Hinata Hyuuga wasn't the best off. She was only weak in Hyuuga Standards, which was bad enough. She only wanted two things in life. To be strong enough so her father would recognize her as the Heiress of the clan. She also wanted to heart of Naruto Uzimaki. He was her hero and everything she looked up to. She just wanted to be with him.

But her dreams were shattered when she heard the worst news ever. She was walking down the streets when she heard some villagers talking. "The Hokage is dead?" That was enough to stop her in her tracks.

The current Hokage was Naruto. Hinata turned around and faced the person who said the Hokage is dead. "The Hokage is dead? How did he die!" She almost shouted. The man looked a bit shocked. "The Akasuki, there were trying to get that demon fox out.

They did but Naruto was killed in the Progress" Hinata's eyes wided. "Naruto…" she whispered. She looked up and the Hokage tower. She ran as fast as she could toward it.

She didn't pay attention to the guards. She just ran all the way to Naruto's office. The Elders were there talking. She looked around. All she saw was an empty desk and the surprise faces of the elders. "Where's Naruto!" She shouted. She felt her eyes began to get wet.

One of the elders that she knew came up and put a hand on her shoulder. Hinata looked at the old face. She dropped to her knees. "I'm sorry" the elder said. Hinata wasn't even listening. She thoughts of Naruto were running threw her head. Then tears ran down her cheeks. She didn't bother to wipe them. She started sobbing. "No…No…he's not dead!" she said in-between sobs.

That was the worst day of Hinata's life. After she broke down in tears the elders told her she better go home. She just nodded and slowly went home. She locked herself in her room. She wouldn't talk to anybody.

Hanabi tried coaxing her out but it led to more tears. Neji tried by force but Hinata was stronger then he thought and would always run back in. Hinata's father kept talking about her duties as a clan leader to get her out. Hinata just broke down in tears.

Sakura even came over. Hinata let her in but they both broke down in tears after talking. Still Hinata wouldn't move from her room. Then she finally left her room for Naruto's funeral. She dressed in all black and her eyes were red and puffy.

She stood with sakura watching all the people put flowers on the coffin. Hinata couldn't bear it. She covered her face with her hands and started to cry. She felt arms around her. It was sakura her face stained with tears also. After the funeral you almost never saw Hinata Hyuuga, except for missions and clan meetings. Other then that she was in her room. The Heiress always wore a frown and never smiled. She was as weak as ever, she never tried anymore.

It took her forever to realize that Naruto was really dead. She kept on telling her self that Naruto was still alive but she lied, she lies to herself a lot. But she doesn't believe her self anyway.

So she didn't get a lot of missions. She got visits from her team mates everyday, but nothing helped. So even if Kohona needed her, she was always so sad.

But Kohona did need her. The Kyuubi was on the run being controlled by the Akasuki. They finally found out how to tame it and would after Kohona, so many of the Jounin were sent to find the Akasuki. Hinata was only Chunin, so she didn't get sent.

One day Hinata went to visit Naruto's grave, like she did many days. There were never a lot of people there, but today there was some one there. He wore long white ropes and a big hat. 'The kazekage?' She thought. Sakura had told her that Kohona was trying to get help from Suna. So the new Hokage and The Kazekage were having a meeting today.

She stood next to the kazekage and down at the stone with naruto's name on it. She looked up at the man next to her. It was Gaara. If she was her old self she would haven't even ventured next to him. She would have run. His cold stare looked down at her. She didn't change her frown. She dug in her bag for the flowers she bought from Ino. She set them on the grave.

Then she felt her tears coming back. She tried not to show it but it was hard keeping down her sobs. She tried wiping the tears, but more just came streaming down her face. She couldn't hold it and the sobs escaped. She covered her face and cried once again. After awhile she finally calmed down and bit. She wiped her tears once more.

She looked up. Gaara was staring down at her. Hinata though he left already. She stood up again and looked down at the grave. Gaara looked at her. She wanted him to stop but she didn't feeling like talking. So the two stood by them selves.

Then Hinata wondered why Gaara was here. She turned to him and noticed how short she was to him. "Why are you here?" she flatly said. If she were her old self she wouldn't even had said anything, but she clearly wasn't her old self since she lost Naruto. "To look at Naruto" He said just as flatly as she did.

"Why do you care about Naruto?" Hinata didn't know why but she wanted to know how Naruto knew Gaara. "I don't care, people die. He was just different, the same as me" Gaara stared down at the grave once again. "Naruto was different" She whispered.

Then she felt tears start to drip again. "Stop Crying" She heard Gaara say. She looked over and he was glaring at her. She was a bit shocked but didn't move. "Why?" For some reason Hinata wasn't afraid of him. Because she didn't fear or care anything anymore. "There's nothing to cry about" Hinata clenched my teeth. "What do you mean? Naruto just died!" He glared once again. "People always die" The tears slide down my cheeks to the ground.

"But Naruto was different, he was special. He was my…hero" Gaara just glared. I just looked at the ground. "Every body's the same" I wiped my cheeks again. "No there not, everybody is different." I could just feel Gaara's glare.

"Everybody acts the same, the hate everything that is different. They Hated Naruto didn't they? Because he had a demon in him? How can he be a hero when he destroyed your village?" I looked up.

"He didn't destroy the village! The fox did! It wasn't his fault! Not everybody hates him! Don't you have a demon in you? Not everybody hates you, right? Everybody's different" I said. "You're wrong, everybody still does hate me" I gasped. That's not true everybody has somebody right. "What about your brother and sister?"

"They are different, they don't love me. They just tolerate me" Then he turned around and started walking. "That's not true!" I shouted. He turned and glared but kept walking.

Hinata stood there not really wanted to believe there was people like that. No wonder he was a killer.
