Secrets Of A Hyuuga

Chapter 14

My head rested on the pillow. The flicked through the television. Even though we had almost two thousand channels nothing was on.

"Whatcha watching?" Hanabi asking sitting in front of the couch. I turned the channel again.

"Nothing is on. I said flickering through the channels. We switched through for about 10 minutes.

"Go back to 482!" Hanabi yelled. I gave a questioned expression as I pressed the four, eight, two. At 482 there was a bunch of Japanese kids sitting in a class room. Some where smiling and trying not to laugh. Then the scene changed to a Japanese guy. He was counting.

"one, two three four--- eighteen, nineteen, twe- twe- ten- ten, ten." Hanabi laughed at his stupidity of not being able to say twenty. (a clip on you tube. Very funny.) I giggled and then got up from the couch.

"Where you going, Hinata? He's going to count to a hundred! Wait and see!" she said. I shook my head no and tried to make up a reasonable excuse.

"I-I um… h-have to take my um, medication." I lied and started to walk upstairs. I walked into my room and started to play in make up. I hummed some song like Every Heart by BoA and Sakura Drops by Utada Hikaru. (love Utada Hikaru!)

I stopped humming and answered my phone which was ringing.

"Hello?" I answered giving my best voice.

"Hinata! Okay since 'Ino' ripped your kimono I had got this new one today and wanted to give it to you because it is too small. You are the smallest of all of us you know." I knew it was Ten Ten at that moment.

"Okay thanks. When do I get it?" I was quite eager to see how I looked.

"Today, later. I'll get Sakura and she'll get Ino." Ten Ten said. I heard the little bit of anger in her voice when she said Ino.

"Okay, bye?"

"Yeah, bye. Around…" I hung up the phone and started to fix my hair. Today I woke up late because I was practicing again. I knew I should not because of my injuries but I could not resist myself. I practiced until 3 in the morning then took a shower so I won't smell like grass. If Tsunade-sama would of found out that I was already training then she would have been mad at me for stressing my muscles.

I pulled my hair into a ponytail and let my bang hang low. Over the years my hair has grew in. I turned off my stereo and walked down the hallway. I stared at Neji's door. Wondered what his room looked like. I never was allowed in there because he wanted his 'privacy.' He was always in mine but I have never known what colors of his walls were because of him. Maybe I could catch a glimpse of it. I started to open the door a little and slowly. My eyes went wide when I saw Ten Ten sitting on my cousin's lap. Her tongue was stuck in his mouth and he held her tight by her waist. I didn't think they were "that" close! I closed the door shut tight and ran down the hallway quickly to tell Hanabi if she was in her room. I knocked slightly. No answer. I knocked again.

"Wwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttttttttttttt?" she yelled from inside. I opened the door slightly. Hanabi was talking on a phone.

"I'm talking to Konahmaru!" she muttered. I sighed walking out her room and closing the door behind me. Every one had someone but I didn't. I was useless. I ran outside and towards the forest. I want to the same place last night where I was with Sasuke. Since I was wearing short and a tang top. I stepped into the water again and dunked my head underwater. I felt cool and relaxed. I let myself swim around and float for a minute. I started to sing the song First Love by my all time Utada Hikaru. (don't feel like typing out lyrics, I'll post link on homepage/profile.)

I sighed knowing I had the pain in my chest gone. Even though Naruto and I can never be, we… can always have a spot for them right in out hearts that is never going to fade away.

"I didn't know you could sing." I quickly turned around and saw Sasuke. He was squatting down and his hand was into the water. It wasn't far from me.

"I don't believe I can sing." I whispered. Sasuke didn't speak or smirk. He just looked at me. I broke the silence, "Why are you out here?" He rolled his eyes into the back of his head. Something bothered him.

"Naruto and Sakura. It's like 'I love you Sakura!' 'I love you too Naruto!' I'm happy Sakura isn't obsessed with me anymore and now has a boyfriend but why does he have to be Naruto?" I laughed at Sasuke's imitation of Naruto and Sakura. I don't think he was trying to make me laugh but I just had to because, well… I could imagine it!

"I bet they are going to go to the festival together." I whispered. Sasuke nodded his head slightly and put his head in the water.

"Depressed again?" he asked. I smiled slightly and pulled myself out. I shivered when the breeze touched my body.

"Yeah, I don't think that I'll ever be with anybody. I think I'll be one of them old woman with nineteen cats." I laughed at my little joke but I noticed Sasuke didn't. I shut up immediately.

"Wouldn't you rather be alone?" he asked. I thought about it for a second.

"Not really, nobody id there to comfort me and support me. I don't want to be alone. It's scary." I muttered. He smirked.

"I would rather be alone." He said. He swayed his hand in the water. It was quiet for a few minutes. "Maybe because I can't remember what it is like to have someone there." I smiled. There was a lot of this he can't remember the feeling of. Love, happiness and being with others.

"We are alike but yet different." Sasuke said. I cocked my head towards him thinking of the possible ways. "I don't know anything about love and you don't have it. You want happiness and I need it. And you need the comfort of others but I want to be alone." I smiled again and rest my head right on his shoulder.

"I know." I felt really awkward doing that to the one and only Uchiha but I also felt special because it's not everyday he let's a girl but their head on his shoulder. I felt the cold, wet water drip onto his shirt. I turned my head towards his to examine his features. He was sort of cute, I'll admit but his sharingan eyes were freaky to me. I thought Byukgan was weird because we don't have pupils but he has 4 pupils. Sasuke turned his head towards me. It was that special feeling you get at that one time before your first.

"Hinata, there you are!" Ten Ten jumped out a tree from above. Neji came after her. I pulled my head off Sasuke quickly hoping she didn't see anything.

"We've been looking for you. You have to try on that kimono for the festival." I sighed lightly.

"I'm not going."

"Why!"

"Because, I have no one to go with so I'm going to be all alone." Ten Ten put her hand on her chin and thought.

"Kiba! Take Kiba."

"He's got someone."

"Shino."

"Anti-social."

"…Rock Lee?"

"Sakura, Sakura, Sakura."

"Chouji?" I shrugged my shoulders not wanting to say anything about poor Chouji. "You have to come, Hinata-chan! Everyone else is going to be there!" Ten Ten complained.

"Why are you going anyways?" Ten Ten glanced over to Neji really quick then started to lie.

"Sakura and Ino-pig is making me so, I'm not going without you." I sighed. We sat there for a few seconds without speaking.

"Bye, Hinata." Sasuke muttered and left. I watched him jump from tree to tree. I stood up and stretched out my limbs a bit.

"I'll go." Ten Ten smiled a bit and drag Neji and me back to the house.
