Hinata Hyuga takes shelter from the rain under a tree . Why am I always so alone ? She asks herself . I have friends ... Or so I thought ... But no one ever wants to be with me . Am I really that horrible ?
All the sudden , leaves to the side of her begin to move . She stays silent and watches . A blonde boy stumbles out , soaking wet , with blood seeping down his side . After a few more steps , he collapses to the ground . The Hyuga girl rushes to his side and flips him over . Without thinking , she pulls his shirt up and examines his wounds . She softly cleans them , then wraps some bandages around him . She pulls him back to her dry tree and builds a fire .
A while later , the man sits up . He looks at the girl infront of him with a confused glance . "Who are you ?" He finishes his sentence with some sort of "un" noise .
"I-I'm Hinata Hyuga . Y-you passed out a-and you were wounded .." She looks down at her hands .
He looks her over and smiles . "I'm Deidara . Thank you for this ."
"I-it was no problem ." She smiles back .
"But you helped me !" He says while crawling closer to her . "How can I repay you ?"
"Repay me ? N-No , don't worry about it ."
"But I have to .." He sighs . "Why are you out here alone , anyways ? It's dangerous ."
"W-well .. I'm always alone ." She admits .
"What ." He shakes his head . "But you're so nice .. Where are you from ?"
"Konoha ." She states .
"Hmph .." He closes his eyes . "Konoha's a big city . Surely you have some friends ."
"W-well .. I guess I have Kiba and Shino .. They're my team mates .. But they never want to hang out with me . Uhm .. Sakura and Lee are always too busy training and stuff ... Naruto doesn't like hanging out with me , he says I'm too quiet for him .. And everyone else .." Hinata sighs .
"That isn't fair . You shouldn't have to be alone like this all the time . No offense , but your friends seem like assholes ."
Hinata shrugs . "N-Naruto-Kun's really nice though .. I'm just not good enough for him ."
"Whaaat ?" Deidara turns and looks the girl straight in the eyes . "Don't ever say that again ."
"But it's true .."
"Hinata-Chan ... You're an amazing , strong , sweet girl . Don't let others bring you down . If anything , they aren't good enough to be your friends . You deserve to be treated a hell'uva lot better than that .." He punches the ground angrily .. "So come with me .." He offers , looking back up at her .
"G-Go with you ?.." She repeats , shocked . "Go with you where ?"
Deidara looks away and huffs . "I belong to the Akatsuki Organization .."
She gasps . "Dei-Dei .. Deidara .." She stutters .
"I know , I know . I'm a bad guy , whatever . But in this situation .. Am I really the bad guy ? Everyone here ignores you and treats you like their slave .. You don't deserve that . You really don't . And I promise I'd treat you right ... We all would . In the Akatsuki , we're all family - a dysfunctional family , but still family ."
"But .. But .. Naruto .." She looks at the ground again . Deidara cups her chin and looks down into her pale orbs .
"Forget him . He doesn't deserve you , Hinata ."
A Couple Months Later
The pale skinned girl sits at the base of the tree where she first met Deidara . It's been two months since their encounter . She slumps againts the bark and begins to think of that day .. The way he looked into my eyes ... That cute smile of his ... Does he ?... No .. He couldn't ..
"Hina-Chan ?" The unexpected voice shocks her . She jumps and hits her head off the tree . "Oh shit ." Someone helps her up . "Are you okay ?"
Finally , Hinata gets to look at her visitor . It's Deidara , the man who hasn't left her mind since the day they met . "Deidara !" She gasps and throws her arms around him . When she realizes what she's doing , she jumps back and plays with her thumbs . They both blush a soft pink colour .
"H-have you thought about what I asked you ?" He asks shyly , slightly scared of the answer .
"About j-joining you ?"
"Yeah .."
"I d-don't know .." Hinata looks up at him . He looks away quickly .
"It would be good for you ... I promise I'd treat you right .."
"But I-I don't know if I could leave my family and friends-"
"Friends ? They treat you like shit , Hinata . You can't keep going on like that . It's not fair ! I refuse to let this happen any longer .."
Hinata thinks for a few minutes , then sighs . "O-Okay ..." She looks away . "I'll ... I'll join you . But not right now ... Give me a couple months , okay ? I-I want to be able to see everyone .."
"Okay .." He hugs her tight . "Meet me here in a week so I can see you again .. Two months was too long .."
Hinata blushes . "Wh-"
Deidara kisses her cheek , causing her to blush more .
Three Months Later
Hinata stands alone at the gate of Konohagakure , her hometown . With a soft sigh , she turns her back and begins to walk into the forest surrounding . Today is the day I stop helping everyone else and I help myself . I'm my own person , I don't need them . I can do this . Im not that weak little girl anymore . I'm stronger than everyone thinks . She smiles and starts running . Moving quickly , she manuvers her way down the reconizable path to the secret meeting place .
Three familiar , shadowy figures await her . She runs faster , eager to join them once again . "Hina-Chan !" Deidara greats her , encloser her in his arms .
"DeiDei ." She snuggles into his comfortable warmth and breathes in his intimate scent . "I've missed you .." She whispers .
"I've missed you too , Hina . I'm so happy .." He blushes slightly .
"Oh , how cute ." Hidan smirks . "Now come on . We have work to do ."
"Are you sure you want to do this , Hinata ? You can sit out if you'd like ." Itachi offers , trying to be nice to the seemingly weak Hyuga .
"No . I want this ." She smiles sweetly , then activates her Baykugan . "Where are the others ?"
"Already in the village . We just have to wait for their sig-"
"Now ." Leader's voice interrupts Deidara .
"Well . Let's go ." He smirks , grabbing Hinata's hand and running behind the others .
And so the battle commences . Hinata Hyuga , the believed weak , fragile girl , rises above the people who had tormented her for so long , and fights them to their deaths . The brawl is horrid , something you wouldn't expect from such a soft-spoken girl . She's finally being noticed - and she likes it . The attention makes her feel invincible , especially when others cringe beneath her power . She smiles while slashing the flesh of one of her former classmates .
"Fuck ." Deidara's voice interrupts her morbid enjoyment . She looks up to see something she knew she'd regret . Deidara and Naruto are at eachother's throats . She rushes towards them and gets in the middle . Naruto and Hinata stare at eachother for a what seems like hours , then Hinata pulls a kunai out of her pack and brings it to his throat . Their faces are almost touching .
"H-Hinata ! What are you doing ?!" He asks , startled .
"I-I loved you , Naruto Uzumaki ! I loved you ! I tried so hard to be the best , I even risked my life for you ! And you never cared ! You never fucking cared ! I did everything I could to be good enough for you , and yet , you still picked Sakura over me ! Sakura never did anything for you ! She'll never be good enough for you .. She'll never love you like I did .. But you couldn't see that . You never could .. and you never will ." She slowly pierces his skin , allowing the dark fluid to run down her arms and staind her coat . "You were my world .. But you let me down .. You broke me , you tore me apart . I can't take it anymore ! I can't !" Naruto tries to escape , but fails . "I'm sorry Naruto .. But if I can't have you .. No one can ." She slices through his skin , causing more blood to quickly flow all over her . Naruto looks into the pale girl's eyes .
"I .." He pants , feeling himself lose conciousness . "Always ... loved .. you .. Hina.. ta .." She gasps . The life fades from his eyes as he collapses to the blood-stained ground . Hinata falls to her knees and clings onto his fresh corpse . Suddenly , it disappears .
"Wha-" Before she even has a chance to finish what she was saying , warm arms enclose her .
"I meant what I said .. And I will always love you . I'm sorry ."
A sharp pain runs through Hinata's small body . "I .." Suddenly , warm blood begins ooze down her body . She looks down to realize the kunai in her chest . "Wh-What ?.." Slowly , the darkness overcomes her , and she becomes limp in Naruto's arms . He begins to sob as he falls to the ground , still holding the Hyuga girl .
A Couple Years Later
Naruto Uzumaki carries a bouqet of lavender and roses . It's storming outside , but then again , it always storms on this day . It's been four years .. And yet it still storms on this day every single year . He flashes a sad smile , remembering the events of that tragic day .. He stops when he finally reaches his designated place .
A tombstone with a large shrine around it . Hinata's smiling face looks down at him . "Hey , Hinata ." He sets the flowers ontop of her grave . "There's never a moment when you aren't on my mind .. even after all these years .." He sighs , trying to get rid of the tears he feels coming . "I ment what I said that day . I hope you know that .. I love you , Hinata Hyuga . I always will .."
