Pairings: Naruto X Hinata, and other pairings
Written By: Senshin Ultima
"Hey guys!" a young girl with pink hair yelled running down the school stairs. She wore a short sleeve dress shirt with a small blue plaid tie. She also wore a mandatory plaid skirt. Its color was also blue like her tie. "Whatsup?!"
"Just the usual, Sakura, of course." A young girl with two buns tied upon her brown hair replied hugging Sakura. She, too, wore the same uniform that Sakura wore, although her tie was much looser than Sakura's. It was clearly obvious that she detested wearing the uniform. "Hinata-chan fainted again trying to just enough courage to talk to Naruto."
"Really, gee, then why don't you just write a love letter?" A young girl with long brown hair asked. She was closing her locker and threw her backpack over her shoulder. She, as well, wore the same uniform that Sakura and the other brown haired girl, known as Tenten, worn. Although, a major difference in her uniform is that hers was wrinkled, a clear sign that she seemed to be in a rush earlier that day.
"That is if he would realize that he was reading a love letter… Naruto isn't the brightest when it comes to these things you know." A young girl with blonde hair replied as she, too, closed her locker and put her backpack behind her. She, too, had the same uniform as everyone else, but hers had accessories of all kinds attached to them. Another clear sign of what this girl was; a fashionist.
"Actually I don't think he's the brightest at anything…" The brown long haired girl, named Akiko, replied.
"T-T-that's not true…" A young girl with short violet hair said playing around with her fingers. She, like everyone else, had the uniform consisting of a short sleeve white dress shirt, a short plaid blue tie, and a plaid blue skirt. By this time, they had already left the school hallways and were outside. "Naruto-kun is good at a lot of things…!"
"Like what?" Tenten asked biting into her apple and starting to walk down the side walk. "Tell me, Hinata, I'm interested in what they are."
"Uhm… uhh…talking to people!" Hinata said thinking of more reasons, "He's good at sports I suppose… and at making friends…"
"Good at sports?" Sakura laughed, "Did you see him last class? He totally got his ass kicked by Sasuke, Now Sasuke; he's a man of many talents."
"That's soooo true!" Ino replied looking at a picture of him dreamily. Where she got that picture, no one knows.
"You guys are weird y'know that." Akiko replied rolling her eyes, "Y'know Sasuke will never talk to you he's too stuck up."
"Sooooo? Neji's stuck up and Tenten loves hiiiim!!" Ino said sticking her tounge out, and then turned her attention to the Sasuke photo again.
"Oh really? You like Neji?" Akiko asked.
"Uh… well… Maybe!" Tenten nervously said just before running ahead of the group in embarrassment.
That was basically the situation whenever the girls would hang out after school. Sakura Haruno was the brains of the group who had the best grades in her class since the 1st grade. Ino Yamanaka was the girly girl of the group, when she wasn't talking about fashion or gossiping, she'd would usually make a smug comment about someone else. Tenten, was the tomboy of the group and eldest. It would be unusual if Tenten would be embarrassed about something, but Akiko would never tire out when trying to do so. Akiko is the craziest and second eldest of the group, when she isn't doing random stuff, she can make smart comments. And, finally Hinata; Hinata is the shyest member of the group who usually cannot say a sentence without muttering or stuttering. It was her curse, unfortunately.
"But seriously, Hinata-chan, you've gotta stop being so nervous all the time." Sakura said putting her hand on Hinata's shoulder reassuringly.
"I-I know b-but it's difficult f-for me." Hinata stuttered out quietly when playing with her fingers.
"That's another thing, Hinata. You've gotta stop stuttering all the time; people can't understand you at times." Ino said taking her eyes off the Sasuke picture for a moment, then turning her attention to it again.
"I-I can't h-help it." Hinata rebutted to Ino silently.
"Well, then you have to help it!" Akiko shouted. "It gets on my nerves that I just want to…." At that moment Akiko took out a doll from her pocket and began to punch it repeatedly.
"Why do you have a doll in pocket?" Tenten said as she walked over to the group again, getting over her embarrassment.
"My therapist says I need it to release my anger." Akiko said hitting her doll again.
"Why does it look like Neji?" Tenten said taking the doll away from Akiko to get a good look at it.
"Um… no reason…" Akiko said trying to take the doll back, but failing in doing so. She grunted in frustration and huffed in anger. She so hated it when Tenten pulled stunts like that.
They eventually came upon the Hyuga Mansion, which both Hinata and Akiko lived in. Hinata's father is a business tycoon making them a wealthy family. Akiko and Neji lives with them because their parents had both died in a car accident, giving Hinata's father custody of them because of their close family relations.
"Well see ya, guys. C'mon Hinata." Akiko said completely forgetting the doll incident and walking toward the mansion entrance. Hinata soon followed after her.
As both Hinata and Akiko were walking toward the manor, Tenten couldn't help but feel triumphant about what she had managed to take from Akiko. Tenten snickered evilly to herself looking while looking at the Neji doll. Sakura and Ino questioned each other in confusion at Tenten's sudden unusual actions, but they shrugged it off seeing no point in the matter.
"So you think Hinata will write that letter to the blond idiot?" Ino questioned as all three of them walked back to their homes.
"She probably will, but will be too nervous to even give to it him." Sakura said with a small giggle as she pictured the scene in her head of what might happen.
"You're probably right." Ino said with a giggle of her own. "Hey guys, did you hear that our team of guys made it all the way to the semi-finals..?
"Yeah, but if you ask me they got lucky. Right Tenten?" Sakura asked looking in Tenten's direction. Though Tenten paid no attention at all; she was stuck in a world of her own still staring at the Neji doll.
"I guess Tenten really is in love Neji, hmmmm?" Ino questioned annoyingly in Tenten's face. Seeing that her house was across the street Tenten crossed the street and ran into her house, dodging Ino's question completely.
"Wow, she's fast." Ino commented, amazed at Tenten's speed and agility to get to her house.
"She's in love and we all know it." Sakura said with her arms crossed.
"Everyone knows it. Except the one person who should know it; Neji." Ino said with her arms crossed as well.

"Man… my feet hurt!" A certain blonde headed kid commented as he rubbed his feet to prove his point. He was doing both, rubbing one of his feet and walking at the same; so basically he was hopping on one foot. The boy had blue eyes, unruly blonde hair, a white dress shirt with its sleeves rolled up, a very loosen blue plaid tie, and dark blue pants. He, also, had one of his black dress shoes taken off to rub his feet.
"Will you quit complaining about it?!" A raven colored boy shouted to the blonde headed kid. He had ebony eyes which almost always showed no emotion, a certain unique style raven colored hair, a white dress shirt with its sleeves rolled up as well, a blue plaid tie hanging from his pocket, and dark pants. "It's bad enough that coach supposedly wanted to 'prepare' us for the semi-finals, but now we have to listen to your consistent whining, Naruto?"
"Well, excuse me! My feet are practically dying over here, and you want me to pretend they don't, Sasuke?!" The blonde kid named Naruto questioned, getting more and more steamed by the second.
"If you could, we'd all really appreciate it." A brown spiky haired kid retorted. He had black eyes, much like the raven hair color kid, but his had a more animal feel than his. He also had unruly brown hair, much like Naruto, but his seemed to be much more tamed. On his face were two red triangular shapes on his face, sort of like tribal markings. He wore a white dress shirt, but unlike everyone else his was buttoned up. He had a white sleeveless shirt underneath it. His dress shirt's sleeves were rolled up as well. His blue plaid tie was tied around his head like a head, and just like everyone he had dark blue pants.
"Kiba, Naruto, Sasuke." A long brown haired boy said getting a look from all three of the boys. He had long brown, soft, hair which looked like it could've been down by a girl. He had pale violet eyes, which seemed to be full of annoyance at the moment. He had a white dress shirt, as well, with its counterpart tie hanging around his neck like a scarf, and the shirt's sleeves were rolled up like everyone else. "If you don't mind, will you take your incessant chatting elsewhere; you people are giving me a headache."
"Well, Neji… Like I said before… I CAN'T STOP THE PAIN!!" Naruto shouted the last part loudly, getting a few gazes from nearby people walking in the area. The gazes died down after a while. Naruto then began to try to ignore the pain and attempted to put his shoes back on while still attempting to walk with the group. He wasn't having much luck.
Neji turned his direction of view from the blundering dunderhead to the person in front of the group who seemed to be completely unfazed by the argument occurring behind him. He had black eyes, which were closed at the moment; his white dress shirt's sleeves were rolled up as was everyone else's'. His tie was loosened down, but not like Naruto's. He had black hair which shined in sun very faintly. He had a bowl haircut, but it seemed to have not been trimmed in a while, thus resulting in it being long and loose. "Lee, how can you be unaffected by this constant noise?" Neji asked him. Lee paid no mind to him. Neji grew irritated immediately, only because of Naruto's yelling. He smacked lee upside the head, causing Lee to look at him confused.
"Why did you hit me, Neji-san?" Lee asked still rubbing the sore that appeared from Neji's smack.
"I apologize, but you deserved it for clearly ignoring me." Neji retorted with such simplicity. He, obviously, felt no remorse for his action. One could say he had done this sort of thing all the time to Lee.
"Ignore you?" Lee began to question. He paused to think for a moment. A thought had struck him. He took out a set of ear phones that had fallen out of his ears when Neji smacked him and showed it to him. Neji, obviously, hadn't notice that.
"Oh… well never mind about the hit then." Neji said with a slight blush on his face. He, then, noticed that he was already at his house and quickly ran inside; not before everyone said their goodbyes to Neji. Soon, after Neji was clearly at home, everyone started to head in their directions for home. Neji's house was pretty much the meeting spot because everyone had to go by there to get to and from school. Sasuke went his own direction, Kiba went his own direction, and Naruto and Lee went their own direction, because they were neighbors. They had been living next to each other ever since Naruto had moved there, when Lee was still in 4th grade.
The walk home was pretty much quiet, which was weird because Lee and Naruto would always find something to talk about. That's why they had been able to become good friends so quickly when they were younger. Another thought came to Lee. 'Two in one day, that is a personal best.' Lee said in his head, as he let out an inner chuckle. "So, Naruto-kun, what do you think of Hinata-chan?" Lee asked causally as he and Naruto walked home.
"Who?" Naruto confusedly asked. He was pretty sure he'd heard that name, but he couldn't place where he had heard it before.
"The girl who lives with Neji." Lee said trying his best to jog Naruto's memories.
"Are you sure you're not thinking of Akiko?" Naruto asked, still trying to place where he had heard the name 'Hinata-chan'.
"The other girl, Naruto, the other girl." Lee said trying his best not to be anger by Naruto's sudden memory loss. Lee had an excellent source of patience, but Neji's earlier smack seemed to drain most of it away, and Naruto stupidity was draining it away quickly.
"Oh right! The weird one." Naruto said as he finally got where he had seen the girl. It was one time when he went to Neji's house for homework.
"That is the one, I think... What do you think of her?" Lee asked casually again. It was a sort of déjà vu feeling for Lee.
"Well, she's pretty, nice, and really helpful too!" Naruto enthusiastically stated. Lee was beginning to wonder how Naruto had the strength to be so full of energy at the moment. He wasn't the type to be so energetic after a workout session.
"You think you might like her?" Lee asked, now getting in the conversation.
"I might, I don't know. I mean, I hardly know her and all, so I can't really say for sure." Naruto said trying his best to put all the best words to describe his feeling for her.
"Oh… um… well we're home. Ta-da!" Lee waved his arms to show that they were indeed home. Naruto ran inside to his house and Lee into his; after saying their goodbyes, of course.
While in his house, Naruto put his back against the door, and slid down it, until he was on the floor of his house. He sighed heavily and began to think. 'Why'd bushy brow ask me all those questions? Does he want me to go out with Hinata or something? Or maybe… he wants to make sure I don't go for Hinata, so he can get her.' Naruto thought rapidly. "In that case, maybe I should hook up Bushy Brows and Hinata, hehe." Naruto thought aloud to himself.
OK well that was fun, me and my friend here Anysia worked on this. She's awesome, by the way. Anyway, she started the story out and I basically kept it going. I revised some things, I hope she doesn't hurt me for changing the stuff she wrote. Anyways he is my thoughts on the parts. (000 different parts)
[PART ONE
Basically, Anysia started this story as a highschool fic. W00T, anyways, It basically starts at the end of the school day (for those of you who didn't notice (very slow thought process) So anyway, I was like 'Hey why don't I officially introduce these guys just for people who don't know what Naruto is?' And so, you see me describing every detail about their clothing.
Another thing you notice is the OC (Fanfic readers: AHH! It's an OC! RUN AWAY!) Don't be like those fanfic readers, you're going to tell me that you won't read a well written story (Not that I'm saying my story is well-written…) just because there's an OC in it? That's wrong. This OC (Akiko, just in case you're even slower than before, or haven't actually watched "Naruto" ) actually plays an important role in the story, and no she's not like overpowered or a genius or anything like that! She's just the insane one in the group. Unless you don't want to laugh at her insane antics…
A little secret: Before the huge paragraph of the girl's position in the group, The first couple of lines were in Hinata's POV (point of view, just trying to be helpful to the slow people) and also I didn't even include the whole uniforms thing, maybe Anysia was thinking of making them public school kids or something…
Yea, I know the whole Neji doll and random Sasuke picture thing was incredibly stupid, but I was bored at the time and it was too funny to actually take out. I mean c'mon random stuff like that is what America was built on! Oh and for those of you who like that scene, please avoid this, because I'll probably rant on about how people should be like you. And I know what you're thinking. You're thinking 'Hey maybe I should read this now, because they'll talk about good stuff about me' Well too bad, now go away! I hate you people now! …….. oh please don't go! I'll give out cookies… and presents…. And …um… free Sasuke! (for those Sasuke fan girls (You know who you are!) )
Ok, please don't shoot me down with rifles and stuff, just because I killed off Neji's father and mother like that (Car crash thing.. (What really did happen to his mom…?) ) I needed a valid reason for why Neji and Akiko (OC) will be living with Hinata. Besides it makes things follow more with the show. (Or does it…?) Anyways, I sure with my incredible imagination (rainbow appears out of no where) I'll come up with a reason on how this actually affects the plot. Have no fear!
[PART TWO
Ok the reason I started with Naruto whining about his aching feet was because of one single reason: I'm half the author!! XDDD Seriously, though I think Naruto would complain if they did 50 laps around the school track field (like 800 meters each laps (like 3 miles or so) could you do that and not ache about your feet pains? I thought so…) Also it was an awesome way to introduce them, don't you think? Cause if you disagree, I don't have to share this story with you.
You guys are probably wondering why I made all the guys have their uniforms have rolled up sleeves. I'll tell you. It's because I do the same exact thing with my sleeves. Oh and fan-girls: no kiba abs for you to see!! He's wearing an undershirt to cover them! I also do the same thing they do with their ties. Hehe, remember you little hippies-in-training: The government controls us with uniforms! Now you're also probably wondering why I made them have blue plaid ties and skirts, right? (the girls have skirts, you dopes who were thinking the guys had the skirts…) Well the reason is… I don't know! I just randomly picked blue. Curse my randomness…. Oh wait, my randomness is what people love about me… yay me! Oh and fan-girls: no kiba abs for you to see!! He's wearing an undershirt to cover them!
Why'd I pick Lee for the guy with the headphones, because of another simple reason: I'm half the author!! XDDDD Seriously, though I'm a Lee-fan it'd be criminal for me, not to have Lee be all cool like that. Don't get me wrong, Neji makes 2nd on my list, but he's always so serious I decided to make him the butt of the last joke. (hehe I'm a horrible Neji-fan aren't I?)
Now you're finally wondering (stop with all the wondering! Wondering can get you guys killed) why I made Naruto think that Lee has a crush on Hinata. Well the last time I'll have to say this: (I'll probably say it over and over again, anyways) I'm half the author!! He doesn't have a crush on Hinata (not Naruto, Lee doesn't have the crush.) This is a NaruHina story, so don't worry. I'm not into LeeHina anyways. I'll read occasionally, but I'm not into it. It's just a crack pairing anyways. Anyways, I just wanted to make you guys see that. Lee no love Hinata, Naruto love Hinata. I probably should tell you why Lee asked all those questions….. But I'm not; it'll ruin the story, hehehe (I'm so evil! Now to feed the poor and commit other good deeds (BWHAHAAH, I'm super evil!!) )
Little secret: Did you notice that I didn't say what team they were on? Cuz I didn't XDDD I am dead seious I couldn't think of a team they should've been on. I'm starting to think blitzball (Damn you final fantasy X (XDDD) ) Anyways, you're probably could tell that it's like the middle of the year for them, because how could you be at the semi-finals in the beginning of the year? No seriously tell me, maybe I could use that for the story. Oh and a couple of things to add the genin 9 are all in this story and they are all freshmen in highschool. The rest of them (tenten, Lee, Neji, Akiko (OC, stop being so slow!) )are sophomore. I think I can squeeze The sand siblings in the fic, but I'm not sure how much of a role they'll play. Who knows? I sure as heck don't and I'm the author (Half the author anyway). Oh and remember you guys gotta help me with picking the teams. You guys pick; football? Soccer? Basketball? Baseball? Blitzball? (XDDDD)
So should I continue this story or what? tell me what you think in a review.
