Inspired by the Theory of a Deadman song What Was I Thinking

Chapter 10: What Was I Thinking

Hinata had so many thoughts swirling through her head. Sakura and Sai's secret was plaguing her mind, knowing that either way she was being a bad friend. What was worse, not telling Ino or telling her and possibility ruining two relationships? If she said nothing then Ino and Lee would be completely ignorant of the situation, but it'd also mean that she'd be letting them get away with cheating.

Then there was the problem of Haru. She had no proof that he wasn't to be trusted, but her gut told her that he was no good. She didn't think it'd ruin Sasuke and Naruto's relationship, but it could because it could cause a fight. Hinata was more confused than ever. "What should I do?" she mumbled to herself.

"What's wrong?" she heard a voice ask from the doorway. The conflicted girl looked up to see Neji standing in front of her. The longhaired man looked worried and she knew it was because of her. "You look like shit," he told her as he sat next to her.

"I feel like shit," she frowned, surprising him. The timid girl didn't often cuss; it confirmed that something was wrong. "I just don't know what to do, I'm so confused," she admitted, burying her head in her hands. She was on the verge of tears as she thought more about her predicament.

"I can't help if you don't tell me," he pointed out calmly. Neji didn't want to sound rude, knowing it'd just make the situation worse. It had to be bad if Hinata was so distraught. In high school he wouldn't have been worried because she was often concerned about everything and everyone. However, she'd grown up and was more confident, things didn't shake her as easily as they once had.

"I know some things that I shouldn't know," she told him, not wanting to tell him everything. "Things that could ruin relationships," she added, not making eye contact with him. Hinata didn't want to tell him because he might say something and she wasn't sure if she were going to tell anyone.

"I see," he replied. He didn't want to push her to tell him what it was but he also wanted to help. "Anything that can ruin a relationship shouldn't be kept secret, you know that Hinata," Neji told her, knowing that the right thing to do would be to let her knowledge be known. "Perhaps it was fate that you found out about this thing, maybe you were supposed to tell," he reasoned.

She thought about his words while nodding. Hinata still wasn't sure what she'd do but Neji did make a good point. It was true that if a relationship was meant to last then it would despite any hardships it may face. It was fate, right? "I guess," she said, still as conflicted as she had been before the conversation.

He was just out getting a coffee when he saw them. It was pure coincidence, but he was glad that he did. Kiba knew that they didn't see him and he planned to keep it that way because it would be awkward to explain why he was spying on his ex-boyfriend and the new guy in his life. He wasn't sure if they were actually dating or not, but he knew that they were on a date. Kiba wasn't sure why but he felt anger build as he watched them. He knew that he could be mad because he dumped Suigetsu; it was his fault that they had broken up. Part of him always wished that Suigetsu would never find someone else; he knew it would hurt to see the other man move on. It was selfish of him to feel that way but he couldn't help how he felt.

Kiba watched as Suigetsu laughed at something Ryuu had said and it made his heart sink. It felt wrong to see some other guy make Suigetsu feel the way he once had. "That'd be fun," he heard Suigetsu say, "I'll see if Sasuke and Naruto want to come with." Those words hurt the most, knowing that they'd used to go on double dates with Naruto and Sasuke. "I think they'd like you," Suigetsu said with a smile. It was the smile that used to be reserved for him, but he hadn't received that smile for four years.

"I'd love to get to know them better," Ryuu admitted. The look they shared let Kiba know that they were starting to get serious. What he didn't know was that Suigetsu was hesitant and that he couldn't truthfully say that his whole heart was in it. Kiba couldn't stand to see them together so he turned away and walked away. He was clueless to the fact that Suigetsu had seen him. He didn't know that the smile was to pretend that he had moved on.

Naruto was sitting on his couch flipping through the channels. He had been working from home and decided that it was time for a break. Sasuke was at work so he was able to watch the stupid things that Sasuke hated, laughing at the stupid jokes. He was pulled away from the show when there was a knock on the door. He sighed, thinking it was just a sales person that he'd quickly get rid of. He opened the door to be surprised by Hinata standing in front of him. It was then that he'd wished he'd changed out of his pajamas, "Hey, what are you doing here?" He knew that he sounded rude, but he wasn't sure what else to say.

"I needed to talk to you about something," she told him, getting nervous as she stood in front of the door. "Can I come in?" she asked nervously. He quickly nodded and moved aside for her to come in. "Your office said you were working from home," she told him, letting him know how she knew he would be home.

"Oh, what's up?" he asked, confused as to why she would come over. They were friends but it wasn't as if they'd hung out just them, it was always in a group.

"I just wanted to ask you something," she told him, not sure if it was a good idea to be there and tell him about her suspicions. He signaled for her to continue, so she did, "How much do you know about Haru?" He looked surprised so before he could say anything she continued, "I don't mean to intrude, but he just seems overly nice. I'm not sure that someone can be too nice, but first he's helping plan Aimi and Kiba's engagement party and now her bachelorette party, it just seems weird to me." She knew that she was talking fast and throwing everything at him at once.

"Wait, so you think he's up to something too?" he asked and she nodded. "I do too," he told her, "Sasuke's just blind to it. For someone so smart he can be really stupid." She didn't say anything; instead she let him continue, "Thanks Hinata, I need to talk to Sasuke."

"You're welcome," she stuttered. She had a feeling that what she'd just done was going to cause a fight and felt terrible. She knew that telling Naruto might cause a fight, but telling Ino and Lee would cause an even worse storm.

Sasuke was exhausted when he'd gotten home. It had been a long day filled with piles of paperwork and stupid calls. "Hey," he said as he collapsed next to his boyfriend. "What's wrong?" he asked when he didn't get his usual response. The other man didn't answer so Sasuke tried to pull him out of his trance, "Naruto?"

"Oh, he babe," the blond said, but Sasuke just gave him a confused look. The raised eyebrow made Naruto know that he had to explain what was going on. "How well do Haru?" he asked just like Hinata had asked him.

"Seriously?" Sasuke asked as he stood up. "I've already had a long day, now you have to start this conversation?" he asked, clearly annoyed. "Can't you just drop it already? Can't you just trust me?" he emphasized that even if he didn't trust Haru Naruto should at least trust him.

"I do trust you," he told Sasuke. "I don't trust him," he said, trying to make Sasuke know that it had nothing to do with him, just Haru. "And I'm not the only one," he said, even though he knew that he shouldn't bring Hinata into the mix. "Hinata is even suspicious and she likes almost everyone," he said.

"Seriously?" Sasuke asked, still annoyed. "I don't care what she thinks, if you trust me then you shouldn't worry," he said, trust was a big deal to Sasuke and he was starting to feel that Naruto no longer trusted him. "I can't believe this," he said, stressed as he started walking toward their bedroom.

Naruto quickly followed, he didn't want to start a fight, but he knew it was too late for that. "Come on babe," he pleaded, but all he got was a pillow thrown at his head. "You can't seriously be making me sleep on the couch because of this," he sighed. All he got was Sasuke shutting and locking the door, "Or maybe you can." He frowned and walked back to the couch. It was such a stupid thing to fight about, but he knew that he never should have brought it up. It was all about trust and Sasuke wasn't easy to trust people and certainly didn't like feeling as if he weren't trusted.

Hinata, Ino, Sakura, and Aimi sat in a café as they talked about Aimi's wedding and the parties they were planning. "I can't believe you guys are finally getting married," Sakura said, "It just makes me want to plan my own. Unfortunately Lee's parents want us to wait a little while."

"That's because his parents want to make sure you aren't going to dump him," Ino laughed. "Think of how long it took you guys to finally start dating, you weren't exactly receptive of his advances at first," she pointed out.

"Yeah, but it's been four years, you think they'd realize that we're in love by now," she said with a sigh.

Hinata felt the need to speak up. She didn't know how Sakura could say that when she had cheated on him not long before. She bit her lip, trying to keep quiet, but as the pink haired woman continued to talk she couldn't hold it in any longer. "I saw you and Sai," she said, quickly covering her mouth once it came out.

"What?" Ino and Sakura asked at the same time, equally mad for extremely different reasons. "What is she talking about?" the blond asked as she looked at whom she thought was her best friend. Sakura remained quiet so she turned toward Hinata, "What are you talking about?"

"I went looking for Sakura the night after the party," she mumbled as she looked down at her hands. "She and Sai were talking about their," she looked for the right words, "rendezvous the night before." She saw that Sakura was furious so she quickly added, "But they had been drunk, they couldn't have known what they were doing."

"I can't believe this," Ino said as she stood up. "How could you do this? You say that you love Lee yet you're fucking my boyfriend behind my back?" she asked, angry and hurt at the same time, "How could you betray me like this?"

"It was one time," Sakura said desperately trying to explain. "I know it doesn't make it better but we were drunk. He drove me home and it just happened, I'm sorry," she never wanted the secret to come out, yet there she was trying to explain. "I don't even like him I don't know why it happened," she was on the verge of tears when she saw the way Ino looked at her with hate.

"You're right, that doesn't make it better," Ino says. "I thought you were my best friend, but friends don't do that to each other," she tried to hold back her tears. It hurt to find out that the one person she trusted the most would go behind her back and sleep with her boyfriend.

"You're going to let one drunken night ruin our friendship?" she asked. "I already know that Lee is going to leave me, but I can't lose you too," she pleaded. "We've been friends for years, you and Sai have been off and on more times than anyone else that I've known but we've always been friends even when we were fighting over Sasuke years ago," Sakura cried.

"No, you can't blame me for this," Ino argued. "You are the one that let one night ruin our friendship because you are the one that slept with my boyfriend, or I should say now ex-boyfriend," she was now crying too. She let the conversation end as she grabbed her purse and started to walk away. She wouldn't listen to anything her former friend had to say.

"I can't believe you Hinata," Sakura said as she turned to the dark haired girl. "You know that it was a mistake yet you still told her. You had to have known this would happen," she said, angry and sad. "I thought we were friends, how could you do this?" Sakura asked, even though she knew it wasn't entirely her fault.

"Don't blame her," Aimi argued. "You were the one that slept with him, not Hinata," she told Sakura. "You really did do this to yourself," she added, but that didn't help. Sakura just cried and walked away, not knowing what to do. Aimi looked at Hinata and could tell the girl was about to cry. "This isn't your fault, you were just trying to help a friend," she told her.

"I know, but that doesn't make me feel any better," Hinata stuttered. She thought about what Neji had told her about fate and it made her feel a little better. "Neji told me that if it were meant to be then fate would make it so," she told the other woman, "Do you believe that?" She was looking for reassurance, even though she couldn't help but feel bad for ruining two relationships and years of friendship.

"Yes," Aimi said, trying to make Hinata feel better about her actions. "It'll all work out in the end," she said, though she wasn't sure that it would. "If they really are as good as friends as they say then they'll forgive each other, just give it some time. Relationships come and go but friendship is forever, right?" she saw Hinata relax and just hoped that she was right.
