- Chapter 11 -

"Hinata?"

"Naruto."

The two teens stared at one another for what felt like hours, neither of the two dared to say a word.

A thousand things ran through Hinata's mind, she wasn't ready for this, meeting him was the last thing she expected, hell she was already having a bad day and fate just had to toss her a curveball.

"Hinata?"

But what did she expect? Maybe she should have bought that lucky rabbit's foot at the airport's souvenir shop after all. Hell, maybe she should have bought all of them with the luck she's been having.

"Hinata?"

Wait! Maybe it's because she didn't buy them is the reason why she's having such bad luck. Does superstition work that way? No, that's just stupid.

"Hinata!"

"What!" She quickly covered her mouth, as she quickly realized who she was yelling at. "Oh God, I-I'm so sorry. I-It's just been a really long day." Her face was beginning to burn, she could feel it. She quickly covered her face as she began to scream inside her head. 'I can't believe I stuttered!'

"Pft!" Her eyes widened when she heard him laugh and her heart skipped a beat when she saw him smile.

What was happening right now? Her heart hasn't beat this fast since...well since she last saw him leave 5 years ago, when he promised to bring her back some silly saviour from his trip with Sasuke and how she promised to be the first one to greet them when they came back.

She never got the chance to fulfill that promise.

Suddenly her eyes began to water, as something felt like it had just got caught in her throat. She brought the back of her hand to the nose, as she could feel it begin to run. Her chest hurt, but then again it had been doing that a lot lately. She tried to wipe away the tears but only more fell.

When she looked up at him she realized he wasn't laughing anymore and that the whole room was now staring. How embarrassing, she wished that she could disappear, why the hell was she crying in the first place? Did she miss him this much?

At that moment she didn't know what to think, but crying in front of a bunch of strangers wasn't going to solve anything. Though just as she was about the make a mad dash for the door, Naruto grabbed her wrist. His eyes giving her a pleading look to stay.

He looked around, noticing the gazing looks as his stare alone caused them all to look away.

Before long he was guiding them to the other side of the pub, where there were fewer people and somewhere quite for them to talk. He gave her second to calm down, before speaking. "Hinata what are you doing here?"

"Well, that's kind of a long story. My parents-"

"No, that's not what I mean. What are you doing here? In this place, at this pub. The bus doesn't let students off at this village. So how did you get here?"

"I fell out of the bus."

"You what?!"

"I'm fine! I fell on a nice soft patch of grass, not even a single scratch. See." She could tell he didn't believe her, she could see it on his face, though she watched how a smile began to curve onto his lips as her heart skipped another beat.

"You haven't changed Hinata. You still don't like it when people worry about you."

"Well, what's there to worry about?"
