Chapter One
"Hinata, Hinata where are you?" called out a worried voice.
Hinata sighed, and turned towards her mother's voice, turning her back to the fence that was keeping the whole, wide, glorious world out.
And her in.
"Here I am Mother." called Hinata, referring to her mom as she always did, polite and formal, just as a young lady should.
"Well what are you doing out here? Come in, come in, outside is not a place where young ladies should loiter about, you might get you dress dirty. Besides, it's tea time." said Hinata's mom from the front porch, keeping herself as far away from the pristine, manicured front lawn that carried innumerable threats, the worse being a dirtied dress.
Sighing again, Hinata turned to the fence one last time, soaking up as much of the view as she could before heading off to join her mom and elderly grandmother for tea.

"You come back here you street rat!"
"You gotta catch me first!"
Naruto ran down the main street of Konoha before sharply turning into one of the many dark, dangerous side alleys scattered around the city, hoping to shake off the policeman.
But the man just kept coming.
"Damn he's good. I'm going to have to do something soon. Good thing I got several tricks up my sleeves." Naruto thought to himself.
He turned down one more alleys, this one ending in a dead end. He turned to the policeman with a face filled with fear and guilt, though it was all a flawless act.
"Ha, ha, now I've got you. You're gonna pay for painting on the faces of the Hokage."
Naruto smirked, "I don't think so." and he quickly snapped out and clapped his hands at the man's temple. Unconsciousness was instant as Naruto sped off, a small tendril of guilt curling in his stomach. He usually refrained from such acts, disliking having to cause harm to anyone. But this was an extenuating circumstance, and it wasn't like the man would be in a whole lot pain. He'd just wake up with a pretty wicked headache.
Naruto slowed down to contemplate what to do with the rest of his day. It was mid-afternoon already, which didn't leave a lot of time for any major pranks.
Naruto shrugged, his shoulders moving up, then down, and decided to call it a day. He'd go off and scrounge up a dinner and then find a comfortable corner in an alley to retire for the evening.
"So, what should I have for dinner?" Naruto asked out loud, though to no one in particular since he was the only one around.
"Ichikaru!" Naruto cried out, and headed off to find his favorite ramen stall.

The next day, Hinata snuck out of the house again, in an attempt to escape her overbearing parents. She walked over to her favorite spot to look out through the fence. It held a view of all of Konoha, in all of its wild and exotic beauty. To say that Hinata rarely got to ever visit the city was un understatement. It was rare for her to leave the front yard, to visit the city was a once in a blue moon sort of occurrence.
Her fingers wrapped around the elegant bars of the fence. How she hated these bars. It didn't matter what form they came in, with all of their elegant curves and flippancy, they were still iron bars, and this was her prison.
"But some day," Hinata let herself dream. One day, she would permanently escape from this confinement, and she would be able to go anywhere she pleased, and no one would tell her no, or that she might get her dress all dirty.
"I don't when, I don't know how, but somehow, I'll be a part of that world" she said to herself
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto continued his pleasant stroll around Konoha, in a high mood. He whistled to himself as he past the gate that marked the entrance to Konoha's more elite district. Here resided the citizens of Konoha who had the biggest pocketbooks and (in Naruto's opinion) the biggest egos.
Someone had neglected to close the gate, a uncommon event. Pausing in his walk, Naruto contemplated the options, before giving his shoulders a shrug and walked through the open gate doors.
He began walking up the monumental hill that was beset with some of the largest and fanciest houses he had ever come across, all surrounded by iron gates and fences. There wasn't a single human being in sight.
He gave a low whistle. "Snob hill, complete with caged in houses," his gaze turned to one of the saplings that sprung forth from the sidewalk every few paces and chuckled to himself, "And a fence around every tree." he finished, noting the small fence encircling the young tree's slender trunk, its iron bars matching those of the houses.
Naruto continued his leisurely walk until he come upon a house that, although looked exactly like all the other houses had one slight difference. Here someone young, about his age, about fifteen, from the looks of it, was standing outside staring off into the distance, although at what he wasn't sure. As he came closer the figure's features came in to sharper focus, and he noted for the first time that it was a she, and a very pretty she at that.
He sauntered up to her without making a sound, a skill he had picked up from years living on the streets. When he finally spoke she jumped nearly a mile high and turned to him with a brilliant blush coloring her cheeks.
"Aww, she's so cute!" he thought to himself as spoke the words, "Well, hello there."
The girl replied with a quick and quiet "Hello" and turned her head down as her face became even more red, if that was even possible.
"Soooo," he continued, trying to strike up a conversation, "What's your name Pigeon?"
She giggled at this and lifted her head up, "Well, it certainly isn't pigeon." she paused before continuing. "My name is Hinata, Hinata Hyeuga."
"Hinata," said Naruto appreciatively, letting it trip easily off of his tongue, "a beautiful name for a beautiful lady."
The blush deepened, only lending to Hinata's ample supply of beauty.
"Well, I'm Naruto Uzamaki." he said, while thrusting out his hand, before he realized his mistake. There was absolutely no way either one of them could snake their way through the bars of the fence to have a proper hand shake.
"Hmm," Naruto hummed to himself, while stroking his chin with the previously extended hand, contemplating their situation before asking, "So, Pigeon, you ever been to Konoha before?"
She looked into his contemplating blue eyes before replying with a slight stutter "A-a few times. I once went with my father to the Hokage's office on an important business meeting."
"Is that it though?" Naruto asked, bewildered.
"Basically." Hinata said.
"Well, that hardly counts. How's about we take you on a proper tour of Konoha, with yours truly." Naruto said, jabbing his thumb at himself.
"I-I'd love t-to, but how am I suppose to get out? I can't get past this fence."
Naruto, being familiar with situations just like this one, only took a moment before he had formulated a plan. He pointed over to a tree that was a part of a line that framed Hinata's back yard. "Ya see that tree, the one with the that branch?" he said, referring to a branch that hung over the fence and down, only leaving about a three feet difference from the branch to the sidewalk. "Do you think you can climb it?" he asked, turning to her.
"Certainly." she said. She had spent most of her childhood climbing trees like that one before her mother found out and immediately put a stop to her playing.
She walked over to the tree confidently with Naruto following her on the other side of the fence before reaching her hand up and grabbing one of the low-lying branches. She then proceeded to swing her legs up and she was soon hanging from the branch in a sloth-like manner. Then she swung herself up onto the top of the branch. She slowly stood up, using the surrounding branches as support and carefully made her way over to the branch that reached over the fence.
Naruto was thoroughly impressed. This girl was almost as good at climbing trees as he was, and he was pretty good. The fact that she was this good and in a very cumbersome-looking dress certainly did not diminish his awe.
Soon Hinata was sliding down the branch before stopping abruptly halfway. The branch sagged dangerously under her weight, obviously the thing was not as strong as they had thought.
Naruto, seeing, Hinata's hesitation and the reason for it, walked over until he stood underneath her and told her, "Go ahead, jump, I'll catch you."
Hinata looked down at Naruto, who was at least four feet away from her, meaning she was roughly eight feet away from the hard concrete ground, one false move and she was a pancake.
"Go on." he called encouragingly, and suddenly Hinata let go of the branch. Naruto braced himself but Hinata's momentum was still enough to knock him over on his bottom.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Hinata said when she had recovered the crash.
Naruto only chuckled and proceeded to pick up Hinata, bridal style. Though young, his strong muscles wrapped around Hinata, securing her in his arms. She took in his scent and was overwhelmed for one brief moment from the wonderfully exotic smell he had.
"It's a good thing your so light Pidge." he said, before letting her down, head slightly dizzy from Hinata's aroma, which smelled like some beautiful flower.
"So, you ready for that tour?"

Muwhahahaha!!!! I did it!
This idea hit me on Saturday, because I realized Hinata fit the character of Lady.
Naruto isn't really as suave as tramp, but it was fun writing him in this way!
Yeah I'm so happy, I was able to drop a bunch Disney quotes, including my favorite from The Lady and The Tramp, the one about Snob Hill! Kudos to whomever can figure out the other quotes (it's actually not that hard) they're quotes from two other Disney Movies.
You might notice that this fic is written slightly different from my others, simply because in this one I'm focusing on the dialogue more than descriptions in actions.
Anyway, I'm posting this quickly because I want to get started on another fanfic (this one being RoyxRiza)
