But... Who? - Chapter 010

"Hinata Hyuuga Vers."


In our high school, there is this prom the night after the graduation ceremony every year. It was when the graduation party where I discovered the two.

The two, as in Sasuke and Na…Naruto!

So that night, Naruto went to the prom with Sakura. He was so handsome wearing his white suit that night but I felt something was missing. Also there was Sakura. She looked so pretty that night, wearing her equal white night dress to match with Naruto, but I could also sense something was wrong. Naruto's usual grin was nowhere near sight that night and Sakura was giving a glance look once in a while to him. The longer I observed him, the more I noticed that something was bothering Naruto. It's not like I am a stalker or anything! Umm… Okay, let me continue. Just like when Sai, who was wearing a black tuxedo, approached them with his usual smile, he immediately grinned and it was obvious that he was forcing it. Sai seemed to notice it as well that something was off, judging by the changing of expression on his pale face. Sai looked at Sakura's worried expression and then to Naruto's fake grin. Sai said something with his eyebrows joined together and just like a magic, Naruto's fake grin fell from his face.

Naruto sighed and massage his temple. He said something and Sakura worried her bottom lip as she held and squeezed Naruto's hand. Sai watched them and I had no idea what they were talking about when Sai sighed. He patted Naruto's back and he went between Naruto and Sakura, and linked his arms around their shoulders and dragged the two somewhere. I sighed and smiled when Kiba and Shino approached me that night.

Few hours later I decided to leave my two boys to the toilet. Shino and Kiba nodded and I watched Shino continued to be invisible whilst Kiba stood up at the same time as me and went to the cakes area. The other people were chatting, some were drinking, and since the music that playing was the slow one, many couple chose that moment to dance. On the dance floor I didn't see Sakura, Sai, or Naruto there so I shrugged inwardly and went to my earlier business to the toilet.

The time I went back, I felt so thirsty I went searching for something to drink. I scanned the area but I found the only place which looked like a bar. I was not sure whether I should go or not but I ended up bringing myself to the bar.

I knitted my eyebrows the time I arrived there. A guy with blonde hair wearing a white suit was wasted on the bar's table. With shaky hand, I touched Naruto's back and called his name. The only thing I received was a murmured. I looked around but there was no Sai or...

There was Sakura. I looked at Naruto again before I left to Sakura.

When I reached her, I told her that Naruto was sleeping and I said that I was afraid if he would fall so I suggested that maybe he should go back to his house because it was better and get some sleep. She actually gasped and rushed her way to Naruto. The time we arrived, Sakura shook him and said something about her warned to not drink alcohol and cursed about Sai for leaving Naruto and cursed herself for trusting Sai in the first place, and something that Sasuke would kill her if he found out. After several attempts but no result, Sakura sighed and looked at me apologetically and begged me to help her bring Naruto to her car so she could drive him home. I couldn't refuse her so I nodded and helped her by linking one of Naruto's arm to myself as Sakura put Naruto's other arm around her. We made our way to outside despite of my heart that was thumping so loud, she asked me if maybe I have some idea to say to Naruto's parents so that Minato or Kushina would not get mad at Naruto. I gave her some of my idea of being young or something and at the same time, Naruto mumbled something. Thank god it was dim so Sakura wouldn't notice the blush that had started creeping on my face. Because of our mind was way too preoccupied of making excuses to Naruto's parents, we didn't notice another presence that was calling Sakura's name. The voice was too deep and both Sakura and I gasped. Another murmured escaped Naruto's mouth I couldn't catch what was it.

The deep voice, belonged to no other than Sasuke Uchiha, I noticed, came from the darkness, which was a dark figure earlier. Sasuke looked unpleased and I swear, I couldn't hold that gaze for longer than a minute but maybe Sakura was immuned, she kept his gaze and I could hear her gulping.

Even she still affected by the gaze although she had spent long enough time with him.

Sasuke said about why he couldn't reach her. I thought it was a love quarrel and I felt like so out of place, I couldn't help fidgeting. Sasuke's tone at saying that was so... I couldn't name it but one thing I was sure that if it were not Sakura, others would do the harakiri in an instant.

He said her name again, "Sakura." And he sounded commanding, like he had the power at almost everything and actually, he had.

She said something about not wanting to mind others business so she chose to accompany Naruto instead since it was their high school. Good reasoning actually. It was true, Sakura and Naruto were there because it was our prom night held by our school and it would be the last day we were there so it was not a crime or anything. Sasuke couldn't blame her by that since he was not a student of our high school. He belonged to other high school.

Oh, the horror when Sasuke gritted his teeth.

"Give him to me." He said very dangerously. Then I noticed, he? What was wrong? Who he was referring to? Early he said that why he could not reach Sakura. Now he said to give him to him. Him? I looked at Sasuke and to Naruto. Sakura sighed and smiled at me. He nodded to Sasuke and when Sasuke was about to reach the "him", which was Naruto, I widened my eyes when Naruto slapped Sasuke's hand away. Sakura already unlinked Naruto's arm from her shoulders and I was left. His other arm still around me, I watched as Naruto lifted his head and glared to Sasuke who at the time, his eyes were as wide as mine. Sakura was too, because Naruto was actually half sober.

Sasuke maybe was the key of his fake grins before?

I mentally shook my head and looked between the three. I still couldn't comprehend, what was happening?

Naruto glared from Sasuke, he then looked away, to me and he smiled. He said sorry to me and he unlinked his arm around my shoulder. I was kind of upset by the lost of the warmth but it flew away when Naruto almost fell. Sasuke tried to catch him but Naruto slapped again Sasuke's helping hand away. He glared again at Sasuke and he screamed Sai's name from the top of his lungs. Not count to three, Sai appeared out of nowhere and stood beside Naruto and helped him from falling. Sai offered a piggyback and Naruto took it. Sai said something about give Naruto some time to clear his mind. Sasuke seemed to freeze in place and he could not do anything other than stared at the now empty place where Sai left with a half drunk Naruto. I watched as Sai with Naruto disappeared into his car and the two left.

I didn't know if Sasuke and Sakura still notice of me being there. I wanted to leave but I still couldn't move, what was happening? Maybe Sasuke was having a love quarrel with Sakura and Sakura chose to get away from that by attending the prom that was maybe why Sasuke demanded of an answer why he couldn't reach her. If it was like that then why Sasuke demanded her to give "him" to him? Him? He was trying to get Naruto so why with the twisted things? Did he want to kill Naruto for snatching Sakura away from him? Sticking my nose to other's business is not my thing but if it involved Naruto then I couldn't let it go like that. What if I was waiting for a hopeless thing? What if Naruto already has someone? And now with Sai snatching Naruto away and told Sasuke to give Naruto some time to clear his mind, what was happening?

So with a sigh, I left the two and went back inside. The time I was inside, I searched for my earlier spot and found Shino was there with a glass of soda. With a sigh, I took a seat next to him. He asked what's with the heavy sigh, I didn't know what's got into me, I answered his question, like I was pouring all of my heart contents down on him. I actually am not that kind of person but that night, I felt like talking, and the feeling of not waiting a hopeless feeling was bugging me so I told him everything.

To say that I was not shocked was an underestimate. He, with a sigh, said to me that I should give up on Naruto because I couldn't compete with his special someone. I looked at him with a confuse look. I asked who Naruto's girlfriend? He smiled at me and patted my back. I should give up because Naruto already has a boyfriend, not a girlfriend and beside, no matter how hard I try, he was sure that I could never compete with Sasuke Uchiha. I gasped and he explained that maybe Naruto and Sasuke were having a love quarrel and Sasuke was trying to ask Sakura because she was the only person who was with Naruto but he couldn't reach her. He explained everything and that was where everything clicked.

I asked him how he knew about the two, and he told me about the two kissing at the parking lot. I blushed and he left me speechless at that. We met the silence until Kiba came to us out of nowhere and Shino decided to call it the nights and Shino drove us home.

Yes indeed, I can't compete with Sasuke.

That was where I discovered the two. The next one I met the two, I observed them and realized how in love the two together, the way the two looked at each other, it was enough for me to give up my love to be happy with someone else.

I trust Sasuke.
