A/N: I don't know how this idea hit me, but when it did, I knew I couldn't ignore it. This might not be updated very frequently or it could slow down Shino's the Man. I'm not sure which one.
All she could remember was running. She didn't know what she was running from, but she ran. She ran until she collapsed near a river. And that was when he found her.
One thing was certain: Hinata Hyuuga would never be the same
~X~
She had always been the shy and quiet type. Her father had always criticized her and favored her sister Hanabi. Her older cousin Neji was a bully to her. Never had she known a life without such pain and her family was at the center of it.
Hinata was a fourteen year old girl with white eyes and purple-blue hair. If it weren't for her quietness, people would have noticed how very pretty she was, but they never did.
And somehow, the day where she was running came. Her mind immediately blocked out what she was running from; all she knew was she had to keep going.
Her feet pounded on the ground as she gasped for breath. She wasn't used to running this hard and for this long. She didn't know how long she had been running. All she knew was she was in the forest that was behind her house. She had never ventured this far, but soon an ending was in sight.
She started to feel dizzy but she wouldn't slow down. Her mind started to feel cloudy and her legs gave way. She hit the ground with a thud and soon her mind went blank.
No one knew where Hinata Hyuuga had disappeared to.

Kiba was also fourteen years old. He had scruffy brown hair and a faithful pet dog named Akamaru. This dog was mostly white, but had brown ears. Akamaru was Kiba's best friend, along with some people in the small town that he lived in.
This small town was at the edge of a forest. On the other side of said forest, a big city could be found. Kiba enjoyed running with Akamaru at the edge of the forest but never dared to venture in.
That is, until the day he noticed something laying on the ground. And it looked like a body. He couldn't resist the urge to see if someone had died in the forest he had grown up by.
Once he reached it, he saw it was a girl who was very pale and cold. Before he could pronounce her dead, he took her pulse and saw that her heart was still beating.
He did the only thing he could think to do: Take her home and see what his mom had to say.
This would end up changing both of their lives forever.
A/N: The setting is a place in my mind. It's about the same time as the Naruto series, but there are no ninjas or Konoha. Instead, there is the town and the city I mentioned.
