Chapter 4 - Hinata cont'd...cont'd.
Submitted July 31, 2007 Updated September 14, 2007 Status Incomplete | Whose idea was it, anyway? That there would be nine rookies at a time? Why did it have to be an odd number, so everyone could pair themselves up, but someone would be left alone? And why is that someone Ino? HEAVY YAOI/YURI

Chapter 4 - Hinata cont'd...cont'd.
Naruto does not belong to me.
This is the last thing I'll be able to post for at least a week or so, due to school and conventions and shoot I HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO ON THAT COSTUME...so, yeah. That's about it.
And, the title? Bout time I explained that...yeah. Notice how the only straight girls from the first chapter just got paired together, pretty much? Yeah. That leaves only guys...who, it seems obvious will be paired with each other...meaning that there won't be any straight couples, and thus no two people who will reproduce, and thus Leaf Village will die because nobody's having kids. It was based off a covnersation with a friend.

TenTen sighed awkwardly as Ino left her to find Sakura. This normally wouldnt have been an issue, but Hinata still had tears pouring down her face, and TenTen didnt know what to do with people when they cried. She usually wanted to be alone, and she wanted to give Hinata some space, but Ino said that she had to make sure nothing happened to Hinata, and she also knew that when she got depressed like that, she personally had a tendancy to want to hurt somethingusually herself, for whatever reason, and TenTen feared what Ino would do to her if Hinata were to hurt herself.
TenTen sat on the floor of the handicapped stall in the girls bathroom with Hinata, each of them in different corners. They had been sitting there for five minutes, when they heard the door open. However, it didnt sound like Ino, and sure enough, the person walked into a random stall, followed half a minute or so later by the flush of a toilet, then the sink water running and the hand-dryer blowing. The door to the bathroom opened and closed, and the visitor was gone.
Meanwhile, Ino looked through the food court for Sakura, and found her not too far from the ice cream stand, eating cone of strawberry ice cream slowly and hesitantly. Ino marched up to the pink-haired girl, whose eyes brightened when they saw Ino coming forward. Ino! There you are! Ive been looking for
Do you know how upset Hinata is? Ino demanded.
Huh? Sakura asked, caught off-guard. Hinata? Oh, yeah, I guess she did kind of run off&
Didnt you see that she was crying? Ino asked sharply. Didnt you see her sprinting to the bathroom with her hand to her face to wipe her tears away?
Um&no, I didnt, Sakura admitted, suddenly feeling a lot of emotionssurprise, sorrow, worry, guilt, regretbut, really, mostly surprise and worry. I-Im sorry, I didnt see that she was&oh, shoot, Im so sorry&
Say that to her face then, Ino snapped. Come on, shes in the bathroom. Im sure nothing would make your appology more obvious than trying to help her get her eyes back in after shes cried them out.
Sakura nodded vigorously and guiltily. Y-yes, I think I will& She smiled sadly, guiltily, pleadingly. A-and, have I ever said&I mean, I dont mean to change the subject or anything, but, it just struck me&youre especially beautiful when youre angry, she told Ino, regret in her face and her voice that she had to change the subject like that.
Ino huffed, then her eyes snapped open a little wider. Wait&do you mean&seriously? You seriously think that of me?
U-um, Sakura stalled, well&you are really beautiful&and&well, Im glad that your boyfriend helped you to cheer up, but&I kind of wish that&you know&you were still single&then I would&um&yeah&
Ino sighed, rubbing her forehead. Okay, I think I see a lot more of what happened. She sighed again. Yeah, okay. Great. Um&well, thats awkward, she admitted, almost smiling painfully. Great. Perfect. Well& She took a deep breath. I never said I have a boyfriend, Id like to point out&
Sakuras eyes lit up. Th-then, maybe&will you&?
No, Im taken, Ino said reproachfully. Um&yeah&
Sakuras eyes fell, but it took her a moment, then they snapped back up, a bit angrily. You meanyou have a girlfriend?
Um&yeah, I do, Ino admitted. So&hey, what do you think of Hinata? she asked, half changing the subject and half trying to make up to Hinata.
Sakura looked away a little. Oh&well, Hinatas&yeah, shes kind of cute, but shes not as
Im not asking like that, Im asking because&oh, just come on, lets go talk to Hinata, Ino reminded, pulling Sakura up by the arm. Shes waiting for youand, wait till you meet my girlfriend, shes great, I know youll just love her&
Sakura sighed wistfully, barely being brought to a standing height, and obviously a lot more lifeless than Ino had hoped.
Umm& Ino thought for a second. Look, come on! Talk to Hinatashes a great girl, you two should really talk more! Hinatas wonderful, shes beautifulreally, I dont see where you got this idea that Im pretty, Hinatas just gorgeous! Andreally, just, come, and see her, she wants to see you, she wants to talk to you, she wants to&she wants to help me make it up to you that Im going out with TenTen instead, Ino mumbled the last part, not really sure how else to phrase it.
What? Sakura asked dully. Im sorry, I didnt hear that last part&
Come on Sakura, Ino insisted, starting to get a little angry at her friend. You made Hinata crygo and appologize to her!
Sakura sighed again, her eyes closed, but opened them again with a certain unwilling determination in them, an emotion of duty no matter how reluctant she was to do it. She nodded, and started to walk toward the bathroom of her own will. Ino smiled after her friend before she followed.
When they arrived in the bathroom, Ino recognized it to be TenTens voice insisting, Come on, this is really cute! And, and putting it onthatll help cheer you up, and you wont look as much like youd just been crying when she comes!
Ino cleared her throat. When who comes?
Huh? Oh! Ino! TenTen exclaimed, slightly surprised. Um, Hinata? A brief silence, then, Okay, Ill go for a momentum, yeah&come out when youre done, she told over her shoulder as she came out from the handicapped stall. She looked up and smiled awkwardly, then her expression cleared as she examined Sakura. When shed looked at the pink-haired girl head-to-toe, she smiled. Well, I most certainly can see why she likes you so much&
Who? Ino? Sakura asked hopefully.
No, someone else, TenTen answered vaguely. Not myself, and not Ino. Someone else.
Who? Sakure asked again, sounding more surprised or anxious.
TenTen grinned mischeviously. Thats for me to know and you to&well, yeah, shell probably tell you, sooner or later, so, yeahthats for me to know and you to find out!
The door to the stall TenTen came out of opened, and Hinata came partially out, hiding about half of her body behind the stall wall, wearing the clothes that Sakura had helped her pick out. U-um&s-s-s-Sakura? she started, blushing pretty hard and looking like she was about to start crying again.
Sakura felt extreme pangs of pity, sorrow, regret, and maybe something else in her heart. She felt her eyes start to sting with tears shed for her friend, tears to show her friend that she could cry for her, tears to show Hinata that she didnt have to cry anymore because Sakura was there to cry them for her. The tears ran down her face while Sakura nearly ran to envelope Hinata in a great hug, sobbing all the while, Im sorry, I didnt know that I&Im so sorry, Im sorry, I really am&
Hinata didnt say anything, because she was waiting, either for Sakura to stop talking so she could be heard or for her own tears to subside and for herself to calm down more. Finally, when Sakura stopped talking, some five minutes later, she took a deep breath and said, S-Sakura, I, well&I guess its my fault, I shouldnt have&insisted o-on buying you ice cream, wh-when you were so upset about I-Ino&I-I should have realized that you werent going to be reasonable, and I shouldnt have reacted like that when
H-Hinata, Sakura interrupted, please stop. Its okay. Its not your faultyou cant help th-the way you react, a-and, of course you wanted to buy me ice c-cream, I, I, well&I dont know, I just should have known that you would have been so insistant, and I should have& She stopped abruptly in a sudden laugh. Is all this seriously only over an ice cream cone? Wow, were&s-strange&
Hinata took a deep breath and said, S-s-s-Saku&s-s-Sakura&I-I-I should h-have s-said it s-sooner&I-I sh-should have s-said it, i-instead of t-tr-trying to b-buy you ice cream&b-but&I&s-s-Sakura&I-I-I-I, I-I&
She loves you, TenTen finished for Hinata, earning a hard glare and a pinch from Ino. Ow!
Sakura smiled. Hinata&I should have realized it when we were talking earlier&so, its my fault, and I dont want you to think otherwise. And, Hinata?
Y-y-yes? Hinata asked.
Sakura sighed. I love you too.
