A/N: Ok, so this is my first fanfiction ever, so please be gentle. If you have any questions do ask. Oh, and I don't own any of the characters, we all know who does.

Naruto

Naruto almost jumped by the sound of his alarm. He hadn't slept well last night and the fact that he had to get up earlier for school didn't help. What did he do all night you'd ask? Thinking of another way to win over Sakura Haruno, the most beautiful and popular girl in the school, not to mention Naruto's kinder garden crush. Of course he thought of a way. He always did. Today at martial arts practice he would beat his biggest enemy and for long rival Sasuke Uchiha. She would be sooo impressed, that she'd jump right into Naruto's arms.

Yep, almost perfect plan. Almost. If we leave out the fact, that the girl of his dreams is madly in love with his mortal enemy and that there was no way to beat the almighty Uchiha, yeah, the plan could work. Sighing, Naruto dragged himself to the shower. Today was gonna be a shitty day.

Leaving the empty apartment was one of his least joy. Whenever he wasn't at school he'd go train or just wander around. Everything was better than the painfully lonely apartment. The unchangeable fact that he was an orphan was horribly reminded every time by his lone voice, echoing through the rooms, informing the small family portrait of his departure.

He had lost them 10 years ago.

The mafiosos.

The peaceful town of Konoha was attacked by the Akatsuki family. To prevent them from demolishing it to the ground, the mayor tried negotiating by offering great amount of money and some good property, but the greedy Zetsu wanted more. To save the town, the mayor challenged Zetsu to a live to dead fight. The winner would have taken all. Of course the Akatsuki leader wouldn't have known of the master skills the mayor had in stock and for more than 5 minutes the battle was seeing its end. But the sly Zetsu had some tricks up his sleeve. In the town he had already infiltrated some of his men, even the Uchiha family, to which the mayor had the most trust, were all down to the last traitors. The leader had instructed the Uchiha's eldest, Itachi, to find and bring the mayor's wife and six-year-old son. He brought them to the fighting sceen and treatend the mayor to surender the town as well as his own live. Desperate to save his family, the subduded man wrote a letter and later put a bullet throug his skull. Terified watched his wife and infanted son. But the heartless Akatsuki didn't stop there. He as well as some of his closest family members had abused the mother in front of little Naruto's eyes. After that Zetsu personaly slid her troat and trew her by the motionless body of her husband. Finally he had informed the little kid he would live, but as an outcast, not wanted and feared by the townspeople. The kid was left alone with his loved pearents dead. He had moved closer to them and pressed himself tightly to their bloody bodies. After endless hours of crying, Naruto heard footsteps and put his head up terrified by the thought of the bad men comming back to slaughter him. He then recognised the tall figure and pale eyes of the head of the Hyuuga family. He and a couple of his men came careing blankets. Hiashi picked Naruto up and hugged him tightly, promising everything would be alright.

And for a year it really was. Naruto would play with the Hyuuga kids, one of them a little weird, quiet and shy, but he liked them all. He even witnessed the birth of the youngest among them- Hanabi. But the crude Zetsu had other plans for Naruto. He had meant him to live in loneliness and isolation, but the Hyuuga head had not obeyed. As punishment he desided to kill Hiashi's bother and then wife, so that he himself could hate the little brat. Furious and broken-hearted, the Hyuuga head had driven little Naruto to the street, where the latter fought for his live with the furious and merciless townspeople as well as with the hungry dogs. And as soon as he was 10 he started looking for a job, to manage on anything else but leftovers. Barley he was permitted to preform heavy jobs, but he was happy to live fully.

Shaking his head to chase the memory away, Naruto bolted to school. His apartment was on the outskirts of town, so he had long way to go. He decided to take a shortcut through the forest. Passing the Hyuuga mansoin, Naruto couldn't help but remember the fun days with the family. Distracted by the recollections, Naruto noticed too late the small figure in front of him. His reactions were too slopy, to dodge. With a worrisome thud, he came face to face with glassed lavender eyes and mouth to mouth with soft lips. The both teens' eyes widened with shock and broke apart."Wa, my first kiss!" tought Naruto with regret, "it was reserved for Sakura-chan". The embarassing and akward silence was unbarable for Naruto and he had to apologize. With quick movement he was facing her and bowing his head low.

- I'm so so so sorry, please, forgive me. - no answer was heard. Naruto thought she had run, or maybe was too angry with him, or just still in shock. He looked up and saw her lying on the ground with tomato-red face. Naruto panicked, picked her up and ran as fast as he could to school. There the nurse would help. She had always treated Naruto, whenever he was injured or sick. In the hospital emphatically were refusing to take care of him. And furthermore the girl was wearing his school's uniform, so it would've been best for her to wake up in school. "I sure hope aunty wouldn't scold me for 'harassing' a girl". After 10 minutes of constant running Naruto was panting heavily in front of the nurse's office. He took two deep breaths and entered. Shizune was reading calmly her love roman and by her side on the table was steaming tea. She looked up from her book only to perk of the sight of Naruto holding an unconscious girl. And of course followed the:

- Oh my God, Naruto, what have you done to the girl?! On top of it all to the Hyuuga's eldest?

- Nothing! We encountered, and... something happened, and I didn't know what to do, and... did you say Hyuuga's eldest? - Finally Naruto took a good look at the girl. She looked different, more mature, with longer braided hair, glasses and... oh, those guys had grown up very big, but no doubt it was her. Hinata. The weird girl, that didn't talk with him much, but still he liked a lot. She was kind and a great listener. Oh, no! If the Hyuugas found out about their little "accident" they'd hunt him till the end of the Earth. Only the thought of their freaky white- lavender eyes glaring at him send chills down Naruto's spine. He had to wait for her waking up to apologize properly and beg not to tell anyone. The last thing he wanted was to upset more uncle Hiashi.

Although the Hyuuga had long disavowed Naruto, the teenager looked up to him and had deep respect thorwards him. He was more than thankful for the year he spend with the family. On top of it all, after banishing him, Hiashi had given him his current apartment. And Naruto could almost swear that the Hyuuga elder had been secretly helping him all those years with the jobs, school and so on. Deep in tough Naruto didn't hear the soft moan coming from Hinata, nor did he notice her opening her eyes.
