Chapter 2: Don't you have someone yet?
Naruto sighed. He still didn't know what that feeling he just felt a while ago. But he is sure of one thing, he liked that feeling. He then made his way through the streets and then arriving at his favorite restaurant, Ichiraku Ramen. He sat down there, thinking about what took place a while ago.
"One super-size ramen please." He said at the cook.
"Naruto?" a female beside him said. He then turned his head and saw Sakura and Sasuke eating too.
"Yo! Why are you eating here, Sasuke? Aren't you gonna take her to a more expensive restaurant?" Naruto asked her.
"Heh... I took her here because it looks like we've already ate at every restaurant here in the village and because she wanted to eat here." Sasuke replied.
"I want to eat here because I missed this place... and what a coincidence! Team seven is eating together here again!" Sakura added. Naruto then recalled that he gave up on Sakura-chan 6 years ago. "After all... it was just a crush..." Naruto thought and he smiled at the two. The cook then served him his order. He ate it silently; Sakura and Sasuke didn't even hear a sound as he slurped the noodles. They wondered why Naruto is awfully quiet. Sakura then thought of something to liven up the atmosphere a little bit.
"Ne, Naruto..." she said with a big grin on her face. "Don't you have someone special yet?"
Some of Naruto's food got caught in his throat and then he coughed. After coughing a lot he then blushed. "Hahaha! Oi Naruto... you're blushing!" Sakura chuckled but inner Sakura laughed a lot. Sasuke just chuckled but deep inside he laughed a lot too.
"Oi... Sakura... are you toying with me?" Naruto said still blushing.
"No... chuckling I'm serious..." Sakura said
"Why would you be interested in my love life Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked
"Naruto... I'm the one asking here... so you better answer now..." Sakura said.
"Is that a threat?" Naruto asked. He then finished his meal and got up from his seat. He then paid up for his Ramen. His appetite vanished when Sakura brought up the question. He didn't want to talk about it because he didn't know what to say about it.
"Leaving already? Come on Naruto, answer my question..." Sakura said.
Naruto then stared at her. "Maybe..." he whispered at her before he walked away.
Hinata then entered her apartment. She had been living there for about five years. Her apartment looked quite simple, neither too girlish nor too boyish, it was just plain simple. She sat there in her couch.
You have beautiful eyes, Hinata-chan... It was now the one echoing in her mind. She is still shocked by the fact that Naruto found her empty pearly eyes beautiful. It was the first time she got praised for her eyes, and Naruto was the one said that. Her heart almost exploded in happiness. She then felt sleepy. She rushed and entered her bedroom and she lied there and slept peacefully.
In her dream:
Hinata was packing up late at night. She planned on running away from the clan tonight. Someone then knocked at her door. "Who might that be?" she asked herself. She the stashed her bag and hid it in her cabinet. She then opened the door and saw Neji.
"Brother Neji?" she said. Neji smiled at her. Neji has been nicer to her ever since he read the scroll containing the truth of his father's death.
"Hinata-sama... I've got something to ask you. Can I come in?" Hinata nodded and then Neji entered her room.
"What is it, Brother Neji" she asked as Neji sat down in the floor.
Neji then suddenly looked serious. Hinata sat down on the old styled floor. "I know what you are planning..." Neji said
"But how did you?" Hinata exclaimed.
"Heh... it's just a hunch, you've been acting very weird lately..." Neji said "But are you sure about it?" Hinata nodded "But where will you go?"
"I'll rent an apartment..." she answered
"Do you have enough money to move out yet?" Neji asked
"That's my problem..." Hinata looked down
"Here..." Neji then pulled her hand and placed some money in it. He smiled at Hinata.
"Brother N-Neji..." Hinata said. Neji then stood up and approached the door, he opened it. "Take it, it's a gift..." Neji stepped outside and closed the door again. All Hinata could hear was his fading footsteps.
Hinata's sleep was then cut by the phone beside her bed. She picked it up.
"Hello?" Hinata said
"Hinata-chan! It's me Naruto!" the caller said. "Sorry if I woke you up, but I was wondering if... if we can eat lunch together tomorrow. Is it all right?"
Hinata was shocked... Naruto is asking her... out?
"Hinata-chan, Are you still there?" Naruto asked
"Gomen..." Hinata said
"No it's all right... then would you?" Naruto asked
"S-sure..." Hinata answered. "Where will we meet?" Hinata asked
"Let me see..." Naruto said
"How about we meet at Ichiraku Ramen?" Hinata asked.
"All right! See you tomorrow then! Bye!" Naruto said.
"Bye..." Hinata then ended the phone call.
