4. Tease a Little Girl

It has been two weeks since I was reborn in this world. In these two weeks, I spent my days peacefully. Go to school in the morning, play together with classmates, train together with classmates and learn chakra at night.

I already tried every method that Iruka-sensei taught me at school but nothing works. I couldn't draw out my chakra. I even couldn't feel my chakra at all.

Today is 'obon' holiday, so everyone is busy cleaning their ancestor cemetery. I was planning to go to my 'parent' cemetery, but I don't know where it is. I was also embarrassed to ask my neighbor because I don't want them to think that I am an unfilial man.

After thinking for a while I decided to go out while bringing a cleaning tool. I remember that Shikamaru told me about a small secluded place near the rock hill. I will hide there for a while.

I heard a noisy sound when I arrived near the secluded place. I was thinking that someone is hiding here like me but I was surprised when I saw a little girl training by herself. I can see that she is training hard, looking from her sweat and small injury.

Yuuki: "Excuse me!"

Hinata: "*surprised* Ah! You!"

Yuuki: "Sorry, but can you let me stay here for a while? Actually I am hiding- I mean I need to take a rest for a while. *dry laugh*"

Hinata: "*shy* Ye-yes!"

She is really a shy little girl. I couldn't imagine a shy girl like her could become a shinobi. Her shyness made me become curious and nostalgic at the same time.

I talked with her for a while to make her relax. But unfortunately, even after 30 minutes, her shyness still hasn't changed much. At least she can speak more words now.

Yuuki: "I see. So you always train here alone in your spare time."

Hinata: "Ye-yes! By the way, Shirasaki-kun, are you okay?"

Yuuki: "Eh, ah, yes! Of course, I already cleaned everything! *sweat*"

Hinata: "Ah, no, I mean, is your body okay? I heard that you have become crazy before.."

Yuuki: "(This girl looks shy but her words are not shy at all!) *relief* Of course, I am fine. Thank you. *smile*"

Hinata: "Ah, no, no! I just worry that you will become crazy again if you are not careful.. *red face*"

Yuuki: "*stab* (This girl! Is she cursing me?!)"

I decided to change our topic. I told her about my chakra problem.

Hinata: "I see.. Shirasaki-kun, can I see your body?"

Yuuki: "Sure. *take of clothes*"

Hinata: "*steam* *red face* Ah, ah, no! Shi-shirasaki-kun!"

Yuuki: "Yes? Are you okay?! You look like a boiled octopus!"

Hinata: "Yo-you don't need to take off your clothes!"

Yuuki: "Ah, I see. Thank you. *put clothes*"

Hinata: "(I almost passed out again!) *take a deep breath* Then, please excuse me. *byakugan active*"

I was surprised when I saw this girl's eyes. At first I thought that she was blind but after seeing her movement, I am sure that she can see normally. Now she shows her eye muscles in front of me. I almost jumped away from her.

Hinata: "I see. It seems that your chakra is too little."

Yuuki: "*surprised* Could you see my chakra inside my body?"

Hinata: "Ah, yes. With my byakugan, I can see a living thing's condition clearly, like his chakra, body temperature, or his blood vein."

Yuuki: "I see! It's really interesting! So, your eyes can see my body clearly! *come closer*"

Hinata: "*steam* *read face* (Shirasaki-kun's face is too close! I also can feel his breath!)To-too close! *pass out*"

Yuuki: "Eh?! Are you okay?!"

I was surprised when she passed out suddenly. Did she spend too much chakra using this technique?

I feel guilty but fortunately after checking her heart-beat she looks fine. Maybe she is just tired. I will ask her forgiveness when she wakes up later.

I put her head on my lap. I also put my wiping cloth in her head to make her comfortable. Her sleeping face made me remember my little niece in the past. So, that's why I felt nostalgic when I met her for the first time.

Yuuki: "*touch Hinata's face* This time, I won't let everyone hurt you.. *sad*"

Hinata: "(Eh!! What does he mean?! Does he like me?!) *red face*"

Yuuki: "Ah, she's become red again! *worry* It's better to bring her to the hospital now!"

Hinata: "*wake up* No! It-its okay!"

Yuuki: "*relief* Thank goodness! *relief smile*"

Hinata: "*red face* (Shirasaki-kun..)"

Yuuki: "*hold Hinata's cheeks* Please forgive me. I made you- *tears*"

Hinata: "No, no, it's okay! I just feel a little dizzy! I am really fine! Please don't be sad! (My chest really hurt when I saw your sad face..) *tear*"

Yuuki: "Sorry, I just couldn't bear it when I thought that I would lose you.. *hug Hinata's head*"

Hinata: "Shirasaki-kun, don't worry. I promise you that I won't go anywhere. I will always stay beside you. I won't leave you. So, please don't be sad. *patting Yuuki's hair*"

Yuuki: "Thank you.."

I was really embarrassed when I cried in front of her. I really want to dig a hole and hide myself there. I couldn't see her face at all now.

After I calm down, I want to get up and go home quickly. But this girl doesn't move at all. She even looks at me with shyness.

"(If you were embarrassed, why not get up quickly and let me go?!)"

"(You even have the courage to hold my hands now. Where is your shyness going?)"

Unfortunately I couldn't say anything. I could only look at the blue sky while holding her cheeks. How embarrassing. Please don't let anyone see me now.

We have been in this locked situation for around 1 hour. Even the sky has already become orange now.

Hinata: "Shirasaki-kun, can I call you Yuuki-kun now? *red face*"

Yuuki: "Sure *smile* (by the way, why does she know my name? Did we already acquainted before?)"

Hinata: "*smile* Thank you.. Ah, you can also call me Hinata if you want.."

Yuuki: "(So she is Hinata! I forgot to ask her name before.) Sure, Hinata-hime. *smile*"

Hinata: "Hi-hime!! *red face* *low voice*"

Yuuki: "(So your shyness is still there. I will tease you until you run away!) Hinata, do you like the sunset sky? *look up*"

Hinata: "Yes, it's beautiful.. (But it makes me felt lonely..)"

Yuuki: "I also think that it's beautiful. But I don't like it.."

Hinata: "Eh? Why? *curious*"

Yuuki: "Because it's lonely.. The sun set down and will leave the sky alone.. *lonely*"

Hinata: "Yuuki-kun.. (I also felt the same..)"

Yuuki: "But now I am not alone. My 'sun' is already here for me. Even when night comes, I am not afraid anymore. *smile* *look at Hinata*"

Hinata: "Su-sun.. *red face*"

Yuuki: "(Since I step down on the battlefield, only 'solitary' is my biggest weakness. I was also afraid to sleep at night, because my companion's face would show in the dream and crush my heart. Man is look strong outside but unfortunately they are weak on the inside.)"

Hinata: "Yuuki-kun, actually I also think the same as before.. But now I really like the sunset sky. Be-because I could meet you now below the sunset sky.. *low voice* *embarrassed*"

Yuuki: "*surprised* (This embarrassed face really turned me on.. *cuckle*) I see.. So if I want you to choose between the sunset sky and me, which one do you choose?"

Hinata: "Of course it's you! *surprised* *steam* Ah! I-I need to go home now! I will meet you again tomorrow! *red face* *run quickly*"

After teasing her for a while, she finally got up and ran away. In the end, I still won. I felt happy after I took a little revenge on her.

Yuuki: "*crash sound* Ah, I sat in seiza too long.. Is it my punishment after teasing a little girl too much? But even if I teased her, I didn't lie to her.. *sigh*"
