Sasuke's P.O.V

What the hell did I just do? I thought to myself as I stalked back to my apartment. I probably just made things harder for her and confused her. I don't even know why I hugged her. It just felt right at the time. But what about when I kissed her forehead? I mean, I used to do it all the time when we were kids but now, it..... it just feels different.

I ran a frustrated hand though my hair and groaned. I had my exams tomorrow and I need to pass. I can't be worrying about stupid stuff like this. It's just a waist of time. A ninja doesn't need emotions. They' re for the weak. I can't let all of this go to my head or it'll keep distracting me more then it already has.

I unlocked the door and walked in. The wall of heat was like heaven compared to outside. What was Hitagi even doing laying in the snow anyway?.... No. I can't think about her right now. I pressed the button on my phone and listened to the messages.

Sasuke! Oh my gosh! I can't believe I called you but, please, please, please go out with me? 'Kay bye.

Most of them were like that. When will they learn? I've told every single one of them that I'm not interested. Ino and Sakura are the worst. I hope they know they look like total losers. No body will ever like them if they keep that up. It's so annoying. The last one kept my ear glued to the phone.

Uh, hey Sasuke. It's Hitagi. I saw that you called and I guess I was just curious or something. I don't even no why I'm calling you back. Whatever. If you have something to say, say it to my face.

I chuckled at her harsh tone. I remembered calling her a few nights ago simply because I was bored and I guess I wanted to bug her. Of coarse I knew she would be pissed at me. Our previous feuding made me wonder what tomorrow would be like. It's definitely going to be pretty awkward.

Hitagi's P.O.V

The walk home was slow and my feet dragged behind me. I kept asking myself what had come over me to hug him back and bury my face in his neck like that. Just thinking about it made my cheeks flush a very unattractive shade of scarlet.

What is wrong with me?! I need to be put in an insane asylum. I hated the fact that when he said my name, tingles ran up my spine, or when he touched me my whole body shook. I'm not supposed to feel like this. To be honest, I don't even know what I'm feeling. There was only one option, I need to ignore him. Not necessarily like I used to (even though I wished everything would just go back to the way things were.) I didn't need to be harsh on him. Just a friendly nod here and there.

As I walked into my house, thoughts of how I can keep it as less awkward as possible between Sasuke and I swam in my head. I groaned and flopped on my couch. I hoped that tomorrow would go as I planned. I got up and walked to my room. The floor was cold as I stepped out of my clothes and into my pj's.

I sighed as I climbed into bed, happy to be home. I closed my eyes and instantly fell asleep. Thankfully, no bad dreams awaited me.

I stretched and threw the blankets off me and got into the shower. When I was done, I jumped into my clothes and bolted out the door, not even bothering to eat breakfast. I yawned as I sped up my pace. I loved being a ninja. The speed you can run is unimaginable.My speed could match that of a jonin. Everything zoomed past me in a big blur. I learned chakra control from my dad when I was very young so this gave me a leg up in my training. I sped up the side of a house and jumped from roof to roof, doing back flips and spins along the way. "Yeah!" I yelled as the wind rushed past me. It was warm, a sure sign that spring was fast approaching.
