Chapter 3: Fate? Or Coincidence?
Someone was knocking on Hinata's door. "Hello?" She asked.
"Surprise!" Lili, Maruya and Asuka shouted.
"Guys! How did you get here?" She was curious.
"The same way you did." Lili said.
"You convinced Yuen-sama to make you come?"
"Pretty much." Asuka answered.
"I want to show you the town. Come on!" Hinata took their arms. Asuka, however, walked alone.
After a while of touring, Hinata suddenly stopped dead.
"Uchiha-san?" She asked, unsure.
"Hn." He replied.
"What are you doing here?" She asked quietly. Asuka could see clearly the extremely faint blush Hinata gave off.
"I've decided to come back." Was all he said before walking into the Hokage's office.
"I have to go there too." Hinata said, and the girls followed her.
"Suit yourself." He nodded.
"Who is he?" Lili asked Asuka.
"How am I supposed to know?!" She replied incredulously.
"I don't know…" Lili trailed off while Maruya rolled her eyes.
"I totally agree with you, cousin…" Asuka whispered to Maruya.
"It's about time." She deadpanned.
"I know, eh?" Lili shouted.
Hokage's Office…
"Uchiha-san!" Tsunade exclaimed, shocked.
"Hokage-sama." He bowed.
"Why are you here?" She eyed him suspiciously.
"I wish to rejoin this village. I have completed my goals." He remained in a bow.
"… Very well… Hinata!" She exclaimed, smiling.
"Hokage-sama." She nodded.
"Why are you here?" She asked her.
"Hoshigakure wishes to make ties with you." She said simply. "My friends here are part of the agreement."
"…Fine." She leaned back into her chair. "Now leave me alone and let me get back to my sake." She waved them off.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama." She walked off.
"Hinata-san?" A blonde boy asked (guess who!).
"Yes, Naruto-kun, I'm back." She nodded.
"Sakura-san! Look who's back! Dattebayo!" He called to a pink haired girl.
"Hinata-sama… Sasuke…kun?" She looked off into the distance. Indeed, there he was, a few meters behind Hinata. She ran to him, but he pushed her away.
"Hn. Naruto-dobe, how are you?" He drawled.
"Sasuke-teme…' Naruto trailed off.
"Hn." He walked off.
"Aren't you going to say something?" He asked.
"…No." Sasuke replied, disappearing.
"Ja, Naruto-kun." Hinata replied, swiftly making handseals.
"Who was he?" Lili asked.
"Who?" Hinata replied.
"The blonde."
"His name is Naruto, and he dreams to become Hokage one day. I used to like him." Hinata said.
"Oohh, Hina-chan liked him!" Lili chanted. Asuka whacked her over the head.
"She said she used to, idiot." Asuka sighed.
"Oh. I knew that." Lili nodded.
"Let's just take a nap." Maruya suggested.
"Stay away from my bag." Asuka threatened.
"Come on, I need a nap." Hinata cut in.
"Okay." The others nodded.
Sorry if I made Sasuke a bit OOC… Next up: The girls meet Sai!
