CHAPTER 10

"Na-naruto?"

Yes.. the man she cared and 'loved' since she first saw him. The man who became her inspiration when she is so down and lost..

And yes..

All of that is in the

'Past' tense..

"hinata?" I almost forgot that I'm with him at this moment.. I'm so shocked to see him again..but then again…

I've changed..

"Get your hands off me!" I told him…coldly

I saw his eyes widen in a moment but then it's too fast that I saw the understanding.

"Hinata..I'm so sorry for what I've said. I know that-"

"You don't know anything" I interrupted him and still struggling for my hand

"I know but..I only wanted to tell you that I've just tricked by Sakura"

"Oh really?? You know what I think of??

ALL of you are thinking that Hyuga Hinata is a weak and DISGUSTING heir..

And I, thank you that you told me that..

Uzumaki Naruto"

I know that each words I said shocked Naruto and it also made an impact to me.. I even called him his whole name with a disgusted tone..but then I realized that.. well, I loved that I can say what I wanted without thinking about hurting someone..

Especially..when that someone..

Hurts me a lot..

"You've changed" he told me he loosen his grip but not entirely

"Yes.. I've changed.. and that is another THANKS for you.."

"THE HINATA I KNOW WILL NOT TALK IN THAT KIND OF TONE!"

"Well..sorry for disappoint you..but the Hinata you knew, all of you knew..CHANGED."

"you're acting like that..because..because

I rejected you and called you

Weak????

And because you loved me and I can't

Love you back???"

Both of us stopped.. especially me.. did he really say that??

His eyes.. it's so damn cold and his voice..

It slowly

Mocking me..

"right..she's weak..and I felt disgusted for her"

When I remembered EACH words came from his mouth.. each words stab my heart, but..then I realized something..

Each words.. I'm hurt..yes.. but not because it came from Naruto..

It only hurts me because..

As a good friend of her..a very good friend.. Told her that words.. No friend should hurt the feelings of a friend, right?

Then..

Right..

Maybe..I, Hyuga Hinata is not IN LOVE with Naruto..

YES!!I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH NARUTO!!!!

I recovered easily and..and laugh

"why are you laughing?" he asked me because yes..I laughed out of nowhere

"UZUMAKI NARUTO..

I'm not changed because of YOU..

And to tell you honestly..

I never think I'm totally IN LOVE with you.."

"WHAT???" I saw the astonishment and bitterness in his eyes

and that reaction soften me a bit.. "Yes..You've heard it right..I'm sorry that I've confessed with you easily..not really thinking of it.. yes..maybe, you're my inspiration.. the person I cared most..but..

when you say that words..

yes..I'm hurt..

but then.. I think it is only because I really felt humiliated and betrayed by my friend" my voice reflected the hurt inside me

my jaw clenched for each word I'm saying..

"you don't know how hurt I am when you..of all the people told me that"

"I'm so-"

"AGAIN???NARUTO!!! I know you're only sorry because you are guilty as a person..

not as a friend

of a weakling like me" I spat at him

"YOU LISTEN!" once again he regained his grip

"NO!I'm not!"

"YOU'RE NOT THE HINATA I KNEW!"

"WELL..I ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT!!!"

"HELL..YEAH..AND I THINK

UCHIHA SASUKE IS THE REAL REASON FOR THAT!"

WHAT???

I looked at him like his head became two..

"are you out of your mind?" I told him a little bit of shock

"NO!YOU'RE THE ONE WHO IS OUT OF HER MIND!!!

Confessing me one day then when I'm not into you.. and suddenly you will tell me that YOU REALLY NEVER LOVE ME.. then..

YOU BECAME SASUKE'S GIRLFRIEND???WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?????????!!!"

PAK!!!

My free hand slap him..

"DON'T YOU EVER EVER TELL ME THOSE WORDS LIKE I'M A SLUT LIKE YOUR SAKURA!!!"

I saw another wave of flabbergasted reaction in his face..

And then

Rage..

"HOW DARE YPU TO TALK LIKE THAT TO SAKURA!!"

"Of course! SHE'S REALLY A SLUT!!YOU'RE JUST DAMN IDIOT TO FIND OUT THAT!!"

ohmy..did I really told him that????

"I'm so-" before I can be sorry for telling that words..

I saw another attack of anger in him

And I saw his hand

His hand

Will

Slap me

Hurt me

I close my eyes

And wait

But

I felt nothing..

I open my eyes and saw..

"Sa-Sasuke?"

my savior..

Sasuke's hand blocked the attack of Naruto..and I saw again..

The red in his eyes..

"Don't you dare to hurt

my girl"

his voice.. the deadliest I've heard..Neji's terrifying voice when he chased Lee for the latter's mistakes cannot compared to this one! but yet..

that voice..

is what I've wanted to heard..

Naruto realized what he will done..looked at Sasuke then Hinata

"Hinata..I..I'm so so-"

he stopped when he felt the hand of sasuke released his hand that will slap hinata

SHOOT!!WHY WILL I HURT HINATA???

The other hand of Sasuke push his hand that gripping Hinata's hand and..

I saw Sasuke's other hand release the hand of naruto that will hurt me..

Yes..he will hurt me..

And the other one..he get the hand of naruto the gripping my hand..he pushed it..and

He claim my hands..

After that he push Naruto and he fell back..

Sasuke is so much in wrath that I think he will hurt Naruto more.. I need to stop that..

"Sasuke..Let's go"

but he's not listening to me

"SASUKE!!!"

"WHAT?" he looked at me

then

I smiled..

I felt his breathing became normal again..

"Fine! I will not hurt this dobe for you" he released my hand but I easily get his

I looked at him..

"wait..stay..I know that you want to hurt him..and not that I cared that much" I saw his eyes became black and shocked "Yes..I mean..I cared for him but as a friend..a friend who BETRAYED me..but I cared the most

for you"

"what?"

"Sasuke..

I don't want you to be hurt or to punish because you fight in school premises.."

Then I looked at Naruto who still lying at the floor..

"Naruto.." he looked at me "to tell you honestly..

maybe..

Sasuke is the real reason

Why I changed.."

"hinata-" I heard Sasuke's voice

"I'm sorry for the words I said earlier..I'm just angry enough.. but maybe..for the sake of our goodtimes-" I smiled at him..

my real smile

"-we shouldn't have any encounter like this..

goodbye naruto..

Goodbye my friend"

And I think Sasuke realized that that is my cue so he pull me away from naruto..

But when I glanced for the last time..

I saw him standing now....he closed his eyes..then..

I saw tears..

"I'm sorry Hinata..I'm so sorry..for everything..you chose a loser like me to be your friend and inspiration when I'm nothing but a stupid prat..I betrayed you easily..and you know..when you talked like that..I've realized that..hurting you

is the biggest mistake I've done in my life"

"Sasuke"

Uchiha Sasuke is still holding me..and pulling me away from the school premises..

"-we still have our class"

"DAMN THAT CLASSES!!"

"Sasu-"

"Can you please shut your mouth first??"

I obeyed him..

We silently walked..well.. he's still pulling me.. until we came to Hyuga compound and straightly went to the main house

"Sasuke..when Father saw us here and not attending our class..he will get angry" I told him..but didn't answer me..HE'S REALLY ANGRY!!

But my father's reaction is a great surprised..he just looked at us..and nod at Sasuke..then Sasuke bring me to the garden..GREAT!! I think Father is either scared at Sasuke's angry aura or he really trusted him in this..well I think it is both..

When we are in the garden he released me finally..

"Sasuke-"

"You know what Hinata..what you've done to me..hurts me a lot"

"I'm sorry" I told him as I looked away at him..

"I don't need you're sorry Hinata!I need you're explanation!"

"Sa-sasuke..I.." I take a deep breath "I was so shocked about your err… confession" I felt my cheeks reddened

"what..that I love you?"

"yes that you love me- eeeeppp!!!" OMG!!

He laughed finally..then he cupped my cheeks

"Listen..Hinata..I only told you that I love you..and I remember that I didn't tell you that you should love me" then he poked my head "Idiot! You ran away liked that..and then the next time I saw you..a dobe will hurt you?why you became so troublesome"

"HEY!" I told him but he just smiled even more

"But even you are an idiot and troublesome woman…

I still love you"

And he kissed my forehead

..

..

I think my world stood still

I only heard is my heartbeat and his..

Like it is a form of it's own kind of music..

"and even I will just act like your boyfriend.. even if it's not true.. I will do it just for you"

"why? you can never have anything to gain of…but..but." I cannot look at his eyes

"but pain?" he smiled "I will accept it.. so that people will not see you like a looser to that stupid naruto..because you love him and-"

"no"

"what?"

"I'm not in love with naruto"

he lift my head so that are eyes will met "are you sure?"

"yes..I realized it earlier when I talked to him..yes..i'm hurt..but because he betrayed me.."

then he smiled and kiss my forehead again then walk away from me

"then maybe..

I can have a chance..with you"

Then he left..

I closed my eyes..

Maybe..

I put my hand in my heart..

Maybe

We have our chance

Together..
