He was staring again. His azure eyes gazing at the light sky blue sun tattooed on his left palm. It was the only thing he was ever truly interested in (apart from ramen and his dream to be hokage of course). When he first saw it he had asked the old man what it meant. The memory began replaying in his mind.

"Hey old man, what is this?" He said. It was the days when the old man would visit his crappy apartment and give him an allowance.

"It's a soulmark. It leads you to who your destined to be with." He said while filing some paperwork. He was just about to leave before Naruto stopped him.

"Soulmate? What's that? Were my parents soulmate's?" He asked the old man. He sighed and blew in his pipe before turning to face him with a small smile on his wrinkled face.

"Their the people who you are destined to be with. Their the people who would understand you the most. They're the people who care about you the most."

"Really!? What about my Mom and Dad. Were they soulmate's?" He asked again.

A soulmate! He felt so lucky to be blessed with one. He couldn't wait to meet them. Though he feels like he doesn't deserve one. He's scared they might end up hating him like everyone else in the village.

Hiruzen merely dropped his smile and left the small apartment. Leaving the small Uzumaki alone with his thoughts.

He sighed and looked out his window and saw the full moon tonight. Tomorrow would be another day of torment from the villagers.

"Stop." He said at the group of boys. They immediately snapped their attention to him. The three pf them were bullying a small girl, probably the same age as him with short dark navy hair and unusual lavender eyes. She was sitting on the ground with tears in her eyes.

"Eh? Who are you?" The leader asked.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki! The future hokage, dattebayo!" He yelled with a large smile on his face.

The three of them all laughed at his words. "You, as Hokage? Yeah right!" The leader laughed before walking over to Naruto.

"A loser like you can't be hokage!" He said before punching him across the face. He fell on the ground in pain, he held his cheek in pain before standing up again.

A smile was on his face, even after everything they done. "Kagebunshin No Jutsu...!" The blonde yelled as a large smoke appeared.

"N-no way!!" They all stood in fear and shock as the smoke cleared.

Only to find a wobbly and disfigured clone. Soon after the clone fell and disapered. The bullies all recovered from their fear and let smirks appear on their faces before laughing at his failed attempt at a shadow clone

Naruto lunged at the leader and began punching him weakly. "Don't laugh at me! That was a distraction! You shouldn't let your gaurd down like that!!" He continiued his assault before being shoved away.

"Why you little...!" He yelled before shoving him on the ground. The group began kicking and punching him as hard as they can.

Hinata could only lay their frightened as she didn't now what to do in situations like these. Suddenly they all heard someone yelling her name.

"Lady Hinata!!" A branch member yelled as they ran towards the young heiress.

"O-oh shit! Scram!" The leader yelled before he and his friends began running away in fear of getting in trouble.

"Lady Hinata are you alright? Let's go." He said as he grabbed her hand. She only nodded her head before looking at the small blonde boy, it was only then she noticed the sun tattoo on his left hand.

"You musn't associate with that boy, Lady Hinata. He's only trouble." He said. Hinata's eyes widened and she began struggling slightly.

"B-but h-he saved me!" She stuttered. And he's my soulmate, she wanted to say but fought the urge to.

Not long after they exited the forest leaving the blonde boy alone.

Three years passed and Hinata finally meets him again. Their eight years old and finally starting the academy. Hinata observed how he doesn't listen much and does many pranks on poor Iruka-sensei.

She really wanted to speak with him. Tried to but couldn't as her shyness and Father had forbidden her from even interacting with him.

It was soon the day where they were placed on teams. Hinata hoped and prayed that she'd get placed on Naruto-kun's team. Though her wish was shot down as she was wih Kiba and Shino. Hinata was dissapointed but she didn't let it show on her face.

Hinata wonders when she'll finally be able to formally meet her soulmate.

lll

During the chunin exams, Hinata cheered him on. Even against her cousin, she still cheered for him. Afterall they were soulmate's, even if the other didn't know.

Hinata gasped when she saw him get thrown on the ground. She prayed to every god that was out there that he was okay.

'Naruto-kun get up, you can do it..' She thought.

She smiled happily when he did. She cheered when he deafeted Neji, though in the inside she felt a little guitly that Neji was in pain.

lll

She always felt slightly jealous when he was always running after Sakura.

She held no hatred for the pinkette, she just wishes that he could notice her more. Hinata sighs sadly.

lll

"N-naruto-kun!" Hinata ran after him as he was just about to step out of the gate.

"Eh? Hinata?" The blonde ninja asked.

Hinata panted before regaining her breath.

"U-um... i-is it true? Y-your leaving to train?" The hyuga asked sadly.

"Yeah! The pervy sage said he was gonna train me! So I'll be gone for awhile." He said.

"O-okay then, I guess. B-be careful and..." Hinata trailed off. Naruto looked at her curiously

"Oi! Kid, lets get going!" Jiraiya yelled.

"Yeah I'll be right there! I was just speaking with a friend!" Naruto scratched his head sheepishly.

"Y'know, I thought you were really, a shy and negative person, but... I think I like people like you!" Naruto says before he started walking away. Hinata merely blushed and looked away, fidgeting with her fingers.

"Well see ya later, Hinata!"

"G-good luck Naruto-kun..."

lll

"I stand by what I say, beacause... that's my ninja way..."

She says weakly before being lifted of the ground and thrown harhsly. The only thing she ever remembered was Naruto staring at her palm in horror and sadness. Then it all went black.

lll

"Hinata?" A voice whom the Hyuga grew to love says.

"Hmm?" Hinata snaps out of her thoughts and looks beside her to see Naruto looking slightly worried. They were seated at the park on a mat watching the fireworks display.

"Your zoning out, something on your mind?" He asked.

"Oh nothing, just reminiscing on a few memories." She answers.

They started dating after pein's attack and the rebuilding of the village. They had their first date, first kiss, ect. Hinata smile's to herself as she leans against him as they watch the fireworks.
