DON'T OWN IT. NOPE.....* (How I got killed is at the bottom)
Sorry dragon18! Thank you! ^^
Chappie 7: I LOVE YOU! WAIT.....
Sakura opened her eyes slowly. She was facing the roof of her room. She sighed a bit knowing that she has to get up. Her pink covers shifted a bit as she lifted herself off the bed. She looked over to her tulip that Itachi had gave her. It was still beautiful to her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
First period was unruly as usual. Iruka was trying to calm them down to teach English, but he had to resort to violence. (Yard stick)
Sakura looked at her notebook. She was too busy thinking to mind the noise. Naruto came over to her.
"Whats wrong Sakura-chan?" He asked impaitiently. Sakura ignored him. She didn't want to talk to the clueless right now. But he insisted that he should know. "Tell me Sakura! Whats wrong!? Onneeeggaaiii!!!??"
Sakura had enough. She punched him and he magically sailed out the window. (?) Hinata screamed and ran outside to seek her injured love.
"Naruto! Naruto!" Hinata yelled outside the building. She clutched the pass Iruka gave her. 'I hope he's alright. He shouldn't bother Sakura when she's like that...'
"Hinata!!!" Called a voice behind her. Hinata twirled to find Naruto hanging in a tree.
"Wah! Naruto-kun!" She screamed running to him. "Are you okay? Does it hurt? Can you get down?"
"Yeah, I'm okay... Just help me get out please." Hinata hurridly made her way up in the tree. She stood on the branch where Naruto was hanging by his pants. Hinata gently cut the branch with her pocket knife. (yeah she carries one!) Naruto hit the ground.
"Naruto! I'm sorry!" Hinata said uneasily.
Naruto got up and patted himself off. "Its okay!" Hinata smiled and giggled. "You might wanna get down. I can see your-"
"Ack!" Hinata pulled her skirt down. "Naruto!" She blushed and lost her balance. "WAHH!!" She fell right into Naruto's arms.
Naruto caught her but he lost his balance. They both fell to the ground. "Hinata.... Your so small.... But your heavy...."
"N-Naruto!" She blushed beside him breathing hard. "Thank you Naruto-kun..."
Naruto rolled over to look into her eyes. "I-Its okay. Thats what I'm here for. But I should be thanking you!"
Hinata sat on her knees. "I guess. Not really though." This was a dream. Alone outside in the warm breeze with the love of her life. Just her and him.
Naruto looked to the sky. "Umm..."
"Hm?"
"Were you always um... In love with me?"
Hinata looked to the sky with him. She couldn't say it! It was embarassing! But Naruto did gain the guts to ask her. It was only fair that she answered. "Well, ever since I saw you. And the way you acted, you were always different. Just not apart of everyone else. You would look and feel things differently. You were to say, unique. Thats why I liked you. Compared to the others.... your a breath of fresh air."
Naruto glanced at Hinata. She closed her eyes to the sky. Hinata felt the breeze run through her hair, Naruto blushed. He never noticed how beautiful Hinata was before. Not until now. She had told him everything that was inside her heart. For years she had adored him. Naruto finally felt guilty for not noticing it until she had to tell him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I wonder what happened to Naruto and Hinata..." Sakura whispered in her history class. Ino was beside her trying to hear what she what she was talking about.
"You like him or something?" Ino whispered happily.
"Of course not! He's just a friend!" Sakura said harshly. "Besides, I have someone else on my mind."
"Oohh...Tell me who." Ino cooed next to Sakura in the back of the classroom.
Sakura blushed. "Well, he's quiet. Sensitive... Strong...*sigh* I don't know where to begin!"
Ino sweatdropped. "All the guys you like are like that!"
Sakura thought for a minute. She was right. "Eh heh heh. Sorry. Well, he does belong in a clan!"
Ino banged her head on the table. "The two people I have in mind ARE IN A CLAN!" She whispered loudly.
"Well, I umm... Don't worry about it!"
"Whatta mean don't-! Its Neji! You whore!" Ino huffed.
"Why are you getting mad!? You don't like the boy!" Sakura raised her voice a bit.
"Your right I don't!" Ino got a little louder also. The class began to wonder who was talking. They all turned to the back.
"Good!" Sakura said loud enough the teacher could hear. "Your the one who likes Shikamaru!"
Ino's mouth hung open like the rest of the class. Shikamaru blushed. He had no idea what was going on. He just heard that one sentence.
Ino turned a shade of red that looked kind of maroon. "Ep!" She sqeaked looking to Shikamaru. "Sakura! How could you!"
Sakura who was frightened said nothing. Ino's mother came over to them. "Is their a problem ladies? Ino-poo?"
"No ma'am...." They both said in unison.
Yamanaka smiled cheerfully. "Good." She turned to go up the aisle but then went back down. "I didn't know you liked Shikamaru! Oh baby!" She sqealed hugging her daughter tightly.
"MOM!" Ino's whole face turned a red that no one has ever seen. "Stop it!"
She let go of her daughter and looked to Shikamaru who gulped. "Would you like to come over for dinner tonight Shika dear?"
Shikamaru couldn't manage to say anything. "Uh umm...." The class giggled at this embarassing seen. Shikamaru finally noticed where he was. "No! I'm sorry Mrs. Yamanaka!" He finally said. Of course he didn't have anything better to do, but he didn't want the whole school knowing he was going with Ino. It was too embarassing and uncool for his cool attitude. (^.^)
Ino was embarassed by all of this, and she could see why Shikamaru would say no. But still it kind of hurt her. 'Whats, whats wrong with going over my house for dinner?' Ino looked at the ground sadly as her mother made her way back up to the front and began speaking again. 'Shikamaru....' She pleaded in her mind.
Meanwhile Shikamaru looked sad himself. He had no idea that beautiful Ino had a crush on him. He wanted to clear this up. So he got to writing a letter.
Sakura just looked at the roof. This was all her fault. Now she had caused a tension between Ino and Shikamaru. 'Oh no. What have I done? I.... I need to.... I need to go pee.'(what the!?) She raised her hand. "Excuse me! Umm... Mrs.Yamanaka!"
Yamanaka turned her attention to Sakura. "Yes Sakura?"
Sakura blushed a bit. "Ca- can I use the restroom?"
"Sure honey. The pass is on my desk." Yamanaka went back to teaching.
Sakura looked to Ino who glanced at her back with a mean face. 'Oh dear... She must be mad at me. Maybe I can appologize in gym.' She got up from her chair and walked over to (the most beautiful, admirable) teachers desk. (I wanna teachers desk!! WAH!)
She grabbed the pass and headed out the door. After using the restroom, she decided to look for Hinata and Naruto. (get back to class!) She wandered outside in the parking lot. She saw a figure walk behind the building. "Uh? Was that Naruto or Hinata?" She asked herself taking off.
When she got around the corner, the figure disappeared around the next corner. Sakura got angry and yelled. "HEY YOU! STOP!" She ran after the mysterious figure.
She turned the corner and ran slam into it. The figure grabbed her around her body and fell towards the ground and they began to roll down a hill together.
Sakura thought she was being kidnapped. 'Oh no.... Whoever this is wants to kill me... I see it in the headlines now!'
~* GIRL DIES IN THE BACK OF KONOHA SCHOOL FOR UNKNOWN REASON*~
They both skidded to a halt. The man or woman had a mask on. Sakura figured it was a man because of the structure. They both breathed hard from the fall. She looked at the stranger on top of her.
"Please don't kill me...." Sakura said slowly with a little quake in her voice. "I just went to find my friends and-" She stopped seeing that he wouldn't kill her with that mask on.
Sakura reached up and slowly pulled off the mask. She pursed her lips trying to figure out who it was before hand.
"Itachi..." Sakura sighed.
Itachi smiled. (AWWWW!!! XD) "Can't get anything past you..." He lowered to brush his lips to hers. "Sakura-chan...."
Sakura closed her eyes halfway enjoying his butterfly kisses on her neck. She giggled a bit. "St- Stop.... that tickles." (ITACHI IS SOOO OOC!)
"Wo ai ni..." Itachi whispered gently tickling her ear.
"Whats that mean?" She asked smiling and recovering from laughing.
"Heh... I'll see you later!" He jumped off her and walked away. Leaving a stumped (but happy) Sakura. She got up blushing feeling her neck where Itachi had his precious lips. She watched the mysterious boy wander and disappear into the trees.
"Sakura! C'mon!" Hinata and Naruto called. "What are you doing down there?"
Sakura looked up the hill where her classmates are. She walked up the hill. "I was looking for you guys!"
"Oh! Well c'mon! Its 4th period! Kakashi will kill us if we don't get there on time!"
Sakura chuckled. 'Yeah right....'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Alright you lil freaks! Settle down!" Kakashi happily chirped with his favorite book in his hand. He had a red jacket along with his red sweat pants on. Sunglasses with his black turtle neck stopping above his nose (gotta hide that beautiful face!). "I'm gonna teach you a thing or two about that game called basketball."
(uh oh RadicalL!)
Everyone rolled their eyes. Hinata sat beside Naruto giggling silently. Neji wasn't too thrilled. Sakura and Ino just had a awkward silence between the them. While the others halfway paid attention.
He whistled to get their attention. He suceeded. Suceeded in scaring them awake.
"Okie dokie! Lets get started." He said out loud so everyone in the gym could hear. "We are going to practice our lay-ups!"
The whole class moaned. Boooorrriiinnnggg....
"Shut-up!" He said reading his book. Without taking his eyes off the book, he kicked the ball up off the ground and caught it with his arm. His arm tilted and ran down onto his hand then he walked up to the hoop and just through it in. Net. The whole class 'ooohhh' and 'awed' having sudden intrest in the hot teacher. He caught it (still reading) and rolled the ball from one arm to another across his back then it rolled down his body and with his ankle he kicked to Sasuke. "Sasuke.... Show us a lay-up."
Sasuke got up from the bleachers and went over to his teacher growling.
All the girls in the class giggled amongst themselves as the boys sulked.
Kakashi was planning to block Sasuke from the hoop. But if you know Sasuke, he's not having it.
He bounced the ball a couple of times between his legs a few times to warm up. He crouched to the ground so Kakashi wouldn't be able to easily get the ball.
As fast as lighting can it the ground and come back up, Sasuke charged for the hoop. Boucing the ball to stay within the rules he dodged Kakashi to the right. Kakashi blocked him and Sasuke slid under his legs to get to the other side. (still bouncing the ball! He's safe!) With a turn of grace Sasuke landed the ball into the hoop. Another complete net.
And the girls sqealed. "YAY! Sasuke!" or "Sasuke your so cool!"
Sasuke let the ball bounce to the floor. Kakashi was quite impressed. He never expected him to go under him since he was too tall.
When Sasuke sat down very satisfyed at his display Ino rushed over. "Sasuke that was amazing!" She hugged him.
Having a conditioned reaction Sakura came over. "Let go of him Ino-pig!"
Ino looked toward Sakura. "Hmph! FYI, I'm still mad at you for this moring!" Sakura whimpered. "And besides... You like Neji!"
Sakura gasped. Neji wasn't listening. He was paying attention to Kakashi ramble on about Basketball (he doesn't know how to play).
Sakura pouted while Sasuke glanced at her uneasily. Ino continued with a sly smile on her face. "Don't you? I saw you two getting ready to kiss. You must really like him... to kiss him."
Sakura's anger boiled. 'How could you tell Sasuke all that? I deserve it, but two wrongs don't make a right!' Ino cackled while Sasuke tried to ignore it.
Sakura got on the floor and grabbed Sasuke's hands. "You don't believe her do you?" She pleaded. The whole class turned.
Shikamaru laughed to one of his buddies. "This kinda thing happened in History class..."
Sasuke looked to Sakura blushing a tint darker. Almost noticable. "I- I don't." He said with a sigh. Ino gasped and turned white.
"Sasuke-kun! I saw them! I swear I did!" Ino screeched.
Sakura hugged Sasuke's hips. "I'm glad..." Sasuke made a uncomfortable grunt meaning 'Please get off me....'. She sat beside him opposite of Ino. "But we do need to talk..."
Sasuke looked surprised for once. Sakura sadly looked at the floor. He said nothing but he took his hand and lifted her head up. Gesturing to keep her head up. ^^ She smiled.
Ino made a really mean nasty face. "Hmph."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura was in the hallway making her way over to her locker where she would meet Sasuke.
She saw him come over. Her heart raced as she tried to open her locker.
"Hey, what did you want to talk about?" He asked cooly.
Sakura hesitated. "I know that.... I've liked-.... loved you from the beginning. But I... I want to let go of you. I just wanted to tell you that." She turned to her locker. She wanted to cry, but not in front of Sasuke. "You always ignore me. I found someone. He doesn't ignore me either. In fact he shows his feelings to me. I can see it, when he looks at me."
Sasuke just stared at her back. He gave a grunt and began to walk to his class. Sakura noticed that her moved. "Sasuke! COME BACK!" She commanded almost angry. The whole hallway of students silenced.
She teared up but tried to supressed the emotion. "I just ask one thing Sasuke.... Why is your heart closed?"
Sasuke answered simply. "Its not." The he began his pace again.
Sakura glanced at the boy walking off. Away, forever.
Forever. Never to come back.
She struggled with her locker and swung it open. A bouquet of roses came out and landed on her head.
"OW! What the heck!" She patted her hair pack and picked up the flowers. "Umm.... Its a mix of red and yellow. Love and friendship?" She found the tag.
'Sasuke....' She thought....
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
At lunch everyone chattered happily at the new gossip. Now that eveyone knows about who Sakura and Ino likes. Gossip spreads like butter on bread.
Ino sat beside Sasuke (usual) while Sakura sat with Neji.
For the last couple of days, Sakura makes him lunch and helps him study.
She stuffed a finger sandwhich in her mouth. She said nothing flipping the pages of her science book. Neji looked up from his writing to watch her eat peacefully.
She caught his gaze. "Uh..." She blushed. "What?"
Neji shook his head and went back to his studies. Sasuke watched them from afar. Sulking at Neji. His rival had something he didn't. Sakura.
"Sakura..." Neji asked.
"Yes?" She said stuffing another in her mouth.
"The lunch is.... good. How many have you wasted on Sasuke?"
Sakura smiled. "Too many to count. I'm so happy that you like them." She giggled with some pink on her face. "I'm happy cooking it, if someone enjoys it. Even though, my education comes first..." Her hands held her hot cheeks. "But I want to be a good wife...to...someone special..."
Neji quickly looked back down to his notebook. Hoping that he could be a candidate. He loved her cooking, her walk, her talk. Her mind compares to nothing on the earth. And the way she carries herself... He couldn't lose her.
He continued complimenting her. "Its scrumptious. Better than my Moms... you could be a great...." Neji paused. "...mom...."
Sakura paused also. There was a silence between them. It wasn't a uncomfortable one. They loved the company of each other. Sakura blushed and took a tiny bite out of her sandwhich. 'I feel so weak now...' Sakura thought. 'I feel like I'm out in the open, so vunerable. Is this what it feels like falling in love?' Her heart pounded a bit as she stared at Neji's masculine figure. 'He is cute. And he's quiet. I think he likes me...' She pursed her lips and continued her work.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So, why did you guys disppear like that?" Sakura asked at home on her phone.
Hinata was on the other line. "Well, Naruto-kun and I took a walk. We both got in trouble, but Iruka let us off easy."
"So how'd your parents take it?"
"They took it alright. I never get into much trouble so they don't mind a bit. Neji was a little nervous about me spending time with Naruto. He'll aprove of him, I'm sure." Hinata giggled happily.
"Aprove!? But your so young! Don't you think that a little in the future?"
"Well...."
"Hinata!" Sakura sqealed. She calmed. "Well, what did you all talk about?"
"About... well, everything. What we wanted out of our relationship and what to expect in the future."
"Hinata! Thats so... umm... Mature! Are you sure it was Naruto! Thats too grown for him!"
"No. Actually he was serious about it!"
"Wow." Sakura gasped. "What else did you talk about?"
Hinata giggled. "Why do you want to know? You wanna go out with Naruto now that he's serious?!"
Sakura fell out laughing and fell off the bed. "No! Why...*giggle* What would I want that? Yuck! But." Her voice was calm and collective now. Sakura had her legs resting on the bed and her body on the floor. "Hinata?"
"Yes Sakura-chan?"
"I think I do like your cousin. He said, I could be a good mother."
"What! He did? Thats strange of him." Hinata admitted.
"I know... We also, almost kissed." Sakura could hear Hinata cough on the other side.
"You what!?"
"We almost kissed Hinata!" Sakura cooed.
"With my stupid cousin!?" Sakura could hear someone fall in the backround. It was probably Neji falling off his pull up bar. (he does upside down situps while loading a gun blind folded! ^^ J/K)
Hinata heared Hinata scream. "Kyah! Are you okay Neji?!" Sakura heard her put the phone down and a few whispers in the back.
Sakura turned the volume up on her phone. Still couldn't hear. 'WHAT AM I DOING!?' Sakura asked herself. She turned the volume back down now that she hear Hinata come over.
"Look I got to go. Neji hurt his head. He heard us talking about him."
"Oh dear! Tell him I'm sorry!"
"okay okay.... Calm down." She enhanced her voice so Neji could hear. "NO NEED TO WORRY SO MUCH SAKURA.... HE'S FINE. GOSH YOU WORRY ABOUT HIm TOO MUCH. OF COURSE HE LIKES YOU!"
Sakura almost choked the phone. "HINATA!" Sakura could hear footsteps come toward Hinata then she heard the phone slam down.
Sakura gladly cut off her phone as well. 'Hmmm... He must've been embarassed. Hinata is something else now that she has a boyfriend. But Naruto, being serious? I wonder if he likes Hinata. I hope so. And I hope it lasts.... I really do. If it doesn't..." Sakura laid on her bed. And drifted halfway to sleep. "If it doesn't... I wonder...."
Chappie 8: BUT NEJI! IT'S JUST A HICKEY!
*HEYAS! ^^ Time to tell how I was killed! Well, I was a restaurant (I won't tell you which, I don't wanna get in trouble!) ANYWAY! I was there! And I was eating this delicious Mexican Rice Bowl when I found a skewer in it! DO YOU KNOW WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED IF I ATE IT!? Right before my B-day too! GRR! My nice brother raised hell up in there (not really). He demanded the Manager. So the manager walked on over and made a deal that my meal was free of charge! ^^ YAY! My last dinner when I was 14 was free! Whatta way to go! Yay Willi-chan! (HE'S SINGLE LADIES! HE PLAYS FOOTBALL AND LOVES VIDEO GAMES! HE REALLY SWEET AND HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU TO THE DEATH! COME AND GET UM!) Ha ha ha ha.Suckers... Anyway! please review! I beg you! They give me strength! Thank you! Well, Mrs. Kusanagi is signing off again! And as always, love you!*
Sorry dragon18! Thank you! ^^

When Sasuke sat down very satisfyed at his display Ino rushed over. "Sasuke that was amazing!" She hugged him.
Having a conditioned reaction Sakura came over. "Let go of him Ino-pig!"
Ino looked toward Sakura. "Hmph! FYI, I'm still mad at you for this moring!" Sakura whimpered. "And besides... You like Neji!"
Sakura gasped. Neji wasn't listening. He was paying attention to Kakashi ramble on about Basketball (he doesn't know how to play).
Sakura pouted while Sasuke glanced at her uneasily. Ino continued with a sly smile on her face. "Don't you? I saw you two getting ready to kiss. You must really like him... to kiss him."
Sakura's anger boiled. 'How could you tell Sasuke all that? I deserve it, but two wrongs don't make a right!' Ino cackled while Sasuke tried to ignore it.
Sakura got on the floor and grabbed Sasuke's hands. "You don't believe her do you?" She pleaded. The whole class turned.
Shikamaru laughed to one of his buddies. "This kinda thing happened in History class..."
Sasuke looked to Sakura blushing a tint darker. Almost noticable. "I- I don't." He said with a sigh. Ino gasped and turned white.
"Sasuke-kun! I saw them! I swear I did!" Ino screeched.
Sakura hugged Sasuke's hips. "I'm glad..." Sasuke made a uncomfortable grunt meaning 'Please get off me....'. She sat beside him opposite of Ino. "But we do need to talk..."
Sasuke looked surprised for once. Sakura sadly looked at the floor. He said nothing but he took his hand and lifted her head up. Gesturing to keep her head up. ^^ She smiled.
Ino made a really mean nasty face. "Hmph."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura was in the hallway making her way over to her locker where she would meet Sasuke.
She saw him come over. Her heart raced as she tried to open her locker.
"Hey, what did you want to talk about?" He asked cooly.
Sakura hesitated. "I know that.... I've liked-.... loved you from the beginning. But I... I want to let go of you. I just wanted to tell you that." She turned to her locker. She wanted to cry, but not in front of Sasuke. "You always ignore me. I found someone. He doesn't ignore me either. In fact he shows his feelings to me. I can see it, when he looks at me."
Sasuke just stared at her back. He gave a grunt and began to walk to his class. Sakura noticed that her moved. "Sasuke! COME BACK!" She commanded almost angry. The whole hallway of students silenced.
She teared up but tried to supressed the emotion. "I just ask one thing Sasuke.... Why is your heart closed?"
Sasuke answered simply. "Its not." The he began his pace again.
Sakura glanced at the boy walking off. Away, forever.
Forever. Never to come back.
She struggled with her locker and swung it open. A bouquet of roses came out and landed on her head.
"OW! What the heck!" She patted her hair pack and picked up the flowers. "Umm.... Its a mix of red and yellow. Love and friendship?" She found the tag.
'Sasuke....' She thought....
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
At lunch everyone chattered happily at the new gossip. Now that eveyone knows about who Sakura and Ino likes. Gossip spreads like butter on bread.
Ino sat beside Sasuke (usual) while Sakura sat with Neji.
For the last couple of days, Sakura makes him lunch and helps him study.
She stuffed a finger sandwhich in her mouth. She said nothing flipping the pages of her science book. Neji looked up from his writing to watch her eat peacefully.
She caught his gaze. "Uh..." She blushed. "What?"
Neji shook his head and went back to his studies. Sasuke watched them from afar. Sulking at Neji. His rival had something he didn't. Sakura.
"Sakura..." Neji asked.
"Yes?" She said stuffing another in her mouth.
"The lunch is.... good. How many have you wasted on Sasuke?"
Sakura smiled. "Too many to count. I'm so happy that you like them." She giggled with some pink on her face. "I'm happy cooking it, if someone enjoys it. Even though, my education comes first..." Her hands held her hot cheeks. "But I want to be a good wife...to...someone special..."
Neji quickly looked back down to his notebook. Hoping that he could be a candidate. He loved her cooking, her walk, her talk. Her mind compares to nothing on the earth. And the way she carries herself... He couldn't lose her.
He continued complimenting her. "Its scrumptious. Better than my Moms... you could be a great...." Neji paused. "...mom...."
Sakura paused also. There was a silence between them. It wasn't a uncomfortable one. They loved the company of each other. Sakura blushed and took a tiny bite out of her sandwhich. 'I feel so weak now...' Sakura thought. 'I feel like I'm out in the open, so vunerable. Is this what it feels like falling in love?' Her heart pounded a bit as she stared at Neji's masculine figure. 'He is cute. And he's quiet. I think he likes me...' She pursed her lips and continued her work.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So, why did you guys disppear like that?" Sakura asked at home on her phone.
Hinata was on the other line. "Well, Naruto-kun and I took a walk. We both got in trouble, but Iruka let us off easy."
"So how'd your parents take it?"
"They took it alright. I never get into much trouble so they don't mind a bit. Neji was a little nervous about me spending time with Naruto. He'll aprove of him, I'm sure." Hinata giggled happily.
"Aprove!? But your so young! Don't you think that a little in the future?"
"Well...."
"Hinata!" Sakura sqealed. She calmed. "Well, what did you all talk about?"
"About... well, everything. What we wanted out of our relationship and what to expect in the future."
"Hinata! Thats so... umm... Mature! Are you sure it was Naruto! Thats too grown for him!"
"No. Actually he was serious about it!"
"Wow." Sakura gasped. "What else did you talk about?"
Hinata giggled. "Why do you want to know? You wanna go out with Naruto now that he's serious?!"
Sakura fell out laughing and fell off the bed. "No! Why...*giggle* What would I want that? Yuck! But." Her voice was calm and collective now. Sakura had her legs resting on the bed and her body on the floor. "Hinata?"
"Yes Sakura-chan?"
"I think I do like your cousin. He said, I could be a good mother."
"What! He did? Thats strange of him." Hinata admitted.
"I know... We also, almost kissed." Sakura could hear Hinata cough on the other side.
"You what!?"
"We almost kissed Hinata!" Sakura cooed.
"With my stupid cousin!?" Sakura could hear someone fall in the backround. It was probably Neji falling off his pull up bar. (he does upside down situps while loading a gun blind folded! ^^ J/K)
Hinata heared Hinata scream. "Kyah! Are you okay Neji?!" Sakura heard her put the phone down and a few whispers in the back.
Sakura turned the volume up on her phone. Still couldn't hear. 'WHAT AM I DOING!?' Sakura asked herself. She turned the volume back down now that she hear Hinata come over.
"Look I got to go. Neji hurt his head. He heard us talking about him."
"Oh dear! Tell him I'm sorry!"
"okay okay.... Calm down." She enhanced her voice so Neji could hear. "NO NEED TO WORRY SO MUCH SAKURA.... HE'S FINE. GOSH YOU WORRY ABOUT HIm TOO MUCH. OF COURSE HE LIKES YOU!"
Sakura almost choked the phone. "HINATA!" Sakura could hear footsteps come toward Hinata then she heard the phone slam down.
Sakura gladly cut off her phone as well. 'Hmmm... He must've been embarassed. Hinata is something else now that she has a boyfriend. But Naruto, being serious? I wonder if he likes Hinata. I hope so. And I hope it lasts.... I really do. If it doesn't..." Sakura laid on her bed. And drifted halfway to sleep. "If it doesn't... I wonder...."
