Well since I'm taking one of my rare brakes from Street Fighter IV, I suppose that I should write the next chapter of What Are the Odds. BTW, if any of you know how to unlock Gouken, Seth and Akuma, please contact me because I need help. I've beaten Arcade Mode with all of the characters and I'm stuck. Anyway on with the story.
Koori had a rough night to say the least. He couldn't get back to sleep after that dream he had of Hinata. One thing was for sure, he could not tell Hinata how he truly felt. After he had breakfast, he had a cigarette. He consumed it in little more that a minute. He was just so shaken from the night before. Deciding that he was going to need more cigarettes than usual, he packed a little extra for the day.
"It's gonna be a three pack day" Koori said to himself.
He got to the training grounds to find Hinata already there.
"Koori-San" Hinata said.
"Hey Hyuuga" Koori said with a half-hearted wave.
"What's wrong? You look terrible" Hinata said.
"I couldn't sleep last night" He said.
"Will you be alright?" Hinata asked.
"Don't mind me. I'm fine" Koori reassured.
The day went on and Koori was taking it pretty easy on Hinata. It was time for the lunch break so Koori decided to go to the local bar. He sat on his bar stool and ate, drank, and of course, smoked. His friend Shikamaru came in and took a seat right next to him.
"Hey Koori. Damn man you really smoke that many cigarettes?" He asked Koori eyeing the ash tray nearly full of cigarette butts.
"Yeah, I don't normally smoke this much in one day though" Koori said back.
"Something on your mind I take it? Maybe something to do with Hinata?" Shikamaru hinted.
"What? No!" Koori said while blushing a deep red.
"Yes it is. Look at you. You're blushing six shades of red at the sound of her name" Shikamaru said.
"That's the alcohol" Koori lied.
"Koori, I know you and it takes more than a few shots of sake to get you drunk" Shikamaru said.
"Hmph" Koori said.
"Koori admit it. You are in love" Shikamaru said.
"Ok! I admit it. I love Hinata Hyuuga. Are you happy now!?" Koori shouted.
Shikamaru smiled. "Very" he said.
"Jesus Christ" Koori whispered.
"Now then, when are you gonna tell her this?" Shikamaru questioned.
"Are you kidding me? Never!" Koori said.
"You gotta tell her sometime Koori" Shikamaru said.
"No I don't" Koori retorted.
"It's gonna eat you up inside if you don't man" Shikamaru said.
"Whatever dude. Listen I gotta get back to training her so excuse me" Koori said while getting up and paying for his meal.
"Tell her Takakura" Shikamaru said.
"Mind your own business Nara" Koori said.
By the end of the day, Hinata had learned the final technique from Koori. He was really proud of her and he knew that she would impress Naruto with these jutsus.
"Great job Hyuuga. You've learned them all. I guess you don't need me anymore" Koori said.
"Thank you Koori-San. I'll find a way to repay you someday." Hinata said.
"No need Hinata. Now get outta here" Koori said with a smile.
Hinata began to leaven but Koori stopped her.
"Hey Hinata." Koori said.
"Yes Koori-San?" she questioned.
"Uh- Never mind go on" Koori said and then turned around.
After Hinata left Koori heard a demonic voice coming from Onimaru.
"Child, you missed your chance" Onimaru said.
"What do you mean Onimaru?" Koori asked.
"You just let the perfect mate go by and you didn't say a word" Onimaru said.
"She doesn't like me like that Onimaru. She has eyes for Naruto" Koori said.
"That was your chance of happiness child do you really want to be lonely for the rest of your life?" Onimaru asked.
"Not really but I can't have her" Koori said.
"Don't say that child, you might have her sooner than you think" Onimaru said.
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Koori said but he heard no reply.
He paid Onimaru no mind and went back to training.
Hinata was walking through the village trying to find Naruto. After about fifteen minutes of searching she found a sight that crushed her. She found Naruto and Sakura making out on a park bench. Her eyes welled up with tears. She ran back into the forest crying.
Koori was just finishing up when he heard a noise. He turned around to see Hinata crying and running towards him. She ran right into his arms as she proceeded to cry on his shoulder.
"Hyuuga! What happened?" Koori said.
"N-N-Naruto!" Hinata shouted as she continued to cry.
"What did that bastard do!? You want me to go beat the shit outta him for ya?" Koori asked.
"N-No." Hinata whispered.
"Alright Hyuuga. Don't worry I'm here for ya. Take as long as you need" Koori said to her.
After about ten minutes later Hinata finally calmed down. Koori decided that it was either now or never.
"Listen Hinata. There's something I gotta tell ya. You see ever since you started training you, I began to take a liking to you. At first it was nothing but then it progressed into something else. Now I know that I'm not the most pleasant person to be around but what I'm trying to say is… I love you Hinata Hyuuga. I just can't stop thinking about you. And I would love nothing more than for you to be my girlfriend. That is if you want me to be your boyfriend." Koori said as he looked at the ground ashamed of what he had said.
"Koori-Kun" Hinata whispered.
"Yes Hinata-Chmmph!" Koori couldn't finish because he felt Hinata's lips on his. He couldn't believe this. She was kissing him!
After a minute had passed they finally separated.
"Koori-Kun, I had no idea you felt that way about me! I love you too. At first I didn't know what it was but now I know. It's real love. Not a silly crush that I had on Naruto. Of course I'll be your girlfriend." Hinata said.
They stayed there for a good two hours just watching the stars. When it was finally time to go home, Koori walked her to her house and she gave him a kiss goodnight.
Koori walked home with a big smile on his face. Only one thought was on his mind.
'WOOHOO!' Koori shouted in his mind.
