Hi.
Finally. Exams are finally over! (Woo)
And here is the next chapter of my story.
Enjoy. :)
I DO NOT OWN NARUTO.
"I'm home!" Sasuke shouted as he took off his shoes.
"Welcome home Sasuke sama." greeted their butler, who was waiting for his arrival per usual.
"Saito san, where's Itachi nii?"
"He retired early to his room, Sasuke sama." Tanaka Yui, Itachi's personal maid, said when she descended the last steps of stairs.
Sasuke looked at the maid, worry evident in his dark orbs.
"Is..is he doing okay?"
Yui forced herself to look away when she answered him.
"His health is stable as of now."
"Good. Keep it that way." He ran a hand through his hair. "But please tell me if something is not right."
"I will, Sasuke sama."
"Thank you, Tanaka san."
She gave a curt nod.
"I'm gonna take a shower then."
Both of them bowed when he left.
"Is it wise not to tell the boy, Yui?"
Yui sighed.
"Its for the best Kosei." She answered the butler.
Sakura looked at the dark sky above her. She had just finished her shift at the hospital and was on her way home.
The outdoors was beautiful at night as it was in the morning.
She was walking along the familiar road to her apartment when she remembered something...her empty fridge.
So before going home, she stopped by a local supermarket.
As soon as she entered, Sakura went to the vegetable section.
'Brocoli~ Where are yo- AHA!'
Her hand went to grab the same brocoli as another hand. When they instead got hold of each other's hand, they both turned towards who it was.
"What a surprise! Haruno san!"
Eyes as bright as pearls but something much darker was hiding deep within them.
"Hyuuga san." Sakura nod her head.
"Shopping for groceries?"
"Yes."
Hinata giggled.
"Me too," she said while grabbing a different brocoli "Neji niisan forgot to buy them yesterday so we didn't have breakfast this morning."
"Ah, I see."
"Do you mind any company whilst shopping, Haruno san?"
Sakura stared hard at the girl in front of her. She's very confusing. Seeing as the Hyuuga was still waiting for an answer, she sighed internally.
"Of course not Hyuuga san."
"Did you get everything Haruno san?"
Sakura looked inside both of the plastic bags in her hand and nodded.
"How about you Hyuuga san?"
Hinata peered inside her own.
"Looks like it."
The two girls fell into a comfortable silence as they walked towards their own home.
"Haruno san?" Hinata started.
"Hm?"
"Can I tell you something, if you don't mind."
"Sure."
"Its been bothering for quite a while now and I don't really know who to tell."
"What is it?"
"I think..I think I'm in love"
"Love?" Sakura repeated.
"I know it sounds silly but have you ever stopped for a while to think about what it really means? How it actually feels to be in love?"
Hinata sighed dreamily.
"I think I'm in love because whenever I look at him, nothing else matters. His smile, his laugh, everything about him makes my heart beat faster."
"..do you have someone you love?"
Sakura's steps became slower until she eventually stopped. Hinata was a few steps away when she noticed that the pinkette was not beside her.
The black haired girl also stopped and turned to Sakura, who had her eyes closed.
The wind blew their hair, making them dance around. Hinata cupped her hand on her face to prevent the black strands from obscuring her vision.
Even under the moonlight, the pink haired girl's beauty was undeniable. Thick lashes brushed against her high cheeckbones before she opened those bright green orbs to look at her lavender colored ones.
Hinata was taken aback at the amount of emotion she heard in the answer given by the usual monotone voice.
"Yes."
Images of a tall woman with blond hair and a man with a goofy smile flashed before her mind.
"Why are you so surprised, Hyuuga san?" Sakura asked, voice back to its dead tone "Even I am capable of loving."
Without waiting for an answer, the pinkette went ahead, leaving Hinata to watch her go.
'Why do I feel like I messed with something that I wasn't suppose to?' Hinata thought.
"Hey..Naruto?"
Said blond paused the video he was watching on his laptop and turned to look at his cousin. Her back was turned to him so he can't tell what she's thinking.
Odd.
Its not everyday that she calls him by his given name. It was usually 'idiot'. So this must be serious.
"What's up?"
"...why are you so interested in Haruno san?"
"W-what are you talking a-about?" He was not prepared for that question.
"Don't play dumb. I see how you look at her."
"I d-don't know what you're talking about." He denied.
"Of course you don't." She replied sarcastically.
He raked a hand through his hair and contemplated whether to tell her or not.
He sighed.
"Well, I may have a little..crush..on..her.." Naruto coughed awkwardly as his words became a mumble at the end.
He waited for the teasing that was to come his way. But when minutes went by and not a single word came from Karin, he became a bit worried.
"Hey Karin, you okay? Why did you ask that anyways?"
"Then, how about Hinata?" She said completely ignoring his question.
"Hinata? What about her?"
"How do you feel about her?"
"Well she's a great friend."
"Just a friend huh?" Karin whispered under her breath.
"Oi."
Karin finally looked away from the TV screen and she came face-to-face with the handsome blond.
"Don't give up."
Her eyes widen and a tear fell down her cheek and she smiled.
"Idiot."
That's it for this chapter.
More about the accident in the next chapter..or was it the next next chapter. Well stick around to know.
Thanks for reading.
