Broken Bonds

Chapter 1

Hinata and Sakura talked with each other while sipping their tea.

"So, Hinata,"the pink haired woman said, smiling "how does it feel being the hokage's wife?"

Hinata blushed, and held her lips at the brim of the cup and acted like she was taking a long sip.

"You can't avoid the question Hinata; besides, you're not even drinking!"

"I guess I can't fool you..." she smiled warmly "Now what was the question?" Immediately, frustration came to Sakura's features, and Hinata giggled. "It's okay being the hokage's wife."

"Okay..."she said, sensing that Hinata answered unenthusiastically. "Then how does it feel being Naruto's wife?"

She looked down at her green tea briefly "I feel the same about that...not really a difference, is it?"

Sakura sighed "You've been married to Naruto for a year, and the only time I've seen you estatic was between the time he proposed and one week after the ceremony! What the hell is up??"

"I-I don't know...I'm just not happy anymore...he's so focused on his job that he doesn't have time for me.."

"Then that is what cheating is about! If you get tired of someone, take some time behind their back and get someone new for a while."

Hinata almost choked off her tea as it went down her throat because of Sakura's comment. "and why would I do that?!"

"Because you don't want to lose him, or you'll lose his money."

"Sakura! I wouldn't want to lose him anyway--"

"--Why?"she asked, interrupting the more timid woman "is it because he was the only man you had ever been with in you're whole life?"

Embarrased, Hinata looked away from the table where they were sitting and glanced at the other people in the restaraunt. Luckily, nobody had enough intrest in either of them to eavesdrop.

"Listen, Hinata."Sakura said, getting up from the table after leaving a tip. "You need to get over it; if Naruto isn't making you happy, just find a temporary fuck to tie you over--like a friend with benefits." She smiled at the other woman "I'll even help you find somebody who suits you. I never did like that knuckle-head anyway.."

With that, Sakura walked away, leaving Hinata to think it all over.

'Maybe she is right..' she thought as she finished the last bit of her drink 'I can already see that I'm not happy. But Naruto seems to be happy whenever he sees me--the little he does see me..' The Hyuga sighed and left a tip also, getting ready to leave. "What does Sakura know, anyway??"she asked herself aloud, but only in a whisper so nobody else could hear. "That's probably why she's single now.."
