-Wakes up and runs hand through hair- Well hey guys! As you can see I'm back. I'm sorry this took... -looks- heh, 3 months.

I really am sorry, but I had so much to do, but I hope I'll be able to get this going quicker.

I have a challenge! For all of you who read this... YOU MUST REVIEW. I'll know, believe me. I don't care if it's a good review or a bad review. I came really close to deleting this story, I need to know if it should still be put up.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto or any of it's characters.


"Eh? Boy in the meadow? What are you talking about?" Deidara tilted his head slightly. "The only thing I do is make clay art."

"... Oh..." Hinata blushed and shook her head. "I-I have to go!" She got up and threw her napkin down on the table, with that she left the restaurant.

She ran down the street, wiping her eyes. Why would it be him? It wouldn't make sense anyway. Though, I was really happy when I thought it was... Maybe I was just excited to meet someone new? He was so strange, but whatever. I'm stuck with Sasuke, so there isn't really much I can do.

Hinata ran to Sasuke's house, as she figured she wouldn't be let into her own. She ran up the stairs and into the bedroom. She flopped on the bed and cried. No, she didn't cry because of Deidara, she was crying because of how badly her life sucked. She didn't get to be with person she loved. She didn't exactly know who she loved at this point. Her fiancé was an asshole. Her dad obviously didn't care about her feelings. Sakura probably hates her by now.

Hinata sat there and cried her heart out. She went as far as punching a pillow, but nothing too violent.

She sat up after a while and laughed. She was crying over nothing, basically. Well, I guess Sasuke isn't that bad. He does seem to care about me...

She got up and wiped her eyes. Hmm, maybe I'll read some books or something. It will probably get my mind off of all this drama.

Hinata grabbed a book and flopped on her bed.

--

Sasuke had seen it all from the time Deidara spoke to when Hinata ran out. He hadn't heard what the asshole said, but he was going to hurt him. He had hurt Hinata, and that wasn't a smart thing to do.

He got up from his post and went right up to Deidara.

"Hey, how can I help you...yeah?" He smiled.

Sasuke pulled back his fist. "What the hell did you do Hinata!?" He asks, hitting Deidara square in the face.

Deidara stumble back. "What? I didn't do anything!"

"Bullshit." Sasuke went for another blow.

"Honestly, I did nothing!" Deidara glared. "She was talking about a guy in a meadow and I told her that I wasn't in a meadow."

Sasuke stopped. "So you weren't him?" He sighed in relief.

"Who? Are all of you crazy?!" Deidara exclaimed as he left the restaurant, complaining about how everyone is this village was messed up.

Sasuke followed after him (after all,he still hurt Hinata), but he was stopped by Tenten who grabbed his arm.

"Dude! What the hell?!" Tenten asked.

"He hurt Hinata, Tenten... I can't let him get away with that." Sasuke glared at the disappearing Deidara.

"Sasuke, what exactly did he do? If it is reasonable I'll let you go, but if it's stupid, I'm going to have to punch you myself." She shook her head at him.

"..."

"Well?!" She asked, glaring.

Sasuke sighed, "Fine, he wasn't the guy in the meadow."

Tenten blinked. "Well, duh, isn't it Naruto?"

"I guess so, but I think she wanted it to be Deidara, or at least expected it."

"That poor girl, she keeps getting let down." Tenten shook her head and punched Sasuke in the shoulder.

"What was that for?!" Sasuke glared at her, fist clenched.

"Calm down. Your reason for hitting him was dumb. I told you I'd hit you if it was." Tenten, shook her head slightly.

"Well, let go! I need to go find her!" Sasuke said getting up.

"Good luck, and Sasuke?"

"Yes, Tenten?"

"Don't screw this up."

"I know."

Sasuke ran, looking around for Hinata. He looked everywhere he could think of, when it finally dawned on him that she could've gone to his house. He sighed to himself for being so dumb and ran to his house as fast he could.

He burst through the door, panting. He ran upstairs to the room and opened the door. "Hinata, you okay?"

--

"Okay, well you see Sasuke saw Hinata run out of the place crying, right?"

"Yeah, and?" Sakura asked. Tenten was relaying to them what had happened.

"Well Sasuke had punched Deidara and Deidara kinda fled, as that's what it looked like from my view. So, what I did was I talked with Sasuke and he's now over at Hinata's." She shrugged. "I hope he doesn't screw it up. He has a bad habit of doing just that."

"Well, maybe Hinata is willing to forgive, him? It was kind of dumb for her to actually think that he was the guy in the meadow. In fact, her whole reason for hating him is dumb," Ino commented.

"I think it's just her being a bit immature. Hinata holds grudges if no one convinces her not too." Sakura nodded.

"Well, you can't talk, Sakura," Ino replied. "You also held a grudge against any girl who tried to take Sasuke."

Sakura looked away, glaring.

--

Hinata looked up and blinked at Sasuke. What is he doing here? "Yes, why wouldn't I be?" She asked, going back to her book.

"... You seemed upset when you left the café, it looked like you were crying..."

She winced a little. "No, perfectly fine. Hey, Sasuke, Ddo you want to go to a park?" She asks, getting up and slipping on her shoes.

"I guess, if you want to." He twitched a bit. As long as she didn't make him go around on the playground...That thing was built for little kids, after all.

"Great, I really need something to take my mind off things." She sighs. What was the point of being mad at him? Even if Naruto was the boy in the meadow, that doesn't mean he would go out with her. He was too infatuated with Sakura.

Hinata sighed and looked up at Sasuke. He wasn't that bad. He had a nice skin tone, he could be a gentlemen when it was necessary, and he was the one who was always there when they were little, at least until they went to school.

Was that her fault? Did she push him away, or did they both go their separate ways? Would she act like this if they had stayed friends or would she still be that small shy girl?

Hinata snapped out of her thought when Sasuke asked her if she was ready.

"Yeah, lets go." She mutters.

(A/N: Okay, most of this is them talking, I'm sorry XD)

They trudged through the sand that the swings we on. Hinata got on one and started going back and fourth, Sasuke stood there watching her as her long locks blew in the wind.

"Sasuke! Get your ass on the swing!" Hinata laughed.

Sasuke raised a dark eyebrow, "And if I don't?"

"I'll make you." She smirked.

"Doubt it," he says, getting on anyway.

They swung and felt the cold air push against them.

"Hey Sasuke, I bet I could jump a farther distance than you on my swing."

"Oh, yeah?"

"Mhm." She smiles.

Sasuke shook his head. "I highly doubt-" He stopped when he saw her form blur past him and heard a "THUD" against the sand.

"Beat that." She smirks, standing where he landed.

Sasuke sighed. He swung back and fourth and leapt. He landed a little farther than her. "HAH, I beat you."

"Nope." She smiles. "You didn't"

"I did too!" He glares at her.

"Nu-uh." She shakes her head.

Sasuke looked bemused and tackled her into the sand, tickling her. "I think I did, Hinata."

"Ha- n-no you di-HAH didn't" She laughed, barely being able to speak.

He continued to tickle her. "I won't stop until you say I did."

"FINE! Y-you HAHA won- AH Sasuke."

He stopped and smiled at her, now just laying atop her. "So, now you know it is futile to try to beat me."

"Is it futile to surprise you?" she asked, tilting her head.

"Most likely." He laughs. "I can tell what's going to happen a mile away.

"Hmm, I bet I can change that." She smirks putting a hand on his cheek and kissing him gently on the lips.
