Sasuke's clenched fists were still resting on top of his desk as he watched Hinata walked in with Naruto with his right arm wrapped around her waist, as though he was saying that she was his and no one else's.
This cannot be so! Sasuke thought, Why would she choose him over me?
Some of the girls were whispering and pointing at the new couple while a few looked and saw the angry and jealous look on Sasuke's face.
"I don't know why he's so angry," Kiba stated, "You'd think the famed Rookie of the Year would have some sense to figure out when a girl doesn't like him."
"His ego and desire for Naruto's girlfriend clearly blinds his judgment," Shino observed as Naruto and Hinata went over to him and the others.
"Hey, guys, what's shaking?" Naruto asked with a toothy grin.
"Not much, really," Chouji greeted.
"So you finally got Naruto to be your guy, huh Hinata?" Kiba teased. "All I have to say is that it's about damn time!"
Hinata smiled brightly with reddened cheeks.
"My congrats to you both," Shikamaru added before remarking, "But it's sad to say, not everyone here shares your happiness."
Naruto and Hinata looked in the direction Shikamaru was pointing. They saw the straight faced expression on Sasuke's face, and also saw he was having trouble keeping his cool. Sighing, Naruto and Hinata turned back to Shikamaru.
"Don't let Sasuke's mood spoil what you two have," Chouji suggested.
"Like we'd let it!" Naruto remarked, "The teme should have realized he never stood a chance in the first place. How he became Rookie of the Year is a wonder in itself."
"Naruto-kun!" Hinata giggled, then slapped the blond's arm lightly and chided, "Behave."
Just then, Ino and Sakura appeared through the door simultaneously, both fighting and racing to get to sit next to Sasuke.
"I was here first, Forehead!" Ino barked.
"No I was, Ino-pig!" Sakura retorted. Both girls were wrestling at the classroom entrance, trying to keep the other from heading to Sasuke first.
"I pity whoever has them for teammates," Shikamaru remarked. Sasuke got up off his seat and proceeded over to where Hinata and the others were. Reaching them, Sasuke stood in front of her and Naruto. Sakura managed to push Ino away and run over to Sasuke before Ino caught up to her.
"Sasuke-san," Hinata greeted respectfully.
"Hinata," Sasuke acknowledged, then asked, "Was Naruto always your boyfriend?"
"No," Hinata answered honestly, continuing, "He only recently hooked up with me…It was a few days ago."
Sasuke nodded in understanding. Hinata turned to Naruto and said, "I have to go and take care of something. Would you excuse me?"
Hinata hurried out of the classroom, leaving the rest of the group behind.
"So you guys weren't going out for three years, then," Sasuke implied. Shikamaru, Shino, Kiba and Chouji saw what Sasuke was doing. Naruto did also, but he kept his cool. Sasuke turned and walked up the stairs and walked back to his desk and sat back down. Naruto followed and stood in front of Sasuke's desk.
"So we weren't going out for three years," Naruto interjected. "What does it matter? I recently asked Hinata-chan to become my girlfriend after telling her how much I like and care about her. It just took me three years to get to know her before I finally-"
"I wanted to get to know her also," Sasuke cut in. "I had as good of a chance as you, except you kept getting in my way."
"And why shouldn't I have?" Naruto retorted. "Why should I have stepped aside and let you take the one girl that liked me, when you had all of the other girls you could have chosen from?"
"Hinata is different," Sasuke replied, continuing, "She is someone I respect and admire for her traits and personality. If I was given the chance, I'm sure I'd have proven to be the better choice."
Naruto jumped on top of the table and crouched down to face Sasuke with a glare. Sasuke returned his glare full blown.
"You may believe yourself to be a better choice for Hinata-chan, Sasuke-teme," Naruto remarked as he moved his face closer to Sasuke's, then went on, "But hands down, Hinata-chan finds me to be the best choice for her! That's the difference between us! So go look for your own girl-"
"Fight me," Sasuke challenged. "Right now!"
"Forget it," Naruto replied. "I won't waste my time with the likes of-"
Naruto was suddenly cut off as another boy sitting in from of them suddenly stood up from his seat and bumped the desk Naruto was standing on, causing Naruto to lose balance and fall forward into Sasuke's direction. Realizing he accidentally knocked into something, the boy turned to see a sight nobody was expecting to see. In front of everyone was a shocked, wide-eyed Sasuke, who was suddenly lip locked with an equally wide-eyed and blushing Ino. What added to the shock was that their tongues also met from the contact. The scene was too hard to believe, as everyone staring had one question in mind:
"What the hell just happened?"
Freaked out, Sakura suddenly grabbed her pink hair and screamed in dismay and horror at what was now burned into her and everyone's memories. Snapped back to reality from the shock, seconds later, Sasuke pushed Ino off him and ran out of the classroom, holding his lips. Ino was still kneeling on Sasuke's desk before slowly reaching for her lips, with the blush and expression of surprise still present on her face.
Naruto, in the meantime, was standing in the area Ino was previously standing in as he watched Sasuke run from the room. Naruto had hurriedly switched places with Ino just a second before his lips almost came into contact with Sasuke's.
"That was way too close!" a relieved Naruto remarked with feelings of disgust flowing through him. "I was almost poisoned! My mouth was almost ruined!"
"Naruto," Sakura said in a darkened tone filled with malice and pouring bloodlust as she cracked her knuckles. "You make me sick!"
Naruto turned to see Sakura and the other girls ready to release their burning rage on the blond Jinchuuriki. Ino, however, rushed over to Naruto and stood between him and Sakura.
"Now wait a minute," Ino spoke up. "Don't go venting your rage on Naruto just because you missed out on such a wonderful moment."
"Shut up!" Sakura shouted. "What happened moments ago wasn't anything romantic! Naruto just used you to save his own ass!"
