Thanks for the reviews! Anyways, hope you all enjoy the sixth chapter!

Your Breath

Sasuke was extremely nervous for today. He was wondering why of all those days he used the faucet; it just doesn't work for the flower. He couldn't even go to the bathroom when he needed to. The raven-haired boy was cursing because he didn't give the flower to Hinata on their 'date' and now he has to give it on the day they practice with the Rookie Nine along with Gai's formation.

Kami! If I just gave Hinata the flower, I could have saved myself from Neji and humiliation from the dobe. Including, Ino and Sakura are going to make Hinata's life even worse and try to harder to notice them. But, maybe the good part is that Shikamaru doesn't have to say what happened two days ago and I could tell everyone that he works at Ino's shop. Is that it? That's the only good part?

The Uchiha prodigy got dressed, but he kind of smelled bad.

"Stupid, I can't even take a shower," Sasuke said to himself.

Kakashi chuckled while Kurenai glared.

"At least give him some water to take a bath Kakashi for Kami's sake!" Kurenai said.

"Hm? Sasuke had a lot of chances yesterday to give the flower, so he is going to pay for it."

"That doesn't mean he could smell nice? Kami, he could overpower the smell of the flower!"

Kakashi in reply just took out red book and read it. The red-eyed lady twitch.

"Are you even paying attention to me?"

"Hm? What did you say?"

"THAT IS IT!" Kurenai grabs his perverted book and kicks Kakashi off the tree. The silver-haired jounin landed on someone. But this time, he landed on Lee.

"Wow! My youth is so powerful, that now men like me! Actually, I don't think that's very youthful! But now, I am focusing my youth to make women love me!" Lee shouted while Kakashi looked up.

His eyes popped out as he saw Kurenai tear up his Icha Icha Paradise.

"No! I was on the part when they were about to have sex!"

"Uh, sorry Kakashi-sensei, but I am too young for that and I am only interested in girls," Lee said.

"…He meant his book!" Kurenai said.

"Oh,"

Then all of them heard a door opening. Sasuke appeared and looked at them.

His face was blank. Sasuke saw Kakashi on top of Lee and Kurenai ripping his book.

"Hi Sasuke! Youthful day isn't it?" Lee said giving him a wave.

"Yo," Kakashi said.

"Good morning Sasuke," Kurenai said. All of them greeted like nothing happened a few minutes ago. The onyx-eyed boy just replied with a 'hn' and walked away slowly.

What the heck was that about, Sasuke thought.

Kurenai looked at him. He was carrying a bag that was black and then saw the flower.

"Kakashi get up! We are losing Sasuke!" Kurenai said as she jumped off the tree and threw the shredded papers to Lee. Kakashi then picked up the pieces.

Kurenai turned around and grabbed Kakashi's hand.

Naruto stretched as he sat up on his bed. He went downstairs to eat breakfast and grabbed a cup of ramen. The blonde heated up some water for his ramen and poured it into the cup. He put his chopsticks on it and sat near the table. Then he heard a knock on the door.

"Coming…." Naruto said, still very tired. He slowly opened the door and saw Sasuke. He sniffed him and covered his nose.

"God Sasuke! You smell bad! What have you been doing?" He yelled.

"You dobe, quiet! I need to take a shower here," Sasuke said.

"Huh? Why? Don't you have a shower in your compound?"

"Apparently it doesn't work."

"You sure?"

Sasuke just nodded and then was pushed into Naruto's house.

"Heh heh! Welcome to the Uzumaki compound! Or, the sixth Hokage's!" Naruto greeted while throwing some colorful origami paper at Sasuke's face. Then the raven-haired boy set his bag on the couch and said,

"Just show me where the shower is dobe."

"Alright! Sheez! Unless you stop calling me dobe!"

"Hn…dobe."

"Ugh! Just follow me." Naruto said as he gestured.

"Sooo… why are you taking a shower Sasuke-teme?"

"Because I smell. Everyone takes a bath."

"…. You don't have to worry about that. All the girls of Konoha are in love with you and don't care about your smell!"

"Not all the girls."

"What was that teme?"

"Nothing." He said as Naruto opened the door to his bathroom.

"Here you go Sasuke! Don't take too long because I am going to take a shower." Naruto said as he put his hands behind his head and started walking down the stairs. Sasuke went inside and not surprising that it wasn't clean.

Near the toilet, there were cups of ramen next to it. On the sink were another set of ramen with some toilet paper and some soap. Sasuke didn't care for the environment around him even thought it disgusted him. He stripped himself down and turned on the water. Sasuke entered the bathtub and just rested.

Naruto was walking downstairs and saw Sasuke's bag.

"Hmph, Sasuke forgot to get his bag…." Naruto said while staring at the bag.

Should I? There might be something to get Sakura-chan to like me, the blonde thought.

He quietly tip-toed to the couch and slowly opened the bag. Naruto peeked into it and stuffed his hand in it. He felt Sasuke's clothes, but then he felt something smooth and soft at the same time. Naruto grabbed it and took it out. The blonde stared at it. It was a lavender flower.

Why would Sasuke-teme have a flower in his bag? He thought.

Naruto smiled to himself as he thought of a plan.

Sasuke got out of the shower and dried himself off. He grabs the white towel that was hanging off the shower curtains and wraps it around his waist. Sasuke opens the door and starts to walk downstairs.

Naruto heard this and quickly stuffed the flower inside his pajamas. Then closes the bag and runs to the kitchen. Sasuke came downstairs and saw Naruto sipping his cup of ramen while shaking.

What is wrong with him? The raven-haired boy thought as he walked over to the couch to get his clothes. Sasuke opened the bag while Naruto was crazily shaking while sweating which made him look like he was having a seizure. Naruto watched Sasuke slowly opened it.

That's weird. I remembered my flower on top of my clothes, he thought. He grabbed his bag and emptied it. His clothes and a book were only on the ground. He shook it some more, but nothing came out.

Good thing Naruto didn't grab my journal, Sasuke thought.

"Naruto,"

"U-uh, y-yeah? What is it Sasuke?" Naruto said a while shaking.

"Where is my flower?"

"F-flower? What do you mean… heh…heh?"

Naruto turned around and there was a green stick popping out of Naruto's pajamas.

"What's that?"

"U-uh? This? It's nothing! It-it's my chest hair! Uh yeah!"

"Chest hair?"

"Y-yeah!"

"….."

"….."

Naruto immediately ran out of his house while being followed by a half-naked Sasuke.

"Sasuke! I didn't mean to! I was just peeking in your bag!"

"Mean to? That flower is for someone and I have to give it today!"

"Can't you just buy another one at Ino's shop?"

"I brought the last one dobe! It won't come again within a few months!" Sasuke yelled and everyone in Konoha watched the scene of Naruto being chased after Sasuke, who is only wearing a towel around his waist. Some girls fainted as the Uchiha prodigy passed by them and push them aside.

Naruto pushed some people aside too while running away from him.

"Kakashi come on!" Kurenai yelled as they followed Sasuke. Kakashi was too busy looking at a book store with a whole brand new set of his Jiraiya's books. Then he was pulled away from his sacred place and was being dragged by an angry Kurenai.

The 'wanna be Hokage' looked back to see Sasuke right behind him. Naruto jumped over someone while Sasuke accidentally bumped into the person.

"A shinobi you are Sasuke-teme! You fell on Hinata!" Naruto said while laughing hard. Sasuke opened his eyes and saw Hinata face. Their faces were centimeters away from kissing. Sasuke tried to resist kissing her while blushing hard.

"….H-hi Sa-Sasuke-san. U-um, ca-ca-can yo-you pl-please ge-get o-off o-of m-me?" Hinata said. Sasuke was so close that he could feel Hinata's breath.

Her breath… Sasuke thought. He forgot that he was half-naked on Hinata and that part of the Rookie Nine arrived.

"Sasuke! What the hell are you doing to Hinata?" Kiba asked as he grabbed Sasuke's shoulder.

"To me, he looks like he is molesting Hinata-chan," Tenten said, "you are lucky that Neji-kun isn't here you know." She said giving him a hand. Sasuke ignored it and got up.

"Anyways, why are you… almost naked?" Kiba asked trying to hold his laughter. Naruto jumped down and gave Sasuke the flower.

"I was getting my clothes, but then the dobe stole something from me and I had to get it."

"What is it?"

"Oh! It's a flo-," Naruto was cut off by Sasuke knocking him out and quickly grabbing the flower.

"Huh?" Kiba said.

"Nothing." Sasuke said as he walked back to Naruto's house. Everyone looked at Hinata and noticed that she fainted with her face full of red.

"Hinata!" Kiba said.

Kakashi wrote down the notes as he chuckled.

"That was… interesting," he said as he turned his head to Kurenai. She nodded and continued to watch Sasuke go back for his clothes.

"He better give that flower before it dies," Kurenai said.

"It looks fine to me."

"It might look fine, but the flower will look dead when it dies."

While walking, Sasuke felt something on his back. He turns around to see Sakura on him.

"Oh Sasuke-kun! You look so handsome! Are you going to bring me to your house, go to your bedroom, and take off that towel?" Sakura asked trying to be sweet, but to Sasuke, it sounded sour.

"No, I am going to Naruto's house."

"Huh? Sasuke-kun, are you gay!" Sakura asked in surprise.

Now, that was the last straw. Sasuke shook off Sakura and shouted in her face,

"No! I am not gay! I perhaps love a girl right now!" Sasuke stormed off to Naruto's house leaving Sakura confused.

"Sasuke-kun loves a girl? LOVES? It might be me!" Sakura said to herself as she skipped to Ino's flower shop to tell the blonde girl that Sasuke is in love with the Haruno, but then she turned the other way to the training grounds.

Maybe later, Sakura thought.

Sasuke slammed the door and quickly changed.

I have to give this flower now. Even, though Neji and the others see it, Sasuke thought. Then he saw Naruto entered and the raven-haired boy glared.

Naruto skipped him and quickly ran upstairs to change. The Uchiha decided to wait for his best friend. He looked at his journal and opened it.

Entry 6

Your breath… So warm and sweet. How I lose my control and want to kiss you when I feel it coming over to me.

While Naruto was changing he thought about the flower.

"I wonder why Sasuke is so upset with that. I know he will be mad to wait a few months, but…. I wasn't excepting him to be in rage. I thought that he will say dobe to me like always and then duel me for it," Naruto said to himself

He came downstairs with his usual stupid orange outfit, like always, and smiled at him.

"Thanks for waiting Sasuke-teme!" Naruto said as he walked over to him and smack his back.

"Hn." He replied as Naruto and he walked out of the Uzumaki compound.

They entered the training grounds and saw all of the Rookie Nine there along with Gai's. Sasuke gulped as he looked at Neji. He never has been so nervous in his life.

One, he has to give the flower to Hinata.

Two, he has to deal with Neji.

And three, he has to deal with the rest.

Naruto patted Sasuke on the back and said,

"Don't worry teme! We will beat everyone here!" Naruto shouted and then Sakura appeared.

"Hey Naruto and Sasuke-kun," she greeted.

"Hey Sakura-chan!" Naruto said while Sasuke just gave a nod.

Hinata looked back at Team 7 and blushed.

Sasuke-san… He… was so warm… The indigo-haired girl thought and blushed. Kiba and Shino stared at Hinata and they knew something was up.

"Don't worry Kiba," Shino said.

"Don't worry what?" Kiba asked.

"Hinata is just blushing for Naruto." Shino said quietly and walked away while being followed by Kiba.

"Come on Hinata." Kiba said as he stopped for her.

"O-okay." She said and then followed her teammates.

Sasuke looked back at Hinata and thought, it's now or never.

He slowly walked to Team 8 and the Rookie Nine stared in surprise. Voices started to become louder. The good thing was, Tenten was distracting Neji by just talking to him. Hinata turned around to see Sasuke's hands behind his back.

"O-oh, h-hi Sa-Sasuke-san," Hinata greeted. She remembered what happened almost half a hour ago. Kiba and Shino watched the Uchiha rubbing his head with his free hand while blushing.

"I have a feeling that Sasuke is going to ask something," Shino said quietly.

Naruto and Sakura watched Sasuke in shock, but didn't know what he was going to do.

"Why is Sasuke-kun going to do to Hinata?" Sakura asked. She started to rub her eyes, then fainted.

"I don't know, but….. Sakura-chan! Are you okay?" Naruto said as he picked her up.

Shikamaru, Ino, and Chouji also watched. Shikamaru was staring at him while thinking that Sasuke was going to ask Hinata out because Naruto dared him to, Ino was about to think that she was the shy Hyuga by using her mind switching jutsu, and Chouji…. Dropped his chips and pulled out another one.

Tenten walked over to Neji and Lee, who were fighting.

"Hey guys," the brunette said while giving a wave.

Should I tell Neji-kun about what happened to Hinata-chan earlier? Tenten thought.

"Hi Tenten! What a youthful day we are having right?" Lee asked.

"Hmph," Neji said as deactivated his byakugan.

"Sooooooooo…." Tenten said.

"So what? Does this have to do with something with Hinata?" Neji asked while folding his arms.

"W-what? No! I was just wondering…. If….-," then a voice interrupted the teams.

"Stop what you are doing and listen!" Tsunade said. Everyone stopped staring at Sasuke and turned their heads to look at the Hokage.

Sasuke was relived while Kakashi and Kurenai fell to the ground.

"Sasuke was about to give the flower to Hinata-chan!" Kurenai whispered to him.

"I know….. It was like the part when the girl was about to have sex with the man she loves, but then someone ripped by book. Also, I have to buy a new one," Kakashi said. Kurenai turned her head and glared at him.

"Tomorrow, there will be a festival! Soooo…. I hope you have fun!" Shizune said while Tonton snorted.

"There will be many booths, prizes, and others at there! You can sign up to work for the booths! So here's the list. Shizune will be here fore a few minutes to wait for you guys. Now you can continue your training," Tsunade said.

Then Sasuke thought of an idea. He will use the flower to ask Hinata if she will come to the festival with him.

"Hinata,"

Then everyone turned the heads. And that means…. Everyone. Sakura fainted again while Naruto picked her up and was about to laugh at Sasuke because he was embarrassing himself, Shikamaru was thinking that the raven-haired boy was still going to ask her out, Ino was making hands sighs for her jutsu, Chouji choked on a prize inside his chip bag, Neji was about to kick Sasuke's butt, Tenten was trying to distract him, Lee and Gai was shouting out youth, Shino thought that the Uchiha was going to ask Hinata to train with him, Kiba was about to feed Akamaru and himself a pill that made them go wild and attack Sasuke, Kakashi and Kurenai were really getting interested and scooted closer to Sasuke and Hinata, Asuma lighted up another cigarette, Tsunade stopped pouring her sake into her cup, Shizune dropped her board and it landed on Tonton, and Hinata was about to faint.

What is Sasuke-san going to ask me? She thought.

Jiraiya was just passing by and looked at the scene.

"Oh! This is great for my next volumn!" He said to himself as he pulled out a telescope and peeked at Tsunade's breasts instead of Sasuke pulling out the flower.

Sakura opened her eyes and watched the scene. She quickly got out of Naruto's arms and sat right next to him.

"Will you-,"

Then Hinata turned bright red and fainted.

"Hinata!" Everyone shouted except Sasuke, who was about to faint himself.
