Love Hurts

By Hinata's Darkside

It was a bright day in Konoha. The wind blew, stirring up the green leaves, and the inflamed sun rose over the village. Over at the bridge, a burst of light showed at the end of it. There, a girl with short violet hair stood gazing at the sky. Hinata, who was watching this view, had a smile on her face. She continued to watch the river until she heard a voice. She turned to see who it was. It was only Sakura.

Sakura ran towards the end of the bridge, waving at Hinata. Hinata waved only a little, then slowly put her hand down.

"Are you coming or what?" Sakura said as she stood there waiting for her. Hinata rushed to catch up and slowly walked next to Sakura. After that, the wind began to blow harder, and Sakura and Hinata were almost towards the village. While walking, they began to talk about boys, just to keep up a conversation.

"S-Sakura, what d-do you think of Sasuke?"Hinata stuttered as she waited for Sakura's answer. Her pink hair blew toward her face, as she finally answered the question.

" Sasuke . . . well, he's cute for one thing, and he's very skilled as well." As she continued, Hinata was meddling with her fingers as usual.

" However, Sasuke can be very stiff, but quiet at times as well. I don't know why, but he's so amazing and sexy. I mean, whenever our team is in a tough situation, Sasuke is there to protect me . . . and Naruto is there as well." Sakura turned to face Hinata, who was still meddling with her hands. When she got her attention, Sakura looked at her and asked, " Hinata, what do you see in Naruto?"

Hinata began to blush and stutter again. "Well . . . um . . . Naruto is . . . " She tried to get out a word, but Sakura interrupted.

I don't understand what you see in that idiot." She grumbled as she glimpsed at Hinata with a bizarre look on her face. Hinata tuned red, but she tried to continue.

"Well N-Naruto is brave and sort of skilled. I mean, he can be funny at times, b-but he never gives up on anything. Whenever I see him, his eyes show confidence, and his spirit and bravery keeps me going and fighting. Sakura I will tell him how I feel."

As they were close to the academy, Sakura gave Hinata some thumbs up.

" I know you will Hinata." Hinata went to find the blonde- headed ninja while Sakura left to the academy to find Sasuke. Minutes later, Hinata looked almost everywhere, but there was no sight of Naruto at all. She soon caught up with Rock lee. Lee bumped into Hinata without noticing her. "Hello, Hinata." Rock Lee replied, happy to see her. "Where are you going?"

"I'm trying to look for Naruto-kun , but I can't find him. Could you tell him to meet me at the bridge?"

"Don't worry. I'll be able to find him." Rock Lee smiled as he walked past her. Hinata began to head toward the Konoha Bridge, hoping he would show up.

Meanwhile, in the dark forest, a lazy Naruto lay on the top of the tree. His legs and his arms hanged off the tree, while he drooled on his shoulder. From the calm force of the wind, he opened his eyes in an instant. He rubbed his eyes and stretched his arms.

"That was refreshing." Naruto jumped down the tree, and decided to go back to the village. Before he knew it, a mysterious figure appeared in front of him. It was only Rock Lee.

"Hi, Naruto," said Rock Lee as he looked at Naruto.

"Hi shit brows."replied Naruto as he walked past him. Rock Lee stared at Naruto in an aggravated way.

" I thought you weren't going to call me that!"

" Yeah, I know, but I wanted to." Naruto thought that Lee didn't come for a reason, so he decided to ask him. "So, what are you doing here?" he questioned.

" I wondered if you think Sakura likes me or not." Rock Lee replied, as he was patient of the blonde's answer.

"Well," Naruto began, "there's a 90 chance that she doesn't like you, and there's a 10 chance that she might like you. Try shaving off those bushes on your eyebrows, and maybe she might start to notice you. But I think that most of the time, she really thinks of that bastard Sasuke. That's all I hear from her. Sasuke, Sasuke, and Sasuke. Every day, every mission that we have. 'I mean, what's so great about him?'

Rock Lee had a short thought, and suddenly he had flames in his eyes, burning with rage. To a shock his eye brows were on fire. "Rest assure Naruto, I will try to get Sakura to love me and to understand the power of my youth . . . Oh, yeah, Hinata was looking for you.

'Huh...Hinata? What would she want with me?' Naruto didn't understand at all. So he turned and walked, until Rock Lee shouted,

"She's over at the bridge!" Naruto smiled and thanked Lee, and headed toward the bridge. After Naruto left, Lee went to catch up with Neji and Ten-Ten, and they headed out of the forest as well.

Meanwhile, Hinata stood at the bridge, waiting for the genin, hopefully that he would show up. In her mind she thought about how he would react to what she was going to say. 'Naruto if I say these words how will you respond back to me?' Naruto saw the violet- haired Hinata at the end of the bridge. He waved and had a smile on his face.

"Heh . . . better late than never." Naruto laughed as he walked toward Hinata. Hinata looked at him and blushed. Then, she made a complement.

"Always funny a-aren't you Naruto?"

"Uh Hinata, did you want to ask me something?" Naruto asked as he waited for the kunoichi's answer. This was her last chance, so she attempted to look in the blonde's blue eyes. She paused, but she had the confidence to continue.

"N-Naruto, you're kind . . . nice . . . and funny. You may have not noticed me, b-but that's ok. I wanted to k-know if I am s-stronger than before."

Naruto had a confused look on his face as he thought,' What is she trying to say?'

" I was glad that you gave me the determination and confidence to be the kind of shinobi I could be."Hinata slowly cried out a tear. "N-Naruto . . . I . . . I. L-l." Hinata was crying so hard, that she couldn't finish her sentence. All at once Naruto went toward the crying kunoichi, and wrapped his arms around her to soothe her

" Hinata . . . I can understand what you're trying to say . . . and I do respect you and indeed it is true . . . I love you too. Do one favor for me, please don't ever cry again. What I don't understand is . . . how can you give me the words I needed to hear." Hinata held Naruto's hand and gazed at the bright sky. She turned to him and said, "you're not alone Naruto, not anymore . . . maybe we'll be able to understand each other a little more."

Out of nowhere, two sound ninjas appeared behind Hinata over at the bridge.

"Get her!" on of the sound ninja ordered. This sound ninja had dark blue clothes, had a chain, and wrapped it around Hinata. She tried to use a jutsu, but the chain had so much chakra, that it bounded hers. Then he yanked on the chain and pulled Hinata into his grasp.

"Let her go!" Naruto shouted in anger. The other ninja, who wore nothing but black clothes, used his chakra to produce massive sound waves to deflect Naruto back. There lay Naruto slammed on the ground, bruises and cuts everywhere on his body.

"You want her back? Come get her in the Land of Sand." Naruto tried to stand up and perform a jutsu, but it was too late. The mysterious ninja and Hinata, were gone. Naruto, who was struck with anger, hit his fist into the ground, hard. "Damn it! ...Hinata I will get you back . . . I promise, but I am gonna need a little help."
