~SASUKE~

"Hinata?" I spoke.

"H-hi S-Sasuke," she mumbled. As usual, she was twirling her fingers and looking down.

"How are you feeling?" I asked.

"A-alright."

"You're sure?"

"Y-yes."

I stared at her. She stared at the ground. I sighed.

"Well, I guess I'll go," I exclaimed turning away.

"W-wait!" she called. I turned back.

"U-um, I wanted to congratulate you on passing the exams," she stated. I gazed at her, surprised.

"Plenty of people have probably already congratulated you, but I also wanted to say thank you for taking me to the hospital, and, um," she stammered.

I smiled a tiny bit. "No problem," I said offhandedly, "anyone else would have done the same."

She shook her head, "B-but you took me to the hospital!"

"Did you want me to leave you there?"

"N-no!"

She stared awkwardly at the ground. Tilting my head to the side, I gently patted her head.

"Don't worry about it," I spoke, "you don't need to thank me."

"O-okay."

I looked back up at the exams.

"Your friend won."

"H-huh?" she inquired. Looking where I was, she spotted Kiba, Ino and another person, proudly holding forehead protectors.

"W-wow! K-Kiba!" she gazed in awe up at the stage.

"Next up," Iruka informed, "are Midagi, Honna, Sakura, Naruto and Hinata!"

"I-I'm up next?!"

"Better go before Iruka gets mad," I teased. She nodded and hurried off.
