Chapter 6: What are you hiding behind that smile?
"I couldn't find them yesterday! They ran into the woods and then disappeared!" Sakura replied angrily to the rest of the Uchiha fangirls. They all muttered in anger. "Who knows what she could be doing to sabotage our poor Sasuke!"
"We only spoke to each other yesterday," Hinata replied softly. Everyone jumped at Hinata's voice. Sakura, with that big head of nothing of hers, pointed at Hinata angrily.
"That's what you WANT us to think! You probably manipulated him into doing something downright cruel!" Sakura screeched. Hinata noticed that Sakura had colored 'Hope Now' on her arm. It was in bright pink, probably a highlighter. She closed in on Hinata. "I know what's behind that shy smile of yours—and we all plan to tell Sasuke about it."
"What's behind your anger, Sakura?" Hinata asked softly. Sakura backed away, her face grimacing with disgust. However, everyone else listened intently on the shy Hyuuga girl. "Is it pain or anger? Maybe even sadness? S-sasuke hurt you, and so you hurt me… does it have to be this way? If you try hard enough, maybe… just maybe, you can change too, so you don't have to hurt anymore."
Sakura turned around snottily and left. The rest of them followed like obedient dogs, except one. Her name was Ino. She had nice blond hair, but her attitude was one of a wild boar.
"You know, Hinata, I can't say I hate you for going out with Sasuke because it was mainly our faults, but what you said… has such a ring of truth to it, I think Sakura will take it to heart," she said with a proud smirk. The blond waved to Hinata before running off.
"You handled that well."
"It must be hard being who you are, Sasuke. To push away people gently, and yet be yourself," Hinata stated, not looking back. A small smile flickered across her face. "Is that true strength?"
"Probably not," Sasuke replied lamely. "You handled it better than I would've. I'd probably kick their butts to the ends of the earth until I was satisfied."
"No you wouldn't. You're too nice to do that," Hinata assured faintly. She started to walk away. "You'd probably do the same as I did… just with a little more strength."
"Yeah, maybe." Sasuke couldn't help but think that she knew him so well and they haven't even known each other for that long? Were they friends or were they more? There was emptiness and filling at the same time, so it became too confusing.
'Meet me at the big tree after school. You remember how to get there right?'
Hinata smiled at the note she found and nodded. After class, she darted out of school like a rabbit and hurried to the tree. Sasuke had already called her out once—but twice seemed strange. Was there something important at hand? She hoped that if it was, it was good news.
Then again, she hoped it was.
End of Chapter 6: What are you hiding behind that smile?
Author's Note: MANNN... that is ONE short chapter. And yes, I made Sakura cruel like that because I hate her. XD I just like making her suffer. I hate Sasuke too. Egotistical emo fart-face. Gosh, I hate them so much--so I think the DEE DEE DEE's should be together. Hahahahaha... they will have dee dee dee children! (if you watch Mind of Mencia, you'd understand what I'm saying) Anywayyyy... next chapter is sorta heart moving, and I like it a lot. Soooo... I shall make a preview for you (like a commercial)
Preview for Chapter 7: An Unknown Bond, An Unknown Answer
"To create a rainbow, you just need water… and a sunny place," Sasuke stated, looking up into the treetops. Hinata raised an eyebrow. Her name meant a sunny place. Water? What was water? "I want… to chase a rainbow too."
There was a crack of lightning and then it started to downpour. Sasuke suddenly appeared next to Hinata. He whispered into her ear, "I don't know how I'm feeling, so find me… please find me and tell me."
End of Preview
Yes, that's what I actually wrote. Initially, I planned on having chapter 7 being the last chapter, but I might change that because I still have to change my epilouge. So... yeah, see you all later.
Muuu--says the cow,
