Unconditional

by whatiswithinyou

Hinata Hyūga promised that she will never fall in love. And she believed she wouldn't fall, too...until she met Naruto Uzumaki. Her life seemed to be turned upside down after she started to fancy the host of the Tailed Beast. And what is the Book of Promise that seems to be following her everywhere she went? How will Hinata solve this problem ... By herself...

13. Chapter 12

I didn't trust Ino completely, but I could tell that me and her were going to be close friends. In time...of course. I wasn't going to forget what she did to me, though. I laughed at the text she sent me and started typing a reply. We had began texting again and talking on the phone a lot. In fact, I felt like calling her now.

"Hey, piggly!" I greeted her with a genuine smile. "Piggly" was the nickname I gave Ino, simply because her name means "pig".

"Hey, grey!" Ino greeted me back, calling me "grey" due to the color my eyes change to when I use Byakugan. "I have to tell you something."

"Ok." I leaned my ear closer to the phone so I really heard what she was about to say.

"N-Nobody likes me." I didn't know how to respond. Ino, the most popular girl at school, was disliked.

"What do you mean 'nobody likes you'?" I asked her.

"Loa told Sakura, Temari, and TenTen that I lied about my life. Loa told them EVERYTHING about me. All my dark secrets... And Sakura and TenTen paid Temari to tell Sasuke. And then Sasuke told the whole school." I heard Ino sob.

"I guess we both went through the same thing now..." I said. It was true, though. Ino and I both lied to make ourselves seem better. The only difference was, I had Naruto.

"Yeah. I can't book this. I got to go, Hinata. I'll call you later." Ino told me. There goes that word again. Book.

"Ino, did you just say book?" I asked.

"No." A chill went up my spine. "I really got to go." Click! She hung up. After sitting there, thinking of that word for an hour. I remembered my dream. The book of Promises!

I called Naruto, just in case the book of Promises was real and Ino repeating the word "book" was a precognitive.

"Hello?" Naruto answered the phone.

"The Book of Promises..." I didn't need to greet him. I needed to know if the Book of Promises was real or not. There was an eerie silence.

"What is that?" He asked me. I gave up. I ended the call and hid my face behind my hands.

"You will find the book soon, I promise."

My head violently jerked up and scanned the room. No one was there.
