Hinata was walking around the village hidden in the leafs. Her home . She just finished training by herself . Today was the day tusnade allowed her to get back to her normal training regimen and she could also sign back up for missions after Sakura checks her out . That was where she was headed now.

Once she reached the hospital she went to the main desk to talk to the receptionist .

"Is Sakura-chan in ? "

"Yes she is . Third floor go to the nurse counter ."

"T-thank you." And with that she went on her search for the pinkette. Once she reached the third floor she didn't have to look long for Sakura because she appeared right in front of her .

"Hey Hinata-chan ! Are you hear to get looked at ?"

'H-hello Sakura-chan but yes I am I-if your not too b-busy? "

"You actually chose the best time I'll examine you and we can go to lunch since its about to be my lunch break . What do you say sound good ?" The smiling girl in front of her asked.

"Uh yes " Hinata couldn't help but return the smile .

" well come on then let's get you Checked out ." With that Hinata followed the beauty to the examination room. Sakura checked out the scar on her side it was going away . The skin was a little tender but that was it . It improved a lot in the two weeks from when she first received it .

"Well looks like everything is healing perfectly and that there are no more traces of poison in your system. So you can get back to missions ASAP . " she told her smiling .

"Thank you" Hinata whispered . Sakura kept writing on the papers .

" no problem Hinata . Here is the papers you can go give them to tsunade-sama ." Hinata took the papers and put them in her jacket and smiled at the medic-nin .

"Well lets go grab something to eat Hinata-chan I'm starving !"

"Ohh okay ." With that the two of them went on there way .

"Hinata-chan how about irchiraku ramen ?"

"Yes it sounds g-good Sakura-chan?" Maybe she would even be able to see naruto . Thoughts of naruto filled her head all the way till they ordered food. Sakuras voice broke threw her thoughts of the blonde boy.

"So Hinata-chan how have you been ?"

" ohh I've been good just b-been resting s-since the injury . How about you Sakura-chan ?"

"I've been well just got back from a mission with sasuke-Kun and naruto yesterday ." She said smiling . After hearing the avengers name Hinatas heart sunk she still hasn't had the time to say thank you to the last uchiha. When Sakura noticed Hinatas face drop she asked

"What's wrong ?" Hinatas face grew bright.

"Oh n-nothing it's just I h-haven't got to say my t-thanks to uchiha-Kun yet ." She felt the guilt fill up her heart . He saved her and she didn't get to even say thank you .

"Oh .. It's okay sasuke isn't the type to get mad because you didn't get to say thank you ... "

"Yes I k-know but if it wasn't for h-him I wouldn't be ..." Hinata trailed off . She absent minded touched her side . Sakuras green absorbing eyes noticed this

"I was shocked when he brought you to the camp unconscious and told me to heal you . When I asked him what happened he didn't say anything about how you became unconscious . Just you were injured the day of the fight with the rouges and that you were poisoned ."

"Ohh" she heard Hinata whisper .

" yeah kiba, naruto, and shino were all worried about You. Naruto and kiba were blaming sasuke yelling at him until shino spoke up first. Saying that all sasuke did was save you.. "

"Shino-Kun.."

"Yeah he stopped the fight . Kiba and naruto even apologized . Hahaha . Could you imagine that ... But Hinata I know about how you got the injury but ..." Hinata noticed Sakura face start to get red . Her hands were in fists too . Was Sakura getting mad at her . She decided to speak

"Sakura-chan you c-can ask me a-anything.."

" Sorry but ..How did how did sasuke find out about your injury in the first place and why was he the one who put you in a genjutsu?" Hinata face grew red at the memories . Her heart started beating fast at just the thought.

"W-well uhh ..." She started playing with the hem of her jacket . She didn't need to go into full detail about what happened . Her face grew red while she spoke

" h-he found me cleaning my I-injury... " she looked up to Sakura who was eyeing her like a hawk hungry for more information. Looking back down Hinata continued

"He then e-ended up looking at it a-and stated it was poisoned.. He told me to go to you to heal it .. I-I didn't want to b-burden you or anyone so I s-said no .. He then got upset w-with me and said he d-didn't care if I wanted to d-die after this mission... he didn't care .. I didn't know the w-wound was that bad b-but before I could a-ask more I was k-knocked out .."

Hinata finished . She looked over to see sakuras reaction she was shocked to see the medic-nin smiling and then laughing . Hinata was confused why was she so happy and bubbly again she seemed mad before.
Sakura who looked to Hinata and noticed her confused face decided to explain .

"Well now I kind of understand why sasuke-Kun acted that way . You know about his past right and how he was against us at one time until the war when he decided to join us and because of his help we won the war .." hinata looked to see the solemn face Sakura made as she quieted down then she continued on

"Well in the beginning even now no one really truly trusts sasuke-Kun maybe except me and naruto . So during these past years his loyalty is still slowly being tested, his reputation rebuilded . They trust him to get the job done and know he is a strong ninja but the Ice is thin... Ever since he started up his missions he never once let any of his team mates die ... " the air became thick and so many thoughts went threw Hinatas head . She decided to finally speak

"Because if he a-allowed someone from his t-team to die all his hard work w-would be in vain ... "

"Yes and no . Sasuke may act like jerk sometimes but he wouldn't let his team mates die if he could prevent it even if his reputation wasn't on the line .. He also ...He just likes to act all uncaring ."

Hinata smiled at Sakura and thought about the uchiha as their food arrived. When Sakura talked about sasuke she could see the fire in her eyes. Hinata decided to finally speak as her face grew red just from the thought of her next words

" I I I kind of think I u-understand why you like u-uchiha-Kun so much. " at this Sakura almost chocked on her food .

"Haha yeah .." Sakura made eye contact with the Hyuga .

"Well to be honest with you I kind of thought that you and sasuke had a thing going on .. " she began a shamed

"When I saw him bring you to the camp .. I saw his emotions ...he is usually so...never mind haha but That's kind of why I wanted to have lunch with you Hinata .. To find out ..I'm sorry please forgive me !" She admitted guiltily. Hinatas face reddened at her words and shock was Evident on her face . She looked down to her noodles.

"It's o-okay Sakura-chan .. T-there is n-nothing to w-worry about ."

"Yeah I know it was just my jealously haha I know you are in love with naruto !" Sakura stated as she began to finish her meal .

At this statement Hinata couldn't help twitching and redefining how red her face could get . She also couldn't help but think about how much naruto loved Sakura . She starred at the beauty next to her . She understood why naruto loved her she was strong,smart,and also honest.
She also learned why Sakura loved sasuke so much . Everyone had different feelings and had there perfect image of who they wanted to be with. She loved naruto his smile, determination, his spirit, and courage. Naruto loved Sakura everything about her he loved even the way she hit him. Sakura loved sasuke for everything he was and even everything he wasn't . Then how about sasuke who did he like . That is something she didn't know she blushed at the thought of his touch she still remembered the feeling like it was yesterday. the goose bumps.. Shaking those thoughts she turned her head to look at sakura who just finished eating . A small smile graced Hinatas face . Who ever sasuke loved would be a lucky person she concluded.
As They put down the money to pay for the meals they turned to each other and smiled as they walked out the ramen shop .

"Well I had fun . We should do this again ! So I'm off I need to Finnish my shift at the hospital . Bye Hinata-chan !" Sakura said cheerfully .

"Bye Sakura-chan . I I be happy to h-have lunch with you again "Hinata softly told the pinkette .

With that they parted their ways . Hinata turned around one last time to see Sakura but when she turned around Sakura was not by herself but with the blonde boy she admired so much. She smiled sadly as she turned back around after seeing them argue and talk with one anther. Him offering to walk her to work and not taking no for an answer. She knew he loved Sakura and knew why Sakura loved sasuke but why didn't Sakura love naruto or naruto love her ... Would they ever open there eyes/minds to see someone else something new but even so could she do that .. huy...With these thoughts filling her head she walked towards the hokage tower .
