Chapter 4

The group walked out the door and down the streets. It was plain to see who was going with whom. Naruto and Sakura were having an argument about how close Naruto could get, Ino and kiba were laughing at some joke, Neji and ten ten were discussing something, and her and Sasuke just walked next to each other in the back.

Hinata gave a glance at Naruto. She could tell he was happy. His eyes seem to twinkle when Sakura smiled. Hinata couldn't help but be happy for him, but a frown still played on her lips. She was a bit jealous. She looked back to the front of the group. She played her bracelet. She pulled it up and it snapped back down making a soft clicking sound. She couldn't help but wonder what would happen if she had asked Naruto. She gave another glance at him. He'd be laughing with her and have his arm around her. Hinata could feel her cheeks grow a little red with the thought.

"You like him, don't you?" A deep voice answered. She had forgotten Sasuke was walking with her. "O-oh, um… w-what do you m-mean?" She gave a fake smile. "Why didn't you ask him to go to the dance?" Hinata looked at her feet. She asked herself that question one too many times. "W-well...you see….W-why does it concern you?" Sasuke signed.

"Hinata!" Ino shouted. Hinata focused her attention on her friend. "Look!" She pointed at the sky in front of them. A huge fairis wheel lit the sky. "Now that's a light show" Kiba answered and a little bark from Akamaru. "That's pretty don't you think, Sakura?" Hinata couldn't help but look away. Unfortunately, when she turned to the side she knocked into Sasuke. She flet herself bump into someone and looked up. "Oh S-Sorry, Sasuke-san" She said with her cheeks a tint of pink. "Um…. Just watch where your going"

Hinata nodded then heard slight giggles. Then she felt a hand pull her. She looked it wsa Sakura and ino. "We saw that Hinata" Ino smiled. "S-saw what?" Sakura looked toward Sasuke. "We saw you bump into Sasuke-kun" Ino lifted her hand off hinata. "So…." She was answered by more giggles. "Oh hinata, Sasuke so much better then Naruto" Ino said giving a look at Naruto who was laughing with kiba. "Huh? No he-" She didn't finish before ino interrupted her. "Let's just get back to the festival" Ino and Hinata nodded. Sakura and ino went back to there dates. She went back to quietly walking next to Sasuke.

Sasuke glanced her way. Hinata noticed but looked at her bracelet again. "Come on everybody let's go!" Naruto yelled. "So Neji, want to try that stand?" Ten ten asked. "Sure why not?" Ten ten dragged him away. "Come on, Kiba" Ino and kiba left. "Naruto! Not that ride" Sakura yelled. "Just come on" Naruto pulled of Sakura.

Hinata and Sasuke were the only ones left. "Come on" He said. Hinata nodded and followed him through the stands. There were plenty of games and food. Sasuke had won a few and was nice enough to give her the prize. She just blushed and stuttered a thank you. "Hinata…." She looked up. "Yes?" Sasuke nodded in front of them. There was Naruto and Sakura. Sakura was holding a huge teddy bear. "Oh hey Hinata!" Naruto shouted.

Hinata felt her cheeks burn again. "H-Hi Naruto-kun" Sakura peaked her head above the teddy bear. "Oh hey guys" Sasuke gave a bored wave. "Sakura, want me to hold that?" Sakura gave Naruto a glare. "You don't think I can hold it my self?" Hinata listened to there little fight. "Hinata, you know you wanted to come her with him" Hinata looked at Sasuke. "n-no, I asked you" She replied. Sasuke gave a sign. "Whatever…."

"I-I didn't mean it like that!! Sakura-chan!" Sakura had her arms crossed. "Hey Sakura, Come here" Sasuke started walking off giving a glance to Hinata. Sakura smiled. "Oh sure Sasuke-kun" Sakura trotted off with Sasuke.

"There goes Sasuke, being a jerk again" Naruto crossed his arms. Hinata gave a faint 'yeah' and looked at the ground. "So, Hinata how have you been?" Hinata looked up. "Oh…ummm…f-fine" Naruto gave a laugh. "Yeah Sasuke's like that" Sakura and Sasuke came back. "Naruto, hold this" She shoved the teddy bear into Naruto's arms. "Naruto, can you keep Hinata company for awhile? I have to help Sasuke fine something" Naruto signed. "Fine" Hinata looked at Sasuke. He had a bored face on.

Sakura and Sasuke walked back into the mess of lights. "So hinata…." Naruto looked up. "want to go on the fairs wheel?" He point to the huge wheel. "S-sure" Naruto smiled and grabbed her hand and pulled her toward the line. It was a bit long. So Naruto entertained the both of them with his funny jokes. Hinata laughed and was feeling very special. She would have to give Sasuke a thank you."
