Hinata is not as shy in my story, she only stutters when she's embarrassed or flustered.
Sasuke might seem a little out of character but only around Hinata.
Enjoy, Please review.
**There's a time skip in this chapter
Two Years later...
Hinata smiled excitedly as she arrived at the gates of Konoha University. Some how she managed to convince her father that Katon University just wasn't worth it anymore. It was full of snooty stuck up rich kids who thought they were better than everyone. She would rather be with her friends then be surrounded by people like that. The vibes just didn't sit well with her. So after many months of convincing, her father agreed to let her switch schools on the codition that she graduate on the top of her class. Easy enough.
As she entered the school she was blown away by the size of the campus. It was twice as big as Katon, and everyone seemed genuinely happy. It seemed there were many activities available, unlike katon. But more importantly she ached to see her friends. She made her way to the office to meet with an advisor and create her schedule. After, she was assigned a welcome buddy to show her around campus and help her settle. A girl with blonde hair and green eyes bounded up to her outside the office.
"Hey welcome to Konoha University! My name is Ami and I'll be showing you around!" She said.
"Nice to meet you, My name is Hinata." Hinata replied.
"Come on we got a lot of ground to cover!" Ami replied and began walking off.
Hinata followed quickly after her.
Ami showed her the many different buildings and labs, there was even a student center with a game room and Tvs and other activities. There was a huge gym, and an Olympic sized swimming pool. They finally arrived near the dorms.
"Do you know where you'll be staying?" Ami asked.
"Um..The West wing I think.." Hinata mused.
"Have you thought about any clubs or sororities you'd like to join? Did they have at your old school?" Ami asked.
Hinata suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. How many questions would this girl ask?
"I haven't thought about any clubs yet, maybe swimming if anything because I like to swim, and they didn't have much at my school. And most of the sororities/fraternities there were based on who had more money. Not my scene." Hinata responded.
"Wow. Sounds like Katon." Ami said.
"It was."
"Wow well you made the right choice transferring here! Let me tell you about some of these clubs, This fraternity is called Roku, she said pointing to a traditional looking building. They are very much into martial arts and Kendo." Ami said.
Ami prattled on about all of the different clubs and groups as they moved along. There had to be almost 50 different groups here! Hinata noticed a huge building that was slightly bigger than all of the ones they saw so far. It had the japanese Kanji for fire on the front. Ami walked right past it.
"Um Ami-san?" Hinata spoke.
Ami stopped and turned towards Hinata.
Hinata pointed to the huge mansion-like home. "What about that one?"
"Oh that one? Well those are the rookies, they came here last year and became the most popular people on campus. But their group is tight knit no one has been able to join the group. That's why I walked past because there;s no way you wouldve been able to get in." Ami said. Her eyes moved to someone behind them.
"Don't look to fast, but there's one of them right there." Ami said.
Hinata spun around.
"I said don't look to fast now he's coming this way! That's Naruto Uzumaki! He's one of the leaders along with Sasuke Uchiha, Do not mess with them!" Ami exclaimed frantically.
Hinata's eyes widened and her heart began to race.
"What?"
"Hinata-chan is that you?" Naruto said.
Hinata froze.
"You too know each other?" Ami asked in Disbelief.
"Know each other? We grew up together!" Naruto said as he slung his arm around a tomato faced Hinata.
Hinata nodded in confirmation.
"Wow well so much for not getting in. Any way I guess my job is done here." Ami said.
"Thank you for everything!" Hinata said as she was dragged away by Naruto.
"Come on lets go tell the others!" Naruto said.
He burst the doors of the Rookies house open.
"I come Bearing GIFTS!" He shouted.
Everyone just groaned.
"This better be goo-" Sakura stopped as she noticed the blue-haired figure trying to hide behind Naruto.
"Is that Hinata?!" Sakura asked jumping up.
Hinata poked her head out from behind Naruto.
"Hello everyone." She said.
"Hinata! What are you doing here?" Neji said.
"I just tranfered here today." Hinata.
"That's amazing! The band's back together! Tenten cheered.
They all proceeded to hug her until she toppeled over and they fell on top of her.
"Tch. Idiots." Sasuke said from his seat on the couch.
He stepped over everyone and reached his hand out to Hinata.
"Welcome to the Rookies Hyuga." Sasuke said with a smirk on his face.
Hinata took his hand.
"Thank you." She said softly with a blush on her face.
"Well we need to celebrate!" Ino said. She runs into the kitchen and pulls out 2 bottles of liquor and some cups.
She poured out a shot for everyone.
"Now our circle is complete! To forever!" Ino said
"To forever!"everyone else cried and took the shot. Then everyone cheered and proceeded to hug Hinata again.
Sasuke just leaned against a wall and watched them. This was perfect. Now that she was here there was nothing that could stop him now from making Hinata his. Naruto was too much of an Idiot and didn't deserve her. Hinata was perfection, and he would settle for nothing less.
The next two days were spent helping Hinata move in all her belongings and setting up her room. Each person had their own room in the house. Finally classes started and she hoped that her professors weren't as rigorous as the ones at Katon. It turns out the Professors at KU were nothing like Katon. In fact, they were insane. Each professor she had so far were either crazy or creepy or eccentric to the point where it should be illegal.
She walked into her last class for the and looked around for a seat. There had to be like 60 people in this class! Finally she spotted familiar dark locks sitting in the back of the room. As if feeling her eye on him, Sasuke looked up as saw Hinata standing there. He motioned to the empty seat beside him and she hurriedly moved to sit. Sasuke fought to suppress his smirk. It seemed Kami was working in his favor.
"Hey Sasuke-san! It's nice to know someone in at least one of my classes." Hinata said.
"Just Sasuke."
"What?" Hinata asked.
"we're friends right? Call me Sasuke, no 'san' " Sasuke said.
"I'm sorry, of course Sasuke." Hinata said with a smile on her face.
Sasuke allowed the smirk to grace his features.
"So have you taken Professor Hatake before?" Hinata asks.
"Yeah. He's always late so you don't have to worry about getting here on time everyday." Sasuke responded.
"Oh ok." Hinata said.
True enough, The Professor walked in 30 mins later.
He had gray hair and wore a mask that covered the bottom half of his face. Hinata looked at Sasuke who just shrugged.
"Good Afternoon class. Clear your desks we are going to have a pop quiz." Kakashi said.
"What?!" the students yelled.
Even Hinata looked shocked but Sasuke didn't even seem disturbed in the slightest.
"Don't worry, this is just how he separates the weak from the strong and ive seen your marks in school you'll be fine." Sasuke said to Hinata.
That seemed to visibly calm her a bit.
Professor began handing out the quiz. Upon reaching Sasuke and Hinata he nodded at Sasuke.
"Sasuke."
"Kakashi." Sasuke responded.
Hinata looked at the two of them quizzically before she decided to file it under the "I don't even want to know" category.
Kakashi turned to Hinata. "Welcome to Konoha University Hinata, I hope you enjoy your time here."
Ignoring Sasuke's glare and placing the quiz on her desk he walked away before Hinata could ask how he already knew who she was.
They finished the quiz and then Kakashi let them out for the day since it was the first class.
"So what are you doing now?" Sasuke asked.
"Well I was going to just go back to the house since I'm done for the ?" Hinata responded.
"I'm kind of hungry, I was going to hit up this this Soba spot off-campus. You want to come?" Sasuke asked.
"Um sure why not?" Hinata answered.
Sasuke smirked.
They were walking towards the parking lot when a female bounded up to them with some flyers in her hand. She eyed Hinata up and down before turning to Sasuke.
"Are the rookies playing at the winter storm this year?" She asked.
The Winter storm was a huge show they did on campus every year before Christmas break. They called it the Winter storm because there would be campus-wide snowball fight right after.
"Yeah." Sasuke replied.
" How many sets?"
"Give us 3." Sasuke replied.
"Great! Can't wait!" The girl said.
Sasuke then grabbed Hinata and walked off.
They finally arrived at Sasuke's car and Sasuke held the door open for her. Sasuke got in then they went on their way.
"You guys have a band?" Hinata asked.
"Yeah, we were playing around in one of the music rooms on campus and it turns out we're all musically inclined." Sasuke asked.
"Who's in the band?" Asked Hinata.
"Naruto is lead singer and 2nd guitar, I'm on lead guitar, kiba on drums, Neji on Piano and Tenten on bass." He said.
"Wow that's amazing! Naruto can really sing?" Hinata asked with a blush on her face.
Sasuke frowned but responded nonetheless.
"Yeah he's great actually." Sasuke said.
"That's just soo cool." Hinata said.
"I sing too but I just never liked being front and center. So I write most of the songs." Sasuke quickly added.
"Really? You have to let me read some of them! You must be really good!" Hinata said excitedly.
"Yeah, well I'm a man of many talents." Sasuke responded with a smirk and winked at Hinata.
Hinata blushed. Was Sasuke flirting with her? No she was probably imagining things. He is being awfully nice though.
They finally pulled up to the restaurant and went inside. They ordered their food and sat in silence for a few minutes until Hinata spoke up.
"Why are being so nice to me? I know we're friends but we weren't all that...close I mean...Never mind.." Hinata said
She didn't want to sound mean or anything or make it seem like she didn't appreciate his kindness.
Sasuke took a sip of his water and looked back at Hinata. The question surprised him honestly, although he knew exactly the reason he was acting the way he was he couldn't tell her that just yet.
"Is it so wrong to try to get to know my friends better?" Sasuke responded with a fake look of hurt.
"No!N-no T-that's not what I meant I did not mean to offend you! I'm sorry Sasuke!" Hinata sputtered.
"It's Fine." Sasuke said.
"No it isn't I should have not questioned your motives. And If it's ok with you, I'd like to get to know you better as well." Hinata said with a small smile.
Hook, Line and Sinker.
Sasuke let a small smile escape.
"That's good to hear, I'm looking forward to knowing you better." Sasuke said.
Hinata blushed. Sasuke had such a nice smile. It made her wonder why he didn't do it more often. Wait why was she thinking such things? She shook the thoughts away and they continued their meal.
Later that night...
The sound of incessant knocking broke her concentration as she worked on one of her assignments. She opened her bedroom door to reveal Ino, Sakura and Tenten all clad in their pajamas and snacks in hand. This could only mean one thing.
"SLUMBER PARTY!" the girls shouted and entered the room.
The girls informed Hinata of all the things that happened while she was away. Then Ino clapped her hands.
"Alright lets get down to the dirty dirt!" She said.
"The what?" Hinata asked.
"Rumor has it you went on a date with Sasuke today is it true?" Ino asked.
Hinata blushed and sputtered. "N-No! No it wasn't like that. We had the same class and then went out for dinner after that's all!"
Meanwhile...
The guys were in the game room in an intense game of Air hockey. Sasuke was facing off with Naruto.
"They've been going at it for 5 minutes straight!" Kiba exclaimed.
"Well you know how competative they get." Chouji said.
"So Sasuke." Naruto stared.
"What is it loser?" Sasuke responded.
"I heard you went on a date with Hinata today." Naruto said.
CLUNK
In went the puck giving Naruto the Win.
"Yeah!" Naruto yelled.
"Woah woah woah what's this about taking my cousin out?" Neji said.
"It wasn't a date, we had the same class together and we were both hungry so we went to get food. I swear you guys run with every rumor." Sasuke said rolling his eyes.
"So it wasn't a date then?" Naruto said.
"No it wasn't asshole." Sasuke said, clearly upset about the loss.
The mere mention of the Hyuga female's name caused him to lose focus for that one split second.
Naruto looked at him quizzically then shrugged his shoulders.
"Fine then, Rematch?!" Naruto asked.
"No I'm tired." Sasuke said making his way up the stairs toward his room leaving a bunch of confused guys downstairs.
Soon enough they started up their game again.
As Sasuke walked down the long hallway he heard the sound of females giggling. Sasuke rolled his eyes. Girls and their slumber parties.
"So tell us about your day with Sasuke!" He heard one of them squeal. Probably Sakura. He stopped in his tracks to hear Hinata's response. He was never one to eavesdrop but he couldn't help it.
"Guys it's not that big of a deal just two friends going out for dinner. We just talked and he says he wants to get to know me better since we never really did back in the day." Hinata responded.
All the other girls squealed.
"Maybe he likes you!" Ino suggested.
"Yeah right, why would he like me?" Hinata almost whispered.
Sasuke had half a mind to barge in there and show her how much he wanted her. But it was too soon.
"What do you mean? You're gorgeous!" Tenten added.
"Yeah and you're super smart and talented." Sakura said.
"That's really sweet of you guys, but I don't think he would like me and besides...I..like someone else." Hinata said.
Sasuke's stomach twisted at that. He knew very well who she was talking about but it didn't change the fact that it bothered him greatly.
"Who?!" Sakura asked.
"Promise you guys won't tell?" Hinata said nervously twiddling her thumbs.
"Who are we gonna tell, each other? Now spill!" Ino said.
"It's N-N-"
"Naruto?!" Ino finished for her.
Ino and Tenten threw their heads back in laughter.
"For a second there we thought you meant someone else. We know about your crush everyone does, except the idiot himself!" Tenten said.
"Was I really that obvious?" Hinata asked.
"You damn near used to stalk him in middle school!" Ino exclaimed.
Hinata blushed.
"But it's ok! He's a great guy we'll help you get with him! Right girls?" Ino said with a thumbs up.
"Right!" Tenten said.
They turned to Sakura who was looking the other way and playing with a strand of her bubble gum hair.
"What's wrong Sakura?" Ino asked.
"Um actually...I have a confession." She mumbled.
"What is it?"
"Um..I'm really sorry...Hinata...but Naruto isnt...available..." Sakura said slowly.
Hinata's heart dropped. She should have expected this. Maybe if she came with the rest of the group maybe she would have had a chance.
"Wait you and Naruto?!" Ino shrieked.
"Why didn't you tell anyone?" Tenten said.
"It sorta just happened. We haven't told anyone yet, not even Sasuke knows." Sakura explained.
Well he knows now. Sasuke silently cheered. With Naruto no longer a threat this should make things much easier.
"I'm so sorry Hinata-chan I didn't mean to hurt you!" Sakura apologized.
"It's ok Sakura-chan. I just hope you two are happy, and that is all that can't help who you fall in love with." Hinata said.
Although she was disappointed, she would not show it. As long as Naruto was happy then she would be too.
"Thank you Hina-chan!" Sakura said pulling the flustered girl into a hug.
"At least now you can have Sasuke all to your self! Tenten Joked.
The girls laughed at the ever growing blush on Hinata's face.
Sasuke smirked as he walked away from the girls room into his own.
Everything was falling into place.
