A soft knock came from Hinata's door that seemed to reverberate through her empty room. She sat perfectly still, trying to ignore it by covering her ears. The last thing she needed was her father yelling at her again. She curled into a ball and tucked her head into her chest. There was a momentary pause, and she saw it slide open ever so slightly (you know, cause I figured the Hyuga estate has those old fashion Japanese sliding doors). She closed her eyes and kept her head down.
"Pitiful…."
She tried sitting still, but shivered none the less.
Neji shook his head and closed the door behind him.
Naruto skidded to a halt as he approached the Hyuga's vast estate. How could he be so stupid? Even though he ran all this way, he had no idea where Hinata was, and it wasn't as if he could ask where she was.
"Crap…." Naruto thought to himself.
He scaled the walls looking for ledge he could boost himself onto. If he was caught, he most likely be punished severely. It was after all, trespassing. He found a small ledge where flowers were growing and stepped up onto it. He peered over the walls and checked if the close was clear.
"Love sure makes you do crazy things hun?" he heard a voice say behind him.
Naruto whipped around, shocked to see Sasuke.
"Sasuke? What the hell are you doing here?"
"Mmmm….A bit of late night wandering. I had some…things on my mind." He was about to say someone, but caught himself.
Naruto stared at him for a while. It didn't seem too unlikely. He was always doing weird things. After all, it was Sasuke, and no one understood him anyways.
"You know what room she's in?" asked Sasuke.
Naruto shook his head.
"Dumbass."
"Hey, shut the hell up. How do you even know about Hinata and me?"
"Sakura, Dumbass. She was over earlier. Just like every other day. The girl doesn't shut up. She tells me stuff about everyone. Ino, Shikamaru, Kiba, Shino, she's got something on everyone. Her and her stupid big forehead. And her stupid pink hair. And her big dumb green eyes. …." he trailed off.
Naruto stared at him some more. It wasn't unusual for him to make fun of Sakura, but he seemed to be stuck on the subject for quite a while.
"…..and another thing that really bugs me is when she splits her chopsticks and always looks at me first to start eating. Or when she-"
Naruto interrupted him. "So….you like her?"
Sasuke gave him a look of disgust. "No you dumbass, I'm telling you how annoying she is!"
Naruto shook his head and gave a small chuckle. He wasn't as dumb as people said he was and could see right through Sasuke's act. He was obsessing over her.
"Anyways, don't get caught dumbass," said Sasuke walking away.
Naruto nodded and gave him a goofy smile.
Hanabi sat outside on her porch looking over her Zen garden. It was a beautiful night out. The air was clean and crisp, with the occasional chirp of a cricket. She heard a small grunt, and then a soft thud. She turned her head towards the noise perplexed. She saw a blonde boy get up and dust off his bottoms. Hanabi got up and went to go greet him.
Naruto looked around his surroundings. He jumped over the wall and into the Hyuga estate. If he was caught it would be his head on a stick…
"Hi!" said a voice behind him.
Naruto jumped what must have been 10 feet into the air.
"I'm Hanabi, what's your name?"
Naruto turned around to find no one there. He looked down to see a little girl smiling up at him.
"Er…..hi…..," he said uncertainly.
"What's your name?" she asked.
"……Naruto."
"Oh crap! Why'd I use my real name?" he though to himself.
"What are you doing here? Are you here to play with me?" she asked innocently.
"Um, yes. Wait, no. I mean," he took a deep breath. "Do you know where Hinata is?"
Hanabi's eyes lit up like a light bulb.
"Onee-chan?"
Naruto gave a blank stare. Onee-chan? Was this her little sister?
"Um…yes…yes, that's right," he said nervously. If he was wrong, he'd be a dead man.
"Hold on a sec, okay?" she raced off into her house and Naruto was left alone out in the open. He gave out a long sigh and sat down on her porch. He put his head into his hands and let out a groan. What would he say to her? What if "Hinata" wasn't even Hinata? What if it's another Hinata? What if he got caught? Questions buzzed around in his brain.
