Hi! How you've been! I'm here with the news that they finally gave me a computer at work! So maybe next chapters are going to take a little longer but they will keep coming, I'm falling in love with this story ^-^
Anyway, this 4th has two parts because otherwise it would have gotten too long and I don't know if you would have liked it.
Please tell me what you think of the writing of the characters, and if you would like to read from someone's perspective in particular.
I thank very much to those that have read, reviewed and followed this story, you keep me inspired and I love you all so much!
On with the story! (The second part of the chapter will be posted tomorrow night)
Naruto's characters are not mine.
English is not my first language, so I will thank you if you point out any grammar or spelling mistakes.
"This is the third time this week they arrive together, right?" Chouji asked to confirm the times Kiba had counted. They were watching Hinata and that Gaara boy talking, her smile was almost permanent on her face.
"Yes" they were at the back of the class waiting for Kakashi-sensei to arrive. The dog lover boy had borrowed Shikamaru's sitting place, next to him.
"Do you think they're dating?" Chouji had to stop eating his bag of chips to ask the question that's been plaguing everyone's heads since Kiba told the group about them.
"I hope not! Can you imagine how Sasuke will get!? Plus I don't think so, from what I know she's still smitten with Naruto" Kiba's yelling voice lost its volume as he talked thanks to Chouji's not so subtle "sh" sign.
"Well, Sasuke has never told her, or anyone about it yet, if Gaara wins her over it would be fair and square" he continued with the chips, as he spoke the true. Sasuke was too obvious about his feelings for Hinata, everyone knew, except maybe Hinata and the ever so oblivious Naruto.
"Yeah, but who knows? Maybe she will end up with Naruto after all hahahaha" Kiba laughed loudly at his own lame joke, but to Chouji it wasn't funny.
"What do you think will happen? If they do end up together... the group would be torn in two. Sasuke would never be able to forgive Naruto" Chouji was honestly worried, he really cared about all of his friends including the cold hearted Uchiha. Losing Hinata would be a real blow to him.
"That is not going to happen Cho, don't worry" the Inuzuka sounded too sure of himself "anyway, you are going to play with us today right?" The question made Chouji grow nervous, he knew he was a good baseball player, but he didn't want to lose a Hyuga-Uchiha match "I don't know, I don't want to face Sasuke's wrath if we lose"
"We are not going to lose Chouji! We have you, Naruto and me! Plus Shino! We really need you, we need at least five players, and we both know Shikamaru will not want to cover your place" again Chouji had to shush Kiba.
"Fine I will play but if we win the barbecue will be on you" Chouji felt more confident now.
"Ahahaha fine, as long as you show us your game big guy!" The not so soft pat on the back he received from the dog boy stung more than he thought it would.
She sighed, another Hyuga-Uchiha match. She really loved her best friend/crush since god knows when but she really didn't know what the fuss was all about: Sasuke liked Hinata, Neji didn't want his cousin to date him… or in general, seriously he needed to let that girl grow old now! This rivalry over a girl was getting ridiculous!
"Hi Tenten-chan" speaking of the devil, Hinata greeted her at the benches of the baseball field. She was followed by Sakura and Ino.
"Hi Hinata, hi girls, please take a seat" maybe the younger Hyuga and her friends company will make this match a little more interesting. The three girls seated next to her.
"Hi Tenten, how you've been?" Sakura has always been nice to her, but she really thought the obsession she had with the Uchiha wasn't healthy.
"Fine thank you" she answered truthfully.
"Huh? There are a lot of guys in Neji's team that I don't know" Ino's first words weren't a greeting but that was her, so it was ok to Tenten.
"Ah yes, the big one's name is Kankuro, the pale one with the creepy smile is Sai and the red haired... I don't remember his name, but he is Kankuro's little brother" she explained to the blonde girl.
"Gaara-kun" the shy girl's voice took everyone by surprise.
"What's that Hinata?" Ino beat her to ask.
"The red haired boy, his name is Gaara-kun, he goes in the same class as me" oh! Look at that! A blush! Hinata only blushed when talking about Naruto, this was getting interesting.
"Isn't he the guy you've been arriving with lately?" Ino seriously did not have filters, but this got better and better, she didn't know about Hinata arriving with someone which meant that Neji didn't know either.
"I-I-I haven't been arriving with him! We just happened t-t-to walk the same way on s-some mornings!" Wohohoho, the stuttering came back! Hinata was really suffering this!
"Watch out Hina-chan or you might find yourself in between Gaara-Neji's matches from now on!" Tenten couldn't help it, she had always liked Hinata (the older girl had been Neji's friend since elementary school, so she got along really nicely with the younger Hyuga. That was actually how she ended up meeting the other two girls).
"What?! N-n-no, I don't know what you're t-t-talking about" she casted her eyes down, suddenly her hands grabbing her skirt tightly was so much more interesting than the game she came to see, her hair covering her dark red face.
"Hahaha relax Hina-chan, is a joke! Right girls?" Tenten turned to look at the younger girls and was not surprised by their gloomy looks, they both new the Uchiha had a thing for their friend but neither wanted to give up their pursuit, especially since said girl didn't seem to notice Sasuke's attention because her heart belonged to the dark haired guy's best blonde friend. Junior high life was so much more interesting than senior high's.
Plac! The sound of the ball being hit made her turn to the match. It had begun.
Like I said, next part will be posted tomorrow night. All because I need to do some arranges to the baseball slang.
R&R!
