A/N This is only my second fanfic so please no flames. I really consider this to be my first because I gave up on my last one after 5 chapter cuz I only had a few people who reviewed. THANK YOU PPL WHO DID. I wouldn't be writing this now if it weren't for you. So here goes: Team 13: Dreamers. (I hate the title. Plz help once you get to the plot) And unfortunately, I don't own Naruto or any of the Characters.

'thoughts'

"Kyuubi Thoughts"

"Normal Dialog"

8-Year-Old Hinata wiped her nose as she walked through the gates of the village. She had never gotten to leave the village before. Even though she was just gathering herbs for her father, she was still excited. It was colder outside than she had expected but as always, she had her trademark white fur coat on to keep her warm. She had only taken about ten steps outside when she heard a soft whimpering. It was coming from the bushes on her left. She went to the bushes to look for the cause of the whimpering but no one was there. It was further away than she thought.

'I know I heard someone. It came from somewhere over here but father will be angry if I don't go back with the herbs soon. But… I can't just leave them here.' She put the basket for the herbs down by a tree and went to look for the source of the noise.

She followed the sound of the person crying until finally found them. There was a small boy with a black shirt and orange pants almost completely hidden under a root of a tree. He hadn't noticed her yet.

"Uhh, e-excuse me…"

The boy looked up at her, startled.

"Hi, m-my name is H-Hyuuga Hinata"

"Hi…"

"Whats your name?"

He wiped his eyes and looked up. "My name's Uzumaki Naruto. I'm gonna be Hokage someday!"

'It's like he was never crying' "Why were you crying just now? Are you hurt?"

"No, not…" He realized he couldn't lie to a face like her's. "Well… yes, but that's not the reason. I village just seems to hate me. I don't know why. I've never done anything to them. Its like they hate me just for existing. Every now and then, they come and hit me. I guess it makes them feel better." He showed her the cuts on his arms and back.

"That's horrible." She knelt down next to him and started to rub his back which only succeeded in making it hurt more.

"Ouch, that hurts! Why are you doing that?"

She quickly stopped realizing her mistake. "Oh, I'm sorry. It's just… that's what my mother used to do…" She trailed off.

"What's wrong?"

"My mother… is… dead."

"Oh." He looked down, not knowing what to say. He saw wet marks on the ground and thought it was starting to rain. But as he looked up, he saw where the rain was really coming from. Her eyes were closed and soaked with tears. He wanted to help. So, he did the first thing that came to mind. He engulfed her in a huge bear hug. "It's OK. My parents have been gone for a long time."

"When are they coming back?" she obviously didn't understand.

"They… aren't coming back." he answered somberly. They sat the for a moment comforting each other before a very loud and angry voice interrupted them.

"HINATA!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? Get away from that monster NOW!" Another boy about Naruto's age came running up to them with a basket in his hands. His eyes had no pupils and his hair was an off color white.

"Why? He's not bad. Actually, he needs help." They stood up. "Come on, Naruto, I'll fix you up at my house."

"Oh, no. That… thing… is NOT going in our house."

"He's not a thing. And I want to help him." The boy saw the determination in her eyes. "Fine, but I will have nothing to do with this." but he was a little late. Naruto and Hinata were already almost in the village before he could respond.

Sorry it was so short people. I usually start off short but it will be longer by like chap 3 or 4 so please bear with me. And I will have to take an idea from a fanfic I'm reading now. No update unless I get 5 reviews. Thanks to Riyuto-san!
