She's always a step ahead of everyone else, or at least she tends to be. She was smart – not as smart as Shikamaru, of course – but that didn't seem to be the reason for her strange ability. Strange ability or not, she could never beat Shikamaru at Shogi. She had to be a bit more than one step ahead to beat the genius at that.
Maybe she had a gift. Clairvoyance? Hardly. Maybe everyone was just too predictable. Or maybe she was just a really great guesser. Being able to see the future would have its strong points though...given her a little more time to make the inevitable disappear.
She had known the night Sasuke was going to leave the village. It wasn't logic that brought her there, it was pure instinct. Her feet had lead her there subconsciously. She liked to think they had a link. An invisible little...thing...that made it possible to know what each other was thinking, though if it were like that at all, he didn't really get her subliminal messages. That, or it was a one-sided thing.
Fact: she hated waiting for things to happen. She liked to go straight to the ending. Probably the reason she didn't like romance books that much. No, nothing like the Icha Icha Paradise books Kakashi read. Her stomach and young mind wouldn't be able to handle those. She still enjoyed reading romance novels from time to time, but they were just so predictable and sometimes the beginnings were just so...pointless, making her skipping a few pages just to get to the climax.
All those non-fiction books that her mentor made her read about medicines and the body were more of her thing. They didn't have a predictable plotline – no plotline at all, actually – and you learned something useful.
In her opinion, beginnings were only there because people liked the feeling of suspense and surprise - not knowing what to expect, or the feeling of being right when suspicions are confirmed. She didn't like surprises, thus being the reason she tries to be ahead of the game at all times. Besides, on missions, surprises can cost you your life. She had learned that the hard way.
The thing was, she always liked endings better than beginnings, because when you think about it...
Endings are just the start of a new beginning.
