A/N: Hi again my nonexistent fans! so I actually got 40 reviews! you guys don't know how happy I am. sooo I got something BIG planned for the next chapter. heh heh.
SO on with the story!
Chapter 6
"Who are you so in love with?"Hinata was stunned by the question. What was she supposed to say?"I...i.." she stuttered. Her heart rate increased and her face turned red. Is it Kiba, Shino?" Naruto asked. "You are always hanging out with them..."Hinata shook her head.
"It's not?!" Naruto was surprised.
"I don't think I could tell you" Hinata whispered.
At this point, Naruto was jealous of her mysterious love. Why can't it be me?! Naruto pouted which just made Hinata blush more. He is just so cute!
"Fine. What do you like about this stupid guy anyway" Naruto muttered.
"He...he is super funny, and tries his best even though people say he is a failure sometimes he does crazy things. No girls ever found him attractive, but I think he is incredibly cute" After Hinata said all that she realized that she might have said a little too much.
Naruto was confused. Then there was a thought that popped into his head. He was surprised by it, but it made sense. It couldn't be…no way she would like….
"Is it…" naruto hesitated.
Hinata's mouth dried. It's too late now. I said too much.
"Rock Lee?" Naruto guessed. Hinata wanted to facepalm so bad.
Naruto, on the other hand, though he got it on point.
"It's...not rock lee," Hinata said.
"What?!" Naruto jumped up from his chair.
Hinata didn't want to continue with the conversation, so she changed it.
"So...who are you so in love with?" She asks nervously.
The question was unexpected for Naruto. What was he supposed to say?
"I'm in love with…" naruto's face turned red. "An amazingly beautiful, strong, and smart girl that will never even consider someone like me," he said sadly. He didn't know why he said that. It just escaped his lips. He wasn't even sure he was in love with Hinata. He just…. felt it. He thought….no knew it was love.
Hinata's expression saddened "I'm sure if you confess to this her, she would like you" Hinata insures. "What makes you say that?" Naruto mumbles bitterly.
"B-because, I think you are a v-very likable person Naruto-kun" Hinata blushes at her miniature confession. Naruto smiles dreamily at her words, which prompted Hinata to continue complimenting him. "And you are strong and funny and handso-" Hinata stopped. At the rate she was going, she would have confessed completely to him. Her face was bright red and she was staring wide-eyed into Naruto's blue eyes.
Naruto wanted her to keep going. He felt his heart beating fast. That's weird...they say your heart beats fast when you're in love but...this…
He was nervous. All these what-if questions swarming his brain.
"I g-got an idea!" Hinata said nervously. She had a plan to confess to Naruto. She hadn't really thought it out that well, but she'll wing it. Since he is already in love with someone else, I'll have to confess. I'm ready for the heartbreak…I… my heart can't break anymore. "W-What's your idea?" Naruto stuttered. Something is wrong with me! What's happening? Why am I so nervous around her?! It's okay, take a deep breath and talk normally...or else she'll think you're a weirdo. Kuso! She probably already thinks I'm a weirdo!
Luckily, Hinata didn't seem to notice Naruto mentally going haywire. "So… you know h-how Valentine's Day is in two days?" Hinata's asks.
Naruto nodded like a zombie. Valentines Day….oh god!
"So I was thinking I could help you make chocolates for that...special person" Hinata offers. But her brain catches up to her voice. Oh...hinata what did you do?! He doesn't want to be around you! Hinata mentality kicked herself. Naruto told you he loves someone else. Now you have to cook with him. It's gonna be super awkward!
Naruto took a few seconds to process what she offered. The more time spent with Hinata the better. He thought. "Yeah! And I can help you cook your chocolates for your valentine!" Naruto offers.
What did you get yourself into Hinata? She asked herself. Then something appeared in her mind. "But Naruto-kun. You are still dating Sakura, if you were to get that other girl chocolate, that would be kinda cheating"
Naruto paused. He had to break up with Sakura. "I'm gonna break up with her….but I don't know how" he admits awkwardly. That same second they heard a knock on the door.
"I'll get it" Naruto gets up and gently twists the knob. Little did he know Sakura was standing on the other side.
Flashback:
Sasuke loves Sakura. Sakura loves Sasuke. But something just didn't work out.
Sasuke isn't good with expressing his feelings. He just wanted to ask Sakura to marry him. But after contemplating it for a while, he came to the conclusion that he wasn't the best fit for her. He was going to be leaving the village in a few years after Naruto becomes Hokage. He didn't want to hurt her more than he already did by leaving the village. She would be better with Naruto.
"Sakura" he said in a monotonous voice.
"Yes, Sasuke-Kun?" Sakura sang putting her head on his shoulder. He just wanted her to stay there. But instead, he gently nudged her off him. "Hn"
She giggled. "I...i need to rebuild my clan," he said calmly- or so it sounded. Inside he was a sweaty hot nervous mess.
Sakura was waiting for this moment her entire life. Her eyes watered.
There was just one problem: Sasuke hasn't decided if he was going to ask her, or tell her she wasn't the one.
She is better off with Naruto. He will take care of her….
"But I don't think you are the right person to...help me" he admitted.
Sakura's expression fell. "What do you mean?..."
Quick, he needed to find an excuse.
"I mean I need to marry someone from a higher, stronger clan, you know, for my children." He said coldly.
Hot tears slid down Sakura's face.
He felt guilty, yes, but it was for her own good. At least that's what he keeps telling himself.
That's when he came up with a plan. There was one girl that would definitely reject him- Hinata Hyuuga. She was obviously not going to even consider Sasuke. She loves Naruto. She is from a wealthy clan, strong, and has Byakugan.
Hinata used her Byakugan to see who knocked on the door. It was Sakura. What if she thinks Naruto is cheating on her? "Naruto-kun!" Hinata called. Naruto turns around. He was curious as to why Hinata called his name so abruptly. "Yeah?"
"Sakura is on the other side of the door" Hinata warned. "Yeah, So?" Naruto asked absentmindedly. "She might think you are cheating on her with me because I'm here"
"Why would she think that? You don't even like me" Naruto blurted.
"That's just how Sakura thinks" she answered. That's how everyone thinks…
Naruto imagined Sakura punching him in the face. He freaked. "Quickly hide!" Naruto whispers.
"There is nowhere to hide."
"Ok then….transform into something…" Naruto resolves.
"A dog! No cat! No mouse!?"
There was another knock on the door.
Hinata quickly put her fingers up into the transformation seal. There was a puff of smoke. When it cleared there was a small dark purple kitten sitting there"
Naruto sighed as he nervously turned the doorknob. He pulled the door open and faced Sakura. "Hey, Sakura-chan! What's up?" Naruto asked."Naruto I got something to tell you"
"I gotta tell you something too" Naruto admits. He wasn't sure if he should tell her he was breaking up with her yet. But he had to tell her before Valentine's Day. He really wants to confess to Hinata that day.
"Come in"
Sakura steps in. She was hesitant about her relationship with Naruto. At first, she was angry at Sasuke. But now she realized that she will always love him. Naruto didn't make her heartthrob like Sasuke. He didn't make her face flush. She never wondered if he was thinking about her. He wasn't like Sasuke to her. She couldn't continue with him knowing she doesn't love him that way.
"You got a cat?" Sakura asks.
"Umm. Yeah, I found her in the streets. She likes ramen" Naruto said picking Hinata up.
"Her name is...Miwi?" Naruto said hesitantly.
"That's so cute!" Sakura cooed.
Once again Hinata felt as if she didn't belong there. She just looked up at Sakura and wiggled her nose- just as a cat would. "So What did you want to tell me?" Naruto asks curiously.
Sakura took a deep breath. She knew she was going to hurt Naruto a lot- or so she thought.
"So Naruto I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm Not in love with you anymore. No. I was never in love with you"
Hinata wasn't sure whether to jump up in happiness, or scratch Sakura for hurting Naruto. He is lucky he is in love with someone else or his heart would be broken.
Naruto was quiet. He looked at Hinata sitting in his lap. He pets her soft fur, she purred happily. "I.." he answers "it's okay Sakura. I understand. I don't think I like you either. In that way...I just thought I did back then because you were in love with Sasuke and I was competing with him." He answered honestly. Sakura's emerald eyes widened, she was relieved and surprised at the same time. "Thank goodnesses." She sighed "I was scared I would break your heart really bad."
'He didn't tell her he was in love with someone else' Hinata thought.
"Sooo," Naruto said. "We kinda just you know broke up?"
"Yeah, I guess" Sakura laughed.
Guys I had to add the sasuke and Sakura thing. I didn't really plan that part out from the beginning but it kinda fit. My goal for this story is... 50 reviews!!!
