Yo, everyone! Decided I would continue cause I wanted to see that if I made more chapters, more people would read. I personally thought the first chapter SUCKED, but there were people who said they liked it so that was good! (optimism!) But please, REVIEW! It helps encourage me. I don't care if you're anonymous(I don't know how to spell that word ^_^'). So, yeah, R&R.

I do NOT own Naruto…

"Sasuke-san?", Hinata gasped when caught her. "Oh, you startled me," she said with a slight blush on her face. "It's nice to see you. Do you need anything?"

"Do you want to marry Naruto?" he asked bluntly, which caught Hinata completely off guard.

"U-uum, what did you-"

"Do you want to marry Naruto," Sasuke cut in impatiently.

Finally! The moment she had been waiting for! Someone finally saw she didn't love Naruto like she thought she had! But, all she could do was stare slack-jawed and somewhat scared. Not only was Sasuke intimidating, but he was Naruto's best friend. She didn't know what to do. On one hand, he was probably the best person to tell it to because he was his friend, but on the other hand he was probably the worst person to tell because he didn't seem like the understanding type.

"Well?," Sasuke said, bringing her back to his question.

"Um, well, I-I," she started blinking rapidly as tears started forming in her eyes. 'Why do I feel like I'm going to cry? There's no reason to! He just asked me a simple question! I've got to pull it together or I'll lose my chance!,' she thought.

Sasuke looked at her expression and thought she was probably bothering her and he was over examining things. "Look, I'm sorry I bother you. I'll just lea-"

"Wait!," she cried as she grabbed on his shirt before he walked away. "To be honest," she started lowering her voice and her head, "I don't think I love him. I don't want to marry him. I thought I did, but when we're together I feel like I don't want to be there. That I want to be somewhere else so badly, but I didn't think I should feel that way. I thought when you loved someone you should always crave their presence, but that's not what I feel. I feel empty and it's killing me."

Sasuke stayed silent making sure that was all she had to say. He looked up at nothing taking in what she had said. He was surprised that Hinata, the Hinata that had been in love with Naruto for so long, no longer loved that exact person. It was almost laughable. Almost.

"Why didn't you reject him when he propose to you? That seems like the time when you would say how you felt…," he commented.

"I don't know. I wasn't really thinking."

"Well, not only are you hurting yourself, but your going to hurt him too."

"Wha- No! I'm not trying to hurt him! I just- I just…," she said beginning to feel ashamed of herself. She had no reason for the what she was doing. She was just being stupid and thoughtless like always.

"What was it that made you like him in the first place?" he asked suddenly.

It took her no time to return her answer. It was something that was great about him. Something that made her feel how she had once felt about him. "His ability to endure anything, and when he falls he bounces right back and never gives up," she recited it like she'd said it many times before.

"If he's been able to bounce back from other things, don't you think he can bounce back from this. This will probably only hurt him for so long, but if you marry him with no feelings for him you both will begin to get bitter and that will lead to divorce. There's no need for all of that."

Hinata stared thoughtfully at Sasuke. His words made sense. Besides, no one cares about a divorced man, but who wants to marry a divorced woman?

"Thank you Sasuke-san! I feel better, but… I have a question." He gave her a look that said "Go on". "W-well, w-when I tell him, c-can you go with me, please?"

Sasuke looked at her for a short while, then shook his head. "That's something that is between you and him. It's not my place to be there."

Hinata looked at him sadly, but it was probably for best. Who knows what it would make Naruto think.

Sasuke was looking away carelessly when he suddenly felt arms wrap around his torso, followed by a soft 'Thank you'.

Hinata unhooked herself from Sasuke and looked at her watch. "Oh, no! I've got to go and cook dinner!" Hinata bursted out. "T-thank you, Sasuke-san, again! I'm glad I told you. I feel better," she said with a warm smile. She bowed to him then ran off.

'It's good I helped her, but I wonder how Naruto is going to react…"

O… M… G… I feel like Hinata got a little shallow towards the end, or something. I thought it was weird how she started getting happy that she knew how okay it was to break Naruto's heart…. I dunno. Poor Naruto. Ugh! It's so annoying how when I write a Naruto characters name and it has that red squiggle line. It's frustrating! Anywho, REVIEW, REVIEW REVIEW…..please?
