SasuHina Fanfiction by Yukiko Nanashi 13.

What You Can Expect: Expect a slow love story, especially since it's with a couple of two people who never talked... It also follows a realistic storyline in the anime, after Sasuke left, so this will be more stimulated, than straight-up experience romance- If you didn't understand the concept of that last quote, you'll just have to read it yourself. Also, the language in this isn't that vulgar, but only a few things.

What Not to Expect: Anything's possible... You know, as long as the follow the above things...

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. And just for the heck of it, everyone does it, so..:

-YukikoNanashi: Yeah I don't own Naruto..
-Naruto: Thank GOD.

-YukikoNanasahi: Shut up, or my next fanfic is about how you die.

-Naruto: You wouldn't do that, I'm the main character of this fic! Dattebayo!

-YukikoNanashi: I only mentioned you, you should be out of the story by like the next few chapters.

-Naruto: TT

It was raining. The night was completely still, and the silence was lonely. Hinata sat on her bed thinking, convincing her family she was asleep. Naruto, why did you leave us? That question raced through mind whenever she was alone. She didn't even bother to go to sleep, she knew she wouldn't dream. It was two months ago when Naruto left Konoha, so her pain just recently started. At first, she convinced herself he needed to be stronger. She decided to become stronger too, so she could help Naruto save Sasuke. Lately, she wanted him here, where his strength could inspire her. She couldn't wait 2 years for inspiration! Despite it all, her patience was running thinner each day. Her drowsiness eventually took over her thoughts, as she slowly fell asleep...

"Hinata-sama!" The next day, early in the morning, someone was pounding on her door.

"Hinata-sama!" Her eyes opened slowly, while her vision went back into focus. "Hinata-sama!!" The pounding became louder and louder, even chakra was leaking out of her door. "Hinata-sama!!!"

She went to open the door. No one else but her pale-faced cousin.

"Hai?"

"The Chunin Exams are coming up again. All Genin are being asked to go to the Hokage tower."

"Hai. Neji-ni-san, a-are y-you going as w-well?"

"Iiee. I plan on taking the Jonin Exams."

"E-eto... You're only a Genin though.. W-will they let you?"

"Hai. I don't see any reasons not to. My journeys with Naruto have served me quite well. Well, I'll meet you outside."

He walked off without another word. Hinata stood in the doorway, tears slowly streaming down her face. Naruto-kun.. All she could do was think about him! She went back to her room to get ready.

After packing kunai, she fled down a flight of stairs and went near her field. She could see Hanabi has already laid out the tea for their father, relieved she didn't have to do it herself. Hanabi was slowly progressing, and they never really had a close relationship with each other. It made Hinata want to become stronger, so her sister never became snobby toward her... She would hate it. The Chunin Exams were the perfect way to prove herself to everyone. She opened the extremely over sized door, and saw Neji waiting for her. She knew he was probably going to escort her to the Hokage.

"Ano... I-I would like to travel to the tower with my team... If that's okay."

"Hai."

He didn't seem to be surprised or emotionally moved, so he turned away and walked.

"Ano... Good luck at the Jonin Exams!"

He stopped in his tracks. "Hai."

She knew he never really talked much, so it didn't bother her. She began to walk to where the Hokage was. Her mind still couldn't get Naruto off, it started to bother her a lot. Naruto wanted to become stronger! I want to be stronger like him! So why does it bother me that he isn't here with me? Is it that I have no inspiration? But I must be stronger! I mustn't let him get in my way! For Naruto-kun... She finally made it to the tower, where several Genin were. There were probably hundreds, crowding the inside and outside of the building. All from several unknown villages, all of them but Konohagakure No Sato.. Where were the leaf genin? She went deep into the crowd to find them. No one paid attention to her, even when she apologized. She could see why, she didn't look very intimidating to them. They'll see I am stronger! Maybe even as strong as Naruto-kun! She plunged deeper into the crowd, still no sign of Konoha's Genin. She started to think that maybe she wasn't even in the right place...

"Hinata-san!" A rather girlish voice from behind grabbed her shoulder. She turned to see the only remaining Genin from Squad 7.

"Sakura-san! You are here as well?"

"Hai! We are all here! C-mon, I'll show you where the others are."

She took a hold of Hinata's hand, pulling her out of the side of the crowd. There's an incredible surplus population of Genin, even from all these different villages.

She then saw the only familiar faces she was used to. Compared to all the other Genin, there weren't that many from Konoha. Of course, there were more that she hadn't seen before, but the small amount was astonishing. Maybe 15 to 20 Genin being compared to the hundreds that surrounded them. Sakura let go of her hand.

"I told ya! Well, have you done any training in preparation for the Chunin Exams?"

"Well actually, I didn't find out until today... Before I came here..."

"Oh... Well, you can train now. Tsunade-sama hasn't come out yet, she's always late for everything!"

"She is?" Some Hokage...

"Hai! I work under her command, so I would know best! She's been giving me really harsh training lately, it's so unbearable!"

"R-really?"

"Hai!" Sakura could feel herself bragging. She didn't want to brag to a person like Hinata. "Oh, but it's probably just harsh for me, I'm not that good! That's probably why she's training me so hard!!!" She smiled hard at Hinata, twitching.

"You are good Sakura-san. There is no need for you to worry."

"Oh, yes there is! We took the exams once already, we know what to expect, but I'm still shaking! We all are."

"Hai. But we are stronger now, we can tolerate what they throw at us. Correct?"

"Hai. And yeah, we are stronger, aren't we? Well, I know that I'm stronger than Ino! That's all I need to know!" She turned her head smirking at her only rival.

Ino glanced at Sakura, and shouted back at her smirk. "What're you looking at?! What, trying to blind me with the sunlight bouncing off your forehead?!?!"

Sakura became angry. "Maybe I am! Why, does the heat from the sun bother you? Why don't you roll around in a mud puddle like the pig you are!!!!"

She walked off, yelling louder at Ino. They were fighting so much, Hinata could only stare. How could those two have been friends...?

She ignored them, and walked over to her team.

End of Chapter One.

I finished th first chapter, I am kind of proud. This is my first fanfiction, so I couldn't really think it over, I was too excited. Well, this chapter was really only for introductions to what is going to happen later on the story. By the looks of it, this might be a really long fanfiction... And yeah, this is in a way a love triangle between Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke. You'll see...
