Ashiteru, Hinata
Chapter one: Retarded Coincidences on the second day of school
The blue haired girl pressed her fingers together, as she stared at Naruto. Her white jacket hung way over her waist and ended half-way down to her shorts that ended at her knee. Her pearl white eyes were different from her brother Neji's, because if you looked hard enough, you could see faint lavender pupils. Her face was usually pale white, but when ever she was in the same room as him, it heated into a bright pink. She almost always hid her face, because of: 1. Teen angst and 2. She thought Naruto thought she was ugly.
She knew she hadn't much chance with her, because he cared for that god damned Haruno girl, Sakura. She was so sick of Sakura, even though she didn't show it. In fact, there was much not known about Hyuuga Hinata. First of all, she lived in a mansion crawling with guards. Two, she was the shyest girl in Konohagakure, and third, her brother Neji was the closest member of her family.
As she watched Naruto, the teacher, Tsunade-dono, rapped her ruler on Hinata's desk. "Miss Hyuuga, could you mind telling me the difference between a male's chromosome and a female's chromosome?"
Hinata stood up shyly and said, "Y-yes Tsunade-dono. M-men are Y chromosome, w-while women are XX c-chromosome." She sat down, hoping with all her heart that Naruto had seen her. 7th grade was hard enough, and she needed someone to care for her. She sat down and peered over at Naruto. He returned a huge smiled. She bowed her head, never leaving eye contact, and giggled, a profuse blush rushing to her cheeks. Then she turned back to her work, which she had already finished. Some people around our time, not to be stereo-typical, would call Hinata a geek. This was not so for some of the most popular people in school, Shibiku No Gaara, Temari, Inuzuka Kiba, and his dog Akamaru, Nara Shikamaru, Rock Lee, Akimichi Chouji, Aburame Shino, Yamanaka Ino and Uchiha Sasuke. Sakura was the other, and Hinata and her were huge rivals.
Once class had ended, Hinata quickly gathered her stuff. "Ano! Hinata!"
She turned around, and Naruto bumped into her, spilling all of her, and Naruto's stuff all over the floor. "Hinata! Gomenasai! I'm really sorry. Let me help you!" He started to pick up her stuff. Hinata bent over as well. As she was gathering her stuff, Naruto's hair tickled her face. She got down lower, so that no one else would see her blushing.
After she was sure the blush was gone, she stood up and took her stuff from Naruto. "Do-Domo arigato, Naruto-san."
"No prob, Hina-chan! And good job on that question. It is only the second day and you're smarter than everyone in the class!"
She blushed again. Dammit, she thought, why am I so damn shy? I want to act normal when I am around him. I want to act normal everywhere…
She walked away briskly so that Naruto saw that she liked him. He stared back at her. You really need to give up on Sakura-chan, boy said Kyuubi.
