Chapter 8: Hinata

Sakura sat down and looked at Hinata who was staring at the note in her hand. "Oh, right. Sorry Sensei. Tsunade Sensei wrote me a note for staying with her for so long."

"Your excussed. I'm glad to see that you remembered my last warning." He never looked up from his book but pointed at the new assignments on the board. Gaara glanced at them then started to work. Sakura sat back down next to Hinata. Hinata gave her a few pieces of paper. She knew that she only needed one for the assignments. The other one was for her to pass a note on. She tore off a little piece and handed it to Hinata. It was only her address. She quickly told her that Gaara was going to join them for dinner. Hinata asked why and Sakura said that he liked her and wanted Sakura to ask her if she would go out with him. She watched Hinata's face drop. She laughed a little but didn't laugh loud enough so that anyone would notice. Hinata scribbled some words on the piece of paper, when Sakura got it back it said; Whoa, didn't see that coming at all. She wrote back, so do you like him and want to go out with him?

Hinata got the paper back from her and quickly wrote back; yes but I don't want to ask him out I want him to ask me out. She wrote down that she would tell Gaara that and then they would see where things go. Hinata smile and Sakura finished her work in the littlest amount of time. She rushed up to Kakashi Sensei's desk and set the paper on it and walked back to her table. She watched and waited for others to turn in there papers. Gaara was the first one to turn his in after Sakura. Then he walked past Sakura and she handed him a folded piece of paper. Sasuke was next and he just turned it in and sat right back down. Lee was next and then Chouji and Neji and then Hinata turned hers in and walked past Gaara and retrieved the paper from him and gave it back to Sakura with out even thinking about it.

Sakura opened it and scribbled something Hinata couldn't quite make out. Is Gaara really going to ask me out? I always thought he didn't like me! But he really has liked me? For how long? The last school bell rang and Hinata walked out with Sakura. They ran into Kakashi Sensei.

"Kakashi." Said Sakura.

"Yes, Sakura?"

"Can you cut down on bringing me the food please?" She said with a smile. Kakashi shot her a look that could kill. "Oh, no worries we can trust her."

"Sure. Sakura we can't trust anyone. I don't believe that you told her the whole truth. So I'll be careful of what I say. We can not trust anyone. The only people you can trust are Tsunade and my self. We have to keep you safe and you know why." Hinata gave them both a confused look. "Sakura you have got to be careful of what you tell people and who you tell." Sakura walked away from him and grabbed Hinata's hand walked away.

"Don't pay attention to him. He is telling the truth in all of it it's just somethings I can't tell you and others you won't understand. I gave you the most of it in the bathroom earlier but I can't tell you everything or I would." She said as she let go of her hand they walked to Hinata's house.

"Okay, I won't pay attention. But look there's my mom we can ask her now and then she can meet Tsunade as your mom and not just the school principal or detention Sensei." They walked up to her mom and she gave her a hug. "Hey mom. You've met Sakura before. Well she wants me to stay at her house. You can meet her mom. Well you already have met her mom."

"Oh, really? Well then if I meet her mom and think everything is okay for you to stay then you can. But just who is your mom Sakura I never heard you mention her before."

"Oh, my mom is Tsunade Sensei. You've probably met her but not as my mom."

"Oh, Tsunade never mentioned she has a daughter. Well then again we've only met when it had something to do with Hinata."

"Yeah, she like to keep her business strictly business."

"I see well Hinata you might as well get your stuff packed I'll drop you two off." Hinata saw Sakura pull out her phone and text someone she was sure it was Tsunade but she wasn't sure.

Sakura whispered, "Tsunade is at the house waiting for us. So I will tell Sasuke and Naruto that they can come over at seven but no earlier. I already told Gaara no earlier that seven thirty. Just to be safe." Hinata nodded and took off into her room and packed her bag.

When Hinata walked back out side her mom asked, "So where do you and Tsunade live Sakura?"

"Oh, umm go up to the first stop light make a right and go down three blocks and make a left its the small green house."

"I didn't know you guys lived so close Sakura."

They arived in a little over ten minutes. Tsunade had the door opened and her and Kakashi walked outside. Oh, no I thought we agreed that he wouldn't be here? My mom will never let me stay now. "Well I'll be leaving now." He said as they walked up. Good so he is leaving and not saying he's here as her dad. I don't think that he would say he was her dad anyway.

"Oh, I didn't know that Kakashi knew where you lived also, does he come here often?"

"Uh, no he doesn't look here's my mom."
