The Return of the Hyuga (Nightly's continuation)

The Date

- -Naruto's Pov- -
I was first for the one time in my life. It was important...was it? I shook my head, trying remove those thoughts out of my head. Of course it is! I told myself. "Ok the Picnic is perfect, nice view of the village, nice food that isn't ramen, blankets if the breeze tries to ruin this moment. I have everything!" I said out loud, looking at everything in front of me: The small stereotypical food basket, a big red blanket to sit on and napkins just in case. This is what Hinata recommended I told myself. I shook my head again, trying again to remove those thoughts out of my head. "Naruto?" I heard a voice call out for me. I look to see Sakura, who was wearing her usual shinobi clothing  as I wore something more casual; simple black t-shirt and some orange pants that weren't exercises pants. Shino helped me find it. Yeah, Shino. "Oh hey Sakura-chan" I answered back, smiling my usual bright smile. Some of it wasn't real. "Oh a Picnic. That's very...." she said, hesitating her last words. "It's...nice, especially the view" she said, turning towards the village. "Yeah, it's my favourite view of the village" I said. "Here, I made use some nice sandwiches" I said looking through inside the picnic basket and pulling out two wrapped sandwiches. "Thanks..." she said smiling, sitting down and unwrapping the sandwich. That wasn't a real smile. My own smile began to go down as I looked at her. She was sitting awkwardly and seemed...disappointed? I tried to start a conversation with her about missions and how she was doing with the training under Lady Tsunade. She just nodded back and barely talked back, just looking down.

Why did I ask him out? I don't even like him. I'm just desperate after Sasuke rejection. Naruto was trying his hardest to start conversations but even when I myself asked him out, I was still ignoring him and only thinking about Sasuke. Can you blame me? "Why a picnic?" I asked out of the blue, scared of the sudden. I tried looking at him but a sudden pain came over me, stopping me from moving. What is this? I thought. "Oh, well Hinata recommended it to me-" He cut himself before finishing the sentence. "She did?" I asked to the ground. Why am I like this? I asked myself. I turned to him, only looking at his legs and tried to apologize but I couldn't. I need someone, Anyone! I told myself. I can't mess this up! I re told myself and tried once again to look at him in the eyes but when eyes met him, I was at a lost of words.
"You don't like do you Sakura" He told coldly, his eyes filled with a sudden explosion of realization.

I stood up after telling what I felt.
"You don't care about me. You only asked me out because Sasuke said no to you, is it? I tried my hardest and I'm still ignored. I thought I had chance. I guess I didn't really, why did I think I did? I'm leaving"
Was it the right thing to say? Probably not. Probably could've said nicer with softer words but would the true message change? No, it wouldn't. As i walked down, I saw Hinata and Kakashi talking. They were deep into their conversations. I suddenly felt a sudden pain in my chest. I gripped my shirt, over my fast beating heart. Was it going on? I asked myself as I began to run. I was going to run towards my apartment but I felt like running more. And more and more. And more again, running past Kakashi-Sensei and Hinata. Tears were flowing through my face as i reached a small river. It calmed me down as I began to wash my face. After reaching a calm breathing rate and heartbeat, I sat down and thought of what just happened.

Do I like.....

Hinata?
