Zeelee-Vallen: A Hinata gamer story! I already have so many, but I just had to post this one. Oh! And I've been really busy with finals, getting ready to move, and preparing for practicum, so I've been pretty damn busy. I'm sorry for slow posts…

This will diferate between Hinata, and sometimes her teammates, but mostly Hinata. It will also go from the game world to real life, just to make things fun.

We do not own Naruto.

Contrary to popular belief, Hinata loved video games.

Despite being the heiress of her enormously large household, and the one who would take over and become the head, she was a gaming master.

Etiquette, manners; none of it mattered soon as she got her controller in her hands.

And now, tomorrow, was the release of the new virtual reality game 'Life.' It was said to have a 99.9 % of realism. The first of its kind, and it will be the best of its kind. She stared at the game screen, her fingers pressing buttons rapidly as she defeated armies of minions.

It was the one thing she loved. Games. Reality was her hell. At home she had to be the prefect lady, a doll for her father to control. He never cared for her, nor loved her. She was merely his successor. In the past it was worst, she was shy, her words scrambled. That was when she use to get beaten. But now, the beatings were often absent, as long as she was a doll. Her little sister did not care for her, didn't dare indulge in her gaming, since she was the perfect girl. Make-up, accessories, cloths. That was Hinabi's world. Neji didn't mind her. He sought her out some days, others he ignored her.

Then there was school. With baggy sweaters and loose pants, not many people looked at her. The few who did, didn't like her. Ino bullied her to hells end, saying how such an ugly person shouldn't exist. Sakura would make snide remarks regarding her disgusting appearance.

Sometimes Sasuke would stick up for her, being her family's partner in business and all, but it would make the bulling so much worst. Girls would finally see her, hate her, and bully her. It was better when she was ignored.

Her manly character with bulging muscles on her screen made a fancy move, killing all the people around him. A ranking apered on the screen, her gamer name on top. She was the top raking player in the world. In fact, it was almost getting boring being on top. Perhaps Life would change that, give her a worthy challenge.

She was used to playing alone… She liked being alone. Alone, she could play all the games she wanted. Alone, she could be whom she wanted.

She liked being alone. Playing games, pretending to be whom she liked.

She scurried to her locker, the people around her giving her strange looks. She ducked her head, increasing her pace. If she didn't hurry, she wouldn't be able to beat the rush. There was going to be lines down the street for Life. She preordered one, but it would be pointless if she couldn't get to it. The game was activated at 8pm, so she had to get it before then so she could prepare her items. By items she meant energy drinks and energy bars.

Her eyes widened when she spotted Neji leaning on her locker, glaring at whomever passed. She approached him, slowing her frantic pace. His gaze ran over her, looking bored.

"I heard Life is being released today." She nodded, slightly confused. Neji rarely showed interest in games. "I want you to get me a copy. The girl I like is going to be playing it." Her eyes widened, before she quickly nodded.

"As… you wish, Neji-nii." He looked over her once more, before stalking off.

"So… You're going to play Life?" She looked over to see Sasuke, eyes diverted. His expression was slack, as if he couldn't be more bored.

"Yes…" She mumbled, before grabbing her bag. "See…." She paused, wondering if it was the wrong wording. "See you later…" She nodded to him before rushing out of the building.

It was a lot easier to get the game than she thought. She beat the rush, and was able to get her cousins game for a discount price since she was already getting one. Grinning, she trotted to her house. Tonight was going to be amazing.

Zeelee-Vallen: I know, I know. I just had too, though. Next chapter will be interesting. I need to ask though! Who do you think should be in her party? Who should her potential love interest be?
