Chapter 5

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and never will.

"Hyuga, why are you…."

Hinata's eyes widened with horror. 'Oh no! Sasuke-san is going to ruin my cover' She quickly turned around and placed her hands on his mouth to prevent him from talking. In the process, she accidently slipped and dropped down on top of him.

"What are you…"

"Shhhhh" whispered Hinata as she sat on top of him. Hinata sat on him for a few minutes until she realized that she was sitting on the famous, cold-hearted Uchiha. "Ahh…go..gomen…Uchiha-san" whimpered Hinata as she quickly jumped off the Uchiha.

Sasuke got up and patted the dirt off his jacket's sleeve. He watched the Hyuga take a peek from behind the wooded fence. 'Why is she hiding' thought Sasuke.

"What are we hiding from?"

Hinata looked up and saw two dark eyes staring right back at her. Sasuke was inches away from her. He was mimicking her moves and taking a peek also. "Sasuke-san..what are you doing?"

"Just taking a peek. Seems like you're hiding from somebody" snickered Sasuke.

"I'm not!" shouted the Hyuga. She quickly covered her mouth.

"Is that Naruto coming this way?" pointed Sasuke.

"EEEEK!" Hinata quickly placed her back on the fence.

"So it's the idiot you're hiding from," ridiculed Sasuke.

"Sasuke-san…don't scare me like that," cried Hinata.

"Oi, Sasuke!" shouted a familiar voice.

Hinata eyes widened. 'Na..Naruto-kun' She quickly placed her back on the fence again. (The same way she acted when Naruto came back to Konoha after his training with Jiraiya).

"What do you want?" asked the Uchiha in a hateful tone as he came out from hiding.

"Out of curiosity, have you seen Hinata-chan?" grinned the Uzumaki.

"Yeah, she's right behind this fence" Sasuke jolted his thumb upwards to point towards the fence behind him.

Hinata began to feel her heart beat faster. 'I need…to…face..Na..Naruto-kun. I can't keep avoiding him'

"Really?" Naruto walked towards the fence until Sasuke jolted his arm up to prevent him from going.

"I was being sarcastic"

"Bastard! You got me excited for nothing," sighed Naruto.

"Naru…Naruto-kun" Hinata came out from behind the wooded fence.

"Hinata-chan!" Naruto gave her a big smile. "What were you doing behind there? Did Sasuke do something to you!"

"No Nar..Naruto-kun" stuttered the Hyuga. "We were just..umm..talking"

"Oh! Well anyways, about our date. I was thinking we should…" Naruto was cut off.

"You're out of luck, Hinata has a date with me" smirked Sasuke.

"NANI?!" yelled Naruto as he looked at Sasuke and then Hinata.

"Ummm…" Hinata looked at Sasuke with a confused look.

"This can't be true!" cried Naruto.

"That's what we were talking about," stated the Uchiha. "C'mon let's go"

Sasuke grabbed Hinata's wrist and dragged her away leaving the poor Hokage alone.

Minutes later

"Umm..Sasuke-san..." Hinata flustered with embarrassment as Sasuke continued to keep a hold on her wrist.

"Shut up and be grateful I saved you from that idiot. It was pretty obvious that you wanted to get away from him"

"Was it really that obvious?" asked the Hyuga as she pulled away from the Uchiha's grip.

Sasuke stopped walking and stood there quietly.

"I mean I was really happy that Naruto-kun asked me out on a date. Yet it saddens me inside" Hinata looked down towards her feet. "His feelings for Sakura can not go away that easily"

'Hold on, it was just yesterday that Naruto was all over Sakura. Is he using the Hyuga as to get her jealous or as a rebound?' thought Sasuke.

"Hinata!" screamed a particular voice.

The Hyuga and Uchiha turned around only to see the Yamanaka and Nara coming towards them.

"What are you guys doing?" asked Ino as she looked at Sasuke and Hinata with an eyebrow raised up. "Are you guys on a date?!"

"Umm…well not…." Hinata was cut off.

"Great! I have an extra pair of tickets to go ice-skating! We should all go together" smiled Ino.

"But I don't…"

Ino placed her arm around Hinata's arm and dragged her ahead. "Come on guys!" shouted Ino.

"Don't I have a say in this" sighed Sasuke.

Shikimaru placed his hand on Sasuke's back "One rule you should always remember is to never go against a woman's wish"

Hinata stood outside the ice rink, watching Ino and Shikimaru skate around the ice.

"What's wrong Hyuga, don't know how to ice-skate?" snickered Sasuke. "You do come from a prestigious clan, so you should know how to skate"

"Umm..well father had us training night and day so we never had a chance to do this kind of things" cried Hinata.

"C'mon" Sasuke pulled his hand out towards Hinata. A tint of blush rose across his face. "Nothing bad is going to happen, trust me"

Hinata grabbed Sasuke's hand tightly and entered the rink. Her legs crisscrossed as she held onto the rail.

"Relax. Bend your knees," stated Sasuke.

Hinata would loose her balance but thankfully Sasuke was there to help her.

"How are you so good at this?" asked the Hyuga as she observed Sasuke's movements.

"My brother and I would play ice hockey with a few other Uchiha's. See you're getting the hang of it"

Hinata glided forward, still holding onto the rail.

"Let go of the rail"

"But I'm scared"

"You won't fall, besides you're holding onto my hand"

Hinata let go of the rail and skated forward gently. She kept her balance on both of her legs.

"I'm going to let go now" Sasuke slowly let go of Hinata's hand.

Hinata pushed off with one foot and slid on the other but this time a little harder to give herself more momentum. She slithered much farther across the ice. A few times, she would loose her balance but she would quickly hold onto the rail. Hinata looked out towards Ino and Shikimaru. 'Their so happy, I wish I could have that' thought Hinata. She dazed off while she continued to skate.

(Sasuke's view)

'Such a clumsy girl' thought Sasuke as he watched her from afar. 'She's different from Sakura and Karin. Being around her feels warm…..like my mother. Why is she dazing off? If she doesn't stop, she's going to run into someone….Oh crap' Sasuke quickly jolted towards Hinata.

(Back to Hinata)

Hinata felt herself be pushed and she began to lean backwards. "EEEEK!" She closed her eyes knowing that she was going to get hurt. She waited for a few seconds but heard the sound of sand. 'Sand?' She realized that she was being carried, not by a person but by sand. She opened her eyes and Gaara was standing in front of her.

Note: I got the whole ice-skating idea when I went out on a date. If only Gaara was their to save me from my fall, but he wasn't. But fortunately my head was ok. Next chaper is when Gaara and Sasuke will clash. BUAHAHAHA Well I will try to update asap!
