Chapter 5: The Truth Revealed
Sasuke
NARUTO! One of these days I'll kill that Fucking brat! He kicked a rock and watched as it bounced along on the ground and then hit a tree root. I can't believe he ruined my perfect lunch with Hinata! And on top of that Hinata noticed that I treat her differently from everyone else. Well, maybe that's not so bad. At least she won't get quite as scared when I tell her how I feel about her. If I ever tell her. Nonsense. I know I will. He noticed that thinking about Hinata was calming him down a great deal. He stared at the ground that was passing beneath him and focused on a picture of Hinata. She was in the woods, standing in the only patch of light shining through the trees. She wasn't wearing her coat. She looked like an angel. He felt all the anger leave him and he looked forward again.
Footsteps. From behind. He kept walking and acted like he didn't notice the follower. Whoever was following him either wasn't very smart, or wasn't trying to sneak up on him. He slowly moved his hand toward his kunai holster. He slipped his hand into it and grasped a cold kunai. He focused on where the sound was coming from. That's where I need to aim. As he was about to turn around and throw it, he recognized the sweet smell of Hinata. He took his hand away from the kunai and abruptly stopped walking. Here's my chance.
"Why did you follow me, Hinata?"
She gasped, obviously surprised that he knew who it was. She paused for a second. "I-I'm not quite sure," she said in a quiet, timid voice.
Sasuke turned to look at her. She was staring at the ground and playing with her fingers. He never got tired of seeing her do that. Now… do it now.
"Hinata…" Yes… go.
She looked up at him with curiosity, her cheeks with a splash of redness in them. She looked so beautiful, so innocent. He stepped towards her and clasped both of her beautiful, soft hands in his. This time she didn't pull away from him. Instead she looked up into his eyes and moved closer to him.
