Hi there! Redbunny here! First of and foremost, I would like to inform everybody that this fanfic is based on the original Taiwanese TV series called Fated to Love You (Ming zhong zhu ding wo ai ni). The story belonged to the rightful writers/authors/creators of the said TV series, I don't own any of it. The series was one of my all time fave and the characters were so relatable with Naruto universe so I just had to adapt it as a fanifc. I do have an original story posted, it's a one shot series called Naruhina: Road to Love. Its anime based so if you're not into AU, you can checked it out too. :)
Anyway, without further ado.

Hinata's cold hand trembled as she lifted the small white stick towards her face, her heart was pounding harder and harder, a bead of sweat cascaded down the side of her face as she swallowed hard and opened her eyes so excruciatingly slow to see what her fate will be.
BAM!
The door of the public toilet that she was hiding from slammed open causing the small white stick to fly from her hand. The sudden intrusion of policemen and a female reporter surprised the hell out of her already tensed body. Hinata held both hands up, shocked, confused and terrified as everything around her suddenly became like a jungle. Cameras and flashlights were blinding her vision and the next thing she knew, the female reporter was holding out the white stick in front of her and announced,
"CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'RE PREGNANT!
Hinata felt the world spun around her. How the hell did she end up in this mess again?
Well, here's her story.
Chapter 1
"Excuse me! Excuse me! Hot Item! Excuse Me!"
Running to the main door of a tall building, Hinata tried desperately to wound herself through the crowds while keeping the two bags of hot food and other grocery items on both hands. "Excuse me! Passing through! Excuse! Wait! Don't close!" She called out, hopping in an already full elevator at the last second. Groaning and grimacing, Hinata held the hot bags over her head, muttering some excuses and apologies as she got squeezed and pushed here and there inside the tiny lift. Her glasses were already pushed up her forehead. Getting out is as hard as getting in, and Hinata almost lost her balance as she stepped out of the lift, bumping on some passengers waiting in front.
"Hey, watch where you're going?!" someone barked.
"Sorry!" Hinata replied, not stopping on her track. Turning to a corner, scurrying passed the signboard that says Chunin Legal Corporation, Hinata made her way to their office door.
"I'm here!" she yelled. Still panting, Hinata placed one bag on top of her male colleague's desk. "One mocha latte for Jim."
"What took you so long? I'm already going to my meeting. How am I supposed to drink that now?" The guy named Jim complained, placing a hand on his hip.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that. I'll just pay for your cup okay? Sorry," Hinata bowed several times as she walked backwards towards the next desk. "Ah, Linda, here's your medicine."
"Thank God, you've arrived. My hang over is killing me. I'm dying here." Her female co-worker whined, snatching the bottle of medicine from the brunette's hand.
"Sorry, the pharmacy was a bit far from the coffee shop so-" Hinata could not finished her sentence as Linda waved her excuses off and stood from her chair.
"Anyway, I think I'll be going home early today so I leave this papers to you." The lady wrote down on a sticky note and placed it on Hinata's sleeves. "There, that's my computer's password.
"Oh, alright. I hope you'll feel better soon." Hinata leaned backwards as she struggled to balance the stack of folders on her arms that Linda handed to her.
"Hey, Hinata! Where's my sandwich?" another voice called from behind, making her to turn on her heel and rushed towards another desk.
"Oh right! Sorry. Cheeseburger without pickles, right?"
"And without onions," the lady added, making Hinata gasped. The female coworker took the said sandwich from the bag and split it open. Her eyes widened in horror. "Hinata, there's onion in this sandwich! I told you that I don't want pickles and onions! How am I supposed to eat this?!"
Hinata bit her lip, "I'm so sorry..I did not checked them properly. I'll just replace your sandwich tomorrow."
"Really?" The female coworker arched a brow and as soon as Hinata nodded, she grabbed the sandwich and said,"Ok, for now this will do." Like the previous coworker, she placed a sticky note on Hinata's blouse, saying that it will help her remember her food orders next time. She then walked out of the office, perhaps to eat her sandwich secretly.
"Hinata! Could you make me a copy of these documents." someone called.
"Hey Hinata, where's the print I asked you earlier?" another one said.
"Hinata, I need some water!" another one said.
'Hinata, why are you so slow? Here, I wrote on this sticky notes all the things you need to do and you must complete them!"
"Hinata, could you stop being so slow and give me the print?"
"Hinata!"
"Hinata!"
"HINATA!"
.
Hinata Hyuga, a plain, old fashioned office girl, who does everything for everyone even though she's not a servant. Even if she's also so busy, she never dared to turn down anyone's request, because she's very...ordinary. Yes, not only does she looked ordinary, but her personalty was also ordinary. Even her name was extremely ordinary. There's nothing about her that will catch someone's attention except one thing...
She is like a sticky note.
.
"Hinata!"
Hearing her name called, Hinata quickly got up from her chair and ran to her coworker's aid.
.
A sticky note is very convenient to use and you can toss it out after you've done with it. It comes in handy when you need it and it can be ignored when you don't. It doesn;t take up much space and is always quiet.
.
Hinata kept her smile amidst the different colored notes stuck in her face and blouse by her coworkers. all of them with written notes, reminders and orders of what they want Hinata to do for them. the sticky notes almost covered her like a dress. And still, Hinata said Thank you to each one of them.
.
That's why, Hinata was called The Sticky Note girl.
To say it nicely, it's in her personality and character to be understanding and like helping out people without getting anything in return. Even if she's taken advantage of, she won't mind it one bit. But deep inside, the truth is... She is a very bashful human being.
She's afraid of turning people down.
She's afraid of making others mad.
She is someone who completely lack self esteem.
Having no personality...is her personality.
.
When Hinata was just a fetus, her being was already threatened. Her father, Hiashi Hyuga, wanted the first child to be a boy. The Hyuga family was struggling financially during those times, her parents could not afford to have many kids. That's why her father tried to convince her mother many times to have Hinata aborted and later on try to have a child again, assuring her mother that he will pray vigilantly to the heavens and the Gods of their village to give them a boy. But through the genuine love and strength of her mother, Hinata was not aborted and was born to be a healthy girl. Later on, due to her father's strong desire to have a son, her mother became pregnant again. That pregnancy brought another child in to their home but this time...it's still a girl. And that finally lose their father's faith to their Gods and buried his desire of having another child. Hiashi's prayers were answered in a different way though when his deceased brother left his son, Neji Hyuga, to his custody. With arms wide open, Hiashi accepted the boy and treated him as his own, eldest child.
With that, Hinata grew up to be the middle child. She was always treated with least priority in their family. Her father will always buy 2 sets of clothes or toys or anything for his childred except that nothing new was for Hinata. It will always be, one for Neji and one for Hanabi, the youngest child. Whenever young Hinata asked her father about it, he would lecture her and answered, "Hinata, you know we don't have much money. You can always have Neji's clothes when he gets bigger." and "Hinata, you should learn to give way to your younger sister. It's just a toy, you should let Hanabi have it."
Despite being like a blade of grass that doesn't stand out, Hinata felt like a jewel in her mother's heart.
"Hinata, which story would you like me to read for you, Snow White or Cinderella?"
Sitting on her mother's lap, a three year old Hinata looked at the books in front of her and said, "Cinde-wella!"
"Oh, you want Cinderella. This is Mom's favorite too."
Her mother's beautiful smile never failed to warm and brighten young Hinata's heart. Ever since, hearing the story of Cinderella, Hinata felt a connection between her and the blonde fairy tale princess. She was also very ordinary and gets bullied for her niceness. And like Cinderella, Hinata always dreamed that someday, a prince will come looking for a nice girl, a girl who can endure a lot of hardwork and trials. A girl who was like her.
"Hinata, as long as your working hard and have a good heart, happiness will come knocking on your door." Hinata looked up at her mother, the sun shines bright behind her giving her a halo, she looked like an angel. "Mama believes that someday, you will become the most beautiful princess in the world. There's nothing wrong with being ordinary, your real prince will find you despite your ordinariness and it will give you the greatest power in the world. The power of love, so don't ever give up. Just be yourself and always go towards the direction of your dreams. Your prince will come and you will definitely have a happy ever after."
Her mother was a really nice person, but the world doesn't keep nice people for so long. Before Hinata could let her mother see her transform into a princess, her mother became a real angel and went to heaven.
.
Since then, Hinata kept her ordinary self and was always waiting for her prince to notice her. She learned that changing herself won't attract true love, instead it will just gave her fake affection and admiration. But until two months ago, a certain coworker finally noticed her.
"What a cute sticky note."
Hinata perked up on her seat and saw a guy with black hair and sharp eyes approaching her desk, carrying a big box on his left arm and a cute smile on his face. He gently pulled off a green sticky note from Hinata's hair and said, "It's really cute."
Hinata blushed, turning her gaze back to her computer screen, fidgeting shyly with her fists balled in her lap. "I-If you want me to do s-something for you, just write it o-on a sticky note. And I'll take care of it." she managed to say, despite her heart beating frantically on her chest.
The guy's smile turned into a grin, his canine teeth becoming visible. "It definitely illustrates all your distinct qualities. This sticky note girl is cute."
Hinata pulled her lips inside her mouth to suppress her smiles as the guy started writing down on the sticky note. 'He said, I'm..He said I'm cute!'
Turning slightly on her side, she tried to check out the guy standing next to her. He has black spiky hair, a sharp manly eyes and canine teeth that made him look super cute. My God, all the girls in this company may fall head over heels for him. Hinata shuddered as the guy briefly paused on his writing and caught her staring at him. He flashed her a sideways smile that made her blushed a deeper shade of red.
Oh God, he has never looked her in the eye before. She have always seen him around the office in a different department but she never get to know his name. And she's sure he doesn't know her name either. Yet, he's talking to her right now. And he even called her cute! Hinata squealed inwardly, placing her hands over her chest to calm her heartbeats.
"Say," her prince-er the guy finished his writing. "It's actually my last day in this office, I resigned today. But if you have free time, we can still go for some coffee or something." he said, placing the sticky note on Hinata's joined hands. "Ok, bye!" The guy gave her a beaming smile, winking as he took the box he had placed on Hinata's desk before turning towards the door.
Hinata felt her heart exploded with happiness she had never felt before. Someone has finally noticed her! Could he be her prince? She sighed dreamily as she watched the guy's retreating form, pressing the sticky note close to her heart before holding it out to see what the guy wrote on it.
Kiba 0985275000
.
.
Although a prince has taken notice of her, what's sad was that she still didn't know how to be a princess. She still had to face and accept countless number of sticky notes and never ending to do list.
.
Hinata waved goodbye to her colleagues, though none of them actually waved back at her as they walked out of their office. Some wanted to go home, some wanted to go shopping, others will still go to party somewhere, generally talking about how they'd spend the weekend. Though it was another tiring day at the office, her spirit and mood had just started to brighten. Tonight, she and Kiba will go out for a movie and she was looking forward to it since this morning. She sighed happily, looking at herself on a small mirror, she just adjusted her eyeglasses and that's it.
Hinata never wore make up. She was always plain and simple. Beauty inside is more important than the outside, that's one of her motto. Besides, she doesn't know how to put make up anyway.
Locking her drawer, Hinata prepared herself to leave, but then her desk phone rang and she could not resist from picking up.
"Hello!" she greeted excitedly. "Ah Linda? She just left." Hinata paused and as she listened to the caller, her mood gradually sank down. "Oh, is that so. Okay, I can do it. Okay...Okay noted. I'll do it right away... Aha...yes...ok, I'll try to finish it by tonight and send you the email..Okay. By-" The caller didn't even let her finished saying goodbye. Huffing out a sigh, Hinata glanced at the clock and dialed her phone with a heavy heart.
She just had been asked to do some urgent work tonight meaning her date with Kiba was cancelled...again.
"Hi, Kiba-kun."
"Oh Hinata, what's up?"
"Ano, I need to do overtime again at the office so I...I can't make it to the cinemas with you. Gomenasai." Hinata let out an exasperated sigh.
"But it's the weekend. How come you'r still staying late at the office?"
"That's the reason, they need this report by the end of today so-" She heard Kiba sighing on the other line and that made her heart twitched a little.
"It looks like your job is more important than me."
"NO! That's not-"
"You know what? If you keep cancelling on me, then I think.." Hinata's breath hitched, nervously anticipating his next words. "I think, we should not see each other anymore. Goodbye!" With that the line died and Hinata felt her heart also died with it. She felt that it literally stopped. She could not believe it. The first (and only) relationship she might ever had ended just like that.
Her lips quivered as tears started falling down her cheeks. She ripped her eyeglasses off, dropped her face on her desk and cried her heart out. Good thing there's nobody there to hear her cries. Bad thing was, there's nobody there to hear her cries.
.
'So, your date stood you up? It means we can have fun tonight." A girl with red hair wound her arms around Kiba's waist.
"Heck yeah. I kinda know she's not showing up though. Good thing, she already lent me some money the other day." Smirking, Kiba placed an arm around the lady's shoulder.
"You really broken up with her?" the lady inquired.
Kiba just shrugged, "Until I ran out of money again, I guess. She'll ask me to come back anyways." He admitted shamelessly, fangs visible.
"You're so mean," the girl teased, pinching him lightly on the side.
"Hey, If I haven't been fired from that stupid company then I won't be thinking of asking out that sticky note girl." Kiba snarled. "She seemed to really like me and I take time to see her sometimes even though she's a sore in the eyes. I'm actually doing her a favor. No guy in their right mind would want to go out with a girl like her, she's so old fashioned and she doesn't even let me touch her." Kiba huffed, grimacing at the thoughts of his unsuccessful moves to grope the sticky note brunette. "Anyway, enough about her. Which bar should we go to?" he asked causing the girl to giggle on his arms.

Her bag was swinging lifelessly on her side, shoulders slumped as she walked down the busy streets of the city with slow heavy footsteps. It was starting to get chilly as Christmas seasons approaches. Lanterns and street lights flickered merrily around her but that wasn't enough to lift the heaviness in her heart. There are couples giggling, chatting and roaming around. she actually bumped into some of them and they were barking at her, but she could not careless about it
After an hour or so of walking mindlessly like a zombie on the street, Hinata paused on her track and looked helplessly at the evening sky. 'Kami-sama, what did I do to have this kind of fate?' she asked mentally. 'Please, I beg you. Please give me some miracle!'
A cold evening wind blew around her and as Hinata gazed up the sky, her eyes widened, her mouth dropping open and-
ACHOOO!
Letting out a loud sneeze, Hinata rubbed her nose and got confused when the people gasped in awe. She looked around and saw little snowflakes starting to fall, brightening up her mood. She held her hand out, trying to catch the white pluff.
"Hinataaa~~~"
The brunette perked up, looking around to find the sweet voice calling her but did not see anyone familiar.
"Hinataaa~~~"
There it goes again, louder this time.
"HINATA!"
Hinata jumped and gawked in surprise as the lady on the Christmas billboard beside her comes alive. "What the-" Rubbing her eyes under her glasses, Hinata blinked several times, questioning her sanity. "You! Who..How-"
The girl in the billboard giggled at her reaction. "Weren't you asking for some miracle just now?" she said, wiggling her finger, gesturing her to look closer at the magazine she's holding up.
Blinking, Hinata scooted closer, adjusting her eyeglasses. "18 ways to win your boyfriend's love back," she read.
"Yup, look at this." The billboard girl chirped, opening up a page. "Can your read it for me?"
Hinata adjusted her glasses and looked at the picture of a big cruise. "Go on short vacation with your boyfriend. Book the special offer in Love Boat Star Cruise and spent a memorable romantic 2 days and 1 night with your special someone."
The billboard girl squealed."Isn't it a perfect! A chance to re-ignite your love with your darling? Sexy dress, candle light dinner. A romantic holiday on a love cruise, inside a romantic suite, in a romantic-"
"W-Wait on a second!" Hinata squeked. "I-If I go on vacation with my boyfriend, t-then it means we have to s-sleep t-together?" The billboard girl nodded eagerly, making Hinata flushed at the thought. "B-But my Father told me that girls must not sleep with their boyfriend before they get married so-"
"Fufufu!" The billboard girl shushed her, waving a finger in front as if to disagree. "You have to think about it. A man's heart can disappear faster than Haley's comet. Unless you know how to grasp your opportunity." Hinata made a thoughtful look. "Remember, you are the captain of your own ship. You must take a chance and sail."
ACCHOOOO!
Hinata rubbed her nose again, pulling a handkerchief from her bag before turning back at the billboard girl. "But what if-" Her brows crossed, confused to see the billboard girl back to her original animated design. She looked around and noticed that the snowflakes had stopped as well. Hinata sighed, rubbing her forehead. This heartbreak and fatigue must have taken a toll on her, she started imagining things. Finally deciding to go home and sleep, Hinata continued on her walk when she suddenly stepped something. Her eyes widened, she hastily picked up the magazine on the floor and looked back at the billboard.
Her sanity must be long gone, cause that billboard girl just winked at her.

Meanwhile, Uzumaki Naruto stood on the rooftop of a magnificent skyscraper, watching the flickering lights of the busy city. His blonde locks swaying gently with the cold evening breeze. He pulled out a gold band from his pocket and smiled as he held it in front of him.
.
