Suteneko: Thanks for all your reviews! You guys are great!

Sasuke: You'd better ut more NaruSasu in here...

Suteneko: I will! Now do the disclaimer!

Sasuke: Suteneko does not own Naruto.


Once Naruto told the whole story, Hinata was looking at him in utter disbelief.

"Wow…"

"Yeah…" Naruto agreed

"So the Uchiha can't train until next month?"

"Yup"

"He's going to be REALLY bored."

"Yeah and it's she" Naruto corrected.

"Right, right she. Damn! I don't think I can handle one whole month of doing nothing!"

"Me either." Naruto agreed.

Just then, Naruto's stomach grumbled.

Hinata giggled, "Hungry?"

Naruto looked up to see his clock.

"Damn! It's this late?"

Hinata smiled and got up from her seat on the couch.

"How about I cook for you? Besides, I'm hungry too."

"Alright, you know where everything is."

Hinata nodded and made her way to the mini-kitchen Naruto had in his home. Naruto watched her go, his eyes soon landing on the demon mark she had on her lower left back, just above the hemline of the jean shorts she wore. The tattoo-like mark was a picture of two dragons swirling around each other. (Picture on profile, a must see!)

The Demon Mark. The mark proving that you are a jinchuuriki who has chosen to sign a contract with the demon that resided in them but in return they would be given the mark as well as full access to their chakra and the ability to speak to them at will.

Naruto himself had one, his covering his entire back. It was like a tattoo, his mark was a picture of the Kyuubi itself. It was beautiful Naruto had to admit but a real pain in the ass when he has to use up his chakra to do a genjutsu to hide it when he's around the others. Around Hinata, he didn't have to since she was a jinchuuriki as well.

One day, Hinata was badly injured on of her missions and stayed in a cave to tend to her wounds. The cave actually housed a dragon demon. It was dying and needed a host. Hinata being the kind soul that she was offered herself to be the host. That was when she was 10 years old. As far as Naruto knew, Hinata had never used her jinchuuriki powers on a mission. He had seen her practice with her powers and sparred with her using them but never on a mission. When he asked, she said it was because she never found an opponent that pushed her into that kind of limit.

Suddenly, Hinata spoke up causing Naruto to snap back to reality.

"Naruto, why are you staring at my ass?"

Naruto rolled his eyes, "It's not your ass; it's your demon mark I'm staring at."

"Why? Is there something wrong with it?"

"No, I'm just relieving memories."

Hinata frowned, "You've been spacing a lot today"

"I'm fine, really" he assured her.

Hinata frowned even more and went over to where Naruto was; she bent down so that their faces were just inches apart.

"You know you promised to tell me whatever that is troubling you right away right?" she asked him softly.

Naruto sighed, "Yes, I know."

"Then what's wrong?"

Naruto looked up at her and right into her eyes. Her lilac violet eyes not the white ones that had a tinge of lavender to them which she was born with.

"I can't help but think about you. That time when you went into trauma because of your eyes-"

"Haruno right? You remembering it because of her."

"Yeah…its just-"

Hinata wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck, hugged him and laid her head on Naruto's, "Damn it Naruto, how many times have I told you that you couldn't stop what happened to me?"

Naruto sighed.

About 6 moths ago, the Hyuuga had decided that Hinata would be disowned but they were afraid that is she happened to die in battle, she would give away their clan's secrets. But she was far too old to have the curse seal put on her so they did the alternative. They replaced her eyes which was an old method the Hyuugas has used on their weak Main House members in the old days. Hinata was forced into it; they drugged her and performed the operation while she was out. When she awoke, she found herself in an alley with a bag filled with all her belongings beside her.

Flashback

"Hinata?"

Hinata turned to see Naruto.

"Naruto! Do you know where I am?"

But Hinata didn't get answer from him because Naruto was staring at her in utter confusion.

"What's wrong?"

"What's up with your eyes?"

"What do you mean?"

"Their normal, and purple in color."

Hinata's eyes widened, "Oh god…Naruto do you have a mirror?"

Naruto shook his head and Hinata made a beeline for her bag. She pulled out a small handheld mirror and stared at her reflection.

"I've been disowned…my eyes….this shouldn't have happened…now…I-"

Hinata screamed, scaring Naruto.

"HINATA?"

He ran over to her and took her by the shoulders, "Hinata! What's wrong?"

Hinata couldn't answer, she was hyperventilating. Naruto immediately rushed her to the hospital. It took 3 months for Hinata to recover. In all that time, Naruto was afraid for her. He had never seen her like that before, so frail, so fragile, so broken in his entire life. He was angry too; he wanted to massacre the bloody clan who did that to her but he didn't because if he did, it wouldn't have helped Hinata at all.

End of Flashback

"Hinata?"

"Hmm?"

"I smell smoke."

Hinata eyes widened in alarm and rushed back to the kitchen, "Crap! I forgot I was still cooking!"

Naruto laughed, "Guess its pizza huh?"


The next day, Sasuke was dragged out of the house by Kakashi.

"Why do I have to go for some stupid lunch get to together with the Konoha 12 & the Sand Siblings?"

"Because it's high time, you start going. You'll get lazy if you mope around in your house all day."

Sasuke glared at her teacher but before she could say anything else, she heard Naruto's voice.

"Sasuke?"

Sasuke looked up to see everyone starring at her.

"Why are you here? I thought you hate social functions?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke stepped hard on Kakashi's foot, making him let go of her arm.

"I do but this stupid pervert dragged me here."

Naruto grinned, "But then that means you'll get to have lunch with us!"

Sasuke frowned, "No way."

Naruto pouted, "Come on Sasuke! Just eat with us! It's the sensei who has to pay!"

Sasuke frowned even more at his persuasion, "No."

Suddenly, Sasuke noticed a creamy white hand snake itself around Naruto's arm, "Forget her Naruto, she obviously doesn't want to come. Leave that antisocialist alone and let's have our lunch."

Sasuke's eyes twitched, I'm not going to lose…

She pulled Naruto away from Ino's grip so that he was standing next to her.

"On second thought, I'll stay."

Ino scowled and Sasuke glared.

Naruto however was happy, "Really?"

Sasuke nodded, still glaring.

"That's great Sasuke!"


Inside the restaurant

Sasuke was very displeased to find out that she had to share a table with the other kuniochi; Ino, Hinata, Tenten & Temari and not with Naruto.

Ino was wearing a purple halter top and a stone washed blue jean skirt. She wore a set of purple bangles on her left hand and purple sandals on her feet.

Hinata was dressed in a light blue tank top, a jean jacket and drainpipe jeans. She wore blue sandals that matched her shirt on her feet.

Tenten was wearing a red Chinese blouse and low rise dark jeans. On her feet, she wore red sandals and on her left hand, a simple wristwatch.

Temari was wearing a light purple kimono style top and dark jean shorts, she wore matching sandals on her feet.

Sasuke herself wore a dark blue sleeveless shirt, a black cardigan, a pair of dark skinny jeans, black boots and her Uchiha symbol necklace.

"Hey Sasuke?"

"What is it Yamanaka?" Sasuke answered rudely.

Ino frowned, "I just have to ask one thing…"

"What?"

"Do you like Naruto?"

Sasuke stiffened.

"You do don't you?"

"What makes you say that?" Sasuke finally asked.

"Call it a girl's intuition. So do you?"

"What does it matter to you?"

"Because I like him and I'm not going to lose him to someone like you."

Sasuke's eye twitched, "And what's wrong with me?"

"There are so many things Sasuke! We could even make a list! You want it in chronological order or alphabetical?"

Sasuke's twitched again.

THIS BLONDE BITCH IS PISSING ME OFF!
