Yukina and the group were back to lazing on the beach when, "SASUKE-KUUN!" Yukina turned her head to watch Sasuke get mulled by a pink haired girl. But what surprised her more was when that the girl kissed him and he didn't even push her away.

"I missed you!" she cooed setting herself on his lap, "Sakura, I'm not your boyfriend." Yukina sighed slightly making sure no one noticed. "Aww…but Sasuke kun!" god Sasuke thought this girl was annoying but whenever he tried to push her away she came back stronger so he thought he'd just ignore her until she left just like every other girlfriend he's had.

No one noticed when Yukina stood up walking away from the scene. She didn't know why she felt sick like she wanted to throw up, but at the same time she felt so angry she wanted to hit something, but also she felt hurt and sad like she wanted to break down and cry.

Yukina let all these emotions run wild in her head until finally the anger won, as a result her fist collided hard with a coconut tree.

She gritted her teeth as she felt her knuckles crack from the force and felt the warm trickle of blood sliding down her hand. Yukina stared at the red liquid in her hand her usually bright violet eyes were cold and emotionless. 'Why? Why me? Why do I feel this way?' all the questions made her head hurt and it didn't help she had her period so her stomach was trying to punch her brain for thinking so hard.

In the end she decided to head back to the cabin.

Opening the bedroom door Yukina collapsed on her bed clutching her stomach and groaning. She had taken pills but it didn't help. She decided to try and nap a bit when the door opened, Yukina didn't bother opening her eyes since she knew it was probably Sasuke. She stupidly recalled the image of Sasuke and Sakura on the beach and instinctively tucked her right hand under herself, the one she punched the coconut tree with it, she had bandaged it up but it still felt sore.

Unfortunately for her Sasuke noticed the bandage and instantly grabbed her hand to inspect it.

"What the hell happened to your hand?"

"I punched a coconut tree."

"What? Why?"

"To see if coconuts would fall out."

"You are a terrible liar."

"Who said I was lying?"

"I did."

"Well I never asked you to care!" Sasuke was shocked Yukina never sounded that harsh, he stared as she pulled her hand back and rolled over so her back faced him.

"Yukina what's wrong?" he sat on the edge of the bed, leaning over to see her face but she ignored him and buried her face in her pillow hand still on her stomach.

"Yukina stop acting like a brat and tell me."

"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Sasuke didn't expect her to yell or shove him but that's what she did, and he fell on the floor.

Sasuke watched as Yukina curled herself up into a ball, he sighed and got off the floor to lie on his bed. Looking at the girl once again his eyes widened when he noticed her body shaking and curling up even tighter, he listened carefully to hear quiet sobbing sounds coming from her.

"Angel, why are you crying? Tell me." He coaxed gently trying not to force the answer out of her. "It-It hurts… my stomach aces so-so bad!" Sasuke almost couldn't hear her voice through her quiet sobs.

Yukina curled up even more trying to numb the pain in her stomach, when she felt a soft weight on her bed. Sasuke gently curled his arm around her waist pulling her back to his chest, whilst moving the hand that was clutching her stomach. Yukina was about to whine in protest until she felt his hand squeezing and gently pressing her abdomen, it hurt a little at first but the pain slowly subsided and she relaxed into his comforting touch.

(A couple of hours later.)

Sasuke woke up and looked at the sleeping girl in front of him his arm still around her waist. There were still tearstains on her pale cheeks.

'You're gonna have to tell her sooner or later.' A voice in his head taunted.

'Tell her what?'

'That you like her.'

'Tch, as if, what could I possibly like about this klutz?'

'She didn't judge you on your past, she's sweet and kind to everyone; even you and she's not at all creepy like every one of your fan girls plus she's cute.'

'Yukina and cute don't even belong in the same sentence.'

'Don't say that you think she isn't even a little attractive to you.'

Sasuke looked down at Yukina who had turned to face him still asleep. She shivered slightly and cuddled closer to his warm body, her face was peaceful and calm there was even a small hint of a smile on her face.

'Fine maybe she's just a little cute.'

'So you'll have to admit your feelings to her soon before some other guy comes along and snatches her away.'

The thought of that made Sasuke's blood boil and his arm curl tighter around Yukina's small waist. He pulled the sleeping girl closer to him possessively.

"Mmm… Sasuke?" he heard Yukina groan as she rubbed the sleepiness out of her eyes, "I'm right here angel." He replied when the sleepy girl looked up at him and smiled her sweet smile.

Sasuke felt the annoyingly pleasant butterflies in his stomach start to stir as Yukina snuggled up closer to him.

'Well I guess I'll just admit it now… I have completely fallen for Sasuke Uchiha.'

Yukina wasn't as stubborn as Sasuke so it was easy for her to admit her feelings for him, even if she wouldn't say it out loud. Right now just being close to him was enough for her. He was the only one who knew about her past, the only one who held her while she cried and she knew that she was the only one who knew about the tender gentle part of Sasuke hidden beneath the cold exterior.

(Dinnertime; in the kitchen.)

Yukina and Hinata were cooking in the kitchen, while Gaara and Tanoshi tried to keep Naruto away from as he put it, 'tasting' the food.

"Yukina can you please call Sasuke in for dinner?"

"Sure Hinata where is he?"

"Outside."

Yukina wiped her hands clean and headed for the porch. Opening the door she looked around but what she saw made her heart shatter.

Sasuke and Sakura were kissing on the porch her arms were around his neck while his were on her waist. Sasuke parted with her when he thought he heard the door open and saw Yukina standing there. "What do you want Yukina?" he asked his voice was so cold Yukina shivered, "um… the food is ready."

"Can't you see we're a little busy here bitch?" Sakura said smugly.

"Better a bitch than a hoe."

Sakura gasped at Yukina's retort, watching as the pale blonde walked back inside. "Well now that the bitch is gone; where were we? Sasuke-kun…" she trailed off at Sasuke's cold terrifying glare. "Don't ever call Yukina that again." He hissed Sakura stepped back terrified at his murderous tone.

Sasuke turned around to head inside, leaving Sakura burning with embarrassment and jealousy. When he walked in he noticed Yukina wasn't eating with the others, in fact she wasn't even downstairs. Without a word he climbed the stairs to his room, opening the door to find Yukina curled up on her bed.

"What is it now? Does your stomach hurt again?" he didn't get an answer. Yukina just stared blankly at the wall refusing to look at him. "angel?" he asked moving his hand to brush the hair from her face but she swatted it away.

"Fine." He sighed and got off the bed closing the door behind him when he left. When Yukina heard the soft click of the door she broke down sobbing, she didn't like this feeling at all she hated it. 'I'm such an idiot I knew he didn't like me and yet I…' Yukina didn't even want to finish the thought because it hurt too much.

(The next day)

Yukina had decided to go for a walk to clear her head Sasuke wasn't in the cabin so she assumed he had gone to see his girlfriend. She couldn't help but feel a bit bitter at the thought.

"Oi! Yukina!"

Yukina looked around to see Deidara walking over to her, she never actually talked to the older boy but she knew him by name, considering the fact that he was the biggest player in school.

"So what's a pretty girl like you doing out here?"

"Trying to avoid guys like you, but guess my luck ran out."

Deidara chuckled at Yukina's retort, "cute and funny so who you trying to avoid?"

"Sasuke."

"Uchiha?"

"Who else?"

Deidara laughed again and smiled at Yukina who was also smirking. "You know what? you're cool for a girl, c'mon let's go grab an ice cream and you can tell me about Sasuke."

"Sure on the condition that you keep the sexist comments to yourself."

"Deal."

They both headed towards the ice cream cart talking and laughing.

(With Sasuke)

Sasuke was walking along the beach in a worse mood than usual he was dragged around by Sakura to go shopping, damn that girl just wouldn't give up.

He sighed rubbing the back of his sore neck, and to top it all off Yukina for some reason still seemed pissed at him. Sasuke walked a little further until he passed an ice cream cart, it wasn't the sight of ice cream that was making him go mad it was the sight of Deidara with his, yes his Yukina.

Yukina's p.o.v

I'm the worst person in the world; I take pleasure in other people's suffering, on second thought screw it! I was never a saint to begin with.

I was relieved to be laughing again; surprisingly Deidara's stories about how he broke every girl's heart when he was in elementary school were quite entertaining.

"And she ran home crying!" me and Deidara both laughed, hey! I'm allowed to act like a monster when life's a bitch. Deidara actually listened when I started raging about what a dick Sasuke was and how I couldn't believe I liked him, "That ass running off with another girl behind your back."

"Like you're one to talk." I reminded him.

"I just don't get the deal with all these mixed signals."

"You and me both Deidara." I sighed. I still liked Sasuke I couldn't deny that but he was so… so confusing sometimes. He's nice one minute and then just completely ices over, is he bipolar or something?

"Um… Yukina don't look now but dickhead is coming over and he doesn't look too happy."

Before I could turn around I felt Sasuke grab my arm, I knew it was Sasuke from the instant butterflies in my stomach. I looked back to see Deidara smiling and waving us off, I swear when I get my hands on him!

My murder schemes were interrupted when Sasuke spoke, "WHAT THE HELL YUKINA?" sorry did I say spoke? I meant yelled.

"I'm not deaf you don't have to yell."

"Oh thank god that would mean you're just dumb!" his sarcastic tune was annoying me, that's my tune buster!

"Is there a point to this argument or is this just our regular morning yelling?"

"The point was what were you doing with Deidara acting like a complete whore?" A WHORE? DID HE JUST CALL ME A WHORE?

My mind was too preoccupied to register what my body just did. I blinked to see Sasuke's head turned to the side his cheek slightly red, and my arm raised. I figured that I had just slapped him, when he turned to look at me his dark eyes were cold.

We just stood there staring at each other the silence was tense, say something dammit yell, hit me back… on second thought don't do that, but just don't look at me like that. His dark eyes bore into my violet ones I was silently praying that he'd glare or get mad or something, some kind of reaction.

After what felt like hours he reached his hand reached up and caress my cheek, his thumb wiped away tears I didn't know were there. The sadness I felt turned to anger quickly and swatted his hand away, I hated that he could play with my emotions so easily.

"Is this some kind of sick game to you? One minute you're so kind and sweet and the next you just push me away, is playing with my feelings really that fun for you? Do you enjoy watching me confused and frustrated? ANSWER ME DAMMIT!" I yelled, panting heavily all that weight was gone.

"Angel," I froze when I felt his breath on my cheek, his face was so close and was moving closer, my mind went blank when I felt his lips on mine it was pure bliss until he pulled away. I watched as he walked back to the cabin, my fingers brushed the skin where his lips had been, dammit now I'm even more confused what the hell did that kiss even mean?
