Born To Be Real, Not Perfect!

Chapter 9 Venturing In

-Chapter 9 -

~ Hinata's POV ~

I took in a deep breath before composing myself. "You'll have to excuse me for just now, let just say this was the last place I'd expected to see you again. But then again-" I took in a deep breath. "I never planned on seeing you again Sasuke Uchiha."

I immediately turned to Neji, with sudden anger boiling as I quickly looked for answers, though he simply sat there staring down at his lap. "Well? Say something." He looked up at me but said nothing, though the look in his eyes said everything I needed to know, as I balled up my fists, looking back once more at the guy from my past, before running out the door, with the sound of Tenten yelling my name.

~ Tenten's POV ~

"Hinata!" I yelled as I watched her run out the door. I quickly turned to Neji who simply sat there staring into his cup. "Hey! Mind telling us what the hell just happened!?" Though instead of a response from Neji I got one from Oji.

"Well, it's sure has been a while hasn't it Sasuke? Gotta say the last time I saw you was probably when you and Hinata were still on speaking terms. Well, when all of you guys were still on speaking terms. And the last time I ever heard your name come out of her mouth was probably when Hinata was expelled." Oji's expression darkened. "Yeah, right after you bastards stabbed my little sister in the back."

The room was quiet and the atmosphere was heavy. No one dared to say a word as we watched both Sasuke and Oji stare daggers at one another.

Oji's never looked so serious, I don't even think Tenko has ever seen him like this.

Suddenly the guy moved as he headed out the door, but not without Oji following behind him. "Hey, bastard were the hell do you think you're going-" Neji quickly stopped him before he could go any further. "Now what the hell do you want!?"

"She needs this."

"Like hell she does! It's their fault! If she was never expelled then maybe, just maybe she..." His voice was beginning to creak, and we all heard it. Oji didn't say another word as he left the kitchen, slamming the basement door. Tenko gave me a sympathetic look before running after Oji.

I looked back at Ino and Temari, who looked just as concerned as I did. The only thing we truly got out of all of this was probably the fact that we really didn't know Hinata as well as we thought we did.

~ No POV ~

She ran all the way out of the woods and once she was on that grovel path she was already out of breath. This didn't make any sense, she could run for hours without breathing this hard, but why after such a sort run did her heartbeat this fast.

This made absolutely no sense.

Her chest was burning, her head pounding and her thoughts racing. Damn this was really not her day. She flinched when she heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind her. Though before she could do anything, Sasuke was already gripping her wrist and pulling her along.

"Hey! Let go of me!"

Sasuke looked back at Hinata for a second as he then continued to pull her along the groove path.

Hinata's eyebrow twitched at his sudden actions. "How is anyone suppose to know what you want when you don't say anything." Though of course, she knew exactly what he wanted. He wanted to talk but she couldn't help but hesitate.

She could easily break away from his grasp, though unsure whether to go back or follow this boy, which she had no intention of reconnecting with,...she stayed.
