Love Beyond the Looking Glass.

Chpt.1

First Glance.

--

I had always been a heartthrob. Every girl wanted me, I can get any girl I wanted, and no one could resist me, well that's what I thought except for one. One girl in the whole village didn't want me, but wanted my idiotic moron of a friend.

Her name was Hinata Hyuuga. When I first met her I just thought she was another crazy obsessed fan girl but I was dead wrong. I found out she wasn't a fan. Every time I came around she didn't notice me, but when Naruto came around all she did was notice.

I had no feelings toward this girl ever. But I could not help but be drawn to her. I would just watch her from afar as she would train and wonder what it was that she was thinking. And if it was me she was thinking of. I always just watched her when no one was around.

I never really felt anything for her till I saw her one day, she wasn't training or anything, but she was trying on a kimono, a very light lilac kimono. I had seen her through a window getting fitted for a dress when we were twelve.

Her light ivory skin shined in the light lilac dress that was covered with yellow flowers on it. I couldn't help but stare at her. I guess she could feel somebody staring because she looked suddenly at the window and stared at me.

We just stared at each other. She turned a bright shade of crimson red. We just stared at each other for awhile she probably thought i was complete weirdo pervert or something. The owner of the shop had come up to the window and gave me a dirty look and shut the curtains.

That was the first and last time that she and I would ever lock eyes. It would also be the last time that she would ever notice me.

5Years Later:

It had been five years since I had seen Hinata, it had been so long since we locked eyes and we shared that split second that she actually noticed me. I always reminisced that day and what had happened a long time ago. It was my greatest memory.

I ended getting stuck with Sakura, I knew I didn't love her but if I was single I would still have the fans. If I'm with her, well, let's just say, Sakura is one scary person. When I had left the village she had sent me so many letters of her expressing her love that I just get tired of it and caved in finally.

I had been gone for a long time now so I didn't know how everyone was doing. I didn't even know how everyone looked. I had burly entered the village trying to see if I could recognize anyone. I just looked around the village not much had changed most people looked the same. They had there same look, attitude, and smile.

I wore a black cloak with a hood. I had put the hood over my head and some dark sunglasses so I wouldn't get noticed. I just walked around the village and stared at everyone as they grew up. I searched the village where I could find my old fellow Chunin's like the old days.

The first people I saw were Ino and Chouji. Ino looked the same except more 'developed'. And Chouji looked the same just bigger and longer hair. They seemed to be very close when I saw them. They probably started going out. I always knew those two would go, Shikamaru wasn't her style really and Chouji deserved a nice girl.

I just stared at them as I past the flower shop. I then headed toward the Ramen shop. Of course as obvious I would see Naruto. He looked the same except more mature and a different orange suit on. He seemed the same from where I was standing, same hair, same voice, and same smile. I could never forget that idiotic goofy grin of his.

Sakura was sitting next to him. She still had her short pink hair and red dress. Her and Naruto seemed to be getting along quiet well, a bit too well, but I didn't care I just felt bad for Hinata what would she think? But strangely Hinata was no where in sight of Naruto which was quiet strange. I decided to visit the dog pound her best friends would be there.

All I saw was Kiba and Shino, they looked the same but different. Kiba was taller and ad a different look to him, Shino did as well but he was wearing the same outfit as me except his was grey. But Kiba's dog changed the most; especially Akamaru that dog is huge. But still, no sight of Hinata. I surely thought she would be somewhere around them.

I had no luck what so ever finding Hinata so I decided to give up and find Kakashi. I went to the local book store and looked around for him. Strangely I could not find him so I decided to leave to book shop and check somewhere else. I headed toward the exit.

I opened the door and walked out but as soon as I did someone came all of a sudden rushing from the side and slammed right into me! "Damnit." I cursed under my breath. I could not believe that I did not see that coming at all towards me.

"S-sorry." I heard a very soft and delicate voice say to me. My eyes widened as I slowly turned to face the voice. It was Hinata Hyuuga. She was bowing with apologies. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe that all my searching finally paid off, and all I had to do was fall down on my ass.

"Huh? Oh please no! Don't apologize! I'm sorry." I said to her while helping her up off the floor. She just looked at me with this strange look, just smiled politely, bowed and ran off in the opposite direction of me.

She couldn't even give me eye contact? And her smile, it was different I could tell. But Hinata looked different. More 'developed' and she had longer hair also, sure I like her short hair but this hair worked as well. And she also wasn't wearing that horrid sweater.

I just stared at her as she left my sight. I couldn't believe after all this time she still didn't notice me. I guess this was just the way it was meant to be. I thought sadly to myself. Hinata Hyuuga and I could never be. I just sighed and headed toward Kakashi's house.

Hinata's P.O.V:

I ran as fast as I could. I could not believe after all these years Sauske Uchiha would return. I could not breath I was in complete shock. Not many people knew this but I once liked Sauske when I was younger.

I was twelve years old trying on a dress in a kimono shop for the Hyuuga dinner we were to have special guest from another village. I remember trying on the dress and looking at the mirror and from the reflection I could see Sauske staring at me.

I just stared at him. And he just stared at me with a blank expression. I bet he was thinking how horrid I looked in the dress. I turned a bright shade of crimson red. We just stared at each other, I knew Sauske Uchiha didn't even know who I was he never was noticed me ever in our life of going to school together.

The owner f the shop had saw Sauske and thought he was a weirdo, pervert or something like that. I knew he wasn't but I also knew that he was misunderstood and no one truly got him. Half a year later when we were thirteen he left with Orachimaru, I'm surprised he's returned.

I just kept walking not truly knowing where I was going until I herd my name being called from not to far away. "Hinata! Hinata!" Someone yelled out. I turned around and it was Naruto and Sakura.

Naruto and Sakura had started going out about three months now. According to Sakura she doesn't have the heart to tell Sauske. That I actually could believe, Well I mean the whole thing about her not having a heart. But what she was doing to Sauske was pretty mean. I don't even know how she and Sauske ever went out.

It was probably from all of those letters she sent him that he finally gave up and said 'yes'. I wasn't completely upset; I gave up on Naruto about two to three years ago. I had finally confessed my love for him but he just rejected me like I knew he would.

Flashback:

We were about fourteen to fifteen years old and I was tired of keeping my emotions about him a secret and to myself I wanted others to know how I felt about him. I was completely ready to tell him how I truly felt and hopefully he would too.

I had run through out the whole village looking for Naruto. I had finally found him just sitting on the bridge. He said he wasn't hungry, which was a big shocker to me, and that's why he wasn't and the Ramen bar today.

"Um...Na-Naruto..." I stuttered a bit. He just looked at me with a weird expression that his goofy smile later took over as his smile went across his face from ear to ear. I truly loved that smile; it could brighten up anybody's day, including mine.

"Um, yea Hinata.' He said sweetly I just blushed I could not believe that after all these years I was finally going to say it. Say the three magical words that I hoped with all my heart would be returned to me as well. I just breathed in and out so I wouldn't die of forgetting to breathe. But I couldn't help it.

"I--" I stuttered I just kept thinking was this the right decision. Was I really going to tell him? He just stared at me and I knew I had to or it would slowly eat me inside. "Love you..." I mumbled under my breath.

"What!?" He said putting his hand behind his ear. "I didn't hear you." He said. I just took another deep breath and mumbled it under my breath. He did the same thing as well. "I still can't hear you Hinata!?"

"I LOVE YOU!" I yelled at him with my face completely red. I just braced myself I was scared to death of what he was going to say back. I just held my breath and I waited.

"I love you too Hinata." He said. My eyes widened I could not believe he just said that. Was I dreaming or something, I quietly pinched myself and I wasn't dreaming.

"Y-you do..." I asked with complete and udder shock. He just nodded his head I could not believe this. I couldn't believe what was going n. My true love, loved me back. It was a miracle. I must've been the luckiest girl in the world. I just smiled happily

"Yep...Like a sister." He said still smiling. When he said that, all my happiness had been wiped completely out of my body and my smile froze and broke. 'I think I just died a little on the inside.' I thought to myself. "That's what you meant...right?" He asked me curiously.

I just nodded my head trying to contain the tears. "Y-yes...you l-love me like a si-sister, and I lo-love you like a br-brother." I said, just saying it made me die a little more inside. "I'm s-sorry for w-wasting y-your time." I said and bowed and ran away in the opposite direction.

I jus ran as fast as I could with tears streaming my face. I just wiped them when I finally stopped running. My heart had been broken and could never be fixed. From this day my heart would never beat again.

End of Flashback:

From that day I could not give anyone I knew complete eye contact. I just kept most of my emotions bottled up. I never told Kiba or Shino that I had finally told Naruto. But when I saw Sauske it felt like my heart had starting beating.

After that horrible day with Naruto my heart never has beaten the same again. I had thought many times of killing myself but I knew it would be useless. No one would ever miss me. I was a pathetic weakling that could never succeed in anything.

I just put on a fake and broken smile that I always put on when I saw Naruto and Sakura. It always felt like I had a mask on when I smiled. Because I only knew my smile was truly fake and that it was actually broken. But no one would ever know. No one probably ever would notice.

I just turned and waved toward them as they rushed over to me. "You can not believe whose back in the village!" Naruto said while jumping up and down with excitement. It truly was cute seeing Naruto happy, but I bit sad knowing that it's Sakura who makes him the happiest.

"Who?" Hinata asked with a fake soft smile. From where she was standing it would look like she was giving complete eye contact. She actually set her eyes to the eye point but just looked at that small opening between Naruto and Sakura.

"SAUSKE!!" Naruto yelled and my eyes went blank. I had already known he was back, but didn't want to be reminded. "Were planning to throw him a 'welcome back' party!!" Naruto yelled with a fist in the air. He might've been older but he's still his old self. "You're going to come right? We're going to have it at Kakashi's place tomorrow." Naruto said happily.

"U-um...yes, I'll c-come." I said reassuringly with a side smile. Sakura and Naruto just smiled and left back to whatever they wee doing before. I just kept walking throughout the village. I could not believe I was going to attend a party that Sauske Uchiha would be at. I just had to figure out what I was going to wear.

Regular P.O.V:

Hinata had finally reached the flower shop where she was supposed to meet Ino, Tenten, and Temari. Ino and Chouji started going out half a year ago, there never separated unless it's important. Tenten and Neji have been going out for about 3 years now, once they turn twenty-one there going to get married. And Temari has been going out with Shikamaru for about six months now. Every since the treaty the sand siblings have became close friends to the fellow leaf ninjas.

Hinata came rushing into the store with the others just staring at her weirdly. "Hinata what's wrong?" Tenten asked as the surrounded her and fanned her off. "You look like you've seen a ghost?" She said and started laughing. The others laughed as well; when Hinata finally caught her breath and calmed herself down to speak.

"S-Sauske..." Hinata said finally. They all just stopped dead in there tracks and just looked at her with serious faces. "He's ba-back." Hinata said. They all just looked at her and she just nodded her head repeatedly in fast motion. "And th-there throwing h-him a p-party."

"What!!" Ino yelled. "Why didn't I get invited?!" Ino said and pouted. Chouji just smiled and put his hands on her shoulders to comfort her. He bended down and whispered some stuff in her ear. They just whispered a bit then Ino face turned red in embarrassment. "Oppsy, according to Chouji we did." She said and rubbed the back of her head.

"Wow...Why do I hang out with you guys again?" Temari asked as she just starred at all us with a questiongly look on her face.

"Because you love us!" Ino responded as Temari just rolled her eyes and we all bursted off laughing. Temari always claimed she didn't know them, but deep down they all knew she loved them with all her heart, if she even had one.

"So Hinata, what are you going to where?" Tenten asked as she sat down in a chair with a bag of chips. "You're going to have to look awesome!" She said eyes widening.

"Yea...Wait, where did you get those chips?" Ino asked curiously.

"Huh? Oh Chouji's secret snack stash" She said as she ate more.

"What!!" Ino yelled and got red. Chouji just froze. "I thought you said you were on a diet!!" Ino yelled at him. Chouji's eyes widened as Ino got tensed. She just bawled her fist and knocked him in the head.

"Chill Ino, let the boy do what he wants." Temari said while crossing her arms. "If he wants to eat, let him eat." She said Ino just eyed her and shrugged it off. "But Tenten's right, what are you going to wear?"

"I-I dont know...this?"

"What!!" They all said in unison.

"This isn't bad..."

"Hinata." Tenten said. "The way you dress is...Hmmm how can I explain this..." Tenten thought for awhile. She thought for a few seconds till Ino butted in all of a sudden.

"You look like your five years old wearing your mom's clothes! And in your case your moms a DUDE!" Ino said. The others just looked at her astound at what she said. They couldn't believe she said that.

"Don't worry Hinata." Temari said. "We'll get you a kick ass! Outfit tomorrow okay!" Temari said and hugged Hinata's shoulders. Hinata just smiled and nodded. They all decided to sleep over since Ino lived in the flower shop, there were two-stories to the flower shop, and the upper story was an apartment that Ino slept in.

Next Day:

Hinata had woken up bright and early to get in the shower before Ino uses all of the hot water. Hinata quickly took her shower, dried her hair, and got dressed in her usual outfit. Everyone else woke up; Ino woke up last so everyone got a hot shower.

"So...What store are we hitting up first?" Temari asked curiously while putting her hair up into four ponytails. "I'm not familiar with these leaf village stores." She said and plopped herself onto the couch in between Hinata and Tenten.

"Let's go to my store." Tenten offered.

"Um..." They all said in unison

"What!?" Tenten said confusingly. Everyone just looked at her and just awkwardly laughed at her. "What is something wrong with my fashion?" She said putting her hands to her hips.

"Um..." Hinata and Temari said with a weird expression.

"Your style is scary, and manly." Ino said all of a sudden. Hinata and Temari eyes just widened as Ino said this. "What...It is! No offence Tenten, but your clothing store also sells weapons and poisons."

"So! It still has good clothes!"

"Yea...For a Viking!"

"Well we can't take her to your store!"

"And why not!"

"Because I don't think Hinata would like looking like a street hooker!"

Ino gasped and so did Hinata and Temari. Ino just turned red but strangely calmed down. "Whatever...We'll just take her to that new store on the corner." She said. Everyone just looked at her shockingly, including Tenten. "What...Stop staring at me?" She said and covered her face. Everyone just laughed at her sad attempt to be modest and not love all this attention she was getting.

10 Mins. Later:

"Finally! We're here!!" Ino yelled as everyone entered the store. The store was a small boutique of variety of clothes. Everyone liked the clothes, somehow the clothing store had outfits that all of them can agree on.

They all graved as much clothes that they think would fit Hinata's look best. Ino clothes, Tenten clothes, and Temari's clothes. They just shoved her in there with all there ideas of a perfect outfit. Ino picked out alot of purple and pink short skirts and shirts with slits, and plunging neck lines and more.

Tenten got alot of dark colored outfits such as brown Capri's, and dark green geisha shirts. They also had a lot of pockets for kunai's, shuriken's, and a katana. Temari had picked more simple things. Light colors, pants, leginings, long shirts, weird neck shirt designs but they all looked nice.

Hinata came out in all there outfits, they automatically crossed out Ino's since Hinata wouldn't even leave the dressing room. They also crossed out tenten's. Hinata wobbled in the outfits because the pockets were so big and heavy. That had just left temari's outfit.

Hinata came out in a pair of light beige Capri shorts, a really light babies breathe blue top that had some weird design on it, a black vest, beige ankle boots, and a hot pink bandana wrapped around her neck. When Hinata came out everyone just froze and stood quiet until. "HINATA!! YOU LOOK AWESOME!!" Ino yelled and ran over to her.

"I picked out whatever I could find." Temari said.

"Oh, I like it. Thank you Tema."

"Your welcome Hina, but sorry you look like a cowboy."

"It's alright."

"So who's ready to PARTY!!"
