Thanks for the reviews! Now, on to chapter 15! :)
No Entry 2: Getting the Journal
These were the words that were going on in Sasuke's head.
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, I hate Naruto, shit, shit, shit, and Itachi too, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, SHIT. Sasuke's eyes were twitching. He couldn't believe that he had lost his journal and it happened to come upon the blond idiot. Of all the people, it had to be him.
The Uchiha peeked in the door, and Naruto turned to the second page. His eyes widened as he recalled what he had written. It was probably the most cheesiest thing he had ever written of the entire journal. He saw the blond's mouth move and along heard the voice.
Naruto said, "Entry Two, Your smile is like a rainbow for me, but upside down. When it appears, it lights my day. When it is gone, I know that you are sad. I just wish that one day I will go up to you and ask you to smile for me."
Sakura was about to squeal. She absolutely loved that the entry because it was one of the sweetest things she has ever heard. Her smile became bigger of each sentence Naruto said.
The blond shinobi squinted and started laughing. "This is one of the stupidest things I have ever read!"
The two girls in the room were shocked. Mostly Sakura, who delivered a punch to Naruto, sending him through the wall.
"You insensitive idiot!" Sakura said as she clenched her fist together and started to go after him.
Sasuke sneaked into the room, trying to see if Naruto let go of the journal due to the intense punch from Sakura. He searched the floor, but saw nothing. He popped his head up, and accidentally frighten Hinata.
She immediately grabbed for the sheets to use as protection. She was scared to see Sasuke's head at the end of her hospital bed. The two blushed and Sasuke's apologized and slowly went back to the floor. Hinata was staring at Sasuke and was wondering what he was doing. By crawling on the floor made him look suspicious. She titled her head in confusion as Sasuke left the room, still on the ground.
Sasuke looked at the two and noticed that Naruto had the journal still. He was still laughing from the journal entry of his while Sakura was shaking him violently.
"That was like the sweetest thing I have ever heard someone say about a smile, but then you laugh at it? How are you going to get a girlfriend, or a girl to like you? You are such an idiot!" Sakura shouted.
"Heheh! I'm sorry Sakura-chan! I actually think it's really nice!" Naruto said, trying to earn the affection again.
"Think? Just a second ago, you were laughing your head off! And besides," Sakura then whispered to him, "don't you like Hinata? I mean, love her?"
"Me loving Hinata?" Naruto asked loudly that Hinata could hear it.
Sasuke turned to her and saw her blush intensely. His eyes lowered, and the thought of Naruto taking Hinata that quickly made him pissed. Of all the things he had done, it couldn't have matched with the little effort Naruto put in. Hinata always put Naruto first, and he remembered that day on the tree with her. He told her that one day, he will notice her. Sasuke would like to refer that day as the day he noticed her hair as he pat it to comfort the girl.
This is the only girl Sasuke has ever had feelings toward to, and he is going to lose it to Naruto. Of all the fangirls he had, he chose someone who was like a fangirl to Naruto.
He observed Hinata as her smile grew and grew. She started poking her fingers together, waiting to hear of the next words of Naruto.
"Well..." Naruto was about to continue until he was cut off by a nurse.
"Excuse me, but what happened?" she stared at the huge hole in the wall. She was about to faint until other nurses helped her up. All of them were wearing white outfits and brunette that it made them look like triplets.
"Um..."Sakura quickly pointed the finger to Naruto, "he did it!"
"What? No! Sakura punched me and the wall broke!" Naruto said, "I'm innocent!"
The first nurse's left eye twitched. She gave off a vibe that she wanted to kill the two of them.
"Look!" Naruto went to the wall and posed. His left arm was higher than his right arm and his legs were just placed a few iches away, "she punched me into the wall and it broke!"
"What?" Sakura pushed Naruto out of the way and said, "he did break the wall, but it wasn't my fault! I told him that ramen doesn't taste good and he freaked out and ran into the wall! So technically, it wasn't my fault."
"What? That wasn't even the story!" Naruto said.
"SHUT UP!" the nurse said," you two are just in big trouble. So right now, head to the waiting room!"
The two stared at the nurses and sighed. They walked slowly to the waiting room while Naruto received another punch from Sakura.
He still has the journal. Sasuke thought, I have to follow them.
Sasuke slowly opened the waiting room door and saw Naruto and Sakura sitting next to each other. Both of their arms were crossed and they were silent since the nurses were watching them while the main nurse was off telling the staff leaders about the mess. Sasuke wondered what to do. So he devised a plan.
He looked at the nurse and thought about it. There was an old man on the opposite side of where Naruto and Sakura were sitting. He was slowly walking around with the staff of his.
The old man had bits of white hair on the back of his head, revealing nasty pores on top of his head. He had big glasses that made his eyes look ten times bigger than anyone's. He wore a green jacket and tan pants. His shoes were old and ruined, that you could see some of his toes. His toes looked like he never cut them in years, and it was yellow.
Sasuke observed it and he heard a cart coming. He looked back and saw the cart's items. He noticed a water bottle. Once the cart stopped due to something asking for a drink and drink, Sasuke sneaked to the cart and immediately grabbed for the water bottle and a cup of ramen.
He opens the door and aims at the old man. Sasuke throws it and hits the old man's stomach.
"Oof!" The old man said as he held his stomach. He soon lost balance and fell on the ground, "my back! Help!"
The two nurses noticed and helped him off the floor. But while helping him, they heard a huge pop. It turned out to be the old man's back that cracked. They dropped him and he was in intense pain.
"You idiots! HELP ME!" He shouted as he tried to grab them.
"W-what should we do? Should we bring him to a room?" The second nurse asked.
"That would be the best choice, come on," the third nurse said. Then she noticed a water bottle near him. She lifted up an eyebrow and grabbed the water bottle.
"What is this doing here?" She asked herself.
"Hey! Help me! He's really heavy!" The second nurse said.
She nodded and they both carried him to the door. The nurse dropped the water, which rolled underneath Sakura's chair. Sasuke immediately stood away from the door, with hands in his pockets, he laid back to the wall. The nurses brought him to the same room as Hinata was in.
"I can't believe we are in trouble..." Naruto said.
"Can't believe? You broke the wall!" Sakura shouted and was about to punch him, but she held back. She saw that Naruto was willing to take the pain again. Her eyes softened, and she whispered," but...I'm the one who caused it."
Naruto's lip soon curled into a smile. "Really?" He said, turning to her.
"Yeah...I mean, if I wasn't too offended by the laughing and I actually punched you lightly, then we wouldn't be in this mess," Sakura said. She was staring at her hands that were settled on her lap, "I'm sorry Naruto for that lie I said earlier."
"Thanks Sakura-chan," Naruto said.
Sakura looked at him and smiled, "Sure."
What they didn't noticed was that Sasuke was witnessing this. He held in a smirk as he easedropped on them. Then he heard Naruto turning papers.
"Hey Sakura-chan...Do you think this writing looks familiar?" Naruto asked as he was showing Sakura.
She lifted up an eyebrow and said, "Yeah it looks like-,"
Sasuke had to do something now. He grabbed the water bottle, opened it, and blew a small fire on the water.
"Sakura-chan, do you smell something burning?" Naruto asked as he cut off the pink-haired kunoichi.
"Hmm, now that you mentioned it, yes. ...Oh my god! I think our chairs are going to set on fire!" Sakura said as she got out of her chair. Also Naruto. They started to scream until they saw a black spiky hair. They went over to their chairs again and saw Sasuke, who was using his fire jutsu to heat up water.
They stared at him.
"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked.
Sasuke stopped, and slowly turned to them. Both were shocked, also with their mouths nearly hanging. Well, Naruto's was already, but Sakura placed a hand on her mouth. Yes, Sasuke looked like a complete imbecile. All of them just stared at each other, with a long silence followed it too. It was an awkward moment for Sasuke.
"W-what...are you doing?" Naruto asked.
"I'm...was heating up water," Sasuke replied plainly.
"Why?" They both asked.
"I felt like it."
"But why?"
"I like hot water."
"Why?"
"You can cook with it and later when it cools, you can drink it."
"What the hell!" Naruto said.
"That's a smart idea Sasuke-kun!" Sakura added.
My whole plan just crashed. I was supposed to use the hot water to put in the ramen. Then I could distract Naruto as a place it on the other side of the room. I could easily distract Sakura. But the first step went perfectly well. Hmm... Sasuke thought as he recalled the old man being carried out.
"Do you want me to demonstrate?" Sasuke asked.
"HELL YES!" Sakura squealed.
"HELL NO!" Naruto shouted.
"Look," the Uchiha said as he poured half of the bottle's water into the ramen. And then he drank right out of the bottle too. He threw the ramen outside of the waiting room, which Naruto chased after.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU SASUKE-TEME? I"M COMING RAMEN!" Naruto shouted.
"Here, do you want my germs or something?" He asked as he threw the water outside of the waiting room too, which Sakura chased after.
"GAHHAHAH!" The pink-haired kunoichi went insane as the thought of Sasuke's mouth on the water bottle. It was like kissing him, but a few seconds late though. She started laughing crazily with the idea that her eyes were twitching that mad. Her fingers became witch-like and there was a hint of drool coming from her mouth.
Sasuke immediately grabbed the journal that Naruto left on the seat while the two chase after the pocessions he threw. He smirked as he thought of "Plan B' to be a perfect success.
But, the Uchiha is an idiot for throwing the ramen and the water bottle near the wall Sakura and Naruto broke, or towards Hinata's room.
Hinata soon was able to go since the nurses said that she was allowed. She also greeted her new roommate, which was the old man. Though for saying hello to her roommate, the old man told her to leave him alone since he was in intense pain from his back. The Hyuga frowned, but she slowly walked to the door and opened it. But there, she saw Naruto and Sakura on the ground.
Her eyes widened. She peeked at them through the door and overlistening to what they are saying. I wonder what Naruto-kun was about to say about me...Maybe Sasuke-san was right! Naruto-kun is going to notice me someday, but I didn't know he may have feelings back...Oh, I am so nervous! Please, please, please say Naruto-kun that you like me...
The indigo-haired girl smiled at Naruto.
Please...
Naruto was happily eating his ramen while Sakura was trying to get the last drop of water. The blond quickly finished with his ramen within a minute and then he saw Sakura finishing her water.
Sakura looked at him and remembered something that happened earlier.
"Naruto," she said.
"Yes Sakura-chan!" Naruto said happily as he immediately turned his whole body towards her.
"Do you remember what I asked you earlier today?"
"Hmm, no, actually."
"I had a feeling that you were going to say that..."
"I'm sorry Sakura-chan! I will pay attention more then after this conversation!"
"You idiot! Hmph...But it was about Hinata."
"Oh! What about Hinata?" Naruto titled his head.
"Don't you love or like her?"
"Yeah! Of course!"
"W-what?" Sakura said while showing a smile.
The Hyuga was holding the door handle for support; her face was turning bright red. She was feeling so light-headed that her eyes were going to roll back into her head. But then she snapped out of it and quickly peeked at them again. All this happiness built in her, butterflies were in her stomach, she couldn't breathe normally. She just wanted to run outside and kiss Naruto. Hinata had waited for that moment.
After her moment with Naruto, she would run to Sasuke and give him the biggest hug in his life. She wanted to thank him for everything he has done. He was always with her, made her happy, etc. He had done so much. A smile soon formed on her face as she recalled the times she had spent with Sasuke. Many people thought of his kindness to her was just so weird. But to Hinata, it was like a gift.
Thank you Sasuke-san...Hinata thought as she was about to open the door, but then she heard something else.
"Well of course I love Hinata!" Naruto said while flashing a smile.
"You do? YES!" Sakura squealed.
"I mean, we are like family!"
But, then Sakura paused. "F-family?"
"Yeah! What's wrong with family?"
"What do you mean by family?"
"Like, I often think of you as my wife, Sasuke-teme as the mean brother of mine, and Hinata as my..."
"As your what?"
"Maybe a sister or a daughter!" Naruto said with a smile.
"What!" Sakura shouted, grabbed Naruto, and started to shake the hell out of him.
But then she stopped as she saw Hinata's room door open, and appeared the lavender eyes with the indigo hair. Sakura's eyes widened as she saw some tears falling from the Hyuga's eyes and had a forced smile on her face.
"Hinata!" Sakura said as she ran to her, "did...d-did you hear that?"
"I-its...okay," Hinata said as she looked at Naruto, who looked back at her. She smiled at him while Naruto stared at her.
"Hinata, is something wrong?" Naruto asked.
"I...I j-just need s-some fresh air!" Hinata said quickly as she ran towards the exit. She wanted to get away from them as soon as possible.
"Hinata!" Both of them screamed.
She heard their footsteps, but Hinata kept on running. She clenched her fists with tears flowing in her eyes, which made it hard to see. She wanted to get out of the hospital as soon as possible. Hinata didn't care if she still had that bandage on her nose; it will just heal anyways. Her heart broke into a million of pieces, hearing what Naruto thought of her.
Just hurry out! Hinata thought.
Sasuke decided to head to the exit since he was going to leave the journal back at his house. He thought about Hinata while walking there. His hands formed into a fist while he stared at the ground.
I...love you, Hinata-chan. Why could it be easy for me to say that in front of her face. If only I was quicker saying I love her, then maybe I could have beaten the idiot. But of course, she could still pick him over me.
Then, he looked at his journal, and remembered the day when he questioned why he received the journal.
Sasuke looked at the book he was writing in.
'Why am I writing in this stupid book? It is like a diary for girls or gay guys! I mean...Come on Kakashi-sensei! Why did he give me a journal? To write perverted entries?' He thought as he shoved the book into his drawer.
"I will just go outside for a walk to take things out of my mind."
The Uchiha prodigy closed the door behind him and walked.
"So how's the journal coming along?" Kakashi said as he popped out of a tree.
"...Why did you give me it?"
The masked man lowered his book and said, "You will see. Oh! I got to go!"
The Uchiha remembered that day. Also the stupid reason why Kakashi left because Icha Icha Paradise were having a .0001 percent off sale. Sasuke stared at the journal and stopped right in front of the hospital's exit door. The doors remained opened as Sasuke stood there, still staring into the cover of his journal.
By this book, it shows me slowly falling in love with Hinata...Her blushing... smile... laugh, hair, eyes... breath, hands...cheeks, hugs, body, grace...care, and strength. But, I know there is more to her than this.
Soon, a small smile appeared on his face of his memories with Hinata.
"HINATA!"
Sasuke turned around slowly and there right in front of him was Hinata, running full speed with eyes closed. It looked like she was in pain or something. His eyes widened as he noticed that she wasn't going to stop.
"Hinata st-," he was cut off by Hinata making him fall.
Sasuke opened his eyes and noticed that Hinata was on top of him, with eyes opened too. A blush crept on his face and he couldn't breathe. It was the exact opposite of what happened when he ran into Hinata.
"I bet I am going to reach the park before you!" Naruto said while laughing.
'Can't lose to the dobe.' Sasuke thought as he picked up speed.
Sasuke gave the blonde a strange look because it seemed that Naruto was talking to himself, very loudly. Once he heard he can't lose to Sasuke, he used all of his strength to beat him there. He saw Naruto turn around, but then Sasuke pushed him aside. Sasuke looked back and smirked to himself until he bumped into someone. Hard.
He fell on someone, but was small and soft. Sasuke opened his eyes only to see that he was on top of Hinata. She was blushing more than Sakura's hair.
"U-um...S-Sasuke...Cou-could y-you pl-please g-ge-get o-off o-of m-me?" Hinata stuttered.
Hinata was blushing heavily. Their faces were so close, just by maybe a few centimeters.
"H-Hinata-chan..." Sasuke said quietly.
She was shocked. Sasuke...Sasuke-san called me Hinata-chan... Her blush became even redder.
Their lips were just probably four centimeters away. Both of their hearts were pounding.
"Sasuke..." Hinata said without stuttering. Then she noticed a book Sasuke was holding. Her eyes widened as she thought of the journal Naruto was reading earlier. It was the same exact thing. It had a tan cover, with a red ribbon wrapped around it.
"Hinata! Sasuke-kun!" Sakura shouted as they arrived there. She helped Hinata get up and also Sasuke.
Naruto came right behind her, and then noticed Sasuke holding something.
"Hey! Sasuke-teme! The journal! I didn't know you stole that from me!" Naruto said as he grabbed it right out of Sasuke's hands.
"I didn't steal that..."
"What? Hahaha! What are you trying to say Sasuke?" Naruto said.
"..."
"Sasuke? Nevermind, Hinata, are you okay?" Naruto asked.
"I'm sorry you had to hear that!" Sakura said as she held on to Hinata, "Naruto didn't mean it!"
Hinata forced a smile, but she blushed when Naruto grabbed her hand and asked her if it was something that he said. She shook her head, but lowered her it.
Sasuke couldn't handle it anymore. He clenched his fist, and anger started to boil in him. He wasn't going to let this slip right out of his hands. The Uchiha glared at Naruto. It just would have to admit it.
"I wrote that journal!" Sasuke shouted.
Naruto and Sakura stared at him with utter shock, but it seemed that it was less surprising for Hinata since she was suscipious of Sasuke carrying the journal.
"What?" The two of his teammates asked.
"The reason why I wrote that...because...because...I love...you, Hinata-chan!" He shouted even louder.
W-What? No, I...Sasuke, I...Hinata couldn't think as she stared at him; their eyes locked. She was shock. She felt like her heart skipped a beat after hearing that. She was about to faint after hearing this, but she couldn't do it. It's like something was keeping her stand. Her blush became very noticeable that it was like her face was a tomato, but with blue hair on it.
"What?" This time, it was louder, and it wasn't all from Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata.
Sasuke turned to look behind and find out, that everyone was there. Chouji, Shikamaru, Ino, and Asuma had flowers for Hinata due to her 'nose injury'. Neji, Tenten, Lee, and Gai had balloons that had 'Happy Birthday' crossed out and were replaced by: 'I hope your nose will get better soon!'. Also, Shino and Kiba, along with Akamaru by his side, had a present for her that was wrapped into purple with a red ribbon on top.
Kakashi and Kurenai were behind everyone since they were running from Tsunade, followed by Jiraiya and Shizune, due to the rumor Kiba had spread. All of them stopped dead in their tracks.
Also to top everything off, Hiashi and Hanabi were there too. All of them, were shocked.
...Review? XD please :)
Note: I know I re-updated again, but I just wanted you guys to know that I am still continuing this story. Though it is going to take some time. I might even put this story on hiatus, but I don't know. I didn't feel like putting an author's note either so I just put this on the last chapter. Anyways, I am currently working on the next chapter and I might put it up around Christmas vacation.
But I will love to thank you all for the wonderful support you guys gave me! This is what I keeps me going, and I will try to post the next chapter during winter break! :)
