Come on, if we are already important friends.

After a while I manage to get him to regain his composure.

It really is hard to talk to this girl when it comes to Naruko.

"Then you too- but-"

"Why am I always so indifferent?"

"Y-yes..." Hinata as a constant observer she has been looking at me who is next to Naraku.

"Well, about that, it's a bit complicated but since I like you I'll tell you, come a little closer to say it, I don't want anyone else to find out"

Then Hinata looks to the sides of her to see that there is no one around her and then I meanwhile approach her keeping a safe distance of course (we don't want her to run away in embarrassment or something similar).

"The truth is that I haven't told anyone yet but I'm actually a bit shy"

"Hey?!" Then, surprised, she listens to me and turns to see me because I don't look like someone shy to begin with.

Then with one hand awkwardly scratching my head I show an embarrassed expression.

My performance is enough and more than enough to convince her.

Then a happy thought crosses Hinata's mind.

'So it's not just me, there's someone else too' Knowing that she's not alone in this makes her happy somehow.

"So-"

"Oh how could she forget, Hinata I'm sorry I forgot something important" Then she sees me panic as if she really forgot something important.

"See you later then Hinata" I say goodbye half running with a big smile on my face.

So as I leave she stands with a puzzled look, processing the scene that happened so quickly.

...

Meanwhile I am hiding in an alley because I saw someone familiar around the corner of the other street.

'What a bad luck that I find Sakura here, lucky that I react quickly and retire decisively'

She then poked her head in slightly to see Sakura who was walking nonchalantly.

'Well, since you got in the way then you leave me no choice…I'll have to fulfill my destiny with you too hehehe…'

She smiled weakly remembering previous events I had with her.

...

Then Sakura is walking down the street while she thinks of something.

"Hello Sakura" A voice surprises her from the side of her.

Then she takes a step to the side in startle.

"You!" When she realizes who surprised her, she gets out of her confusion with an angry face.

"What's with that tone, is that how you greet your best friend?"

"What friend? What a shame you are to show up like this after everything you did..." The violent atmosphere quickly rises on her with a touch of blush on her face.

"Oh? What are you talking about?" I put on a puzzled face.

"Don't play it, you know what you... did to me..." her tone weakens as she reaches this point.

"Oh, you mean the time you lashed out at me?" I put on a face of enlightenment.

"You- that had to be some kind of conspiracy on your part, besides, I mean how you harassed me everywhere afterward" she says with a red face from embarrassment or perhaps anger.

"Oh you mean this, how spiteful you are, it's been so long since that time, why do you still hold a grudge?"

"You're such a shameless-! It's only been a couple of weeks!" Sakura looks like she's going to explode.

But before anything else can happen, she hastily changed the subject.

"But let's leave that behind, today I come with the proposal of a lifetime, it's about Satsuki of course" The moment I say that name, a switch seems to turn on in Sakura's mind and she immediately seems to forget everything before as she focuses on my last words

"Wait what did you say?"

"I said that I brought you a proposal that will change your life"

"No, I mean why did you mention sister Satsuki"

"Well…" I move closer to her.

"...What would you think if I told you that I can interact with Satsuki very closely?"

When I say that last thing, her look turns strange.

"You don't believe me huh, but well, that's normal, after all not many people know all my connections but for you I'm willing to make an exception"

"You are kidding, right?"

"When have I ever joked about these things?"

"..." She is silent for a second.

"If in the hypothetical case I believed you then how could you do that to begin with?" She makes a suspicious expression as she crosses her arms.

"Well, I don't have to explain but if you're so suspicious then ignore what I told you after all you're doing the right thing trying to get close to her lately right?"

Then Sakura freezes because Yuu hit the nail on her, lately since she became Satsuki's team she always tried to get closer to Satsuki but it always ends with her completely ignoring her with a strange look.

"Then I'm leaving" he started to walk leaving Sakura with a thoughtful expression.

"Hang on a minute-!" She quickly reacts quickly.

"Oh, what's up, do you have something to tell me?"

"You're not lying are you?" She asks herself with a serious tone.

"It's up to you to believe it" I see the conflict in her eyes but in the end she makes up her mind.

"Then I accept"

"Mn? What's up? Is that the way to ask for something?" Her expression trembles slightly.

"You- please" She says it.

I am briefly surprised.

'Wow, apparently she took my words very seriously, I thought her ego was not going to allow her to say 'please''

"No"

"What the hell does that mean?!, so it was all a lie after all" She gets angry again.

"Stop stop, wait, let me finish" she Raised her hands in a signal for him to calm down.

Then she holds back the fists that she was already raising.

"I meant that I can't just accept it like that, you see, if you think about it then in the end you might get what you want but then what do I get?"

"Huh, but-"

"I didn't say it was free, remember that at the beginning I told you that I was giving you a proposal, I didn't say that I was helping you, so it must be mutually beneficial"

"..." She is silent for a moment.

"There is no such thing as free bread"
