Oh my god! I am almost up my way to pass 100 reviews! I am so happy! Thanks for reviewing! I hope you enjoy the eight chapter! Sorry for the late update! I busy while making this!
Your Cheeks
It has been two days since the Konoha festival ended. Everything was calm and quiet, unlike the festival. It was a bright sunny day and the breeze was just perfect. Sasuke laid under a cherry blossom tree. His eyes closed and he was breathing calmly.
For once, it's a quiet day without the dobe and Sakura, he thought.
"Sasuke-teme!"
Screw that. Sasuke opens his eyes and lifts his head. He sees the hyperactive ninja coming closer to him. The Uchiha pouted and crossed his arms.
"Sasuke! I finally found you!" Naruto shouted.
"What do you want?" Sasuke asked in an annoyed tone.
"….Well... I kind…of… heh… heh,"
"Did you forget?"
"No! If I am going to be Hokage, I have train like one!"
"So, what do you want?"
"…Uh," Quick Naruto! What did you forget? Ugh! It had something to do with Sakura-chan! Just make up something to get Sasuke busy! Naruto thought.
"You for-,"
"Hinata is looking for you! She said to me that she has a special gift for you!" Naruto said. What are you thinking? Sasuke-teme will never believe that! God! Then Naruto felt a strong wind pass by him. He shook his head and saw Sasuke running with full speed going to the Hyuga compound.
"I can't believe that worked!" Naruto shouted.
"What worked?" Sakura asked as she appeared with some bento boxes behind the blonde shinobi.
"That Sasuke-teme thought that Hinata had a special gift for him and now he is running to her house," he said while laughing.
"You what?" Sakura asked as she was about to break their lunches.
"Oh now I remembered! You brought homemade ramen for us! If only I didn't say that lie to Sasuke, he could have taste your ramen!" Naruto said.
"Na….ru….to….." Sakura said slowly as she dropped the bento boxes and walked towards him.
"Hey Sakura-chan, why did you dropped the ramen?" Naruto asked. Then he was knocked out.
I wonder what Hinata made me. Maybe she made me a kimono, or will give me a kiss on the cheek for the festival, or-, Sasuke's thoughts were cut short when he bumped into someone. He opens his eyes thinking it is Hinata, but it turns out to be someone else different.
He fell on Neji.
Kakashi and Kurenai were jumping to branch tree to branch tree. Both of them were thinking the same thing as Sasuke.
"I wonder what Hinata-chan is going to give your student," Kurenai said.
"I know," Kakashi replied.
"A hug,"
"A kiss,"
"No, not a kiss. Hinata-chan is too shy."
"….."
"…."
"…sex?"
"….you dumbass…"
Tenten walked out of Ino's Flower Shop. The weapon mistress sniffed the roses that she picked out. Hmm… These flowers smell great! I hope Neji-kun likes the smell of them when we go to our picnic.
Thinking to see Neji standing there waiting, she turns her head and sees a disturbing scene. Sasuke was on top of Neji. She dropped the flowers and her mouth flew open.
"What the hell Sasuke!" Tenten asked. Before she was able to say anything, someone appeared behind her.
"What has Kakashi done to you?" Gai asked. So that is how all the ladies get you. Sasuke is following Kakashi and he is doing well with most of the girls here in Konoha!
Sasuke quickly got off of Neji and regained his posture. "I accidentally bumped into him," he said. The Hyuga got up and glared at him.
Something is wrong, he thought. Sasuke left the scene and walked normally to Hinata's house. When he was out of Neji's sight, Sasuke started to run.
"…Looks like Gai thinks you influenced Sasuke in a bad way," Kurenai said as she jumped into another branch.
"Hm?" Kakashi asked as he followed her with a large bag of notepads.
"Just forget what I just said."
Sasuke gulped. He was in front of the door that separated him and going inside the Hyuga compound. Before he was able to knock, someone already opened the door. It was Hinata's father, Hiashi.
"What business do you have here?"
"I-I….U-um," he was starting to sound like Hinata.
"You have to hurry boy before I let the guards lead you out of here."
"I-I….am here for Hinata."
"Hinata?"
"Your daughter."
"I know she is my daughter."
"…."
"What do you want from Hinata?"
"Someone gave me a message that your daughter has something for me."
"She does? Well, then. Hinata!" Hiashi shouted as he went back to the house.
A little voice answered, "Yes father?"
"Someone is here for you." Hiashi said as he went deeper into the house. Then Sasuke heard tiny footsteps coming. He was getting nervous. Out of nowhere he started to shake a bit.
I wonder what Hinata is going to give me. He thought.
On a tree, Kakashi and Kurenai were getting in to it. They got out new notepads and some brushes to write them down. Their eyes were so focused on Sasuke that they didn't notice one of the guards of the compound was telling them to get down.
"Hey! You two! Get down from there or I will arrest you!" the guard said.
"Shh! We are watching something so you better be quiet or we will bring you to the Hokage," Kurenai said.
"What? It is my duty to protect this place with my life!"
"Then pretend you died and we will call it a day," Kakashi said.
"What? You messed with the wrong person. Byakugan!"
Hinata wondered who was at the door. Maybe it is Neji-niisan with Tenten-chan. But what do they want with me? Or maybe it is Sakura, who might invite me to hang out with her… Maybe it is Naruto-kun… Or…, Hinata's thoughts were cut short when she saw Sasuke at the front door waiting. The thing that was kind of weird was that he was shaking.
"Sa-Sasuke-san?" Hinata asked as she opened the door a little wider.
"O-oh. H-hi Hinata," Sasuke stuttered. She lifted up a brow. Is Sasuke-san actually stuttering? Like me?
"H-hi."
"Um….. Naruto told me that you have a special gift for me. So I came to your house to figure out what the gift was."
"G-gift? Wh-what gi-gift?"
"For me."
"So-sorry Sa-Sasuke-san, b-but I-I do-don't ha-have an-anything fo-for y-you."
"What?"
"WHAT?" Kakashi and Kurenai asked being grabbed by some Hyuga guards.
"I-I do-don't ha-have an-anything gi-gift fo-for y-you. So-sorry….."
"Oh… … Well, I will see you later," Sasuke said as he walked away. Then Hinata felt something in her stomach. She frowned.
I feel bad for Sasuke-san. He came all the way here from some gift that I didn't have… Naruto-kun made it up… Maybe Sasuke-san and I should have a little time together. Hinata thought.
"Sa-Sasuke-san!" She shouted.
The Uchiha prodigy turned around and stared at her with a confused face. What does she want?
"U-un….. I-I a-am no-not do-doing an-anything to-today….. S-so I-I wa-was thi-thinking if y-you wa-want m-me-,"
"Yes!" Sasuke said with a smile on his face. Hinata lifted up a brow.
"I told you that Hinata is going to have sex with Sasuke," Kakashi said.
Kurenai turned her head and slapped Kakashi's cheek. "Hinata didn't finish what she said you baka!" She said.
"U-um…..I-I di-didn't fi-finish…."
"…Hn….."
"I-if yo-you wa-want m-me an-and yo-you t-to wa-walk a-around Ko-Konoha f-for a f-few ho-hours?" She stuttered while blushing and poking her index fingers together.
Sasuke paused for a while. He couldn't believe what he heard. The raven-haired boy felt something tingle in him.
"Sure." He said.
"Bu-but I-I ha-have t-to te-tell m-my fa-father." She said. Sasuke nodded and watched her go back to her house. Then he hears the conversation between Hiashi and Hinata.
"Um…. Father?"
"What?"
"May I go walk around Konoha…..with….Sasuke-san?"
"…what?
"May I go walk around Konoha with Sasuke-san?"
"No."
"W-what? Why?"
"No."
"Please father! He….. He will help me with my training!"
"…Fine, but I will send one of the family members to tell Neji to bring you home."
"Neji-niisan? Why him? I can take care of myself."
"No. If you want to go with the Uchiha, you have to listen what I say."
"I can take of myself. Please father. Sasuke-san will bring me home before the sun sets."
"Fine." Hiashi said. He left the room and Hinata signed. If Neji-niisan would have found out that Sasuke and I were going to walk around for a while in Konoha, he will blow up. She thought.
Sasuke also signed in relief. Neji could have killed him for taking out his little cousin. Not just an average person taking Hinata out, but the heartthrob of Konoha. Hinata went out the door and ran to him. In Sasuke's thoughts he sees Hinata running at him and then jumps into his arms.
"Sa-Sasuke-san? A-are y-you re-ready?" she asked. He nodded and both of them walked out of the compound without noticing their senseis fighting with the Hyuga guards.
"Thank you! Come again!" Ino said while waving. She turned around and glared. "Shikamaru! Where are those lilies?"
"Coming…" Shikamaru said. He sets the box of lilies on the counter and wipes his sweat off his forehead.
"That took you long!"
"Well I was fixing some of the stuff in the storage."
"Really?"
"No. I'm going outside to watch the clouds. Call me if you need me," Shikamaru said as he walked outside with his hands behind his head. Ino growled and crossed her arms.
"So lazy!" she said.
Shikamaru closed the door of Ino's Flower Shop and signed. Why are girls so troublesome? He thought. Then something really caught his attention. Shikamaru rubs his eyes thinking it was some kind of genjutsu, but it turns out that it was true. He saw Sasuke and Hinata walking together while talking about their fathers.
What the hell? He thought. Shikamaru quickly went inside the flower shop to tell Ino. Once he entered, Shikamaru grabbed Ino and shook her.
"What the? Shikamaru! What are you doing?" Ino asked.
"Sasuke and Hinata are walking. Together!"
"What?" Then she pushed Shikamaru aside and broke through the glass door, "SASUKE-KUN!" she shouted. Once Ino calmed down, she saw Kakashi and Kurenai walking together while taking notes.
"Uh….. Shikamaru….."
"What?"
"It is just Kakashi-sensei and Kurenai-sensei walking. You better get your eyes check," Ino said as she walked in while Shikamaru said troublesome.
During their time alone, Sasuke and Hinata ate lunch under a cherry blossom tree while talking about their teammates. The next thing they did was train a bit and then continued to walk. They had one more thing to do before the sun sets.
While walking, Hinata saw a pastry restaurant. "U-Um…. Sa-Sasuke-san, ma-may w-we e-eat t-there?" she asked and pointed at it. Sasuke looks at the restaurant and nods. Hinata smiles and leads Sasuke to the building.
It was kind of filled with people. The walls were decorated in pink and white with some golden zigzags. The table cloths were white and it had a candle in the middle. They entered and sat near the corner of the restaurant, but near the window. Sasuke looked around for anyone he knew and held up his menu.
Kakashi and Kurenai lowered down their menus to see Sasuke and Hinata talking about the pasties they were selling.
"Looks like their 'date' is going well," Kakashi said as Kurenai wrote some notes down.
"Oh! They are looking this way! Put up your menu!" Kurenai said as she lifted up hers.
"So what are you going to order?" Sasuke asked.
"U-um… Ma-maybe…..w-we ca-can sh-share ju-just i-in ca-case i-it i-is b-big o-or i-it mi-might ta-taste b-bad," she said.
"Hn." Then he looked at the menu and asked, "What would you like to order?"
"U-um…. Ma-maybe th-the ku-kunai cu-cupcake wi-will b-be ok-okay. Un-unless i-it i-is fi-fine wi-with y-you."
"Kunai cupcake," Sasuke ordered. Then waiter nodded and went back to the kitchen.
"Excuse me? But are you two going to order? You have been staring at the menu for about ten minutes while ignoring me," the waiter said. Kakashi peeked at the man and went back to the menu.
"If you guys are not ordering then the both of you have to leave," he added.
Kurenai lowered her menu a bit and said, "Just give me everything on the menu."
"Fine." Then he grabbed the menus, but then Kakashi and Kurenai held on to them. He started to pull harder, but then accidentally slapped himself.
"Ah! ... Let go of the menu!" he said.
"We are kind of busy here so leave us be," Kakashi said. Then the waiter went to the kitchen to tell the others about them.
"Here you go! Enjoy!" The waiter said.
There he left, was a kunai cupcake that had white frosting on top of it. Sasuke and Hinata both looked at it. They reached out the same time for the cupcake, but accidentally brushed their hands. Both of them looked at each other and blushed. Hinata started to poke her index fingers together while Sasuke looked the other way.
"You can have the first bite."
"You can have the first bite."
They stared at each other. Both of them said the same thing. Sasuke pushed the cupcake to Hinata, but did the same thing. Then the Uchiha grabs the cupcake and holds it up.
"Maybe we should just eat it together," he said. Hinata nodded and leaned closer to Sasuke. To Kakashi and Kurenai, it looked like they were about to kiss. Right before they were able to bite the cupcake, someone behind Sasuke scooted back really fast/hard and pushed Sasuke and the cupcake to Hinata's face.
Pieces of the cupcake dropped and left Hinata's face full of frosting with chunks of the kunai pastry. Sasuke also shared the frosting, but on his hand. He pulled back, but something kept them together. It was melted marshmallows. His hand was stuck on Hinata's cheek. Sasuke started to pull his hand, but then heard Hinata squeal.
"Sorry," Sasuke said.
"I-ish al-alshrigsh." She said.
"What? Could you repeat that?" Sasuke asked.
"Mmph! M-my mo-mousht ish sh-shush," Hinata said.
"Maybe if I pinch the marshmallows on your cheek, I can take it out." Sasuke said while Hinata nodded. The raven-haired boy pinched her cheek and started to pull. The marshmallows were quite chubby and soft, but it turns out to be Hinata's cheek.
"O-oucsh." She mumbled.
"This isn't the marshmallows?" Sasuke asked and she nodded. He was pinching her cheek. …They seem soft. He thought. Then he noticed something. His fingers couldn't move.
The guy behind, who caused this situation to happen, looked at Sasuke.
"Hey! What the heck are you doing to this poor little girl!" he asked.
Sasuke slowly turns his head and glares at the man.
"You did this…"
"Huh? I-I don't know what you mean."
"You stuttered."
"I didn't stutter! Your girlfriend does!"
"…" Sasuke got up along with Hinata and stabbed the man with a kunai. He left the restaurant without leaving the money they own to the building. Kakashi and Kurenai got up without noticing their waiter carrying a large tray. While walking outside to follow Sasuke and Hinata, Kakashi accidentally bumped into their waiter and everything fell.
"Oh. Sorry," he said and followed Kurenai. Then the waiter felt something near his shoulder. He turns his head and sees a large foot next to him. The waiter looks up to see his boss glaring at him.
"You dropped all of the food everyone prepared. That means you have to pay for that."
"Ugh…."
On the way home, everyone stopped and looked at Sasuke and Hinata. Some were about to laugh while others were completely confused. They passed Ino's Flower Shop and Shikamaru saw them. He couldn't believe what he saw this time. Shikamaru called for Ino again, but then she ignored it because of what happened early in the day.
Before Gai and Lee spotted them, Sasuke heard their conversation.
"So I have to fell then land on men and tell them that I read perverted books about women, including that I am only interested in them?" Lee asked.
"Yes! Youthful perverted books about youthful women! It works! Ask Sasuke over there!" Gai said. Then they froze.
"What happened to your youth?" they both asked. Sasuke ignored it and passed by them.
The next person that saw them was Chouji. He stared at the marshmallows on them. Chouji licks his lips and finishes the chip bag.
"Are you going to eat those?" he asked. Sasuke glared and passed by him. "Can you save the marshmallows and give it to me the next time?" Chouji asked.
The next person to see them was Anko.
"Ah…. Did you two get into a little sticky situation that involves marshmallows stuffed in Hinata's face?" Anko asked. Sasuke glared at the purple-haired woman while underneath the cover of the sweet, Hinata blushed.
Then they were spotted by Asuma.
"I remembered those days when I was your age, but kind of older," he said. Then he leaned in closer and whispered to Sasuke's ear, "Don't worry. If Hinata had her cycle, the baby and her will be fine." Sasuke pushed Asuma away from him and walked passed him.
Crazy kids. Pretty soon girls are going to be pregnant before they reach age twelve. Great, Ino is going to be pregnant soon, Asuma thought.
Sasuke had enough of everyone thinking some dirty thoughts or wrong mishaps about them. He picks up Hinata and carries her bridal style. He jumps onto a tree branch and sees Kakashi and Kurenai next to him.
"…..Hi Sasuke," Kurenai said.
"Yo," Kakashi said.
He stared at his sensei. They stopped taking their notes and stared at him too. The two jounins were about to laugh at them. Behind Kakashi and Kurenai there was a huge bag.
"…What are you doing Kakashi-senesei?" Sasuke asked.
"Just resting on top of a tree branch." Kakashi said as he pulled out a red colored book. Then he ignored them and jumped to another tree. He looked behind him and the two jounins had disappeared. What he didn't notice was that the adults were a branch higher than Sasuke was. He jumps down to the tree, puts Hinata down, and walks inside the Hyuga gates. Every single Hyuga (except Neji) watch Sasuke and Hinata walk to the door.
I have never been this embarrassed in my life, Hinata thought as she heard giggles from her family members.
"Hinata? What the heck happened?" Hanabi asked.
"She can't talk." Sasuke said. Both of them passed Hinata's little sister and knocked the door. The raven-haired boy gulped. What will Hinata's father think about this?
The door was fully opened and Sasuke stared at Hiashi. Hinata's face was almost full of harden marshmallows. It covered her chin up to her nose and spreaded to her cheeks. Then he looked at the fingers pinching his daughter's cheek. Hiashi slowly moved his head to see Sasuke's blank expression. They stayed in that pose for about a few minutes until Hiashi said something.
"….Hinata."
"Y-yesh?"
"Next time when you and the Uchiha go out, I am coming."
Entry 8
Your cheeks… So soft and warm. Even though you were covered, your cheeks still felt warm. I wish that one day I could tell how soft it is and the warmth of them.
Sasuke closed the book and started to reminisce.
It took a few minutes to take out the marshmallows from Hinata's face and Sasuke's hand. All they had to do was melt it. Then, something hit Sasuke.
I could have used my fire ball jutsu.
