Chapter 4: Suck It Up
Hinata
Hinata watched as Sasuke faded away into the dark of the forest. He isn't telling me the whole truth. I must find out what he's keeping from me. I'll follow him. Naruto poked her in the shoulder. She ignored him. But first to distract Naruto. Easy. Ramen. He poked her again, this time harder. A lot harder.
"Ouch!"
"Hey, what's goin' on between you and Sasuke? Huh? Huh? What is it?"
She rubbed her shoulder. The poke really had hurt. "Wh-what? I-it's nothing like that! We were only having lunch…"
"Oh really? Then why's he being so nice to you? Uh, not that I was spying on you or anything."
"Would you like some ramen, Naruto-kun?" She pointed to the food.
"Believe it!" He ran over to the food and began stuffing is face with noodles.
Now I'm free to go. He'll never notice that I'm gone. She walked into the forest. If I hurry I can catch up to Sasuke. Maybe I can find the courage to question him further… no I will find the courage. I can do this! She continued walking, now with a lively bounce in her step.
