Chapter Two
I woke up to the rustling of the trees outside my window, I quickly rushed to the window to see what was there—there was nothing. "Who or what would be up this early in the morning?" I asked myself. I ran back in the warmth of the blanket, at this time in the morning it was awfully cold. It was the day before the Chunin Exams and my mind was restless. The thoughts of what could and what should happen cycled through my mind. Giving up trying to go back to sleep, I stood up and looking out the window. It was almost dawn, the color of the sun whirled into the blue sky creating a peaceful sorbet of colors. "I wonder—I wonder if I have changed at all since we were split up into teams." I asked myself. I couldn't answer—I just simply stared into the glistening marbles of water resting on the tree leaves. I buried myself in thoughts of the future and regrets of the past. "Is this really happiness?" I asked.
I was knocked out of the trance when someone knocked on my door. "Y-You can come in." I said to the person as my door. The door slid open and then my father came in. "Good morning." I said to him—he didn't reply. "I know you would be up this early, the day before the Chunin Exams…you must be quite nervous." he said. I let out a soft sigh and said nothing. He turned around facing the door, "I would like you to try your best—show me how much you've improved." he said. Then he silently exited my room. "I really want to show him what I can do." I said to myself. Full of determination and courage I got dressed, grabbed my bag, and left the house. I started to walk to the usual training ground. I wanted to get there to study more then start training with Kiba, Akamaru, and Shino.
After a few minutes of walking, I reached the city area—the different scents of food filled my lungs. "I haven't eaten breakfast yet." I told myself. I looked around the stands of food and finally decided on some yakisoba for brunch. I continued walking down the street to find Naruto sitting on a bench all by himself. I stopped, seeing that something was bugging him, and sat down next to him. He gave me a cold look then stared at the ground again. "Is something wrong Naruto?" I asked him. He slowly brought his head up and looked at me. "Sakura left the village—she left to find Sasuke." he said. "I'm sorry Na—." I said but I was interrupted. He was hugging me—I could feel the cold, dampness of his tears on my skin. I didn't know what to say…I just sat there. "I—I truly like you Hinata." he said. I didn't react; I just sat there staring into the distance. "Would you forget about Kiba…and start over with me?" he asked. I couldn't say anything; deep-feeling that I thought were long lost emerged in my heart. He looking into my eyes…then came closer. I body jumped, I felt a familiar presence in the air. I turned my head to the left…there stood Kiba. "NARUTO….BACK THE HELL OFF!" he shouted. He started running toward us with his hands barred, ready to pounce. Naruto then stood up, pulling out a kunai, getting ready to attack. They got closer and closer, I stood up—"Stop." I said softly. I then thrust my body forward…hoping that one or both would stop this madness.
