Chapter 2 – A love unnoticed

"Umm… I. Uh…" She stuttered, still unable t speak of it. She wondered if she should tell Kakashi, she looked at him, his Sharingan was out. Most likely he was looking where she was and he knew.

"Sakura, Look at me." Kakashi ordered.

"What is it Kakashi Sensei?"

"This. Sharingan Hypnotize!" His Sharingan began to rotate and she was in a hypnotic trance. "Now, what is bothering you Sakura. Let's start with Naruto…"

So Sakura proceeded to tell Kakashi everything, starting with when she was walking to his house and saw Hinata with Naruto. How she began to feel a jealousy that she had never felt before, how she wanted Naruto but never really knew it until right at that moment, the moment she knew that she could not have her. Then she went back, to when she first met him, how his weirdness was tolerable and when she had liked Sasuke, when he was just a little kid. Then she was silent for a long time, tears coming out of her eyes. Even though she was under the influence of the Sharingan, she was still able to comprehend what she was doing and was able to do some things.

She had not wanted to tell Kakashi all that, she had not wanted to say anything at all, but it was better that she had. Her ninja instinct finally kicked in and told her it was probably better that she say this now so she didn't hold on to it and it interfere with her life.

"I've heard enough." Kakashi put his protector back over his eye and Sakura collapsed onto the ground crying. "I'll be right back." Kakashi left, he was going into his house and he threw a bottle of water to Sakura. "You have already cried enough to fill the wave countries ocean." He chipped. He closed the door.

"Thanks", she said before she closed the door on her. She recollected herself and sat down on the steps. She was still crying furiously, she didn't know what came over her. She had never felt this way, why did she feel this way about Naruto of all people. She looked over at the ramen house and wondered what Naruto and Hinata were doing.

"What are you going to order Hinata?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Umm, maybe the ramen with ex-extra fish and bamboo shoots." She said. Only after a few minutes, she had already been able to get rid of her stuttering around Naruto. Her pleasure of his company was already overpowering her fear of being around him, her fear of his rejection and him not liking her. She was getting her courage back up to be around him.

"Well I'm going to have the same thing with extra meat in it. You really know how to eat ramen Hinata-san." Naruto said. He was extremely satisfied that she was with him. She was very pretty and he had never let out his real feelings for her because she was always acting so weird. Every time he had tried to talk with her she had either fainted or hit him away. At least that had stopped, he remembered the last 3 times she had put him in the hospital because she had hit him so hard with her gentle fist jyuuken punches.

They walked into the shop and sat down at both of the center chairs. They were the only ones there so Naruto was happy that it would not take long for their food to get done. "Hey, old man!" He called. Even though it would be fast he was still impatient for the food to be there.

"Hey Naruto, glad to see you, hey who's your friend you've got there. Out on a date are you?" He asked, nudging him silently.

"Oh, it's Hinata, one of the Main Branch Hyuuga clan." He stated. When Hinata heard this she started to blush. She did not know that he knew so much about her. And everyone still thought he was stupid.

"Yeah, my father is Hyuuga Hiashi, the clan leader." She said. (Thank you wolfdiablo for his name. For the life of me I couldn't remember it.) She was beginning to blush even more when, "Hey, Naruto are you and your friend gonna order!"

"Oh yeah, were hungry! Hinata wanted the Ramen with extra fish and bamboo. And I'll have the same thing with extra meat!" He said, throwing his fist into the air.

"Alright there, I'll have it done in a minute!" He leans over to Naruto and whispers, "this is on the house."

Naruto kept looking at Hinata, her hair, now long and down to her arms. How it was uniquely brushed. The way she kept looking at him with this strange, analyzing him softly. It was unlike him to feel this way. HE had never had anyone to care about him or care for him. I mean sure, he thought to himself, Sakura is my friend, so is Kakashi and Granny Tsunade, and plenty of other people, but no one has ever cared for me like this.

Hinata was thinking the same things. She had always been looked down on upon in her clan. She was always tossed out, especially after losing to Neji in the Chunin exams. Though now, over 2 years later, she has been able to redeem herself slightly, she has been able to come back but it has never been to her benefit. But then, when she looked at Naruto, all of that just melted away from her. She tried to shake this imposing feeling off but to no avail. She, just sitting a foot from him, felt happier now that he recognized her, than ever in her entire life.

"Here you two go, 2 deluxe ramen. Enjoy!" He said, dropping the ramen right in front of them. Naruto grabbed a pair of chopsticks and broke them apart. "Itadakimasu!" (Thanks firelord for the correction!)

"Wow, this ramen is good. I don't know why I haven't come here more often." Hinata said. She looked at the bowl, and a muddy reflection of her looked out of it. Looking up into a mirror she saw herself in a reflection. Then as she looked closer, she saw Sakura coming up to them. She was walking slowly, dragging her feet as though her heart had been ripped out. Then she realized that she was not coming to them but walking back to the Hokage's tower.

"Wow, this is really great ramen. I hope that this could be made better by more of those fermented bamboo shoots like I got you last time!" Naruto said, sucking down the last of his ramen.

"Yeah, it would be hard to beat those, or the diet ramen that you, Sakura, and Chouji helped make." The ramen shop owner said looking over at Sakura walking by. "Hello Sakura, we were just talking about you!" He called over.

Sakura had had an increasingly hard time since she had talked to Kakashi. She was sitting on his stairs crying while thinking what had happened. Kakashi came out of his house, fully clothed and had his book in tow. Make out tactics; he had never put it down after he had gotten it. Even after reading 4 times he still had to read it again and again because of what Naruto had done at the test he had given them.

"Well, I know that it is hard, even though you did not even know yourself that you had these feelings for Naruto." Kakashi said, trying his best to consol her. She was so torn up inside with feelings she did not understand it was hard for her to comprehend the words he was saying.

"I don't even know why I feel this way Sensei, I-I-… I can't love Naruto…"

"Or can I…"

"I don't know what to think anymore Kakashi, what am I supposed to do now?" She asked, she had stopped sobbing and was able to stand for a moment and speak normally.

"Well, your feelings are your own, I can't interfere. I can opinionate, but I can't tell you what to do with your feelings. But, I would say right now going and trying to be with Naruto out of your own jealousy alone while Hinata is there and is finally getting over her fears is not a good idea." He said supportingly. "I would recommend you find the source inside yourself, why are you feeling like this. Do you really care for Naruto and have been ignoring it all this time, or are you just jealous that you cant have him or Sasuke?" At that comment, she began to run tears down her cheeks again, not realizing that her pain was true. She loved Naruto.
