DISCLAIMER: This is purely fan-made. I do not own any of the Naruto characters or plot, or anything Naruto for that matter, because with my off-track mind, who knows what would have happened to those poor characters. This is my fic though, so ha! I technically do own something Naruto, I found a way around it stupid creaters, so there! What now? Um… This is NaruHina, aka, NarutoxHinataxNeji, so slight incest, but it's one-sided, for now. Naruto might be a little OOC in the first few chapters, but he should warm up later. Don't like, don't read… Okay, on with the fic!

Naruto's POV:

I was walking through the school grounds after detention. Trust me to get one in the first week back. When I saw a crowd forming around the pool, despite the fact that school was barely starting, the swim club had already started practicing.

I walked over to the doorway when I heard the immense cheering. Pushing my way to the front, I saw a blonde fall gracefully into the water head-first. That wasn't what caught my eye though. What really caught my eye was the girl standing on the diving board now. She had long, dark hair with pale skin and eyes. She looked familiar, but I just couldn't place from what.

She looked down at the pool unsurely, as though she were afraid of what she was going to do. She turned her back on it and took a deep breath, closed her eyes and jumped.

Her body arched in the air before she finally curled in on herself and summer-salted four times before she straightened herself and landed in the water barely splashing. Everyone around me broke into ear-splitting cheers that caused my head to spin. Sakura waved me over from across the room when I was about to leave in order to save my ear drums.

"Hey, Sakura, what's up?" I asked walking toward her. She and Sasuke had been dating for a few months now, but I didn't see him anywhere.

"I just saw you and thought I should ask why you were here. You don't seem to be the type to stay after school just to watch swim club practice," she said, sitting on a bench close to the diving board.

"I was in detention. Where's Sasuke? Weren't you going to hang out with him today?" I asked, looking around for the girl who just dived.

"His brother, Itachi came home today and he said he needed to go catch up with him. And I though you wouldn't ask," she sighed. "Who are you looking for anyway?"

I jumped, "Who said I was looking for anyone?"

"Just tell me."

"Who's the girl that just jumped?"

Sakura looked surprised, "Hinata? Why?"

"Does that really matter to you?" I asked, getting annoyed at her persistence.

"Fine, Hinata! Come here, someone wants to talk to you!" Sakura beckoned to the girl standing with a guy that looked sort of like her, but he had brown hair instead.

She said something to the guy and waved as she walked toward us. The guy didn't seem too happy, but I didn't know if it was because of what she had said or if it was because she was walking away from him without really saying anything.

"Sakura, what is it? Who wanted to talk to me?" She spoke softly and blushed when she saw me.

"What was Neji telling you this time? He wasn't telling you to stay away from people like me, was he?" Sakura said. Then she seemed to drop it without an answer and jerked her thumb at me and said, "This idiot wanted to talk to you about something. He refuses to tell me, but if he gives you any trouble at all, be sure to tell me, I'll kick his ass."

"Sakura, don't tell her that. And there's no way you'd kick my ass!" I said, not in the mood for Sakura's stupid games. I looked at Hinata again and noticed that she was staring at me wide-eyed. I couldn't stand people looking at me like that. I'd been stared at like that ever since my parents died in a car accident. "Why are you staring? It's not very nice, you know."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to… I was just…" She stuttered and I couldn't help looking at her closer.

"C'mon," I said, holding out my hand to her.

She looked shocked and I realized that my jacket had slipped up my arm, showing her the scars I had on my forearm. I quickly pulled my arm back, pulling the sleeve back down to cover the marks. "Um… how did you get those?"

I looked sideways at her warily; I was tired of hiding them from everyone, but not enough to tell someone I'd just met. I had hidden them ever since the accident when people looked at me oddly because of them.

Sakura spoke up then, "Hinata, don't feel bad if he doesn't tell you, he won't even tell me what they're from," she glanced at me hesitantly, "but I think I have a guess."

I didn't really want her to say it, so I interrupted, "Save your guesses for later Sakura, I'm not really in the mood for your guesses."

"Fine. Hinata, you should probably go now, I'll cover for you. I don't think that Kurenai will mind you leaving early though.

"C'mon, Hinata, I don't really want to be overheard," I said.

"Okay, just let me grab my bag," she said, leading me over to a corner with a bunch of bags. She pulled one out from the far corner and tugged on a pair of sweats over her suit before pushing me out the back door so that our leaving wouldn't be as easily noticed.

Once we were out of the school, I decided that I should at least say something. We'd been walking in an almost awkward silence for too long. I glanced at her and almost said something when I heard a car pull up in front of the school.

"Hey Naruto, what're you up to now? Did you get another detention?"

I looked into the car to see Itachi smirking with Sasuke in the front seat.

"Well, for your information, I'm not the perfect child like Sasuke or a prodigy like you, so, yes, I did. Why are you patrolling around in Fugaku's car Itachi? Did you leave your Ferrari at home?" I mocked, copying his smirk.

"He doesn't care. And I was sent to find you and bring you back alive. My father isn't too happy with the latest developments in your grades."

I sighed; couldn't the guy leave me alone? Suddenly, I had the best idea. "Whatever, but I was finding myself a tutor while you were out looking for me when it should be obvious where I was," I said, twisting my head around to look at Hinata. "Right, Hinata?"

She blushed and nodded quickly. She seemed afraid of the Uchihas sitting in the cop car parked on the shoulder. I guess I never realized it, but when you weren't used to them, they could be intimidating. They'd taken me in after my parents died when I was six, so I just figured that was how you were supposed to act and tried to copy their habits myself.

Sasuke looked at her questioningly through the window. "You do know what you're getting yourself into, don't you? I mean, the guy's basically mental."

Hinata jumped a little and glanced at me nervously, "I don't think it should matter, should it? If someone needs help, shouldn't you?"

Itachi laughed, "Like Americans do, huh? Even when they should keep their noses out of other's business, they refuse to step away. Come on then, get in. You can start today, can't you?"

"Of course I can. I guess, but I need to call my father first."

Itachi nodded, pulling out his cell phone and handing it to her as she got in. When I sat down, she was already speaking quickly into the phone, explaining everything to whoever was at the other end. There seemed to be a pause before I heard someone yelling into the speaker from the other end. Hinata started panicking and quickly said, "Tell Father I won't be back until later tonight, Neji. I'm going to the Uchihas' to tutor someone," she sighed as she closed the phone, trembling slightly.

"Hinata, what's wrong? What did your family say?" Itachi asked, looking at her through the rear-view mirror, obviously sensing something was wrong.

"Mother said it was fine, but my cousin doesn't seem to want me to go. Mother will tell Father though, so if he doesn't like the idea, this shall be the last time I tutor Naruto."

I sighed, why did everyone always talk like he were a little kid? I'm almost 17 and yet, people still feel the need to treat me like I didn't know anything. "You guys do know that I'm right here, don't you? Because I'm getting that feeling that you forgot."

"I'm sorry, Naruto, I just thought that Itachi was asking, so I should answer him. I didn't mean to be rude," Hinata hurried to explain.

"So, Hinata, what's your last name; I never caught it," Sasuke asked, ignoring me simply to annoy me.

She looked taken aback by the question, but answered, "Hyuuga. My name is Hinata Hyuuga."

So that was it, she was in a lot of my classes, but she didn't really talk. She seemed shy and didn't make friends very easily. She acted like a nice person, but I'd always stay away since I'd guessed that she's been warned about me, the kid whose parents had died while he lived; the one who heals too quickly to be human. I'd even had people call me a monster with the aura I've given off, but she didn't seem to care about any of that, she looked at me like I was an actual person. I couldn't help but stare at her for the rest of the ride.

I wasn't expecting the reaction she got when we stepped out of the car.

Me- Happy now?

Kosuke- Not at all.

Me- Crap… Anyway, review please.
