Hinata's eyelids fluttered before opening. She was staring at the ceiling of the nurse's office.
She heard a whisper. "Hey, I think she's waking up," Kiba and Akamaru's faces appeared over hers.
"Yeah, she's up," Kiba said. He grinned. "That was a mighty, big shock you must've got. You okay now?"
"Y-yeah," She said, sitting up. What shock? She wondered. Then, it all came back to her. Sakura, Ino, her name on the list of nominees for homecoming queen...
Kiba, Shino and Kurenai were sitting in hard, plastic chairs dragged up to her bedside.
"W-what time is it?" She asked.
"It's training period right now," Shino said.
So that means I've only been out for about half an hour. Hinata thought. I hope Kurenai wasn't planning anything special today.
"Kiba, Shino," Kurenai said. "Go ready the targets in the training area,"
Kiba and Shino stood up. "Yes, ma'am," They ran out the door with Akamaru in tow.
Hinata twisted the sheet in her hand. Kurenai must be angry at me for delaying the team.
"Hinata," Kurenai said slowly.
"Y-yes?" She answered.
"You nominated Naruto for homecoming king, right?"
Hinata felt the blood drain from her face. She felt like she would faint again.
Kurenai chuckled. "Relax, I won't tell anyone. I was just curious,"
Hinata looked down at the sheets and crinkled them in her hands. "Yes, I nominated him" she whispered softly. "B-but how did you know?"
An amused smile spread across Kurenai's face. "Well, someone has to count the ballots, right?"
"Does anyone else know?" Hinata asked urgently.
"Just Asuma but don't worry. He wouldn't tell anyone,"
"A-are you sure?"
Kurenai smiled. "Positive," Hinata let out a small sigh of relief
"Just curious, why is it such a big deal?"
Hinata's hands tightened around the sheets.
"Whatever," Kurenai said. "Anyway, you feeling okay now? We should start training,"
Hinata nodded. "Yes!"
Author's Note: Yes, this chapter was bad, unnecessary and/or boring. It's too bad I don't care.
But do not worry! It will get better. I promise. I hope.
