hinata you dated last year? Why didn't you say it was this Hinata?" Ly-Ly asked. Sasuke and I looked at each other. What Hinata did he date? Certainly not me. Gaara cleared his throat.

"N-Not this Hinata. A different one." He answered lamely.

"What other Hinata has lavender eyes and a body like that?" His girlfriend answered, gesturing to me. So he lied? Wow...

"Yuhi, could you not?" Gaara nearly growled. Serves him right for lying. I laughed lightly.

"Sasuke, Ly-Ly or Yuhi. Ly-Ly, my boyfriend Sasuke." I told her. Sasuke gave his award winning, polite smile as he nodded at Yuhi.

"So, where did Panny and Ly-Ly come from?" Sasuke asked. Yuhi and I smiled like children.

"When Panny and I were six, we were part of the Animal Scouts. She was delegated as Panda and I was Lion. We just made little nick names for each other." Yuhi informed.

"We were Animal Scouts until we were 15." I told them. "But that was back in Fog City. How come you're here now?" I asked, suddenly forgetting that Sasuke and Gaara were with us.

"I went to Sandbank High and graduated with Gaara. We started dating a few days after graduation and now we're here at this party." She smiled. So they were dating? That's nice. "Where'd you go when you moved?"

"My dad brought us down to Konoha and I finished out my senior year and met this guy." I smiled, lightly nudging Sasuke, who gave a smirk.

XXXX

While Hinata and Yuhi talked about whatever it was they were talking about, Gaara had left and came back with two drinks. I raised an eyebrow as he handed me on and draped his arm over my shoulder. The fuck?

"Since our girlfriends have their friendship, don't you suppose it's time we attempt one? Yah know, seeing as how we kinda dated the same girl." He stated.

"One, you never dated her. Let's get that out of the way right now." I began as I held up one finger. "Two, I'll show you where you can shove your friendship if you don't get your arm off of me." I continued as Gaara took the hint and moved his arm. "Do whatever you want man." I said, getting ready to sip from the cup he had given me. I stopped just as I raised the cup to my lips. I don't trust him just yet.

"Whatever, bro." Gaara said as he whispered something to Yuhi, probably perverted the way she blushed. Yuhi said her goodbyes to Hinata and I as she and Gaara walked away.

"So what now, Panny?" I smirked as Hinata bumped me with her hip.

"Now, we party." She smiled as she bit her bottom lip. I shook my head and met her lips as she stood on her toes to kiss me. And party we did. Then again, party would have been an understatement. All of us got drunk to the point where we ended up driving home slow as hell even though we shouldn't have been driving. Neji drove extra slow on the count of his truck. It felt like forever until we got back to the resort.

"I love you guys!" Sakura slurred as she and Sai stumbled into their room, much like the rest of us did. Hinata slowly closed the door, toed off her shoes and made her way into the bathroom. I laid on the bed as I listened to the shower run. What I thought was a half an hour later, I had to piss. So I did. After that was when I noticed Hinata hanging over the bathtub fully clothed with the shower running.

"Hinata." I drunkenly called. Damn, my head hurt. She stirred and then looked at me as if she wasn't being sprayed with water.

"Heeeyy Sasuke." She smiled as I stumbled over and turned the water off, but not before I got drenched.

"Hey." I said as I helped her out of the tub. Somehow, I lost my footing and we both toppled onto the bathroom floor. Thank God for the soft bath rugs or else one of us would have really hurt ourselves.

"I loveee youu." Hinata whispered in her intoxicated state.

"I love you too." I said as we fell asleep on the floor, clad in wet clothes that were sticking to our skin. We slept for what felt like hours.

"Get up guys, we're going out for breakfast!" Someone called as they proceeded to bang on our door. I really don't feel like getting up. I tried to sit up but was stopped by a soft groan and a bit of weight on my chest.

"Don't get up just yet." Hinata mumbled. I shrugged my shoulders and laid back on the floor. They can wait a little while longer.

And that's that. Another fluff chapter until it really gets down to it. I hope you guys liked it anyway!

Until next time!
