Konoha High - A Naruto Fanfic

Sixteen year-old Hinata is the new girl at Konoha High. She is immediately infatuated by the boy sitting on the desk next to her, but struggles to make her face known. Naruto, oblivious to Hinata's blatant love for him, follows Sakura around school in his free time. Ino is mad for Kiba, the silent boy who sits next to Hinata. Not only does Kiba secretly fall in love with Hinata at first sight, he also tries to make Naruto look bad in front of Hinata. Kiba's dog Akamaru stands in the background questioning all of Kiba's moves on Hinata, while a group of bullies known as the Akatsuki storm the school. They seem to have located the first target: Hinata.

Chapter 1 – Who's who?

Hinata whimpered as she leaves the car and watches it pull off over the horizon. She tightened her grip on the books in her hands. An onslaught of teens ploughed her down, scattering them all over the floor. She waited for the teens to dissipate then bent down to pick up her books..

This school is... unruly... She thought to herself.

She frowned as she walked through the school gates into a bustling precinct full of students shouting at each other, beating each other up and generally being very rowdy. Hinata tripped a few times as she made her way out of the crowd of bodies.

Why is everyone taller than me?

Finally, Hinata makes her way out the crowd, thoroughly squashed. She squeezes her books as if to reassure her that they are still there.

Perhaps there's somewhere quieter?

She wanders into an area which is sparsely populated.

She soon finds out why.

An incredibly high-pitched tone sounded from a speaker right above her head. She cams her hands to her ears, thus dropping all her books again. When she opens her eyes she looks down at her books to see someone already picking them up. A boy with dark-brown hair in a spiky mess rose to meet her with a smile on his face. The smile revealed two pointed teeth poking out underneath his upper lip. He had a red mark on each cheek that reminded her of fangs.

"Hello there!" he grinned, sheepishly. "You must be the new girl at school!"

He handed her the books she had dropped. She looked from her books back to him, to find he was already gone.

Weird, I would have thanked him... If he'd stayed... He didn't even tell me his name...

She shrugged and pushed her books into her backpack. They'd have to stay in there for now.

He seemed nice enough.

Smiling, she set out to find her first class.

After introductions were sorted, and the Kakashi-sensei had started the lesson, Hinata sat in the only available seat. She was seated right next to the boy who had helped her out earlier. He smiled at her as she sat down, then continued to look out the window.

Hinata looked around the room, then noticed a particularly nice-looking blonde next to her. He had a permanent grin glued on his face, and messy blonde hair. He also had three strange-looking whisker marks on each cheek.

What is it about these people? Do they all have strange marks like that?

She tried to look away, but find her eyes were fixed on this blonde. She should ask him his name after class.

Screw english lessons. He's adorable...

Kiba looked over his shoulder to the girl sitting next to him. For some reason she was staring at Naruto. Did she? Had she? ALREADY developed a crush on him?

Darn it...

Hinata turned around to look at Kiba, who seemed to be staring at her rather oddly. Kiba turned away almost immediately, and Hinata coud swear his face went a little red.

When the english lesson finished she got up to leave, but the boy sitting next to her grabbed her arm.

"Oh, and I forgot to mention. My name's Kiba. What's yours?" he had a friendly smile on his face.

"Uhm... Hinata..."

Damn it, that cute blonde's gone...

"Nice to meet you, Hinata!" Kiba held his hand out. After much hesitation, Hinata shook it and watched as Kiba's cheeks turned a slight tinge of pink. Or did she just imagine that?

He got up and walked to his next class, never letting go of her hand.

"Come on, I'll bet you don't know where you're going next."

It was lunchtime and Hinata was in the library, revising her time-table.

Ok, Hinata thought. After lunch I have Maths with Karenai-sensei, then I have PE with Gai-sensei, then I can finally go home.

Hinata looked up and dropped her timetable when she saw the gorgeous blonde from English walk by. She jumped up to meet, but ended up tripping over right in front of him.

"Oh, sorry!" Naruto grabbed her hand and pulled her up. "Say, aren't you the new girl, Hinata?"

Hinata just nodded, with her head down so he couldn't see her blushing. She played with her fingers and smiled innocently.

"I'm Naruto, the coolest kid in all of Konoha High!" he smiled, with his hands between his head.

Hinata looked up at his face and was immediately lost in a pair of dazzling blue eyes. She felt close to fainting.

"Naruto-kun..." she slapped a hand to her mouth.

Dammit, did I just say kun!?

Blushing, she rushed away out of the library.

On the way out, she knocked Kiba on the shoulder. Seeing her made Kiba smile, then when Naruto came out the library grinning, he frowned again. Even the red marks on his cheeks seemed to droop.

Darn Naruto... He got there first... She seemed so nice as well!

First chapter – done!

In case you were wondering about name endings (honorifics) such as -kun and -san, I've got a link to some information off Wikipedia to help out.

It's pretty interesting stuff, so give it a read if you're unsure.

The asterisk (*) are there to show either a change of location, a change of viewpoint or any other significant change in the storyline. If two or more characters are in the same place I'll probably (not always) change viewpoint without the asterisk.

Thanks for reading, please R&R! Please DON'T flame me, I won't like you if you do. :D
