A Hidden Perfection

Chapter 1
Naruto Uzumaki

Hinata touched pen to paper and straightened the glasses covering her eyes as she though hard about what to write. Not coming up with anything, Hinata gave up and sighed. She looked at her clock and got up off her bed and headed to the bathroom. It was too late anyways, she needed to get to her first day of school. After a shower and choosing what to wear, Hinata moved downstairs and into the kitchen.

"Good morning father. Good morning Neji." said Hinata with a timid smile and in a soft voice. Hinata's father, Hiashi Hyuga looked up from his morning paper, gave her a stern nod and went back to his reading. Neji looked at her, gave her a kind smile, and went back to munching on a piece of toast. Her family was always very quiet and was always very strict, so Hinata always felt uncomfortable being around them. But still, they were family.

"It's almost time to go you two. You better get going." said Hiashi not looking up from his paper. Neji nodded and stood from the table.

"Very well then, we shall see you later." said Neji moving over to the sink to wash his hands and moved over to Hinata. "Shall we go?" he asked, Hinata nodded and waved goodbye to her father as she walked out the door with Neji. As they were walking down the driveway and heading to Neji's car, Hinata sigh and Neji looked at her.

"Hinata? You seem more tired than usual. Did you not sleep very well?" asked Neji sounding concerned for her well-being. Hinata gave an embarrassed smile and nodded.

"Oh yes, I did. It's just that… well, I can't think of anything to write." said Hinata. Neji lifted an eyebrow and start the car once they were both inside and buckled up.

"Really? You mean write as in homework… or music?" asked Neji sounding disappointed with this conversation. Hinata blushed and nodded at Neji.

"I-I'm sorry…" said Hinata looking away a bit. Neji pulled out of the drive way and sped down the road.

"Don't be sorry." said Neji giving a big smile. Hinata looked at him with a kind smile. "You know your father is the only one that doesn't approve. Frankly, I think that you're very good at what you do." Neji said reassuring Hinata inher own abilities. Hinata smiled at Neji's compliment and laid her head on the back of the seat and let the wind of the convertible brush against her face as they moved closer to high school. Neji pulled into a parking space and opened the door for Hinata as she got out of the car. After closing the doors of the car, Hinata sighed as she looked at the high school before her. Hinata only got into this school because her father could pay for her to get in. This school was the Konoha High School of Music and Arts, the best of all the high schools in the city. It was mostly meant for the musically gifted, but if you could pay a certain fee, then any student could attend this school. It wasn't that Hinata didn't like the school, she didn't like that everyone around her was so spectacular in their own way, but that she was so plain and average. Nothing about her really stood out.

"C'mon. We need to get going." said Neji as he picked up his backpack from inside the car and headed to the stairs of the school. As they walked up to the school doors and down the halls, someone was always playing music, singing, dancing, acting or something else that stood out from everyone else. It was like the entire atmosphere was full of people that just wanted to celebrate their gifts, talents and life in general. It really was a very special school! Hinata enjoyed walking down the halls and seeing how lively and wonderful this school was with music always playing and the teachers were always outstanding. Almost every teacher in the school had at least one amazing talent and every teacher was almost like one of the students. Hanging out with each other and actually enjoying one another's company, and musical talent. As the first bell rang, Hinata's first class of the day was Mr. Kakashi Hatake. He was the coolest language arts teacher and a great musician as well as an actor. She always looked forward to that class because the only person Hinata really knew, Neji Hyuga, was in the same class. As Hinata took her seat next to Neji, they waited patiently for their teacher to arrive. No matter what, you can always rely on Kakashi-sensei to be late for every class. After five minutes of chilling in class, Kakashi walks in through the door waving lazily to all his students.

"Good morning, Ladies and Idiots." said Kakashi smiling at the students after setting his stuff down on his desk at the front of the class room. All the girls laughed as all the guys sulked at Kakashi's playful insult. Kakashi wrote a few things on the board and then looked at a clipboard on his table. "Okay, roll call." said Kakashi over the sound of the constantly talking students. Everyone sounded off as their name was called and it wasn't long before Hinata and Neji both had to respond. At the very end of the list, Kakashi called out.

"Naruto Uzumaki?" asked Kakashi loudly. Everyone looked around and saw that only one desk which was right next to Hinata's wasn't filled with a student. Kakashi called again and then looked at the students.

"Is Naruto Uzumaki new here? Or does anyone know where his is?" asked Kakashi. Everyone looked at each other wondering who this new guy was. Just as Kakashi was about to count him absent, someone burst through the doorway of the class room and stopped dead center of the front of the class.

"I'm heeeeeeeeere!" yelled the guy in a loud husky voice. Kakashi looked up at him with some surprise and walked over to him.

"Oh, you must be the new student, Naruto Uzumaki." said Kakashi plainly. Naruto had a shock of blond hair, whisker marks on his cheeks and sky blue eyes as he gave a thumbs up to Kakashi.

"Yup! That's me! Sorry I'm late!" said Naruto standing up tall and rubbing the back of his head.

"Do you have a good excuse?" asked Kakashi putting his hands on his hips. Naruto chuckled and spoke.

"Yeah, um, would you believe me if I told you I had car trouble on the way here?" asked Naruto making a few people in the class respond in chuckles. Kakashi nodded and laughed a little on his own.

"Well, since it is your first day, I'll let this one time slide. If this happens again, you'll get a zero for the day." said Kakashi in a scary voice. Naruto nodded and shuttered at Kakashi's warning. "Well, we're glad to have you as a part to our school. Since you're new here, every new student must perform something on their first day that shows that they deserve to attend here. That includes you, Mr. Uzumaki. Hopefully, performing wouldn't be a problem?" asked Kakashi. Naruto shook his head and smirked as he pointed to the guitar slung on his back.

"Are you kidding? I came prepared!" he said. Kakashi nodded and provided Naruto with an amp from the class room closet. It was a Konoha tradition that everyone had to perform something then they first started at the school. A dance, a song, a different art, somebody had something they wanted to share and everyone was always amazing. Hinata however, being the sky and timid girl she is, didn't do well when it was turn to perform during her freshman year. She collapsed on the spot in front of everybody because the pressure was too much. Hinata was never really good in front of big crowds.

"Alright then. Tell a little about yourself and then give us a performance we won't forget!" said Kakashi as ke backed up to give Naruto some space. Naruto smiled at the entire class and began.

"I am Naruto Uzumaki! I have always wanted to go to this school to grow as a musician and to become well known all around the world as a famous rock star! All along the way, I promise to make a bunch of friends and have a wild ride while I'm here! All in all, I'm glad I'm finally here!" said Naruto with confidence.

"Alright, now your performance?" asked Kakashi. Naruto nodded and looked at a black electric guitar as he plugged it into the amp. Naruto held it awkwardly and then smiled at everyone.

"Okay, so uh, I haven't played in a while, so forgive me if I don't play very well." He said. Naruto began to awkwardly pluck out single notes and all-together, his playing was absolutely aweful! Even Hinata could tell. How in the heck did this guy make it into this school? After playing, Naruto looked up at everyone seeming disappointed in his performance. Kakashi was about to step in to stop him, but Naruto's look changed from embarrassed to cocky.

"Oh, I'm sorry guys! I was holding my guitar the wrong way! Let me try again!" said Naruto out loud. Everyone obviously thought the same thing. After trying to play on the guitar that one time, there was no way that playing the guitar the other way would be any different. For the most part, this Naruto guy was terrible!

But then he started playing, and everyone was blown away! His fingers began sliding all up and down the neck of the guitar in a flurry that was so fast that even Kakashi was having trouble keeping up with him. When he finished with a short introduction, Naruto smirked.

"That's more like it! That sounds MUCH better!" said Naruto. He actually began playing a song this time and after a short introduction with a few simple chords, Naruto began singing. (The following song is: Into The Night by: Santana)

Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell,
It was love from above, that could save me from hell,
She had fire in her soul it was easy to see,
how the devil himself could be pulled out of me,
There were drums in the air as she started to dance,
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands,
And we sang...

Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And the voices bang like the angels sing,
We're singing...
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And we danced on into the night,
Ay oh ay oh,
Ay oh ay oh,
And we danced on into the night,

Naruto had captured everyone's attention; even Kakashi's who was astounded by his talent. Naruto seemed to really enjoy playing on the guitar and everything. All the girls in the class especially had their eyes on him as he continued to rock on.

Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place,
You could tell how we felt from the look on our faces,
we was spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes,
The room left them moving between you and I,
We forgot where we were and we lost track of time,
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night,
And we sang...

As Naruto played, he traveled around the room singing to the girls that were watching him. The chord for the amp was very long, so Naruto had no problem navigating all around the room. He got up close and really interacted with the crowd as he sang and played. Then, when he was singing this one part, he got up and sat down on Hinata's desk as he played and sang to her for a short time. Hinata could feel herself blush as Naruto sang to her with eyes that sparkled like no other. Naruto looked like he was completely in tune with the song. When he finished singing to Hinata, he got up and headed back to Kakashi's desk in the front of the room and stood on top of it as he began to play the solo of the song. Sweat was flying from him as banged his head to the music and as he played vigorously with the music. He was a true performer!

As Naruto finally finished his song, he stood on top of kakashi's desk finishing with a strong final chord. The sound echoed in the room as everyone was speechless from enduring such a powerful and amazing performance. Even Kakashi seemed amazed at Naruto's unexpected talent. Naruto scratched the back of his head to try and conceal his pride over his guitar and the song he just played. Towards the back of the class where Neji sat, Hinata looked at Naruto completely speechless. The song he played was amazing and his guitar skills were great when he hit that solo in the middle of the song. He was really amazing.

"Alright, that's enough. You can take that seat over there." said Kakashi pointing to his seat next to Hinata. Naruto nodded and unplugged his guitar and put it over to the side with everybody else's instruments. Returning to his assigned seat next to Hinata, he pulled out his notebook from his backpack and prepared to take notes for the class. As he sat down, Hinata could feel her face get hot. He stood out like a sore thumb compared to everyone else, and when he sang to her while he was playing, there was something about it that Hinata adored. He had an amazing voice that was beautiful, but at the same time, really hard core too.

In the middle of class, as they were taking a pop quiz that was so generously provided by Kakashi, Hinata watched as Naruto looked at all the questions and seemed to answer them without a hitch. This was a bit of a surprise to see him adjust so quickly. When the test was done and the first class of the day was just about finished, Kakashi collected the tests and began an announcement.

"So, since you are all here in my class, I'm guessing all of you are seniors." said Kakashi. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Well if you're all seniors, you know what that means! This year will be your final exam!" Everyone cheered at the sound of the idea, well everyone but Naruto who just groaned like it was a bad thing. Naruto leaned over to Hinata and whispiered.

"Hey, what's everyone getting so excited about? Don't tell me that everyone that goes to this school enjoys testing! I can't stand workaholics!" said Naruto. Hinata looked at him a little surprised by the sudden communication. Seeing this from the front of the room, Kakashi called to Naruto and caught his attention as he began to explain.

"Well since it seems our new classmate doesn't understand what I mean, I guess we'll just have to enlighten him. At KHSMA (Konoha High School of Music and Arts), the final test for all seniors is a large performance in front of the entire faculty, staff, and students. Other senior classes will be practicing as well as performing so that means all senior classes will be competing against us. The award for most outstanding performance will to the class that has the best performance. With this award, you will automatically be accepted into the greatest music al and arts college in the country: Elemental University of Music and Arts. Anything you want to learn about music, you can find at this college. The test requires hard work, perseverance, and a lot of talent. It can be presented in any way that you can think of. However, that doesn't mean that you have 100% creative control. In order to do something for a performance, you must receive approval from a teacher or the principle." said Kakashi. After the explanation, Naruto thrust a fist in the air and cheered with relief.

"Awesome! That means no written tests!" yelled Naruto. Kakashi sighed again and looked at Naruto.

"Sorry to crush your spirits, but we have those too… and they are VERY tricky…" he said. Naruto sulked at the unpleasant news as the bell rang and everyone got up from their seats to move to a different class. Hinata watched as Naruto left the room and turned to Neji who was still packing up his things.

"Well today's class was relatively interesting, don't you think? That Naruto guy sure is talented." said Neji. Hinata nodded vaguely, not really paying attention to his question. Neji looked at her while she was caught within her trance and smiled at her.

"So, I think you should get to know him." said Neji. Hinata looked at him in shock and suddenly started blushing even more.

"W-What!" asked Hinata. "H-How could y-you suggest something l-like that!" Neji looked at her with firm eyes and made sure her attention was focused on him.

"Hinata, you and I are very close. Instead of cousins, you are practically my sister. I am concerned for your well-being. You don't talk to anyone in this school except for me or the teachers. I think it's time you start making some friends of your own." said Neji.

"W-What! B-But I can't! What if father finds out? You know his conditions for allowing us to come to school here…"

"His rules don't say anything about making friends. Besides, getting out there would be good for you." said Neji.

"B-But, why with him?" asked Hinata.

"Two reasons. One, you already go to this school so you have to be helpful to him on some kind of level. And two, he doesn't know anyone else at school either; the same as you." said Neji leaning in closer with a devilish grin. "Not to mention that if you get lucky, he might become your very first boyfriend." Hinata's face turned red instantly and she could feel her face get hot and light.

"Ne-ne-ne-Neji! D-Don't say s-s-such things!" said Hinata lightly hitting Neji. Neji couldn't help but laugh and smiled at Hinata's innocence.

"C'mon, we need to leave anyways." said Neji. Hinata nodded and followed him out the door. But Neji was right, she needed to make some friends.
