Complicated Love
In a field of beautiful flowers you see four girls sitting. One of them (me, Hinata) has black/dark purple hair. I have a grayish black shirt on that has black mesh in the front which points into a small triangle. It rests just under where my fire nation head band rests around my neck. On top of my shirt I wear a tanish/sandy colored long sleeved jacket with a fire symbol at each elbow sewed into it. It has a white fur lining at the bottom. And I wear pants that match my hair. The thing that makes me different from most people is my eyes. They are a whiteish clearish color and they have no pupils visible. Sitting next to me is a girl from a different nation, you can tell by her headband tied around her neck. She wears a white fitting dress that ends at about 3/4ths down her thigh. It has a red sash that in it she keeps a fan that is just as tall as her. Her dress has black mesh circling around the collar too. She has blond hair tend into two short pony tails. Her name is Temari and she's always cleaning her fan. It's white with three big purple dots on it. On the other side of me is Ten Ten. She wears a pink shirt that has red trimming around her arms. The shirt has yellow straps around the front of it. Her pants are green. Her hair is brown in two buns on her head and a few pieces of loose hair pile on top of her headband. Next to Ten Ten is Sakura. She has unnatural light but bright pink that she had to cut short in a battle. She wears a red dress that has white circles on it that has slits in it that goes up to her hips with green pants that end just above her knees. Her fire Nation headband she wears just in back of her long bangs that end at her chin.
"So let me get this straight." Sakura said, "What you're saying is that you like Naruto!"
"Um…well…yes…I do." I said nervously looked at my hands.
"Hinata…how can you like Naruto?!?! He's so annoying!" Sakura said in shock.
"It's your turn Ten Ten. Who do you like?" I asked. I didn't like it when people's attentions were on me.
"I like Neji." Tenten said looking away from me.
Neji! I was so surprised at Tenten. My gaze wandered always sliding past Tenten to see her expression.
"I see why you like him, he's powerful. But he nearly killed Hinata! How could you like him after that?!?!" Sakura yelled jumping up.
"That's why I feel kinda guilty by liking him." Ten Ten said bringing her gaze to look at me.
I didn't show any emotion on my face. "I'm sorry Hinata."
I took a deep breath and looked at Ten Ten with a blank face.
"I see no reason for you to be sorry Ten Ten. You have done nothing wrong."
Tenten let out her breath and smiled at me. I smiled back.
"So Temari, who do you like?" Ten Ten asked.
Temari smirked at the question, "Garra of course!"
"Ew! Why?!" Ten Ten asked.
Temari's eye's narrowed and her voice hardened, "Why not!?!?"
"We all know that Sakura likes Sasuke so that's no big surprise." Tamari said in a bored tone.
"This is…confusing." I said quietly.
"What do you mean it's confusing?" Sakura asked.
"Well…the festival is coming up soon…and we all want to go with the person we like right?" I said.
"What's the point of this Hinata?" Ten Ten asked.
"Well… How are we gonna go with the people we want to go with? I mean…Neji he isn't the type to go to a festival unless its one of the festivals at home, and that's only if he has to. Sasuke doesn't go to any festivals he doesn't like them. He would rather train and learn new Jutsu. Garra doesn't look like the type to go to a festival. Naruto doesn't like me, he likes Sakura." I said growing bolder with every word.
"Your right Hinata. This is very confusing." Temari said.
Love isn't confusing! It's just complicated!" Ten Ten said.
"Agreed!" Everyone said at the same time.
"What are we gonna do? I want to go with Sasuke no matter what the cost is!" Sakura whined.
She put her head in her hands.
"You have to get Lee and Ino off your back, along with Naruto." Temari said, "And that's not gonna be easy."
"Tell me about it!" Sakura said lifting her head up.
"Sakura…I…um…I could start offering to train with Naruto and to battle with him. He's always trying to perfect some new Jutsu. That could keep him off your hands for a while and I could learn to be calmer around him." I said.
Sakura jumped up and hugged me so tightly I couldn't breath.
"Oh that would be so wonderful! Oh thank you Hinata! Ask him if he wants to go out and get some Ramen. He loves Ramen just don't eat before that because he can be a pig when it comes to Ramen."
She let go of me.
"Now to deal with Lee and Ino." Sakura said in an annoyed voice.
"I could challenge Lee to a battle. He's still mad at me for how I treated Ten Ten in the Practice Battle, he can't believe that we're friends now!" Temari said looking up from cleaning her fan for a moment before looking back down.
"Just don't go easy on him, but don't kill him. If he ever had to face you in the Chunin Exams Lee would kill you." Sakura blurted out with a worried expression on her face.
We all gave Sakura a strange look.
"What! It's true he would kill Temari after that battle with Ten Ten." Sakura said with a sarcastic attitude.
"Anyway…Ino. You won't be able to get Ino off your back unless she stops liking Sasuke. And that's not gonna happen anytime soon." Temari said, "Let's get back to her."
"How am I gonna get Neji to even notice me? Let alone go to the festival with me." Ten Ten said annoyed.
"Same how am I gonna get Garra to go with me?" Temari said frowning.
"And how am I gonna get Sasuke to go with me when he acts like he hates me?" Sakura said.
"Um…Sakura…you could train harder, then Sasuke might act friendlier to you." I said timidly, "Ten Ten…I could try talking to Neji to find out if he's going to the festival and what he likes. But as for Garra, I'm not sure…Temari you could try talking to him more, find out about his childhood and try battling with him more."
"Thanks Hinata." Temari said sliding her fan into her red sash.
"You give really good advice Hinata." Sakura said.
I looked down at the floor.
"I just try to help out people as best I can especially when it comes to my friends." I said.
