Chapter 10
After the dilemma of Neji was settled a couple of days ago, he came over to their house every day to hang out with Tenten, which annoyed Hinata because she had no time alone.
"Where are you going Hinata?" Tenten asked, pulling away from Neji's hug.
"I-I'm just g-going out. D-don't worry, I'll b-be back tonight. You two stay here." Hinata faked a smile and ran to the flower shop to see her purple garbed friend with blonde hair and one bang over the right side of her face. Hinata walked in looking for Ino and found her looking at the beautiful red roses.
"Hinata!" Ino shouted, getting up and tackling her down with a big hug.
"Hey Ino, it's been awhile," Hinata said, getting up and being pulled into a chair so they could talk.
"Yes, I know. I've been busy but what's been going on?" Ino asked with her hand holding her chin up.
"A lot," Hinata said, giggling.
"Oh, like what?" Ino questioned.
"Let's see... N-Neji and me argued l-like normal. S-Sasuke heard and backed m-me up. He then helped me t-train to become b-better. Neji doesn't w-want me to s-see him. I got tired of being there, so I left to live with Tenten. I saw Sasuke again and now Neji and Tenten are going out so he's over all the time. I need some time to myself," Hinata explained, sighing.
"Wait, I have a few questions. You've been hanging out with Sasuke? Are you two going out? When did Neji and Tenten start going out? And isn't that good that they are dating because then he won't say anything about Sasuke and you?" Ino asked many questions, wanting all the details she's missed.
"Y-yes, I have, and n-no we aren't g-going out, Ino, but I do kinda like him. With Neji and Tenten, they just got together a few days ago. I thought it was good, I mean, it's good. He doesn't say anything about me and Sasuke and he's supporting us, but he's so in love with Tenten. She asks him to come over everyday so I'm never alone. It gets tiring seeing them all the time hugging and kissing," Hinata explained.
"That's good. I think that it's cute that you like Sasuke. You should go for it! But you will be competing with me! Also, wait, are you jealous Hinata?" Ino asked with a teasing smile, hitting Hinata on the arm lightly.
"W-what? J-jealous of what?" Hinata asked, one eyebrow arched up.
"Of them kissing, hugging and being together all the time when you can't get or see Sasuke that much." Ino winked at her.
"I-I'm not j-jealous of them... " Hinata huffed.
"Yeah right. I say go over there and start to hug him. Try to hold hands and of course say what you feel!" Ino advised, quickly adding "Not that it will help, he doesn't notice girls." She then dragged her friend all the way to Sasuke's house. Hinata was hesitant about what her friend wanted her to do. She couldn't even knock on the door, so Ino knocked on it loudly and left in a puff of smoke.
'I have to see this! I can't believe he's interested' Ino thought from the hiding place she had disappeared to.
The door opened and Hinata saw Sasuke dripping wet so she guessed he just got out of the shower. His hair was wet while he had no shirt on and his pants were unbuttoned. "Hinata what are you doing here? What about Tenten?" Sasuke asked a little confused, a small blush creeping on his face; yet he was happy that she was blushing as well. He dried his hair with a towel in one hand.
