Underestimated Complications
by Ayesha Raees

Hi, my name is Hyuuga Hinata and I am sixteen. I study at Konoha High and this is my second year.

My life is as simple as anything or maybe so much complicated that I don't want to think about it and I simply regard it at the back of my head, saying its 'simple'. Though I tell myself that it's simple because of many pointless reasons like I don't want to bother other people about it and something meaningless like things can't get any worst.

This was my life but everything changed after my father disowned me and kicked me out of the honourable Hyuuga Compound with a quest to prove myself that I could be an excellent, flawless, confident and respected daughter.

Chapter one

Sakura Blossoms

I wake up at the crack of dawn, something that other teenagers may consider impossible but for me, it's like I am following my daily routine. I have been waking up like since I was four, ever since my mom left my dad and I was given an unspoken duty to look after my little sister who was only two then. I never complained because I enjoyed the early mornings as there was nobody awake and the streets were nice and quiet. The smell of the air seemed delicious when I opened the window and the Sakura tree just outside my window, looked heavenly.

Sometimes I thought why I even bothered trying to prove myself to my father but that just things were. I was not a mere child neither was I someone who people regarded as unpopular. Sometimes I think that maybe I have changed but I discard this thought to the back of my head like always so I don't have to think about it. Sometimes in different matters, I don't like to think at all. Maybe I have to change that.

Noticing that there was hardly anybody around, I put on a sleeveless black shirt and knee length shorts before wearing my joggers and deciding to go for a jog. If there is somebody around, even a dog, I don't go out at all. It's a phobia maybe but I hate crowds and stares. And I don't just go around wearing sleeveless and shorts. I sometimes thank that the modern people don't wake up early.

After the jog, I returned to my room, took a nice cold shower and changed into my usual baggy shirt and trousers, all black, with a baggy purple jacket on top. After brushing my long midnight hair and tying them into a high ponytail, I picked up my bag and I walked quietly down.

It was only six and my school started at seven-thirty. I, like everyday, cooked a huge breakfast that would probably be fit for a king and eating a plate of pancakes, I left the rest on the table for my mother.

I lived with my mother now and she, surprisingly, didn't marry again even though she was and still is the most gorgeous woman that anyone could lay their eyes on. Me and my sister didn't really have any have contact with her after she left my father and when I was kicked out, I had absolutely no place to go. It was a surprise for me when I opened the phone book and found her name in "Shops and Accessories". It looked like my mother was a rich dress maker and lived in a huge beautiful house alone and I had no idea about it.

Judging by her wealth and the fact that she had left my father, I thought she wouldn't really have me but I was surprised when I called her and she started crying saying things like "Oh my baby…"

The words weren't even out of my mouth when she said "Why don't you come and stay over my house for sometime…"

I was more than glad. So actually she doesn't have any idea that my father had disowned me and I was actually on a quest to prove myself that I deserved the title as a Hyuuga.

Not everyone is a prodigy.

And anyway, my cooking, waking up early, humming sweetly, stuttering when speaking, blushing and shy ways wasn't actually what made my father happy.

After I ate, I went out of the house and started to walk slowly towards school, my hands in my pyjama's pockets, and my eyes towards the blue sky.

It was seven when I reached school and was sitting in my homeroom.

I rested my head in my arms and quietly stared out of the window.

I wasn't actually popular but I wasn't really the low class person either. In my old school, before my father had disowned me, I was a back seater who rarely had any friends and hardly talked at all. After getting disowned, I tried to get more socializing and of course, failed miserably.

The only reason people came to talk to me or sit beside me is because they wanted to know about my family and my past. They considered me as a mysterious quiet girl and as teenagers are so prying, they wouldn't probably leave me alone until I shout at them YEAH! MY FATHER IS A HYUUGA AND I AM A MULTIBILLIONIAR'S DAUGHTER AND MY MOM IS HOT AND SHE THE TSUKI UKATA! GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?

And probably after that, I would be getting friends from all kinds of groups and then in the end I would be dragged into the popular group who had access to everything and everyone.

It wasn't really high school, it was FBI.

Usually people from the school magazine came and sat down with me and sometimes I had to go to the ice cream shop, the park and THEN the mall to get rid of stalkers.

It was hell annoying. Why can't people just ignore from where I came from and just think how nice of a person I am and just be FRIENDS with me? I am just like a normal person.

Or maybe not.

And the fact that I have got lavender eyes just doesn't prove that I am considered normal.

The classes started and this time a girl, with huge glasses and sly looks, sat next to me and greeted my by saying "Hey Hinata, you look pretty today,"… which was a total lie because I noticed her sly eyes and deduced that she was from the school magazine and was just checking my reaction.

I simply said thank you and complimented on her sweater.

Everything was going great until something horrible happened at lunch.

Usually in the cafeteria, I would be sitting alone, trying to act as normally as I could and eating my homemade lunch. Usually, some curious people would sit next to me and we will end up in a comfortable (but boring) conversation. But usually I sat alone and I had no guts of getting up and joining anybody.

But this time at lunch, something awful happened. Yamanaka Ino, the second most popular girl, girlfriend of Nara Shikamaru, the chess champion and a HUGE genius, came over to my table and looked down at me with her bright blue (yet beautiful) eyes. I swallowed my chicken nugget with great force, trying my best not to choke.

Although many times I have been spied and asked frequent questions but not once have I been even looked by the popular kids. They were usually in the third year but they were all in my classes because all of my subjects were advanced. No, that actually doesn't mean I am a prodigy or something, I am just stupidly smart.

Or maybe I just work way too hard because I have no social life.

So anyway… Yamanaka Ino, who was wearing an amazing purple sleeveless shirt and a nice short skirt that could make my mom compliment at it, looked down at me and smiled.

There was a minute silence and I blinked up at her.

"May… May I help you?" I asked innocently.

Her smile turned into a giggle as she grabbed my upper arm and I was dragged from my chair towards the popular kid's table with only a yelp as a protest. She let go of me when we reached there and then sat down beside the pink haired beauty before staring up at me.

Actually the whole table was staring at me… no wait… the whole cafeteria was staring at me. I raised my eyebrows, suddenly feeling nervous.

Haruno Sakura, the prom queen for three straight years, cleared her throat and motioned me to take a seat next to a red head. I, obviously, didn't move.

Neither was I going to squeak out "What-what do you want?"

I stood there with an unbelievable expression. Was I just DRAGGED here? What would my father think if he saw that? I was putting shame on the Hyuuga name.

But of course when the whole cafeteria is staring at you, you can't obviously ignore everything and look like a clueless moron. So without another thought, I sat down to the boy with scary blue eyes and blood colour hair. His name was Sabaku Gaara. He was popular because…? I have no idea.

I fixed my curious eyes on Sakura who narrowed her eyes at me. I noticed Ino take out a notebook and a pen.

Oh shit…

Sakura suddenly slammed her hands onto the table and got up, her eyes staring at me sharply; making me hit the back of my seat in surprise.

"I will be as straight forward as I can," she said and suddenly stopped. She straightened up and glared at the cafeteria and suddenly the usual chatter and laughs began again. Satisfied, she looked back at me sharply. I felt a knot in my throat form quickly.

"As I was saying, I will be as straight as possible. I have been dared by a number of people to get information on you and as everyone knows that Haruno Sakura does not ignore a dare," she smiled sweetly but her voice was as loud and strict as before, "And I am going to find out every single thing that goes into your head so prepare yourself. From now on, you are going to sit here in the popular table and let me observe you! Is that clear!?"

During the process of her speech, my surprised look had gone from emotionless to hardcore and now it was slightly annoyed.

"As if," I said. Did I just stand up for myself?! NO WAY!

A huge intake of breath was inhaled not only by the way the whole popular table but by the whole cafeteria. It looked like everyone was silently listening and all that noise was just a disguise. And I replying back to Sakura like I was some kind of queen of England and it had just been my biggest mistake.

There was a minute silence as Sakura stared at me closely and then she suddenly turned to Ino.

"Note that down, she expresses her views when she is annoyed. That makes it the seventh point including her name, age, the fact that she is smart, the fact that she has no sense of fashion, she is quiet and she brings homemade lunch which shows that she is a mama's child or she is either loved by her mother a lot and maybe she is the only child."

Ino looked up from scribbling in the notebook.

"It can also show that she might be poor because she doesn't have any money to buy food from the cafeteria,"

"Right, point that down too,"

I was horrified. My lavender eyes were opened wide at them. I couldn't believe it… it was just too much for me. I wasn't poor. I was the daughter of Hyuuga Hiashi, the multibillionaire businessman and the daughter of a woman who was the world's famous dress designer. How the hell was I poor?

I was about stand up in rage and yell on top of my voice what exactly I thought of the whole thing but I quickly tried to calm myself down. Once my cousin told me that it is wiser to use a sarcastic tongue rather than an outright answer. Maybe I should follow it now.

I calmed myself down in a very quick amount of time and stared at Sakura with an amused expression.

"Wow, your IQ must be over thousand," I said

"Thing like that does not exist," Shikamaru replied from his spot.

"Exactly my point," I replied to his statement with only a careless glance.

Inside, my heart was beating so fast that I thought that it would collapse soon and my stomach was full of nervous butterflies.

Sakura was speechless.

"She can be sarcastic…"

But she wasn't able to continue.

"And I can be happy, sad, stupid, intelligent and a lots of things more," I answered her and then pretended to gasp, "Oh wait… that's what we call a Human,"

At the end of this comment, the whole table was triggered with grins, smirks and giggles.

Wow… I never thought I was that good.

Sakura smirked down at me.

"You are funny too," she muttered.

And suddenly I felt panic fill up at my chest. What happens if I say or do something wrong and against my conscience and it goes into the school newspaper and I am humiliated for the rest of my life and everyone starts to actually know me and that the fact I was disowned…! Oh the disgrace… Oh, I can't do this anymore.

Gathering up the last of my courage, I decided to end up the discussions. If you call it that.

I suddenly stood up and looked behind Sakura with a surprised look before pointing and shouting.

"Look, it's the principal in a ballet dress!"

The response was promising; everyone gasped and looked at where I pointed to spot something similar.

And of course there was nothing except for garbage cans.

And that's where I made my escape. I ran for it. I was pretty fast actually and my stamina wasn't something to be taken easy. Also for the fact that I was a black belt in martial arts. A Hyuuga should be prepared for everything.

And I was out of the cafeteria door when Sakura actually said "Where?"

I took a deep breath and kept running until I reached my classroom and sat down on the table with my head down.

I just cannot believe what just happened and what I just did.

Everyone was surprised when they saw her acting like that and it was nice to see that she was not some arrogant rich bitch who just like to keep her stuff to herself and only talk to people with her right amount of money.

And it was actually a relief to Sakura, he noticed.

Uchiha Sasuke shook his head to himself as he watched his best friend, Uzumaki Naruto burst into loud laughter which he was holding before.

Sakura, smirking and actually pleased that she was able to dig out something, sat down satisfied.

"That was pretty fast," Ino suddenly said.

"Professionally fast," Gaara added, his eyes narrowed in curiosity.

Everyone smirked, suddenly interested in what was happening.

Sasuke sighed inwardly. Maybe this wasn't as bad as it looked but he was personally against prying out information against a person's will. If she wanted to keep her family and her past to herself, then it was ok and everyone should understand that. He actually was outvoted by everyone on the table at this point even though Sakura had raised her hand to try to impress him. But the people, who were popular, WERE popular for a reason.

"Ok, what else should I add?" asked Ino, twiddling her pencil on her fingers.

"She is cute," Naruto suddenly added up.

Everyone stared at him.

"Well she IS!" he said defensively.

"Yeah, I think you should put that down," Sasuke suddenly said. He was surprised at himself for saying that… the last thing he knew that he wasn't interested in girls.

Everyone gasped at him. Naruto actually got up, pointed at him and shouted

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO WITH SASUKE!?"

Sakura went strangely pale.

Sasuke, annoyed, glared at Naruto and then added.

"If you don't add it, Naruto will keep me up all night on the phone, actually talking to himself, saying that how unfair people are and yes she is cute. That loser is my best friend and don't let me regret this fact more by every passing second," he added, glaring at Naruto with distaste.

"HEY!"

A sigh of relief came over the table. Sakura regained her colour.

"Yeah Naruto, Sasuke-kun, doesn't go for girls like her," she said before glancing at Ino's notebook and inwardly gasping when she noticed that Ino had written the word 'cute' on top of the page.

It was after some time when the bell rang when she realized that it was the first thing that Ino had actually written.
