Chapter 1

Chance encounters and unusual Hobbies.

Hinata Hyuga sat at her desk staring at the ever slow moving clock…

'2:55! Just five more minuets of this torture…' she thought as she leaned back in her chair popping her back in the process against it's back.

Her teacher and classmates where thinking along similar lines. You see it was the final day of the term at Konoha's Leaf Academy Private school. 'Why couldn't I have just gone to public school they are already out for the summer..' Hinata grumbled to her self all day she had been sneaking glances out her window to see kids her age going here and there enjoying the first days of summer.

'Oh yeah that's right I'm the heir to a million dollar cooperation so I must attend a prestigious school.' She thought recalling the conversation she had with her father her freshmen year. She was now a sophomore and was about to be a junior. And in those two years she had yet to make any friends. She just didn't fit in with the snobby prep school environment. She couldn't stand the generally snobby and snooty attitude that ninety plus percent of the school had.

'2:59! One more minuet!' she thought and watched the second hand slowly make it's way down the clock face only to come back up after reaching the six. And after what seamed like an eternity it reached the twelve and a chime sounded through out the school signifying the end of the day and with it the end of her second term as a sophomore as well as the end of the school year.

Everyone rose hurriedly trying to head for the door as her Teacher Iuka called out, "See you all in two months Juniors."

"Thank you Iruka-Sensei." Hinata said waving a farewell to her instructor on of the few people that she actually like because he didn't carry the snooty persona that permeated the atmosphere of the school.

Before long Kids all began to poor from the Victorian styled campus leaving for the summer. She exited the main building along with the crowd and began making her way down the steps and onto the school grounds. There was three building to the campus the main building against the North wall and then slightly smaller buildings along the East and West. The main building stood towering above her at least four story with it's Victorian Architecture. She looked back glad to be able to get away from it's imposing height for a few months. While some students returned to the dorms to pack there bags to return home for the summer she began making her way to the gated exit of the schools compound. Her house being a short distance away allowed her to walk to and from school on most days. So as she left the gates she turned in the proper direction and began her trek home.

As she walked her uniform became quite hot so she unbuttoned all of the buttons to the sweater vest except the bottom one witch allowed it to open and let a cooling breeze blow against the thin fabric of her white dress shirt as she loosened the black tie that was around her neck. Her uniform consisted of black round toed flats that buckled securely near the ankle as well as knee length stockings. And a plaid skirt that rested just an inch or so above her knees, a white dress shirt and black tie and a v cut button down sweater vest. Upon the vests right breast was the Leaf Academy crest a leaf formed from on continuous swirling line.

She smiled as she ran a hand threw her short cropped hair. Unlike most of the girls who attended the Academy with her she didn't grow her hair out. And because of it she was teased by others with names like Dyke and Lezbo. But she didn't care her mother had worn her hair this way and it was her way of remembering her.

That simple act brought her thoughts back to that place and oh how she hated it. In truth she had no friends because she didn't fit in. And because of it she had become shy and introverted never really speaking to anyone unless spoken to. The only person she really liked was her teacher Iruka but he was still a teacher and nothing more in her eyes. He just happened to be the only nice one.

She shook her head and pushed the thoughts out of her head. It was summer and she wouldn't have to deal with any of those people for two full months. She looked up and saw the fork in the street she was following. The left would take her to her house and the right would send her deeper into town. Deciding she wanted to continue to walk around and enjoy the day she pulled out her phone and messaged her father that she wouldn't be home tell later and made her way down the right side of the fork and into town. She reached into her purse and pulled from it and MP3 player and placed the headphones in here ear and put it to shuffle and began listening to music smiling as she walked.

She walked for about a half hour and before a sound came in through her music that she didn't have up to loud. It sounded kind of like gun fire but not quite as loud or lethal sounding. She looked off the bridge she was crossing and saw a bunch of net's that where at least a hundred feet long a peace. And behind these nets what looked like a war was taking place. People where running hear and there shooting at one another with the guns that where making the sound she was hearing and taking cover behind inflatable obstacles. Some of witch where shaped like pyramids or big soda cans while others where long and narrow.

The people in the net's closest to her caught her attention they where probably only fifty feet away so she could see them well from the vantage point of the street she was walking on.

The game they where playing was far to chaotic for her to really understand so she just watched blankly until the game ended. The two sides switch to opposite ends of the field one team looking straight at her they all gathered around a structure that looked kind of like a sign witch she figured was a starting point as the team closest to her did the same. They all put a hand on it and shifted there weight forward as if to run from it. And after a few seconds a whistle blasted from the other people who wore referee jerseys and in an instant every tore away from the boxes and brought their guns to bear on the enemy team. The rapid fire reports of the gas powered guns filled the air as well as a unique plunking sound of the ammunition fired from each gun struck the inflatable cover objects.

"So this is Paintball…" she said to herself as one player walked off the field with a bright yellow splatter it was kind of shocking to see these people playing the game it was obviously strategic and not just people running around shooting paint at each other like she thought. From what she could see everyone made moves while coordinating with there team to press there attack while simultaneously reacting to the enemy counter attack. It was similar to watching a chess game as each move was meticulously thought out before being made. A rock song started to play from her MP3 player as a player form the team that had started facing her took off at a run from a place further back the field closer to her before leaping into the air and diving on his chest into a set of low cover. The song matched the tempo of the game well and further served to pump Hinata up as she watched eagerly.

The boy she watched run into the low cover began to crawl along it's length and every now and then he would pop up and fire a bit. Hinata could see him using both index and middle fingers to walk across the long trigger causing the rapid fireing sounds that where coming into her ears over the distorted guitars of the rock music. The team the boy played for was ahead as most of the other team was eliminated.

Then she saw the boy in the low cover stand and sprint towards the last remaining player on the other team. He brought his gun to bear and fired several shots at point blank range. The shots stitched up his targets arm and ended with a splatter across the facemask that each player wore.

The boy looked himself over for paint along with a referee and then proceeded to grab a flag that had been hung over the other teams start box and walked back to the other side of the field where his teammate where whooping and trading high fives at there victory.

Hinata suppressed a laugh as the boy hung the flag one of his teammates ran at him and jump on him like a soccer team would celebrate after scoring a big goal. The other three joined in the dog pile as there calls could be heard from where she was.

Eventually the boy extricated himself from the pile and looked up and noticed her looking out over the field. Despite the distance and the fact that his mask had a chrome mirror finish she could tell they where looking each other in the eyes. She could almost see the confident smirk behind the mask as he waved at her before he and his team exited the field.

It was then she noticed that the sun was starting to set so she made her way home by turning around and heading back the way she came.

Part way through retracing her steps she took a shortcut that she knew to get her home faster. It was starting to get close to dinner time and not many people frequented the streets like before but she did notice a group of three men sitting around on the corner of the street she needed to turn down to make it home.

When she approached they stopped her. "Hey what's a girl like you doing out all by yourself?" the man said causing her to take a better look at him. He was probably about for years her senior putting him at about twenty. His head was shaved bald and he had several piercings on his face including nose, lip, and eyebrow, and had a menacing quality in his all most yellow brown eyes.

"Yeah there's bad people in this town who would love to do horrible things to a girl like you." Another one spoke up almost equally as ugly with his chopped up neon pink hair and similar piercings.

The other one merely laughed being the biggest out of the bunch and obviously not the brightest bulb out of the three. But he was tall muscular and had greasy blond hair that needed to be washed with a fire hydrant.

"I'm just making my way home if you will excuse me…" she said trying to push past the goons but the bald one stuck out an arm and grabbed forcefully by the hip.

"Not so fast baby we wouldn't want anything to happen to you…" he said his obvious sarcasm not lost on Hinata. 'this is going bad…' she though with a little edge of panic welling up with in her chest.

"Let go of me!" she said loudly pushing with all of her strength against the mans arm to break his hold. It broke and she tried to run but the bald one called.

"Larz Grab her! Don't let her get away." And the dumb on moved quickly and grabbed her by the shoulders where he then quickly pinned her against the wall of an apartment building none to gently.

Hinata felt her breath leave her as her back made contact with the wall. Reacting quickly on instinct she kicked her left foot out where it made contact with the big mans groin.

He quickly let go of her as he cupped himself and bit his lip in pain. The bald one seeing this quickly reacted and back handed her across the face.

Her check exploded in pain as she lost her balance and emitted a yelp as she hit the ground hard skinning her knee in the process.

"that wasn't nice you little bitch…" said his voice was cold and hard and lacked the earlier sarcasm.

He grabbed her by the hair and began to drag her off towards a near by alley. "AH! LET GO OF ME!" she yelped as he pulled her hair harder continuing to drag her.

The pain forced her eye's shut while she continued to futilely struggle. When she heard the sound of feet running heavily against the concrete and someone shout "HEY!" Followed quickly by the sound of a fist colliding with flesh.

The man who was holding her hair let go and emitted a strange noise as he fell away from the girl. Hinata opened her eye's to see a boy standing in front of her. He was tall about 5'11 with long blond hair that fell down around his head in disorderly spikes. The clothing he wore was unique in her opinion his pant where black all the way up to his thighs and from there they broke into a digital urban cammo pattern up to the waist. The knees of the pants seemed to be padded as well and they appeared to be covered in brown and yellow dirt. He also wore a under armor t-shirt that show off the tone of his chest and stomach. He stood facing away from her staring down the three goons that where trying to take her.

"I believe the lady wanted to be let loose." The boy said his voice tinged with a hard edge that carried a clear threat.

"You've done gone and screwed up now…" the man the boy punched said as he rose to his feet spitting a little blood from his mouth where the boys fist cause him to bite his cheek.

The boy didn't respond he only just lowered his stance a little and brought his fists to bear on the goons ready for anything.

"GET HIM!" the bald one called and his two buddies rushed forward with him bringing up the rear.

Hinata had taken the time bought by her savior to back off of the group and get to her feet. She watch as the big one reached the boy first and tried to hit him with a old fashioned hay maker on for the boy to reach out and grab his arm and use his momentum against the big man and send him running into the wall where a audible crunch could be heard as the mans nose connected with it.

"You'll pay for that!" the pink haired man called as he snapped out a kick witch the boy blocked with a forearm. The boy used the hole in the mans guard to lash out with a right handed punch to the chest followed closely by the left this time aimed for the face. The blow grazed off and the bald man entered the fray trying to hit the boy from behind.

The boy must have had some fighting experience though because he sensed the presence behind him and spun out of the way to avoid the punch to the back of his skull. And before the bald man could react the boy brought him into a clinch and drove a knee into his chest.

Though not super effective due to the padding of his pant it still stung and cause him to double over allowing the boy to send a viscous uppercut to the mans teeth and knocking the bald man on his back.

The pink haired guy tried to attack from behind but soon found him self being tossed over the boy's shoulder and onto his very own boss.

"You boy's had enough yet?" The boy asked with a smirk adorning his face.

During the quick exchange Hinata was able to get a clear look at the boys face he had cobalt blue eye's that where set and hard as he looked at the mean slowly picking themselves off the floor. His eyes glanced at her for a second and lightened before turning back to the matter at hand.

"Your gonna pay for that kid we where taking it easy on you. But now where gong to kill you…" the bald man said reaching in his pocket he produced a butterfly knife witch he opened showing a certain level of skill with the flashy weapon.

The pink hard man fooled with something around his waste for a second before unhooking a chain witch he began to spin vertically off to his right side away from his boss.

"YOU BROKE LARZ NOSE!" the big one yelled, sure enough the mans face was covered in blood and his nose was slanted at a funny angle witch explained why he sounded even dumber to prior the fight. "NOW LARZ BREAK YOU!" He yelled again as he reached inside his pockets to produce a pair of brass knuckles.

"Come on guys this hardly seems fair…" the boy said putting his arms up defensively.

"That's the point idiot." The pink haired man said failing to catch the hint of dry sarcasm in the boys voice.

"Get Him!" the bald man said as the three charged with their weapons.

Now Hinata was afraid for the boy and finally shocked out of her mild stupor as she reached for her purse to pull out her phone to dial the police.

The three goons attacked as one with the pink haired man lashing out low with his impromptu whip. And the heavy man following behind the attack with the knuckle duster set to do prime damage.

The boy hopped over the chain but couldn't avoid the fist completely as the spike closest to the big mans pinky finger cut along the outside of face right next to his eye. The boy didn't call out but only gritted his teeth in pain as he jumped back to avoid a knife strike from the bald guy.

The situation appeared hopeless to Hinata as the boy continued to avoid the weapons. Tell he saw a chance they had back him up against a light poll and the pink haired man lashed out with the chain only for the boy to duck the strike allowing it to wrap around the poll.

With the boy seizing the opportunity pressed an attack on the chain in the form of a mighty cloths line that made the mans head bounce sickeningly off the pavement rendering him unconscious.

"YOU PAY!!" the big man yelled launching a new assault against the boy who had disabled one of his comrades. The boy was placed on his heals as he ducked and dodged the mans heavy hands.

He continued this until coming against the apartment wall where he ducked low to avoid the brass knuckles aim for his head

Hinata had just hung up her phone having alerted the authorities heard the gut wrenching crunch as the brass knuckles cracked the apartment wall and shattered the mans hand. "AHH!!!" he screamed in pain grabbing the shattered appendage.

The boy made a split decision and decided to remove the big man from the fight before he decided to go berserk again. Still in a low crouch from ducking the life ending punch he sprang forward into the big mans gut where he continued to pump his feet against the massive weight until he slammed the big guy into a newspaper holder. Thankfully it was bolted down so it didn't budge.

The big guy slumped as the air was sucked out of his lunges by the impact and the boy launched two powerful right hand into the mans face before backing off allowing for him to slump forward and look down.

The boy not wanting to allow for the dangerous threat to get back up quickly chambered a kick in his right leg before releasing it like a football punter. Knocking the mans head back into the glass of the newspaper stand.

The boy stood coming out of his fighting stance and looked like he was about to breath a sigh of relief when Hinata saw the knife wielding man try to sneak from behind to stab the boy in the back of the head. "LOOK OUT!!!" she called as the man lunged at him.

Here the girls warning he turned just in time to see the knife come at his face. He pulled his head to the left and the blade missed his mouth by centimeters but still cut deeply into his cheek.

"Ah!!" the boy let out a startled cry as he brought his fist up in a uppercut that more than likely shattered the bald mans jaw.

The man fell knife clattering to the ground behind the boy with a heavy thud and a groan. Hinata was in shock to say the least she had been single handily saved by a boy she didn't even know. He turned and she noticed his eye's shown with certain happiness about him and he wore a smirk on his face that gave him a very foxish appearance despite the cut near his eye and the deep gash on his right cheek. This was the boy that she had lock eye's with at that paintball field as the clothing he wore clicked into place those where the same pants the boy had worn but instead of the under armor shirt he had been weary a long sleeved jersey that matched to his pants. But it was unmistakably him.

"Um… Hi" he said sounding awkward in this situation as the blood from his cheek dripped down onto his under armor shirt. He brought up a hand that had bloody knuckles from the fighting and rubbed the back of his head. "My names Naruto Uzumaki and I don't think we've met. I would offer you a hand to shake but they are a little messed up right now, but what's your name?" He asked smiling while bleeding.

Well that's it for this chapter what do you think so far? Send me a review and let me know what you think I wrote this chapter at work btw.
