Day 6: A warm embrace
第六天：溫暖的擁抱
Hinata prepared her stuff for school with nervousness.
日向緊張地準備上學的物品。
Today was the day of their examination to officially become genin.
今天是他們正式成為下忍的考試日。
She made sure she had all of her scrolls, as well as that her kunai pouch was full and ready to go. The exam, as Iruka had explained to them the week before, consisted of three parts: a theoretical written exam, a spar between classmates where their taijutsu would be evaluated, and finally a ninjutsu test where they would be asked to perform a simple jutsu.
她確保她帶齊了所有的卷軸，同時她的苦無袋也裝滿並準備就緒。考試，正如伊魯卡在一周前向他們解釋的那樣，由三部分組成：理論筆試、同學之間的切磋，評估他們的體術，最後是忍術測試，他們將被要求表演一個簡單的術式。
Hinata knew that she was well prepared for all of it, but she still couldn’t help the churning of her stomach at the mere thought of it. What if she failed? What if she had to repeat the year?
日向知道自己已為一切做好了充分的準備，但一想到這一切，她的胃就不由自主地翻騰起來。如果她失敗了怎麼辦？如果她不得不重讀一年怎麼辦？
She breathed deep, calming herself. Everything was going to be alright. She closed her hands in fists, nodding to herself, before grabbing her backpack and leaving her room.
她深深地呼吸，讓自己平靜下來。一切都會沒事的。她握緊雙手，對自己點點頭，然後拿起背包離開了房間。
At the academy, there was an air of anxiousness all over. She walked over to her seat, next to Sasuke who was already there, chin held up on top of his joined hands as always and looking apparently calm.
在學院裡，到處都充滿了焦慮的氣氛。她走到自己的座位旁，坐在已經在那裡的佐助旁邊，他總是把下巴托在交叉的雙手上，看起來顯得平靜。
“Good morning, Sasuke-kun” she greeted. He nodded at her, his head moving just slightly in her direction, before concentrating on the front again. Hinata sat, her eyes moving involuntarily to where Sakura and Ino were sitting. She felt a small pressure in her chest, but forced herself to dismiss that feeling.
“早安，佐助君。”她問候道。他向她點頭，頭微微轉向她，然後再次專注在前方。日向坐下，眼睛不由自主地移向櫻和井野所坐的地方。她感到胸口有一絲壓力，但強迫自己消除這種感覺。
She remembered the conversation she had with them a few days ago.
她記得幾天前與他們的對話。
“So, it wasn’t Sasuke-kun whom that letter was meant for…” Sakura whispered after Hinata finally managed to convince them to listen to her. She looked confused.
“所以，那封信不是寫給佐助君的…” 雛田終於說服他們聽她說完後，櫻花輕聲說。她看起來困惑不解。
Ino frowned. “Then how did Sasuke-kun receive it?” she asked, hands on her hips.
伊諾皺眉。“那麼佐助君是怎麼收到的？”她問道，雙手叉腰。
“I don’t know. I don’t understand how it ended in his shoe locker, I…” Hinata struggled with explaining. She hadn’t told them to whom the letter was originally meant for. She didn’t want to, because it was embarrassing, but she knew they would want to know.
「我不知道。我不明白它怎麼會出現在他的鞋櫃裡，我……」日向在解釋時感到困難。她沒有告訴他們這封信原本是寫給誰的。她不想說，因為這很尷尬，但她知道他們會想知道。
And she was right, because the next thing Ino asked was; “and who did you write the love letter for?”
她是對的，因為伊諾接著問的是：“你寫這封情書給誰？”
Sakura also looked at her, waiting as Hinata closed her eyes and whispered; “Naruto-kun…”
櫻也看著她，等待日向閉上眼睛輕聲說道：“鳴人君…”
“Naruto?!” the two of them screeched. Hinata quickly shushed them. They were in an isolated place, all the way outside the academy under the plum tree Sasuke had first told her she was to be his girlfriend. She found it a suitable place to have this conversation without fear of anyone listening in. Despite that, she still didn’t want them to draw unwanted attention with their voices.
“鳴人？！” 他們兩個尖叫起來。日向迅速制止了他們。他們在一個偏僻的地方，全程在學院外的梅樹下，薩斯克第一次告訴她她將成為他的女朋友的地方。她覺得這是一個適合進行這次對話的地方，不用擔心有人在偷聽。儘管如此，她仍然不希望他們用聲音引起不必要的注意。
“You like Naruto?” Sakura asked, eyes wide. Hinata felt herself blushing. She nodded timidly, glancing away. Ino and Sakura exchanged a glance. “Then… and if the letter was meant for Naruto… why are you dating Sasuke-kun?”
“你喜歡火影忍者嗎？”櫻問道，眼睛睜大。日向感到臉紅。她害羞地點點頭，偷偷地看向一旁。小綠和櫻互相交換了一個眼神。“那麼... 如果信是寫給火影忍者的... 那你為什麼和佐助君約會呢？”
“Right? It makes no sense if it was just a mistake” Ino nodded, crossing her arms.
"對吧？如果只是一個錯誤的話就沒有意義了。" 伊諾點點頭，交叉雙臂。
Hinata sighed. “I know, but… I tried to explain to him that it was a mistake, but he wouldn’t listen. And I thought… I thought that it wouldn’t be long before he… he got tired of me…”
日向嘆了口氣。「我知道，但是...我試著向他解釋這是一個錯誤，但他不聽。我以為...我以為他不會很久就...厭倦我了...」
The two girls frowned.
那兩個女孩皺著眉頭。
“So… you’re just letting him misunderstand on purpose?” Sakura asked, incredulous.
“所以… 你就故意讓他誤會？”櫻問道，難以置信。
“What about Naruto?” Ino added, just as shocked. “You wrote the letter for him, and now you’re dating his best friend. Do you think you will have a chance with him later, even if Sasuke-kun breaks up with you?”
「那麼鳴人呢？」伊諾補充道，同樣感到震驚。「你替他寫了信，現在又和他最好的朋友約會。即使佐助君和你分手，你認為以後還有機會嗎？」
“I was never expecting Naruto-kun to return my feelings” Hinata answered, face and voice sad. “I only wanted him to know how I felt before we graduated… as we probably wouldn’t see each other as often.”
“我從來沒想過鳴人君會回應我的感情。”雛田傷心地回答說。“我只是想讓他知道我的心意，在我們畢業之前…因為我們以後可能見面的機會會減少。”
“And for that reason it doesn’t matter if you date Sasuke-kun in the meantime?” Sakura pursed her lips. “Hinata, don’t you think that you’re playing with his feelings by letting him think you like him?”
「所以，即使在這段時間裡你和佐助君約會也無所謂嗎？」櫻唇緊抿。「雛田，你不覺得讓他以為你喜歡他，是在玩弄他的感情嗎？」
“Eh?” she was astounded by the question. Sakura closed her eyes.
「嗯？」她對這個問題感到驚訝。櫻子閉上了眼睛。
“He asked you to be his girlfriend after believing that letter was for him. Don’t you think he did that because he likes you?” she asked, slowly, as if she was talking to a child. Hinata was mildly offended, but she let it pass because what she said was even more shocking.
他相信那封信是給他的後，才問你做他女朋友。你不覺得他這樣做是因為他喜歡你嗎？她慢慢地問道，彷彿在對待一個孩子。雛田感到有點受冒犯，但她讓這事過去了，因為她接下來要說的更令人震驚。
“Sasuke-kun… liking me?”
"佐助君…喜歡我嗎？"
“Yes, Sakura, what are you saying?” Ino wondered too.
「是的，櫻，你在說什麼？」伊諾也感到疑惑。
“Think about it. How many girls confess to Sasuke-kun every day? And how many does he accept? None, right?” she looked at both of them for confirmation, and when they nodded, she continued. “And yet, it was only when Hinata ‘confessed’ to him that he decided to date her? Why? The only explanation is…”
想想看。每天有多少女孩向佐助君告白？他又接受了多少？沒有，對吧？”她看著他們兩個，等他們點頭後繼續說道。“然而，只有當日向向他‘告白’時，他才決定和她約會？為什麼？唯一的解釋是…”
“I-I don’t think he likes me!” Hinata interrupted, voice higher than usual. “I… I don’t know why he told me that I would be his girlfriend, but I’m sure it must not be because… because…”
“我-我不認為他喜歡我！” 日向打斷道，聲音比平常更高。 “我...我不知道他為什麼告訴我他會成為我的女朋友，但我肯定這一定不是因為...因為...”
“But Sakura’s right” Ino said, shoulders sagging in defeat. “There’s no other reason. Sasuke-kun likes you, and…”
「但是櫻是對的」伊諾說，肩膀無力地垂下，表示投降。「沒有其他原因。佐助喜歡你，而且……」
Hinata shook her head. She couldn’t believe this, but there was no convincing Ino and Sakura otherwise. In the end, she couldn’t explain to them why it was impossible for Sasuke to like her, because she didn’t have any other explanation either, just a gut feeling that something else had made him decide to be with her.
日向搖了搖頭。她無法相信這一點，但無論如何也無法說服猪鹿蝶。最後，她無法向她們解釋為什麼佐助不可能喜歡她，因為她自己也沒有其他解釋，只是一種直覺，讓她覺得他決定和她在一起是因為其他原因。
Sakura and Ino had insisted that, since Sasuke liked her, she should at least give him a chance if she was so sure nothing would ever happen with Naruto, and although she felt weird doing it, at least they weren’t ignoring her anymore. They weren’t actively with her either, but she supposed it would take some time until they could go back to how they were before everything.
櫻花和猪鹿蝶堅持說，既然佐助喜歡她，如果她確定與鳴人永遠不會發生什麼，她至少應該給他一個機會，雖然她覺得這樣做很奇怪，但至少他們不再忽視她了。他們也沒有積極地和她在一起，但她想這可能需要一些時間，直到他們能回到之前的狀態。
She sighed, just as Iruka entered the classroom and called to order. They were reassigned to different classrooms where they would take their written test, and after that they would be taken to the courtyard, for the practical part of the exam.
她嘆了口氣，就在伊魯卡走進教室並點名時。 他們被重新分配到不同的教室參加筆試，之後將被帶到庭院進行考試的實際部分。
Sasuke looked at her before she left, giving her a simple, “I trust that you can do it” that managed to ease her worries a lot more than she thought possible.
佐助看著她離開之前，簡單地說了一句：“我相信你能做到”，這句話讓她的擔憂減輕了許多，超出了她的想像。
And then it was time for the exam.
然後就到了考試的時間。
As Sasuke waited for his name to be called for sparring, he looked off into space, bored out of his mind. The written test had been easy enough, and he had confidence the rest of the exam would be as well. At his side, Naruto complained about his head hurting, and he snarled a little, tired of his never ending blabbering.
當佐助等待被叫去參加格鬥時，他無聊地望向虛空。筆試已經足夠簡單，他對接下來的考試也充滿信心。旁邊的鳴人抱怨頭痛，他有些咆哮，厭倦於他不停的喋喋不休。
“Calm down. You said your mom helped you study, no?” he asked as two new names were called. On the other side, Hinata was sitting on her own, playing with her fingers and watching Ino and Sakura talk to each other. He wasn’t sure what happened afterwards with the three of them, but he assumed Hinata must have at least said whatever she wanted to the other two, as the air between the three was no longer as strained.
“冷靜下來。你說你媽媽幫助你學習了，對吧？”他問道，當兩個新名字被叫出時。在另一邊，日向獨自坐著，玩弄著手指，看著猪鹿蝶和櫻對話。他不確定接下來三人之間發生了什麼，但他猜想日向至少已經對其他兩人說出了她想說的話，因為三人之間的氛圍不再那麼緊張。
“Where do you think I got my bad studying habits from?” Naruto groaned, returning his attention to him. Sasuke sighed.
「你認為我從哪裡學來的壞學習習慣？」鳴人抱怨著，將注意力重新轉向他。佐助嘆了口氣。
“I don’t know what to tell you. Enjoy staying in the academy” at this, Naruto sputtered, but he was no longer listening to him. That’s because Hinata’s name had been called.
“我不知道該告訴你什麼。好好享受在學院的時光。”聽到這句話，鳴人噴了一口口水，但他已經不再聽他說話了。因為飛段已經喊到了日向的名字。
As well as his.
同樣如他。
“Man, against your girlfriend? That’s gotta be tough” Naruto whistled. Sasuke rolled his eyes and stood up.
「對抗你的女朋友？那肯定很難」鳴人吹了口哨。佐助翻了翻白眼站了起來。
“It doesn’t matter who wins or loses, the spar is just to see if we have what is needed to become genin” he said before making his way over to the center of the field, where Hinata already was, standing with her shoulders close to her ears, glancing down in an anxious position. He frowned at this.
“不管誰贏誰輸，這場切磋只是為了看看我們是否具備成為下忍所需的能力。”他說完後走向場地中央，雛田已經站在那裡，肩膀緊貼耳朵，焦慮地低頭。他對此皺起了眉頭。
“Alright, begin!” Iruka announced, taking a step back. Sasuke decided to think about Hinata’s state later, and took position, waiting for her to make the first move.
"好，開始吧！" 伊魯卡宣布，向後退了一步。佐助決定稍後再考慮日向的狀態，他做好準備，等待她先行動。
She did the same.
她做了同樣的事情。
For a while, they analyzed each other, no one moving; but then, Sasuke ran towards her, raising his fist and aiming it at her head. She dodged by taking a step back and raising her own arm to hit him on the chest, but he was also fast and managed to avoid her attack.
有一陣子，他們彼此分析著，沒有人移動；但後來，佐助朝著她跑去，舉起拳頭瞄準她的頭部。她向後退一步躲避，同時舉起自己的手臂打向他的胸部，但他也很快，成功避開了她的攻擊。
Back and forth they went, avoiding each other’s attacks each time. Sasuke was a little impressed. It was one thing seeing her during class sparring with their classmates, but a completely different experience when it was against him. Without thinking he smirked, pleased with this development.
他們來回交手，每次都避開彼此的攻擊。佐助有些印象深刻。在課堂上看到她和同學切磋是一回事，但對抗他則完全不同。他不假思索地露出一絲笑容，對這個發展感到滿意。
Hinata frowned in concentration, but it failed at one moment when she looked up at him. Despite not knowing what brought this on, he didn’t waste the opportunity and attacked, kicking her legs from under her and causing her to fall down on the ground. He stood over her, his body poised in case she sprung to action again, but Iruka’s voice sounded in that moment, declaring him the winner.
日向皺著眉頭專心致志，但當她抬頭看著他時，這種專注卻在某一刻失效了。儘管不知道是什麼引起了這種情況，他並沒有浪費這個機會，立即發動攻擊，將她的腿踢倒，使她摔倒在地。他站在她身上，身體姿勢優雅，準備好隨時應對她再次行動，但就在那一刻，伊魯卡的聲音響起，宣布他為勝利者。
He resisted the temptation to groan. The spar had been fun, and it was a shame it had to end. Trying not to wallow on that, he extended a hand towards Hinata, helping her up. They would have time to spar together in another occasion.
他抑制住了呻吟的誘惑。這場切磋很有趣，可惜必須結束了。他努力不去沉湎於此，伸出手幫向日葵站起來。他們將有機會在另一個場合再切磋。
“That was pretty good” he told his girlfriend as they made their way over to where the others were. Hinata nodded, her face flushed from the exercise.
他告訴女朋友：“那很不錯。”當他們走向其他人所在的地方時。日向點點頭，臉因運動而泛紅。
“It was… you caught me by surprise back there” she admitted. He tilted his head in confusion.
「那個……你剛才嚇了我一跳」她承認。他疑惑地歪了歪頭。
“How so?” "怎麼樣？"
“Ah, well, you… you seemed to be having a good time” she twirled her thumbs shyly. “You even smiled… it really shocked me.”
“啊，嗯，你… 你看起來玩得很開心。”她害羞地轉動著拇指。“你甚至笑了… 真的讓我感到震驚。”
So that was the reason her concentration faltered? Because he was smiling? He didn’t know how to feel about that. “Is it that weird that I smile?” he asked. She immediately shook her head, flustered.
所以她分心的原因是因為他在微笑嗎？因為他在微笑？他不知道該如何感受。"我微笑很奇怪嗎？"他問道。她立刻搖搖頭，感到困惑。
“Oh, of course not! It’s just… you don’t do it often, and so when it happened…”
「哦，當然不是！只是…你不常這樣做，所以當它發生時…」
“So it is weird” he concluded. He should be more careful from now on then.
"所以這很奇怪，"他得出結論。從現在開始，他應該更加小心。
“No! Your… your smile’s very nice” Hinata confessed, much to his surprise. “I believe… you should smile more” and to drive her point home, she smiled at him, a pretty thing that illuminated her whole face.
“不行！你的… 你的微笑很漂亮。”日向坦白地說，讓他感到驚訝。“我相信… 你應該多笑一點。”為了強調她的觀點，她對他微笑，那是一個美麗的動作，照亮了她整張臉。
He glanced away, suddenly feeling self-conscious. They went their separate ways when they reached the crowd of students and he sat next to Naruto, who made fun of him because of his red face.
他把目光移開，突然感到不自在。當他們走到一群學生中間後，他們各自分開，他坐在鳴人旁邊，鳴人因為他臉紅而取笑他。
“Shut up, it’s just the heat that’s getting to me.”
“閉嘴，只是熱量讓我有點受不了。”
“We’re in October man.”
"我們現在是十月了。"
“I said shut up.” "我說閉嘴。"
For her final test, Hinata performed the substitution technique.
在她的最後一次考試中，日向進行了替身術技巧。
“Very well, Hinata!” Iruka congratulated her, looking at his notes. “You made very good scores in your other two tests as well.”
"日向，做得很好！”伊魯卡看著筆記，祝賀她說道。“你其他兩次考試的成績也很優秀。”
“That means…?” she asked, hopefully. Iruka grinned, as well as the other two teachers that were with him, sitting at the examination table.
“這是什麼意思？”她希望地問道。伊魯卡咧嘴一笑，坐在考試桌旁的其他兩位老師也跟著笑了起來。
“Congratulations. You’re officially a genin now” he picked up one of the forehead protectors lying on the table and gave it to her. Hinata took it with trembling hands, staring at it with wide and happy eyes.
"恭喜。你現在正式成為下忍了。”他拿起桌上放著的額頭護具之一遞給她。日向顫抖的雙手接過，用睜大且幸福的眼睛凝視著它。
“Thank you” she bowed.
她鞠躬道謝。
“You don’t have to thank us. You deserve it” Iruka smiled.
“不用感謝我們。這是你應得的。”伊魯卡微笑著說道。
She left the classroom with a skip in her step. Outside, there was a still a bunch of kids waiting for their turn, and they looked at her and her forehead protector with curiosity. Feeling self-conscious, she walked faster until she reached the exit.
她跳著步離開教室。外面，仍有一群孩子在等著輪到他們，他們好奇地看著她和她的額頭護符。感到不自在，她加快步伐，直到走到出口。
Outside, Sasuke was waiting, his own protector already tied around his head.
外面，佐助正在等待，他自己的護額已經綁在頭上。
“You did it” he said, looking at what she was holding. She nodded, smile still there.
「你做到了。」他說著，看著她手中的東西。她點點頭，微笑依舊。
“We’re genin now” she giggled, giddy with emotion.
我們現在是下忍了，她咯咯地笑著，情緒高亢。
“We are. Why don’t you put it on?”
我們是。你為什麼不穿上呢？
She did, trying to tie it around her head like he had, but the metal of the protector felt too heavy and uncomfortable against the skin of her forehead, so instead she settled by tying it around her neck. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at this, but didn’t comment.
她試著像他一樣把它綁在頭上，但是護額的金屬感覺太重，貼在額頭上很不舒服，所以她決定把它綁在脖子上。佐助對此抬起了一根眉毛，但沒有說話。
Soon after, Naruto joined them, shoulders slumped but forehead protector clutched tightly in his hand. “Guys… I almost didn’t make it…”
不久之後，鳴人加入了他們，肩膀低垂，但額頭護具緊緊握在手中。「大家... 我差點就沒來得及...」
“What? You failed a simple substitution technique?” Sasuke snarled. Naruto’s eyes shot up to him, narrowed and sharp.
「什麼？你連一個簡單的替換技巧都失敗了？」佐助咆哮道。鳴人的眼睛瞬間看向他，眼神狹窄而銳利。
“No, you ass, I did the technique just fine!” he sighed then, the fight leaving him as he remembered. “But my written test was a disaster. I barely scraped up enough points to make it.”
"不，你這個笨蛋，我技術做得很好！”他嘆了口氣，當他回想起來時，戰鬥的情緒漸漸消失了。“但我的筆試簡直是一場災難。我勉強得到足夠的分數才過關。”
“The important thing is that you did it, Naruto-kun” Hinata told him softly. He perked up at this, suddenly puffing his chest and grinning widely.
“重要的是你做到了，鳴人君。” 雛田輕聲告訴他。 他聽到這句話後，突然挺起胸膛，寬心地笑了起來。
“You’re right! And hey! You made it too! Congratulations Hinata!” he said as he took a step forward, crushing her in a hug. Hinata stiffened, her whole body starting to overheat from the simple gesture. “Isn’t it amazing? We’re all genin now! Now we only have to wait for them to announce our teams next week and…”
"你說得對！嘿！你也成功了！恭喜日向！”他說著向前邁了一步，將她擁入懷中。日向僵硬了，整個身體開始因這簡單的舉動而過熱。“這不是很棒嗎？我們現在都是下忍了！現在我們只需要等待他們下週宣布我們的小組，然後…”
“Naruto, hands off” Sasuke said, voice sounding low and dangerous. Hinata couldn’t see his expression as her vision was still swimming from the contact, but somewhere deep in her mind that felt full of cotton, she thought he sounded angry.
“鳴人，別碰”佐助說，聲音低沉而危險。雛田因為接觸而視線依然模糊，無法看到他的表情，但在她充滿棉花感的心靈深處，她覺得他聽起來很生氣。
“Waa, what’s with that face bastard? Alright! Alright!” Naruto took a step back, releasing her and raising his hands up, a nervous smile on his face. “Geez, I know she’s your girl and all, but damn, a hug between friends should be fine, no?”
“哇，這傢伙臉上怎麼了？好了！好了！”鳴人退了一步，放開她，舉起雙手，臉上帶著緊張的微笑。“唉，我知道她是你的女朋友，但該死，朋友之間的擁抱應該沒問題吧？”
“It’s not, now leave, your mom’s there” he pointed towards the entrance gates to the academy. Naruto turned to look in that direction, his face brightening upon seeing Kushina standing just a way off, smiling and waving at him. He quickly ran towards her, taking just one second to utter a quick ‘see you later!’ before practically jumping on his mom’s arms for another crushing hug.
“不是，現在離開，你媽在那裡。”他指向學院的入口大門。鳴人轉身看向那個方向，看到漩渦站在不遠處，臉上露出明亮的笑容，向他招手。他迅速跑向她，只花了一秒鐘說了一聲“再見！”然後幾乎跳到媽媽懷裡給了她另一個緊緊的擁抱。
Hinata was still trying to get her heart under control when Sasuke clicked his tongue. “No wonder he has no clue about personal boundaries…” he complained.
日向仍在努力控制自己的心情，當佐助咂舌時。「難怪他對個人界限一無所知...」他抱怨道。
“I think it’s cute… that they’re so outwardly affectionate…” she poked her fingers together, earning an exasperated look from him.
我覺得他們這樣公開表達情感很可愛...她把手指戳在一起，引來他一臉惱怒的表情。
“Anyway, is your father going to come pick you up? I think my mother and brother will come, but just because Itachi’s been having less missions lately it doesn’t mean he’s not busy with other things” he rolled his eyes. When he didn’t get an answer from her though, he looked at her, a frown forming.
“不管怎樣，你爸爸會來接你嗎？我想我媽媽和哥哥會來，但只是因為伊太希最近任務少了，並不代表他沒有其他事情要忙。”他翻了翻白眼。然而當他沒有從她那裡得到答案時，他看著她，皺起了眉頭。
She gulped. “My father… he won’t come” she told him. She looked away when his frown gave way to incredulity. “He’s the clan head… he has other more important things to do. Ah! But that doesn’t mean no one will come! Ko-san will surely be here shortly” she quickly explained, waving her hands in the air to dispel any worries.
她嚥了口唾沫。“我父親…他不會來的。”她告訴他。當他的皺眉轉為難以置信時，她把目光移開了。“他是家族首領…有更重要的事情要處理。啊！但這並不意味著沒有人會來！Ko-san 肯定很快就會到這裡來。”她迅速解釋道，揮舞著手中的手掌以驅散任何擔憂。
“Hey, I’m not saying anything” he put his hands in his pockets, staring away as well. “My father won’t come either. He already told me yesterday that I shouldn’t be expecting him here” he scoffed. “Not like I expected anything to begin with…”
「嘿，我什麼也沒說」他把手插進口袋，也望向一旁。「我爸爸也不會來。昨天他已經告訴我，不應該期待他會來這裡」他冷笑著說。「其實我本來也沒期待什麼…」
They lapsed into silence after that, with Hinata still playing with her fingers and Sasuke just staring ahead. After a while, she felt it was a little too suffocating, so she raised her head to say something, right at the moment he grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him.
之後他們陷入沉默，日向仍在玩弄手指，而佐助則只是凝視前方。過了一會兒，她覺得有點窒息，於是抬起頭想說些什麼，就在那時他抓住她的手臂，將她拉向自己。
Hinata’s jaw fell. 日向的下巴掉了下來。
“S-Sasuke-kun?” "佐助君？"
“Shut up” he muttered, hand moving from her arm to the back of her head. His other hand travelled to her waist, but he didn’t envelope her like Naruto had a few minutes ago. Instead, it was just… there. Barely touching her, but enough to make her feel as if she was on fire.
“閉嘴，”他低聲說，手從她的手臂移到她的頭後。他的另一隻手移到她的腰，但他沒有像幾分鐘前的火影忍者那樣將她包圍。相反，他只是在那裡。幾乎沒有碰到她，但足以讓她感覺自己像是在燃燒。
She didn’t do or say anything for the entire process, her body stiff as a statue. It was Sasuke who eventually pulled away, and he did so with a frown.
她在整個過程中沒有做任何事情或說任何話，她的身體僵硬得像一座雕像。最終是佐助拉開了距離，而他臉上帶著皺眉。
“You are supposed to hug me back” he reprimanded. She blinked up at him, not understanding. “I mean, when Naruto… tsk, whatever, I guess you didn’t do anything then either so it doesn’t matter” he took a step back, face aloof and hands in his pockets again. Hinata was still in a state of shock, and so, she was only able to come back to reality when she heard her name being called. When she turned around, Sakura was waving at her, making gestures so she would come over to her.
“你應該要回擁我。”他責備道。她抬頭看著他，一臉茫然。“我的意思是，當鳴人……唉，算了，我猜你那時也沒做什麼，所以也無所謂。”他退了一步，臉上冷漠，雙手又插在口袋裡。雛田仍然處於震驚狀態，當她聽到有人叫她的名字時，才得以回到現實。當她轉過身時，櫻花正在向她招手，示意她過去。
She cleared her throat. “I… I’m going now… see you next week?” she tried.
她清了清嗓子。“我...我要走了...下周見？”她試著說。
Sasuke looked at her as if she was stupid. “Of course not. We’ll see each other tomorrow, eleven o’clock in front of the public library. You still owe me a proper date” he said, narrowing his eyes.
佐助看著她，彷彿她很蠢。“當然不會。明天見，十一點，在公共圖書館前。你還欠我一次正式的約會。”他說著，眼睛緊緊盯著。
Hinata gulped, a bit afraid of his expression and what would happen tomorrow, but she nodded, because she didn’t want any problems, and then left, practically running away from him.
日向咽了口口水，有點害怕他的表情和明天會發生的事情，但她點了點頭，因為她不想有任何問題，然後離開，幾乎是跑著離開他。
Her heart was still beating too fast in her chest, and she didn’t understand why.
她的心仍在胸口急速跳动，她不明白為什麼。
