Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, Sasuke and Hinata would end up together and life would be unicorns and rainbows.

Today would most definitely be the day she dies.

Out of all the damned people whom fate decided would fall for her, why did it have to be him?

He took a long drag of his cigarette as his eyes drifted to the ground, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Hinata innocently tilted her head to the left, "What?"

His onyx eyes snapped back at her, "I asked you a simple question. Are you with someone or not?"

If so, he would ensure that certain person would be out of the ten mile radius and/or six feet under the ground.

Whatever works best for his homicidal tendencies.

Hinata's eyebrows knit together, "N-no.."

To say she was terrified was an understatement. She was on the verge of peeing her pants.

Sasuke Uchiha was personally asking her about her love life. The Sasuke Uchiha. The seventeen year old psychopath slash gang leader of one of the most infamous gangs in Konoha.

She was currently pressed against a hard brick wall behind a nightclub. A nightclub that Sasuke's brother owned, unfortunately. Hinata's so called friend had guilt tripped her into coming to the future crime scene but Karin ditched her for some white haired guy as soon as they were let in.

Sasuke stared into her eyes and quite frankly, it creeped her out, "I saw you staring at me."

What?

Staring at him?

Hell, she was staring past him. His best friend who was currently her secret crush was standing right beside him. That's who she was staring at.

Conceited bastard.

Hinata shook her head, "I.. I wasn't! I think I should go now-"

She tried to leave but a toned arm stopped her from doing so as it blocked her from getting back to the exit door, "What's your name?"

Hinata gulped, "It's Hin..."

She quickly changed her mind about telling him her name. With that single piece of information, he would have the power to singlehandedly destroy her life.

She looked at the neighboring nightclub and her eyes were met with a neon sign that read 'Open', "...ope."

Sasuke arched an elegant eyebrow, "Hinope what?"

Hinata gulped around and looked around for her new surname because even if her life depended on it (which it currently did) she couldn't come up with a reasonable, realistic name. She saw the words 'Uchiha' on a billboard, advertising on his many family's business and their weekend specialty , "Chi...cken."

Sasuke knitted both of his eyebrows together, "Your name's Hinope Chicken?"

Hinata was mentally strangling herself for coming up with such a ridiculous name, "Yeah, that's me. Anyways, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to get involved with a girl named 'Hinope' so I'll just be on my way."

Sasuke chuckled as he let his arm stay perfectly in place, "I think it's a cute made-up name, Hinata."

Hinata's eyes widened.

She had just been caught lying to one of the most ruthless gang leaders in Konoha.

She ponders what picture they'll use for the evening news when they announce her mysterious sudden death.

Hinata gulped down the invisible lump that had mysteriously formed in her throat, "W-why did you ask for my name if you already know it?"

The ends of his lips slightly curved upwards, "Why did you lie about your name if you already know it?"

Hinata shut her eyes, attempting to keep the waterworks in, "I think I should go now.."

Sasuke shook his head, "I don't think so. So what are you doing here?"

Hinata was mentally saying her good-byes to her loved ones, especially Naruto, "My friends came here and they asked me to tag along."

Sasuke gave her a nod of acknowledgement, "I see. I see. Why are you trembling?"

Hinata shook her head, "I'm n-not."

A mixture of horrible timing, Hinata's horrendous luck, and mother fucking nature had coincidentally forced her teeth to begin to chatter.

Sasuke sent her a look of disapproval, "I don't like liars."

He took a long drag of his cigarette and took it out of his plump lips that Hinata had subconsciously started staring at. He blew out the smoke into her face and she coughed, "And I don't like smokers."

Sasuke's eyes slightly widened as he took out the cancer stick and threw it on the ground. He lifted his expensive combat boot and stepped on it, "Just putting this out there, that was because I wanted to, not because you don't like smokers. Stop assuming so much."

It was totally because she didn't like smokers.

Hinata blinked and suppressed the urge to giggle in fear for her dear life, "Soo.. Can I g-What are you doing?!"

Of course when a muscular guy who's notorious for leaving people riding in hearses starts stripping in a dark, isolated alley way in front of you, one is going to assume the worst.

He took off his jacket, showing off his sleeveless shirt that revealed his rippling muscles and his custom gang tattoo on the lower part of his neck. He outstretched it towards his secret crush, "Take it."

Hinata violently shook her head, "I'll be okay if I just go home so-"

Sasuke gently grabbed her and she harshly shut her light lavender colored eyes, awaiting for the stab wound that would ultimately end her life.

It never came.

She opened one orb and then the other. She felt suddenly warmer and realized Sasuke had put on his jacket on her, "Th-thank you."

Sasuke nodded as Hinata avoided his piercing glare, "So you like Naruto, huh?"

Hinata gasped and shot her head up, "What?! No? Who told you that? Did Ino put you up to this?! Because if so, she's a filthy liar. Naruto? Who's Naruto? I don't even know anybody named Naruto. Naruto, as in the ramen topping but that's it.."

Her voice quickly began to fade out as she finished her ridiculous spiel, "I have to go back home to the 'Chicken' residence, so if you don't mind me, I'll just be on my way then."

Sasuke grabbed her hand as he looked away, "I'll take you home."

Hinata gulped, "I'll be fine, walking home. I'm sure no one-"

He stoically looked down at her, "I'm going to be the one to escort you home and that is final."

Hinata nodded, "That's great but it's just that..."

He stopped walking which resulted in her abrupt stop. He rose an elegant eyebrow, "It's just that what?"

Hinata began taking big breaths in order to savor her last breath of life, "It's just... Well, I'm sure you've been drinking tonight."

Sasuke returned to his cool composure, "Are you indirectly referring to me as an alcoholic?"

Damn it. Sasuke truly needs to stop attempting to be funny because it obviously is not his forte and making Hinata prepare for an early death.

Hinata nervously gaped at the taller boy, "N-no! I was just saying you look like you've had a couple illegal liquids in your life. Not that I'm judging you and your hoodlum ways! Hoodlum? Who said the word hoodlum?! Nope, not me! Am I going to die? No, I can't. I haven't even told Naruto my feelings yet and I haven't handed in my book report yet! 'PRVR' headlines 'dead teenage girl found in dark, dark alleyway with missing book report assignment'. Oh no! Is it getting hot out here or-"

Her ridiculously long thought-to-be her-last-words were cut off by a pair of lips meeting hers. Hinata's eyes widened and she was too stunned to reply to Sasuke's abrupt kiss. He let his lips linger on her unresponsive ones for several seconds.

Quite frankly, it was the best four seconds of his life.

And the most shocking four seconds of hers.

He dragged his lips away from hers and dreamily opened his onyx eyes to meet hers, "You talk too much."

Hinata quickly nodded and made a zipping motion over her mouth with her hand that wasn't currently being occupied with Sasuke's hand. Sasuke gave her a nod of acknowledgement and began walking back to the back doors, passing by a few short, dumpsters.

Hinata gasped and she quickly clung to Sasuke which he didn't mind.

At all.

He let go of her sweaty hand and slung a protective arm over her shoulder, "What's wrong?"

Everything at the moment.

Hinata began to stammer, "Th-there's a dead guy in that dumpster!"

Sasuke arched an eyebrow as he surveyed the unconscious form, "He's breathing."

Hinata sighed as she began to analyze one of Sasuke's jealousy caused victims, "Wait! I know him."

"You do?"

"Yeah, he was talking to me earlier and offered me a drink. If I remember correctly, his name's Hidan.."

Sasuke nodded and began to lead her away from the dumpster, "Let's go."

"B-b-but shouldn't we get him help?"

Sasuke smirked as he led Hinata back inside, "Nah, he'll be okay."

As long as he never attempts to interact with Hinata ever again.

Hinata nodded, deciding it'd be wiser to not go against the guy who could potentially be charged with her murder, "O..okay."

Sasuke abruptly stopped walking, "Go inside and wait there for me. I have something I need to do."

Hinata merely walked away while Sasuke waited for the door to completely be shut. He quickly reached into all four of his pockets and took out his multiple cigarette packs. He dumped them in the dumpster an unconscious Hidan was residing in and went back inside.

Though they were very much alike, both making him occasionally smile (or slightly smile. Hell, however close Sasuke Uchiha comes to smiling), both subconsciously relieved him in his stress, he was addicted to both, and both gave him a feeling of content but at the end of the day his precious Hinata was way (wayyyyy) more important than tobacco on a stick.

Sasuke found Hinata leaning against the wall next to the door. He took ahold of her hand and began to lead her through the crowd when suddenly, a drunken slob slung his arms on Sasuke's broad shoulders.

"Sauce...Gay!"

Sasuke shook his head, "I told you to stop calling me that a long time ago, Naruto!"

Naruto just shrugged his shoulders, "And I told you to start buying me ramen buffets but did that happen? Nope."

Sasuke rolled his jealousy incrusted eyes, "Okay, congratulations. Good-bye."

He took another swig of his beer and pointed back and forth from Sasuke to Hinata, "Did you confes-"

A blush immediately painted Sasuke's face, "Alright, that's it! Let's go take you home."

"Take me home too," said a disorient Naruto.

Sasuke rolled his eyes and took him under his shoulder as Hinata jumped at the chance to make physical contact with Naruto's body.

Hell, if Sasuke decided to just slit her throat and leave her in the middle of the woods, at least she'd die knowing she touched the ramen industries' best customer's sweaty orange jacket.

Yay. (?)

Sasuke led them to his expensive car and seated Naruto in the front, purposely leaving his seat belt. He opened the door for Hinata and she humbly nodded, "I live by-"

"He probably already knows where you live!"

Stalker much.

Sasuke's eyebrow twitched.

"No, I don't. He's a drunk fool."

Hinata nervously laughed and gave him the directions to her house, "I'm going to drop off Naruto first."

Oh great.

Her only possible witness to her murder and he would soon be gone. But eh, it's not like he would be much help in he court hearing either.

It was a short drive to Naruto's house. Sasuke parked the car and dragged Naruto out of the car as Hinata, (as creepy as it was), was dreamily staring at an extremely disoriented Naruto.

Sasuke let him on the front grass as Hinata rolled down her window to say her most likely last words to Naruto, "Good night, Naruto. Sweet dreams."

She quickly rolled up the windows of Sasuke's car and avoided looking out the window to prevent seeing slash hearing Naruto's response.

If she did, she would see Sasuke glaring daggers into Naruto's being. He rolled his eyes and hopped back into the drivers' seat, "Wait, you're just going to leave him like that?!"

Sasuke stood silent for a second, "You're right. I should do something."

He got out of the car and walked to his backyard. He returned to the front yard with a beastly looking dog and a bag of dog food in the other hand. He poured the dog food over Naruto's 'swim suit area' and let go of Kiba's dog.

Sasuke wiped his hands on Naruto's favorite jacket as Akamaru began sniffing where the sun doesn't shine. He whistled away and back into the car as Hinata fumbled with her fingers.

He silently and quickly drove away before Akamaru took a bite of his midnight snack. Hinata nervously gulped as she realized he was actually taking her to her house and not to her doom!

Phew.

He parked outside her house and unbuckled his seatbelt, "Thanks for giving me a ride home.."

Sasuke nodded and began inching closer to her as she stared at the deserted house, "I better go n-"

And once again, for the second time that night their lips met. And now that Hinata wasn't in that scary background anymore, she wasn't as scared. Without even realizing it, she had begun to respond back just as Sasuke was about to pull away. She closed her eyes and gently kissed him back.

It's the least she could do since despite all the ridiculous things she said to the guy who can destroy her life with a single hand gesture, he didn't strangle her to death.

And even though it ashamed her to a very far extent; voluntarily kissing someone she had never even as so spoken to before slash whom she was sure would be the cause of her abrupt death, her heart was beating as if it was on a drug of some sort on its own accord.

If he didn't slit her throat right there and then, well...a heart failure would then surely be the cause of her early death.

Sasuke pulled back to make eye contact with a blushing Hinata. He smirked and opened the door as he pushed it out, "Good night and get out."

Hinata gaped at him but calmly did as she was told, "Good night."

He closed the door and buckled on his seat belt again. He began the short drive back to the nightclub. He smirked he saw a flustered Hinata fumble with her house keys in his rearview mirror, "Hinope Chicken... She's definitely a psychopath. Just how I like them."

Bi-polar bastard.
