First Chapter: Hyuga Hinata
Hinata lay on her back facing the light blue ceiling in her room. The back of her right hand was placed on her forehead. She sighed heavily. She was planning to confess her love towards him today. It was early Saturday morning and she's still in her white night gown.
She got off from the bed and head for the showers. She checked herself out in front of the mirror before stripping off her clothes. 'I will have to think about this carefully' she mused as she twisted the shower knob.
When she had done cleaning herself, she stepped out of the warm bathroom and into her cold bedroom. Carefully, she tiptoed to her closet and chose what to wear for today. She settled on a white tank top and baby blue cropped pants. Simple but comfortable was her priority.
She made her bed after she had done putting on her clothes and kissed her lovely wooden doll which she found five months ago before going downstairs.
She had found the doll on one fine morning when she, Tenten and Ino was strolling down the park.
Flashback
"So Hinata-chan" Tenten said "When will you tell Naruto about your feelings?" she asked with a playful smirk on her face.
"Ano, I don't know! Maybe never?" Hinata answered nervously. She really didn't think she would bring herself to confess to Naruto.
"Aww, come on Hinata-chan! Do something, he's bound to like you back!" Ino said with full of confidence.
Hinata blushed a deep crimson. 'Will Naruto-kun ever like me back?' she was lost in her own thoughts and didn't seem to be aware that she was walking on the edge of a small hill. She took another step and heard Tenten and Ino screamed before she tumbled over for a fall.
"Ouch" she cried. She rubbed her sore knees and forehead when she noticed something in hidden in the bushes.
"What's this?" She thought out loud as she crawled over to the object. She came to a halt when she perceived that the object was a beautiful male wooden doll with raven spiky hair. She took the doll in her hands and observed every inch of it.
"This doll was so finely made. I guess it won't hurt anybody if I keep it right? It's just too beautiful to be left here." She said to herself.
Not long after that, she heard the sound of rustled leaves and twigs snapping followed by running footsteps. She turned her head around and soon realized that it was her friends who came searching for her.
"Hinata-sama, are you okay?" Neji asked hastily with a note of concern in his voice. He looked at her with a worried face.
"En, I'm fine. But I think I twisted my ankle" she answered him politely. "Arigatou Neji-nii-san!" she thanked him gratefully. He was like her big protective brother.
"Mah, there you are! Thank goodness it's not long before we found you; otherwise it will be too troublesome!" Shikamaru said after catching up with Neji and yawned lazily.
"Oh my god, Hinata-chan" Ino launched herself at her. "You're alive! Oh, you have no idea how worried I was when you fell down the cliff." She hugged Hinata tightly as if not wanting to let go.
Ino, Hinata and Tenten were best friends since kindergarten years. They're just inseparable. Hinata hugged Ino back with one hand while the other was holding the doll.
"When you fell down, we instantly went to get help" Ino said "It's a good thing Neji and Shikamaru was close" she explained.
"Well, we had enough of talking. Let's go back home" Neji said and went over to Hinata. "Climb on my back Hinata-sama. I'm giving you a piggy ride"
Hinata shook her head slowly, her face pink from embarrassment. "I don't think so Neji-nii-san!" she protested.
"I'm afraid you leave me no choice" He said with a calm voice and then a small smirk slowly forms on his face. He easily lifted Hinata on to his back and circled her legs on his waist. "Don't go against your big brother's words ne?" he said teasingly,
"Aww, isn't that cute Shika-kun? Why don't you give me a piggy ride home?" she asked demandingly.
"Bah, this is just too troublesome. I'm leaving" he said nonchalantly and walked off without warning.
"Hey, wait for me you BAKA! How dare you leave me alone?" Ino bellowed and ran after Shikamaru.
Tenten, Hinata and Neji laughed at the scene. The three started walking when Tenten noticed that Hinata was holding something.
"What do you have there Hinata?" she asked out of curiosity "If I'm not mistaken, you didn't bring anything here do you? Where'd you get that?"
Hinata looked at the doll in her hands and answered Tenten "I found it in the bushes. It was so beautiful so I planned to keep it." She smiled warmly.
End of Flashback
Hinata sat on the table and began eating her breakfast. Her father had gone off to work and her mother was busy in her garden. Hanabi was still asleep because she had stayed until late last night to study for the upcoming exam.
She ate slowly and began thinking of her plans for today. Today will be the day she confesses her love towards Uzumaki Naruto.
"Ohaiyou Hinata-sama" Neji appeared at the kitchen doorway. His hair ruffled and was wearing a white short and a white sleeveless top he had always worn to sleep. He yawned lazily and for a second there he looked just like Shikamaru. Only more handsome.
Hinata giggled at the thought and blushed a bit when she realized that Neji was staring at her with confusion.
"What's so funny?" He asked as he set himself on a chair opposite of Hinata and poured some tea in his tea cup.
"Nothing" she answered hurriedly. Surely she doesn't want Neji to know that she thought he looked like Shikamaru.
"What is your planning for today?" He changed the subject when he knew he couldn't get anything out of here if she doesn't want to.
"Urmm, I don't know, maybe h-hang out with the girls or something" She obviously lied.
Neji raised an eyebrow. Since when did Hinata-sama's stutter come back? Something must be up. But oh well, I guess it's none of my business. Neji thought and started eating his scrambled eggs, ignoring the conversation.
Hinata heaved a sigh of relief. 'Thank goodness Neji understood that I didn't want to talk about it.' She got up and brought her dishes to the sink. She was about to wash her plate when Neji stopped her.
"It's okay Hinata-sama. I'll do it for you!" he said without looking at her.
"Oh no, I'll wash it. You don't need to trouble yourself!" she protested.
"What did I say about not to go against my words?" he threatened her.
"Oh okay, but next time let me wash yours to be fair!" She said in defeat and went over to him. Once she got near enough, she planted a big slobbery kiss on his cheek. She giggled and ran out of the kitchen before he can grab her.
"Bye Neji-nii-san" She yelled from the living room.
Neji sat there, dumbstruck. 'Did she just make a fool out of me again? Just wait until she comes back. It will be payback time!' he thought playfully and resumed eating his breakfast.
