Chapter Nine: Obstacles
Next Day
(Second Hour- Lunch/Free Hour)
"You're really going to do all that Hinata? Isn't that kind of out of your character?" Sakura asked her shy friend.
"I have to do this! I mean… I cant let her just walk all over me…" Hinata said with a new attitude.
"Well I think that blonde bitch deserves it, I'm happy to help!" Ino said, proud that Hinata was no longer taking crap from Shion.
"Well I guess I'll help too, after all, her and Karin always bug me about my forehead!" Sakura said, now agreeing with both of her friends.
"Thanks guys!" Hinata said and then all three of them planned for what was to happen at five.
(Time skip, end of school)
Hinata was on her was home when she stumbled upon a store that sold work out clothes.
'Well I guess I could buy a cute outfit, after all…I have to look good!' she thought to herself, and entered the store.
"Thank you for coming, have a nice day!" kindly said the cashier.
"Thank you!" Hinata said back and made her way out. As she was walking, she began to feel bad and doubting her plan…
'Should I really do this? I mean if I do wouldn't I be stooping to her level? Two wrongs don't make a right… Ugh, I don't know what to do! I thought this would be a good idea but now I'm not so sure…'
"Hey watch where you're going!" spoke a deep voice, snapping her from her thoughts and causing her to stop and look up. She hadn't realized that she had bumped into somebody. The person she laid her eyes on was the last person she would expect to see.
"Sa-Sasuke?" she quietly said, obviously shocked that it was Sasuke in front of her.
"Yeah, you should pay attention where you're walking you know." He said with no emotion, very laid back and quiet.
"Oh my I'm so sorry! I'm just… I have a lot going on right now, my apologies…" she said, looking down. She couldn't look at him in the eyes; they were just so cold and scary.
"Whatever, you don't have to apologize so formally. Just be careful, something can happen to you if you don't watch where you're going." He said while he fixed his hair and looked up, he didn't want her to see his small blush.
"Oh y-yes! Thank you for worrying… Um… Ill see you later!" Hinata said, and ran away to get ready.
"Hm…Later." Sasuke said and calmly walked away as well. 'She's a weird one for sure.'
(Five o' clock)
"I really shouldn't do this kind of thing, it isn't me! I should just talk to her about it, it's a better way of straitening out! Yes, this is what I'll do!" Said Hinata as she made a call to her pink haired friend.
"The plan is off okay Sakura! Please let Ino know, she isn't picking up the phone and Naruto will be here any minute!" Hinata quickly said, and once she heard Sakura say yes, hung up.
"Lady Hinata, you're friend is here." A maid softly said and walked away.
"Oh thank you!" Hinata said and ran outside.
"Hey babe!" Naruto said as he went up to her to give her a soft kiss.
"H-hello Naruto!" Hinata said shyly, still trying to get used to being called babe by her boyfriend, it was nice!
"Wow! Who would have known you'd look so good in work out clothes!" Naruto said cheerfully as he checked her out.
She was wearing her hair in a high ponytail, with a lavender sweatshirt and black legging with black running shoes.
"Thank you, well we should go or we'll be late!" she said and they walked back to the schoolyard.
"Hm Sasuke, where is he! He's late!" Shion said as she tapped her foot impatiently on the floor.
Sasuke was wondering the same thing, but didn't feel like talking to her. He was here to train himself, not to help her. He knew what her real intentions were and thought it was annoying and immature. Therefore, refused to even respond to her questions. 'She's so annoying, where are you idiot!'
Just as he thought that, he saw the wild blonde and the shy tiny girl running towards them.
"SORRY WE'RE LATE!" the couple screamed as they made their way to their classmates.
"Hm, I wasn't aware that she was going to be here!" Shion said as she pointed to Hinata.
"Well she wanted to come, and she's my girl, why wouldn't I want her to come!" Naruto said, totally clueless that both girls didn't get along.
"Whatever. I'm sorry Hinata, but for the time being I'll be borrowing your Naruto! I hope that's okay." Shion said rhetorically, she was going to take Naruto from her, no matter what!
"Wait, wha-" Naruto said before Shion pulled him away.
"Well I guess it's just you and me huh?" Sasuke said plainly.
"Y-yes… I suppose so…" Hinata said softly as she watched Naruto laughing along with Shion.
"You shouldn't be jealous you know," Sasuke said bluntly, he could totally see the worry on her face as she watched Naruto and Shion.
"W-what! I'm not jealous…" She yelled. 'I'm not right?' Hinata asked herself.
"If anyone is jealous here, it's her," Sasuke said as he pointed at Shion, who was all over Naruto.
"Yeah… You're right" Hinata laughed as she saw Naruto pushing Shion away from him.
"Let's go run laps while those two idiots do whatever it is they are doing"
The two idiots weren't doing anything.
"Y-yeah!"
Two Hours Later
"Man, that was tiring! You're really good at sports Sasuke!" Hinata spoke up, complimenting him with a sweet smile as she wiped sweat off her face.
Then out of nowhere a mad Shion showed up with oil and feathers all over her body running towards Hinata!
"YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Shion said, tackling Hinata onto the floor.
"Excuse me!?" Hinata said, offended by the words Shion had just called her.
Just as Hinata tried getting her off, she saw a fist coming towards her and she flinched… but felt nothing. When she opened her eyes, she saw Naruto holding Shion by her arms and giving a cold glare. Hinata had never seen Naruto look so mad, and what was worse, he was not giving that look to Shion, but to her. Hinata. His Hinata.
"WHAT THE HELL HINATA!" Naruto screamed, he was pissed. He himself was covered in some feathers.
Hinata said nothing but instead got up from the ground and stared at ground, using her arms to cover herself. Almost like she wanted to hide herself, and stop herself from shivering.
"Hinata! Are you not going to say anything? Naruto said, letting go of Shion and moving closer to Hinata.
"W-what d-do you want m-me to say?" Hinata quietly said. She had no idea what was going on, and was scared because of the look Naruto had just given her.
"Don't act like you don't know! You set it up! Why would you do that? Look at her Hinata! She's covered in fucking oils and feathers!" Naruto said angrily, pointing at Shion who was trying to pick out the feathers that were stuck to her skin.
Hearing Naruto swear at her caused Hinata herself to look up at him angrily. She didn't say anything. She just kept looking at him. And then her face went blank.
"Ino…" Hinata whispered so quietly that Naruto couldn't even hear her, even as he stood so close.
"Hinata. Say something." Naruto demanded, he knew it was hard for her to talk when she felt scared, but still…He needed to know why she would send someone to do something to Shion, and for no reason too!
"N-Naruto… L-let me e-explain-"
"It's because she isn't as sweet and innocent as you thought she was Naruto." Shion interrupted, this was her chance!
"What?" Naruto said, turning around to look at Shion.
"Hm. While you and me were working out, she had all of this set up. I know it. She wanted to humiliate me. She isn't the nice girl you fell in love with."
'Love?' Hinata thought to herself, Naruto had never told her that he loved her… 'Did he tell Shion while they were alone…'
"Shion! I told you not to say anything! I don't know if I love her yet!" Naruto said out loud.
"Oh my bad Naruto. I'm sure you figured it out by now. She isn't who you thought she was. She just acts like a nice girl, but she really likes to make people feel joke. Just look at me!" Shion said as she turned around, showing all the feathers around her.
In all honesty, it wasn't the best prank in the world. It was a classic. Shion was making it worse than it actually was and for some reason Naruto was siding with her.
"Naruto stop!" Sasuke finally said. It was aggravating to watch his best friend being mean to his own girlfriend. Hinata didn't even get the chance to defend herself!
"What?" Naruto turned to Sasuke.
"Look. I get why you might be a bit angry but you used to do these stupid things too! Give Hinata a break. You don't even give a chance to explain herself. And to think you would believe anything Shion says is pretty stupid of you. She clearly likes you and is trying to break you up. Please, could you be any more stupid." Sasuke said, a bit angry but trying to keep his cool.
"Yeah but…" Naruto spoke up, not actually knowing what to say… He felt like a total ass now…
Hinata was surprised that he had defended her. They hardly ever talked, and yet he was defending her from her own boyfriend!
"Hinata lets go." Sasuke said, grabbing her hand and walking away. "This asshole needs to be alone for a while. And you Shion get home and shower you look ridiculous.
"Hey where are you taking her!" Naruto finally said
"Home. It's late, and I think the last thing she wants to do is walk with a jerk like you." Sasuke said calmly, he had enough of this.
"Heh… you're probably right." Naruto said with a fake smile, he really was a jerk. He didn't even offer to walk Shion home, he just left on his own with regret all over his body.
/Outside of Hinata's Home/
"…Thank you…" Hinata said shyly. The whole time they walked to her house, he hadn't talked to her but continued to hold her trembling hand.
"Yeah, give him a day, he knows he did wrong. Sure, you might have done something to her, but I'm sure she did something first right?"
"Yes…" Hinata said, remembering the incident in the bathroom.
"You might want to let Ino what happened too." He said bluntly
"What?" Hinata was surprised, how did he know?
"Well you aren't someone that would actually hurt someone, physically or mentally. That's something Ino and Sakura would do." He said with a smile, the expression Hinata had was priceless and adorable. Not that he would admit that.
"I told Sakura to let Ino that the plan was off… Guess she didn't get the message…" Hinata laughed at herself.
"Do you love Naruto?" Sasuke said with no emotion what so ever.
At this question, Hinata's face flustered. He was referring to back then, when Shion had said Naruto loved her.
"I-I d-don't know. He d-doesn't know e-either. It's too early I s-suppose…" She said shyly.
"He does know. But it's hard for him to love." Sasuke said as he walked away from her house. Leaving a confused Hinata alone.
'What does he mean by that?' She thought to herself as she walked into her house. Only a couple of days until her father returned…
