A/N: I dedicate this to XxLOV3islik3aROS3xX because she likes Haku/Hinata just like me :). I'll change this into a multi-chapter fic if anyone requests it, but until then, this is a one-shot.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Her nose wrinkled and she pouted. Honestly, how many times would they do this to her? Currently Hyuuga Hinata was in gym—her least favorite class in school. For some strange reason, she was always forced to go along with the boys despite her being a female.
It must've been her looks. She had a short, messy bob of indigo hair that constantly fell into her eyes. She always wore baggy clothing, and never removed her favorite gray sweater. Hell, all of the girls in her class called her "Hinata-kun". What she wouldn't give to be called "Hinata-chan", at least just once.
"Hike!"
Her attention was drawn back to her current situation. She was wearing her baggy gym uniform and wore a blue vest, signifying which team she was on. She barely looked up in time to catch the leather bound football. Oh no…She glanced up just in time to see a friend of hers, Inuzuka Kiba, who was on the opposite team dashing towards her.
"You're mine, Hyuuga!" He shouted, weaving in and out in between all of her defenders and barreling over to her.
It was only then that her instincts kicked in and she turned away, attempting to flee towards the enemy's goal line. She only managed to run seven feet before she felt like a fright train run over her, smacking down hard onto the earth. Her breath left her in a painful wheeze.
Kiba stared down at her with amusement. "Better luck next time, Hinata. You should know better than to play against me!"
She slowly climbed to her feet and winced at the sharp pain in her ribs. That would definitely leave a mark.
"Alright men, good work, but we still have plenty of time left in class. Let's go over the play one more time!" The coach glanced over at the cowering Hinata. "Oi, Hyuuga! This isn't elementary! Stop clutching your side like a sissy and get back to your spot!"
"Hai, sensei!" She dashed over to her spot in the line and paused when she saw the boy opposite of her. He was more than twice her size…
"Ready, set, Hike!"
The huge boy strode forward and knocked into her, landing directly where Kiba had only a few moments earlier. She groaned as she heard a creak in her bones. She hated this game…

He was practically seething. Honestly, what did he have to do to convince these losers that he was really a male? Did he have to pull down his shorts and show them what his otou-san gave him? "For the last time Kurenai-sensei, I'm not a girl!" Haku cried, stomping his feet rather childishly.
He's had enough of this! Every single day he would be forced over to the girls' group during gym. Sure, he was incredibly pretty for a male, but come on! His voice was deeper than average girls! He went through puberty! He shouldn't have to deal with this! He shouldn't have to deal with all of these boringly girly sports when all he wanted to do was play REAL sports, like football, basketball, and baseball!
"Nonsense. We've met your tomboyish kind before Haku-chan. Girls who say they're boys so they can go play the rougher sports." The brunette sensei said, gently pushing Haku back into the throng of chatty females. "We're not so easily fooled."
"I'M NOT LYING! YOU CAN CHECK MY FILE!" He screamed from his spot in the volleyball line. He was sick and tired of all this crap! Being with the girls sucked! He didn't want to hear gossip, he didn't want to know which girl slept with whose boyfriend and he certainly didn't want tips on how to catch a guy! He didn't want to get leered at by those hormonal boys as if he were a slab of meat!
"Haku-chan, watch out!"
The brunette boy looked up, getting smacked in his baby maker with the white ball. He hunched over and groaned. This has to change!

"Oi, Hinata, there's some girls over there in the lines that are giving you the once over!" Naruto cooed; winking at a few that dared to meet his gaze.
"I don't care." She mumbled, walking over to their table in the cafeteria and slipping in between Shikamaru and Shino. They knew of her true gender and didn't bother her every second about "scoring". Besides, they were pleasantly quiet, just what she needed with the killer headache and bruised and sore body.
Across from her sat Sasuke, the school's "prince". He too knew that she was a girl and couldn't care less; he was indifferent towards her, probably because she was the only female that wasn't after him. To his right sat Naruto and to his left, Chouji. Chouji was happily munching on his revered barbeque flavored chips and Naruto was talking about anything and everything. She gave the Uchiha a sympathetic smile when he glanced up, his suffering made clear in his coal hues.
"Yahoo!" Everyone turned to the cafeteria doors as Kiba jumped through them, making himself the center of attention as usual. He ran over to their table with a self-satisfied smirk, squeezing in between Shino and her. The dog lover immediately turned to her, a wolfish grin on his lips. "So Hinata, it seems that there are plenty of girls begging Ino-chan for your number. They all want you, though I can't see why, so this means that you need to take advantage of it. In my books, it's about time for you to lose your virginity."
She flushed completely and sputtered incoherently. How did she ever to befriend such a—a crude person?
Shino appeared behind Kiba and tipped him out of his seat, successfully retrieving his previous spot. "Don't speak of such things while people are eating, Kiba." He reprimanded the dog loving teen.
"Hmph. Whatever…" Kiba jumped back up. "Anyways Hinata, Ino-chan and I have set you up with a friend of hers. From what I hear, her name is Haku." He grabbed hold of her head and angled it over to the right, where a table full of girls was. "You see Ino-chan, ne?"
"Hai," she answered, her lavender eyes landing on a certain blonde cheerleader.
"Well, the girl she set you up with, Haku, is the pretty brunette chick that is sitting next to her on her left."
Her light colored hues flicked over to the side, where Kiba was indicating. She wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but once she saw the girl, she sighed. Not only was her "date" beautiful, but she also seemed to be nice. How could she reject her so rudely? She would just have to let her down as abruptly yet politely as possible.

"Wow Haku-chan! It looks like Hinata-kun is giving you the look." Haruno Sakura said to the only male at the all female table. "How lucky! He's almost as cute as Sasuke-kun!"
Haku glanced up, plastering a fake smile on his face. How he hated this. No one would believe that he was really a male, so he would always pretend to be pleased with attention from males.
"Look, he's over there." The pinkette's hand stretched out to point in the general direction of a certain male… A Hyuuga male. He may have been prettier than Sasuke, but not handsomer. The Hyuuga's face wasn't strong like the Uchiha's and unlike Sasuke, he held an air of innocence around him that the darker boy didn't possess.
Ino glanced over to see who her friends were staring at, smiling widely when she noticed that it was HIM. "I see you've spotted your date for the evening, Haku-chan!"
The teen froze. "What?"
"Kiba-kun and I set you up on a date with Hinata-kun." The rest of the table squealed in unison, suddenly everyone giving him pats on his back, telling him how lucky he was.
Lucky? He thought with a frown. Yeah right. What man goes out with another? He glanced back over to Hinata, who was lying with his face down like the boy with the ponytail that sat next to him. This situation sucks.

She knew what to do in order to let the girl down easily. She decided to go to the meeting place dressed as she should; a woman. However, she was uneasy. Hinata tugged at the hem of her short black shorts, hyperaware of how many men were eyeing her long legs. She then pulled her violet sweater closer to herself. She had purchased this clothing just before the school started with every intention to wear it on her first day, but ended up losing her nerve and went as she always did—a boy. She had on long lavender and ebony striped socks that came up to her lower thigh area and ebony combat boots. This was as girly as she could manage.
She inhaled deeply and grasped the handle of the diner's door. Well, he said that she would be sitting on the third booth on the left. She pulled. Here goes nothing!
-Break-
He ignored the looks from the numerous females that were staring at him. He was wearing some form fitting MEN'S CLOTHING. He wore a tight, deep green long sleeved shirt that revealed that he did indeed have a physique to be proud of and black jeans.
His hands tapped against the wood of the diner's table as he waited rather impatiently for the Hyuuga to show up. He'll see that I'm really a guy and that will be it. Nothing more, nothing less.
The chime of the door bell tolling caused his head to snap up. This wasn't too popular of a diner, for he had been there with Ino a couple of times before. He knew that whoever it was that crossed over the threshold would be his date. His jaw dropped. It was the Hyuuga alright, and it seemed that she had one thing in common with him: Mistaken Gender.
He climbed up to his feet, feeling a genuine smile tug at his lips. She wore the same expression on her pouty lips after she got over the initial shock.
"Hello Haku-kun." She greeted, stepping forward with a small blush dusting her cheeks.
"Good evening, Hinata-chan." He whispered, their eyes locking. They shared one more smile before sitting down in their booth. This would be the start of an awesome relationship.

A/N: So, please review! And as I said in the beginning, if you want me to make this into a multi-chapter kind of thing, I've got to get enough people tell me that I should Maybe at least five people saying it. Thanx for taking the time to read you Koo Katz! ^~^
