Turning Point
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Author's Note: Naruto anime is an excessively long series. I have no idea when are they going to put an end to it. But I'd be waiting for that time. Here's another fanfiction from cerulean-assassin and I hope you'll like this. This one is some sort of a sequel to Unexpected Changes. But it's a different story.
Chapter 1: Roses or Daffodils?
Hinata dropped by the Yamanaka flower shop, she saw Sakura and Ino giggling at the counter. She was wearing a sky blue blazer over a ninja shirt that was netted on the neck and three-fourth pants. She walked inside silently and greeted them.
"Good Morning!" It was a delightful greeting but too soft enough.
"Oh hi, Hinata-chan!" Sakura replied, as Ino waved a hand with a smile.
"Ino-chan, I-I want a dozen of white roses." Hinata spoke hesitantly.
"What's the occasion Hinata-chan? Is it your granny's birthday?" Ino asked nosily. Hinata blushed at her question and paused for a while, thinking if she should tell them for whom those flowers are.
"I-I overheard from Kurenai-sensei that Naruto would arrive this afternoon."
"Really?" Sakura asked with surprise.
"Yes. And do you think white roses are enough?" She shyly uttered.
"I think daffodils are prettier!" Ino straightly said out.
"No, roses are still the best." Sakura confidently contradicted.
"Roses are boring for me, they were the always ones guys buy here for their girlfriends—"Ino defended but was interrupted quickly by Sakura.
"That's the point, because roses are romantic!"
"You knew nothing! I bet Sasuke has never gave you anything because I'm the one that he likes!" Ino mocked.
"You're wrong. He was just waiting for the right time to tell me his true feelings—"
"Excuse me," Hinata raised her hand between their faces. "I think it's better if you just give me six white roses and six daffodils. Would that be alright?" She calmly said.
"Are you sure Hinata-chan?" Ino asked with a frown, a little embarrassed. She gave a quick nod and Ino stood up and went to get her order. Sakura leaned closer to Hinata and caress her long, shining, blue-black hair.
"I envy your beautiful hair..." Sakura uttered with a regretting tone.
"Envy? Me? I just brush this every night before I sleep, I never thought it would come up to this result." Hinata thought it was the first time, someone of her own sex admired her. And it was surprising that it was Sakura, considering that she was one of the pretty ninjas in this village.
"Here it is girl! I'm sure he'd like it!" Ino teased.
"Uh-huh, I don't think Naruto-kun is very particular of flowers." Sakura spoke boringly. Hinata gave her the payment.
"Thanks to both of you, guys. I gotta go." Sakura followed her way out.
"Sakura-chan," Hinata called. "Why can't you grow your hair long?" Sakura let out an exasperating sigh. "Kakashi-sensei told me to keep it like this. It is more comfortable when we go on to missions."
"What did Sasuke say about it? Isn't it that—"
"I...I just do hope he would say something."
"I'll go Sakura, I might not see him when he get down the ship."
"Sorry if I can't go with you now, I promised Ino that I'd help her in the flower shop."
"It's okay, bye!" She ran away beaming from Sakura.
