Pairing: Sasuke x Hinata Onesided Itachi x Hinata, Previous one-sided Hinata x Naruto Warnings: Light romance, A bit of OOC-ness from all characters

Chapter 1 - Mission

"Come on little brother, you're going to be late, your a chunin now, at least Act like on-" Itachi's speech was interrupted by sasuke shoving a bread bun in his older brother's mouth.
"I know niisan" sasuke hummed innocently.
Itachi's expression softened, taking out the bun, he walked with his little brother to where the meeting would take place.

Hinata looked at the pale blue sky, not a single cloud in site.
"why can't every day be this peaceful?" she thought.
Neji looked at her "is there something wrong hinata-sama?"
he tried to ask as politely as he could.
"I'm fine Neji." hinata's frown faded into a smile, she had crossed the path sasuke usually took and He walked ahead of them now, he side-glanced at her - smiling, his older brother following.
She could've sworn her heart skipped a beat, her cheeks practically glowing red.
Neji saw the way she looked at sasuke, hinata had, had a crush on him ever since they met, his cousin was so predictable.
'h-he smiled at me' Hinata thought, proud of herself.

"You got another fan girl sasuke?" Itachi teased.
Sasuke smiled and brushed off his comment.
"I guess so."
"hmm , if you're not interested, can I have her then?"
Sasuke looked at his brother - wide eyed.
"I'm just kidding, sasuke" Itachi faked a innocent smile.
'But I hope you don't mind... I'm might to take her off your hands sasuke...'

"There was an attack in the hidden village of the mist, we need a team of three to check out the damage and gain intel on those who attacked." Anko announced, changing her stance.
9 of Konoha's chunin: Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, sasuke uchiha, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, Hinata hyuuga, Neji hyuuga, Tenten, rock lee and one jounin - Itachi, had been invited to this meeting concerning a mission.
"COUNT ME IN DATTEBAYO!" Naruto yelled over the noise.
Sakura punched naruto in the head "be quiet baka!"
Kiba snickered and shino kept silent.
"I will go" Itachi offered when there was a moment of silence.
Sasuke watched his brother enviously.
"me too" Sasuke vouched.
Anko nodded "alright." and scribbled their names onto the form.
Hinata watched sasuke.
'a mission with sasuke... I'm too scared to put my name forward now' she thought.
Neji noticed Sakura about to put her hand up but quickly put his hand up first.
"I think Hinata would be good for this mission, she does have Byakugan after-all" Neji said to Anko, watching Sakura pout -
no doubt her inner-self was screaming with rage.
Anko eyed Hinata, who was smiling sheepishly.
"you want to go Hinata?" she asked.
"yes!" Hinata said a little too loudly, sasuke hid his smile.
Sakura glared at Hinata from across the room.
"Its sorted then, starting tomorrow - Itachi, Sasuke and Hinata, you three will head to the village hidden in the mist!"
'Sasuke and Hinata'
Hinata wanted to record those words and play them over and over, she could be with sasuke on a mission, finally.
As they left the building sasuke walked beside her "We'll be at your house tomorrow at 10 A.M ok?" he said, trying his hardest not to fall into her light violet irises.
"y-yes sasuke-kun" Hinata smiled, her face turning red.
Sakura glared from behind and naruto looked at her curiously.
"whats wrong sakura-chan?"
Sakura focused her glare on naruto.
"NOTHING!" she yelled as she walked out the side door.

Sasuke felt happy for the rest of the afternoon, he would be alone [well almost] with Hinata, maybe then he could confess to her.
Itachi watched his little brother staring into space, 'it must be Hinata again.' He thought, snickering.
