Hi everybody! This is my second story, and this was kind of inspired by K-pop (variety shows and all that). This story was metaphorically sitting in the back of my computer closet for years. After all the support from my first story, I decided to upload this one. Enjoy! :D

'Hyuuga Hinata in love with Uzumaki Naruto!
The famous heir of Hyuuga Corps. and idol singer, Hyuuga Hinata has confirmed what we all suspected last week. She indeed had a crush on the one and only Uzumaki Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto, a member of Konoha Shinobi, a famous idol group, is Konoha Shinobi's comedian, and one of the more popular members, due to his charming and friendly personality.
Hyuuga Hinata is known as the dark beauty of Japan. The once dubbed "Dark Angel" was shy and blushing wildly when she admitted her ideal man, Uzumaki Naruto. Unlike her confident self on stage, she was innocent and adorably shy. It turns out that she had attended the same middle school and spent part of her high school years with him. She confessed she was a stuttering mess around him, but she has long outgrown that. While we couldn't imagine that, she assured us it was true. When we asked the unique beauty what she liked about him, she replied,
"He was such a kind person during the school years I spent with him. His charisma and optimism inspired me. Whenever I was down, I just thought of him, and how he would never give up. He may not know it, but he helped me through tough times. I guess admiration turned to like... I am glad to get this off my chest though. It sounds a bit odd, huh? *laughs* "
Following that, we had a compatibility test with the kind of personality she fits best with. And the personality was one of Uzumaki Naruto's! Should we look forward to a possible relationship? Let's hope so! '
Hyuuga Hinata sighed and leaned back in her plush leather sofa. She hugged a sofa cushion while screaming into one. She was blushing crazily.
She clicked her remote and the TV switched on. Konoha Shinobi (which included Uzumaki Naruto, of course) was on, in a celebrity variety show.
Hinata smiled faintly, but soon her interest peaked. She was mentioned!
"Naruto-kun, did you see the news about Hyuuga Hinata?"
"Eh? What do you mean?" Hinata held her breath.
"Do you read newspapers, Naruto-kun?" Hinata, by now was gripping the plush armhold. Naruto looked around sheepishly, "No, not really". Everyone burst in laughter, even Hinata giggled.
"You can't do that, you're a celebrity, you have to see who's in trouble! It's mostly you, anyways.". Laughter erupts again.
"Anyway, there is a article about Hyuuga Hinata. Do you know who that is?" the MC asked.
"Of course! She must be Neji's relative, right?" Naruto answered brightly. Well, that's true... Hinata thought half-heartedly, disappointed he didn't reply classmate, at least.
"Do you know what she looks like? Or her profession?", another MC replied. "Um, I know she's rich...", said Naruto, who rubbed his head in embarrassment.
At this point, a member of Konoha Shinobi piped up. "Naruto! You idiot, she used to be our classmate, and she's my friend!", Kiba exclaimed in disbelief.
"Hey! I'm not an idiot! "
"Yeah, you are. I even still hang out with her." Kiba replied. Hinata, was at this point, on the verge of depression.
How could he not know me? I'm pretty sure we've talked to each other before. Am I that forgettable? Or am I just so ugly that he unconsciously forgot about me?
Her childhood insecurities was rushing back to her. She was getting dangerously close to needing a tub of ice cream right now.
"Well, since Konoha Shinobi hasn't heard of this year's juiciest news by far, we should tell them." the main MC said excitedly.
"Juiciest news?" Naruto asked confused. "Yes! It concerns Hyuuga Hinata and you, Naruto-kun" another MC replied.
Hinata's heart thumped loudly as she hugged the sofa cushion. She gulped and tried to refrain herself from closing the TV in fear or nervousness.
"Naruto-kun, have you ever received a love confession?"
"Well, yeah, from a lot of fans."
"Ok, clearly, that was the wrong question to ask."
"Just spit it out, the idiot won't understand otherwise." smirked Sasuke. "Hey!" an indignant Naruto replied.
"You may have a point. Okay, look up on the TV up there. Read the headline, Naruto!" Hinata held her breath, but switched to hyperventilating. Quickly, she grabbed a brown paper bag out of nowhere (She's been known to hyperventilate a few times).
"Hyuuga Hinata in love with Uzumaki Naruto?"read Naruto, incredulously. Hinata closed her eyes, but opened them quickly, wanting to see his reaction.
"Is, Is this a prank?" Naruto continued, "I mean, a Hyuuga in love with me? They're a pretty stoic kind of people"
The camera showed Neji looking at Naruto in annoyance for the smallest of seconds. To anyone else, they would've assumed Neji just looked at Naruto.
But being a Hyuuga, Hinata had learned how to catch the most miniscule reactions. " Hyuugas are experts in observation." she recited (her father's words) proudly in her head.
"Nope, and not just any Hyuuga, it's the heir of Hyuuga Corps! You don't get this type of news everyday!" a hyped MC replied.
"Really? I always did think it was odd how she acted when Naruto was around. Hehe, I see potential teasing information." Kiba said mischieviously.
Hinata was too scared of Naruto's reaction to care for Kiba's potential antics. She had her eyes glued on Naruto-kun, who looked a bit shocked. It was his first public love confession, afterall.
"But, I don't even know what she looks like..."Naruto sputtered out. "Don't worry about that..." an MC replied. Suddenly a video of Hinata, herself performing onstage was being shown.
Hinata groaned out loud. It was her most recent concert. Her hair was done in slight waves and was spilling gracefully out of her hoodie. Her cheeks were slightly red.
She was singing her new song, which was climbing the charts rapidly, something Hinata would never admit. The entire studio exclaimed in admiration as they listened to her soft vocals.
Her defined figure dancing to her song helped, of course. She was wearing sparkling high tops with black cloth covering her kneecaps (A/N: kinda like kneepads without the pads).
Her skirt was a tight, mid-thigh, neon blue one. On her right side was a dipped chain with a sequined letter H attached to it.
She wore a loose fitting purple hoodie over her silver glimmering tank top, which poked out at the top. On her neck, was a long necklace with a fire pendant. It dangled near her heart.
She wore dangling earrings that looked like a fox studded with cerulean sapphires. Suffice to say, that was a very uncomfortable and cold day for Hinata, due to her new style.
Ever since her company changed her stylist, she wore things she's never worn before. However, she had to admit, she looked pretty good.
At this moment, Hinata was pretty glad Yamanaka Ino was her stylist.
The MCs wowed in admiration and whistled at Hinata's dancing. Hinata was blushing and felt the urge to bury her head in a pillow, just for a little while.
Kiba was clapping along to her song with Akamaru at his side. Hinata smiled at his attempt to mimic her dance.
The camera turned to Hyuuga Neji, her cousin, who was sitting stoically while nodding with the beat. Nara Shikamaru was watching the video in a casual , lazy manner.
Uchiha Sasuke was also watching stoically, occasionally nodding with approval.
The camera went to a close up view of Naruto, who was a bit wide-eyed. Hinata could not take it anymore, she clicked the TV off. She leaned back on her sofa, utterly worried.
What if-what if-he still had that rumored crush on Haruno Sakura. She tried hating the famous doctor for three years at least, but to no avail.
She was afraid of being rejected, but she was tired of following his every move, so she just blurted it out when asked. Since then, she had been a complete mess.
Her company, at first, tried to prevent the newspaper from publishing, but then they realized it would bring no harm to Hinata.
When they told Hinata this, she was mortified (and a bit betrayed), but...now Naruto-kun can finally know her feelings.
Nevertheless, she was afraid, and frightened that she would be rejected. Although she tried to fight the waves of insecurity that almost drowned her, her attempt did not work.
