He was there, sitting at the ramen bar, guzzling noodles so fast it was hard to imagine how he didn’t choke. Hinata froze on the spot, biting her lip. What to say? She so badly wanted to be like one of the other girls - like Sakura - who could walk over

Hmmm.

Well, I disagree with the Sakura hate. Really, no one in this chapter covers themselves with glory (except perhaps one person, whom I shall get to in a sec).

The whole premise of this fic is that Sakura and Kakashi (both of them, not just Sakura)engage in a relationship that is severely frowned upon in their society. They continue it in the face of all convention, knowing full well that when the shit hits the fan (which it inevitably does because that's the way things go in stories and in real life) that a number of people will be wounded in the fallout. That's selfishness and arrogance on both their parts.

In terms of secondary characters, we have Hinata, who betrays a promise to keep a secret that she knows will damage her friend. We have Naruto, who (maybe, somehow) seduces that secret out of her, in the face of her flatly stated determination to remain loyal to Sakura, and we also have Naruto PUBLICALLY acting on that information in a way that is almost caculated to literally ruin his best friend's life. And we have Ino the town bicycle sitting in judgment on her best friend.

The only person who acts with compassion and grace here is Shizune, and because of Hinata's lack of control, she may be in for severe censure as well.

So anyway, the next chapter should be fun ;)
