Chapter Fifty-Five: Separation

Hinata tried to forget what her teammates warned her of. Tried to enjoy being with him. However the seed of doubt in her heart grew and being with him only made her confused.

Not once had he said that he loved her. At first, she'd enjoyed just being with him, but the more time went on, the more things went undiscussed, the more uncertain she became.

What was she to Sasuke?

So when the chance came to go on an extended mission, she took it. She needed time to figure her feelings out.

She didn't want to be hurt again.
