Chapter Eight: Gateway
Hinata didn't react the way he expected, she simply stayed quiet for a moment, then replied, "He knows."
Sasuke cocked an eyebrow, "He knows?"
She nodded, "I told him."
Sasuke took in her expression, she was calm and resigned. She didn't expect him to return her love.
He felt the uncharacteristic urge to apologize, but it wasn't in his nature, and he stayed silent.
They stood there for a moment longer, the crowd around Naruto had begun to disperse. Hinata began to leave and he knew he had to say something.
"Hinata?"
"Yes?"
"Goodbye."
