"Oh this is where you were, Hinata." Neji smiled, walking towards me. "Neji!" It felt like a while since I'd seen his face. Relieved, I ran to him. "Huh? Hinata, were you wearing perfume today? Something smells good." "...!" I didn't smell anything since I was breathing with my mouth open. But now, I actually realized that Uzumaki was wearing perfume! "Y-You must be mistaken, Neji." He looked at me curiously. "I wonder...oh?" "What is it?" "What happened to that?" I looked at him confusingly. "What do you mean by that?" Neji pointed at my neck. "You know, the necklace Uzumaki gave you went you started to train with him for the very first time." "Oh!" I touched my neck after Neji pointed it out. 'It's not there. I lost it!' The necklace I got from Uzumaki when I started training with him! 'It was perfect for this kind of dress...sort of.' I looked on the floor but couldn't find the necklace. 'Oh no. I must've lost it in that fuss.' Ah, I'm so out of luck today. I decided to forget it and grab Neji's hand. "Let us be on our way now." I sighed lightly. "Are you sure? It was precious, wasn't it?" I checked the floor again and nodded at Neji. "It wasn't exactly precious, it was just chains. But, it's alright." And that was how we left. I didn't know then...that I would have such a relationship...with the guy who got me in such a mess.

-The Next Day-

...

I took a big breath in my living room, smelling the wonderful air coming from the window I opened not to long ago. Sipping some tea, I looked at the table, thinking about what happened last night. Today was my sixth day of training and it starts in one minute. Uzumaki knocked on the door, shouting. "Hey, Hyuga! We're here!" What does he mean by 'We'? I opened the door to see Sasuke and Uzumaki at the door. "Uh, hi." I greeted nervously. They ran past me and stopped in front of the living room. "Well, nice to meet you too." I closed the door and walked towards Uzumaki. "What's Sasuke doing here?" "Well, I decided to give you a partner to train with since you can't beat me." "Are you calling her weak?" Sasuke glared at Uzumaki. "You know she's trying her best, right?" "I know, I know. I was playing around." Uzumaki rolled his eyes at him. I was too busy trying to open the last window in my house, this was a tough one. I could barely open it, I could get it up to an inch and that's it. Normally, I would give up and train without that window being open, but I will try what ever it takes, even if I break it. Finally, It flew open. "Aargh!" Surprised, I staggered. As I fell, a pair of strong arms saved me...the arms belonged to was..."Uzumaki?!" "?" I didn't want to run into him already. And in front of Sasuke. "L-Let me go, please!" I stuttered. "Oh, sorry." His arms let go instantly. As I stood there startled, Uzumaki stared at me and...said something without emotion. "You should ask for help next time, you know." "S-Sorry." I mumbled. "So are we going to start training or are you two lovebirds are going to stare at each other for the rest of the day?" Sasuke interrupted with a sigh. "Let's start training then." I ran towards the rug. Uzumaki ran after and went across from me. "Alright, good." Sasuke went besides me and said, "Ready?" I nodded, and glared at Naruto, who had no expression whatsoever. "Then let's go."

...

Basically, neither of us won. It was a tie, we decided to call it a day and relax for a while. Sasuke sat next to me and whispered, "Are you really in love with Naruto?" I widen my eyes and turned my face to him. "W-What do you mean, Sasuke?" "Because, I like you." He confessed. "I want to be with you." What he didn't notice was Uzumaki was listening the whole time. "You're really cute, Hinata." With that said, he looked at the time. "Oh, I gotta leave, I'll see you soon." Sasuke walked out of my house slowly. Uzumaki and I were the only people in the house. He sat next to me and mumbled, "Don't go out with him, he's controlling." "Are you criticizing Sasuke?" "No, I'm just protecting you." then, Uzumaki approached me. I choked, his face so close to mine. With him pressing against my face I couldn't move away. 'What on earth!?'

"It's about time you realized...how you make other guys feel." I tried to ask what he meant...but Uzumaki was so overbearing I couldn't say a word. I looked away out of embarrassment. "..." I felt Uzumaki's face closing in on me and I squeezed my eyes shut. I felt his hot breath on my neck...which soon turned into a soft touch. "...No." The next moment...I heard a smack and felt a sharp pain on my neck.

'What!? Could this be...a hickey!?' "H-Hey, Uzumaki!?" I was stunned. And Uzumaki muttered sullenly, the way he usually does. "It's a lucky charm...to keep the scum away, so don't you dare hide it." That said, Uzumaki pushed himself away from me...as if nothing happened. "Huh?" I rushed to check myself in the glass and there it was at my nape, a big red hickey. "W-What am I going to do?" I pulled my shirt up to hide the mark. When I went back to the living room, he was already gone.

I decided to give up and go to sleep.
