Chapter 2: You Had Me At Hello

Hinata stared at him dumbly. She thought she had gotten passed freezing up in front of him! Some time had passed since she had seen him so close though. She was unprepared to run in to him on an errand in the village.

She managed to return his greeting, though she was unable to meet his eyes. What was she supposed to do? He knew how she felt now, there was no taking it back. Now that all her soul was bared to him, he had more power over her than anyone else.

She could only hope he understood that.
