Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, nor the Naruto characters.

On my profile I'll be posting the outfits Hinata and the other main character's are wearing. So be sure to look. So lets get on with this story.
Chapter One
The memory was still fresh in her mind. She unconciously clutched the silver necklace in her hand. A slight weak smile swam on to her lips as she gently closed her eyes remembering the event that took place last night at the Hyuuga lake that laid behind her family's house.
Fog covered the whole area as Hinata stood at the lake's edge. The village townsfolk heard of the news.The Royal Army were victorious, but Naruto was badly injured. The knights said he sacrificed his heart to the monterous snake they called Orochimaru, but before he gave it to the serphent from hell itself he pumped his chakara into his heart until his heart looked as if it would explode at the lightest touch. The foolish snake of course took the heart, and swallowed it, but soon died from the massive chakara the Prince given to him. Even though the Prince is without a heart he's still alive, but that could be due to the Kyuubi that lays dormint in his very body. Maybe he gave Prince half of his heart.
Hinata's brows furrowed as she stood in deep thought. 'I wish I could help Prince Naruto…I'll give anything in order to help him.' She sighed loudly as her short hair danced in the slight breeze. Removing some of her hair she felt someone…No somethings' prescense. "W-Whose there?"
"You wish to help the lovely Prince. I could make that wish come true. All you need is to give me something, and that wish could be yours." A lady's voice softly whispered. Hinata's eyes slightly widen as she looked around. Had she said those things out loud? Hinata was sure she didn't.
"I-I shall ask you one time w-who are you?" Paper like butterflies fluttered from every direction as they gathered in the same spot to conjoin together to form the most gorgeous woman ever. The lady had light purple hair, and a white lily sat on the left side of her head. Under he bottom lip a piercing could be scene.
"They call me Konan, and no you didn't talk out loud." She said with a smirk. Hinata took a step back and almost fell into the freezing water of the lake. "Young child don't be afraid. I shall not cause harm to a single hair on your body." The woman named Konan corked a brow as she saw Hinata's expression. "I am only here, but to help you," She lightly hummed as she placed a finger upon her lips. "Of course myself as well." Konan added with a sheepish grin. A slight gulping sound emitted from the direction Hinata was. Konan cleared her throat as she moved a strand of hair from her gorgeous face. "Do you want to help the lovely Prince?" She smiled as she received a weak nod from Hinata.
Slowly Konan snapped her fingers a necklace was hovering in front of Hinata's face. It was a silver-heart shaped necklace that had two wings spourting from the sides, in the middle of the heart a crystal blue diamond could be seen. "With this you'll be able to restore the Prince's heart," Hinata's face brighten as she reached for the necklace. "but if you over use the power of the necklace your heart shall belong to me, and I shall advise you not to say how you feel to the Prince, because you will fade from existance…" Konan turned on her heels, and started to walk off.
"B-But what will happen i-if I don't use it?!"
"He'll remain without a heart, of course." The woman replied as she didn't even stop.
"Is there a-another way?!"
"No…Didn't you say you'll give anything to help the Prince?" With that the woman vanished into the fog. Leaving Hinata along with the silver necklace that still floated in her face. 'I did say that…' Hesistantly Hinata grabbed the necklace and ran home.
Hinata sighed as she gazed down at the necklace she wore around her necklace. 'Will I truly have the nerve to use this?...' Sitting up she went to get cleaned, and dressed. Once she was finished she headed downstairs for breakfast.
"Congradulations!" Her family screamed when she made it to the last step. Hinata clutched her chest despretly trying to catch her breath. 'Are these people mad?!' "Awe. Nee-Chan don't be like that?!" Her little sister Hanabi whined as she clutched Hinata's lavender sundress. "You're leaving to attend that stuck up college by the castle!"
"Hana-Chan you're acting like we won't see each other again. You know father usually goes up to the castle for offical business since we're one of the Noble Clans in the Fire Country. So when he goes you can come visit me at school. Okay?" She received a nod and a tight hug from her sister before she moved so the others could talk to her.
Her father was next. This was actually the first time she have seen him smile since she was little. "Hinata," He said with a little hint of emotion. "I know I haven't been a good father, but I just want you to know that I am proud of you and always was proud of you." With that he and Hanabi went into the kitchen to fetch themselves something to eat. "Oh Neji said he'll be waiting by the school gates for your arrival."
"Hai." Breakfast was quiet as usual, but when they finished anyone could tell that they didn't want the young Hyuuga Heiress to leave. Hanabi clung to her sister's waist as she was nearly in tears. Haishi pryed his youngest daughter away from Hinata, and gave her enough time to make it to her carriage. Hinata waved good-bye to her family as the carriage pulled off. She giggled when she heard Hanabi scream. "That was a dirty move Nee-Chan!"
Neji paced back and forth as he waited for his little cousin to arrive. 'Che. Where is she? It only takes thirty minutes to get from the Hyuuga mansion to the toll bridge, and from their it takes five to get to the main street, and from their it only takes two minutes to get to the school! She's half a minute late!' He growled as he checked his watch again to confirm what she just thought.
"Neji-Nii-San!" A meek voice called to he from a crowd of people that were marching through the gates. "Help!" She cried as she was trapped in the swarm of people. "Neji-Nii-San help!" She cried again as she got further and further away from the young Hyuuga prodigy. Before he could make a move a black blurr dashed in front of him, and jumped in the air. He landed by Hinata's side, and jumped to the other side of the raging crowd. Hinata put her hands on her knees as she breathed heavily. "T-Thank y-you so very much? I-I thought I was a goner. I-Is there anything I can do to repay you for your help?" She said as she finally stood up.
"Heh. Don't worry about it. It was nothing. " The brown-haired boy smirked as he leaned forward, and grin. "But a kiss from the young damsel would be welcomed." Hinata slightly pouted her lips in deep thought. She eyed him while he wasn't paying attention. 'I guess I could do that…I mean he did me…Nii-San isn't around so he won't get mad, and on the plus side he is kinda cute. Okay it's settled.' Hinata slightly cleared her throat, gaining his attention.
"I. Hyuuga Hinata from the noble Hyuuga family of the far north shall grant your request of a kiss for your assistance in helping me." The boy in front of her gulped. 'I-I'm about to be kissed by a noble?! An I thought today was gonna be boring…Oh shit… Did she say ?! Please tell me she didn't. Please tell me she isn't related to Neji.' As Hinata neared his face he gulped, and looked at her. She was just about to kiss him when someone picked the boy up by his collar.
"Inuzuka Kiba," A very fimliar voice growled. "What are you doing with my cousin?"
"Nii-San don't hurt him!" Hinata pleaed as she tugged on his shirt sleeve. "H-He was the one that saved me from the crowd. So p-please don't!" Hinata said in a slight whisper. Neji rolled his eyes as he released Kiba. The boy smiled at Hinata.
"Thanks Hina-Sama I thought I was a goner." He said sheepishly. With a sigh Neji placed a hand on his forehead as he looked at Kiba.
"Aren't you suppose to be guardling something?"
"Damnit!" He hissed as he started running across the courtyard to the main castle. Hinata tilted her head as she thought to herself. 'What's so important that it nee—' She stopped thinking when she noticed he was in armor. 'Epp! Maybe he was suppose to be guardling the Prince!' She now felt guilty, because she took one of Prince Naruto's guards away, because she was in trouble.
"Come Hina-San we must hurry, and set up your things in your dorm." He said as he guided Hinata to the dorms.
"Naruto" A pink-haired girl purred as she sat on the Prince's lap. "Do you love me?" She asked while a smug smirk laid on her lips. Her fingers twirled his golden locks around and around as she nuzzled her face in his chest.
"Yes." He said as his eyes were transfixed on the door as if he was in some far off daze. If anyone looked in his eyes they would see nothing, but their reflection. His eyes held no joy, sorrow, anger, nor love in them.
"How much do you love me?" The girl asked while her eyelids lowered.
"How much do you want me to love?" Within a flash of an eye the girl slapped him out of pure rage. The Prince did not respond, but only lowered his eyes.
"Sakura what do you think you're doing?" A stern voice asked from the doorway. Right before her eyes stood the raven-haired knight also known as the Prince's Best Friend. He glared daggers at the pink-haired girl who only glared back. "I think it's time you left." He said as he made sure she left. When Sakura was out of the room he slowly made his way over to Prince Naruto. "Prince Dobe, are you okay?" He asked.
"Sasuke, I don't know. Was I suppose to feel something?" The Prince asked while he solmnly looked at his childhood friend. Sasuke helped Naruto get up from his thrown, and walked him to his bed chambers. 'No Naruto you weren't suppose to feel nothing…An I'll make sure of it…'
By the time Neji and Hinata was done night had already fallen. Hinata yawned and stretched as she finally put her last clothing article in her dresser drawer. She turned around to give her stoic cousin a warm smile. "Thanks Nii-San. You can go to your dorm room now."
"Nonscense I'm not even—" Neji let out a yawn. "Tired yet." Hinata corked a brow at her cousin. "Fine. Just remember to lock up after I leave." He said as he left her room.
"Night Neji." She whispered as she locked her doors. Hinata changed into her silk white night gown, and once Hinata laid her head on her pillow she was over taken by sleep, but around mid-night a strange voice came to her ears.
"I'm so lonely…So very lonely…Why don't I have anyone…Why am I alone…"
"Who would be up at a time like this?" Hinata slipped on her slippers, and got a candle. When she entered the hallway the voice became slightly louder. The depth of emotion that was in this person's voice made tears want to graze her rosey cheeks. "I'm so cold, and lonely….Why am I so cold…." The voice sobs became louder, and clearer. It lead the young heroin to the staircase leading down. 'I thought this school only had four levels…' Hinata thought as she gulped, and started to walk down the stair case.
Once she reached the bottom floor she had to wipe her eyes franticlly. "Okay…There's a courtyard beneath my dorm…" She said as she looked around. Hinata froze when she saw a blue-ish looking boy sitting by a water fountain with his hands cradling his face.
"I don't want to be alone anymore…..Why am I alone, and cold…Why doesn't no one want me?" The boy sobbed once again. Hinata trembled as she watched the boy sulking by the fountain.
"Aren't you going to help your beloved Prince, or watch the poor soul suffer?" A familiar voice asked. Hinata turned around with a bewieldered expression. "Take a good look at the boy." Konan coo'ed softly. She turned Hinata so she could get a fairly good look at him.
"P-Prince Naru-to!" Hinata epped. "W-Why is he down here below my dorm?"
"That's not Naruto himself, but a fragment of his heart. Just by listening to him I shall say that he's the lonelyness that dwells in our lovely Prince's heart." Konan put her lips to Hinata's ear. "Are you going to restore it to him?" She asked sweetly. She smiled when she felt Hinata tense at her words, and gave a very audible gulp.
'If I use the necklace to much then I won't have a heart anymore, and if I tell Prince Naruto my true feelings then I'll fade away! What do I do?!' She sobbed to herself mentally. 'What should I do mother?!' Hinata's eyes were shut so tightly that her tears were held prisoner. As if shut by lighting she came to her conclusion. 'If I don't do it…Then the Land of Fire would be without a king in the future…That would lead to wars, pointless battles, and people will die from something I could prevent! I'm not just doing this for Prince Naruto, but for the Land of Fire as well.'
"Konan-Sama what must I need to do?" Konan smiled as she moved a strand of hair from her face.
"Just hold the necklace in your hands, and say 'Anrokku'. " Konan said as she turned into paper. Soon the paper then folded into origami butterflies, and fluttered off. Hinata turned around so she was facing the fragment of the Prince's heart. He obviously didn't notice her prescense. Hinata slightly exhaled as she wrapped her trembling hands around the necklace. 'I shall restore your heart prince Naruto!' She yelled to herself mentally. "Anrokku!"
A blinding twirled around her body as her clothes were shredded. Her whole body glowed with the white light. Soon a white and light blue dress appeared. Sleeves slid on to her arms, and a silk lace gently wrapped around her neck. The crystal blue diamond rested in the middle of her collar. Her raven-hair grew long and wraped into a bun with two tassles drapping her face. A long silver Rapier sword with a wired hilt laid in her hands. Once her transformation was finished Hinata clutched her sword's hilt and turned it sideways and shuted "Soushitsu!" Her Rapier sword vanished. She didn't know how she knew to make her sword disappear, but she just did.
"Huh? W-Whose there?" Lonely asked as he stood up. The look the fragment wore made Hinata's eyelids lower and a warm smile graze her lips. Sorrow took a few steps back.
"No, please stay…"
"W-Who are you?" He asked once again.
"I'm—" Hinata thought for a minute. 'I can't use my real name! Ugh—Ugh—Think fast just say something!' "I'm Siyuki-Hime." She said as she gave a curtsy as a show of respect. "I'm very please to meet you."
"My name is Lonely…Did are you here so I won't be alone anymore….I don't want to be alone anymore…"
"You don't have to be alone ever again!" Hinata chimed. She held out her hand, and kept her warm smile on. "You can come with me, and be with other people that cares about you!" Lonely stretched out his hand, and walked towards Hinata.
"I'll never be lonely again…" Once his hand intwined with Hinata's he turned into a jagged piece of ruby. "Thank you Siyuki-Hime…" Hinata smiled as she ran up the stairs. Her breaths were short as she ran towards the Prince's main room. Was it Lonely that was telling her where to go, but she didn't care. She needed to hurry quickly before she gets caught by the Royal Knight Guards. Peeking around corners, and dashing down the main castle hallways. It was as if she was some common spy. It sent her a rush she never felt. Her smile brighten as Lonely told her she made it to the Prince's room.
Her heart was thumping madly against her chest. If it would of thumped any harder then it would of burst through her chest. The door wasn't even open all the way, a creek to look through wasn't even made, but a voice came from the room which startled her. "Whose there?" It was the voice of Lonely, but his voice was empty it held no emotion in it. When she stepped into the room she came face-to-face with the Prince who was only wearing a pair of boxers. "Why are you here? Does Sasuke know you're here?" Hinata blinked a couple of times. 'Whose Sasuke?' She shook her head, and regained her posture.
"I'm Siyuki-Hime. I'm here to help you gather your fragments of your heart." Siyuki said as she held out Lonely.
"My heart?" The Prince asked in a dull voice.
"Yes." Siyuki said.
"Sakura said I don't need a heart. She said she'll feel for the both of us." Prince Naruto said as he turned his gaze to look outside the window. The light from the moon dance upon him. Siyuki walked up to him cautously.
"But—" She hesitated for a moment as she clutched the ruby which was Lonely. "Don't you want a heart of your own?" Naruto turned to look at her.
"I don't know…Am I suppose to?"
Siyuki was quite taken aback by this. She closed her eyes and held out the ruby. "With a heart you can feel things that you chose to feel…" Siyuki open her eyes when she felt the Prince's hands on top of hers. "Prince Naruto?"
"I—Think I want one." Siyuki smiled as she pressed the ruby on the spot where his heart is suppose to be. The crimson stone was absored into his body. The minute it went in Naruto grunted in pain, and clutched his chest. "What is this I feel?" Hinata smiled at him.
"It's the feeling of having a heart." Siyuki could hear rabid footsteps coming towards the room. She open the Prince's window, and squated down on the windowsill. "Until next time my Prince." Siyuki sweetly said as she lept out the window. When she lept the lace which was wrapped securely around her neck came loose, and landed on the Prince's floor. The Prince sighed deeply once he couldn't see Siyuki-Hime no more.
The door burst open with a glaring Sasuke scanning the room. "Naruto was someone here?" He asked in a demanding tone. His childhood friend didn't ask, but kept gazing out of the window. Sasuke's glare deepen dramaticlly as he marched across the room, and tightly gripped Naruto's chin and forced him to look him in the eyes. "What's going on. You're acting stranger than usual…" Sasuke raised his eyebrows a little. Did he just see some kind of emotion in Naruto's eyes? No. He couldn't have. Or could he?
"It's that," Naruto's eyes shifted out the window as his eyelids lowered. "Ever since she left I've felt lonely..." Sasuke released Naruto's arm as he went into deep thought. 'The dobe isn't suppose to feel anything…He has no heart…What could of happen…and what does he mean by ….' Naruto's eyes then lowered to the floor as he saw the silk lace that she left behind. "I should return that to her…" He said dully.
Sasuke's eyes drifted towards the spot Naruto was looking. His brows scrunched up as he synthesized it as belonging to a girl. He had a failry great idea who it was too. Only one girl would be so sick in the head to come to the Prince's chambers in the middle of the night. 'Haruno Sakura…Princess or not I shall put her in her place when dealing with Naruto…' He picked up the silky lace, and stormed down the hallway.
Hinata made it to her room, and once she was inside she clutched the blue diamond in her hands, and muttered. "Hanasu…" The fabic disappeared leaving her to be exposed. Hinata's eyes widen as she clutched her body in embarrassment. She quickly put on a new night gown and sighed. 'I might run out of clothes rather fast, but I believe this is much more worth it than some silly clothes…Yes it is…Isn't it mother…' Hinata smiled as she walked to her window, and smiled at the stary sky.
