Kyoko: I don't own Naruto
-----------------------------------------------------
"As I was saying, Uzumaki here" said Sakura pointing at the angry Naruto. "Is suicidal. He's going to need love and support to change him around. Hinata, I am SURE that you're able to give him that."
"Then what's the prob-"
Sakura cut Hinata off.
"The problem is that you're going to love him. And in the 'The Code of Angels' say that an angel cannot fall in love, under no circumstances. Hinata, you're sweet and gentle and caring, but I know both you and your sensitive heart. I know that you are going to lose your wings and power for this. Quit now. I'm warning you."
Hinata sighed, and stared at her toes. Sakura chan was right. She DID want to fall in love, but... she couldn't.
Hinata's hair was used like a curtain, separating her from Sakura.
Sakura started to get impatient and tapped her black high heels non-stop.
"Hinata, have you made up your mind? I'm a really busy woman you know. If you still accept this mission, that's fine with me. If you don't, then I'll take over" she said, shoving her thumb to herself.
Hinata was still silent. What could she do? She can help this poor man, or she can't. But if she quit now, will Sakura let her live this down? She raised her head slightly, so she could see a glimpse of Sakura. She is currently checking out her fingernails- as if it wasn't perfect already. Sakura caught Hinata's eyes and smirked, saying 'Give up. You won't be able to go through with this anyway'
That's it.
"I-I'm going to take this mission" Hinata said firmly, rising to her full height. The smile on Sakura's face melted, replacing with a scowl. "What? What did you say?"
Hinata trembled a bit, but she again said in a loud clear voice "I'm going along with the mission"
Sakura glared at her and grabbed her by her shirt collar. "Hinata, I'm trying to be nice and patient here. You better quit while you can, or else you're going to regret it."
Hinata merely slapped her hand away. "We're both equally powerful; there is nothing you can do to harm me"
Sakura scowled and walked up to her, her eyes full of fury. "Wanna bet?" Hinata prepared herself for battle, but instead Sakura snapped her fingers and time began once again.
"What the--" Naruto cried, snapping out of his senses. When he looked at Sakura and Hinata, they were completely different than they were a second ago. Tensions build the air, and hatred was leaking out their bodies. Naruto was too afraid to even move. Finally, after the deafening silence, Sakura announced,
"Hinata, I respect you as a fellow comrade, but…" Sakura shot a glare at Naruto, who cringed in fear, "As a woman, I think you're foolish. But trust me on this, you WILL pay"
Sakura stomped out the door.
(Hinata's Pov)
As soon as Sakura slammed the door close, I fell onto the couch with my hand massaging her temples.
I just faced a 1rst ranked Angel. Sure I'm in the same ranking, but I never actually fought against my same rank. Sakura and I are considered a legend, but the Dark Angel usually had cunning minds and humongous amount of strength. And to make matters worse, Sakura had became a part of the Angels before me.
'Am I really up to this?' I thought, my head drooping down even farther.
"Hey, are you alright?" Naruto asked, crouching down. "You guys look like you had a fight. What happened, she just stayed in here for like a minute before she stomped out. Did something happen?"
I couldn't help but give a sad smile, but I quickly answered with false cheerfulness, "Nothing Naruto kun. We just had a little argument, but it's nothing too depressing. It was just a little family feud"
His face looked doubtful and I wondered if he's suspicious about what really happened, but instead he asked, "Want to stay over for the night?"
Surprised, I nodded my head. "That would be great Naruto kun, thank you"
Grunting, he quickly turned around. But I swear before he turned around, his face was flushed red.
----(Naruto Pov.)----
I was going to give them a good long lecture, but before I could speak a word everything changed. I mean, they were still there and I was still me. The house didn't change, and the furniture was where they were, but they had a hateful look in their eyes. Their battle auras were thick, and I felt like I was intruding their…. Whatever"
"Hinata, I respect you as a fellow comrade, but…" Sakura glared at me, and I couldn't help but flinch when her anger was directed to me. Soon, she looked back at Hinata, but she didn't cringe or flinch. She must be brave like hell.
"As a woman, I think you're foolish. But trust me on this, you WILL pay" By now I was really confused, but I couldn't say anything…. Even though It was my house. Luckily, I didn't' really have to say anything because she stomped out of my house by herself. But immediately as Sakura was out of our sight, Hinata toppled to my couch with her hands on her head. Something must've happened during that millisecond, and it seemed personal. I didn't want to bother her, because she was so deep in thought, but my curiosity almost blew as each second ticked by. Finally, I bent down next to her, and looked up.
"Hey, are you alright? You guys look like you had a fight. What happened, she just stayed in here for like a minute before she stomped out. Did something happen?" I asked. She snapped out of her trance and gazed into my eyes. She gave a sad smile, the same smile I use to mask my pain, and answered with a fake voice,
"Nothing Naruto kun. We just had a little argument, but it's nothing too depressing. It was just a little family feud"
I didn't believe her, and I must've shown it because she made this worried face. I wanted to press her on about it, but I know from personal experience, that she didn't want to about it. And who am I to butt into someone else's business? So instead I said, "Want to sleep over for the night?"
I must've said the right thing because she answered, "That would be great Naruto kun, thank you" She flashed a happier smile, and I couldn't help but blush. I quickly turned away. 'She's so cute….' I thought.
"Um, y-you make yourself comfortable… I-I only have one bed and you can use that. There's a restroom connected to my room, and you can use some of my clothes as your pajamas…. I'll just wait here I guess…."
She giggled and got up. "Thank you, I really appreciate this." With that, she walked into my room and quietly closed the door. I slumped down on my recliner and glanced at the grocery bags. "What a day…." I sighed.
