Disclaimer- Don't own Naruto, though, Masashi Kishimoto does.
Hmm, I havnt written in awhile [Dont know what happend] so feel free to leave reviews and tell me what you think.
Hinata sat on her bed looking at the drops of rain that trailed down her window from the outside. She never liked the rain, it was so..depressing. Couldn't go anywhere, Do anything. Just sit around waiting for it to stop. Normally on such days she'd simply grab her umbrella and run over to Sasuke's house until it cleared. Sasuke. Hinata sighed, looking at the neatly placed note on her dresser. She recalled the specific words written inside that left her feeling rather unhappy.
Dear Hinata,
I apologize for not telling you of my departure in person. I've been sent on mission, again. Seems a few "wanna-be ninjas" as I've been told, are going around harassing people near Suna. I don't see how this has anything to do with Konoha. Tsunade-sama mentioned something about Gaara having a lot to deal with and this taking some weight off. I'm rather annoyed; was hoping to have some quality time with you, seeing as Naruto won't give us any real time alone. Well anyways Tsunade-sama requested, well, orderedfor Shikamaru (Naruto was replaced since he just got back from a 'personal' mission yesterday), Sakura, and I to leave right before sunrise. I couldn't bring myself to wake you, not that your father would have openly welcomed me inside so early if at all. So I wrote this note. Way to state the obvious huh? I swear I'm getting more like Naruto each day. What a nightmare. Next thing you know I'll be asking you out to ramen every night and eventually I'll even dye my hair blonde and change my whole wardrobe to orange. Hn. On second thought, I think I'll pass. I'm getting off topic. I'll be back within the next four days hopefully sooner than that. I want you to know that I love you and I'll see you soon.
Sasuke.
Even though she was in such a bad mood, Hinata couldn't help but giggle at Sasuke's attempt to be funny. Her smile disappeared within two seconds and she sighed deeply, falling back on her bed making a light poof sound. She groaned putting a pillow over her face lazily. No Sasuke, no training, no Kiba, no Shino, not even Naruto. She groaned again. Naruto and Hinata had become really close since she'd been with Sasuke. Best friends to be exact. That was why Sasuke would be so annoyed when Naruto wanted to tag along. He mentioned that sometimes it made him feel a little jealous, as if Hinata and Naruto were slowly becoming more then just friends. Hinata told him that could never be; she only had eyes for him, just as Naruto only had eyes for Sakura. Sasuke simply nodded his head and hn'd.
Hinata doesn't believe she'd ever feel the same way for Naruto as she had when they were younger. She finally grew out of those feelings when she reached fourteen, and here she is now, sixteen and in a relationship with Sasuke Uchiha. Oh Sasuke, I wonder how you're doing out there..
Hinata was interrupted from her thoughts by a knock on her door. She was silent. There was another knock. "Hinata, I know you're in there, don't try and fake sleep either because I know you're not" now knowing who the person was at her door Hinata said come in, which was somewhat muffled by her pillow. She heard her door open then close softly. She guessed about two steps were taken in her direction before halting. Hinata sighed once more before removing the pillow from her face and looking at Neji. He too was dressed in his pajamas, the ones that she bought him.
"I-I um, thought you didn't like my gift" Hinata said softly, getting up into a sitting position. Neji gave her a questioning look, and then realized what she meant. He smiled slightly.
"I never told you I didn't like it Hinata, you jump to conclusions too easily"
"Oh" Hinata smiled half heartedly back, still in her bad mood. She patted the bed right next to her, signaling for Neji to sit. They were close now. As far as best friend wise, he came after Naruto, she wasn't exactly sure how he felt, but she thinks he feels the same. Neji went over to Hinata's bed and sat, looking out the same window she had earlier. They sat in silence for a moment. Hinata looked at Neji's face, he seemed as if he was deep in thought, making faces every few moments. A little concerned now she broke the silence. "Umm Neji...is something wrong?" That seemed to snap Neji out of it.
"Hmm? No, my apologies I was caught up in my thoughts" Neji smiled once more and directed his attention to Hinata. "I simply came to tell you that Naruto was here earlier to see if you had any plans for today, which I don't fully understand since it's raining and everyone knows you hate the rain..." He rolled his eyes "anyway, I also came to tell you that Hiashi saw Sasuke this morning at you're window and is rather upset about it, so it would be in your best interest to avoid him today" Neji smirked remembering the expression on Hiashi's face earlier that morning. Hinata's face went white. Neji stopped smirking and cleared his throat "He's caught up in his office so don't worry" Hinata felt a little relieved.
"Oh ok, t-that's good, almost gave me a h-heart attack" Hinata laughed nervously, unconsciously pulling a pillow close to her. Neji chuckled a little and stood up.
"Well, I should go now, I'm sure Lee and Tenten are waiting for me-"Hinata interrupted him, with wide eyes.
"You're g-going out in that?" She asked in complete shock pointing towards the window. The rain had gotten heavier, she was sure it would become a storm in an hour or so. Hinata could understand going out to lunch or a walk with an umbrella but training, that was out of the question. Neji looked toward the window for two seconds then back at her, completely impassive.
"…Yes" Neji made it sound as if she was the one who was crazy. She stared at him, unwilling to respond. Shaking her head at him Hinata took the pillow that she was still holding onto and put it in her face, going back into the same position she had been in moments before Neji entered her room. Hinata heard Neji chuckle one last time before the opening and closing of her door. I can't believe Neji would go out in the rain like that, I can't believe Sasuke is out in the rain like that. Sasuke. I miss him already.
