Chapter 12

"Where is Sakura?" Everyone seemed to ask that following Monday. Gaara came up to her early that morning.

"Well hello beautiful." He whispered in her ear and Naruto gave them a jealous/envious face. He kissed Tenten and they walked away quickly. Gaara made a nervous laugh. Sasuke quickly ran up to them.

"Hinata I need to talk to you, now!" He said as fought to catch his breath.

"Anything you need to say, you can say it with me standing here." Gaara said impatiently.

"Fine, I know where Sakura is."

Hinata's face automatically lifted with happiness and excitement to see her best friend. "WHERE? Why did you wait to tell me until now?"

"Because I just spoke to Tsunade and came straight to you. She is with Kakashi! I don't think she went willingly."

"Wait you're saying Kakashi kidnapped her?" Gaara asked.

"I think."

"No you don't know anything. Kakashi wouldn't take her with out her going willingly. She trust him. They wouldn't just pick up and run away either! You don't know anything about Kakashi and Sakura! None of you do!" Hinata yelled and she bolted to the darkest corner of the school. On her way she passed Naruto and Tenten. She heard them talking.

"I have to go see what she is crying about." Naruto said to Tenten.

"No just leave her be. I'm sure she's fine. Stay here with me." She begged.

"No I have to go and see if she's alright."

"If you walk away after another girl it's over."

"You sound to much like Ino. I'm going to check on her. If it's over because of that then I made the worst mistake of my entire life." Then he ran off after Hinata. He saw her sitting in the fetal position. He crouched down beside her. "Hey, are you okay?"

"No! Sakura and Kakashi are both gone and no one knows where they went and everyone thinks Kakashi took her against her will. But I know so much more about them then everyone else does. No one has the right to accuse him of doing that! No one understands! I don't get it Naruto!" She started punching him. She stood up and so did he. He continued to let her hit him. When she finally gave up and broke down crying he embraced her in a long hug. She cried against his chest. "Why would Sakura go and leave me like this Naruto. She was my best friend."

"She's not dead Hinata she'll be back someday. I promise. School gets out in a little over a month. When school is out, if she isn't back, you and I will go and look for her. I promise."

"Really? Do you mean it Naruto? Just me and you?" She asked between sobs.

"Yeah. Just you and I." He said into her hair as he buried his head into her neck.

"Hey, you two it's almost time for class." Gai said as he stumbled across them on his way to fill in for Kakashi.

"Yes Sensei." Naruto said so Hinata didn't have to speak. "Do you feel well enough to go to class or do you need to see Tsunade. I can take you there if you wish."

"No, I'll be alright, I appreciate the offer though."

"No problem lets get to class." They turned around to see Gaara staring at them.

"Oh, hello Gaara." Naruto said plainly, clearly not trying to hide his feelings for Hinata anymore, especially around Gaara.

"Hello, good-bye." He said as he turned around and stormed back to class.

"I think he's pretty mad." Naruto said. (A/N Boring stuff going on at school during lessons. Meanwhile back with Kakashi and Sakura.)

"What are you going on about now?" Kakashi asked into the air because Sakura was listening to music on her iPod. She was mumbling the words to 'Bad Boy'. "Ugh. I swear the music she listens to." He reached his hand over to get her attention, only it happened in the wrong way.

She slapped his hand as hard as she possible could. Her jaw dropped and she gasped before speaking. "What the FUCK do you think you're doing old man?"

"I was trying to get you're attention. For your information, I AM NOT OLD!"

"Jeeze a little sensitive on the age subject. It's okay, but I don't think you're silver hair fools anyone."

"It's natural. And I am not sensitive about my age."

"Sure you're not. And really? Your hair is naturally that color? It didn't come out of a box."

"Nope I haven't met anyone who's hair color came out of a box. Well except maybe you."

"Hell no. My hair is natural also. Pink, pink, pink. That's what my mother said when she saw my hair when I was born. Or so I was told."

"Yeah. Let's find another subject please."

"Is my pinkness bothering you?"

"As a matter of fact yes, it is."

"How rude!"

"Not as rude as you're language. Do you eat with that mouth also?"

"Well yes." She said as she shoved a huge bite of the already half eaten hamburger in her mouth.

"God, pig."

She swallowed almost whole and yelled, "TAKE IT BACK!"

"Oh, so that's what makes you mad."

"YES, NOW TAKE IT BACK."

"I don't think I will."

"NOW!"

"Fine. I take it back."

"Bleck you baka I can't believe you."

"What?"

"You called me a pig!"

"You eat like one."

"I do not eat, act, or look like Ino. So there is no reason to call me a fucking pig!"

"There was no 'fucking' in that sentence where I called you a pig."

"You pervert."

"That wasn't meant to sound wrong. Looks like you're the pervert now."

"No I'm still not as bad as you. Tell me you had to of think that that was wrong."

"I did but I wasn't going to say anything until you caught on."

"Well I caught on fast. Jesus anything I say around you sounds wrong."

"Yes, yes it does." He laughed. The first time she had ever really heard him laugh.
