Who Knew-
Who knew that such a simple deed as this would cause such an uproar, in the quiet village of Konoha.
It wasn't what she wanted but if you happened upon his fan club, they all seem to think that she had planned this.
Really, if she wanted this to happen to her she would have prefer Naruto, she would even be happy with someone like Kiba or maybe even Neji…anyone but the stoic Uchiha Sasuke.
She now wished that she would have listened to that small voice in the back of her head and stayed in bed. It told her that today was not going to be a good day.
Hinata sighed, today was so not a good day.
It began with her waking up thirty minutes late.
She was supposed to be helping Kurenai with a flower arranging class that morning at the academy. And even though Kurenai wasn't upset, Hinata couldn't help but scold herself mentally, what kind of an example was she setting for the younger generation of kunoichi.
Then during the class she somehow got lost in her thoughts, scolding herself again about being ten minutes late and lost track of her students. They had somehow gotten into some poison ivy, Hinata sighed, how could they not know the difference?
And now that she thought about it, it seems that her students were distracted at the time she and Kurenai had shown them what it looked like and explained why to stay away from it.
And the distraction was Uchiha Sasuke, which she didn't know at the time. The more that she thought about it the more that it made sense; she could vaguely remember seeing him jogging nearby followed by some ogling and giggling from the class of future kunoichi.
By the great one, Hinata now thought, they were only eight, nine at the most and Sasuke was what- eighteen!
She sighed again.
Who would have thought that the 'smoke' capsule that she confiscated from the boys, caught skipping their class, after escorting the girls to the nurse's office, would have caused this much trouble.
Who would have thought that instead of 'smoke' the capsule contained something altogether different?
It was not until her and Sasuke bumped into each other while turning the corner that she found out what was in the 'smoke' capsule.
The more she thought about it the more she realized that it was her fault; she wasn't paying attention to her surroundings, she just wanted to hurry back to help Kurenai with the remainder of the class then… wham…she had hit something that was tall, wearing a black shirt and that grunted.
Needless to say Hinata was caught by surprise.
And because she was surprised and hesitated just a second to long, Hinata then found herself falling backwards, she suddenly couldn't remember if she made a sound as she began her ungraceful downward fall.
She frowned as she tried to remember…she probably did.
But after she had braced for the impacted, something had grabbed her hands and stopped her descent and suddenly she was jerked up.
Then she remembered looking up so that she could apologize for her clumsiness and she froze.
It was Uchiha Sasuke that she ran into.
She also noticed that at the time his frown contained more wrinkles on his brow than say what was considered 'normal'.
After a few seconds of trying to find her voice, Uchiha had finally told her to watch where she was going after all what kind of kunoichi was she that she didn't pay attention to her surrounds.
At the time she was stunned and wanted to run away from him right then but now that she thought about it he ran into her too.
She glared at the back of his head, so what kind of shinobi did that make him?
She then sighed once again; what ever he was, she did not have a death wish and would not ask him.
Although from the glares that she now felt from every fan 'person', she was sure that her death might happen, one way or another.
She looked down at her left hand and what it was holding, then sighed again for the fourth time.
She recalled after he had 'saved' her from her fall and was kind enough to give her some 'advice', they tried to go their separate ways only to find out that their hands were stuck together; his right in her left.
After trying unsuccessfully to pry them apart, they…well more like she decided that they needed to go to the hospital and he decided that they needed to go to the academy to find someone who was good at making these and seeing if they had a solution or something to 'un-stick' their hands.
Of course she was not going to argue with him, so they went to the academy first only to find that the one sensi that could tell them what type of glue it was and how to dissolve its adhesives was away on a mission.
To say that the Uchiha was upset was an understatement. Hinata can remember thinking that she saw a few more wrinkles appear on his forehead at that moment.
Afterwards they quietly and quickly, made their way to the hospital on the other side of the village and again luck was not on their side; no one there seemed to know what to do about their situation.
They were told to see the Hokage that she might know about it.
So now they were on their way to see her, again, on the other side of the village.
She didn't need to activate her Byakugan to see everyone staring, and she even though she's always had extremely good hearing she didn't need to use it to hear all the snide comments made about her.
And now Hinata wished that she knew a jutsu that made her invisible.
Holding hands with Uchiha Sasuke was definitely not the pinnacle of this day or would it be for any other day for her.
Something orange suddenly jolted her out of her thoughts, and said orange object was coming towards them.
Naruto.
Naruto was running towards them.
No.
Naruto was going to see her holding hands with him.
She just wanted this day to be over with already.
"Oi…Sasuke-teme, where were you? Sakura and I…um…why are you holding hands with Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked loudly, causing more unwanted attention towards them, as she tried to hide behind Sasuke.
"That…Dolt is none of your business!" Sasuke hissed venomously and she felt his grip on her hand tighten.
She looked at his face and noticed yet another wrinkle appear in his frown.
She had to do something. This was not good.
"Ah… sorry, N- Naruto but U-Uchiha-san and I must be going, the Hokage needed to see us about something a- and…um…"she was stumped, she couldn't think of what to say to him.
And to top it off, she could swear she felt the presence of nearly his entire fan club lurking in the shadows, waiting to hear why she was holding his hand too.
She could feel the tears prickling in her eyes.
She then heard Sasuke "It's about something important…No," he held up his free hand to keep Naruto from interrupting him"… I don't know what it's about and if we get into trouble for being late, because of you, you can bet that I'll make sure you regret it later."
Naruto seemed to be thinking about what Sasuke said, and then it seemed that a mental light had clicked on but then burnt out and he scratched the back of his head. "Oh…but I still don't see why you and Hinata-chan need to…"
Hinata, as well as everyone within a 5 mile radius, could feel the murderous vive that Sasuke was directing toward Naruto as his eyes flashed crimson, well everyone but Naruto.
She had to stop this, and she would swallow her pride if need be.
"Um, N-Na-Naruto…U-Uchiha-san is only h- holding my hand because he said that we needed to be quick and since I am not that fast, I asked him if he would hold my hand and not to let go…um…he was…" she abruptly stopped as she felt Sasuke pulling her away from a still confused Naruto and the gathering crowd.
"That's enough, Hinata-san; we're going to be late."
They silently arrived at the Hokage's office and were told to wait in the lobby because she was still in an important meeting.
After five minutes of quietly staring at the ground ahead she could feel another pair of eyes upon her but this time it held no malicious for her. She slowly looked up to find that Sasuke was watching her.
She decided to ignore it, but could only do so for about another minute.
"U- Uchiha-san is there something wrong?"
"Hn…"
She raised her brows and looked at him waiting for him to say something but he didn't.
She glanced at him once more before returning her glaze to the floor. If he wanted to stare, so be it, then the thirty second silence was broken.
"That was stupid, Hyuuga Hinata-san, why would you degrade yourself in front of others like that?" Sasuke simply asked.
Hinata was shocked, was that why he pulled them away at the last minute? She didn't know what to say, if he did, then the Uchiha Sasuke that she thought she knew was not the person he was.
She realized that she never really gave him a chance. She was always scared to talk to him because he was always frowning and bickering with Naruto.
Hinata then smiled.
She suddenly had the urge to get to know this Uchiha Sasuke better, not the one drawn together by the rumors and stories that others of the village and her friends, but the man sitting beside her, glued to her hand.
She wanted to give him a chance, to become friends with this person.
And she would start today.
"U- Uchiha-san…Thank you and I'm sorry…" She whispered.
She watched as his frown disappeared for a split second, confusion sitting in, then it was gone and the frown was back but with out so many wrinkles on his forehead.
She could see that he was about to ask her what she meant but she stopped him with a squeeze of her left hand.
"Um…Uchiha-san, I was wondering if you weren't busy sometime, if you would like to practice sparing with me?" Hinata froze, again for the third time that day.
Why did she ask him that? Surely he would say no; why would he want to spare with her, did he not just tell her earlier that she was not a very good kunoichi?
"Hn…alright, how about tomorrow afternoon?"
She smiled again and then nodded to him as the doors to the Hokage's office opened.
"Uchiha-san, Hyuuga-san, she will see you now."
As they walked into her office and Tsunade's look of shock spread across her face at the picture they painted.
Perhaps this day was not such a bad day after all.
Who knew-and to think that it started off so badly.
