Disclaimer: Are Naruto and Hinata a happy beautiful couple? Is Sakura even the least bit useful? Has Lee stopped wearing that god awful green jumpsuit? Are Shikamaru and Temari having smexy sex every time they see each other? Has my adorable Gaara become one of the main characters yet? If the answer is no, then I most certainly do NOT own Naruto.
Warning: This story is rated M for a reason. If you don't like sex, profanity, and bitch fights then just click the back button. But if you do enjoy these things as much as I do, then by all means keep reading! Oh! And slight OOCness from Hinata mostly… wanted to make her a little sexier but still keep her sort of the same.
Before You Read: Hey guys! Let's face it, jealousy is a bitch, and this is going to be a story that explores that concept. This is going to be a story mainly focused on Naruto and Hinata's relationship BUT, I'm going to have a lot of shit happen before they can be the happy couple they're meant to be. Mwahahahaha! I'm so evil! I will probably be putting different POV's in later chapters so we'll see what happens. Anyways this idea has been floating about in my head for a while now and when I finished writing the first chapter I realized I came out with something I really like, so read and review! (There is going to be some Sakura hate in here too, but who doesn't hate Sakura a little bit? Be honest!)
Chapter 1: When Shit Hits the Fan
"Hinata, I'm going to go get my Chemistry book from Ino's room, want to come with?" asks Tenten happily, getting up from her desk where she had been studying for a test on the other side of our dorm room.
"No thank you, I just want to get this homework out of the way," I say, turning back to my AP calculus homework from hell and grimacing slightly at the complicated problem I was in the middle of.
Tenten gives me a sympathetic look before leaving the room to go down the hall to Ino's dorm. I look at the clock and note that Ino comes to do the nightly checkups on the dorms in about ten minutes, even though she's supposed to be starting her rounds now, she always starts late.
The checkups are scheduled to start at ten thirty everyday to discourage boys from staying the night in the girl's dorms, though Ino took the job just so the girls could get away with just that. She even carries a pocket full of condoms in her pocket while doing the rounds so that those taking advantage of the lax rules can at least be safe while doing it.
But that isn't the only reason why she volunteered herself for the job; her position allows her to be the first to know all the hot campus gossip before anyone besides the people who are involved, know about it. She doesn't go spreading it around for the world to hear of course, she sort of acts as a relationship god for all the girls in our grade.
Girls come to her for advice and comfort, not to mention get the dirt on their boyfriends or guys their interested in. Ino's advice is always straightforward and honest, she never sugarcoats anything for anyone and that's the main reason why everyone trusts and values her sage advice.
She also gets the dorm advisors room all to herself which is at least twice the size of a regular double dorm room; her bathroom even has a good sized bathtub in it, something all the girls are envious of. Konoha Academy, the boarding school we all go to has a special "trust policy" with the students, the only faculty members that come in the girls or boys dorms are the cleaning crew and they don't give a fuck what you do as long as you clean up after yourselves.
The final reason she does the odd job of making the nightly rounds, is to make sure no girl lays a hand on Uchiha Sasuke, the schools heart throb. He also happens to be the one that Ino is absolutely and positively in love with. Big shock there.
Ino and Sakura have been bickering over him since sixth grade (the earliest year this school offers) all the way until now (our sophomore year of high school) and its really starting to get on my nerves because now their sex drives have sky rocketed; compared to the pure and innocent crush they pair had on the boy when they were young, it's like their animals fighting over the scrap of food they need to survive now.
I really like Ino though, she's funny, caring, and gives great advice. Ino and Tenten are my two best friends in the whole wide world. Tenten and I have shared a dorm since sixth grade when we first entered the school, and we're like two peas in a pod now.
Sakura and Ino are best friends but they don't share a room, I'm sure if they did they'd end up killing one another, I mean seriously, their fights start out verbal but it can get pretty ugly if they're really fired up. After they've screamed themselves hoarse and punched their knuckles raw, they hug it out and laugh about it.
Like I said, Tenten and Ino are my friends… I didn't say anything about liking Sakura though.
The four of us are practically inseparable, we arranged our classes so that we could be together or at least have mostly the same teachers, and we're together during breaks in between classes and during lunch, we even to as far as eating all our meals together and doing our homework in a group. We basically only leave the others side to go to our separate club/sport activities or to go back to our dorms and sleep, though even then Sakura or Ino might spend the night in Tenten and my dorm or we go to one of theirs.
I try my very hardest to get along well with Sakura, I truly do. It's just that whenever I look at her, I feel as though I might barf. Okay, that might be a bit extreme but I don't care. The point is, nobody knows I even have a problem with the pinkette, only the diary I keep knows of my great displeasures with the girl.
I know I sound like a raging bitch when I say this but… she's annoying, loud, brash, unhelpful, mannish, and downright snobby.
And she has Uzumaki Naruto following her around like a goddamn puppy dog.
Sakura thinks that Ino is her rival, but I consider her mine.
We have the same accumulated grade point average, but if you look at our semester grades in the classes we take she always manages to get one or two percentages above me in our classes. We both take every AP class available at our school; we even go as far as to enroll in a zero period class, meaning we start school an hour and a half earlier then everyone else.
In our separate sports teams, (Sakura is a swimmer and soft ball player, while I do soccer, tennis, and horseback riding, not to mention all four of our group are on the cheer leading squad for our school) she always manages to be picked team captain and given all sorts of awards and articles in the school's online newspaper written about her; sure I'm captain of my soccer and horseback riding teams but alas, the tennis captain title has somehow eluded me.
What really makes me mad though is that she's the captain of the cheerleading squad. I know that with my naturally timid personality that this is to be expected, but I can't help but feel like I should be the one in that spot, not that cocky bitch. I never really found cheerleading to be that appealing but Ino talked all of us into doing it starting in eight grade to check out all the hot guys and spend some quality time together (even though we're already attached at the hip) but after doing it for a while I came to really enjoy it. I'm the best tumbler on the team and I'm also a better flyer then Sakura, so I found myself trying even harder in the sport just because of that.
I'm the president of the Book club, Judo club, Environmental Awareness club, Photography club and the vice president of the student council. Sakura is the president to the Peer Tutoring club, Boxing club, Film club, and is treasurer of the student council. Sasuke is the president of the student council, so I find small amounts of joy in watching Sakura's green eyes turn greener with envy when she sees Sasuke talking to me.
On the social scale, Sakura is at the very tippy top in the whole high school section of our school. There is no competition for her throne (except for Ino on occasion) our little group is the top of the popularity scale as far as girl groups go. Each person in our group has a stereo type we seem to fill according to the unofficial school newspaper site online, (it's basically a gossip page about all the students at school, of course the teachers and faculty are basically in the dark when it comes to the site so the students that write it have free reign to what they chose to write about… its mostly sex scandals and hot gossip about all the students here) my stereo type is the "naughty librarian" derived from my shapely body and timid attitude, I must admit that I don't find this stereo type to necessarily be a bad one. Ino's stereo type is the "classic bombshell" due to her flirty personality, her revealing way of dressing, and mostly because of her bleach blond hair. Tenten is the "sexy tomboy" resulting from her nonchalant personality, athletic figure, and the many sports that she's involved in. And lastly of course, is Sakura who has been classified much to my dismay as the "school idol" no need to put the words "sexy" or "naughty" or "bombshell" in there with the title. Everyone knows that if you're the idol you are all those thongs and much, much more.
I don't just want to be as good as her, I want to be better.
What I hate the most though is that she's known Naruto, Sasuke, and Ino since before we all even started going to this boarding school. Naruto talks to Sakura on regular occasions, earning himself a bop on the head when he pesters Sakura for a date. I want to rip her head off her shoulders when she does that to my goddamn Naruto.
Fucking Sakura…
But what can I say? Jealousy is a bitch sometimes. That's life.
I bite on the end of my pencil as I come across another rather arduous math problem in my homework. I look at the clock again. Ino should be here already, probably escorting Tenten back to our room since she's coming here anyway. I finish the rest of my math in a rush and pack my bags for school the next morning, going to the little bathroom in our dorm room to shower.
In every dorm is a small bathroom with a tiny shower, sink with a small counter next to it, and a toilet. The actual dorm is pretty spacious; Konoha High is a boarding school for the privileged or gifted after all.
My side of the dorm is black, white, and lavender for the color scheme and Tenten's side of the room is a light minty green, black, and white. We have separate desks, chairs, beds, bedside tables, dressers, and wardrobes for all our casual clothes for after class and when we can go off campus during the weekend. We also have a mini fridge and microwave with a low table with pillows to sit on instead of chairs, our little kitchen comes in handy when we don't want to leave the dorms for a meal.
Our sophomore year just started about a month ago and Tenten and I just got our room the way we like it.
I peel off my new uniform that consists of a long sleeve white button down shirt, a questionably short navy blue pleated skirt, a light powder blue v-neck sweater with a white stripe adoring the material an inch away from the edges of the sweater, white or navy knee socks, a navy blue blazer with silver buttons and the schools navy blue, white, and powder blue crest on the breast, and a vertically stripped tie that alternates between navy and powder blue with a small strip of white to separate the two colors.
I throw the uniform it in my purple hamper that's positioned next to Tenten's green one. I step into the shower as soon as it turns on, even though the water was still as cold as ice. I shampoo and condition my hair with lavender and lilac smelling products and soap my body down with vanilla and rose scented body wash. I have always liked the way these scents mingle with each other, giving off a calming scent to put my mind at ease.
I step out of the shower and towel off my hair and body before realizing I forgot to bring my PJs in with me. I shrug and wrap the towel around my body, holding the ends instead of tucking in a corner to leave only one of my hands free and walk into my dorm room, my eyes focused on a chip in my freshly painted nails.
I hear a small gasping sound come from in front of me and jerk my head up sharply to see who made the noise, I knew it wasn't Tenten, she's seen me naked plenty of times so she shouldn't be so shocked just seeing me come out of the bathroom.
Then I see him, the love of my life sitting on my bed, hair in its usual careful disarray of spikes like he was an angel that fell from the clouds, brilliant blue eyes staring at me in shock, and a cute pink blush spreading across his scarred, sun kissed cheeks. I barely notice the ever stoic Uchiha sitting next to him with a raised eyebrow.
I turn into a tomato.
A very clumsy, not knowing quite to do tomato.
I made a quick dash to my dresser, pulling open my underwear drawer apparently a little too far because it popped out and spilled its contents all over the floor. In my confusion I managed to let go of my hand securing my towel to my body in a failed attempt to save the falling drawer.
I, Hyuuga Hinata, am standing here naked in front of the love of my life and the school heart throb… I might as well just die of embarrassment right now without having to deal with the awkwardness of seeing them around school after this.
But of course, as I scramble to get on a pair of sexy lacey panties (of course the first ones I grab are Ino's birthday present from last year) and I slip on air and fall over onto the two gapping, blushing boys.
Naruto catches me and as I feel his rough hands against my bare body I do something I only do when it comes to Naruto, I faint. Right there in Naruto's arms, completely naked except for a ridiculously lacey thong.
I want to die; I can't ever face him again.
…
I wake up a few minutes later lying on my bed hearing Tenten's shouts and Naruto shout something back. My body is covered by my damp towel that I had used earlier for my shower. I keep my eyes closed and will myself to faint again, I can't take this humiliation, this shame, this self disgust that I feel, this crushing pain in my chest when I think about what Naruto must think of me.
I feel tears welling up in my eyes as I hear Tenten shove the boys out and slam the door forcefully behind them. I hear her sigh and walk over to me. I find I can't open my eyes again to face the reality of the situation.
I feel a comforting hand stroke my hair and feel the dip in my bed as she sits down. She doesn't say anything for awhile and I'm grateful for her silence. I sniffle and I feel her stand up, I can hear her picking up my drawer and underwear off the floor and put the frilly things back where they belong.
I feel the soft clothes she drops on my face, I open my eyes and make a dash to the bathroom to put on my clothes in peace. I shimmy out of the scandalous underwear I'm currently in and put on the simple white ones Tenten put in my little pile, I dress in my pink silk pajamas quickly and come out into the dorm to bury my face in Tenten's comforting shoulder and sob out big angry and utterly embarrassed crocodile tears.
"There, there, don't cry Hinata. It's not as bad as you think, I promise everything is going to be fine," Tenten coos out to me, unlike Ino, Tenten has no qualms in lying to people to make them feel better.
Her deceitful words work on me and I calm down a bit just standing there sniffling into her shoulder for awhile until we hear a tentative knock on the door. I let go of Tenten so she can go answer the door and go curl into the fetal position on my bed, letting quiet tears roll down my face.
"Hey, is everything okay? Everyone is out in the hall talking about hearing shouting and Sasuke having a boner and… Dear God, Hinata, are you all right?" Ino asks, pushing past Tenten and sitting down next to me on the bed.
I shake my head and bury my face in a pillow to muffle a second wave of sobs.
"Will someone please tell me what's going on?!" Ino half yells, worry lacing her voice.
"Don't look at me, it all went down before I got here," I hear Tenten reply defensively.
I sigh and sit up, not even bothering to wipe the tears from my face and open my mouth to tell of the horribly and impossibly embarrassing things that have happened to me today.
…
"Wow… no wonder Sasuke had a boner," Ino says after I finish recalling the events.
I turn a bright shade of red and bury my face in a pillow again. It's bad enough that Naruto saw me in that horrific state, but now I'll have to deal with Sasuke fan girls if word of this incident ever gets out, and sadly, based on previous experiences, the chance of this not getting out is a very slim one.
I could honestly care less that Sasuke was there; he was just an extra helping of embarrassment to go along with Naruto.
Sure, I'll admit to Sasuke's dreaminess any day but… I have no feelings for him outside of our comfortable relationship as President and Vice President of the student council; I can only imagine how awkward it'll be seeing one another again.
At that thought I groan and let myself collapse on my bed.
A lot of girls find my relationship with the schools heart throb threatening because we can talk to each other normally. Well I talk to him in the timid fashion I use with most everyone except my best friends, but the way I speak to him isn't what threatens people, it's the way he talks to me.
He actually talks to me like I'm a human being and doesn't give me death glares that could curdle milk; he doesn't talk like that to any of the girls at our school, including Sakura. He has all his guy friends that he talk to but he's never really shown any interest in any girls since I met him in sixth grade, myself included. Now our productive relationship as President and VP is forever tarnished.
How much more embarrassment could a person take before they needed serious help from a therapist? Who am I kidding; I have enough issues as it is… I should schedule an appointment with a shrink for next week.
As I'm thinking of this, Ino and Tenten are brainstorming of ways I could fix this issue.
"You could just change your image and start acting a little more like me," Ino says, moving to my bed to sit down with my legs on her lap.
"I don't think Hinata will be up for that anytime soon, Ino. Maybe you could just act like nothing happened when you see them next. I mean there's no avoiding Sasuke but you only have one class with Naruto as it is." Tenten says, making my heart sink at the thought of never being able to face Naruto, not that I ever made any kind of move before, but still.
My one class with Naruto is the theatre arts class that you take to be in the school play, our class has finally decided on doing Romeo and Juliet, super over done I know but I just want to be a back ground character, no need to embarrass myself up on the stage in front of the whole school. I only took the class with the hopes that I could maybe worm my way into Naruto's heart, or just simply say one word to the guy. So far, neither of my goals has been reached.
"Yeah, just avoid Naruto and never bring up the subject with Sasuke," Ino claps her hands together, proud that she thought of such a great idea.
"But you guys, I love him," I say, slightly exasperated with their notion that me avoiding Naruto is a viable solution to the problem. They've known about my painfully obvious crush for a long time now and they've always encouraged me to confess but I've never had the guts to do so.
"We know," Is all Tenten says before she kneels at the side of my bed to braid a few strands of my still damp hair from my previous shower.
Then something occurs to me, "Why were they even in my room in the first place?"
This idea seems to be a new one for both my friends because when I open my eyes they have thoughtful and confused looks on their faces.
"Huh, well if it was just Sasuke then it would probably be something about the student council right? But doesn't he usually just text you if he needs something before the next meeting? Plus it doesn't explain why Naruto was there too. They might've come to see Tenten, but I doubt that. Jeez, why the hell were they in your room anyway?!" Ino exclaims throwing her hands up in the air in exasperation with the whole situation.
"I didn't really give them a chance to explain themselves when I found them in here. I mean, they were positioning your unconscious, basically naked body on the bed; I sort of saw red and just started screaming at them. I mean, I thought they like, raped you or drugged you or something, to say I way pissed would be a colossal understatement," Tenten says, rubbing the back of her neck and blushing slightly.
"Remind me to never fuck with you Tenten, holy crap," Ino says, playfully punching her in the arm. We laugh, the atmosphere getting lighter as we begin to giggle uncontrollably. I laugh the hardest of all, mostly at myself for getting myself into a position such as this.
We finish laughing then I sit up, pulling my friends close, pouring my thankfulness for them being on my side through this whole ordeal into the bear hug I give them both. I feel myself physically relax sighing in a "fuck it" kind of a way. I feel a lot better surprisingly and break the hug to smile at my two very best friends; maybe I could get through this.
Just as the comforting thought passes through my head the door opens with a flourish, revealing a very mad pink haired bitch.
Wishful thinking is now evident on my part.
"What the hell Hinata!" Sakura screams at me, not bothering to close the door so that everyone gathered on the halls can see her march over and slap me across my tear stained face.
I'm so stunned by her action that I can't say a thing, I just stare at her with a totally confused and utterly pissed look on my face, my mouth opening and closing with no words making it past my lips.
"Sakura, what the FUCK was that for!" Ino screams at her, giving her a hard shove in the chest to make her back off.
"Why aren't you mad too? This BITCH is trying to steal Sasuke!" Sakura screeches, lounging at me again, but by now I've collected myself enough to dodge her attack, making her hit her head on the wall because she couldn't stop her own momentum.
Tenten moves in front of me, blocking me from the onslaught of her attacks as the crazy pinkette lounges at me yet again, a crazed look in her eyes.
"Stop you idiot! Hinata didn't do anything wrong! Just what made you think she'd do anything to try and steal Sasuke away anyway?" Tenten yells in my defense as Ino wrestles her to the ground, pinning her so she can't move.
"That bitch tried to seduce Sasuke by letting him watch her shower, then parading around in just her panties like some sort of cheap hoe!" Sakura screeches, her pretty face bright red with anger as she yelled her accusations at me.
That was the last straw.
I walk over to her, a glare deadlier than Sasuke's ever could be plastered on my face. My hands tightened into fists and my body went completely rigid and stiff; I feel like I could kill her right here and now with my bare hands, but instead of going all barbaric and using my fists to solve my problems, I do it the teenage way and scream.
"You honestly think that I have any interest what so ever in Sasuke?! You know who I'm in love with and yet you still accuse me of something that is so entirely unlike me?! In fact I probably obliterated any chance I had to be with him! Do you really think that just bursting into my room, slapping me, and screaming falsities at me is going to make anything better?! I never thought that you were this stupid and childish! I am genuinely shocked by you and your actions! I would think that you would at least let me explain to you what happened before you assault me! What the fuck is wrong with you Sakura?!" I scream at the very top of my lungs, my eyes tightly closed by the end of my rant. I open them breathing heavily, astonished at myself for actually asserting myself.
I look around the room and notice that the door is still open, dozens of eyes staring at me in quiet shock, jaws on the ground making them look like fish. I look at my friends and they have the same expression on their faces, Sakura blinking at me like I'm some kind of alien.
I can feel my chest and lungs squeeze and my hands and knees start to shake, my palms start to sweat and I try to wipe them off on my pajamas, feeling exhausted and totally mortified.
"I-I'm s-so-sorry," I say, bowing my head deeply to Sakura, then I extend my hand and help her to her feet. Her expression is still that of a person who just heard a squirrel talk.
"No, I'm sorry Hinata, you're right. Shit, I'm really sorry, does your face hurt?" she asks, obviously taken aback by my uncharacteristic outburst, I allow her to touch the cheek she hit gently as I absolutely refuse the urge to finch away and barf.
"Hey," I hear Sasuke's voice say; I jerk my head over in the direction of the still open door and immediately hear whispers start to break out all throughout the hall. All I can think about is how long had he been standing there for; my face heats up even more, so much so it's like I'm glowing as red as Rudolph's nose.
"I'm going to borrow her for a minute," he says as he walks over to me and grabs my hand and proceeds to drag me out of my room in my pajamas, barefoot.
…
"I don't have the energy for this right now, just say what you need to and let me go," I say as he pulls me out of the building into the frigid fall night air.
I truly can't handle this much stress in my system, I feel like I might faint again but I fight the urge tooth and nail. He pulls me around the corner of the building then pins me there, letting the shadows of the night disguise our faces.
"What," I ask, my voice sounding hoarse and tired, his hands are on either side of my head allowing him to have the dominant position.
"Hinata, I'm sorry for earlier, but it was your fault," he says void of emotion. I just sigh and nod my head, the action barely visible with the amount of light surrounding us.
"We are not going to let this little incident control our behavior towards each other in the future, I don't want to have to deal with any drama," he says looking at me expectantly and pausing in his speech, waiting for me to agree.
"Sure, I was thinking the same thing," I say, leaning my head against the cold brick of the building closing my eyes in defeat.
Sasuke doesn't say anything for a long while and I don't make any move to leave either, I just stand there in the cold night air, wishing I'd just wake up from my nightmare already.
I can feel Sasuke's warm breath on my skin getting closer, the wind picks up and his bangs brush against my face, I realize then just how close he really is to my face and I'm about to say something as I open my eyes, only to have Sasuke's lips connect with mine.
I let out a small mew of surprise and open my eyes wide, his mouth moves against mine for a bit and just purely on instinct, I move along with his lips. His lips are soft and surprisingly warm, his hair tickles my face and I feel his hands move to my own hair, slowly running his fingers through my long midnight locks.
He moves to deepen the kiss by gently licking and biting my lips but I turn my head to the side, breaking the kiss. We're both panting slightly but he doesn't make any move to leave, his hands still gently stroking my hair.
What just happened?
Please, someone tell me what's going on? Has this day not been horrendous enough already?
No, I know what's going on, shit just hit the fan.
I feel my face burn with the sheer power of my blush. I look at his silhouette with wide questioning eyes, trying to decipher his expression but the cloak of night surrounding us made it near to impossible.
"We can just pretend that never happened too," I say, moving his arms away from my face and hair, before walking as fast as I could possibly walk away from him.
He doesn't say anything and he doesn't make a move to follow me which I'm thankful for. I practically sprint back to my room, my face still red from the aftershock of my first kiss with a boy.
My first kiss was with Ino, she convinced me to let her teach me how to kiss and make out last year at a party when we were both drunk, saying I'd need to be a good kisser in order to impress Naruto… oh shit, Naruto.
I stopped in the middle of the hall at that thought, I turn to the side and gently pound my head against the wall several times, all the while chanting "Stupid, stupid, why am I so stupid?" over and over until I'm satisfied. I sigh heavily and make the rest of the journey back to my room, ignoring the stares and whispers from the rest of the girls in the hall.
I open the door to my room and see Sakura, Ino, and Tenten looking at me anxiously, obviously wanting me to tell them what happened. I close the door and move to curl up on my bed, my back facing my friends.
I just simply don't have the energy to deal with this new revelation right now.
"I'll tell you guys everything later, just leave me alone for a bit right now," I say pulling the covers up around myself, feeling numb from the cold air outside and the absolute drama I just went through.
"Okay Hinata, I'll sleep over at Ino's dorm then," Tenten says, gathering up her stuff so that she doesn't have to come back to the dorm in the morning.
"Goodnight Hinata," Ino mumbles, giving my head a quick pet. I hear the pair leave but I can tell Sakura is still in the room. I let out a groan; I am not in the mood for this right now.
"Hey, Hinata? I just want to say again just how sorry I really am. I feel like such a bitch right now, I know you'd never go after Sasuke and that you like Naruto, it's just I was so angry at the thought of you doing something like that that I totally lost it for awhile there. Friends?" Sakura says hopefully, expecting me to answer.
"I'll accept your apology of you accept mine, I say not bothering to open my eyes or even turn towards her.
"You really have nothing you need to apologize for, I was out of line. I got what I deserved, I'm really sorry Hinata," she says quickly, I just wave my hand in the air to make her stop.
"I'm not apologizing for that, just accept the stupid apology and let me sleep," I mumble out just wanting her to leave me in peace.
I can tell she wants to ask more questions but thinks better of it and leaves, turning off my light on her way out. I let out a shaky sigh and try to erase all the events of the day away from my memory.
That's it; my life is officially the new Hell.
