KD: HI! I can't believe I'm already on Chapter 4! I want to change the name to "Operation Rose" instead of "Silent Tears", what do you think?

Disclaimer: If you're going to forget that I don't own Naruto, write it down somewhere! So, you don't forget! I don't own "Cut The Connection", it's a poem not a song…but it could be song, and I prefer it as a song. So, it's a song.


Silent Tears

- Chapter 4: Cut the Connection

"Whoa! I can't believe I got such a heart-to-heart with Neji…amazing…" Hinata said mystified about the talk over chocolate.

"But, I really need to get over Naruto…I've been following him for such a long, long, long time…it's time to move on" Hinata whispered softly.

Hinata spotted the Ramen bar where Naruto had spent a lot of his time eating Ramen with Iruka-sensei…it saddened her to look at it…

Reminded her so much of him… blonde hair. Bright blue eyes, his happy-go-lucky smile. Hinata slowly approached the Ramen Bar, "Naruto-kun" Hinata whispered as she touched the counter of the Ramen Bar.

"Um. Are you looking for Naruto?" The Chef asked her, "N-No. Could I have a Ramen with Miso please?" Hinata asked as she sat on the stool.

"All right" He said giving her a warm smile, "Giving up Naruto is probably the hardest thing I've ever done in my life" Hinata whispered sadly as she watched the Chef whisper something to his wife.

His wife just giggled…

'Being in love is so…bittersweet…' Hinata thought as soft, sad music started playing out of nowhere.

"GREAT!" Hinata said sniffling, "STOP PLAYING THE SAD MUSIC, KDZ!" She wailed as the tempo started to go faster.

You think you're going out tonight, but you'll be staying in,

You'll sigh, you'll cry, you wonder why the phone will never ring.

"What?" Hinata said as she looked up to see Kiba, smiling at her with a microphone in his hand. "What is this Karaoke night?" Hinata asked the Chef, who just shrugged.

You know he's playing games like every other boy

But you don't care though you're aware he treats you like a toy

Chouji sang from the top of the tree, he had a really deep voice…like an Italian singer. "W-What's going o…on…" Hinata whispered softly obviously afraid of Kiba and Chouji.

"Just what have your friend's been smoking?" The Chef asked her, "I'd tell you if I knew" Hinata said staring at them with wide eyes.

He says he'll be there for you when all the chips are down,

But he's said the same to every girl in town

"Sh-SHINO? What are you doing?" Hinata said screamed in horror as she saw him swinging on the branch of the Tree, Chouji was on.

He doesn't care you're in despair as tears burn in your eyes

You'll sigh, you'll cry, you'll wonder why all he says are lies

"Kurenai-Sensei? Why are singing?" Hinata said staring at Kurenai-Sensei and Temari singing on top of the Ramen Counter; how they got there…fathom that on your own Time!

CUT the Connection, turn off the phone, grab hold of you life and you won't be alone!

Asuma sang as he jumped off the tree, and walked towards Hinata. 'All this singing is seriously making me uneasy' Hinata thought trying to edge away from them, but Kankuro had her in a death grip.

Believe in yourself and no one else and you'll find that you've surely grown

Kankuro sang to her, he had this smirk on his face as gave her this twirl and gave the delicate girl a push towards Gaara.

So cut the connection…

Gaara sang trying to ignore her…they had bribed him with Coffee to just sing that one line.

"SOOOOOOOO?" Asuma said tired from all that dancing, "I think you all need lives" Hinata said simply. "Did you at least like the song?" Kurenai asked, "It was okay" Hinata told them.

"Aw" Everyone looked depressed, it had taken him or her forever to come with such a nice song…even if they did have to surf the net looking for one that sounded good.

"I just thought that you'd be a little lonely, after your declaration that your giving up Naruto…I assumed that maybe you'd need some help" Kiba said sounding a little hurt, "Um! No! It was fabulous! I loved it! It's my favorite song!" Hinata said laughing nervously.

"Really?" Chouji said happily, "Yes. You all sounded fantastic" Hinata told them grinning. "YAY!" Everyone cheered; except for Gaara…it's not his style.

"So! I'd like to thank you all for trying to help me, but you know this is maybe something that I must overcome on my own" Hinata said trying to get up, "No" Kiba said grabbing her arm.

"C'mon…let us TRY to help you, okay?" Kiba told her softly, Hinata felt her face go warm…she'd never been this close to Kiba, let alone see how cute he was…guess she was always looking at Naruto.

Someone who paid her no mind, but Kiba always did…Kiba was her friend, Naruto was nothing but a dream. A dream, she was damn happy to let go!

"So, this first rule is…Indulge in lots, and lots of chocolate!" Kurenai said reading the book, "Been there. Done that" Hinata told Kurenai.

"You seemed fatter" Asuma mused as Kurenai hit him; Hinata just gave him an angry look. She wasn't as shy as she used to be…

"Be sure…are you SURE your over Naruto? HONESTLY?" Chouji asked her, "You are over him right?" Kiba was staring at her, with chocolate brown eyes…

"Let Hinata answer" Temari said angrily, "I'm over him," Hinata whispered wondering if she was lying…she couldn't tell. But, it was time to let go. She knew it.

"Good" Kiba said grinning, Hinata's face flushed again as she saw Kurenai nudge Asuma.

"She might be over him sooner than we thought" Kurenai hissed to Asuma who just smiled, he loved a happy ending…

"Remember the GOOD times" Temari told her, "so then it's easier to let go" Kankuro added to that. "How the hell is that easier?" Gaara said shocked, "Shut up" Kurenai snapped. Gaara just blinked, had he HEARD right? SOMEONE had told him to shut up?

Gaara just stood their stupefied, "I didn't have any good times with Naruto…" Hinata whispered sadly.

"OHOHHOHOHO! THAT IS SAAAAAD!" Kankuro shrieked with laughter as Temari and Kurenai stamped on his foot, angrily. "IYEEEE!" Kankuro shrieked, "Don't worry about it. We all make mistakes" Kiba said sadly.

Shino shot Kiba a dirty look, but who could tell with him wearing Sunglasses?

"ALTHOUGH! Things didn't work out between you and him, every life experience including past loves, shapes who you are. There's something positive to be gained" Asuma said proudly, Konohamaru had taught him that one.

"Even learning what you DON'T want in a love because you don't want it to be a lost cause, the more you open your heart…the easier it is to find MR. RIGHT! Because he's out there, but until you cut the connection you'll never see a good thing even if it's right in front of you," Asuma said pushing Kiba towards Hinata a bit.

Gaara snorted. "Who taught him that shit?" Gaara said with a smirk as Shino cleared his throat.

"There's no such thing as a lost cause for love," Shino told them, "Eh?" Temari said shocked. "Shino?" Hinata whispered in disbelief.

"It might make you feel better to think that your love was just a lost cause, but you really need to know is that love isn't something that's just there…it isn't something that REALLY develops out of nowhere either. It's about opening your heart to someone, to see if they'll accept it…taking a risk, for someone to see the real you" Shino told her.

Temari and Kurenai had tears in their eyes, "Those are powerful words, Shino" Kurenai told him.

"I'm reading them from Temari's shirt" Shino pointed out, "Oh. So, he is" Temari said looking at the top she'd just bought.

"I knew that sounded familiar" Kankuro said proudly, "But until then…bring on the CHOCOLATE!" Chouji said happily giving everyone a chocolate bar.

"YAY!" Asuma said happily, ripping open the wrapper and happily stuffing it in his mouth. "Do you eat that way at HOME?" Kurenai said disgusted, "Ew! That's gross," Temari said edging away.

"Now, do you and Konohamaru eat in different tables or WHAT?" Kiba said disgusted, "I'm SO proud" Chouji said wiping away a tear.

"Anyways, I was wondering about a Girl's night kind of thing? Watch some sad movies about the man dying, that'll cheer you up" Temari said slapping her heartily on the back.

"I would but…I think I need some alone time, and plus I'm kind of busy looking for a blonde" Hinata said walking off, "Did you not learn ANYTHING?" Chouji said shocked.

"Not for me, for…for someone else" Hinata said skipping off, "Um. So, I was wondering if maybe we could go out sometime? A-As friends" Kiba said quickly.

"O…okay! Well, bye!" Hinata yelled running off, "You've got it BAAAAAAAD!" Kankuro shouted happily. "Love is for losers" Gaara said shrugging, "with an attitude like THAT no wonder you don't have girls crawling all over you" Chouji said pitying him.

"GRRR" Gaara said angrily, "I'm sorry…I'm going to go now!" Chouji said grabbing his chocolate running off, "RIGHT BEHIND YA!" Kiba said running off from Gaara.

"I have a son to take care of! Ciao!" Asuma said 'poofing' off, "I…I'M A VAMPIRE!" Kurenai lied running off. "Dammit! Another night with Gaara" Temari said snapping her fingers angrily. "Why are we here, ANYWAYS?" Kankuro said confused.

"Where's my coffee?" Gaara asked them, as they stared at him dumbfounded. "Get my coffee or HEADS WILL ROLL!" Gaara shouted angrily.

"ON IT!" Temari squealed as Kankuro and Temari ran off to get Coffee, "They better come back" Gaara muttered as he looked around…he was alone indeed.
