Inner self talk
Hinata talking to her inner self
Chapter 2: Ramen Break
Hinata's POV
'The only ones left are Sasuke and Sakura. I wonder if I should tell Naruto they're together.' She thought to herself before they passed Ichiraku.
"Hinata-chan, can we stop for some ramen? I haven't had any in ages." Naruto asked nervously scratching his head.
"U-umm s-sure N-Naruto-kun." She felt her face warm at the thought of being somewhere with him. She entered the shop to be greeted with a,
"Hello hin-. Is that Naruto?" from behind the counter. Naruto smiled and put his hands behind his head.
"Yeah it's me how've ya been?" he laughed as he took a seat and began looking at the menu.
"Hey Naruto pick anything it's on the house." He smiled when Naruto's face lit up.
"Hinata-chan what kind do you want." This took me by surprise I didn't really think about eating. I looked at him his bright blue eyes gazing at me.
"U-um I'll t-take s-some p-pork miso." I said my face becoming redder than before. I took a seat next to Naruto.
"Hmm I'll have what Hinata-chan is having." He smiled making me blush harder. "Oi, Hinata-chan do you have a fever or something?" he asked as he put a hand to my forehead.
Don't you dare faint.
Who are you?
I'm your inner self.
I have an inner self?
Yes now listen to me do NOT, I repeat NOT, faint.
Okay besides this may be the last time I can be like this with Naruto-kun.
Hopefully not but you're right. So don't screw it up.
"Oi, Hinata-chan, are you okay?" Naruto asked worry clear on his face.
"Y-yes I-I'm fine. I w-was just th-thinking." I replied quickly. He nodded but didn't look convinced. Just as our ramen came we heard,
"Is that you Naruto?" we turned to see Sakura and Sasuke hand in hand. In the threshold of the shop. Shock and confusion clearly on their faces, their eyes as big a plates. "But y-you were d-dead." Sakura choked out the last word.
"Why does everybody keep saying that?" he said a little too loudly. He turned to me then back to them, "Can someone explain it to me?" he said aggravation thick in his voice. I sighed the spoke up,
"Naruto-kun, about two years ago they found your coat in shreds with blood everywhere. When they brought it back everybody assumed you had been killed." I stopped to let him absorbed it all.
"So they found my shredded jacked and thought I was dead. Is that why Baachan was crying?" he asked after a few moments of silence. I nodded feeling a little sad because everyone thought he had died.
"That's what everyone was told. That you had died and to be strong in your absence." Sasuke finally spoke after ordering some ramen. We sat there and continued to talk until Tsunade-sama barked,
"Where have you been you were supposed to report back to my office an hour ago Hinata!" I looked down at my watch and saw she was right. I shrieked and took off running to get everyone else.
Naruto's POV
"It's my fault Baachan. I wanted ramen. Then Sasuke and Sakura came in and we started talking about the past two years. I guess we lost track of time." I said nervously trying to save Hinata-chan from a lecture. I finished my ninth bowl of ramen before leaving a tip and heading toward the Hokage tower.
When I got there everyone even Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro were there. There was also a girl with shoulder length hair and brown eyes gripping Gaara's arm as if he would disappear if she didn't.
"Hey Gaara who's she?" I asked a little curious but also wanting to tease him a bit.
"Naruto this is Matsuri. She's my girlfriend and I'm glad to see you're not dead as everyone has said." He spoke so calmly it sent a shiver down my spine. She smiled lightly and nodded.
"Okay enough chit chat let's get back to business." Tsunade-baachan said from behind her desk.
