Pretty Eyes
Chapter 1: Green & White
-Sae
AN: This fanfiction is more serious compared to my other fictions. In this chapter, it contains Shikamaru helping Hinata for the first time. I know this pairing seems rather odd, but I do think I can make a wonderful story out of it! Thank you for reading.
(Hinata and Shikamaru are both probably 8 years old in this chapter)

Young Hinata ran through the forest and into the town. 'I must get away from all this…' She reached the town and bumped into a boy her age. "I'm sorry… please forgive me!" Her voice stuttered and she gasped once she heard heavy footsteps behind her.
She ran around this young child and quickly sped down that road.
The boy was confused but he shrugged it off and kept walking. He walked until he bumped into a group of other kids.
The crowd noticed him, "Ah! Shikamaru! Have you seen a girl with freaky looking eyes?"
"…Nope." And he walked off to the grass plain to enjoy his day rather then chasing a helpless girl along with a group of bullies.
He sat on the grass and let out a heavy sigh; he dropped his body onto the grass and laid there relaxingly staring above at the sky.
His ears perked as he heard quick little footsteps and he sat up looking over to a girl with short blue hair who was trying to run down the steep hill. And with his eyes, he saw her trip.
Shikamaru hurried up and ran over to her, "Hey, are you alright?"
It was little Hinata and she coughed, "…Yea."
He grabbed her hand and pulled Hinata up. She looked so sad and Shikamaru looked down at her legs and noticed there were scratches and bruises everywhere.
Some voices started to come nearer and he was sure it was the crowd of kids that were looking for Hinata.
Shikamaru hurried and grabbed her hand and dragged her into the forest close by.
Hinata had an innocent and confused look plastered on her face. "What…? Where are you taking me?" She noticed this, she wasn't scared.
He dragged Hinata by her little hand and took her to a small stone cave to hide. And they both sat there, quiet.
"So…" Shikamaru started to speak, "How long have those bullies started to chase you?"
Hinata spoke quietly, "Ever since I started school… but I am kind of use to it. I have to accept I'm a freak sometime or another…" She brought her knees up to her chest and hugged herself tightly.
Shikamaru frowned, "A freak?" He regretted saying those words.
She nodded slightly and looked up to him, "It's because of my eyes." Hinata said to him pointing at her face, frowning.
"But… You have the prettiest eyes I've ever seen." He said to her with so much confidence, "Don't worry about what they think about you, just know that I like your eyes… very much." His cheeks started to blush a light warm pink and he looked away from her.
She smiled and tears came from her pretty white eyes, "Thank you so much…"
Shikamaru saw her cry and he panicked, "I'm sorry! Did I hurt you?"
But what he did was something that shocked Hinata.
He gently licked the tears off her cheek. She calmed down and closed her eyes and said with a sweet voice, "Thank you…"
Once Shikamaru pulled away and sat beside her, he apologized, "I'm sorry; my hands were dirty, I remembered when I was younger I thought tears tasted quite yummy so I wanted to taste yours and… they were sweet."
She smiled softly at his, "That's nice of you to say that about me as well." They both laughed.
Hinata remembered something, "Ah… What's your name?"
Shikamaru looked at her with a soft smile and said happily, "Just call me Shikamaru."
She giggled, "Alright, well, just call me Hinata."

AN: I liked this chapter and the pairing oddly. I'm not really sure if it's a popular pairing, but I like them together. Honestly, Hinata goes well with most of the characters, my opinion that is. Thank you for reading and I know I will update very soon.
In the next chapter, they'd be their teenage self and everything will be nice and lovey dovey until someone else comments on Hinata's pretty eyes and troubles stir up.
