Recap on Chapter 4
"Well I was avoiding you because you are so damn DENSE! How can you not know that I like you! But you never gave me a second glance! When Gaara confessed to you, I was jealous ok? I admitted it!" Sasuke yelled, angry. Hinata was speechless. 'I like you to Sasuke. But I just don't know how much. ' Hinata thought. "I-I-" Hinata stutter but no words formed. Suddenly Sasuke turned away from her and mumbled "Whatever…" and walked away from her. Hinata just stood there motionless.
'How could I not see that he liked me? Am I really as dense as Naruto? –Sigh- What now Gaara confessed as well did Sasuke! AND I haven't said anything to both of them yet! ARGH!!' Hinata thought as she just sat down where Sasuke was sleeping formerly. 'What am I going to do' Hinata whispered not seeing a pair of bluish, greenish eyes filled with hurt.
Chapter 5
Hinata needed some time alone to do some thinking. Since Hinata didn't need to do anything she went home to do some thinking about a two close friends. Hinata was pooped. When she got home she plopped down onto her bed and tried to understand her feelings.
Hinata POV
Gaara… I don't feel anything for him. My affection towards him is only sisterly. When I'm with him I feel protected and happy. Demo when I'm with Sasuke… It feels as if there's millions of butterflies; in my stomach and someone squeezing my heart. I also feel protected and happy. Gaara… I'm sorry… but I love Sasuke… Hinata finally cleared her thoughts and just remembered that Gaara was leaving today. Maybe he didn't leave yet… Hinata sighed and hurried to find Gaara.
Hinata ran out her house and suddenly bumped into someone. She looked up and saw Gaara's sister Temari. "Hello Temari-chan. Umm well I'm very busy so can you tell me where Gaara is?" Hinata said in a rush. "Ah… Hinata nice to see you too. Umm Gaara is about to leave right now. He's probably at the gates. If you hurry I think you can still catch up to him." Temari said with a smirk. I silently tanked her and ran to the gates. She saw Gaara at the gates sitting on top of the gates watching the sunset. I slowed down and tried to catch my breath. I saw Gaara look at me and so I ran to him.
For a while we just sat at the gates watching the sunset and said nothing. Hinata finally breaking the silence said as low as a whisper, "I'm sorry…" Gaara instantly knew what she was talking about and his face cracked a small smile. "So you chose Sasuke huh?" Gaara said.
Hinata couldn't hold it in anymore and started to cry silently. Gaara's face softened and tried to comfort his crying best friend. "Hinata I'm alright. If you're happy then I'm happy. But if that teme does something to hurt you I swear I'm going to come back and slice his head off." Gaara said as he pulled Hinata in for a hug. Hinata put her head on his shoulder and chuckled. 'I just turned him down but he's still being so nice to me.'
"Heh Gaara you're too nice to me you know." Hinata said and then gave him a kiss on his cheek as a goodbye and as a thank you. "I'll miss you." Hinata looked at Gaara and saw an amusing sight. 'I made THE GARRA blush' She chuckled at the sight.
Sasuke POV
Hinata was in an alley watching the two lovebirds on top of the gate hugging. 'I guess this means she chose Gaara.' Sasuke silently thought depressed. Sasuke looked back up at them and saw Hinata kiss Gaara on the cheek. Now he was fuming. His heart felt as if it broke into a million pieces. Not wanting to see anymore of them he silently swore that he would hurt Hinata as much as she had hurt him.
Turning to leave he saw Sakura coming to him swaying her hip seductively. Or at least what she thought was seductive; to me she looked like she was walking like a chicken. Not wanting to deal with her he turned to somewhere else and was about to leave. But then a sudden call for him made him stop. "Sakura." He greeted. "Sasuke-kuun. I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me tonight." She said blushing. Sasuke almost rolled his eyes. 'Will she ever change?'
I was about to decline but then I saw Hinata coming over to where he was with a huge smile on her face. He scowled but then smirked as he got an idea. He approached Sakura and inwardly groaned… 'This is just payback nothing more' he thought trying to convince him. He suddenly kissed Sakura on the lips and he felt Sakura tense as he did. He looked over to where Hinata was and smirked as he saw her frozen in a middle of step. He turned to Sakura and said, "Sure Sakura-chan I would love to go on a date with you" With that said he left a stunned Sakura and a hurt Hinata.
Hinata POV
'What… I… I can't believe I actually thought that he would love me back… I'm such a fool!' she thought trying to hold in her tears as she watched the love of her life kissing Sakura. Not wanting to watch anymore she ran away from the scene
It has been weeks since Gaara left and the heart breaking scene, all of Hinata friends all noticed a change in Hinata. She was well more, cold quiet, and withdrawn. A lot of her friends asked her what was wrong and tried to comfort her but she would just crack a small smile and said 'I'm fine.' Hinata avoided Sakura and Sasuke like the plague, but whenever she did see him, he was always with Sakura and vice versa.
Hinata couldn't stand this anymore; she needed to get away from him. She went to see Tsunade. She knocked on the door and heard a muffled 'come in' She went into the room and closed the door behind her. "Hokage." Hinata said bowing in respect. Tsunade looked up and saw her and smiled. "Hinata-chan! What brings you here?" she replied cheekily. "umm I was wondering if you have any long term mission for me. Preferably an A-ranked mission." Hinata asked hopefully.
Tsunade sighed. She was about to shake her head 'no' but then saw how much she wanted this, needed it. She sighed and said, "Fine. There's a solo mission to rain country. Our sources say that they spotted a few Akatsuki members there and I want you to investigate. If they cause any harm I want you to report to me immediately with a summoning or letter. Doesn't matter which. Try to delay or hold it off as long as you can. For this mission I am giving you a year to complete. Try to also get as much information as you can about them. Here's your passport to enter rain country and some money for necessities. I will expect nothing less from my favorite little ANBU. Is that clear?" Tsunade said smiling motherly at Hinata. Hinata was ecstatic. She couldn't hold it anymore so she ran to Tsunade and hugged her tightly. "I won't let you down. Thank you so much." She whispered.
Tsunade chucked. "You leave today at midnight. So hurry and get ready. Oh this mission is top secret okay? So no telling anyone." Hinata smiled as she nodded and left out the Hokage tower. 'A year away from Sasuke and everyone…' Hinata smiled sadly. She wasn't watching where she was going and accidentally bumped into Naruto. She looked up at him and said, "Gomen Naruto-kun. I wasn't watching where I was going." "No problem Hina-chan!" Naruto replied and he helped Hinata off the floor.
"So… Hinata… why were you crying just now?" Naruto asked. Hinata looked confused until she touched her cheek. She felt warm liquid on her cheeks. "umm… no reason Naruto you don't have to worry." She replied smiling a very fake smile. Naruto was soused to fake smile from Sai and instantly knew something was wrong and wasn't going to give up.
"Hinata. You know it's better if you tell someone what's wrong instead of keeping it to yourself. I know something is wrong, you can tell me anything okay Hina-chan." Naruto said sternly. Hinata broke down and started to cry non-stop. "Shh…Hinata it's alright. Tell me what's wrong." Naruto said cooing her. Hinata stopped crying and started to tell him what happened between her, Gaara, and Sasuke. Naruto looked like he was about to kill his so called best friend for hurting Hinata like this.
"THAT TEME! I'MGOING TO MAKE HIM APOLIGIZE TO YOU IF THAT'S THE LAST THING I DO!" Naruto yelled. I could have sworn I saw his eyes turn red. "Demo, Naruto-kun I'm not going to be here. I told Tsunade that I needed to get away from everything and I requested for a long term mission and I got it. I'm going to be gone for a year." Hinata said interrupting his ramblings. Naruto stared at Hinata blankly and blinked at her. Hinata blinked also. Suddenly Naruto ran out of where he just was. "N-n- naruto?" Hinata said to no one. Hinata looked at the time and saw that it was 2 hours till midnight. She gasped and hurried home to pack her stuff.
Sasuke was about to go to sleep when he heard someone banging on his front door about to break it down. His eye twitches a little as he went down stairs and about to give the person there a piece of his mind. When he got there he swung open the from door and yelled "WHAT!" He scowled when he saw Naruto but suddenly a fist collided with his jaw and he fell onto the floor. When he looked back up he activated his sharingan and glared at Naruto. "What the fuck was that for?" he asked trying so hard not to beat up his best friend right now.
"THAT WAS FOR WHAT YOU DID TO HINATA!" Naruto yelled. Sasuke inwardly winced at the mention of his love of his life. He had been going out with Sakura to make Hinata jealous but so far it didn't work that well. He was surprised when every time they would somehow cross path she would shove him off as if he wasn't there and also the cold ad blank emotionless expression on her face. He was still in love with Hinata. He knew he couldn't deny it as much as he wants too. He wants Hinata, needs her.
He sighed and turned back to his best friend rambling and cursing him out. "HINATA ISLEAVING ON AFUCKING YEAR LONG MISSION TONIGHT!" he yelled, Sasuke was shocked, hurt, depressed. "So? What does that have to do with me?" he asked emotionless. "YOU IDIOT! DON'T YOU GET IT! HINATA CHOSE YOU! NOT GAARA! SHE LOVES YOU!" Naruto stated. Sasuke froze and whipped his head towards Naruto.
"S-She l-loves me? Not Gaara?" he mumbled. Naruto continued. "But when she saw you kissing Sakura, she lost faith in you and gave up on you! She told me how her heart breaks every time she sees you together with Sakura all lovey dovy! She wanted this mission, she requested it and it's also A-ranked to get away from you! She could die on this mission, DAMMIT! She said she couldn't take it anymore… You hurt her, badly. Hurry up and apologize before she leaves. I know you still love her…" Naruto stared at his best friend frozen from shock, sadness, regret, and most of all guilt.
Suddenly Sasuke ran out his house and ran towards the gates in hopes on seeing Hinata there while thinking only one thing. 'She chose me. She chose me. GODDAMMIT SHE LOVES ME! I'M THE FUCKING BASTARD!' When he got to the gates he waited and waited for her. 10mins, 30mins, now 2hrs passed. He went home depressed and fell onto his bed. 'I'm sorry Hinata.'
Ehh… well that's the end of the chapter. HOPE YOU LIKE IT!
