Chapter 1:Sasuke
Uchiha Sasuke always thought all girls stupid.
"Sasuke-kun! Sasuke-kun!" The girls would scream every bloody time he was in sight.
"I love you Sasuke-kun!" An annoying pink haired girl would scream while a blonde would call out;
"Back off, Sakura! He's mine and you know it! Can't you tell that Sasuke-kun likes me more?!"
Which was a false statement because he hated them both.
Another day of fan girls. Great. How come I have to put up with this kind of nonsense at the age of 12?
Sasuke thought as he rubbed his sore temples. That's when he noticed the silent Hinata sitting in the corner staring and blushing at the blond dobe again.
I really wish everyone would be as quiet as my sister. Seriously, girls are so annoying.
He thought and started to walk over to his sister.
Hinata didn't notice Sasuke's presence until he tapped her desk. Her white eyes met Sasuke's black ones.
"Staring at the dobe again?" Sasuke said with a smirk. He loved to embarrass his sister.
Hinata blinked a couple of times then a red streak crossed her pale cheeks.
"W-w-what?! N-n-n-no! I-I-I…" She said and waving her hands in the air in a defensive way but, could not finish her sentence. She struggled for words for a while then her head and hands dropped towards the ground.
"…yes I was staring…" She finished with a tomato face, two index fingers poking each other.
Sasuke's smirk broadened. His sister could be so easily embarrassed. It amused him.
"I thought so. I don't understand you though. You could go for a better guy than him. I mean, he's so loud."
Sasuke emphasized the loud-ness . Naruto's voice gave him nightmares. The annoying chattering. Ugh.
Sasuke shuddered.
"He m-m-may be loud b-but he's really…nice. A-a-and he has c-confidence. S-s-something I will n-n-never have." Hinata whispered. Her face saddened.
Sasuke's expression immediately turned irritated.
"Ugh. Hinata. Don't start with that again. Seriously, confidence isn't that hard to get. Ok? Trust me. It'll come to you some day. Everybody gains confidence." He said in a slightly exasperated voice.
How many times has he spoken these exact words to her before? Oh right. Like a million times.
"Everybody -- except me." Hinata muttered under her breath.
Sasuke was unable to hear as the bell rang for the day's start.
At the end of the day, Hinata gingerly gathered her belongings.
Sasuke has soccer practice today. So I guess I'll have to walk by myself today.
Hinata was about to walk out the school gates when she heard someone call from behind, sounding more like a shriek than a call.
"Hinata-chan!"
Hinata looked back to find a pink haired beauty running across the field towards her.
Sakura was puffing when she reached Hinata.
"H-h-hello S-sakura-san." Hinata said with a small smile.
When Sakura gathered her breath, Sakura said; "I wanted to walk with you Hinata-chan."
Sakura smiled, showing perfect white teeth.
To Hinata, Sakura was the most beautiful girl she has seen. With emerald-like eyes, soft pink hair, lean figure and clear skin. Not only was Sakura pretty but, she also got perfect scores in her tests. It was strange that Sasuke didn't feel anything towards her.
Hinata and Sakura started out the school side-by-side.
The day was absolutely wonderful. With the sun shinning over the two, the breeze was carrying sweet scents of flowers off the ground and the birds chirping happily on trees. It was like a fairytale scene. Everything looked absolutely extraordinary.
While taking in the scene, Hinata noticed the fidgeting Sakura beside her.
Sakura seemed uncomfortable, like she had done something extremely bad and has not told anyone.
Her milky skin seemed unusually pale and sick, her eyes kept flickering side to side and her lips twitched every now and then.
"S-s-sakura-san, you l-l-look kind of sick. A-are you okay?" Hinata asked warily.
Sakura met Hinata's eyes for the briefest second and her lips parted but no words came out.
Sakura sealed her lips once more and held an expression of pain. Then the pain changed to thoughtfulness. The thoughtful expression changed again to one of whom has determination.
Sakura straightened her back, her eyes sharper; her skin seemed to glow with youth again.
She stopped walking and suddenly grabbed Hinata by her forearm.
Hinata jumped with a small shriek from the sudden gesture.
"Hinata. I have actually been meaning to speak to you about something. I didn't know if I had the guts to say it but… I have to ask! I hope you don't get offended. I am simply curious,"
Sakura paused to see Hinata's reaction.
Hinata became nervous. Small beads of sweat broke out from her forehead.
What could it be? Making Sakura-san this anxious?
Sakura took in the silence for a while then parted her fine lips and asked;
"Are you really Sasuke's sister?"
Hinata nearly fainted.
