Flashback...

"Hinata, you don't think i like you like you don't you?" 12 year old Naruto told The Hyuuga heiress, Hinata.

"I mean...Thanks for being there when i need you but...you know who i like" Naruto kept telling her.

"And thanks for making me your inspiration for being stronger and stuff like that!" Naruto smiled. Hinata just kept still and looked at the ground.

End of falshback...

A crying Hyuuga heiress sat near the window sill. Listening to the birds that are singing happy melodies.

"It's been so long! 2 years have past and i still feel the pain! Is this really what it felt like?It makes me wanna give up!! But why? Why? maybe he's just not good for me...He's so strong and I'm so...WEAK!!!!" she told her self.

"Those melodies remind me of somethings that are just too real. Too real to be felt. Am i that foolish to see that love and Naruto is just not for me!" she kept crying going to her bed. She then took a pillow and kept crying for hours(2 hours exactly). "Maybe it's time to let GO!" she thought.

A knock on the door came. It was Hinata's cousin Neji. He was so overprotective and strong.

"Hinata can I come in?" Hinata was like this all the time. So he checked on her if she is okay. She then stopped crying and went to open the door.

Sniff...Sniff..."I'm fine" She smiled.

"You don't seem like it." He said worriedly.

"No i'm fine" she kept hiding the feeling that makes her wanna shout.

Neji left and returned to her room holding something in his hands.

"I want you to have this." He said. He handed out a head protector.

"You deserve to be the heiress of the Hyuuga clan." He continued.

"Thanks" she kept smiling.

"Hey! ummm... can I spar with you?" she asked with a serious face.

"You're challenging me?" he asked back.

"Hai!" she answered back. This time it was a very serious face that he saw.

They went into the training ground.And started the fight.

Neji moved swiftly trying to find an opening to hit her. He activated his Byakugan. Hinata moved gracefully using every space she got. Finally she attacked "GENTLE FIST TECHNIQUE!" she hit him on the arms that covered his stomach. He had the hard blow. He landed on the hard wall. He looked at her and this time he didn't see the Hinata at the chuunin exam, he didn't see it in her eyes. Hinata moved towards him and almost landed a kick at his back. He moved aside and kicked her ones...twice...thrice...he kicked her very hard but she's still standing. Blood came out of her mouth. Neji stopped, she wiped the blood and started to attack him. She moved at his right landing a kick at his stomach and she kept kicking, making Neji spit more and more blood. He grab a kunai from his pocket and throw it to Hinata but she gracefull dodge it. He noticed something on Hinata that he never ever seen before. Hinata was not the Hinata that was shy, weak, timid, and sweet anymore. Fighting her seems like fighting a cold hearted person or a person with grudge on the world. His mind paused when he noticed that Hinata was behind him." BYAKUGAN!!!!!!" her eyes were starting to have veins. She just released her enchanted eyes. She attacked him very swiftly that he didn't have time to dodge them. All of her attacked hit him. If he doesn't dodge or if she won't stop, the last blow would kill him instantly. He was shocked. Finally Hinata stopped, she knew that she have to stop right then and there to prevent Neji's death. The last blow stopped almost at his stomach just millimeters away from death. Hinata didn't even fell to the ground. Neji knew that a ninja using that lots of chackra couldn't handle it and would explode(fell) to the ground but she didn't she just stood inhaling, breathing like using the usual amount of chakra kicking trees and stuff. Neji couldn't stand anymore so she called her father and his father was amazed by the sudden change of his daughter. Her eyes returned to her normal eyes. And poor Neji sat there shocked and bruised and beaten. He coughed too many blood. He was taken to the hospital.

After 3 days Hinata visited the her cousin at the hospital.

"Hey" She said looking at the ground.

"Hi!" he said smiling at her.

"You were amazing. I'm shocked about the sudden change. And i'm proud that you defeated me. For once." he told her.

"Now you can protect yourself but if you need back up i'm always there to back you up!" he said jokingly trying to make her laugh or smile. Instead tears fell down from her cheeks.

"I'm sorry..Neji-nissan...I'll never do it again" she cried.

"I said it was alright" He smiled. "Come on you come here in the hospital crying like i'm dead or something." he said.

Then she smiled. "Let it out!" he continued. "You could shout if you want let it out of you." He said with a serious face.

So she went to the training ground and there she let it all out. "AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed and sat to the ground sobbing.

While she was doing this a ninja went over to her.

"Hey! ummm... you alright miss?" the ninja called.

She kept still then faced him. Her cheeks were wet with tears. She wiped some to clear her eyes. Right in front of her she saw standing there was Naruto.

"Hinata? Is that you? What's wrong? It's been so long since i've seen you.. Two years from now." He said.

She just kept crying and crying. He sat in front of her. And he touched her face. He then slowly wiped her tears.

"Why are you crying? You shouldn't be." He said. His face was worried.

-I can't risk telling him how I feel about him for all this years. After what he told me. I just can't. Still I can't lie. But...I'll tell him the truth not all the truth.- Her minds told her.

"Cause someone, just someone from the past hurt my feelings. I love him very much but he don't care." she told him while tears fell down her cheeks.

He looked at her eyes intently. She just kept crying. He then stopped. And wiped her tears again.

" Hey! You can't just keep crying cause of him...Maybe he have changed over these years...You know I remember the Hinata that is always smiling not crying... You're more pretty if you smile. Maybe he wants you to smile." He said to her.

"Really?" she stopped crying and smiled.

"See? you are very pretty." He said blushing. A blush that is hard to see.

She just nod. And smiled.

"Umm... are you better now?" Naruto asked.

"Yes." she replied.

"Well I better leave now. See you around. okay?" He said goodbye and went out of the training ground.

While walking he can't stop thinking about Hinata. All that fills in his mind is her smile and a question about the boy she's crying about.

-- WOW! Was that Hinata she have growned. I wonder where she went after all these years.And who could that boy be? I only saw her two years ago and talked to her two years ago either.-- He thought.

--Two years ago...I talked to her about...-- He thought hard.

Flashback...

" Naruto she likes you!" A pink haired girl like her age said.

"So what if?" He said coldly.

" I mean she like you like you!" she said back. With a serious face.

" And I don't like her. She's weird,dark and shady person!" He said laughing.

"How could you!" she shouted back at him.

A ravened hair Hyuuga heiress appeared looking at the ground.

"Ummm...Hinata!" Naruto said nervously.

End of flashback...

He then suddenly felt cold.--It's been so long and still she remembered. Ugh! How could I be so cold to her. She's so sweet and everything. How could I say those things to her.Ugh! Damn! damn you! damn it! Now that I think of it. I think I don't have a chance to her now. Now that I know what she was crying about. I'm so stupid. Ugh!-- He kept telling himself.

"No it's not over yet. It's not. I'm not gonna give up. Not now not ever." He said to himself.

Then suddenly he saw Tenten running. He looked at her.

"Hey!" she said to him.

"UH? Why are you running? What gives?" He asked.

" Didn't you hear bout the news?" Tenten asked him back.

" What's the big news?" He has this comical face of being confused.

" It's been the news for three days. Geeesssss!" Tenten rolled her eyes.

"What?" he kept asking.

"Hinata beat Neji in their challenge...He really got beaten up so badly...He's on the Hospital for three days...Hinata is very strong now... She almost killed him for it." she said pausing for breath.

"And what's more is Hinata just became strong to beat up Neji is cause she has this certain pain in her heart that she let out on him." she continued.

"oh!' he said looking at the ground.

"So why are you running?" He asked again.

"I just got back from a solo mission and I really need to see him.." she said.

"Got to rush!" she started to run again.

He was left standing again. And so the questions just kept running through his mind.

--What should I do now?-- He kept asking.

"YES!! I got it!!" he said.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What could he be thinking?

Is this the end of the bitter feeling that Hinata felt?
