Forced to Marry, but Forced to Love?

Chapter 7- Reaching the Land of Lightning.

Hinata sighed as she leaned against the railing thing looking at the water. Ever since they took a long time to get all together that morning a few days ago it was decided that the Sensei's would come and get them. And by that it meant Guy was going to get them all when they met up to think of things of what might happen and what to do if those things might happen.

The bluenette couldn't help but feel as if something was going to happen on this mission. She wasn't sure if it was a good thing or not, but she couldn't shake the feeling off.

"What's wrong Hinata?" Sakura came walking towards her. Hinata looked down before speaking.

"I.. I can't shake the feeling off, something's going to happen and I don't know what." She spoke softly.

'Hinata.." Sakura looked at her troubled face before changing the subject.

"You never told me, how did you and Sasuke-Kun get together?" She asked.

'What am I thinking, do I really want to know?' Sakura thought to herself.

"A-Ano.. You s-see-"

"Sakura-Chan~!" A giddy voice spoke surprising the girls. Turning around Hinata's face went beet red and nearly fainted.

"NARUTO!" Sakura yelled bonking him on the head. "DON'T SNEAK UP ON US LIKE THAT!"

"S-Sakura-Chan.. I-I think you're overreacting." Hinata said softly with a sweatdrop, but wasn't heard since Sakura kept on yelling.

Secretly Sakura was thankful Naruto came suddenly like that, it was probably for the best she didn't know.

"Hn. Dobe." Sasuke came walking towards them. Sakura stopped bashing and Naruto and looked at him, old habits resurfacing, forgetting the circumstances.

"S-Sasuke-Kun!" She blushed as Naruto lay at her feet out of it.

He simply nodded.

Turning to Hinata he immediately grabbed her hand as softly as he could and lightly poked at it.

"Are you sure that it doesn't hurt anymore?" He looked her straight in the eyes.

"Y-Yeah, S-Sakura-Chan is a great m-medic nin." She sweatdropped as Sasuke just stared at her for a few more seconds before nodding his head.

"Are you sure?" He asked again.

"S-Sasuke-Kun I'm sure." She replied blushing as he got closer with a blank face.

"Are you completely 100% sure?" He asked again.

"Y-yes." Hinata sighed in relief as he decided he was satisfied with that answer.

'It's sweet, flattering even, that he cares, but... I wish it was Naruto...' Hinata thought.

"Anyways we'll be reaching land soon, and then we will travel the rest of the way on foot, so everyone get ready." Sasuke's demeanor changed as he spoke as he walked away.

Hinata sweatdropped, he was certainly a handful.

Sakura couldn't help but look longingly after him. The way his dark hair stuck up, the dark eyes that held strong emotion, the way he spoke, she loved everything about him! But, he always acted so differently around Hinata, so sweet, kind, and innocent! Childlike and caring, he was never like that with her. Sakura sighed as she looked down. She never thought Sasuke and Hinata would ever get together.

"S-Sakura-Chan, let's get our th-things." Hinata smiled up at her pink haired friend shyly after Naruto snapped out of it and chased after Sasuke.

"O-oh yeah, let's go Hinata!" Sakura laughed as she ran off leaving the bluenette alone.
