Okay so I haven't done this for a while so I may seem a little out of practice story wise. Please bear with me. (In fact, I had to look up whether I am meant to say "bear" or "bare").

This is a yuri story, Hinata x Tenten.

I dont own Naruto or any of the associated characters.


Hinata Hyuga was troubled. She had been thinking about the future for the past week now. Iruka-sensei had asked a question that she had been unable to answer.

"If the moon were to fall and destroy the earth, who would you want to spend your last day with?" At first the young Hyuga had thought the answer would be simple. She thought of her clansmen, her mother (whom she had not seen in seven years), her classmates, and of course, Naruto Uzumaki. She had been about to write the jnchuuriki's name when another person popped into her head.

Tenten.

Hinata's fascination with the girl had started after she had seen her walking home with the Hyuga genius and Hinata's cousin, Neji Hyuga. When she had first seen her she thought that the girl looked interesting. She had never seen someone who looked like that. According to what Neji had told her father when he questioned the girl's appearance, Tenten's family was from a small village on the outskirts of the Land of Earth and looked foreign. Her shirt was one Hinata had seen in on of her family's books about other nations. It was the cultural dress of that nation. Her brown hair was tied up in twin buns and she had kind, brown eyes.

From the moment the heiress saw the girl she was intrigued.


Tenten was walking around the Hyuga compound looking for Neji. They were going to be walking to the academy together and, after becoming sick of waiting, was let into the compound to find him. She had never seen the inside of a compound as large as this and was struck with awe when she saw the large garden withing the rear fence. As she entered the garden she saw a smaller girl sitting under a tree, visibly upset.

"Are you okay?" she asked, allowing the timid looking girl to notice her without jumping into the branches in shock. The girl looked up smiled slightly as Tenten approached.

"I'm alright..." she answered.

'Does she think I'm blind? Why is she hiding her true emotions? Must be a Hyuga thing, because Neji only emotional reactions to things is slight annoyance.' Tenten thought.

"You say you're alright but your face is still blotchy from crying. Why don't we start off with introductions and then you tell me how you really feel. I'm Tenten." Hinata smiled a little wider and bowed.

"My name is Hinata." she replied. 'She's actually really pretty...'

"So what's up?" Tenten asked, surprised by the girl's formalities.

"My father made me fight my sister for the title of heiress. I could have won but I couldn't bring myself to hurt my little sister." Hinata said, beginning to cry again.

'So that's why she is so formal...' Tenten thought.

"Would you like my opinion?" She whispered. The younger girl nodded, leaning in. Neither of the girls wanted the main house members to hear anything that could land either of them in hot water. "I think that you did the right thing. I don't have any sibling do I'm not well versed in the subject but if I had been asked to do that I would probably have done the same thing." Hinata mood appeared to change slightly.

"Thank you Tenten-san." she said, bowing once more.

"You know, you don't have to bow to me. I mean, friends don't bow every three seconds do they?" Tenten said, surprising Hinata.

"Wait, we're friends?" she asked, her face beginning to redden.

"Yeah, why not?" Tenten replied.

"Thank you. I've never had friends before." Hinata smiled.

"Well I have to get to class or I'll be in a load of trouble. See you around Hinata."


Two years later

Hinata and Tenten were walking towards the academy.

"Well Hinata, today is your genin exam. Are you ready?" Tenten asked the smaller girl. Hinata looked at her friend and smiled.

"I think so. What were the tests again?" she asked. Tenten had already been through the exam with Hinata.

'I guess she's just nervous...' she thought. Hinata looked expectantly at the older girl.

"First there will be a written exam, then there will be target practice and finally a transformation. Hinata you've been training for this. There is nothing to worry about."

Hinata wasn't as nervous as Tenten thought. In reality, Hinata enjoyed the sound of Tenten's voice. It was kind but confident and clear as day. It wouldn't be for a few months that Hinata would realise the true reason why she liked listening to her best friend talk. Hinata grew up in a world where girls were for friendship and boys for a different kind of companionship.

"Okay, if you zone out like that during the exam thingd could end badly. Are you sure that you're feeling okay?" Tenten asked. Hinata smiled and nodded, not realising the blush that attempted to cover her face when Tenten placed a caring hand on the girl's shoulder. Tenten, however, saw the blush and removed her hand, leaving Hinata feeling somewhat disappointed.

'What is this feeling? The last time I felt like that was when Naruto-kun sat with Sakura-san instead of his usual seat in front of me'.

What Hinata didn't realise was that these feelings would alter the path of both girls.


A/N: Okay chapter 1 is finished.

For clarification, Hinata is bisexual. I've never written a bisexual character before so I'm not sure if I got it right. If you have any suggestions let me know.
