Inseparable (A NaruHina Story)

6

-Hinata-

Naruto has been gone for almost two hours now.

I gave him the combo to my locker where I had my casual outfit stored. Safe to say it should only take him about...48 minutes with traffic and a possible line at the store where he's getting our stuff.

The door suddenly slid open.

Oh he's bac-

"Hello ~" But that's not his voice.

It's a woman's?

"Hello?" I answered back.

I stood up so she could see me. A beautiful woman with cherry blossom shoulder-length hair and emerald eyes was standing at the doorway. Her hands were occupied with two different cups of coffee. 

"Oh, you are so not Naruto." The woman commented when she saw me. 

I blinked.

Then she smiled warmly. "But I enjoy seeing a new face. Who are you?"

The woman made her way towards where I was sitting. I slowly became conscious of how I looked compared to hers. While we were both in business attire, hers looked way more cleaner. I knew my pencil skirt is probably a lot more wrinkled with the amount of time I've been sitting. I had to unbutton a part of my blouse to relax a bit after Naruto left, of course.

"I'm Hinata." I responded. 

"Sakura..." She trailed off and stopped in front of me. Her eyes studied me quickly making me want to shrink into the ground. 

"You look familiar." Sakura started. "I've seen...those eyes somewhere before. I think a co-worker of mines has the same one."

My instant thought was my cousin. "Neji?"

Sakura nodded rapidly. "Yes! You're related to Neji?"

"He's my older cousin."

The woman set the coffee down. "He did mention he had a younger cousin that works with Naruto and Sasuke. Not only that, those two have been talking about you nonstop and I've been dying to meet you."

"They do?" I can understand Naruto. We've spent some time together but I've rarely spoke a single word with Sasuke about anything other than work. It's his job to come by our coding office here and there to make sure he's up to date on what we're doing. 

And majority of the time, Shikamaru is the one that talks with him; not me.

"Well, Naruto more than Sasuke. But you managed to impress the Cold Prince of Konoha. Have to say, I'm impressed." Sakura said, then gestured at the seat. "May I?"

I nodded immediately and joined her.

It was silent for a bit. I didn't know what to say honestly. I barely know anything about her but she knew Neji so I guess I can kind of trust her.

"Is it true you're like a coding queen?" Sakura started.

"Oh, no. Nothing like that." I denied quickly. "I'm far from being a queen of any sorts."
