Prologue: The day it all started
My name is Hyuuga Hinata and this is the story of how I tamed the Kyuubi no Kitsune. It was not an easy feat let me tell you. I wasn't even planning on it. My intentions were clear, get my long time crush Uzumaki Naruto to notice me. What I got instead was a giant nine-tailed fox for a pet. Before I can go on and on about the Kyuubi let me start at the beginning. See it all started many years ago when I was still a student at the ninja academy.
My mother asked me to pour tea for my father and the visiting elders for their big important meeting. I was so nervous that I was shaking slightly. I tried to control my shaking but my father turned his glare on me and I completely overreacted. I started shaking so bad, trying not to do anything wrong in front of him that I ended up spilling the tea all over the floor. In my rush clean up my spill I ended up breaking a couple of tea cups. I was embarrassed and I knew my father was disappointed that I couldn't do something as simple as pouring tea without messing up.
I wondered how many times he wished my younger sister Hanabi would've been born first. Hanabi didn't get nervous at all. She was an excellent fighter and she seemed to do everything so perfectly. I bet she wouldn't have spilled the tea. Pushing that out of my head. my mother reminded me that I was going to be late for class.
In a rush I headed over to the academy knowing that I was going to get a stern lecture from my father later, or worse, he'd just look at me like I am the world's biggest disappointment.
Naturally I got to class late. There seemed to be something of a commotion going on in the corner of the room. It was nothing big, all of the other girls were fawning over Uchiha Sasuke. I honestly didn't see what the big deal was. He didn't show any attention to any of the girls fawning over him. It seemed like he wanted to be left alone. I walked past the mini harem and entered the classroom.
My favorite seat was open and I quickly went and sat down. Next to me Inuzuka Kiba was already snoring slightly with his tiny dog Akamaru on his head.
Iruka-sensei entered the class and it came to order.
It seemed like today was going to be a history lesson on the first and second Hokages. I tried to pay attention, I needed to know these things in order to be a great ninja in the future. However I was slightly distracted by the boy sitting in the opposite row, one column ahead of me. His name is Uzumaki Naruto, he had blonde pointy hair, and bright blue eyes. But the thing I liked most about him was his confidence. He never shied away from anything and always seemed to say what was on his mind, unlike me who could never get my words out straight.
Suddenly Naruto stood up and I turned away blushing, as if I hadn't been staring at him for the past ten minutes. "I am going to be Hokage one day, and I'll be even better than those old men!" Naruto exclaimed to the whole class.
I could barely imagine being the head of my clan let alone the head of the whole village. I seemed to be the only person who was impressed. The rest of the class laughed while Iruka-sensei folded his arms in anger. I knew he wasn't really angry, probably more annoyed. It didn't seem like a class went by where Naruto didn't declare he was going to become Hokage.
After class I stood to the side and watched as all of other students got picked up by their parents. Naruto seemed to be all alone. I wondered where his parents were, but before I could think on it too long my father showed up to escort me home.
I couldn't help but to think how sad Naruto looked all alone.
We were halfway back to the Hyuuga Clan barracks when suddenly Hoheto, appeared. He was a member of the branch family, and recently became a jonin.
"Hiashi-sama, there seems to be an emergency. Sandaime Hokage has asked for your presences."
Father turned to me "Go straight home, and make no deviations"
"Yes, father" I replied.
The two of them left and I steadily made my way home. On my way I literally ran into three boys. They didn't look that much older than me, but they didn't look nice either. They started bullying me because I'm the heiress to the Hyuuga clan. They thought I was looking down on them. It wasn't true at all, I just wasn't paying attention to where I was going. After they pushed me to the ground and made me beg to the point of tears I was sure they were going to beat me up. Suddenly there was a rumble and I looked up.
Naruto was there like my very own knight in shinny armor. If it were a fairy tale Naruto would've beat those guys up and then carried me away to safety. Unfortunately, he was out numbered. The bullies began to attack Naruto. I desperately wanted to do something.
Suddenly someone called my name. It was Hoheto. The bullies ran away just before Hoheto appeared.
"Are you okay?" Hoheto asked looking at my tears.
"I'm fine" I started to say but then he looked beyond me and his eyes went hard. Everyone seemed to look at Naruto this way. I didn't understand it, and when I tried to ask about it I was told I was too young.
"He saved me" I tried to explain but Hoheto grabbed my arm and began to walk away.
I wanted to thank Naruto but I didn't know how. That day a feeling irrupted in me and I knew that I would never be the same again.
