Chapter One:

Contrary to belief, Hinata Hyuga is not naive. She knows that Naruto doesn't love her. However, she still got him, what more could she ask of? For once in her life, she got something she desired. Maybe it sounds pitiful that she would still date Naruto after knowing he doesn't love her but there was still hope. If you truly loved someone, you would continue to hope, no matter what. That hope continued to make her smile through the pain. She could see the way Naruto looked at Sakura, it was the same way she looks at him. It's ironic isn't it? She loves him, he loves her, she loves him, and he loves himself. She would never get the easy way out, hmm? Being born in a clan that continues to view you as a failure and loving someone that doesn't love you back. Maybe Hinata is a fool, a hopeful fool.

Hinata Hyuga walked quickly. You could tell she was happy. There was a glow about her, she had a smile on her face and she had a skip in her step. It was her and Naruto's 6 month anniversary. After six monthes, Hinata felt accomplished. Yeah, Naruto most likely started dating her out of pity but a few weeks into it, he acted different. He showed affection, holding her hand in public, kissing her cheek. He never went to far, he begun to act like a true gentlemen. Sure he was late on some of their dates but he came. That's all that matterted to her. And now he had called her to his apartment to talk. Most girls would be nervous about 'talking' but Hinata had faith. There was no way Naruto would break up with her, especially on their anniversary. That would be too cruel.

Hinata appeared at Naruto's door and knocked gently. A moment later he appeared. He seemed to be a bit nervous, or did he look scared? Hinata couldn't tell.

"Oh! It's you Hinata, come in!" he said as he held the door open for her.

"H-Hai."

It was a bit weird to see Naruto like this, usually he was very confident. Hinata brushed it off as being nervous for their anniversary. She felt the same way, although a bit curious as to why he called her here.

"You can go sit by the table, I'll be there in a second."

True to his word, a few seconds after she sat down, he was there. There was a awkard moment of silence.

"U-uno.. Naruto-kun? A-Are you okay?" Hinata asked. Naruto was defiantly behaving differently.

"..Yeah.. Hinata, we need to talk."

Hinata looked up at Naruto with fright in her eyes.

"A-About w-what?"

Naruto looked away from Hinata's eyes.

"Well you see.. I've been thinking... I don't think it's right to date you out of p-"

He quickly rephrased himself.

"I mean, Hinata, you're sweet, you're cute, I just don't like you like that. I still want to be your friend but just a friend."

At that, Hinata stopped breathing. How could he..? She looked up to him, she refused to cry in front of him.

"I-I s-see.." She said, her voice cracking.

"I th-think I s-should l-leave."

She didn't give him a moment to speak as she sprinted away. She contined to run. She didn't know where, she just wanted to get away. She slowed down and looked up, she ran to the training ground. The same training ground where she used to watch Naruto.

She sat against a pole. She didn't know why, but she couldn't cry. She just felt empty. As she looked around the training ground, memories flashed. Hinata's hands clenched. There would be no more giving her heart away, no more weak Hinata, no more Naruto loving Hinata.

She knew she had to do something or else she would begin to cry to herself in self-pity. She refused to do that. She slowly slid up the training pole. Once she was fully standing, she began to hit it. Soft at first but gaining speed. She made her mind blank and focused fully on punching the training pole.

AN: So I've come up with this. I did delete my other stories, gomen but I just didn't like them. They seemed to rushed. So I'm going to fucus fully on this *^* Now for character development~ Hinata WILL stutter, howvever I will not go overboard with the stuttering. I will make Hinata more confident but it will take time. I'm going to try to make good character-devolpment in this story, so feel free to tell me if I'm moving to quickly. And to those who felt like Hinata seemed to OOC in the end, put yourself in her place. She had the person she loved break up with her, and on their anniversary. I'm sure she just wants a release right now.

So give me some thoughts in the review please~ It gets me determined for a new chapter~ c;

Oh and for those wanting Sasuke, he will come in soon~
