Bumps and Comfort
Chapter 1: The Stray Path
***SolidWhiteGekko***
1st of August- 6:40pm
I'm what they would call ecstatic! My friends and I have been accepted in the university of Konoha, I almost squealed with joy when I received my letter of acceptance and I'm sure my friends where in a similar state of mind as well. I'm even happier with the fact that I have finally moved into my own little apartment. A place where only I live. I was afraid for a bit but that went away when I met with my friends and visited all our apartments together. The little added decor my friends added chipped away at my uneasiness fully and what was even better was the fact that we lived extremely close to each other.
Almost a week has passed since I've seen all of them, which made life moving in a little easier but it has been a little dull. The only contact with them was the phone conversations which we had. My mother always said that, 'life's joys come with the memories of friends' and I had to agree but I also accepted the fact that it will take time to move in and learn the ropes on the new lifestyle. All she could hope for, was that they would meet soon and not go to those clubs which Ino and Sakura seem to enjoy a lot (mostly Ino). They just really where just not my thing especially with so many people in one place and such.
Oh and another thing which had me a little excited for a while was that Sakura had recently met a new boy. She had always wished that she could find the perfect someone and for her to say that she really liked him must mean something. I could only hope that this man really was the specially someone and would maker here happy. I wonder who he was? Whoever it is, I hope she introduces him to us soon. All she said was…
A young women at the adventurous age of 18 immediately stopped writing when hearing a muffled vibration. Broken out of her train of thought, she closed her dearly beloved book which she filled wither her most secretive emotions and thoughts and reached for the disrupting object in mind.
The women's mood brighten at the image of a furious looking, bubble-gum pink haired girl in a pose with a threating fist on the screen of the device. The text below the charming picture named…
"Sakura" She smiled.
"Hinata, you've got to come out girl!" Sakura demanded widening her smile a little more. Hinata was amused at how well the image portrayed her. It was like the image itself held her assertive soul. Hinata remembered and old saying her mother once taught her. 'A picture can hold a thousand words'. It was examples like this which allowed her to believe in the many sayings and beliefs which her mother had attained throughout her life.
"Yeah, ditch your crib and join us!" Another girl yelled out in the background and was one who Hinata immediately recognised.
"Hi Ino and I'm in the middle of something" she answered back, her mind going to the bath she had planned after the little edit in here diary. It was something she was looking forwards to and however much she had loved her friends, she knew this would be a tough call.
"Give me the phone forehead!" Ino yelled out in the background.
"No way, pig!" Sakura retourted back to her friend.
There sounded to be some rapid movements and yells as well as cries. Hinata let out an amused smile. Even from young, her friend's vigorously fought on a daily basis. The arguments would sometime even consist of blaming each other for starting the arguments in the first place. Some may have even questioned if they really where friends in the first place. She did when they were younger and even sometimes now when they get into some really big arguments but they always seemed to go back to friends a few moments later. Sometimes she thought the relationships was built on arguments between the two. Hinata giggled lightly at this.
"Oh yeah, cat fight lads. This is so hot!" A deep male voice growled in the background. This was met with a few chuckles from masculine voices which Hinata definitely did not recognise them. A few more suggested comments were made by the same person which led to more laughter. Hinata blushed furiously at some of these comments. They were just so lewd. Hinata was not really surprised by the comments with her friends being attractive and all but what confused where was just who they were. Her friends had never had a group of friends of the opposite gender who they hung out with at times at least not with her there. This begged the question to just who they actually where. Even though she may blush at some of the comments, she was more curious with who they were and so listened in more, hoping to pick up clues on just that.
'Who were they?' Hinata's innocent little mind pondered.
'Maybe friends of the boy which Sakura told her about?' She guessed. It was a fair assumption on Hinata's behalf but was it the right one?
"Ow, what was that for!" The unfamiliar voice growled. But instead of it being a chuckle it was a painful whine.
"For making perverted comments, so shut it!" She recognised that voice. Anyone who was in the line of fire of that voice once! Always recognised it. It was another friend of hers. A Chinese like girl who always had her hair held in twin buns. Her perfectly immaculate buns which never held a strand out of place.
"Hi, Tenten?" Hinata greeted. The bickering between the two girls stopped.
"How about I put it on loud speaker!? Sakura suggested.
"Fine but hurry up" Ino demanded.
"Hey there Hinata, I'm guessing you're busy?" Tenten asked. Hinata repeated herself.
"Come on, Hinata it will be fun and we're not even clubbing?" Ino claimed. Hinata raised an eyebrow. She definitely wasn't falling for that again, not after last time. Her dad almost had a heart attack when he found out that his sweet innocent daughter fainted at a club surrounded by hormone crazed teens. She on the other hand was a having a fierce battle keeping conscious every time her body made a startling sweaty contact with someone else's. Her dad finding out wasn't much of a problem with the current state of her housing. Her overprotective dad will not know a thing but she really did not want to face that again, no matter how much better she's gotten at hanging out in highly populated areas. She strongly disliked them. Of course, they did not mean it in a harmful way but saw it as a means to liven her up a bit.
"But I'm…"
"No buts, Hinata and we already know that you're not really doing anything important and we want to introduce you to our new friends." This got her curious.
"Who are they?"
"You're only going to find out of you come!"
"And you're defiantly not planning on going clubbing?" Hinata checked, suspicion still there.
Ino burst out laughing.
"With an ass like that you would expect her to be in a club!" The same boy from before chuckled. This was followed by a slapping sound. Which again was followed by a lot more laughter and a whine which was filled in by both her friends and the strangers. Her curiosity deepened. But one thing she could assume was that the slap belonged to one of her friends.
"Next time you make a perverted comment I'm going to chop of your balls and throw it in a blender before you bleed out. Is that understood?" The unfamiliar laughter in the background came to a slow halt. But it seems like Hinata's friends seemed to laugh a lot harder at the new person's demise. Hinata could tell that it was Tenten and here menacing voice but not because of her voice per say but due to here sadistic nature in torturing other man. Hinata could only thank here lucky starts that she was not in her wrong book but little could be said for the poor person who most likely held their privates in-between their hands.
"Trust us Hinata. Hell, meet us at the entrance at Konoha's park. The entrance on Misty Lane. Okay?" Tenten double checked. Leaving Hinata a few moments to come up with a decision.
To Hinata, it wasn't a very difficult one but one which determined her comfort, something which she never stood against unless her friends dragged her into it and they seem to enjoy that. A lot.
Knowing that her friends wouldn't let up and may even choose to raid her room, bringing her clothed or not she decided on a quick shower instead and then having a nice alluring bath after. She let out a tired yet wanted sigh.
"Where should we meet?" She ended.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!" Ino shirked out in joy, snapping Hinata's ears as far away from the phone as her arms could move it.
"Finally Hinata, I thought I'd have to drag you from your house, meet us outside the park gates on Misty Lane!" Sakura ordered. Hinata nodded and gave a yes in reply.
'I hope I don't regret this…'

AN: Well, here we go folks. This is the pilot episode which I hope will take off XD Oh my, I think I've made that horrible jokes thousands of time now.
Anyway, this story will have slow pacing to it and will have a lot of drama because I'm sure people like that but it will also but the key here is romance and it will be aimed at one of my favourite shipping's which is NAHI. I'm pretty happy they got together in the end. But people! Do not throw a fit in dismay. Your favourite parings shall also be here as I love a lot of different parings in the Naruto universe.
The chapters will without a doubt be at one week apart and I really hope you enjoy this story so I can continue it and if not I'll just move on to another little plot bunny.
Please do follow and review because I love it XD, anyway…
SolidWhiteGekko, sneaking out
Edited 09/09/2016: Seems like I made a few errors. I will most likely go back over the entire story again after I have finished it but that would be in about a year time. Anyway peace for now.
