Chapter 2

Hinata really needed to tell someone or at least ask for advice but all her friends were also Itachi's friends. Her phones buzz shocked her out of her daze. The name on the screen was Ino's.

"Hey I-ino"

"Hey Hinata! Sorry I was so drunk, how are you feeling? Hungover at all" Hinata smiled to herself, glad that things ended well with her and Ino.

She decided to spill her guts and tell Ino everything about Itachi.

At the end of it, she realised she spoke without stuttering even once which was amazing.

Ino laughed at Hinata trying to catch her breathe after speaking so quickly. She told Hinata to wait 5 minutes and she'll come over so they can talk in person.

This was the first proper female friend she's had, well besides Konan but Konans really considered to be one of the male figures even in their friendship circle, she was just everyones girl crush cause she's so chill and cool.

Hinata was excited. In movies you always see girls having sleepovers and talking about their crushes. Hinata hurriedly ran to kitchen to gather snacks and 2 cups and a bottle of soda. She waited patiently till there was a loud knock from downstairs.

The girls started eating and chatting. Hinata asked about Ino and Kiba as she saw them making out at the party. Ino blushed remember the embarrassing kiss that night.

"I was so drunk I didn't realise but after the party Kiba asked me out on a date…"

Now Ino was fidgeting with her fingers like Hinata use to. The Hyuga thought her friend was adorable like this, she's never seen these sides of Ino before, makes her feel a lot closer to the blonde.

"And? What did you say?!" Hinata was so excited, she didn't know why. This wasn't even her love story yet she was so excited and invested.

"Well…. I mean he's cute so I said yes but BUT I don't like him or anything…."

Hinata laughed at her friend in denial.

"Oh Hina, what about you and Itachi. Why don't you think he'll like you back? You're perfect and anyone can see how caring and protectie Itachi and everyone is towards you."

Ino was genuinely curious since she has seen how Itachi treated Hinata and how he looks at her. Call if intuition but Ino was probably 95% sure that Itachi liked her cute friend here.

"You.. you see, all our friends told me that Itachi is o-one of the most popular guys in the group. Hidan is even jelous of all the c-college girls that hit on Itachi. I-I don't stand a chance. Those girls are so pretty a-and I'm so .. plain."

Hinata looked so defeated, Ino leaned over and embraced her sad friend. "Aww Hina, that's not true. There must be a reason why Itachi didn't date those college girls. You know him better than me but I feel like he's not a shallow person. Even if he was, you are one of the prettiest girls out there. I'll let you in on this, Sakura really hated you because she was jealous of how pretty you were. So have some faith in yourself."

Hinata feels a small flame of hope ignite in her chest. "R-really? But what if he r-rejects me?" the Hyuga looked up at Ino who laughed at her innocent friend.

"Who care! You have to try before you quit. If he rejects you then oh well, but if he doesn't you two can date happily! If you don't you will regret it forever"

Hinata thought carefully about her friends words, theoretically they made sense but that doesn't calm her nerves. She's doesn't even know how to flirt or make some one like her. Naruto is proof shes pretty hopeless.

"C-can you help me Ino? I don't know how to.. or what to… I also want to uhm update my c-closet a little" she chuckled shyly thinking about her clothes from year 8 that was still sitting there. Most of her wearable clothes were bought by the Akatsuki guys but theres only a handful.

Ino was over the moon excited! Who doesn't want to give their friend a makeover.

"YES OF COURSE! I'D LOVE TO!"

The girls headed to the mall after finishing the snacks and talking more about their crushes.

Monday came earlier than expected, and Hinata and Ino put their plan into action. After shopping that day, Ino decided to stay over at Hinata's and the girls came up with a plan.

Lets call it "THE SEDUCTION OF ITACHI" the plans name makes Hinata blush like crazy but it was what she was trying to do essentially.

Her and Ino walked to school excitedly. Hinata was bubbling wth excitement and butterflies. Now that she's realised her crush for Itachi, she can't even think about him without blushing, worried about how she's going to act when she sees him at break.

Hinata tried a little harder than usual with her outfit and makeup but was still herself. Ino helped her pick out an outfit, she was wearing a tight grey v-neck t-shirt tucked into high waisted white short shorts and finished the look with a pair of brown dr Marten boots. She looked casual yet cute, just right. She felt pretty exposed by her t-shirt. It was pretty casual but perfectly hugged her figure showing off her chest. She did feel pretty.

Entering her first class of the day and the smile disappeared from her face, sitting in the corner was Sasuke, the guy that called her disgusting. His cheek was bruised and lip busted from Itachi's punch earlier. Hinata felt bad that he got hit because of her but she was also very ecstatic that Itachi would stick up for her and even punch his brother. Sasuke threw her a dirty glare and looked the other direction. She decided to sit right at the front, the further away from him the better.

The hyuga kept checking the time hoping lunch would come sooner so she could see Itachi.
