The Small Things...
Hinata decided today was the day- she would go outside. She showered, ate then dressed. She breathed the warm air of her safe haven. As she stepped out, she looked back.
"Get a grip, Hinata! It's only for 2 hours! He wouldn't attack in a crowd!" She thought harshly in her head. She went downstairs. Of course, Neji was downstairs actually waiting. He had the money in his hand. She gulped. He turned.
"Look who decided-"
"Give me the money." She said in a strong voice. He nodded proudly. Little Hinata was growing up. He held back a smirk as he handed her the money- but not before grabbing her wrist. Her eyes widened a little before her brows furrowed in annoyance. She swiftly kicked his legs, losing his footing and falling. Simply slapping his hand away removed it. She stragitined up, stepped over him and left.
The sun was beatuiful and bright. She found herself smiling at it.
"Oi! Hinata! You came to see the light finally?!" Naruto rang. Sakura giggled and Sasuke smirked.
"Well... I-I felt it w-was t-time..." She sighed. She was ready to cry but she composed herself.
"So! Wanna go eat?"
"Oh... U-um I just a-ate..."
"Then wha' are ya doin out?
"I was j-just out t-to shop..."
"Hey... You mind buyin me some ramen?" Sakura knocked him out.
"Sorry Hinata. He has money- just too lazy to do it on his own." She simply nodded as Sakura looked at the sun.
"Ahh, look at the time. C'mon sasuke, lets go meet Sensei." He opened his eyes.
"Hnn." Sakura kicked Narutos body. "Wake up bonehead!" He glared as the group began to walk away. She almost didnt notice Sasuke stop, turn and wink at her. By time she realized, he was gone.
The Falling Star...
Hinata didn't realize how late it was until she glanced at the sky. It was pink orange red. It was already setting!
"Gahh! I gotta cook tonight!" She's been enjoying the breeze and just the simplicity of the day. Now she's wasted 6 hours doing absolutly nothing.
"It's nice being Shikamaru for once..." She giggled and walked back to the village. It was sorta late, so the crowd was sparse. She bought some fish, miso noodles, rice, oban drink and pocky for Hanabi- she loved sweets. After gathering her groceries, she went forth home. However, she decided to visit a small tea shop to relax a little. She settled down and ordered a cup of jasmine tea and some sweet dumplings. The waitress took her order as she glanced worriedly to the left. What was scaring her? She gasped. Who was the red head? His aura matched her attackers, only brighter and crimson! Just then sasuke appeared. His aura was also brighter, only blue.
"I cannot find my attacker based on auras! They're based on emotions, not chakra! But why was his-"
"Here's your tea and dumplings, ma'am. Please play upfront. Thank you!" She sighed and blushed.
"Thanks..." She muttered. Not realizing someone's were watching, with her being lost within her own world...
