Perfect Two

chapter 9

As they walk to the deep forest, they witnessed how beautiful it was. Miro always go to places like this but did not experience it with someone like a friend. Now they both have each other, they wouldn't want to separate.

Their eyes were twinkling due to the reflection of the fireflies that were wandering around. The cold river touched their toes as they try to pass. The stones were slippery that made Hinata stumbled wet.

"Hinata, you should always watch your steps when walking." He smiled as he lend his hands to her. Hinata grabbed his hands, in his surprise he was pulled down. They were wet and cold and decided to start a fire near the river to make the temperature higher. They were chuckling and enjoying the night as they accompany each other. They squatted and stared at the wide night sky. Shooting stars started to show up on the clear skies.

"Did you know Hinata that when a shooting star passes by, you can make a wish?"

"No. My father always say that it is just a belief to people who dream so much in their lives."

"Well, an old woman told me that it does come true. I trusted the woman because her wish did came true before and met her one true love." He smiled at her. Hinata blushed again to the fact that his smile was more beautiful than the stars. They shine so bright like the fireflies in the dark forest. That time, she knew she had fallen. She fell in love for the first time.

Miro started to close his eyes leaving Hinata confused.

"Why do you close your eyes Miro?"

"You must close your eyes Hinata to know your most sincere wish that you wanted to happen." She then closed her eyes like Miro did.

She wished that this guy as her first and only friend aside from Neji niisan, will be forever with her and she will never be alone anymore. She wished that she would soon protect him like he did when someone bullied her. He was the most precious thing that she received from her entire life aside from her own family.

She never knew what he wished for but he seemed to be smiling again. She was wondering what he was wishing for but no one really knew except for him.

Suddenly someone called her name from the deep forest.

"Hinata-sama! Hinata-sama!" The people from the Hyuga household called her. Her family was indeed rich in their country because of their family businesses. She was always addressed as a "hime" or a princess because of her status in life.

"Who are they?" Miro asked Hinata with confusion.

"They are the helpers of my father. They want me to go back to the mansion. Please hide from them. They might punish you for my own mistakes." She hurriedly and worriedly told Miro and that was the last time she saw Miro. It was only two days that they met but it felt like a lifetime. It was indeed very memorable to her.

She was sent back to the household and scolded by her father because of her mistakes. Neji, of course told the truth to his uncle and he was also being punished together with her cousin. Hinata felt sorry for her cousin. She knew she was at fault but then she always want to escape.

From that day, even if she was imprisoned back to her house, she still waited for Miro to show up even just to visit her in a very short period but he never showed up. She wondered if the wishing star would grant her wish that day. She hoped and until now, she still see Miro as her first friend and will be forever in her heart.

"Uh, hello, Miss Careless??" Sasuke waved his hand in front of Hinata that seemed to be upset and out of this world. Hinata noticed him and went back to the reality.

"Would you mind telling me what did you think a while ago? It seemed emotional." Sasuke said with a monotonous manner.

"Ah, uh nothing. It is too personal I guess for you to know." She said as she rejected to answer his offer.

"I should be leaving first, Miss Careless. It seemed like you don't want to open up with me." He walked away leaving Hinata on the riverside. She felt a little bit of upset but in fairness, he is gentle not like a while ago. She felt like she hurt him by not telling what's on her mind so she decided to apologize tomorrow. Maybe make him a bento or something to bring him. It is not like she likes him but she can see his sincerity despite all of his unwanted teasing.

She decided to leave the place and suddenly a hand covered her mouth to prevent her from shouting. They covered her eyes with a piece of cloth and they carried her. She made a muffled sounds but no one heard her noises. She was truely hopeless. They were too strong and they caught her off guard. She was trying to send help but failed.
