Chapter One: Hinata's news

"Look at her go!"

"Hiashi's daughter! The stuttering one!"

"The one that wavered a fight against him!"

"Yes! Hinata is her name, I do believe!"

"Didn't she lose her battle in the Chunine exams? The prelims?"

"Yes, I heard it was against her cousin, Neji Hyuuga."

Hinata sighed heavily as she walked through the streets of Konoha. She could hear every whispering voice, though all together, they seemed to be screaming at her. Even if they did speak the truth, sometimes she couldn't bear it. Hinata did stutter. Hinata did to Neji. And Hinata did waver a battle against her father. Hinata had to admit, she didn't even know why she wavered a battle against her father. Well, she knew why she wanted to, to regain social status and honor of her title. But she wasn't sure why she had done it now, of all times.

A newly turned Genin like her was hardly in the condition or of level to fight someone like Hiashi. Hinata wasn't sure what she would do, or what would happen if she lost. Not only would she be publicly humiliated, but there were specific Hyuuga rules and consequences for something like this. Hinata's mind raced from all the thoughts, each one stressing her more. "Hey, Hinata!" A voice from behind her caused Hinata to turn around.

A group of laughing girls ran to her, each of them hugging her. First TenTen, then Sakura, then Temari. Hinata laughed and hugged them back. "H-hey! W-hat are y-you all d-doing here?" Hinata asked them.

"Well, I was going to go shopping, but on the way I saw Temari, who's in town on nin business, and she was with TenTen who told me that Neji told her that you wavered a battle against Hiashi! So we came to find you!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Did you seriously waver a battle, Hinata?" TenTen asked, concern in her eyes.

"Y-yes." Hinata replied, a befallen look on her face.

"You can do it, don't worry about it. You're fierce, I know it." Temari assured her friend.

Hinata sighed again. "I-I'm not sure w-what I'm g-going to d-do."

"You could Neji to train you! He knows everything about Hiashi's moves and techniques!" TenTen suggested joyfully.

"I-I thought that t-to, but Nis-san told m-me that's e-exactly what f-father is e-expecting." Hinata answered.

The girls sighed in unison. "B-but anyways, I, I have a d-dinner tonight. A-and I s-still need t-to prepare, b-but I w-want to g-go see K-Kiba-Kun and S-Shino-Kun before t-tonight." Hinata spoke, starting to move away from the girls.

"Okay then, Bye Hinata! Have fun! We'll see you soon, I promise!" Sakura hugged her again.

"Yeah, see ya Hinata! Tell Neji I said hi!" TenTen grinned.

Temari nudged her arm. "You'll figure something out, and if you don't, give me yell. I'm positive Gaara would care to give you some techniques, and I'm sure I can frighten something out of everyone else in this village." Temari gave a quick smile and followed the rest of the girls.

Hinata waved good-bye and began to her team's training grounds. Shino and Kiba both were there, Kiba sitting on a branch with Akamaru under his hood and Shino leaning against a tree. "Hey, Hinata!" Kiba cried out, grinning when he saw her.

Akamaru jumped from Kiba and ran to Hinata, jumping into her arms and licking her face happily. "H-hello, Kiba-kun! A-akarmu!" She spoke, laughing as she walked towards them.

"I heard the news." Shino said forwardly and bluntly.

"O-oh? You d-did. T-the battle?" Hinata said, crestfallen once again.

"What news? What battle?" Kiba asked, confused.

"Hinata has wavered a battle against her father." Shino said.

"Is that true Hinata?" Kiba said, looked at her.

"Y-yes, it is t-true." Hinata replied.

Kiba jumped down and hugged her. "I'm not sure whether to be happen or nervous for you, but either way, me and Shino will help any way we can!"

Hinata blushed and smiled at the same time. "T-thank you, K-Kiba." Hinata answered before pulling away.

"We'll see you later, Hina!" Kiba yelled after her.

"Have a nice evening at your dinner, Hinata-Chan." Shino said.

"She had a dinner tonight? Shino you don't tell me anything!"

"You merely do not listen, nor pay attention!"

"Do too!"

"I'm not arguing with you, Kiba."

Hinata giggled and began to walk home. She was glad her friends were so willing to help.
