Death in Vain [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 18: Careless

Hinata's POV

Soon, the food was finally finished. I poured the newly made dish on to separate bowls as I gave it to them. I felt so nervous as if I was in some television show..

"It looks good and smell good too but... Maybe the taste is different. " Kakashi teased behind his mouth gaurd as I felt my heart racing.

Nervousness kills people because of the overwork of the heart but I just can't stop. This is like some reality show which focuses on my life but gladly it doesn't.

Gaara-kun watched the soup bowl full of vegetables and meat while I saw him inhale the antoxicating aroma. He soon grabbed a spoon and scooped up some of the food.

Please like it, please like it!!! My heart was pounding hard but it soon stopped when I heard him hum a tune. He soon gobbled up the whole soup and asked for a second bowl.

"How many years have I not been eating homemade soup even though we're in a forest? " he mumbled while I passed him his order. I giggled as not long enough, he asked for the third bowl.

"S-slow down. Y-you'll choke y-yourself! " I warned with concern in my pale-lavender eyes.

He looked at me depressingly as his mouth was covered with food. "Sorry but I really can't. " he uttered monotonely while his mouth was already filled with food.

I soon stared at Kakashi-sensei as he was just looking at his food, stroking it.

Has he tasted it yet? Was it bad? Why isn't he eating? "K-Kakashi-sensei... W-why aren't y-you eating m?  Aren't y-you h-hungry? " I asked him as my heart beggined to race again.

"I have second thoughts. " he spoke as he hesitantly scooped some veggies and meat from the bowl, drawed it to his mouth while opening his mouth gaurd. He puts it inside his lips and started to chew.

"It really is different from the other classifications. " he said as he drew the spoon down but he was still holding the bowl. I wonder why.

"It's... Not good. " he spoke which made me disappointed.

"What? " Gaara asked in disbelief.

"I'm sor----"

"It's delicious. " he interrupted which made my eyes gleam in delight.

He held the bowl to his lips, took the mouth gaurd off and drank the soup as if it was some kind of sake.

Soon he held the emptied bowl from his lips and pointed it at me. "More... I want more. " he spoke hesitantly while I could see Gaara cover up his laugh. I took the bowl and filled it with the soup as I gave it to him.

Soon, I started to help myself since I am hungry like they are though.

...........

After eating, I remembered that something was a bit off and that I was forgetting something. Looking at the empty casserole my mind suddenly remembered something.

"K-kisuke-kun..." I mumbled to myself as I cleaned the casserole, the bowls and the spoons before packing them on my bag. I soon stood up and was noticed by Gaara.

"Where are you going, Hinata? " He said in a husky and cold voice.

"Ehhh... I'm j-just cleaning u-up and a-after that I would like s-some alone t-time. " I reasoned but I lied.

"Alright then, just be here by midnight, alright? " he said which left me nodding my head.

He left me there as I continued on my way.
