When I stepped out of the house, I took notice that Hinata was looking down while twiddling her fingers together. She was still rather shocked after seeing all of that. She didn't expect it at all. She was actually just a little jealous, but I couldn't see that. I've never thought that she too would like me. Although it's not surprising. Hinata never acted that way, it was usually just around Naruto. So I never even thought about her that much, just another girl in the crowd.
"It's not what you think..."
Hinata's blush began to darken even more if possible as she nervously looked up towards me. She was almost startled as I gave her an irritated glare. I could almost hear the sounds of Kiba and Itachi coming from within an open window. They weren't getting closer, but it did sound like they were heading off somewhere.
"W-What.. do you mean?" Hinata stuttered.
"...Forget it. It doesn't matter." I mumbled quietly and continued to walk away.
I came to a stop when I felt a sudden hand being placed upon my left shoulder. Silent whispers speaking gently into my right ear, which sent shivers down my spine.
"Well I never thought I'd see you here."
The voice seemed familiar, but it definitely wasn't someone that I was close to. It definitely wasn't someone living in that house either. My body froze slightly as I tried to figure out who it was. And then it came to me..
"What the hell.. are you doing here, Sai?"
I had turned around to face him as Sai had pulled his arm away from me before he could make a sudden move. He knew how I was, and he knew how to react. It almost got to the point where it would piss me off. And trust me, I was.
And I thought the day could not get any worst.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to fight you. I just came to visit Kiba."
"If that's all it is, then don't mess with me."
Sai just faked a small smile as his eyes trailed lower, scanning me for a bit. Maybe he was checking to see if I had any weapons on me.
I was totally ignoring Hinata while my gaze was focused on the idiot standing in front of me. My voice seemed to catch him off guard as I replied with a curious question. I didn't think he would make such a big deal out of it either.
"You've been to the Leaf village, right? How's Naruto...?"
"So you do care for him."
"Tch.. So what if I do?"
"He misses you, y'know. You should go see him."
I rolled my eyes as I folded my arms up over my chest. I couldn't go back. Not after all that has happened. I've already thought things through. As much as I would like to see him again.. It was better that I didn't. Things wouldn't be the same anymore. And they probably would not accept me either.
Sai seemed to realise that it got to me, but he didn't say anything. His fake smile left his features as he glanced off to the side when the house door began to open up slowly. It was probably Kiba and Itachi heading out of the house as well. I guess nobody liked staying indoors.
"Sorry to be a bother. I'll be going now.."
"Hey, Sai..."
Before Sai could turn around and walk off, Sai blinked and looked back over towards me with a calm expression that he always seemed to wear. In a way, it kind of reminded me of Itachi. Never showing their emotions. Always calm and collective.
"...?"
"Take good care of Naruto and the others. Alright?"
"Heh, sure. I'll try my best. Hey, Sasuke..."
"What is it..?"
Sai reached out rather quickly as his fingers latched around my shirt collar when he yanked me forward. I then felt his lips being pressed firmly against mine for a brief moment. It was gentle, yet passionate. I was just so stunned that I could barely move. It was bad enough that he was kissing me. But right in front of the others too?!
As he pulled away, my eyes widened in shock. And then there was that smile again..
"Take good care of yourself..." Sai then turned around and began to walk off with Kiba.
Kiba was indeed very stunned as well. But this wasn't the first time he had saw something strange such as this. It was Itachi that made me feel kind of bad as he looked disappointed. I sure as hell hoped he didn't think that I liked it. I wanted to push Sai away, but I didn't. Itachi probably thought something of it. He didn't walk away though, even though I could tell that he probably wanted to. I was mad at him to begin with. And now he saw Sai kissing me.
My teeth clenched as I walked over towards Itachi. I tried to walk past him as I growled to myself. Yet he had easily grabbed a hold of me to stop me from going back inside. He gave me this serious look, but it didn't look angry. Instead, it was rather.. concerned.
"Who was that...?"
Come to think of it.. Itachi never met Sai before. This was his first time seeing the guy who had replaced me. I began to use the side of my arms to rub at my tainted lips as I kept my gaze away from Sai. I never wanted to see that guy again.
"My replacement."
It was as simple as that. He was nothing to me. And I was hoping Itachi could understand that. It wasn't that big a deal.. Right? I was just frustrated with what had been going on that day. No good ever coming out of it.
