Naruto's P.O.V
Before I return to my work, Hinata quickly stands up to stop me. "*Ch-chotto matte k-kudasai, U-uzumaki-san." I turned around after the lavender eyed girl spoke. "Eto, please d-don't walk m-me home."
*Wait a moment please.
"Eh?" I rubbed the back of my neck before I continued. "Okay, if you say so." I confusingly replied.
"A-ano, I'm not c-certain as to why Ino-chan asked y-you to accompany me home, so *gom-gomenasai for getting you involved in this. P-plus, you helped me multiple times a-already." She said timidly before she bowed her head.
*I'm sorry.
"Oi, you don't have to be so polite. I don't really mind helping you at all, so don't sound as if you owe me or anything." I reassuringly smiled at her, and for a second I thought I saw her flinch.
"*H-hai. *Arigato Uzumaki-san." Her face had a shade of pink as she smiled sheepishly.
*Yes, *Thank you.
*Chikusho! The same feeling I got at that time in the park is happening again! "A-ano, anytime." I stared after her as she headed for the door, and I unconsciously let words escape my mouth. "Hinata, be careful on your way home."
*Oh shit! (A slang and/or curse word in Japanese-roughly translated).
She stopped dead on her tracks and looked over her shoulder. "I will," she smiled at me, and the door closed after she left.
"Naruto-san, is everything alright?" Ojii-san asked.
"Yeah. Everything is alright." I resumed to work after that.
After an hour of labor, I was finally done for the day. "*Gokurousama, Naruto-san." Ojii-san said as soon as I left the locker room.
*Thank you for doing a great job (roughly translated).
"*Osakini shitsure shimasu. Tell Ayame-chan I said goodbye." Ojii-san nodded and I waved at him as I walked to the door.
*Pardon me for leaving before you.
It sure was a long day today. I wonder if she's already home by now.
Hinata's P.O.V
Achoo. Well, that was out of nowhere.
"Ring. Ring. Ring. This is a real mail." I looked at my phone and I received a mail from Ino-chan.
From: Ino-chan
Subject: Your date ;)
How did your little walk home go?
.....
To: Ino-chan
Subject: He is NOT my date.
I asked him not to walk me home after you left. Why did you do that anyway? T^T I was so shocked and terrified.
......
*Nani?! Nande?! You know what, I half expected for you to do such an act... It was way to soon for something like that.
*What, *why.
.......
Ino-chan, you sound like you failed as a matchmaker.
........
Ha ha ha, you are hilarious Hinata. Do you hear my sarcasm there?
.........
**Gomen. I just couldn't let it pass.
**I'm sorry.
........
Whatever. With all seriousness, you're aware of it. Its there and you keep denying it exists.
.......
Thus, I will accept it in due time.
......
*Wakatta. I'll leave you to your assignments.
*I understand.
.......
How did you know? A-are you s-stalking me? Ehhhh!~
.......
*Baka! I know because Kiba asked me to help him.
*Stupid
........
**Hai, It's so kind of you to help him. I shall let you two resume your study date. *Oyasuminasai, Ino-chan.
**Yes, *Goodnight.
......
It's NOT a date! See it as whatever you like, *mata ashita!
*I'll see you tomorrow.
.......
Ino-chan, maybe we'll accept it at the same time. Until then, *ganbatte ne.
*Goodluck
I stayed up for three more hours to finish everything and some head start on my reports. I'm finally done for today; it sure was a lengthy day. Sigh. I leaned back on my chair, finally able to relax. Wonder what tomorrow will bring for me? I was still thinking when the corner of my eye saw something. My mind and emotions sure has a bizarre way of reminding me. In my left, there is a jacket hanged neatly. I'm not certain why, but I feel as if we'll be seeing more of each other. Am I the only one that wishes so?
My beloved readers, so sorry for the really short and lame chapter. It's probably a disappointment for such a long update. Hontouni, Gomen'nasai.
Carver.
