Perfect Two

chapter 8

"Hey Hinata...Hinata...HINATA!!!"

"Doctor Ino, you don't have to shout like that."

"You were like out of this world. You stared at nowhere. I bet you have something deep in mind."

"No no no Doctor Ino, it's just a slight confusion thats bothering me."

"Then spit it out and Oh, by the way, you can call me Ino. It feels too formal when you address me with 'doctor'"

"Oh Ino, I have a question."

"What is it?"

"If a guy that you just met asked you to be his girlfriend, what does it mean?"

"Hmm, maybe he liked you because you are attractive but, who dared to tell you that? Wait wait wait. Is it General Uchiha?!!!!"

"Hey Ino shut your mouth!" Hinata shouted in a whispering manner.

"Oh I knew it. My ship is sailing on the river full of love." Ino dreamingly told Hinata.

"Mr. General won't be interested on girls like me."

"Hmm, he can possibly like you Hinata, with your face and curves, Hihihihi."

"Hey stop it Ino." Hinata blushed 50 shades of red and confusedly looked down.

"Uh Ino, I need to go outside for fresh air."

"Hm, okay but be careful." Hinata webt outside for fresh air that enables her to think carefully. She saw the sight of the full moon by the river. It was too enchanting to see the view from the area. She can see the reflection of the moon from the clear waters. It was almost like a paradise to her.

"Who said you are allowed to go outside in this time?" A man spoke from the shadows.

"Who are you?!! Show your face?!!" Hinata shouted preparing to protect herself. She  spanked the guy with a wood but she was surprised that the guy stopped the whipping wood only by his right hand.

"Hahahahah, your face is too funny Miss Careless. Did you think I am a terrorist?"

"Well, by the looks of you, I would also be seeing you as one."

It was Sasuke who was just wandering in the woods.

"What are you doing here?" Hinata asked as she squatted on the grassy ground staring at the sky. It was wonderful that it showed countless of stars twinkling. Hinata's eyes reflected on them and it seemed to shine too. Sasuke stared at her for a little bit of time and then replied to her question.

"I should be the one who should ask you that." He said with a monotonous sound. He sat beside Hinata but was not too near to her.

"I just want fresh air to reflect on myself. I need a break and I think nature is the best place to relax."

"Hn."

"Did you know that when a shooting star appears, you can wish through it? They say it can make your wish come true. My friend used to tell me that."

"So did it grant your wish?" Hinata looked down as she reminisced her experience.

"Ow ouch." Little Hinata cried.

"Hey stay away from her!!"  A little boy came to her.

"So you are going to protect her? What powers to do you have huh?! AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"  The bullies laughed at the boy. He was skinny, pale but has a good looks. Hinata threw stones to bullies as they try to push the boy. He almost slammed his head on the rock. The bullies went to approach Hinata and was about to slap her. Luckily, they were stopped by the boy. The boy whipped them with a wood that he just picked. The bully went unconscious. The other bullies went to help him by carrying him back to their so called camp and ran away.

"We are not done with you both!!!" The bully shouted as they exited the place.

"Hey are you okay??" The boy asked Hinata.

"A-ano, I am fine. I-I am sorry that you were bothered." Hinata told the boy looking down with her cheeks red. That was when she discovered that she has this so called "disease" that when she interacted with someone who is not family, she tends to blush hard but little did she know that it was pure embarrassment.

"Don't apologize to me. Actually those guys really bullied me for being an orphan." He stated as he started to frown.

"I have no friends since then. It's actually fine if you don't like me as a friend because I am actually fine with it. Who would want a friend who doesn't have a family." He added. Hinata held both of his hands and caressed it with hers.

"Did you know I don't have too. My parents doesn't allow me to go out and I just actually escaped from our household. It is somehow suffocating." She smiled to the boy. She was trying to cheer him up to give thanks to his help.

"Nature is the best place to relax. It makes  me happy when I go in this kind of place. It is actually at its best when its at night, Neji niisan said. Would you mind going with me to the forest and witness them at night?" The boy nodded as his frown faded. Her voice was so soothing. He never felt so relaxed before and he never felt so happy to have a companion like her.

"Yes sure! And by the way I am Miro."

"I am Hinata, Hyuga Hinata."

They shook their hands as a sign of their friendship. Later that night, Hinata escaped their household with the help of her cousin to her promise to Miro to see the forest at night. Finally, her escape was succesful. As she ran a distance from her house, little Miro showed up and lead the way to the deep forest.
