Mshinata: SarahiNia, crocodile tears? xD Haha. I couldn't help but laugh, because I'm mean.
Sasuke: I would comment, but I have no idea what you're talking about.
Mshinata: Who saw that chapter of Shugo Chara with Ikuto in Amu's bed?! –Squeals and gushes-
Sasuke: OMFG WHAT. SHE'S JUST A LITTLE GIRL.
Mshinata: Nu uh.
Sasuke: Then how old is she?
Mshinata: -silence- I have no idea actually. –Nervous laugh and sweat drops-
Sasuke: Exactly.
Mshinata: I don't own Naruto!
Sakura wasn't at school the next day. It surprised everyone actually. Hinata had told Sasuke that she had talked to her when she was getting her text book, but she didn't say what they were talking about. Surprisingly, Sasuke didn't pry about what they were talking about.
"Eh…Sakura isn't here today." Ino looked around as she and Hinata walked down the halls. "You think she was sick?"
"M-maybe." Hinata lied. Actually, Sakura was most likely completely fine physically but not emotionally. She just needed some time to herself.
"Well, at least we have one less annoyance to deal with." Ino said, waving a finger in the air. Hinata scowled.
"I don't think you should talk so badly with Sakura. You were once friends with her, ne? So…why do you hate her so much?" She asked boldly. Ino closed her eyes and smirked.
"I bet she talks badly about me, too. Considering her group always gives me dirty looks." She retorted, opening her eyes as she started to walk faster.
"B-but…that doesn't mean you have to do the same as well." Hinata said as she tried to catch up. Before Ino or Hinata could say anything more, they already arrived at their classroom. Naruto energetically waved to the two girls (mostly Hinata), Gaara looked up, and Sasuke just sat there. They took their normal seats, but neither of the girls spoke to each other after that.
"You two are pretty quiet." Sasuke turned around to talk to Hinata. She gave him a nervous smile. Ino looked the other way, not wanting to talk to either of them. Hinata inwardly sighed to herself. Did she upset Ino? She didn't mean to...she was just trying to find out how Ino hated Sakura. Maybe Sakura hurt her? Either way, Hinata thought that Ino should forgive her for whatever she did.
"I HATE THIS SILENCE!" Naruto shouted with his hands pulling out his hair. "IT'S SO…AGGRAVATING!" A book slammed into his face.
"Shut up." Gaara said, removing the book from Naruto's face. He continued to read like nothing happened.
"Y-yes sir…" Naruto said, sniffing his tears away. He shrunk down into his seat as he obeyed the red-haired demon.
Ino didn't talk to Hinata all day. It bothered Hinata all day. Even though she knew she didn't say anything wrong, Ino was surely bothered by what she said. At the end of the day at her locker, she decided to apologize to Ino. She looked into her locker and took a deep breath.
"What's with the long sigh." Of course, Sasuke didn't ask it like a question. He said it more like a statement.
"I'm going to apologize to Ino-chan…I feel like I hurt her really badly." Hinata said worriedly, turning to him. He raised a brow.
"Even though I don't know what's going on, I'm pretty sure you did nothing wrong." He said. It was like he could read her mind (although it wasn't surprising). "Don't apologize. Let her come to you."
"B-but…!" She tried to come up with a reason why she should apologize. She couldn't come up with anything.
"Exactly. Ino takes things too seriously. She's like a female version of Naruto…except she's not spoiled and not as annoying." He said, scratching the back of his hand.
"B-but…" She tried once more, but there still weren't any words coming out of her mouth. His hand pat her head. He rubbed her head a few times and walked away.
"I'll wait for you at the exit." He said as he walked away. She touched her head where he pat her. It was weird. She felt like it would be better if she listened to him. But still…
"Hinata-chan," Ino called her from behind. She turned around to find an apologetic Ino. Ino said, "G-gomen…" She looked away, "…about that whole Sakura thing. It's just…it's really personal…and I…well…" She didn't really know what to say.
"It's okay." Hinata smiled a little smile. Ino took a deep breath.
"I finally got that out! Now we can go home peacefully!" Ino stretched and headed towards the exit. Hinata smiled even wider. It was good that she and Ino were talking again.
"I told you." Sasuke said as Ino and Hinata opened the exit door. He leaned against the railing of the stairs with his hands in his pockets.
"A-ano…g-gomen…" Hinata bowed to him.
"You told her what?" Ino got up in his face. He twitched.
"Nothing. It's none of your business." He said as he brushed her aside and started to walk home. An angry mark appeared on her temple.
"Tell me!" Ino whined to him as she caught up with him. Hinata smiled even more and caught up with the two. They were like brother and sister.
"I change my mind." Sasuke ignored Ino and talked to Hinata. "She is like Naruto."
"NANI?! HOW CAN YOU COMPARE ME TO…TO…TO…THAT?!" Ino twitched uncontrollably.
"Well, you're both blonde, you both have blue eyes, you both are loud, and you both are annoying." He said, running a hand through his hair.
"Hmph. Sasuke-kun, you're not very nice." Ino said, pouting angrily and crossing her arms. Hinata giggled.
"Who said I was nice?" He retorted. Ino was about to say something but he cut her off saying, "Now go away. Hinata and I have another date." He said, looking in Hinata's direction. She looked away, avoiding any eye contact. It had been weird lately. Especially when…
"You…said to be that you could be very protective…right?" Hinata said quietly. Sasuke looked at her with confused eyes. "…t-then…c-can I…be p-protective a-about you…?" She squeaked out.
What was that?!
"Fine. Fine." Ino sighed. "You're always so protective about Hinata-chan. Hina-chan, please don't fall into the hands of the devil." She whispered the last sentence in Hinata's ear.
"What was that?!" Sasuke shouted.
"Iie. Iie. Nothing." Ino sang. "Have fun!" She said as she ran off before Sasuke could kill her. He sighed loudly.
"Honestly, that girl doesn't talk to you for a whole day and she bursts all her energy out at the end of the day." He said with a scowl on his face. Hinata laughed. Sasuke walked in front of Hinata, leading the way somewhere unfamiliar.
"It's alright. That's Ino-chan, after all." She said. "So where are we going today?" She asked happily. He smirked. She didn't like that smirk.
"Ho…excited for our date?" His smirk grew wider and haughtier. She blushed furiously.
"N-no! I-it's just that…" She tried to explain herself but failed once again.
"Actually…I'd like to go somewhere quiet today." Sasuke said quietly. She was surprised. He'd been trying to get her to go out to fancy restaurants, but now…it seemed like he was really serious about going somewhere quiet.
"W-well…alright." Hinata replied quietly as well. He gently grabbed her hand and led the way. It seemed like they weren't going home to change today.
"Just tell me please." Hinata pleaded as she was continued to be pulled by Sasuke's firm grip. He tightened his hand around hers.
"No." He plainly said. She scrunched her nose. She had been asking him what they were going to do today and Sasuke hadn't told her anything! She knew it was somewhere quiet, so…it couldn't be a restaurant. Unless…it was a quiet restaurant, but they were still wearing their school uniform. What could it be?
She couldn't ignore her heart rate getting faster and louder as Sasuke continued to drag her somewhere. His hand was tightly around hers…his hand seemed like they weren't going to let go soon. Well, he did say that he was very protective around…
Hinata shook her red and felt her cheeks heat up. She was so weird.
Sasuke stopped in his tracks and a small smile crept onto his face. Hinata raised a brow, but then turned to see what he was looking at.
She didn't realize that he had taken her to a bridge that was above a beautiful creek. The sun was setting and the water sparkled like diamonds.
Hinata unconsciously gasped and leaned over the bridge to get a closer look.
"If you fall, I'm not catching you." Sasuke said teasingly. Hinata giggled and smiled.
"I won't fall." She promised him. A blush crept onto her face. The creek was so beautiful…so sparkling. She noticed a mother duck with her little ducklings. Two of the ducklings were fighting with each other while the other ones tried to break them up. The mother duckling finally noticed the little fight and broke up the two fighting ducklings. It seemed like they had forgiven each other and swam away, following their mother duckling. Hinata laughed.
"Ducks have it so easy." Sasuke finally said. This surprised her. She thought she was the only one watching that. "They get to have such a care-free life. We humans always have to worry about school, careers, and…" He paused for a moment and breathed, "…marriage." Hinata blushed at that word.
"W-why would you mention marriage? You wouldn't have to get married." She commented softly.
"Sometimes…I wish I could be an animal…never having to worry about anything…" He ignored her comment. She thought about this. There was something really troubling him and he wouldn't tell her.
"But…to be an animal, you must worry about survival. You must worry about how you should protect yourself to not get yourself eaten or hunted…" Hinata replied with a small voice.
"Hn." She looked up at him and saw him smirking. "I guess you're right." They turned to face the creek again. Hinata was still dazzled by the way the creek sparkled. It seemed so clean and pure.
"Ne…S-Sasuke-sama…" Sasuke lips softly pressed against Hinata's forehead. His hands grabbed her shoulders and gave them a tight squeeze. He kept his lips there for a few moments and slowly backed away.
Hinata's heart was about to burst. What was he doing?!
"I wish I had that sort of freedom." Sasuke said. Hinata's eyes widened. He had a sad smile on his face. The wind was blowing through his hair, hiding his expression. All she could see was his very sad smile. Before she knew it, Sasuke was already gone. She blinked and looked around. She called out to Sasuke but couldn't find him anywhere.
Her heart was aching, her stomach was hurting, and she felt a premonition that something bad was about to happen.
"Hinata-san!" Neji called out to Hinata with his fake cheery voice, but actually, Hinata thought she had heard real cheerfulness in his voice. "I'm so glad that you're not with…Uchiha-san today." He said as she came closer to him.
"Actually…I don't think he's here today." Hinata said worriedly. Neji returned to his old self and raised a brow.
"And you're worried…why?" He asked rudely, crossing his arms. "He's a nuisance and an ignorant, haughty emo." Hinata nervously laughed.
"You could be a little nicer, you know…" She said quietly.
"I know," He said, "but I don't feel like it."
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Neji-senpai."
"Ah. Ohayo gozaimasu, Haruno-san." Neji gave Sakura his fake, innocent smile. Sakura smiled back slightly and then shifted her gaze towards Hinata.
"Ohayo, Hinata-san. Is Naruto here today?" Sakura asked calmly. Hinata was surprised by her calmness. You would think she'd be the type to break down crying, saying her ex's name.
"I'm actually not sure." Hinata answered back politely.
"Probably not. If he was here, he'd be causing quite a ruckus, ne?" Neji said in his sickeningly sweet voice.
"Oh…I see." Sakura answered quietly. "Well," she started to brighten up, "I'll see you in class, Hinata-san." She smiled cheerfully at her and practically skipped to her locker. Neji raised a brow.
"What the hell. She must be bipolar." Hinata nudged Neji in the stomach. "What?"
"That's not very nice to say. After all, she's nicer now, isn't she?" She scolded Neji. He shrugged.
"I guess."
After Ino, Naruto, and Gaara arrived to school, it became louder. There still was no sign of Sasuke. The students filled into their homerooms. Hinata was impatient and started tapping her pencil on her desk. The more impatient she was, the more she tapped her pencil.
"What's wrong, Hina-chan? Worried about Sa-su-ke-kun?" Ino spelled out his name. Hinata's face instantly turned red.
"Iie! Impossible I'm just tired of waiting on the sensei…besides, Sasuke-kun wasn't feeling very well yesterday." Hinata stammered and continued to tap her pencil.
"Someone's anxious this morning." Gaara commented as he read his usual book.
"G-Gaara-kun…" Hinata said.
"Dammit. Stop worrying about Sasuke!" Naruto practically shouted. "He's fine. He can go be emo and he'll be fine. He can go cut himself as many times as he wants to, but he won't die. I know for a fact that Sasuke-teme won't die that easily." Many Sasuke fan club members gasped and shout a deathly glare at Naruto while Hinata panicked. An angry mark appeared on Ino's temple and she smacked him on the back of his head.
"Baka. Sasuke-kun isn't that desperate to die." Ino scolded and crossed her arms.
"Not yet." Gaara commented once more. Ino shot a deadly glare at Gaara for his rudeness.
"Okay, settle down, students." Kakashi sensei entered the classroom with his usual hidden smile behind his mask. "Good morning, everyone."
"Good morning, Kakashi-sensei." Everyone greeted him.
"Even though it's the end of the week, our new student couldn't wait to start on Monday. She decided to start today." Kakashi announced.
"Who the hell would be excited for school?" Naruto muttered under his breath. Gaara and Ino nodded in agreement.
"Okay Uchiha," Kakashi called, "bring her in." Hinata's heart skipped a beat as she heard Sasuke's name. He was alright after all.
Sasuke walked in the classroom with a girl. He casually put his hand behind her back and seemed like he was slightly pushing her along. All the boys started whistling (including Naruto) as the girl walked in. She blushed heavily and looked towards Kakashi for help. He just nervously smiled at her.
"Everyone, this is Karin Momozono." Kakashi pointed to the blushing, black haired girl. (I just made up the last name). Hinata started to feel an ominous feeling about her, despite the new girl's innocent look. She didn't know what…it was just an instinct.
"H-hello everyone…I…I hope to be friends with everyone." She bowed deeply. Sasuke rolled his eyes. She lifted her head and looked down at the floor.
"She seems just like you, Hinata-chan." Ino whispered to Hinata. "She's pretty, don't you think?"
Of course she was pretty. She wouldn't be with Sasuke. That's what Hinata was thinking anyway.
Hinata had to admit though…she was more than beautiful. She had slightly long red hair that was a bit spiky. She wore little square glasses that seemed to attract attention, rather than avoiding it. She was about Hinata's size, but she had the most beautiful legs. They were so white and just…perfect. Her eyes were black like Sasuke's but seemed to have more feeling in it.
Again, Hinata felt like Karin Momozono was not good news.
To be continued…
Mshinata: I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING!!!! –Bows deeply-
Sasuke: You better be, fool.
Mshinata: I was so busy. Also, I was hooked to Romeo X Juliet and I couldn't help but watch it. I'm still watching it, too. Isn't Romeo just adorable? –Sighs- OH, and Tybalt! xD Juliet's my hero. She's just gorgeous.
Ino: Her long hair is so flowing. Her hair is so pretty in a ponytail. –Gushes with Mshinata-
Sasuke: You two are weird.
Sai: You're just jealous because you aren't as hot as Romeo.
Sasuke: Uhhh. That sounds weird coming from your mouth.
Sai: Shut your mouth, dick wad. –Smiles-
Mshinata: O-KAYYY…before Sasuke and Sai kill themselves, please review!
