Chapter 12:

Rina's View of Things

Rina wasn't surprised when Sakura left in the middle of 1st period. She had never seen her like this. She never thought something or someone like Sasuke could…could do this much damage.

Before Sakura let Rina help her clean up her face. She had smeared eye liner and mascara. A pink, boogery nose and her eyes were pink and puffy. Her expression was empty and helpless. Just over all depressed. Rina didn't think anything could defeat Sakura so deeply.

The vibe Sakura always gave off was invincible. No one ever thought she could be in this state and certainly not over love. Well, any thing can happen I guess.

Sasuke looked even worse. His eyes were filled with sadness and something that looked like shame. Rina couldn't be sure about that thought; she only got a glimpse of his eyes when he left during lunch. His left eye was surrounded with black, blue and purple. When he got up he had his arm wrapped around his torso, as if to stop a broken rib from stabbing him. He walked with a limp. He slumped and looked, same as Sakura, depressed.

"Hey, do you know what's going on between those three?" Kiba said as he approached Rina. He looked very puzzled.

"No, and I'm in no position to find out." Rina looked up at Kiba. He usually never talks to me. She looked around her and noticed everyone had left for lunch. Speaking of which, she was getting pretty hungry.

"But you can't help but be curious right?" Either Kiba was making an attempt to flirt or he wanted something from Rina.

"Well, yes, but what do you care what I'm curious about?" Rina was getting suspicious.

"I was wondering if you ….." He trailed off.

"Yes?" Rina asked interested.

"Wanted to go and get some lunch with me and maybe tell me what happened." Kiba was getting shy and blushing.

"Sure, as long as you pay. I'll tell you all I know." Rina got up and grabbed her bag. She turned her attention to Kiba. He was waiting for her at the door.

Kiba owned a black PT Cruiser. Nice and very new looking. The ride to…wherever was long and silent. Rina tried to put on some music, but Kiba turned it off immediately after.

Rina gave him a questioning look.

"I don't like much music." He replied to her expression. He looked like he meant it too.

"How do you not like music? It's the only thing that keeps me sane." Rina stared out the passenger window.

"I don't know. It's one of the things that drives me insane." He said stressing on the word insane.

"One of them. What else drives you insane?" Rina asked playfully.

"Well, to start off, you and to end music."

"No, I mean some of them I don't already know."

"Too late. We're here, and now it's my turn to question. I hope you like lots of green leaves." Kiba smirked.

"Crud. Okay, all I eat are green leaves." Rina got out and walked up to this very nice looking vegetarian restaurant. Kiba jumped out and walked next to Rina (very closely might I add.)

The inside was very expensive looking. Tile walls, carpet floor, table cloths, the deal.

Why did he bring me to this restaurant when there are ones under one hundred dollars? She thought.

"Before you start to question me so all the poisonous pink covered things get the gossip they want, why did you bring me here?" Rina asked feeling very out of place.

"Don't worry I said I would pay for it, and it's not too rich for my blood." He said as he patted Rina on the back.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Rina asked offensively.

"What's what supposed to mean?" Kiba obviously not knowing what he said.

"Never mind. Can we get some food already?" She asked the waitress very annoyed.

They ordered their food and after they took a few bites, Rina burst with rage.

"ARE YOU GOING TO QUESTION ME OR NOT?!" she paused. "WE'VE BEEN SITTING HERE FOR 30 MINUTES AND THE ONLY THING I'VE HEARD IS YOU'RE SAVAGE CHEWING." Rina scream and stood up.

"Miss, if you wouldn't mind lowering you're voice." A high-class waiter asked.

"Do you really think I would take you out to a nice restaurant just so I could ask you a few questions for the 'poisonous pink covered things'?" Kiba quoted.

"But why didn't you just ask me instead of sounding think a gossip hungry jerk?" she asked still angry.

"Umm….can we talk outside?" he asked feeling everyone's eyes.

Rina grabbed his hand and dragged him out. She threw him against the wall still having the adrenaline pumping through her blood. She couldn't wait to hear his answer.
