Fleeting Thoughts

Chapter 1

Hinata's Feelings

Her thoughts were clouded when she said yes to Naruto. Her thoughts have been for about a week ever since Sasuke and Hinata started dating. They were all 17 now and Sasuke had decided it was time to start rebuilding his clan. He chose Hinata. No one was surprised there. She was the strongest girl that had graduated from their class.

Sakura-Chan, what's wrong? Naruto asked as they sat in the glass eating rice balls.
N-nothing, she said with a start. I was just thinking. Sorry.

Naruto kept wondering if she was dating him because of Sasuke and Hinata. Of course, he thought. sigh

Sakura you know you don't have to go out with me just because of Sasuke and Hinata. I..

Don't be silly. It's not because of that. She said. But deep down she know that was why.
Well I have to go Naruto but I will see you tomorrow. Ok.
Ok, Naruto looked down. He wasn't ready to call it a day. He didn't want to have to go home to his empty apartment. He looked up only to see the dark starry night and the big round white moon. The moonlight up the streets of Konoha and had made everything look so pretty with its white glow.

Sakura stood up and wiped off all the grass that was stuck to her. Well bye Naruto, she said with a sad smile on her face and a false happy voice. She's been like this for a week now. She has yet to yell at me and she's being nice, Naruto thought. Damn Sasuke. If you don't mind can I walk you home? Naruto asked.
Sure, She said

The glow of the moon helped them see as they went to Sakura's house. Well see you tomorrow, Naruto said as they reached the front door. Sakura nodded. Then she opened the door and went inside. Naruto began to think about the mission he has to do tomorrow. He hadn't had a mission with Sasuke and Sakura in a long time. Naruto began to walk down the streets to his apartment when he notices someone in the shadows. He smiles. Hey Sasuke, Naruto said. What do you want? He snared I see you and Sakura are getting a long just fine, Sasuke said with a smirk.
It's none of your damn business, Naruto snapped. Him and Sasuke have been fighting more ever since Hinata and him started dating. He didn't know why. He thinks its because of how heart broken Sakura is. But he really wasn't sure. We have a mission tomorrow so I'm going to go home and sleep, Naruto said. Then Naruto vanished. Leaving Sasuke in the streets by himself.

morning

Naruto throw and his cloths. Damn it I'm going to be late. Tsunade I really going to yell at me. He opened his window and jumped out onto the next building. This has to be faster, he thought. He jumped down from the building only to run into Hinata. N-Naruto-kun, came a small shy voice from behind him. Oh Hi Hinata, Naruto said. How have you been?

F-fine. Its been awhile since we've talked Naruto-kun. She said as she twiddled her fingers. I was wandering if you.
Sorry Hinata but I'm going to be late. Tsunade's going to kill me. Later Naruto said as he ran leaving the girl behind. Hinata just stood there. She then went back to what she came for. To buy food. She looked around the shops. Something didnt seemed right to her. Something was wrong. She could feel it. Not only in Sasuke but just now she felt it in Naruto too. She had grown to like Sasuke more then Naruto because of all the missions they had to do together. She Went into a shop and sat down at the table. A waitress came up and asked what she wanted. I would just like a cup of green tea please, Hinata said in her shy voice. Ok coming right up, the waitress said. Hinata couldn't help but wondering what these feeling were that she kepted getting. The feelings she felt every time she was around Naruto or Sasuke. Here you go, the waitress said interrupting her thinking. T-thank you, Hinata said. Then she went back to her think. She stared into the green colored tea and thought about everything else that was happening. But she always ended up thinking about those feelings she got. She really didn't understand them. This was the first time she has ever felt them. She took a sip of green tea hoping it would get rid of her thoughts. Hey Hinata, came a voice from behind.
She turned only to be surprised. I-Ino what are you doing here? She said shockingly.
Oh nothing just doing shopping and thought I would come in for a drink. How's Sasuke? Ino asked.
His fine. He really doesn't talk much but hopefully he will open up a little more as time goes on. Hinata said. She did want to tell Ino about the feelings she kept getting. She thought that Ino would just think she was being paranoid or something like that so she didn't want to tell her. Time went by fast as the two sat there and talked. Hinata was happy to be talking to someone. It help to keep her mind off things. Ino looked up and out the window. Oh God! It's late and I'm supposed to take care of the flower shop today. I promised mother. Well see you later Hinata, Ino said as she jump out the chair and flew out the door. Hinata didn't get the chance to say good bye. She looked into her glass and realized it was empty. It was late. She got up from her chair. She decided it was time to go home too.
