Chapter Thirty-Six
Unexpected Rescue
Disclaimer: I do not own anything within the anime/game/tv series, but I take responsibility for changing the plot/storyline and my OCs (Original Characters).
Being surrounded by a group of rabid fangirls, I keep an eye on the girls behind and to the sides of me. Sakura and Ino are in front of me. Sakura smirking victoriously while Ino show signs of 'hesitation'. She was not the only one either. Half the girls did not want this but didn't know what to do. I see this in clicks before, and they are not realizing what they can do. So I did what I could to help even the odds a little.
"I expected this from Haruno-san, but never from you Yamanaka-san. Can't you see this isn't right? Does this seem right at all? Would Sasuke-kun agree with this action? Think about it. He would want an honorable fight." I say making the girls including Ino questioning about this whole situation. Before I continue, Sakura speaks making my ears ring at the loudness of her voice. Honestly I would just beat her to save my eardrums from this abuse.
"Yeah right! What would you know?! You're trying to steal Sasuke-kun away from us! I will never let a heartless freak like you steal him away!" Sakura says enraged by her own accusation. The other girls appear to be conflicted and shock. I dodge the way out of the attack and quickly knock her out with a swift motion. Those hours of training just paid off. Before the girls could strike back, Hinata shows up startling them further by speaking.
"L-Leave her a-alone! Y-You should r-respect U-Uchiha-san's decision i-in who h-he dates i-if you t-truly l-love him!" Hinata says stuttering, but her body language backs up what she said. Thank Kami, I decided to befriend her. I made it clear first of all that I love Naruto like a brother not a boyfriend type of thing. I was trying to help her overcome her nervous habit around Naruto. The girls whisper around them sounding like frighten rumors about the Hyūga's fighting style. Ino helps Sakura up and leave saying their apologies before leaving. I know this is not the last time we will see them, but I am just glad it did not turn ugly. I turn to Hinata and hug her.
"You did it, Hinata-chan! You found courage! Come let's go see Naruto-kun! I know he would want to thank you too!" I say practically dragging her away while she is stuttering. I know I am a little too excited, but I know Naruto would like to thank her as well. This is the best Valentine's Day I had since…ever! I mean all my hard work on making her more confident in herself is working. She proven to herself she could do it if she tries. Oh, my gosh, I am super hype now. I think I was moving too fast for her to pass out from being overwhelmed. I still have some work on her, but this experience could be used to help her keep going and believing in herself.
"Naruto-kun! Naruto-kun! Guess what! Hinata-chan saved me from being beaten senseless from rabid fangirls!" I say letting go of her hand and presenting her with my hands now. Naruto looks overly happy as well knowing I was trying hard to help her. Naruto shouts and hugs Hinata thanking her constantly. This causes her to blush so read and pass out making me inwardly chuckle at the sight. Naruto is freaking out looking around worry about the poor girl. The 'poor girl' is smiling to herself clearly happy about being hugged by her hero.
"She's fine, Naruto-kun. She just overexerted herself since she just dealt with the rabid fangirls. Hey, why don't you take her home? She probably will be a lot happier to be resting in bed than the ground. I will stay here and setup some new training course for you to try, okay?" I say leaving no room for arguments, and Naruto nods his head. I help Naruto with Hinata placing her securely on his back. I wave them off and got to work secretly chuckling manically to myself slightly wishing I had a camera on me. I would have taken a picture of her on his back and him hugging her. Oh, well, I will be prepared next time. I am confident in my abilities to make a decent training course, but Naruto is unable to do so like me. So it is a slight disadvantage for me because I can't train in my own course. I would know everything about it, and thus making it useless for a shinobi. So I have to make do with my training regimen. I have to say it is a little disheartening, but I don't really mind. I know my work is appreciated by the fact how Naruto is reacting and such in his brawls. I know about his brawls because Tamamo watches him when I am at the apartment studying. She informs me that it is just a bunch of young ones trying to bully Naruto. She tells me he handled it well in kicking the other boy's butts and such. I am conflicted by this because he shouldn't have to deal with this, but I am proud all our hard work is paying off.
After completing my training course, Naruto arrives looking somewhat apprehensive making me inwardly cringe. I am guessing he met her father who has a massive stick up his butt. At least it is a stick and not a fucking oak tree. Seriously if he thinks her dad is bad, then he should meet Sasuke's. Ugh, that man is an asshole of the highest degree making me happy to not have a chance to meet any of the elders. Fuck, if the head has an oak tree, then what do the elders have? A fucking forest? I pull out a stop watch and look at Naruto with a smirk.
"You know the drill, Naruto-kun…but do watch out. I add a little extra to the course." I wink having an evil smile on my face making him shiver in fright. He knows I am a little sadistic when it comes to training courses. This does not stop him knowing it does produce results. This is the best Valentine's Day EVER!
