Sasuke never understood on how someone of her status could like someone like Naruto. After the war Sasuke started to notice the quick glances she would give Naruto when he wasn't looking. That admiration she held for him. Sasuke was amazed on how she was still in love with Naruto after all those years. He was even more amazed on how Naruto didn't even notice, but of course he didn't expect any less from his blond dense friend. Sasuke was a bit shocked when Kakashi chose her to keep an eye on him when he went out on missions. He understood perfectly clear that he was not trusted within the village yet. Sasuke didn't see her as weak, he saw how she fought in the war. He wasn't annoyed by her presence, in all honesty he thought she was going to be crazed fangirl. But she wasn't, she mostly kept to herself and spoke only when spoken to.
Currently they were walking from a mission from Suna, it wasn't all the way to the village of the sand. It was to escort an elderly woman half way to Suna, leaving the sand shinobi to escort her the rest the way.
"Uchiha-san I..I was wondering if you would like to join me for a c…cup of t..tea?" Her voice was but a mere whisper but Sasuke heard her loud and clear.
"No" His voice was so cold and sharp it made Hinata flinch.
"O…okay" Hinata put her head down in embarrassment.
All she was trying to do was get to know the person she was watching. After all he was Naruto best friend she thought it would be nice get to know him. But things were not getting better, not once in the last week have they talked like normal humans. The only time he would talk to her was to ask her if she could see any enemies surrounding them. She couldn't really understand how Sasuke was Naruto best friend. The only reason she accepted this mission was because she thought she was going to get some type of acknowledgment from Naruto, maybe something like 'hey thank you Hinata for keeping an eye on my mentally unstable friend' but no she hadn't received any type of acknowledgement from man she loves.
Once they entered the village Hinata was going to ask him where was he going, but he didn't even spare her a glance. He just kept walking in the direction she thought was his house. Hinata exhaled slowly. This was getting ridiculous, if he wanted to act that way with her in all honesty she didn't care. She slowly made her way to the Hyuga compound.
