A/N: Hey Peeps! Here's a new project I'm trying out; A NaruHina Fic~ ^o^ I think I'm gonna do just fine on this, but you guys will have to be the judges of that. On to the story!

"You're useless!" I cringed at his words.

"I-I'm so-

"Shut up!" He interrupted me with a slap across the face.

My face stung, I already felt my skin turning red.

"Get out of my sight!" I walked to the closet door in the front hallway and grabbed my coat.

I opened the door and slammed it behind myself.

I could feel the tears threatening to flood my face.

I threw on my coat and walked to a random direction.

Maybe I am useless. I still tried to hold in my tears.

My mind flashed back to earlier events the day before.

"I don't know who would accept you as their student, you're weak! All you do is whine and complain! I'm so sick of you, just get out!"

I had just made him breakfast and he didn't like the pancakes.

I got abused verbally and physically almost every day, well you could say it was every day.

Then, I pulled on my jacket and rested my hands in the coat pockets.

It's getting colder out now. I thought, pulling up the hood.

I didn't know much about being a real teenager.

At 17, all I had were restrictions on everything, thanks to my wonderful father.

Hell, I couldn't even go on missions anymore!

My stuck up little sister could though.

Hanabi was always a daddy's girl, unlike me.

My life isn't as I want it to be.

Not that I'm picky or anything, it was just that I've struggled so much with everything, again, thanks to my wonderful father.

Every friend I could make was turned away by my father.

All the people in my clan despise me.

To them, I'm no heiress; I'm just a despicable waste of time and energy.

I knew it too, they made sure I knew.

From all of the nasty glares to people ignoring me, and even closing up shops or yelling things at me.

But, there was this one occasion that stuck out from the others.

I walked down the street, minding my own business.

Today was the usual.

Evil glares and girls calling me names.

Boys laughing at me and calling me useless.

Even the elders didn't want anything to do with me.

I'm a nuisance, as always.

I tried to ignore, but I couldn't help it if a curse word or two slipped out of my mouth.

I always tried to stay strong and not let them get under my skin, but it would accidentally slip out of me when I wasn't paying attention.

I walked faster, trying to get out of the sights of the ones that hated me so much.

Only a few people actually cared for me, people like my teammates; Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame, Kurenai Sensei, Lady Tsunade, Shizune, and maybe a few more.

I finally reached a quiet spot in a small clearing with a few trees.

I sat next to a few bushes and wiped my eyes with my shirt sleeve, they felt like they would fall shut any minute.

Things had finally calmed down and I could feel myself slump out of tenseness.

There was a slight movement in the bushes.

I stared closely at the bushes but, nothing happened.

I let out a sigh and started to walk away.

There was that eerie rustle again but, it was right in front of me this time.

I eyed the area surrounding me and took a defensive crouch.

"What good is that gonna do you weak wench?" A girl's voice called out and there was a soft thud in front of me.

Ah, it was the girl who hated me most of all out of the clan.

Asako Hyuuga.

This particular black-haired girl despised me ever since we were young kids.

When we entered the academy though, Asako couldn't seem to find a way past me and my newly learned jutsus.

She would constantly bully and torture me to no end and I ended up hating her when I got older.

Yes, even I had confidence back then but, it wasn't a great amount either.

Asako smirked and walked towards me, her long pony-tail waving around.

"What do you want?" I had already had enough of this BS; I didn't need more of it.

"What do I want? Well, isn't it obvious?" Asako stopped a few centimeters away and crossed her arms.

"Not really."

"Huh, well then I guess you'll have to figure it out yourself." With that Asako lunged at me with a fist full of chakra.

I quickly activated my Byakugan and disappeared out of sight and I could sense her activate hers too.

Asako slid on her feet and turned 360 just as I appeared behind her with senbon between my knuckles.

I jumped upward and landed on a thick tree branch.

I shoved the senbon into my pouch.

Asako pulled out two kunai and threw them my way.

They were dodged easily and I disappeared out of sight again.

"Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms!" I heard a quiet gasp come from her mouth as my fingers pounded against her back.

As my jutsu ended, I flipped backwards and slid only a few feet away from her limp body.

She struggled to stand, as her chakra points were currently closed off.

I breathed in and out heavily, taking a defensive stance, as I know she wasn't one to give up so easily.

She staggered towards me with a kunai in hand and I backed away slowly.

She continued to attempt to strike me with the kunai and of course, I dodged every one.

I ran around her and tripped her.

She moaned in pain as her body hit the solid ground.

I took a seat on a tree trunk a few feet away.

"Asako, why don't you just give up, it's not really worth-

"You just shut up, I'm going to beat you no matter what!" I was taken aback at her interruption.

It never seemed to hit me but, I soon realized that she and I had these kinds of encounters all the time.

Were we rivals?

"Asako, you shouldn't-

"I said shut up!" She struggled to stand and she winced when she fell back to the ground.

She finally got back up after two more tries and I was already standing.

She had a stone-cold expression on her face and a death glare in her eyes.

I didn't want to hurt her any more than I had to but, that expression was raising my adrenaline.

I gave her a serious expression, notifying her that I was ready to really fight.

She gave a small smirk and charged at me.

Her movements were steady and I almost got hit in the face from one of her kicks.

I had an uneasy feeling, especially since I was on the defensive.

I launched a clone and she stabbed it in the abdomen as I thought she would, if that were the real me.

When a wooden log appeared, she growled in disliking.

I hopped down from the tree I was occupying and ran towards her.

I leaped over her and twisted in the air as I threw a paper bomb attached to a kunai at her.

She did a mid-air somersault and I cursed under my breath when I smelled oak burning.

"Dammit." Asako's chakra points had slowly begun to open back up after our recent taijutsu attacks.

Asako wove the Dragon-Tiger-Hare hand signs.

"Water Style: Raging Waves!" I jumped to a tree out of her path and stuck myself to it.

She let out a good amount of water and put out the fire; we didn't want to damage our village.

"That jutsu took most of the chakra you regained, what will you do now?" I didn't want her to push herself to death.

"Damn, don't think of this as a forfeit you idiot!" She then poofed and a cloud of smoke appeared where she was standing before.

"Huh." I jumped down, deactivated my Byakugan, and proceeded to walk back home.

I sighed at the stupid memory and continued walking until a reached a small park.

One thing I did appreciate was that little kids didn't judge you until their mommies or daddies told them to stay away.

I waved and smiled as a small group of kids waved at me with happy expressions.

"Hi, Hinata-chan!" The group continued to play after I greeted them back.

I slightly flinched when I felt Neji's shoulder brush up against my arm.

"Oh, hey Neji." I managed a smile.

"Hi, Hinata." He looked like he just got done training or something; he looked tired.

"What's up? You look worn out." I cocked a brow.

"Training session with TenTen." He already knew what was coming.

"Oh, training session with TenTen, huh?" I smirked at him.

"Ugh, here we go." I know he hated when I did this to him but, I loved it!

"TenTen and Neji sitting in a tree-

"Oh come on-

"K-I-S-S-

"Hinata." He gave me 'the look'.

"I-N-G-

"So, how is Naruto these days?" He grinned at me and I sighed.

We continued walking down a stone path, almost to the Hyuga compound.

"Hm, I don't really know, good question though. As I was saying, First comes-

"Oh Kami-sama, help this misguided cousin of mine." He shook his head in frustration and I continued on happily about him and TenTen having their honeymoon on an island.
