"Sasuke-kun...."

Sasuke looked back to see a blonde girl holding out a box of chocolates. "Please accept my love." She said, bowing her head, thrusting the box into his face.

Sasuke frowned. "Look, I'm not interested." He said, deciding not to be too harsh to the girl. He turned back to his locker, trying to ignore the girl's tearful eyes. She ran away howling. He sweat dropped.

"You could have handled that better." Someone retorted. It was Kiba, walking towards Sasuke's locker along with Naruto and Shikamaru.

"Look, I don't have time for this. And it's getting old." Sasuke said, slamming his locker shut.

"Geez, and you'd think one would be happy with so much attention." Naruto grumbled. "I agree" Kiba said "I wish we'd have girls fawning over us."

"Meh, it all seems too troublesome." Shikamaru said, yawning. Sasuke hoped for a moment that Kiba's wish would come true but it didn't seem likely.

"Whatever, we have practice." He said instead.

"Looks like someone's excited to see the cheerleaders practice." Naruto wriggled his eyebrows. Kiba barked out a laugh.

"They're not a bad sight." Shikamaru shrugged with a sly smile.

"What the hell? We have a match with Cloud High soon, you could focus." Sasuke said, angrily. Were girls the only thing his friends thought about?

"Yeah, yeah, we know. Cloud High isn't even that big of a deal." Naruto said.

Come to think of it, he hadn't seen Hinata come to practice again since the party. She seemed to be avoiding him. He wondered if she remembered the kiss.

The kiss.

Sure, it had felt good but it was no reason to avoid him. She was just drunk and...it was kind of understandable?

Whatever...he did not have time for this right now.

He stalked off to the gym with his friends in tow. They went to the locker rooms to change. "Why do they have cameras in the boys' locker rooms again?" Kiba grumbled as they stepped inside.

"I know; they make me so uncomfortable." Naruto said, creeped out.

"Probably because Vice Principal Orochimaru is a creep and likes spying on everyone." Sasuke sighed as he took off his shirt. The others started to strip as well and after a few minutes they were changed into gym gear. He walked into the gym to find the cheerleaders already practicing their moves.

"Hinata, you're doing great. I can't believe you made it to the top of the pyramid already." Ino cheered. "Yeah, those 15 years of gymnastics and martial arts must be useful." Sakura added.

Sasuke looked to see them praising a red faced Hinata as she drank water. "Ha,ha I still can't believe you kicked Karin's face though" Sakura laughed.

Sasuke raised his eye brow at this. Hinata looked a little sheepish as she said "I told you Sakura, it was an accident."

"Of course it was." Ino said, in a disbelieving tone but also laughing.

"Could you get back to practice please?" Temari, the team's manager said, coming up to them. "We're tired. And we want to see the boys practice." Ino said.

"I don't think they can practice while you guys are in the room." Temari said, looking over to the boys. Sasuke also looked at his team. They were practically drooling, looking at the cheerleaders. Sasuke had to roll his eyes. What idiots. Get over it already. So what if their dresses were short?

"Okay, we'll go to the bleachers and watch the game." Sakura said.

"Fine. CHEERLEADERS AT THE BLEACHERS. YOU HAVE A BREAK!" Temari yelled. It snapped the boys of their trance as well and they all jumped slightly. Sasuke's eyes scanned Neji. He was sitting on the bench, trying the laces of his shoes.

"Let's start this." Neji said, standing up.

Sasuke walked over to Neji as he began giving out instructions. "Oi Sasuke, come here." Neji said.

"I'm coming." Sasuke said.

The game started and everyone went into their positions. The whistle was heard and the ball came into Naruto's hands as he started dribbling it towards the basket. Sasuke ran ahead. He and Naruto could read each other's movements. They had the best coordination among the players.

"Go Sasuke-kun!" the girls shouted. Sasuke didn't pay them any attention. Just as Suigetsu tried to take the ball from Naruto, he threw it to Sasuke who ran ahead with the ball and had scored in the next moment.

"Good one Sasuke." Neji said, smiling. Sasuke's eyes drifted towards the bleachers. He noticed a red mark on Karin's face. He knew what Sakura and Ino meant now. The girls were waving to him. All of them. Okay all except Hinata.

She was waving to Kiba and Naruto who were grinning like idiots. Why didn't she act like a fan girl? It annoyed him a little personally. He felt a little insulted. And he sensed a challenge.

They continued with the practice and sometime during the it, the girls started to practice their routine and overall, the practice went well.

Sasuke stepped out of the showers and dressed into the uniform once again. He walked out to his locker to pick up his books and saw someone standing next in front of the locker next to his, their back to him.

He walked towards his locker. It was Hinata. She was the only one with hair that shade. "Hyuga" he said. She jumped slightly and looked back quickly.

"Um...Hi." She said, smiling a little nervously. What was her problem? Sasuke turned to take out his books.

Hinata on the other hand was panicking. She had not confronted him about the kiss, which she happened to remember. She knew she had to do it sooner or later. Now, they were both alone here. Could she do it now?

"Why do you look like I am about to murder you?" Sasuke asked, frowning. For a second, Hinata wondered how even frowning could suit him.

"I wanted to confront you....about the kiss." She blurted out suddenly.

There was a small pause before Sasuke spoke.

"You mean the one when you jumped on me?" he asked, smirking devilishly. Hinata felt her neck go hot and she felt embarrassed.

"Yes. The same." She muttered. "What about it?" he asked, raising his eye brow.

"I'm sorry." She said. "Sorry?" he asked, a little puzzled. "Care to clarify?"

"It's not like I didn't like it..." she suddenly stopped when she realized what she was saying and Sasuke's smirk was expanding.

"I MEAN IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!" She said and ran away. Sasuke watched her run away. This girl was seriously weird. And she had left all her things behind. Should he take them to her?

And she had liked the kiss. Well, that was a relief. So much for being a challenge.

He grabbed her things along with his bag and walked out to the parking lot. He saw Neji, Tenten and Hinata standing in the parking lot, talking about something.

"....it's okay. I can manage." Hinata said. She smiled at her cousin who looked a little guilty.

"I'm so sorry, it completely slipped my mind." He said. He was standing near Tenten and smiling at Hinata.

"I could ask someone to give you a ride Hina." Tenten said.

"It's not a bother. You guys go on." Hinata said "Really."

"Sasuke!" Neji suddenly spotted him and his eye lit up "Could you drop Hinata home on your way?"

"How do you know I'm going home?" Sasuke asked, raising his brow "I could be going on a date you know."

"Damn it." Neji said, frustrated.

"Fine, I'll take her home." Sasuke said "And Hyuga...you left your things."

Hinata met his eye and took her things. "Great. Uchiha, make sure to take care of her and Neji, we're late let's go." Tenten said, dragging Neji to his car.

"Later Hina." He said, disappearing into his car. Tenten climbed into the passenger seat and they were both off in a minute.

Hinata glanced at Sasuke, standing with his hands in his pocket. "You really need to learn how to drive." He said.

"Tell me about it." She said, walking over to his car. She looked at him expectantly and was surprised to see him smirking at her again.

"So you liked the kiss huh?" he teased as he slid into the car. She squeezed her eyes shut as she heard what he said.

"It doesn't matter. I was drunk." She said.

"You're not drunk now. If I kissed you, would you kiss me back?"

"No. And you wouldn't kiss me because you don't like girls. I'm sorry I caused you discomfort. I should have known better."

"Made me uncomfortable?" he asked, confused.

"You know....you being gay and me kissing you. It had to be uncomfortable. You don't have to be modest."

Sasuke was speechless for a moment before he regained his composure. "What the fuck?" he asked.

"Was it supposed to be a secret?" she asked, confused.

"It was Naruto, wasn't it?" he growled and she saw his face storm...literally. It turned all dark and menacing. She didn't know if she should tell him if it was Naruto or not. It was but still...

"You're....not gay?" she asked.

"NO!" he spluttered "I like girls!"

"You stay away from them so..." she trailed off, as he looked her in the eye.

"I'm not gay. I liked the kiss too." He said. She didn't know what to say to that except feel her eyes widen. So....Sasuke didn't hate her for kissing him?

He started the car and pulled it out of the parking lot. "Where's Naruto?" she asked. "Hell if I know." He informed her.

They were quiet for a few minutes before Sasuke spoke. "So now that I'm not gay, would you kiss me back?"

She scowled and his smirk widened. She was too gullible. "I would not." She said.

"Why not? I'm handsome, rich, popular..."

"Modest too." She looked at him with mirth in her eyes before looking away. "The reason is none of your concern."

"Oh, my heart." He said flatly, putting a hand over his heart and looking at her. She rolled her eyes and looked out the window.

The weather was no longer sunny. The clouds were covering the sun and the atmosphere looked gloomy. "Why is the weather always like this when we're together?" she asked, sighing.

"Probably because of your negative attitude." He said, in a monotone. "Ha, ha." She said sarcastically.

"No seriously...why wouldn't you kiss me back?" he asked, intrigued ince again. Why was he asking that? He did not even know himself. He didn't even like her. But why did it kinda sting when she showed no interest in him.

"I don't have to tell you the reason." She said.

He took a turn on the road. "This is the wrong way." She said, raising her eye brows.

"We're getting coffee." He informed her.

"You didn't even ask me if I wanted coffee." She said, exasperated. "Do you want coffee?" he asked. She shook her head.

"That didn't make much of a difference." He said.

'Clearly' she thought.

Hinata looked at Sasuke's perfectly chiseled face as he sat across her. He was looking around the café. He had ordered a black coffee for himself and Hinata had ordered a latte.

"Why do you like black coffee?" she asked, looking at him.

"Because I hate sweet things." He informed her. She didn't say anything to that, instead turning her head to look at the approaching waiter. He was tall and good looking. He saw Hinata looking at him and winked at her.

Sasuke noticed that too and sent him a glare. The waiter didn't get the memo and "accidently" brushed hands with Hinata while he handed her the latte.

Sasuke accidently slapped the tray, making his coffee fall down. "Looks like you have to make another one."

The waiter scowled at Sasuke but turned away wordlessly. "Sasuke you didn't have to be such a jerk to him." Hinata reprimanded.

"If you want to flirt with him, come another time." Sasuke said. Why was he acting like this? He liked the fact that Hinata was not a fan girl but they were not friends and he most certainly did not like her.

"I don't want to flirt with anyone. I'm committed." She informed him.

"So you're taken already?" he asked, taken aback.

"Something like that..." she muttered. Now Sasuke was a little curious. Who was she dating? Was it a long distance relationship?

"Long-distance relationship?" he asked. She nodded. He looked at her interrogatively.

"Look, just let it go." She said.

"Tell me about it and I will back off." He said. He was curious to know what was going on and who that person was.

"Fine. But no one else better find out." She said, annoyed. He smirked. He had succeeded.

"I'm engaged. That means I don't need a boyfriend or something at the moment." She said.

She was...engaged? Wow...he had not expected that. "What's the name?" he asked, his voice a little low.

"I don't know." She said, shrugging and sipping her latte.

"...what?" Sasuke asked. Maybe he had not heard her properly. She didn't know?

"I don't know." She repeated and looked at him. "You don't know." He said. She nodded.

"You're engaged to someone and you don't know who it is? Are you stupid?" he asked "Oh wait, wrong question."

"Hey, sarcasm monster, I'm an heiress; they could have engaged me to anyone for their benefit." She said "I never felt the need to know."

"So you're just going to marry someone you don't love in the near future?" he asked.

She shrugged. "Perks of being the heiress."

"You know that's ridiculous." Sasuke said, taking his coffee from the scowling waiter, glaring at him again.

"I know." She said, finishing her latte. "That's one of the reasons I moved here. My parents revealed I was engaged as a child. I expect to meet him sooner or later".

Sasuke did not know what to say to this, so he said nothing. He honestly could not believe this. He might not be her friend, but he still felt a little bad for her. And she wasn't even whining about it. That must take guts.

He hoped whoever it was, wasn't a jerk. Maybe it would be a nice guy. He looked over to her, as she stared out of the window of the café. The soft wind was blowing her hair to a side and for a moment, she looked pretty to him.

"Let's go." He said, putting some money on the table and getting up. She nodded and got up.

They rode the rest of the way quietly. Sasuke honestly did not feel like talking after what he had just heard. She also seemed a little quiet.

"Thanks for the coffee. I actually didn't have a bad time." She said, as he stopped the car in front of her place. She was looking at him and he looked back. They stared at each other for a moment before she opened the car door.

He smirked half heartedly. "Later." He said. She smiled and took her bag and stepped out of the car. "Bye." She said.

He drove off and she looked at his car from the back. She had never really thought about being engaged but now she did. What if she and her fiancé weren't compatible? What if they were unhappy together?

She shook her head and stepped inside her house. It wouldn't hurt to hope that things would work out.
