Chapter Two:

Reminiscing The Past

Hinata Hyuuga fell in love. Not with Naruto-kun who was funny and warm, not with Kiba-kun who treats her kindly, not with other boys but with Sasuke-kun. He was nothing but cold and scary yet he had stolen her heart.

As of today, she made her bento for , she made two of them. Yesterday she also made two, one was for her and the other one for Sasuke but she didn't had enough courage to give it. She puffed her cheeks as her pale skin started to turn red. "Courage, courage, courage," She repeatedly chanted between her breaths.

A year ago, she saw Sasuke petting his crow at the park. She unintentionally gazed at him for a while. At first she liked his smile, his gentle face he had especially while with his crow pet. From then on, Hinata visited the park to simply take a look at him. One day, while she was secretly watching him from afar, his crow flew to her. She panicked of course especially when he saw Sasuke running towards her and landed on her head.

"He likes you… huh," he chuckled. Hinata blushed. Her heart looked like it wanted to get out from her chest. She was simply at the state of panic. He, Sasuke who was so far out of reach was inches away from her. She still can't believe he talked to her. "You should be his friend," Sasuke added while getting his crow.

"T-thank you very much! I-I'm sorry for bothering you!" and with that, Hinata ran away from them. She reached her house and rushed inside her room. Upon closing her door, she slowly slides on it. She kept flashing what happened earlier to her mind.

"W-we talked for the first time, and… he seems nice…"

After that, she changed her place where she was secretly watching him. But then after the day he talked to her, she never saw him again. She researched what school he was attending to and when she found it out, she begged for her father to be transferred there. It took a while and now, she finally started schooling at Konoha High School.

To her surprise, he wasn't the same Sasuke she met at the park. He was easily irritated and he is totally the opposite of the man she was stalking before. It's been almost a month since she started attending the same school and section as him. No matter how she wanted to ask if he remembers her, she just simply turned into a jelly, trembling and out of control.

After the first two periods, it is now recess time. She cleared her throat. She decided she will give him the bento she made for him. She slowly turned at her back only to find out he wasn't there anymore. Of course she was disappointed.

"Sasuke left a while ago," Kiba, her seat mate told her. "You should not talk to him you know.." he added.

"W-why is that… uhmm, Kiba-kun?" she asked not looking at him. She bowed her head letting her long hair and bangs curtain her face. She was depressed. She stared the bento covered with blue bandana with teary eyes. She wondered if Naruto was saying she's ugly- more like uglier than the rest of his fan club so she should stop thinking of giving him bento for lunch.

"First, he hates girls…. Well, except Sakura, I think. She's his girlfriend." He rubbed his nose. Upon hearing this, Hinata clenched her fists. The man he loves for more than a year loves someone and it's not her. Her heart was broken.

"I-I see," that was all she could say. So… Sasuke was cold because he has a girlfriend and he only shows his bright side; the Sasuke she knew, to Sakura?

Is he happy?

Other thoughts came rushing in but she only knew one thing. The bento she made… she can never give it to him. She should never make any more bento just for him. She should stop her feelings. She must learn to un love him especially now that she knew he had a girlfriend.

It was lunch time. The room was quite since most of her classmates headed to the canteen. But if you listen carefully, you could hear her heart breaking. Some teardrops rolled out of her cheeks and she wiped them secretly hoping Kiba wouldn't see it. But she was wrong. Kiba of the Inuzuka family was a keen observer. He regretted telling her those words. But it's best. Sasuke was a cruel man. That's what he knew. He simply didn't want the beautiful gentle girl beside her get dumped by Sasuke in a most embarrassing way.

Or was it because he liked her?

Kiba sighed. "Here…" he said giving her his handkerchief. Hinata's confused face greeted him. He just shove it lightly to her face and when she held the hanky, touching his hand he retreated then ran outside their room.

Yup. He liked her.
