Chapter 7: Crocus and the Transferee.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

As Hinata opened the steel door of her locker that morning she suddenly blushed. She was surprised to see a single flower again inside her locker. A solitary long-tube flower and have slender linear leaves. She has never seen a flower like this before. Hinata took the flower out of her locker and looked at Ino, who is busy fixing her things.

"Um... Ino?" Hinata shyly asked while holding the flower in front of her. Ino knew what Hinata wants to say and she smiled at her.

"Hey! Sakura, Hinata have just received a flower again" Ino called out.

"What?! That's great." Sakura approached the two girls.

"So is there a note that he wants to see you? Or something else that we can figure out who is he?" she continued but she received a negative respond as Hinata shook her head.

"Oh..." Sakura was disappointed.

"Don't be sad Sakura. We'll soon find out who is he." Ino pats Sakura's shoulder and smiled.

Ino took the flower from Hinata's hand and started to examine it.

'So where did I saw this one' she asked herself and raised the flower up high.

'Single tubular...grass-like leaves...um...' Ino looked at Hinata, who is waiting patiently for her answer.

"Yes, this one is a crocus flower." She finally said.

"Then what is its meaning then?" Sakura impatiently said.

"I wonder why he gave this to you."

"Hey what is its meaning Ino?" Sakura said excitedly.

"Yes, yes its meaning is youthful gladness." As Ino said those words, Hinata and Sakura were confused.

"Youthful gladness?" the bell rang after Sakura said those words.

Hinata was seated at her desk thinking why the flower mean gladness does. She never remembers some one who is glad to see her.

'Youthful gladness.' She thought of the meaning and then she didn't notice that their teacher has arrived. She heard a voice in a monotonous tone that is calling her. Hinata suddenly realized that Sasuke was the one who is calling her and pointing out that the teacher had come. She stood up like the rest and greeted their teacher.

"Ok class. I want you to greet your new classmate..." the male teacher introduced as a guy came out behind the door of their classroom. Hinata's eyes widen as she saw who it was.

"...He's your new classmate. Inuzuka Kiba." Kiba rolled his eyes and spotted Hinata seated at the fourth row.

"Ah! Hinata" he waved his right hand to Hinata and the whole class looked at her. Her face was tainted in pink for embarrassment but she smiled at him.

"You know him?" Sasuke whispered and she nodded.

"I met him yesterday." She replied honestly.

"So you know Hyuuga Hinata. Well then you may sit beside her." The teacher pointed to where he supposed to sit.

Kiba walked towards his desk and his eyes were locked on Hinata. Hinata just smiled feeling uncomfortable with him sitting beside her. Kiba then spotted Sasuke glaring at him but he just smiled and sits immediately on his chair.

"We meet again." Kiba greeted.

"Yes." Hinata nodded and smiled at him.

"So how's Akamaru?" She found the words to say to him so that she can feel comfortable.

"Akamaru? Well he's ok and he missed you." Kiba knew that Sasuke was listening to them so he continued to piss him off.

'Why is Hinata so close with this brat...?' Sasuke was really listening to them and asking questions in his head that made him angry.

'And who's Akamaru?' he glared at Kiba and Kiba just smiled and really intended to make Sasuke angry.

"Well I missed him too." Hinata replied.

'What!? She missed someone.' Sasuke continued listening and asking questions to himself.

"You missed the dog but did you miss me?" Kiba said smiling and looked at Sasuke, who is shocked and angry.

'Akamaru is a dog? Thank God but this brat...'

"Well do you want to see Akamaru?" Hinata nodded and looks like she is excited.

"You can go to my house if you want." Kiba proposed.

'Hinata in this brat's house. NO! She can't.' Sasuke was protesting inside and trying to control his emotions.

"Oh...I'm sorry Kiba but I think I can't go to someone else house but only to my friends." Hinata replied and Sasuke was relieved as he heard her reject his offer.

'I knew Hinata won't be going with him.'

"Well maybe next time until we became closer to each other." Kiba smirked and Hinata blushed.

'What does he mean by that?' Sasuke clenched his fist in anger and hit his desk. The whole class looked at him and even Kiba and Hinata.

"Well Sasuke do you want to destroy your desk?" His teacher looked at him and he just shook his head.

"Because Sasuke made a distraction to our lesson I'll you all a surprised quiz right now." The students protested.

"Ok so it is fair enough if Sasuke go for solo and the others are by twos?" the students agreed except for Sasuke.

"So find your partners now." Kiba moved his chair closer to Hinata and whispered.

"Can we be partners?" Hinata nodded. Kiba caught Sasuke staring at them and he smiled teasingly.

Hinata brought out her pencil and eraser from her bag while their teacher was distributing the papers. Kiba did what Hinata instructed and answered their paper with the help of Hinata. He could smell her sweet scent as their heads come closer and closer to each other.

On the other hand Sasuke can't concentrate on his paper. He would look at them every now and then. He suddenly heard Kiba saying some words but he can't understand.

"Hinata?" Kiba made his voice noticeable to hear. Hinata looked at him.

"Do you know you have a different scent? A special scent." Hinata blushed and Sasuke was shocked.

"What is it you're saying Kiba?" Kiba didn't noticed that their teacher was listening to him at his back his intention was just made Sasuke hear it.

"Oh nothing sensei." Kiba was sweat drop.

"You're just new here Kiba so don't try to make some trouble." He warned

"Ok. I won't." he promised. Kiba took a glance at Sasuke. He was still glaring at him.

'Ok Sasuke made yourself angry or should I say...jealous.' He smiled at him and turns to his paper.

'Inuzuka Kiba you should be prepared when you entered here.' Kiba really get in to Sasuke's nerves.
