Invisible:

Chapter 1

Author's Notes:

Okay, I deleted this story, guys! I'm redoing the whole thing because it was a mess that needed to be fixed, and it wasn't heading the right way. In any case, the pairings are eventually going to be NaruHina, SasuSaku, KibaIno, ShikaTema, and NejiTen! Also, the chapters are gradually going to get longer, so sorry this one is so short. I tried to keep everyone in character as much as possible. But I may have failed. R&R and tell me if I should continue this or not, because I won't if I get no reviews, that's one thing that hasn't changed.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO! *Mission Impossible theme song starts playing* OK, ONWARDS!

"Just get in the damn room!" a certain pink-haired kunoichi shouted, very loudly I might add. Many heads turned, all faces owning a puzzled yet amused expressions while the girl struggled to rein in her temper.

"N-no, Sakura-chan, I said no!" a shamefully red and flustered Hinata exclaimed right back, standing her ground as Sakura unsuccessfully attempted to push her back into the dressing room. Ladies and gentlemen, they were causing this scene at a clothing store.

"C'mon Hinata, Naruto will love this!" Ino tried, eyes shining with pride towards the gorgeous dress she had picked out, now having been discarded and hung back up after Hinata blatantly refused the short article of clothing. "Ino," TenTen scolded, "she obviously doesn't want to wear it, whether Naruto likes it or not!"

"Well, she obviously needs to step up her game too, TenTen! She's even admitted that she's invisible to that unbelievably dense idiot," the blonde informed in true Ino fashion, dramatically with hands on hips and nose in the air like the superior being that she was.

That much was partially true, she was more experienced. Well, at least in this area, at this certain time. They all turned to Hinata when she squeaked and waved her hands out in front of her, frantically signaling she wanted to add to this conversation.

"You could at least f-find something I'm comfortable wearing, Ino-chan…" she tried to reason. Sakura scoffed and said, as if she was talking to a two year-old, "But everything you're comfortable wearing is too… reserved, live a little bolder Hinata! Ino's right and you know it, Naruto isn't going to notice you if you don't put yourself out there."

The girl addressed averted her eyes and nodded, knowing that everything they'd said was true. She was invisible to Naruto, and as much as she would deny it if you ever asked her, she didn't want to lose him to Sakura. Because she very well could, and everyone knew that. "I-I'll wear the dress then," she said and the gang whooped like animals, attracting even more stares.

And so Hinata's timid hand latched onto the small black dress. Quickly becoming anxious, she bolted for the dressing room door, navy hair whipping the other three girls in the face as she did so. "I am so n-not co-coming o-out!" they heard not five seconds later, but didn't react immediately. For their faces stung. Who knew hair could bitch slap you?

"How did she…?" TenTen trailed off, dumfounded at the girl's speed of changing. The other girls recovered much faster than her, Sakura and Ino shouting things like, "Oh yes you are!" and "Stop being a brat!"

Alas, Hinata gave up eventually. People in that general area all screamed out in awe and spontaneously started quoting Shakespeare. Not including Sakura, who was jealous of Hinata's curves, and was on the floor bawling while pounding on the ground, causing small earthquakes to rock the store, and was also wailing out something along the lines of, "It's not fair, it's not fair!"

For a lavender-eyed beauty in a fitting, black, spaghetti strapped number had just walked out of that door. After seeing everyone's reactions, Hinata, though a bit grudgingly, purchased the dress. And why was this such a big deal to the four girls, you ask?

You see, the Rookie 9 and the Sand Sibs were all going to wreak havoc at a karaoke bar tomorrow night, to be exact, and they just had to make Hinata show herself off a little. And the result was the purchase of that dress.

"Hopefully some NaruHina action goes down tomorrow, maybe Naruto will finally leave me alone then!" an exasperated Sakura exclaimed.

And for once, Hinata agreed with her and hoped the same.

Please review! Goodbye… my young grasshoppers….. yeah, well…err… review!
