Sakura sighed. BUSTED! Slowly, she got up and headed over to the table where everyone was located. "Oh, Um.. Hi Kakashi-sensei." She replied and gave a small smile. "Hey Naruto!"
Naruto looked up from his seat and gave a goofy smile. "Hey Sakura-chan!" He replied, and watched as Tenten started to get Hinata to come to. "Look! She's waking up!" He replied, and watched as Hinata's eyes began to open slowly. "Hi Hinata-chan!"
Sakura smiled at Naruto's easy loss of concentration. Of course, the Naruto and Hinata interaction was also cute.. So she couldnt help but smile more.
Glancing over at the last person who was there.. her smile saddened a bit. "Hi Sasuke-kun.." She said simply, and glared in Ino's direction. "Hi, Ino-pig." She said, giving a weak smile, and kept her focus on Sasuke.

By the time Sakura had made her way over, Sasuke was already seated next to Kakashi. He hadn't felt that it was necessary to continue standing, and he wasn't that much of a loner to sit somewhere by himself.
He glanced back and forth between Tenten, Ino, and Sakura -- all in the order they seemed to appear in his peripheral vision. It suddenly got.. very crowded over at that small booth..
"Hn. Tenten" He nodded his head in Sakura's direction. "Sakura." He let his gaze linger on the pink-haired female for a while before focusing his gaze on the table as if it were the most fascinating thing ever. Don't think he had missed the way her smile changed when she looked at him; not for an instant.
Maybe he'd ask her what was wrong later.. when there were less people around.. as in, just the two of them.

When Tenten heard yet someone else come in, she turned her head to see Ino.
"Oh, hiya Ino!" she greeted, then turned back to the...crowd.
Tenten had to admit, it was suddenly getting stuffy, despite the cold weather outside. She absolutely did not miss the saddening smile that Sakura gave Sasuke, nor did she miss how Sasuke quickly focused on the table.
For some reason, she felt some sort of sadness for the two, whatever it was.
Deciding that it wasn't her business, Tenten went back to her table, and began to finish her milk and cupcake, though every now and then, she turned her head in the group's direction, just to make sure that her friends (being Hinata and Sakura) were okay.

Sakura sighed, as she watched Tenten go back to their booth. "Well. I'm going to finish my meal. I'll talk to you guys soon!" She said, and gave a small wave. "Especially you Sasuke-kun."
Walking back to their table, she slipped into the seat and cut off a piece of her cake with the fork. "Tenten.." She basically whispered. ".. What do you think of Sasuke-kun?" She asked. If she ever stood a chance of getting with Sasuke, she'd have to see other people's views about him. "I mean.. he even looked at me." She said, almost a little surprised herself.

Tenten wasn't all that surprised when she noticed Sakura walking back and sitting across from her at the table. She listened to Sakura carefully as she bit into her cupcake.
Tenten smiled when her friend told her about Sasuke looking at her. Indeed he did. Tenten knew that it really didn't mean much, but from what she saw personally (which was Sasuke staring at Sakura for longer than just a moment, and then looking at the table as if it were something magical), it was something that wasn't normal for the Uchiha, and it had to mean SOMETHING.
Tenten took the time to wash the cupcake down with milk, and when she was done, nodded and whispered back.
"Well, I can't say I know Sasuke very well, but it doesn't seem normal for him to look at people and look away like he did with you...maybe he's thiking about asking you to the dance," she said with a smile and a shrug. "You never know! After all, you never really do know what he's thinking...he's kind of like Neji, in a ways..."

[[ELOHEL. Now I have to re-type that stuff...ah well. The post made everything a bit confusing.]]
Truthfully, Hinata was having a good time being unconscious. She was having a really good dream for once...involving being Naruto's girlfriend, actually being strong, Neji becoming clan leader (she didn't really want to become head) and her father praising her. But unfortunatly for her, it all went horribly down the drain as the image melted away into a black hole, leaving her to fall for eternity.
Slowly, Hinata opened her eyes before snapping them open and frantically surveyed her surrondings. She was in an unknown place, something that looked like a cafe. But she couldn't tell; her vision was rather blurry from a little crying she had done in her dream.
The room felt warm and stuffy, making her extremely uncomfortable. She was sweating from her nightmare as well, making her twice as crabby feeling.
"Hi Hinata-chan!"
Unable to recognize the voice, she swiftly stood up and Juukened the man, thus sending him flying into the chiars. Hinata then rubbed her eyes and saw just who she had attcked.
"N-N-N-Naruto-kun!"

Sakura smiled slightly. Of course Tenten could take almost a bad situation and turn it into a good one. She gulfed down some of her tea, seeing as she had left it behind, and finished off her piece of cake.
"Well. I suppose so.." She replied finally, her cup only half-full now.
Crash!
Sakura's head darted towards the noise. "What was that?" She said outloud and looked behind her. "Naruto!" She said frightened, seeing him in a pill of broken chairs.
Naruto groaned. "What the hell was that for!?!?" He said violently in his mind, moving his body slightly from the fall. "Ughh.." He groaned again, and opened his eyes warily. "What the hell..?" He muttered, and winced as he couldn't feel his chakra flow as he normally could.
"Dammit.." He muttered, and glared up to who he thought was Hyuuga Neji. No, it was.. "Hinata-chan?" He exclaimed, and watched as his pink-haired friend came running over.
"Naruto!" Sakura cried out again, as she ran over and knelt down beside him. Quickly, she checked his chakra levels, and help to fix him up from the few scratches and bruises he got from the fall. [Seeing as he has the Kyuubi]
She sighed with relief. "Well, good news." She said, and flicked Naruto's forehead, grinning when she heard him wince. "He'll be okay. He's slowly getting his chakra back - seeing as you didn't seal all of them, Hinata-chan." She said with relief. She wasn't in the mood to start pumping her chakra into Naruto.
Although - He was pretty lucky. He had the Kyuubi on his side.

Hinata froze in pure terror mixed with shock. Him glaring at her was just so...As she stood there, paralyzed, her mind screamed at her to apologize. Agreeing with it that saying sorry was a good idea, she quickly acted on it.
"U-uhh...I-I-I-I'm so s-s-sorry Naruto-kun!" Hinata quickly followed that by bowing her head and didn't even dare to look up.
'He must hate me now...I would hate me too...'
Hinata lifted her head up with a very depressed face and she tried to prevent the tears that threatened to fall by wiping her eyes with her sleeve.
"I-I'll...just leave now." cracked Hinata's voice as the tears did come over. She then sped through the store and continued to run outside, setting her destination for the Hyuuga household.
While she could state that she had made an accomplishment by having not stuttered very much for the first time when she talked to her long-time crush, Hinata felt that she was back in her dream. Falling, failing, disappearing, until it was like she wasn't even there...

Sakura glanced up at Hinata, but to only find no-one there. "Wait! Hina-" She heard the door open and close, and she could see Hinata's figure running down the street.
"It's not your fault..." She thought, as tears welled-up in her eyes in sympathy for her friend.
"This day is turning into a nightmare." She thought silently, letting her head drop down and bangs covered her eyes. "None of this was supposed to happen.." She thought and looked up at the ceiling with her eyes closed.
Naruto was slowly starting to come to. "Woah." He said, and rubbed his head. "I have such a.. headache.." He said, and slowly started to sit up. Quickly noticing that Sakura must have helped him, he thanked her, and gave a goofy smile.
Although.. his smile faded when he started looking around for Hinata, getting worried. "Guys.." He started and looked at everyone. "Where's Hinata-chan?"

Tenten's jaw dropped as she slowly pieced in her mind what had just happened. Quickly, she stood up, and made her way over to Sakura. She immediately noticed her friend's eyes watering before she could hide them, and she thought it best to make sure things were a-okay in a jiffy!
"Sakura!" she said, putting her hands on Sakura's shoulders. Her voice was calm and comforting.
"Me and Naruto will go find Hinata, alright? We're gonna sort this out, so don't feel bad!" She gave her friend a sincere smile.
"This is just a silly misunderstanding that can be patched up real quick! Just stay here and I'll be back once we find Hinata!"
She gave her friend a reassuring pat on the shoulders, and immediatly grabbed Naruto by the arm and pulled him out of the cafe.
"She ran off this way, and she was upset. We're going to find her, okay?" she said as she followed the footprints that Hinata left in the snow.
Kakashi slowly lifted his head from his Icha Icha Paradise book (when he took it out was a mystery) and noticed that the only people in the cafe were himself, Sasuke, and Sakura.
But more importantly, Sasuke and Sakura.
Kakashi grinned. This is your chance, Sasuke, he thought as he calmly stood up.
"Well, I have an important meeting to attend, so I'll see you guys later!"
Before anyone could object, he disspeared in a puff of smoke, leaving two of his three teammates alone in the cafe.

Sasuke stared at the empty spot next to him until the smoke cleared. If there was anything he was sure of at the moment, it was that Kakashi was a horrible liar.
He looked over to where Sakura was, eying the broken chairs around her to avoid looking at her specifically. He mentally noted that Hinata had more strength than he gave her credit for.. he had never really seen her fight before, and he supposed this was as close as he was going to get, even if it had been an accident.
Was there some all powerful being that was against him, or was it just.. fate that he and Sakura were the only two remaining? That was obviously Kakashi's plan, but he doubted Tenten and Naruto were in on it.. Naruto wouldn't have been able to keep the whole thing a secret, after all..
Oh, wait. Ino was still there.. He held back a sigh.
His gaze locked on the pink-haired female. "You all right?"

[[Brittney-chan! May I be Neji? : D I have an idea for him...Oh! And Remedi, isn't Ino also in the shop?]]
As Hinata sped through the streets, she hastily wiped her eyes to prevent further shame. What if her father saw her like this?
'Easy...he'd think even less of me, if that's even possible.'
Her eyes went downward as she had more self-doubting thoughts. This was the worst day ever...she couldn't even begin to think of the things that had gone wrong that day. All Hinata wanted to do was to curl up inside her room and cry her eyes out while eating a gallon of coffee ice cream.
Slowly, her fast-paced running had slowed down to a pathetic walk. Hinata turend around and made sure that no one was following her. Then again, she had run in in several different directions in her misery, even re-tracing her old steps and taking other turns. She was now walking in the Hyuuga's private forest, so she was sure that no one could have followed her.
Hinata soon stopped at her favortie tree, which was also looking dreary from the weather. Sighing, she took a seat under it and quietly cried herself to sleep, not finding the strength to go inside.

Getting the quick hi from Sakura and TenTen, Ino sighed. She kept thinking about asking Sasuke to the dance, though with Sakura there it would make it even more worth the while.
She saw as Hinata was starting to wake up, only to attack Naruto, "That had to hurt..." She quietly said to herself.
When Naruto flipped out, that would have probally hurt anyones feelings, escapially Hinata. Though it seemed that when he looked at the blue-haired girl he did not mean to yell at her. Ino watched as Hinata left, and TenTen and Naruto were going to find her. Well...that left her, Sasuke, and Sakura at the Coffee Shop. Who was going to talk to Sasuke first?
When Sasuke walked over to...Sakura? No...that was not how she wanted it to be. She wanted to talk to Sasuke first, but no...he went and talked to miss forehead. Ugggg...She cleched her fist, and walked over. She gave a slight wave and batted her eyes a bit, "Hiya Sasuke." She gave a smile. There now maybe she would be the one able to talk to Sasuke-kun.
((I may not be here until Tue. Just to let all you know...))

Naruto watched as Sakura's eyes trailed Hinata. That had been her.. right?
In an instant, he felt himself being lifted off the ground, and pulled toward the door. More like dragged.
"Ahh!" He yelled, and tried keeping up with Tenten's pace. "Could you slow down for just a second?" He asked in a calm manner, tripping over his own feet trying to walk.
Slowing down for a second, he stood up on his own two feet and looked at Tenten and nodded, starting off in the direction Hinata had ran to.
Sakura listened silently as Tenten spoke to her. "Thanks Tenten." She thought gratefully, and listened as she heard Naruto's protests from outside.
Hearing Sasuke's voice, she looked up. Tears weren't as noticable, but you could still tell she was sad. She sighed, "I'll be fine." She answered and got up, dusting off invisible dust from being on the floor. Quietly, she took a seat across from Sasuke and took glances from Ino to Sasuke and the window to look outside.
