A/N: A few things to understand here. Naruto did not come to Hinata's aid in bullying or heartache or anything else. Someone else did.
That someone else is just a tad bit miffed that Hinata ended up with someone she barely even knew.
Somewhere within the sea of chaos that Hyuga and Nara had created with finally meeting eachother again stood someone who had been there for Hinata all her life. Sometimes things happen and people get left behind but that didn't mean this didn't hurt any less, it was one thing to hear about it in passing.
But to see two people finally meet again after having those damn timers placed, It was fucking maddening.
Wild eyes glanced at their own timer.
It had been stuck at Zero since the day it had been installed. At first they had thought that it was just a glitch and it would start eventually but no it never happened.
Because this particular person had already met their soul mate, and had to watch her meet her own in the most crushing way possible.
There was no way in hell this particular person could react though, It would be weird to even bring it up. After all best friends didn't do this type of thing, They were supposed to smile and be happy, Right?
Clap for their other friend on the side lines, make sure that the happy couple stayed happy. Even if it meant planning the wedding and praying to god that they could get drunk enough to forget the pain it caused.
"Isn't this great?" A mutual friend had been standing nearby asked.
There was no reply, The question was no more than white noise in a sea of hurt that this blue eyed beauty was feeling currently.
A deeper voice broke this person out of the spell for a moment.
"C'mon Ino, Let's get out of here."
The blonde haired bombshell took the hand of Sai Shiruma, resident artist still trying to process the fact that Hinata was no longer hers alone.
She now had to share her with someone she barely even knew...
