Chapter 21
Take me or Leave me
Hinata Hyuga felt like her life was going in slow motion. She had decide what was the best for her.
The talk with her uncle had slightly opened her eyes, open her eyes to the cold ice truth.
Hinata made her way to the detention room while the rest of the student passed by her, it was like she wasn't there. To her it felt more like she was out of her body, watching herself from the air.
In a quick motion she open the door, where all the people that had accepted her sat all together, moving along the cords of the guitar that Sakura played.
"Hey Hinata, you're just in time. Ino and Sakura are about to have a diva off" Kiba said, pulling her into the group. Hinata stood awkwardly beside Kiba and Naruto as she blankly stared at both girls.
Sakura: Every single day
I walk down the street
I hear people say,
"Baby's so sweet"
Ever since puberty
Everybody stares at me
Boys - girls
I can't can't help it baby
So be kind
Don't lose your mind
Just remember that I'm your baby
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby or leave me
A tiger in a cage
Can never see the sun
This diva needs her stage
Baby - let's have fun!
You are the one I choose
Folks'd kill to fill your shoes
You love the limelight too, baby
So be mine
Or don't waste my time
Cryin' - "Honeybear - are you still my baby?"
Ino rolled her eyes, annoyed by Sakura's cocky aptitude.
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
No way - can I be what I'm not
But hey - don't you want your girl hot!
Don't fight - don't lose your head
Cause every night - who's in your bed?
Who's in your bed, baby?
Kiss, Pookie.
Ino: It won't work.
I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make lists in my sleep
Baby what's my sin?
Never quit - I follow through
I hate mess - but I love you
What to do
With my impromptu baby
So be wise
This girl satisfies
You've got a prize
But don't compromise
You're one lucky baby
Take me for what I am
Sakura: A control freak
Ino: Who I was meant to be
Sakura: A snob - yet over-attentive
Ino: And if you give a damn
Sakura: A lovable, droll geek
Ino: Take me baby or leave me
Sakura: And anal retentive
Both
That's it!
Ino: The straw that breaks my back
Both
I quit
Ino: Unless you take it back
Both
Women
Sakura: What is it about them?
Both
Can't live -
With them -
Or without them!
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby
Or leave me
Guess I'm leavin'
I'm gone!
They both finished, their breath hitch and deep. "It's obvious I'm better than you Ino-pig" Sakura said, a smirk still place on her lips.
"In your dreams forehead girl" Ino growled. She stepped away from Sakura and looked around the group, she then smiled. "Shikamaru will decide who is the best" To this Sakura frowned and glared at the blonde girl in front of her.
"Shikamaru? Why Shikamaru?" Sakura said through gritted teeth.
"Because he's the only one who can be fair" Ino said. She turn to her very nervous boyfriend who weakly tried to hide himself behind Choji. "Tell us Shikamaru-kun... who is the best?" She said batting her eyelashes and rubbing her fingers up and down his arm, like she knew he liked.
"That's cheating you pig" Sakura yelled which made Ino smirk herself.
"I don't know what are you talking about" She said, looking at the pink hair girl with the corner of the eye, while the girl in question fumed. "Come Shika-kun... tell us" She asked once again.
Shikamaru sighed and looked around his friend and then looked down at his flirty girlfriend. "You were both great. Your talents are equal" He said after a couple of minutes of silence.
"What?" Both girl yelled at the lazy brunette.
Hinata watched as both girl had settle aside their difference and work together to yelled at the poor boy. "Hinata?" Naruto called softly her name as he touched her shoulder.
"Yes?" She asked, turning around. Her eyes met with Naruto's and she felt like her inside's were breaking all over again.
"Is there something wrong? You seem sad" He said. Hinata stared at him as her eyes started to filled with tears. "Hinata?" He said softly but tears started flowing down her cheeks.
"I have to stop hanging out with you guys" She suddenly yelled. The room went silent and she knew every eye was on her.
"What?" Naruto asked.
"I-I-I need to stop hanging out with you guys and break anything that would affect my future" She said softly.
"What does that mean?" Naruto asked, as his fist visibly clenched with anger. "What are we not good enough for you to be with us? Did you let your uncle brain wash you like you let your father do?"
"Don't bring my father into this Naruto!" Hinata yelled. "Beside my uncle didn't brain wash me, I think for myself now and I've decide that I need to be away from things that can affect my future. It was my decision"
"Then leave if you want!" He yelled back, stunning her with his harsh words. "You think this is all a game, that you are the only one that suffers every time you leave! We get affected too and you don't think about us, you only think about you"
"That is not true!" Hinata said, tears once again starting to fall.
"It is true. Every since you came back you've been different. To you it seemed great but you don't see what I see. I see a spoiled girl who only thinks about herself" Naruto growled.
"Right! Because you want the old Hinata. Who was weak and you could manipulate all you want"
"The only one who thought that you were weak was yourself. The old Hinata was kind and cheerful and nice and fun to be around with. She was strong and unique and her own amazing way" He glared at her, but his eyes were also filled with tears that he made sure that would not fall. "Maybe you are right. Maybe you shouldn't hang out with us. I'll make this easy for you Hinata. It's over"
"Fine" Hinata yelled.
"Then leave!" Naruto yelled back. Hinata grabbed her back and exist the room, ignoring every eye and every look as she left.
Like he had said. It was over.
