Chapter 1

"Hinata-chan! Dear Kami Hinata-chan! Thank Kami you're alright!" The woman said while kneeling down and hugging the girl.

"K-Kurenai-sensei? I don't understand. What…?"

The woman looked at her. The little girl eyes just beamed with innocence. Now slightly worried. She knew she could never tell the truth. Why did something like this have to happen? To a girl like Hinata no less. How do you tell a six year old something like this?

"Kurenai-sensei?" The still confused girl asked.

The woman stood up, quickly whipped away some tears and faked a smile. "Nothing Hinata-chan but I have some business to take care off. Would you care to join me?"

The little girl nodded and followed her while she pulled her on with her hand.

"Please don't p-pull so hard. It hurts."

The woman stopped in her tracks. What the hell was she doing? "I'm sorry Hinata-chan. I guess I'm just a little bit in a hurry."

They walked at a faster paste until they came at a big building. Hinata knew she had been at the building before but she didn't remember for what or when. There was a fan on the front of the building. It was red and white on a blue background. She stopped for a minute to admire it but the woman quickly gave another tug on her arm.

They walked through a hall of people. All seeming very busy with various things. The only thing that they all had in common was that when they saw her they stopped and looked sad. After that there were mere whispers. But what are whispers to a six year old when there are so many other more interesting things. Like all the small rooms this building seemed to consist of. Her curious eyes darted everywhere. Curiously inspecting as much as possible. The woman in front of her just kept tugging her along.

"Hinata-chan could you wait out here in the hallway for a minute while I take care of some business. I promise it won't take long."

The girl nodded eagerly and the woman smiled gently. Even if it had taken hours the girl wouldn't have minded. She never complained about anything and she was very patient. She wondered how a girl could become so perfect even when she was raised so badly. Kurenai knew the Hyuuga's well. She had trained Hinata since she was only a baby. She loved her like it was her own. Even though she had never liked the way the Hyuuga's raised they're children still she continued to work for them. She had wanted to quit multiple times but she just couldn't leave the girl alone. So she just continued to bite her tong.

Now the small Hyuuga girl waited alone in the hallway. Her pale eyes darted from one corner to the other. For a normal person there didn't seem to be much special about the hallway but kids always seemed fascinated with simple things. Two woman walked by.

"It's just such a tragedy what happened. I mean who could've seen something like that coming?" The first woman said.

The other woman nodded. "I heard. It seems to have been a real mess. They said the whole house was covered in…"

Both woman noticed the small Hyuuga girl and went silent. They both just looked at the floor while walking past not even giving her a second glance anymore.

The girl was confused but had little time to think as Kurenai came storming out of the room where she had disappeared in just moments ago.

"Hinata come on! We're leaving!" She said in a stern voice while she grabbed the little girls hand and dragged her back towards the exit of the building.

A man came out of the same room and tried to keep up with the woman. "Kurenai you can't do this. You need to think this through clearly. We both know there's no other way."

The woman stopped abruptly causing in the little girl bumping up against her. "I know." She muttered while tears came spilling down her cheeks.

"So you'll do it?" The man asked.

The woman just slowly nodded. "Come on Hinata." She said sniffing while she tugged once again on her arm.

They quickly left the building. Hinata felt uncomfortable with everyone now staring at them. When they got on the street the woman just tugged her along while looking sternly ahead. The tears seemed to have disappeared but if you looked really closely you could still see the marks they had left. Hinata had asked her multiple times what was wrong but the woman just kept sternly looking ahead and ignored the little girl.

"Where are we going Kurenai-sensei?" The woman ignored her. Suddenly Hinata started crying. The woman looked at her confused and kneeled down in front of her.

"I want to go home. I'm tired and father's going to be mad." The woman pulled the little girl close.

"I'm sorry Hinata. Don't worry. You're father isn't going to be mad at you. There is just one last place we need to go okay?"

The girl nodded and they started walking again. Soon they stood in front of a large house that Hinata had never seen before. They knocked on the door and almost immediately someone opened the door. The man had a brown spiky ponytail and a scar across his face. "Kurenai I presume?"

The woman nodded.

"Please come in." The man signaled for them to come in. "My name is Umino Iruka."

They both entered and sat down with Iruka. There was a short silence which Iruka quickly broke. "I presume you went to the police station? Because they called you would come?"

"Yes." The woman softly answered. "They told me to come."

"Do you want me too…?"

"No" The woman interrupted. "I just want to leave as soon as possible."

"I understand. I'll show you the way out."

The woman stood up and immediately felt the cold little Hyuuga hand grasp her own. The woman cringed. Like someone had hit her in the face.

"Hinata-chan, I'm going to leave now and you'll have to stay here for a while?"

"No, I want to go home." She wrapped her arms around the woman's arm. "Please Kurenai-sensei. I want to go home."

The woman winced. "Please Hinata-chan let go. I need to leave."

The girl slightly started to panic. She could feel the tense atmosphere her teacher was giving off.

"Hinata please…"

"I don't like it here! Don't leave me Kurenai-sensei! I want to go home!"

At this point one of the doors had, unknown to the two females, opened and 2 boys had appeared. They were both around Hinata's age. One with black hair, pale skin and black eyes, the other one had vibrant blue eyes, tanned skin with whisker marks on his cheeks and unruly blond hair.

"You can't go home Hinata! They're all dead!"

There was a short moment where the older woman immediately regretted her slip of the tong. It had happened in the heat of the moment. Probably because of her rage. Not at the young girl. At everything else.

"W-What?" The girl asked while tears started to spill from her eyes. She might be young but she already knew the meaning of life and death. Being a Hyuuga meant of course that she needed to be grown up for her age.

"I'm sorry Hinata. I need to go."

"Kurenai-sensei please don't go! Don't leave me!"

She desperately clung to the woman while she tried to rip free.

"Naruto, Sasuke could you give us a hand?"

The boys immediately grabbed the small girl and pulled the crying girl away from her teacher. The girl struggled but not as much as she could have.

"Kurenai-sensei please! Don't leave me!"

The woman turned around and left. Her face was though and stern but inside her heart was braking. As soon as she closed the door behind her she broke down in sobs.

As soon as the door closed the black haired boy let go of her, knowing that she would have to calm down. The girl cried even harder knowing that she was all alone. Her family had died and her sensei had left her. She desperately clung to the blond boy while she sobbed his chest. He was startled and didn't really know what to do. He settled on softly patting her head while she cried.

TSTSTSTSTSTSTSTSTSTSTS

Hinata Hyuuga was now almost ten years older. She was sitting at the table of 'Oyasuminasai'. 'Oyasuminasai' (good night) was a very special and unique house. This house was founded and managed by Umino Iruka. It was a large house with small rooms where not only orphans but also children who's parents didn't have time to take care of them or traveled a lot. It currently housed twelve children and of course Iruka himself.

First there was of course Hinata Hyuuga. She used to be a part of a very important family until a great massacre occurred. Nobody had really been fond of the harsh family but still nobody had wanted something as dreadful as this to happen. Hinata had no known relatives and now was under the caretaking of Iruka.

Next to her was Kiba Inuzuka. Kiba's family were drugs addicts and criminals so at a young age Kiba had been taken from them and placed in Oyasuminasai.

Next to Kiba was Shino Aburame. Shino also came from a very important family but his family was so busy with work, traveling and so on that he stayed in Oyasuminasai during school days.

Probably the loudest person at the table Ino Yamanaka's parents didn't have enough money to raise her so the police department had arranged for her to stay in Oyasuminasai. Though she still had close contact with her family.

Chouji Akimichi's parents were world-famous chefs who did nothing but travel the world. Not wanting their child to have the same kind of life they arranged his stay with Iruka. Hoping that he could grow up normally and healthy.

Shikamaru Nara was a genius. He went to school in a special school for special kids. It wasn't far from Iruka's home. That's why his parents, who lived very far away, made Shikamaru stay here. Though he still went home for the holidays.

Rock Lee was a student under the great student under Might Guy a world famous fighter. His parents lived to far and instead of moving here they let Lee stay in Oyasuminasai. Though he along with a lot of others also went home once in a while.

Tenten's last name and reason for staying was still unknown. She never really talked about her family much. But everyone knew she still had one and visited them in the vacations.

Sakura Haruno first had to stay in Oyasuminasai when her parents were rebuilding their house and had no room for her. After that she reluctantly moved back in with her parents. After that there were multiple family issues which resulted in her returning. Though she also went home a lot.

Next to her was the very dark Sasuke Uchiha. Like Hinata his whole family had been murdered by his own brother. His brother had gone into hiding and Sasuke had decided that he was going to track him down no matter what.

The last person at the table was Konohamaru Sarutobi. He was younger than them. All of the earlier mentioned people were 15 or 16 while he was merely 12. He used to live with his grand father Hiruzen Sarutobi until he died three years ago. After words he lived with his uncle Asuma Sarutobi for a while. Until he died in a car crash only months before. Konohamaru still had family but they didn't live near here. So instead of moving the family had agreed to Konohamaru staying at Oyasuminasai.

Everyone was enjoying their breakfast even though sitting at one table with 12 people was pretty loud. They were used to it and everyone actually learned to enjoy the buzz that always seemed to be in the house. The last person to arrive at the breakfast table was Naruto Uzumaki, who had overslept.

"So you finally made it Dobe?"

"Shut up Teme! I just overslept!"

Naruto Uzumaki had been left somewhere when he was just a baby and ever since Iruka had taken care of him. This made him the first inhabitant and starting of Oyasuminasai.

Iruka sighed. "Naruto just quickly eat some breakfast so we can discuss the vacation. As you all know today is the first day of your one week vacation."

Of course everyone knew this but the news was still received with a lot of cheering.

"Okay, okay I get it. So tell me Sakura what are you going to do?"

"My taxi comes in an hour. I'll be back in five days."

Iruka noted it. "Okay what about you Ino?"

"I need to catch the bus in a half hour and I'll be staying there for the weekend. So I'll be back Monday morning."

"Okay. Shikamaru?"

"I'll take a train in two hours. I'll be back the day before school. Don't know when exactly though. I'll call you when I know."

"Alright…Chouji?"

"My parents are going to be for three days in Sweden tomorrow. I have a plain at four."

"You're going to Sweden?!" Ino yelled. "You're so lucky."

"What about you Lee?"

"I'm going to stay with Guy-sensei for a week! To intensify my youthful training!"

"Tenten?"

"Yeah I'll also be away for the whole week."

"Shino?"

"I'm going to stay with my parents. They'll be here soon to pick me up."

"And you Kiba?"

"I'm going to hang out at my grandparent's for a while. I probably will be back Wednesday or Thursday."

"Okay that's everyone. So Chouji, Naruto, Sasuke, Konohamaru and Hinata are still going to here tonight. That's good. Listen I'm not going to be here tonight. So you'll guys will just have to order pizza or something."

"Or Hinata can cook something!" Naruto said enthusiastically. "Can you make ramen tonight Hinata?"

The girl nodded.

"Yes!" He and Chouji cheered.

STLSTLSTLSTLSTLSTLSTLSTLSTL

Naruto, Sasuke, Chouji, Hinata and Konohamaru sat down on the couches in the living area.

"It's going to be so boring with everyone gone." Konohamaru sighed. "Can I come with you Chouji?"

The boy chuckled.

"Even Sakura-chan left." Naruto whined. "It's always just the four of us left here."

Chouji thought it was actually pretty weird. They all had no family left and still they complained about having to spend their vacation in Oyasuminasai. While that should be the very least of there problems.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

The day went by slowly. Naruto, Chouji and Konohamaru had been playing basketball in the back yard. They didn't know what Sasuke had been doing because he hadn't come out of his room. Hinata had been reading a book outside and, secretly, had been admiring Naruto. Hinata had been in love with him for… well she didn't really know how long. It was just a couple of years ago that she found out she liked him as more then a friend but she was pretty sure she loved him before she realized she did. Of course she couldn't know when it started. It just grew.

Later on they were all in the basement. It was decorated with couches and a pool-table. They had played a short game of pool. Chouji and Naruto had lost. Konohamaru had already gone to bed. It came to a tie between Hinata and Sasuke.

Naruto thought Hinata probably would've won but he guessed they would play another time. When he had told Hinata how awesome she played she fainted. This was the sign that the game was over.

He wondered why he had never seen Hinata play pool before. They hung out in the basement a lot. They pooled almost every night. If they weren't they were just watching TV in the living room. But now he thought about it. Hinata was shy. She probably wasn't comfortable when everyone was here.

"Naruto you Dobe!" Sasuke scoffed.

"I didn't mean to!" He said trying to see if she was alright.

"She'll probably be alright if she gets some rest. I think I'm going to bed myself. It's kind of late."

"Yeah Dobe bring Hinata to bed I'm going to sleep too."

Naruto nodded and carefully picked the girl up and they all went upstairs. He had some trouble with opening the door with her in his arms but Chouji gave him a hand. He looked around in the room. There were two beds. One was probably from Tenten and the other from Hinata. It took him only a couple of seconds to remember which one was hers. 'They have a nice room. I wonder why we never hang out here. We hang out a lot in mine and Sasuke's room or in Ino's and Sakura-chan's.'
