A/N: Okay, first off, I just have a lot of things to clear up. One: If you noticed in this chapter, I changed the P.O.V format. No more Ino or Hinata's P.O.V or whatever. It'll be pretty obvious to who it's directed at. Next, Hinata ran away from the wedding two months ago. So Naruto and Hinata got married in May. The current month is July. And yeah, I know. Hinata's recovery from the incident went a bit too fast I think, but hey, it's my story so please don'task me about that. I'm kinda stressed over the whole thing already. I'm so sorry for sounding rude, but I really have a lot of HW to do and I tried fitting in some time to finish this short chapter. Forgive me Minna-san.

Warning: Grammatical errors and a bunch of jumbled up words. Sorry bout that.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but I do wish I owned Hinata…


Chapter 10: Okay

"Tell me!"

"I don't want to!"

"Why not!"

"I said I don't want to, so I don't want to! Now can you please get off me?" Hinata cried. She struggled desperately to free herself of our locked position together.

The kunoichi lay sprawled over the bed, her legs entangling themselves in the white sheets. My knees rested beside her thighs, locking them together, and my hands pinned down her wrists firmly. I hovered above her, breathing hard. From another's point of view, this situation would most likely be mistaken …as something else.

"Hinata," I said sweetly through gritted teeth, "it's not that difficult. All you have to do is tell me what happened between you and Sasuke, so…tell me already will ya!"

"No!"

"Tell me!"

"Why not!" I cried exasperated.

This conversation was going nowhere.

"B-because…"

"Hm?" My ears perked up at this. Or maybe it was. "Because what?"

"Because…it's embarrassing," she mumbled turning her head away from my stare. Her face was red. Not that it was unusual or anything.

"Hinata…"

"W-what is it?" She averted her eyes to the side to look up at me, but still kept her head turned away.

"You are so adorable!" I couldn't help but squeal and resist the urge to hug her.

"I-Ino…I c-can't…"her voice trailed off.

"Oops, sorry!" I immediately released her.

She held lightly onto her neck, trying to catch her breath. I sat on my legs, waiting for her to finish. When she did, she made a dash for the bedroom door, but I pounced on her the second her hand touched the knob.

"Okay, fine then! I'll tell you." The indigo-haired woman gave a sigh of defeat while I raised my arm in triumph.

And so, Hinata began her story.


An hour later.

"Naruto is so jealous."

"J-jealous?" Was it just me, or did it sound like Ino just stated that? "What makes you think that?"

"Well, let's see. First off, you threw a bouquet at him, which I had to say was very cool, and left him standing there for like what? Three hours or something? Then, he hooks up with Sakura. Next thing you know, he sees is ex kissing another guy."

"But why would he be jealous if he already has Sakura-san?" I asked. Ino heaved a sigh.

"Don't you see Hinata? Men think waaaaay differently than women do. In this case, Naruto had expected you to still be upset and heartbroken about the incident. He feels guilty and decides to apologize after two months, for-god-knows-what-reason and sees you with Sasuke. Get it?"

I pondered on this for a minute. "No."

"FOR GOD'S SAKE, HE'S JUST JEALOUS AND PROBABLY WANTS YOU BACK!"

I felt as though I had shrunken ten times my size. Ino took note of my fear and began taking deep breaths. "Calm down, calm down…"she told herself repeatedly. When she finally did, I grew back to my normal size. "Anyways Hinata, I want you to listen to me. If getting you back is Naruto's goal, no matter what the circumstances, do not go back to him. Got it? He broke your heart once, he'll break it again." She placed her hands on my shoulders firmly. "No matter what."

I stared at her as though she were insane. I gently removed her hands. "You won't have to worry Ino because…I have no intention of ever going back."


I screwed up. I really, really, really, REALLY screwed up.

I threw myself upon my bed, lying down on my back. "You screwed up BIG time Uchiha." Turning around on my side, I stared out the window, heaving a sigh. The moon shone beautifully in the sky, casting thin beams of light into my bedroom. I shivered, pulling out the blanket from beneath me and draping it over myself. The room remained cold as usual, even if I did shut the window.

Now she's never gonna agree to that date with me. It seemed as though a wave of depression had taken over me. I bet she even threw out that ribbon I gave her. And it would've looked so nice on her too…

My thoughts were then interrupted by a loud ringing. It came from the wireless-phone in the living room. I decided to ignore it by snuggling deeper into the abyss of my depression, but to no avail, that didn't work. It rang about fifty times, which annoyed the hell out of me. I got up and stomped over to the bedroom door and out into the living room, picking up the phone in a violent manner.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TIME IT-" I was cut off by the voice on the other end.

"Don't leave a person waiting like that Sasuke. It's rude to the caller." I froze.

"I-Ino?"

"No, I'm the Hokage," she stated sarcastically. "Who else would it be?"

"Oh. What do you want? You're done chasing me right? Cause I heard that you already have a boyfriend."

"Don't get too full of yourself Sasuke dear. I was chasing you. And yes, I do have a boyfriend," she replied.

"Then what're you calling this late for? Shouldn't you be with him?" I asked coldly, hoping she would see that calling me at this time of night was like asking to be taken away by death.

"Ah, you're still the same as ever. I liked you better when you had bumped into me when I was on the way home. You were kind of nice, or gentle…something like that. That was the first time I ever saw that side of you."

"I'm just going to hang up on you right now, Yamanaka-san."

"Also, I do remember you grabbing onto me. You were gonna say something, were you not? Uchiha-san." The sound of her voice gave away the fact that she was smirking on the other side. I clenched my fists at this.

"That…that was nothing."

"Oh really? Well then, I guess I'll have to tell Hinata that you don't want to talk to her. Later Uchi-"

"Wait!" There was silence on the other end. My god…that was... I sounded desperate just now. I mentally slapped myself for my action. I then heard a click and soft breathing.

"H-Hello?"

It's Hinata! "Th-this is Sasuke," I answered back firmly, though my voice was firm, my legs felt wobbly.

"Ah, Uchiha-san. I…I wanted to apologize for what happened earlier."

"I-iie, it's fine. I deserved that anyway." I think.

"No! It's not just about when I hit you earlier, but um…I also want to apologize for not giving you an answer to your invitation yet." She sounded so distant.

"Oh um…well that is…"

"I would love to go with you."

"You don't have to worry…"Wait. "What?" I asked, hoping that I had heard her correctly.

"She said she'll go with you on your gay picnic already so come and pick her up tomorrow morning, ten o-clock sharp," came Ino's voice. There was a click.

She hung up on me.


A/N: Thanks to everyone for the really great reviews. Honestly, they made me happy. It's because of everyone that I was able to come out of my writer's block and get back on track. I made this chapter short on purpose, so don't tell me I have to make it longer. Ja ne Minna-san!
