Wounded Hearts

The bright sun rays, shine through my window, taking me out of my sleepy trance. Waking up is my favorite part of the day, a new day, a new chance to talk to Naruto. No, I must not think that way. He is the Hokage, I am the head of the Hyuuga clan. Our meetings are strictly business, plus.. He is still in love with Sakura.

Getting out of my comfortable bed, my bare feet touch the cold hard ground. The night gown clings to my body, I stare at myself in the mirror as I compare myself to who I was when I was thirteen. My hair grew all the way to my knees, I have a thinner face, almost alien. Taller of course, more curves than I had when I was sixteen.

" Hyuuga-sama, breakfast will be ready soon." A maid called through the door.

" I will be ready soon. Thank y-you." I nearly smacked myself, I had hoped that by the time I became clan head, my stutter would go away. How helpless can I be..?

Wounded Hearts....

I hate paperwork, more than I hate waking up so early in the morning, 6 AM! Seriously, who wakes up this early? Sakura doesn't even check in the Hospital until 9 am...But I guess this is one of the crappy stuff I have to do as Hokage.

Looking at the clock I see its 8:30, I think I might take a quick nap before I go to work again.. well.. I guess i could use my clones. Just to be careful.. I walk out my office , taking a quick glance around. Everything is clear.

" Sup."
"Hey, I need you to do some paper work."
" Again ..." The clone whined " Yep !"

Finally I can rest..

The door slams open and I fall out of the couch. " Naruto?! What have I told you about using clones?!" Sakura yelled. Well that was a pretty good 5 second rest...

Wounded Hearts....

Honestly! That Naruto, too lazy to do any of his damn work, he should know that being Hokage isn't all fun and games.
Walking into the stuffy, dark jail cell below the Hokage monument, I see Kiba , guarding the cell. Man, I used to hate jail duty...

" Hey Sakura, whats up?!"

"Nothing much, just coming here for a visit." I shut the door behind me using a torch to light my way to the very unsteady staircases. I always hate coming down here. Its full of ruthless rapists and murderers, but I really shouldn't judge. Maybe there story is the same as Sasuke's, and after all its not their fault, its what made them to become like this.

I push the secret codes in the door, as it releases the latches I step in.

"Hello, Sasuke." I said flatly, I dropped the 'kun' after he nearly destroyed Konoha. Seems reasonable enough.

" Sakura." His dark glaze stayed staring at the ground. He finally looked at me, he was a broken man . Tricked and fooled and not knowing weather he wanted to live or die, which at times made me angry, and sad. His hair grew all the way towards his shoulders, greasy from not bathing, he had also grown some facial hair. " How's Naruto?" Sasuke usually started off the conversation like that.

And I always said the same thing. ' He is okay' And I've said that everyday since, he came was about 11 years ago. When I was 16. Then we would stare at each other for an hour and not say a single word, and at then , I would go to the hospital.

But, for some odd reason. I'm going to do something different, and I don't have a clue why.

" Well, yeah I guess." Sasukes eye's widened slightly then closed again, he's surprised. So am I. " This morning I caught him sleeping, and a clone of his doing all the paperwork.

Im not sure, but just now I think Sasuke chuckled. I saw him sort of smiling.. in exchanged I smiled back.

Wounded Hearts....

Its a sunny morning today, well I guess i shouldn't say morning. Looking down at my watch its says 1:30. Alright then afternoon. I have to meet Neji , at 2:00, I have time.

Neji, I wonder what he's doing right about now. Probably glaring a Lee, the thought makes me laugh. Passing through shops I spot Hinata, with her guards. I should go say Hi. The shop is a clothing shop.. An underwear shop. Poor Hinata , having to shop for a bra with two static dolls surround her, when they don't even have to! For goodness sake, she can fend for herself. Isn't that why she became the head of the clan?

"Hinata! Haven't seen you in a while." Hinata blushed seeing that I kind of yelled at her across the store. Her body guards stiffened.

" Its alright Kenji, Fen. This is a close friend." The bodyguards reluctantly moved.

" Well jeez, maybe I should start calling you Hinata- SAMA.

" No thank you, Im not very fond of that sama. ' Hinata' is perfectly fine." She and I laughed.

" Well I gotta head out. Neji is probably waiting on me.. It was nice seeing you." I turned around and started to walk away.

" I did not know you and Neji-neesan were in a relationship." I nearly fell over my two feet, I'm shocked.

" What makes you say that?!" This is the weirdist thing that someone has ever said to me.

" Oh I'm sorry, it's just that you guys are always training together and you were on the same team.. Forgive me I was jumping to conclusions."

" Oh no! Hinata, it's okay I was just a bit.. shocked." Hinata and I said our goodbyes, as I walked toward my old team's training spot.

"Good afternoon, Tenten." Neji smiled, a small smile at me. My face began to heat up, I don't know why..

Wounded hearts....

I smell horrible, I sweat the stench of rotting skunks. My hair is so greasy its nearly dripping, Naruto thought it'd be a suitable punishment for me to only be able to brush my teeth or bathe once every three months. Well, I deserved it no doubt, I went mad with revenge. And it took nearly every single person close to me to beat my sorry ass, and bring me to be executed. I was fine with that, but Naruto wasn't. And since he had saved the village from the Akatsuki, they let me live.

Sakura visits me every morning and night, I don't deserve to look at her, let alone talk to her about her life. And every time she comes, we stare at each other, but this morning she actually talked to me. I couldn't talk back, I'm no good in conversations. I want that to change, I want to change who I once was. I'm not going to be that person who glares at people .

I smiled today, and laughed. I have no idea how long it's been since I've done that, all I know is that I look forward to doing it again. And I hope that I can talk next time..

Wounded Hearts....

Walking towards my apartment, I mean limpingtowards my apartment, I see a kid playing catch with his father. It gives me the last memory I had with my my father, before he sacrificed himself.. My body aches, Tenten must have something on her mind because she fights so much better when she is distracted. The very opposite of everyone else. I walk by a couple of stores, there's a giant clock on one of them. 5:46. I need to take a shower and do jail duty.

The worst part of my job.. Jail duty.

Wounded Hearts:

I hope everyone of you enjoyed my story, and believe me , I'm so thankful for you reading it. Review and criticism is welcomed.

This was just the beginning, an introduction, I want this story to be separate love stories. And yes I know some of the characters are OOC, but it's needed for the story line.

And on chapters I wont make them all be a part of a chapter. I'll most likely do a one pairing in a chapter, at a time.

I already have the second chapter done. review and comment if you want me to post it. Ill probably post it on saturday or sunday. Maybe today ..

Thanks again for reading Wounded Hearts,.

Sincerely, Tripple L.
