The Beginning

There's a woman that will take people and face them with many trials. She takes what is must precious to them so the people don't refuse to go on with this charade. She uses their pain and misery as a type of entertainment. There are times where if she thinks you didn't fight hard enough for what you love she doesn't give it back. The person will return home without it and continue life emptily.

Her mistress was once a beautiful maiden with much prospect in life. Many gods fell for her beautiful face. Once a very handsome prince turned himself into a carpe and asked the maiden for her hand. She refused and he became very angry. He cursed her and isolated her from the world. She now lives in agony and pain and wants everyone around her to suffer for what she had lost. She changed her name and was know to the people as the Sakura Maiden.

Every year when the cherry blossoms bloom a small tribe would celebrate in a festival. It was also the town that the Sakura Maiden once lived with her family. Her home was now closed and it was rumored that whoever trespassed would disappear.

Sasuke was a person that would never show his emotion. While his best friend Naruto was the exact opposite, he couldn't help but show his emotions. Hinata and Ino were also part of this small group. Hinata was completely shy and barely spoke. Ino couldn't stop talking and always stood up for her friends.

"YAY!" The girls screamed when Sasuke entered the classroom. He sat next to Naruto who couldn't stop smiling.

"Wipe that annoying smile." Sasuke.

"Don't you understand? This is the last day we have together! After this we'll be going to college. We have to make it as fun as we can." Naruto. Hinata ran in the class hiding her face in her hands. She sat down and laid her face on the desk.

"Come on Hinata!" Ino. "You're fast!" she smiled hugely and sat behind her. She poked her back, "Hina."

"What's going on?" Naruto. Sasuke watched with the corner of his eye.

"Hinata has a bunch of admirers." Ino taunted. Hinata blushed hiding her face again.

"Admirers?" Naruto.

"The president of our class came up to her first, she was completely speechless. Then Kiba, and a bunch of guys came up to her." Ino.

"I didn't know you were so popular Hinata." Naruto.

"Hey what are you guys are doing?" Iruka Sensei, "You all should go to home room before I send you to the office."

"Hey Hinata they were waiting for you." Ino teased.

"Man, there were about 10 guys surrounding the door. Anyone have any idea what's up with that?" Iruka stretched.

"It's the last day Sensei they all probably want to confess their love before they graduate." Naruto.

"Hinata better be careful, you'll get attacked, in the hall, class, gym and bathroom." Ino.

"Eep!" Hinata was shaking. Just the thought got her dizzy.

"I protect you Hina-chan!" Ino said in a deep voice. "Isn't that what you're suppose to say Sasuke." He gave a dirty look.

"Come on, this is the best opportunity you'll have." Naruto whispered. Sasuke blushed at the thought. "Remember at Prom you got to dance with her when she was voted Queen and you King." He blushed harder. "Why don't you admit you like her?"

"This is the last day." Ino emphasized last.

"Imagine her going to college where a bunch of guys are willing to take advantage of her kindness." Naruto. Sasuke twitched at the thought and rubbed his head with two fingers. "I guess that's a yes." Ino.

"Guys lets get ready for Gym and then we'll go to the auditorium so that we can pass the Year Books around." Iruka. The class got up and started to walk towards the gym.

"Come on Sasuke your job starts now." Ino pushed him. He bumped into Hinata and apologized.

"What do you want me to walk her to the dressing room?" Sasuke.

"Yes and help her dress." Ino stuck out her tongue. He knew they were kidding but he couldn't help but think about it.

Gym Class

The gym teacher had given them the instruction to play what ever they wanted and left to spent time with all the other teachers in the lounge. Hinata and the gang decided to play volley ball on their own.

Hinata felt eyes on her while it was her turn to serve. It gave her a cold chill down her spine and she turned to Ino. Her eyes called help me.

"So Sasuke are you too shy to get near her?" Ino.

"Stop bothering me." Sasuke couldn't admit the truth.

"Maybe you shouldn't have worn the skirt Hinata." Ino. "There's a line of guys waiting for you to do the wrong move and show something." Hinata had forgotten her pants, or mysteriously gone missing. Ino was the culprit; all she was trying to do is get Sasuke moving. But it didn't work. She had forgotten all about the other guys getting a kick out of this.

Some girls all too jealous of Hinata turned on the huge fans that you only see in movie sets. Hinata skirt flew and she tried to keep it down. The girls smirked and watched her embarrassment.

Sasuke ran to her grabbing her from behind and carrying her to the side. He watched the girls turn off the fan disappointed.

"Sasuke?" Hinata was red. Sasuke looked confused and then it hit him. He had her against the wall while his body was practically all over hers. "Sasuke!" he fainted.

Nurses Room

Sasuke woke up and tried to get up but his head started hurting. He heard humming and moved the curtain to see Hinata listening to her IPod.

"Oh you're awake!" she clapped her hands in delight. She touched his forehead and his neck.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm checking your temperature. You fainted all of a sudden, so I thought you might have an internal fever, but when I said that to Ino and Naruto they just laughed."

"What did they tell you?" he was getting nervous.

"They told me to stay here that I was your only medicine…I don't understand." Hinata. "But I am really happy that you're better. So do you hurt anywhere?"

"My head that's all. I must've went head first." He chuckled.

"Hmm?"

"What?"

"I've never seen you smile so relaxed before."

"That's because I'm with you." Opps. She smiled glowingly.

"I thought you hated me all this time." She giggled and her face blush a little. "I mean you never really spoke to me so…"

"I…" all this time she thought he didn't even like her. He had no idea. He did tend to not speak to her or sometimes even pay attention to her, but he never hated her.

She took his hand between hers and placed it lightly on her cheek. She closed her eyes. She started to sing a nice melody.

He sat up straight ignoring the pain and drew closer to her face. He kissed her lips and she let go of his hand. She was completely in shock. He cupped her face and kissed again, except more passionately this time. Her arms wrapped around his neck as she went along with him.

She lay next to him in his arms. She would never guess his feelings for her, at least she never thought of herself as a very pretty person. Even though guys always walked up to her and she was voted Queen, she never thought she deserved it.

Ino and Naruto didn't know what happened in the Nurses Room but they knew it was good. Hinata and Sasuke came out holding hands. Mission Accomplished!
