Notes : This is it! I'm trying to be my own translater. Big challenge! Saying that, if this job interest someone... I'll cry tears of happiness! This chapter contain probably more errors than usual because kaotic312(who usually correct my work) is too busy wrinting her own amazingly wonderful fics that I enjoy and adore... So all my excuses! ;)

Chapter 4: Let it Be

Hinata's alone. The feeling of the sun's heat, and the cresses of the wind appease her. Kiba left her quickly and, since then, everybody seems to avoid the kunoichi. It's amazing how news travels fast. Well, then, maybe it's for the best. During her «training», Hinata had time to think. What should happen, will happen anyway. This story is weird from the begining, the only way to understand it, is to give it a chance. There's no need to lose happiness because of this.

A small sound warn the kunoichi of the arrival of someone. There's no surprise, before he even say a word, she knows it's him. « I knew that we had to meet again, someday.» Without moving, Hinata nod, and ask quietly, « You want a seat, Kankuro?» No answer comes, but the man sit beside her. Opening finally her eyes, she notice for the first time how the puppetist has change. The tattoo on his face disapeared, only to let place to a face marked by the worries and the pain. It may seem weird, she but finds this reassuring. Kankuro's eyes really saw, his heart really lived. It makes her feel less lonely and more confidente. She's not the only one, trying to hide that she's suffering.

Moment of silence, both are fascinated by the horizon.«You're in a odd situation.» Kankuro whisper in answers, «I know.» Carefully but camly, Hinata ask, « You're here for a long time?» The only sight could be the response, but the tired man add, «Who know?»

A chuckle escape the lips of the kunoichi.

«So, it's true...»

Kankuro get a surprise look. Half-frowning, half-smiling, he waits for an explanation. Hinata add, «You know, me and rumors...Kiba told me what is happening to you, but he is a man with a wide imagination...» The frowning disappear, and the smile get larger. «And yet, everything is true, everything is false! This mysterious fumble is here to entertain our poor souls! The Hokage lost patience and threw me out of her me to stay near, but out of her way, until a decision is taken. So... here I am.»

«I kinda envy you.»

The coment came from no where but since she said it, Hinata had to explain her statement to a perplexed Kankuro. «The world of the shinobis is so organize. It must feel good to ... I don't know... Stand out? I'm not sure how to explain it...» The puppetist interrupt her with a calm voice. « I know what you mean. Being here, not because I followed an order but because of my own free will... It does feel good. I wouldn't have thought possible that freedom had such a delighting taste...» This reflexion lead them on a other subjet. Kankuro add, « After all these years, would you want to be something else?» Before the sentence is even ended, it seem sacrilegious. How could she? But, since que question is ask seriously, Hinata take the time to really think about it.

«N...No. Even if I sometime doubt, I cannot imagine myself living the life of a docile heir or an obedient wife...»

A sparlke apppear in the eyes of the unwanted guest of Konoha. The girl get exactly why and admit humbly, « I know «docile» and «obedient» are words that doesn't seem to mismatch with me. Some believe that I am a real little saint. Some other... It depends of the point of view, I guess...» Her glance goes automatically in the direction of the Hyuga compound. A squall of bad memories hit her, and suddenly all warmness fade. Hinata litteraly shiver. Kankuro, put his arm around her neck. In a friendly way, to warm her... He doesn't know that what's cold is not the weather... only her past.

«Temari can't stand littles saints. She may have used some adjective like «pure» or «angelic» talking about you, but never « stupid egocentric pest »and well, if you hang out with her, you must have a little devil in you.» The man said his comment lightly, but Hinata's mind stopped. She ask shyly, «Temari talk to you... about me?» Kankuro frowned, not understanding this weird question. «Sure! Why?» A slight blushing colors the cheeks of the woman.

«I'm not the kind of person people usually remember...»

Hinata can feel the deception in the gaze of her friend's brother. «Your not a random stranger. You are her friend.» The statement leave a grin on the face of Hinata. Temari is her friend... She knew it, of course... but hearing it from the big brother... After a couple of second, surfing on a bubble of happiness, her-who-was-once-a-lady comment, «Well, you know now my biggest secret: I don't give my trust easily.» It only caused Kankuro to smirk, «Really!? I would never have guess it!!» Hinata heard the sarcarm in the man's voice, but she continued camly, « And , I have to tell you that I'm ready to beat the hell out of you if your behaviour is suspicious. I've calculated thirty-five way to knock you out before you can even blink.»

Kankuro feel that it could be some kind of joke but, carefully he move back. After all, he's not a short range fighter and, she definitely is. A small chuckle betray the kunoichi.

«You're weird.»

With a mischievous face, Hinata correct him. «You mean charming?» The puppetist roll his eyes and sigh. «Yeah. Right. Charming... I knew you had a little devil in you...» Both of them start to laugh. More than they should, after all, that's not the joke of the centurie but it feel good. For once, life is light. Without thinking, Hinata drop her head on Kankuro's shoulder. After a moment of silence, his unconfortable voice whisper, « I don't wan't to spoil the moment but... I'm not in Konoha to find a girlfriend.» It provoked less reaction than he expected. The woman doesn't move, « I know. It's not an attempt to seduce you. I just feel good with you, and you look like you feel good too... All Konoha is now obsess by a question: what is the nature of our relation? Personally, I don't care. Leave them the questions...and let it be.» Slowly, Kankuro seem to relax, «You're right.»

They close their eyes, and slowly fall asleep. Their spirit are calms, not bad dreams or terrible guilt wake them... Finally.

Sooooo, Liked, Loved, Hated?
