Author's Notes: My inspiration for this fic? It's 'Stalker Hinata' by goukoong on deviantart. Just take a look at the story cover and that will be it.

Disclaimer: The plot is the only thing I own. Naruto characters and the cover photo not mine, thank you very much.

Hinata stared at the huge box in front of her. Then at the grinning trio who brought the suspicious looking box.

"..."

Sakura huffed and finally put the box down.

"Oh come on, Hinata-chan! The least you can say is a little 'Thank You', y'know."

"..."

Ino rolled her eyes and walked towards the female Hyuuga who stiffened at the gorgeous blonde's hands which were now placed on Hinata's shoulders.

"Trust us, Hina-chan. After all the trouble we went through just to convince Kankorou to personally do the present, you can't just stare at it as if it's something that would blow up any second."

"K-kankuro-san?"

"Yep. That pervert sand nin. So you better accept our present with your whole heart. My humiliation cannot just go to waste..." Tenten trailed off and shuddered at the memory of how Ino invaded her body to seduce the puppeteer and make him do what they want.

"B-but th-there's no o-occasion f-for you t-to t-tr-trouble yourselves f-for a g-gift..."

"Who said gifts are for special occasions only?"

"B-but-!"

"Uh-uh! No more 'but's missy."

"That's right! Now let's move this thing to your room already so you can open it."

"O-oh! But-!"

"Tsk, tsk. I said no more 'but's!"

Hinata flinched, "O-okay..."

oooooooooooo

Now it's Ino, Sakura and Tenten's turn to gape and stare. But with no grinning Hinata. Just an utterly flushed and embarrassed Hinata.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"A-ano..."

"Wow." Ino was the first to recover with a teasing smirk at the Hyuuga heiresss.

"This... this is..." Sakura's still wide-eyed and awed at the... the thing in front of her. '...perhaps an altar...?'

"..." Tenten stared and stared, wondering if Lee has the same worship corner in his place. 'Yes... yes... posssibly...'

"P-please... please d-don't tell a-any... anyone abo-about th-this." Poor, scarlet Hinata pleaded.

Ino just continued to smirk. Sakura smiled. And Tenten nodded. Well, they're not going to tell one blonde knucklehead ninja that the respectable Hyuuga heiress dedicated a corner in her room for stolen pictures of him.

Pictures of Naruto training, walking, eating, sleeping, yelling, smiling, hopping from tree to tree, and every imaginable - or unimaginable - pictures of Naruto was posted on a corner in Hinata's room. Oh, so there was a reason why no one has seen Hinata's room, after all. Even the maids are not allowed to clean the room because Hinata insisted she can do it herself.

Why, deep dark secrets are so much fun to unravel.

"So I guess our present fits your altar after all..." Ino commented.

"Uhhh... wh-what exacty i-is inside th-that b-box?"

"Why don't you open it, then?" Sakura urged.

"And I suggest you stand by the bed, just in case you faint," Tenten said, sending telepathic signals to the other two as they giggled.

'F-faint?!'

Hinata took a final look at the three before deciding that the trio would not really do anything to harm her. And so, she slowly went unsealing the box. And as dear Tenten predicted, as soon as she had a good look of what was inside, Hinata fainted.

"Heh."

"Wake her up!"

"Nah. Let's set up this Naru-doll first."

oooooooooooo

Dear Hinata just had a weird dream.

A dream where she was bombarded by three kunoichis carrying a big box they claim to be a present for her. They even went to her room and found out about her 'Naruto-kun's Corner'. And when she opened the present they offered her, inside was a life-size Naruto doll curled up in a fetus position. And then anything that happened after that, she cannot recall.

"Oh, I think she's awake."

'Oh, God... please tell me this is another dream...'

"Well, forehead, she's not yet opening her eyes."

'Please... no...'

"Hey, Ino, her breathing pattern has changed. It's either she's awake already or she's having a nightmare."

'Yes, yes please... Let this be just a nightmare...'

And slowly, oh, so painfully slowly, she opened her eyes.

Only to find out that no, she was definitely not having a nightmare. And that the dream she thought she had just dreamed, had actually happened.

How did she conclude that?

Well, for one, the three kunoichis in her dream, which was actually not, are in her room. All smiling at her.

Two, there is the big box at the foot of her bed.

And lastly, there, in her Naruto-kun's Corner, was the Naruto doll. Grinning. Right. Back. At. Her.

"So..." Ino started, moving around the bed so she could sit beside Hinata.

"How's it, Hinata-chan?" Sakura continued the sentence, also going to her side. Following closely is Tenten, with arms crossed and a grin.

"How'd you like your present?"

"..."

"Oh, come on! Tell us how pleased you are!"

"..."

"Well?"

"..."

"Hey, hey, Hinata. Don't you dare faint on us again!"

"..."

The three girls sighed and looked at each other. Tenten nodded, signaling for 'Operation: Make Hinata Accept the Doll' to commence. Her sacrifices cannot go to waste. This must work. It's for the girl's sake, after all.

Sakura did the first move, slowly rising from her seat near Hinata's headboard with eyes downcast.

"I guess... I guess we should just leave, girls..."

Hinata snapped her head up, widening her eyes at the sad undertone on Sakura's voice. Then, without giving her time to recover, Ino made her move next.

"Yeah. You're right, forehead. We're not such good friends... making Hina-chan accept such a ridiculous gift..."

The byakugan user bowed her head down in shame. Actually, she was rather excited about the gift and found it perfect for that corner of her room.

"N-no... it's not l-like that. Please-"

"No, Hinata," Tenten interrupted, making the final move, "it's alright. We... we understand..." and finishing it off with a sad smile to the wide-eyed Hyuuga at the bed.

"..."

Hinata can't believe it. She made someone upset! No, no, no... she made three people upset! And to top it all, those three were her closest friends. Some of those few people who acknowledged her for who she is and embraced everything about her, stuttering and all. She cannot afford to lose these people. No, she can't. Besides, it's not like she didn't appreciate their gift. She's just totally speechless about it. But her friends...

"I accept it!"

'Checkmate.' And the ecstatic trio shared a smirk.

oooooooooooo

"D-dual p-pu-purpose, you s-say...?"

"Yep!" and a grin. Hmmm... these girls grin a lot, huh?

"You see, it blends pretty well with this corner so you can have it as a decoration. That's one purpose. But that one came up just today since we were not aware of the existence of this altar." Ino explained as Hinata blushed at the mention of her 'altar'.

"A-and the original p-purpose...?"

"The original purpose," Tenten started, "is for you to use that Naru-doll as a training dummy!"

'T-training d-dum-dummy?!'

Do these girls really expect her to beat a Naruto-faced training dummy to a pulp?

Seeing the girl's surprised and confused expression, Sakura further explained.

"Well, almost everyone in Konoha is aware of your feelings for Naruto," at this, Hinata went beet red, "except Naruto himself. That idiot is so clueless that if we wait for him to make the first move, everyone might be already married and have their own family. So, we decided to help you with your love and assist you in dropping hints."

"But seeing that you can't even have a proper conversation with him without stuttering and fainting," Tenten continued, "we had this brilliant idea to train you to act normal in front of him in the form of this doll."

"...Oh..."

She was touched. Hinata's really touched. Her friends really love her that they would help her pursue her happiness. And she smiled at the thought that after this 'training', she would be able to talk properly with Naruto-kun without making herself a fainting mess.

"So, what do you say?" Ino asked, smiling.

"T-thank you," Hinata said, really meaning it, "So... when d-do I s-start?"

The trio high-fived.

And so, Hinata's training commenced. Starting with 'Touch the Naru-doll All Over' lesson.

The lesson is very simple, really. All Ino instructed Hinata to do was "Go, hug the doll, Hina-chan!" and "Now, hug it from behind." and "Can you stare at it's eyes for thirty seconds?" and "Shake hands with it!" and "Hey, I know! Sit on it's lap!" and so on and so forth. Well, pretty easy, right? It's just a doll after all. And that's what Hinata kept telling herself while doing the tasks. If only Kankurou-san didn't make it too realistic...

Oh well.

A/N: So, how do you think would the 'training' go? This is supposed to be a oneshot but I've decided to split it in two even though the whole story is not that long. Just wanna see how many people this one will interest.

'Till the next chapter!

Reviews are appreciated. I wanna know your thoughts. Did it suck? Was it good? Lemme know!
