Hinata felt weird, she felt both tired and full of energy. Last night she could barely sleep from the sheer excitement still coursing through her body. Tomoka, herself and Nozomi had become girlfriends.

For the longest time Hinata had been satisfied with being Tomoka's friend but a year ago she realized her feelings towards Tomoka were changing. From the events of yesterday she understood that she wasn't the only one whose feelings changed. 

Every time she remembered Tomoka's eyes and words her heart accelerated as her emotions overflowed her body making it hard to fall asleep. This morning she felt somewhat tired from the lack of sleep and yet energized from the mere thought of spending time with her frie-... girlfriends. 

'That will take some time getting used to' She found it still hard to believe that their relationship became as it is. To tell the truth she was sure that one of them would end up as Tomoka's girlfriend some time in the future. 

'I didn't expect her to choose both of us.' Hinata wanted to feel angry at that. However, she couldn't. For starters her enmity with Nozomi was long gone and instead they had become great friends and rivals. To tell the truth, Hinata felt happy that neither of them had to have their hearts broken for the benefit of the other. 

Now that the three were together Hinata also realized something else. She had also developed feelings for Nozomi. They weren't as strong as those she held for Tomoka but now that her worries were settled she could find them. 

'Maybe she feels the same way' For Hinata that would be a plus. 

'Either way it's getting late' It was early morning and she had a date to go to. 

Before the trio separated the day before they had agreed to have another date today. Afterall, Tomorrow would be their last day of academy where they would be assigned their instructor for their time as genin. 

'Hope we are placed in the same team' The thought of being put in different teams scared her a little. She didn't want to be separated from Tomoka for so long. Much worse would it be if she was placed in a team without either of them.

'No, no, I need to be positive. For sure we will be all in the same team' Shoving her worries out of her mind Hinata got ready for the day. 

A while later Hinata waited at the gate of the Hyuga compound and like yesterday her girlfriends were late. She didn't have to wait all that long, only an extra ten minutes but she would still take advantage of it. 

"You two are late! Again!" Her tone of voice was displeased or at least that's what she tried to sound like. A moment later as expected Nozomi pushed Tomoka towards her. However, Hinata was determined to get a little bit more out of the situation. 

"Just a hug won't be enough this time" As she said that she tried her best to calm her racing heart. She felt like she would melt into a happy pudle while being hugged by Tomoka. 

"Then how about this?" With a cheeky grin Tomoka planted her lips on Hinata's cheek causing the latter's face to turn tomato red. Though of course Tomoka received heavy backlash from her own attack causing her own cheeks to heat up and turn red as well. 

"No fair, me too!" Without waiting a moment Hinata's other cheek was also kissed by Nozomi causing Hinata's embarrassment and happiness to flare up with an intensity she couldn't handle. 

"You two are bullies" Hinata couldn't help but say while pouting. She hadn't expected such an assault when she asked for something more. Maybe a head pat or something but not having her cheeks kissed by the two people she loves the most. 

"Maybe, but you are too cute when you are like this" Hearing that dealt another critical blow to the poor Hyuga girl. Today it seemed like Tomoka's kamikaze assault was in full swing and wouldn't stop any time soon or not. 

"That said, I have something very important to tell the two of you" In an instant Tomoka's demeanor changed to that of full seriousness. 

"Now that you two are my girlfriends I don't want to keep secrets. I am not asking you two to tell me yours but I will tell you mine. follow me, we will need somewhere more private" With that Tomoka began walking away leaving both her girlfriends confused and worried.
