Chapter 3
Hinata followed Temari, like a little puppy, obediently and quietly. Suddenly she bumped into something hard, her head shot up and that was when she realized Temari had stopped.
"A-a-ano, Temari-san?" Hinata asked.
"Um aren't you supposed to be showing me around?" Temari asked, looking over her shoulder at the Hyuuga girl.
"Oh uh! G-g-g-g-gomen T-temari-san!" Hinata stuttered, and walked a little ways in front of her.
Hinata kept her eyes glued to the ground and began to walk, Temari following closely behind. Suddenly the painful words of her father hit her again and Hinata almost began to cry, and stopped without even realizing it. An irritated sigh from behind her told Hinata that she was doing exactly what she had promised herself she wouldn't do, fail. She wiped her tears away and faced Temari with a smile.
"S-so T-t-temari-san w-what would y-y-y-ou like to d-do today?" Hinata asked graciously.
"Well, how about you show me your favorite places? Usually all Shikamaru does is stare up at the clouds," Temari said, looking thoughtful.
"Alright, p-p-please follow m-me T-t-temari-san!" Hinata said, and that began their first day.
They spent all morning going to Hinata's favorite places, like a small tea shop where everyone seemed to know Hinata. Then they went to lunch at Hinata's favorite restaurant, but afterwards they had nothing to do.
"U-uh T-Temari-san, d-d-do you mind i-if I t-t-t-trained? " Hinata asked, nervously, the rest of her favorite places were in the wilderness anyway, and she didn't want to skip training.
"Hai, Hyuuga-san, I think that is something we'll both enjoy," Temari said, giving Hinata a real smile.
Temari had found herself getting more and more comfortable around the Hyuuga girl, and realized that she was extremely easy to get along with.
'Maybe this friendship will work out after all' Temari thought, she didn't have many friends either, considering one brother was rumored a homicidal maniac and the other was a pervert who wears make up.
Hinata seemed to not show any fear when it came to people like Gaara, or hold any grudges, she had forgiven her cousin and they were on the slow path to recovering their lost friendship. She had also thought that it would be a complete disaster when she tried to make friends with the blonde and found it increasingly easy.
So the days went by with Hinata and Temari training together, and their friendship grew. But one day their training was disrupted. Hinata was going through the familiar steps of the gentle fist style while Temari sat on the ground taking a break when they heard a rustle from the bushes.
"T-temari-san, d-did you hear t-t-that?" Hinata asked, pausing in her gentle fist stance to stare at her blonde friend.
"Yeah Hinata-san, I heard it," She replied, standing and pulling out her fan. "Whoever you are come out or I'll blow you into oblivion."
There was no reply, and Temari nodded towards Hinata, who immediately started the familiar signs for activating her Byakugan. Before she could even finish all the seals, a familiar blonde boy fell out of the bush and onto to the ground followed by a pink haired Kunoichi.
"Gomen, Temari-san, Hinata-san!" Sakura said, bowing to the two girls in respect. "Naruto-baka here, wanted to try and scare you two." She continued putting her foot on Naruto's head.
"Aww Sakura-chan you ruin all the fun! Besides, they wouldn't have hurt me, right Hinata-chan?' Naruto asked with a huge grin.
"N-n-naruto-kun!" Hinata gasped, her face starting to turn red.
"Was there something you needed, Naruto-san, Sakura-san? Me and Hinata-san have been training and we wish to get back to it," Temari replied, knowing that Hinata would never be able to speak to Naruto, without fear of passing out.
"Hey!' Naruto shouted, jumping up, knocking Sakura over who had her foot on his head. "I can visit Hinata-chan anytime I want, she's my friend! Right Hinata-chan?" Naruto said, giving his attention to the red faced girl. "Hey Hinata-chan are you feeling okay? Your face is awfully red."
Naruto started to approach Hinata, the Hyuuga heiress was to afraid and didn't know exactly what to do. Luckily, Temari and Sakura both acted at the same time, Temari stepped in front of Hinata Shielding her from view. While Sakura grabbed Naruto in a head lock and started chocking him for knocking her on the ground.
"Excuse me, Sakura-san, Naruto-san, what was so important that you had to seek us out?' temari asked, getting more and more annoyed by the gagging blonde.
"Oh gomen!" Sakura said, releasing Naruto, who fell to the ground gasping.
Pulling a scroll out of her thigh pouch, Sakura held it out. Temari cautiously grabbed and opened it.
"What is this?" Temari asked looking over the scroll.
"It's actually for Hinata-san," Sakura stated, when Naruto finally regained his breath.
"Yeah she completed her mission and that's the notice that tomorrow instead of meeting at the Hokage tower she's off," Naruto said.
"Well that was all Temari-san, Hinata-san, have a good day, come on Naruto-baka!" Sakura said; bidding farewell to her fellow Kunoichi's while dragging Naruto away.
Hinata and Temari stood there silently until Naruto's cries of pain were no longer heard; Hinata slowly pulled the scroll from Temari's hands and read it.
"Oh, it s-s-seems that S-s-s-shikamaru-san is d-done with his o-o-other m-mission," Hinata said quietly while reading over the scroll again.
"What?" Temari asked turning to read over Hinata's shoulder.
"S-s-so it seems t-t-that I h-have c-c-completed m-my mission, ne T-t-t-temari-chan?" Hinata asked, summoning all of her courage to add the small sign of friendship at the end of Temari's name.
"Hai, Hinata-chan," Temari said, returning the friendship. "Let's get some ice cream later, my treat okay?"
"Oh n-no T-t-temari-chan! I c-c-couldn't possibly l-l-let y-you…" Hinata started.
"You can and you will, now get back into your fighting stance, and let's see what you Hyuuga's can do!" Temari replied smiling.
Later that afternoon right before sunset Temari and Hinata were seen walking each holding an ice cream. Temari was keeping the conversation going, while Hinata licked her ice cream and listened to the stories with mild interest. Finally there talk came to an abrupt stop and neither had anything to say, then a thought hit Temari.
"Ne, Hinata-chan, so you like Naruto right?" Temari asked a smirk on her face.
Within seconds the Hyuuga became a red stuttering mess and Temari laughed. After a few minutes Hinata realized Temari was teasing her, and it didn't take long for her to come up with her own witty comeback.
"W-well T-temari-chan, don't y-y-you like S-shikamaru-san?' Hinata asked, silencing the blonde quickly.
Now it was Hinata's turn to laugh, Temari's face was a light pink and she wouldn't look at Hinata.
"G-gomen T-temari-chan if I e-e-embarrassed you!" Hinata said worried that Temari might be mad at her.
"Yeah, it's fine, besides I started it!" Temari replied laughing it off.
Before they knew it, they were right in front of the Hyuuga manor, and Hinata was saying good bye.
"Holy…Hinata-chan is this really your house?!" Temari asked, awed, she had never seen Hinata's house before; usually they would part at the training grounds each going their separate ways.
"H-hai," Hinata said, a little embarrassed for not showing it to her.
"Wow," Temari replied, before turning toward the direction of the inn she was staying at. "It was fun hanging out with you Hinata-chan; I guess I'll see you around."
"H-hai, hopefully," Hinata said looking at the ground as Temari began walking away. "W-wait T-temari-chan!" She cried, making Temari stop and look at her. "Thank you f-for being m-my f-friend."
"Yeah, thanks for being my friend to Hinata-chan," Temari said, and with that she was gone.
