Hyuuga Neji…
Sabaku no Gaara…
Uchiha Sasuke…
…You're serious about killing me! In that case…I want some cherry blossoms too, a couple of bouquets won't do…I want a whole shop ya hear me! Wahahaha! Anyways…this chapter is dedicated to…
Find out yourself…Wahaahahahah!
A certain pink haired shinobi was strolling down the streets of Konoha, with no where to go in particular. Ever since Haru left, the house has been very quiet, perhaps the same kind of quietness as how her mother and father left. But Haru will come back, she was sure of it.
"One month…just one month and he'll be back." She smiled to herself as she turned a corner and accidentally bumping into Hinata and Neji.
"Hi, sorry I didn't see you!" she laughed at her clumsiness as she scratched her head.
"M-me and Neji-ni-san w-were about to get something to eat…w-would you like to join us Sakura-San?" Hinata spoke as she fiddled with her fingers.
"Sure, if that's ok with Neji." She smiled at Hinata who returned it with a small smile.
"I'm sure Neji-ni-san w-wouldn't mind." She looked over at her cousin.
"Hn…"
"Great! So, where shall we go Hinata?" she grabbed hold of the shy girl's arm and Hinata blushed at the sudden contact while Neji followed behind.
"I d-don't m-mind." She stuttered back.
"You should try and be more confident!" Sakura spoke as she dragged Hinata around the streets.
"I'll try but w-why d-don't you a-ask Neji-ni-san about w-where we should eat?"
"Neji-Kun! Where do you wanna eat? Anywhere is totally fine with me!"
"Hn…"
"Can you say something else other than that?" she smiled at him but he looked away and blushed a little bit.
"W-we can eat h-here if you w-want." Hinata stuttered as she pointed at a sign.
"Udon? That's a great idea! I haven't eaten udon in ages!" she laughed as she pulled Hinata into the restaurant, Neji followed behind them.
"Let's see…What shall we order? Udon!" she laughed at herself.
"Not m-much of a choice I d-don't think." She smiled at Sakura.
"Hn…"
"Neeeejiii-Kuuuun." Sakura called out to him in a sing-song voice while he reacted with a blush.
"What."
"Say something else other than 'Hn' or 'What' will ya?" she cocked her head to the side.
"Fine…" he looked away, unable to contain his blush any longer, Hinata giggled at the sight of her cousin.
"What s-shall we d-do after lunch Sakura-San?"
"I'm gonna make you stop stuttering like that!" she cackled as Hinata laughed nervously.
"You r-really don't have to do t-that Sakura-San."
"And stop using honorifics with me, just Sakura is fine."
"Ok, Sakura."
"Neejii! Say something!" Sakura yelled at him.
"Like what!" he glared at her.
"Something like…anything stupid then!" she sneered at him and he returned it with a glare of his own.
"Never knew Neji could be this socially inept…" Sakura smirked at him.
"Whatever…" he crossed his arms and looked outside.
"You are so, hopeless…" she sighed.
"That was good. Let's go find Naruto!" Sakura yelled out as she pulled Hinata to Ichiraku Ramen while Neji followed behind them.
"B-but w-we shouldn't d-disturb Naruto-Kun w-while he's eating, d-don't you t-think Sakura?"
"He wouldn't mind! Come on, let's go!" Sakura moved forward dragging behind a stuttering Hinata who was trying to escape Sakura's grip on her arm.
"I r-really d-don't want to g-go see Naruto-Kun."
"Sure you do and you shouldn't deny it!" she smiled at her but Hinata remained worried.
"It's n-not polite to d-disturb o-others while t-they are eating Sakura." Hinata spoke as she tried to pry the fingers of her while Neji came to the front of both of them.
"If she doesn't want to go then leave her be Sakura, you shouldn't force people into situations where they do not wish to be in." Neji stared at Sakura whose mouth was wide open.
"Oh my gosh! That's the most I've ever heard you say in one sentence! Congratulations Neji-Kun!" she clapped for him while he glared daggers at her.
"Don't mock me." He uncrossed his arms.
"I'm not mocking you, I'm simply congratulating you." She stuck her tongue out at him.
"Just because I don't talk much doesn't mean I'm dense, I mean. Look at Naruto, for a guy who talks so much, you have to wonder why he isn't very smart." Neji contemplated on that thought.
"Did you just mock Naruto?" she leered at him.
"I didn't mock him, I'm just comparing." He sneered at her.
"Comparing is almost like mocking, it's like saying you're better than him."
"Iam better than him."
"Is that a fact?" she smirked at him.
"What did I just say? I am better than him." he played a small smirk on his lips.
"Stop talking about Naruto-Kun like that." Hinata stamped her foot down, unable to handle the way the conversation was going and she glared at Neji.
"Gomen, Hinata-Sama." He bowed slightly and scornfully looked at Sakura who stuck her tongue out at him.
"Let's go Hinata." She took her arm and walked off, this time though, Hinata willingly followed while Neji decided to stay behind. As Sakura walked along side with Hinata, she couldn't help but ponder on her life. Hinata noticed her quietness and grew worried.
"Sakura, what's wrong?"
"Nothing! I was just thinking that's all." She laughed nervously as her pace got faster but Hinata persisted in asking.
"You can tell me if you want, I do not want to see you upset."
"I'm not upset, I was thinking."
"You are upset, now please tell me."
"Hey, cool. You stopped stuttering." She smiled at her.
"That's beside the point. Please tell me Sakura." She tugged onto her arm as Sakura's expression changed from faked happiness to pure sadness.
"…The two most important people in my life have just left me." Sakura spoke as she looked down on the floor.
"When will they be back?"
"One of them said that he'll be back in a month and so did the other."
"Then you only have to wait for a month."
"I guess so."
"There's something else on your mind isn't there?" Hinata spoke as she let go of Sakura's arm and they began to walk slowly over to Ichiraku Ramen.
"I suppose you could say that."
"What is it?"
"I guess it's about three guys that like me but I'm going out with one. The other two keep on leaving little reminders."
"I see."
"That's all you're gonna say?" Sakura sweat-dropped.
"Just follow your heart Sakura." Hinata smiled at her.
"That's what they always say!"
Sakura sat on her bed, with a scroll and ink pen in hand. She looked out of the window reminiscing about her life. Love life I suppose you could say. She then started writing down onto the scroll, a letter to Haku.
Hey Haru,
I know you only left a few days ago, but I just felt like writing. It's really quiet here and I don't like it. How are things in your village? And don't forget about Chiyako too.
I don't think I can handle a month with Neji and Sasuke without you, when will you be back? I know you said a month but can you come back earlier than that? I can't really stay in the same place with the two of them without going crazy with my words. I just ended up fighting with Neji today, it wasn't a big fight, it was just a fun kind of fight. Like how me and Ino used to fight. But I wasn't really comfortable talking to him like that, not much anyway.
Be safe on your journey and don't forget about me!
PS: I miss Gaara…
From Sakura.
Sakura gently blew onto the ink to help it dry faster, as soon as she was sure it was dry enough, she rolled up the scroll and went over to the office for a messenger shinobi to deliver a message to Haru.
I'm sorry…this really sucks…that's what I think. I received a few (interesting) comments I don't really like but I guess you gotta welcome all opinions neh!
Not in a particularly good mood today so yea…I nearly wrote Haru as Haku…and if that ever happens…I meant Haru not Haku…
The next fic might take a while for me to write but I will always do my best for you people! Especially when I'm in a good mood!
See yaz. And there's something seriously wierd going on in Fanfiction dot net...
