Me: This is the third part of my 3 part one day update!
Readers: That still doesn't make up for the short chapters
Me:-cries in my small corner-I know...Oh!-jumps up in an excited fashion-We have finally reached the pasted halfway mark! There are less than 10 chapters left in this story (I already have the basis planned out for the ending-evil smile-) So I hope that everyone has enjoyed Behind The Barriers so far! Yay pasted halyway point!
Chapter 16 In a world that she can't rise above…
Normal P.O.V.
Hinata runs all the way home after she bravely kisses Sasuke. And Sasuke walks home feeling happy, yet extremely worried about Hinata at the same time. Luckily, Hinata's Mother is not home when she gets there, and Hinata manages to return to her own room safe and sound. Although, she does not see the dark figure that lurks in the shadows behind.
Few Days Later
Life for Hinata is great. She has spent more time with Sasuke, along with everyone else too, and her mother has not come home for the past week. Hinata is living what she considers a normal life, and has gained a strong bond with all of her friends. But the main reason why she is so happy is that Sasuke had not been mad at her for kissing him. On the contrary, he very much enjoyed her small confession, and had given her many more kisses from then on. Hinata thinks that her life can't get any better; too bad that feeling won't last long.
Sasuke is greatly enjoying his time with Hinata. The day after she had kissed him, he had walked up to her and given her a kiss of his own. Of course, she blushed and almost fainted from surprise, but she manages to still make the best of her time.
After that, they start seeing each other more and more, until their friends start going as far as saying that their get together's are dates. Sasuke had a field day beating the living daylights out of Naruto, all the while wearing a deep blush, with Hinata trying to stop him. Though, he could have sworn that she enjoyed it almost as much as he did from the hidden smile she had.
Sasuke thinks that he has finally found someone that he can open his heart to, and he is trying. Sasuke is actually working to find a good time to open up to Hinata, but the right moment has yet to arrive. He is going to try and tell her today, but his plans will be tossed aside as a new problem arises.
Me: Alright, shortness aside, I think that these chapters completely sucked. But they needed to be added to put some type of...mystery do I dare say?...into the plotline.
Sasuke: Wasn't there something you wanted to tell them?
Me: ...Yes! I remember! I have a challenge for you-points into the nonexistant crowd-readers: Can anyone figure out the reason for the title? I purposely created this title for a reason, so I want to see if anyone can guess correctly. If you do you will recieve a prize!
Sasuke: No you won't
Me: He's right...but it's the thought that counts! (But if I will promise to give...cookies? plush toys? anything you want for anyone that guesses!) By the way, where's Neji?
Sasuke: The mob of readers that were here last chapter took him
Me: ...Cool!
