Day 8: Talk to me
第八天：跟我說話
Sasuke arrived early that day.
佐助那天早早就到了。
It was the day the genin teams were officially going to be announced, after all.
這是正式宣布下忍小隊的日子。
He didn’t quite care for it, if he was being honest. He was fine with whomever, as long as they were not a fangirl or Naruto. Naruto was his friend, alright, but he knew him and he just knew that he would not be able to stand him if they were on the same team together.
他坦白說，他並不太在意這件事。只要對方不是個狂熱的粉絲或是火影忍者的話，他都可以接受。火影忍者是他的朋友，沒錯，但他了解他，他知道如果他們在同一個小組裡，他將無法忍受他。
The fangirl part was a little more difficult. Not a single girl he knew fit into the category of not a fangirl. Once upon a time Hinata might have, but she was his girlfriend now and…
那位女粉絲的部分稍微困難一些。他認識的女孩中沒有一個不是粉絲。過去日向可能是，但現在她是他的女朋友了，而且…
Not that she behaved like a fangirl at all. In fact, it was exactly because of that reason he had decided to date her, among other things, but at the same time, wouldn’t it be awkward to be in the same team as your girlfriend? It wouldn’t be very professional either. Of course, being with a fangirl would also be unprofessional, so maybe it would be better to be with Hinata after all…
她並不像個狂熱粉絲一樣行事。事實上，正是因為這個原因，他決定和她約會，當然還有其他原因，但與此同時，和女朋友在同一個團隊裡會不會尷尬呢？這樣也不太專業。當然，和一個狂熱粉絲在一起也不專業，也許和日向在一起會更好…
So much for being fine with whomever.
對於與任何人相處都無所謂，這就到此為止。
“Hey, bastard! What’s with that face?” Naruto bounced up to him, for once appearing before the bell sounded. He sat down heavily next to him, lifting his legs up on the desk.
"嘿，混蛋！你臉上怎麼了？" 火影忍者跳到他面前，這一次在鈴聲響起之前出現。他沉重地坐在他旁邊，把腿擱在桌子上。
Sasuke pushed him away, the blond falling to the ground, chair and all.
佐助將他推開，金髮的人倒在地上，連椅子也一起倒下。
“Oi!” he shouted. "喂！"他喊道。
“Don’t put your feet on the desk. People write here” he said before glancing to the front again, chin held up by his clasped hands. Naruto snorted, standing up and putting his chair back in place.
“不要把腳擱在桌子上。這裡是用來寫字的。”他說完又看向前方，下巴托在交叉的雙手上。鳴人哼了一聲，站起來把椅子推回原位。
“No one’s writing anything today. Anyway, don’t change the subject! Why are you sulking more than usual, huh?”
今天沒人寫任何東西。無論如何，不要改變話題！你為什麼比平常更愁眉苦臉呢？
“…I’m not sulking” he said, controlling his mouth when he realized he was about to do just that.
「我沒有生氣。」他說，當意識到自己即將這樣做時，控制住了嘴巴。
Naruto rolled his eyes. “You’re never honest man. Whatever. Hey! Who do you think we’re going to be with? I want to be with Sakura-chan and you, you know? I’d have my best friend and the prettiest girl in class in my team! How awesome would that be?”
火影忍者翻了翻白眼。“你從來都不誠實，算了。嘿！你覺得我們會跟誰在一起呢？我想和櫻花醬還有你在一起，你知道嗎？我會有我的最好朋友和班上最漂亮的女孩在我的隊伍裡！那會有多棒啊？”
It sounded like something straight out of his nightmares.
聽起來就像是從他的惡夢中走出來的東西。
“Ugh, I don’t know. Why are you speculating now? We’ll know for sure within the next hour” he rolled his eyes, completely dismissing the fact just a few minutes ago he was doing the same.
"唉，我不知道。你為什麼現在在猜測呢？我們在下一個小時內就會確定的。”他翻了翻白眼，完全忽略了幾分鐘前他也在做同樣的事情。
“Wow, look who’s too cool to even talk to today.”
"哇，看看今天誰這麼酷，連說話都懶得說了。"
“That’s not…” he turned to Naruto, but whatever he was going to say was forgotten when the door to the classroom opened, and in came Hinata, along with Ino and Sakura. She was talking animatedly with her friends, so much she didn’t even spare a glance for him. This made him frown.
“這不是…” 他轉向鳴人，但當教室的門打開時，他原本要說的話被忘記了，雛田、伊諾和櫻進來了。她正在和朋友們熱烈交談，甚至沒有看他一眼。這讓他皺起了眉頭。
Naruto followed his gaze, before a slow grin formed on his face. “Ohhh, problems with Hinata?” he asked, waggling his eyebrows. Sasuke glared at him.
鳴人跟隨他的目光，臉上浮現出緩慢的笑容。“哦，是和日向有問題嗎？”他問道，搖動著眉毛。佐助瞪著他。
“Of course not, you idiot. Actually, what are you doing here? I told you this was to be Hinata’s place from now on.”
當然不是，你這個白癡。你到底在這裡做什麼？我告訴過你，這裡從現在開始是日向的地方。
“Oh, come on! It’s our very last day at the academy! Can’t you…?”
"哦，拜託！這是我們在學院的最後一天！你難道不能…？"
“No. Hinata!” he stood up, hands on his desk, and called his girlfriend’s name while he looked back to where she had taken a seat with Ino and Sakura. As always, the whole classroom stopped whatever they were doing and paid attention to them, while Hinata stiffened upon being the center of attention once again.
"日向！"他站起來，雙手放在書桌上，呼喊著女友的名字，同時回頭看向她和伊諾、櫻坐著的地方。像往常一樣，整個教室裡的人停下手上的事情，專心地看著他們，而日向再次成為焦點時，僵硬地站在那裡。
“Y-Yes, Sasuke-kun?” she asked shyly.
"是、佐助君嗎？" 她害羞地問道。
“I told you to sit with me. Hey, loser, get lost” he kicked Naruto’s chair with enough force to rattle him, but not to send him to the ground, and Naruto complained aloud about being mistreated again.
“我叫你跟我坐在一起。嘿，失敗者，滾開。”他用足夠的力量踢了一下火影的椅子，讓他搖晃了一下，但沒有讓他摔倒，火影又抱怨被虐待了。
“What’s your problem? It’s just a stupid seat!”
"你有什麼問題？這只是一個愚蠢的座位！"
“I don’t want you here. Scram.”
"我不想你在這裡。滾蛋。"
“You’re such a shitty friend. And boyfriend as well! Can’t you see that Hinata wants to be with her friends? Stop trying to drag her everywhere you go, that’s obsessive behavior and it’s not cool, man!”
"你真是個糟糕的朋友。也是個糟糕的男朋友！你難道看不出日向想和她的朋友在一起嗎？不要再試圖把她帶到你去的每個地方，那是過分的行為，並不酷，伙計！"
“Excuse me?!” his eyes widened at Naruto’s words. He could feel his face getting warmer at the implication. “What did you just say?”
"對不起？！" 他聽到 Naruto 的話時，眼睛睜大了。他感覺到臉上因為暗示而變得更熱了。"你剛才說什麼？"
“You heard me loud and clear bastard!”
"你聽到我說的清清楚楚了，混蛋！"
Sasuke grabbed Naruto from the top of his horribly fashioned orange jacket, pulling him up to his level. But whatever he was going to do was interrupted when the door of the classroom slid open, causing Naruto to jump in surprise and lean a little too close to him.
佐助抓住了納魯托那件設計極為糟糕的橘色外套領口，將他拉到與自己同一高度。但當他正準備做什麼時，教室的門滑開了，納魯托嚇了一跳，不小心靠得太近了。
Iruka entered with a tired expression that only worsened as he saw the two. “Naruto, Sasuke, it’s the last day, can’t you cut it out just for to-? What are you two doing” he deadpanned when he saw that they were not moving at all. That’s when he noticed the rest of the classroom staring with their mouths open at the two boys.
伊魯卡一臉疲憊地走進來，看到兩人時表情更加惡化。“鳴人、佐助，今天是最後一天，難道你們就不能收斂一點嗎？你們在幹嘛？”他板著臉說道，當他看到他們一動不動時。這時他注意到整個教室的同學們都張著嘴看著這兩個男孩。
As he moved closer, the angle allowed him to see that, for some reason he couldn’t understand, Naruto and Sasuke were kissing.
當他靠近時，角度讓他看到，出於某種他無法理解的原因，鳴人和佐助正在接吻。
He cleared his throat. “Alright, whatever, if you want to do that then wait until after I’m done calling your names for your teams, ok? The academy is no place for intimate demonstrations so can you please just sit down?”
他清了清嗓子。“好吧，隨便你，如果你想這樣做，那就等我叫完你們的名字分組之後再做，好嗎？學院不是進行親密示範的地方，所以你們能坐下嗎？”
This finally woke them up, and they jumped away from each other, putting as much distance as they could between them. Iruka raised an eyebrow, but said nothing as he put down his folder and asked them once again to sit down, so he could finally do what he was supposed to do.
這終於把他們吵醒了，他們彼此跳開，盡可能拉開彼此之間的距離。伊魯卡挑了挑眉，放下文件夾，再次要求他們坐下，這樣他就可以做他應該做的事情了。
They did so with strained expressions, faces pale and eyes vacant.
他們這樣做時，臉色蒼白，眼神空洞，表情緊張。
Hinata was biting her nails by that point.
日向那時正在咬指甲。
No one dared say anything as Iruka called up their names, but the tension in the classroom was palpable. Or maybe it was just her. No, looking at Ino and Sakura, who bore similar expressions to her, she could tell it was definitely not just her.
沒有人敢在伊魯卡喊他們的名字時說任何話，但教室裡的緊張氣氛是可以感受到的。或者這只是她的感覺。不，看著伊諾和櫻花，他們臉上帶著相似的表情，她可以確定這絕對不僅僅是她。
Naruto and Sasuke had kissed.
火影忍者和佐助親吻了。
It was, of course, an accident, but the deed was done anyway, and she was sure she, along with every single girl in the classroom, had the same thought.
當然，那是一場意外，但事情已經發生了，她確信她和教室裡的每個女孩都有同樣的想法。
His first kiss… wasted just like that!
他的第一個吻... 就這樣浪費了！
Of course, in Hinata’s case she was thinking of Naruto, not Sasuke, even though she was the only one here who had the right to be devastated at Sasuke’s first kiss going to Naruto, being his girlfriend and all.
當然，在日向的情況下，她在想的是鳴人，而不是佐助，即使她是這裡唯一有權對佐助的初吻給了鳴人感到心碎的女朋友。
“Team seven” Iruka announced loudly, and Hinata made herself pay attention. Her name hadn’t been called yet, right? Oh no, what if it had? She hadn’t heard at all! How embarrassing would it be when Iruka reached the end of his list and she had no idea which team she belonged to?
“第七班！”伊魯卡大聲宣布，雛田強迫自己集中注意力。她的名字還沒被叫到，對吧？哦不，如果已經被叫到了怎麼辦？她根本沒聽到！當伊魯卡念完名單時，她卻不知道自己屬於哪個小組，這該有多尷尬啊！
“Haruno Sakura” he began, and her friend perked up at this. “Uchiha Sasuke” he continued. Without thinking, Hinata turned to stare at Sakura, who looked thrilled but also apprehensive, as if she didn’t know if she should celebrate or not with her present. “And Namikaze Naruto” Iruka finished, looking up at the three of them. “Please, please don’t cause too much trouble, ok?”
“春野櫻，" 他開口說，她的朋友聽到這個名字立刻興奮起來。"宇智波佐助，" 他繼續說。不假思索，日向轉過頭盯著櫻，看著她既興奮又擔憂，彷彿不知道該不該為她的禮物而歡呼。"還有波風鳴人，" 伊魯卡說完，抬頭看著他們三個。"拜託，拜託，不要惹太多麻煩，好嗎？"
“What does that mean Iruka-sensei?”
“伊魯卡老師，這是什麼意思？”
“Naruto, please don’t…” “火影忍者，請不要…”
The two began arguing, while Hinata glanced down at the desk, rather shaken. So she wouldn’t be in the same team as Naruto. Well, there wasn’t really anything she could do about it, and besides, it wasn’t like that would have changed anything. Not with her dating Sasuke.
兩人開始爭吵，而日向則有些動搖地低頭看著桌子。她不會和鳴人在同一個小組。嗯，她其實也無能為力，而且，這也不會改變什麼。畢竟她正在和佐助約會。
Speaking of which, she glanced up, searching for her boyfriend’s figure. From behind, he appeared unaffected, but if she concentrated, she could see the way his shoulders trembled, just a little. He didn’t appear happy with the team selection, despite having his best friend with him.
說到這裡，她抬起頭，尋找她男朋友的身影。從背後看，他似乎毫不在意，但如果她專心一致，她可以看到他的肩膀微微顫抖。盡管有他最好的朋友在身邊，他似乎對球隊的選擇並不滿意。
A best friend he had just accidentally kissed. Maybe he was a bit disappointed he wasn’t with her as well.
他剛剛意外親吻了一位最好的朋友。也許他有點失望，因為他沒有和她在一起。
“Team eight” Iruka said once his argument with Naruto was over. The boy was sitting with his arms crossed, and even though she couldn’t see his expression, she was sure he was sulking at being called out again by their teacher. “Hyuuga Hinata” she blinked, glancing up towards Iruka. “Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino.”
“第八班。”伊魯卡和鳴人的爭論結束後說道。男孩坐在那裡，雙臂交叉，即使她看不到他的表情，她確信他對老師再次點名感到不悅。“日向雛田。”她眨了眨眼，向伊魯卡看去。“犬塚牙和油女志乃。”
The wild boy with the triangle tattoos looked up from his seat and gave her a big smile that she immediately returned. She saw him trying to do the same with Shino, but the other boy ignored him, earning a huff of annoyance from Kiba.
帶著三角形紋身的野男孩從座位上抬頭，對她展開了一個大大的微笑，她立刻回以同樣的笑容。她看到他試圖對志乃做同樣的舉動，但另一個男孩卻不理他，讓木葉鎖生不悅地哼了一聲。
So, Kiba and Shino. This was fine. The two were nice, as far as she knew. She only hoped they would be patient with her, and that she wouldn’t drag them down.
所以，Kiba 和 Shino。這樣很好。據她所知，這兩個人都很友善。她只希望他們能對她耐心一點，也希望自己不會拖累他們。
As she was having these thoughts, she suddenly felt something heavy piercing into her face. She glanced around, her eyes quickly finding Sasuke’s, who looked… well, angry wasn’t the word. Baleful, maybe? But why? What had she done?
當她想到這些事情時，突然感覺到有什麼沉重的東西刺入她的臉。她四處看了看，眼睛很快就找到了佐助的眼神，他看起來… 嗯，生氣並不是適當的詞語。可能是滿是怨恨？但為什麼？她做了什麼？
“And finally, team ten: Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru and Akimichi Choji” Iruka closed his folder, giving them all a big smile. “With this done, I wish all of you a good and successful career. Your jounin senseis will come by after lunch, so please don’t be late. Dismissed.”
最後，第十小隊：山中いの，奈良シカマル和秋道チョウジ。”伊魯卡合上文件夾，對他們微笑。“完成了，祝你們事業成功。午餐後，你們的上忍將來接你們，請不要遲到。解散。”
Sasuke was fuming. 佐助勃然大怒。
“Where do you think you’re going?” he gritted out as he saw his girlfriend all but run away from the classroom.
「你以為你要去哪裡？」他咬牙切齒地說，當他看到他的女朋友幾乎是從教室裡跑出去的。
She flinched, he could see it even from where he was. He made his way over to her, hands in his pockets and the most neutral expression he could muster.
她略微畏縮了一下，他甚至從他所在的地方都看得出來。他走向她，雙手插在口袋裡，盡可能保持最中立的表情。
“I… I’m going to eat lunch with my team, to get acquainted with them” she answered when he was right in front of her. She poked her fingers together, her gaze sliding away from him. “Sasuke-kun should do the same…”
「我...我要和我的團隊一起吃午餐，以便更加熟悉他們。」當他站在她面前時，她回答道。她把手指捏在一起，目光從他身上滑開。「佐助君也應該這樣做...」
“I already know the idiot” he scoffed, not counting he didn’t even want to be anywhere near him at the moment. That… thing would forever haunt him, he was sure of it. “And I have no interest in getting all chummy with Sakura.”
“我早就認識那個白癡了。”他譏笑道，根本不想此刻靠近他。那個東西將永遠縈繞在他心頭，他確信。 “我對和櫻花變得親密毫無興趣。”
“Ah, mmm, well…” she twirled her thumbs now, and Sasuke lost the last remaining shreds of his patience.
“啊，嗯，嗯…” 她現在轉動著她的拇指，而佐助失去了最後一絲耐心。
“What? If you want to say something just do it already! It’s so annoying how you can never get two words out without blushing or glancing away” he practically snarled.
“什麼？如果你想說什麼就趕快說吧！你每次說話都臉紅或偷瞄一下，真是讓人討厭！”他幾乎咆哮著說。
This seemed to have caught her attention. She looked up at him, eyes wide and hurt, and for a moment he felt bad. He was just frustrated, because of the accident and the fact he ended up with the last people he wanted to be with in the same team. But that wasn’t her fault.
這似乎引起了她的注意。她抬起頭來看著他，眼睛睜大受傷，他一時感到內疚。他只是感到沮喪，因為事故和最後與他不想在同一個團隊的人在一起。但這不是她的錯。
The pretty smile she gave the Inuzuka was her fault, but nothing else was.
她對犬塚家族展現的美麗微笑是她的錯，但其他一切都不是。
But before he could open his mouth to try and apologize or dismiss his own words, something steely took over her eyes, and she pulled down her hands that fisted at her sides, before replying; “maybe you already know your teammates, or don’t want to get close to them, but I don’t. I want a good relationship with Kiba and Shino, because we’ll be together until we can all make chuunin, and for that reason I’ll go eat lunch with them. Now, if you excuse me.”
但在他張開嘴想要道歉或解釋自己的話之前，她眼中閃過一絲堅定，她放下了握緊的雙手，然後回答說：“也許你已經認識你的隊友，或者不想和他們親近，但我不是。我想和 Kiba 以及 Shino 建立良好的關係，因為我們將一起努力直到我們都能晉升中忍，為了這個目標，我會和他們一起吃午餐。現在，請原諒我。”
And with that she turned around, leaving him with the word in the mouth.
她轉過身去，留下他嘴裡的那個字。
…what was that? …那是什麼？
Since when did she have a spine?
她什麼時候長出脊椎來的？
“Sasuke-kun!” he heard Sakura calling from behind him, while he was still processing what had just taken place. She stopped at his side, holding her bento box and smiling wide, her face rosy and eyes glittering. “Sasuke-kun, shall we… shall we eat lunch together? Since we’re a team now and all” she asked, getting all shy out of nowhere.
“佐助君！”他聽到櫻從他身後叫喊，當他仍在處理剛才發生的事情。她停在他身邊，拿著她的便當盒，笑容滿面，臉頰泛紅，眼睛閃閃發亮。“佐助君，我們...我們一起吃午餐好嗎？因為我們現在是一個團隊了”她問道，突然間變得害羞起來。
He wanted to blow her off right there and then, and he was about to, but then, Hinata’s words resounded in his head, and, despite his wishes, he let his head hang in defeat, a heavy sigh falling from his lips.
他本想當場拒絕她，他正要這麼做，但突然間，日向的話在他腦海中迴響，盡管他不願意，他還是無奈地低下頭，一聲沉重的嘆息從他的嘴唇中傾瀉而出。
“Call the idiot, we’ll all eat together” he said, before walking away. A moment passed, with Sakura standing there in stunned silence, not having expected him to accept, but then she shook her head and yelled Naruto’s name, who came running at being called by her.
“叫那個白癡來，我們一起吃飯。”他說完就走開了。櫻站在那裡，一時之間目瞪口呆，沒想到他會接受，但隨後她搖了搖頭，大喊了一聲“鳴人”的名字，鳴人聽到她的呼喚就跑了過來。
After waiting for hours for their sensei to arrive –some lazy ass called Kakashi or whatever– and being dismissed after barely telling their names and a little of themselves, Sasuke was all ready to just go home and fall face first on his futon, allowing the tiredness of the day to drag him under, but before he could do that, there was something very important he had to do first.
在等待教練教師出現數小時後，有個懶散的傢伙叫卡卡西或者其他什麼，他們僅僅告訴了自己的名字和一點點關於自己就被解散了，佐助已經準備好回家，頭朝下摔在他的蒲團上，讓一天的疲憊將他拖入睡夢，但在他這樣做之前，有一件非常重要的事情他必須先做。
He had to talk to Hinata.
他必須與日向談話。
He realized that what he said was… well, not wrong, because he thought he was right. It was annoying how insecure she was at times. But it certainly wasn’t the way to say it.
他意識到他所說的… 嗯，並不是錯的，因為他認為自己是對的。有時她的不安全感真是讓人討厭。但這絕對不是說話的方式。
But, where to find her? At this time of day she should be at home, but he couldn’t go look for her there, because their relationship was supposed to be a secret from her father. Of course, he could go as a mere classmate, but what explanation would he give?
但是，要在哪裡找她呢？這個時候她應該在家，但他不能去那裡找她，因為他們的關係應該對她的父親保密。當然，他可以以一個普通同學的身份去，但他該給出什麼解釋呢？
In the end, he was lucky, as he found her on his way to his district, apparently walking to her own home. It was already getting dark, and he wondered for a moment what she had been doing out until this time, but he dismissed that question easily from his head as he quickly approached her, calling out her name before she could disappear behind a corner.
最後，他很幸運，在前往他的區域的路上找到了她，顯然是在走回自己的家。天色已晚，他一時納悶她為何一直在外到這個時候，但很快就將這個問題從腦海中輕易地排除，迅速走近她，在她消失在轉角之前呼喊她的名字。
She halted, her body visibly tensing, and something in her posture caused a bout of discomfort to sit in his stomach. “Hey” he said as soon as he reached her. “I didn’t expect to see you here at this hour.”
她停下來，身體明顯緊繃，她的姿勢讓他的胃裡不舒服。他一到她身邊就說：“嘿，我沒想到會在這個時候看到你。”
She looked at him, her lower lip trapped between her teeth. He glanced at it for a moment, before rapidly staring at her eyes again. That was a gesture she liked to do a lot, he noticed.
她看著他，下唇被夾在牙齒之間。他瞥了一眼，然後迅速又看向她的眼睛。他注意到這是她喜歡做的手勢。
“So, what were you doing out so late?” he asked when she didn’t say anything. It was an exaggeration, of course, as it wasn’t too late, but it was still past a certain time when he supposed her family would want her back at home.
「那麼，你這麼晚在外面做什麼？」他問道，當她沒有說任何話時。當然，這有點誇張，因為時間還不算太晚，但已經過了他想像中她家人希望她回家的某個時間。
She still refused to speak.
她仍然拒絕說話。
“…who did you get as sensei? Mine is someone named Kakashi… I think he was Itachi’s captain when he was still in the ANBU” he commented, before crossing his arms and frowning. “He came pretty late today, almost three hours, and then he dumped some info about an extra test that we have to take tomorrow to officially become genin, and that if we don’t pass we’ll return to the academy… Itachi never told me anything about a secret test.”
「你的老師是誰？我的是一個叫做卡卡西的人…我想他在暗部時是鼬的隊長」他評論道，然後交叉雙臂皺眉。「他今天來得相當晚，差不多三個小時，然後傳達了一些關於明天我們必須參加的額外考試的資訊，才正式成為下忍，如果我們沒通過，就得回學院…鼬從來沒有告訴過我有關秘密考驗的事情。」
“Hmm” she hummed, barely using her voice.
她哼了一聲，幾乎沒有用到聲音。
“Did your teacher tell you anything similar?” he asked when she didn’t add anything after that. He wasn’t used to be the one to keep a conversation going, but he could tell that if he didn’t, then they would get nowhere.
「老師有沒有告訴過你類似的事情？」他問道，當她沒有再補充任何內容時。他不習慣維持對話，但他能感覺到如果他不這樣做，他們將一事無成。
They might still not get anywhere, as her lips remained firmly sealed, a short nod his only answer. “Ah, so maybe you were training with your team then, right? For tomorrow, I mean.”
她的嘴唇依然緊閉，只是輕輕點頭，這是他唯一的回答。“啊，也許你當時正在和你的隊友一起訓練，對吧？為了明天，我是說。”
Another nod. 另一個點頭。
This was not working. Why wouldn’t she talk to him? Was she really that mad at him?
這不起作用。她為什麼不跟他說話？她真的對他這麼生氣嗎？
“Hey, listen” he started, rather awkwardly. She hummed again, showing she was listening. “About today… I… I didn’t mean what I said…”
「嘿，聽著」他有些尷尬地開口說道。她再次哼了一聲，表示她在聽。 「關於今天... 我... 我說的話不是真心的...」
He looked at her, waiting for her to simply tell him it was alright so he could be done with it, but she didn’t, instead just staring as if waiting for something more.
他看著她，等著她簡單地告訴他一切都沒事，這樣他就可以了結了，但她沒有這樣做，只是凝視著，彷彿在等待著更多的事情。
He groaned in his mind. She wasn’t going to make him say it, was she? But she didn’t relent, and so, he stilled himself and, with a big sigh, added; “I’m… I’m s-so…” he halted, closed his eyes, and then truly groaned out loud.
他在心裡呻吟。她不會逼他說出來吧？但她不肯放過，於是，他使勁克制自己，大口吸了口氣，補充道：“我...我...我好像...” 他停下來，閉上眼睛，然後真的在大聲呻吟。
“If you have nothing to say” she began, talking to him for the first time since he found her, “then I shall leave now” she walked away, but before she could take two steps, he stopped her by grabbing her from the wrist. When she turned to look at him, she was frowning. “Sasuke-kun, please release me” she asked calmly.
「如果你沒有什麼要說的」她開口了，這是自從他找到她以來第一次和他說話，「那我現在就走」她走開了，但在她走了兩步之前，他抓住了她的手腕阻止了她。當她轉過頭看著他時，她皺著眉頭。「佐助君，請放開我」她平靜地要求道。
He shook his head. “Alright, hear me out. It was wrong of me to treat you that way, and while it’s true you annoy me sometimes, what I said today was uncalled for and not true. I… I think you’re pretty great, for a girl I mean…”
他搖了搖頭。“好吧，聽我說。我對你那樣做是錯的，雖然你有時讓我惱火，但我今天說的話是不應該的，也不是真的。我...我覺得你很棒，對一個女孩來說...”
She stared, her eyes examining his face, making him nervous for some reason he couldn’t fathom. After a long while, she gave a small nod, and Sasuke couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
她凝視著他的臉，眼睛仔細地觀察著，讓他感到一種他無法理解的緊張。過了好一會兒，她微微點頭，佐助不禁松了口氣。
“Good, then, will you finally talk to me again?” he asked, and this made her frown once more. Not in annoyance, but rather… bemusement.
“好的，那麼，你終於願意再跟我說話了嗎？”他問道，這讓她再次皺起了眉頭。不是因為惱怒，而是…困惑。
He didn’t like that.
他不喜歡那個。
“Please never treat me like that again” she asked before he could say anything about it. He nodded, thinking it was the least he could do. “And if there’s something that bothers you about me, you can just tell me. Talk to me like a normal person. I’ll listen.”
"請不要再這樣對待我了，" 在他還來得及說什麼之前，她提出了這樣的要求。他點點頭，認為這是他能做的最少的事情。"如果有什麼讓你困擾我的地方，你可以直接告訴我。像正常人一樣和我交談。我會聽的。"
“I know, and I will” he promised.
“我知道，我會的。”他答應道。
Hinata stared a bit more, before pulling at her arm again. That’s when he noticed he still hadn’t let her go. When he did, she cradled her wrist to her chest, making him wonder if he had hurt her unintentionally. But she didn’t give him time to ask, because she was already taking a step back.
日向多看了一會兒，然後再次拉了拉她的手臂。這時他才注意到他還沒有放開她。當他放開時，她抱著手腕放在胸前，讓他擔心自己是否無意中傷害了她。但她沒給他問的機會，因為她已經向後退了一步。
“I guess… I’ll see you around” he said.
"我想...我會在附近看到你"他說。
Hinata hummed noncommittally. “Yes… see you around.”
日向發出含糊的哼聲。“是的...再見了。”
And then she turned around and this time she did almost run away. Despite the fact Hinata had apparently forgiven him, Sasuke was left feeling rather bereft after the interaction.
然後她轉過身來，這次她幾乎是要逃跑了。儘管雛田顯然已經原諒了他，但薩斯克在這次互動之後感到相當失落。
