A/N: Hey everybody! Got some awesome reviews on the first chapter (surprised I got any at all…) so I decided to get on with it already and upload the next chapter sooner than I had originally planned for all of those waiting out there. I actually was going to go straight from Chapter 1 to what is now going to be Chapter 3, but I decided to add in this chapter, to make things a little more interesting. Keep those reviews coming! Thanks!
(Oh, and by the way, something I learned from typing the first chapter; on Microsoft Word, Hinata is listed as a spelling error, but Hina6taq is totally fine… umm, wth? o.0)
He had warned her constantly about the dangers of "that Uzumaki boy", as her father called him. She had once asked him why he was so dangerous, and he simply scoffed at her and continued on with his lecture. He had told her to stay away from Naruto, for her own good. And yet, here she was, at the front doors of Konoha Daycare, same as everyday, even though she knew Naruto worked here. It's not like it was a big deal or anything. She never even talked to him anyways. Besides, how dangerous could he really be?
She stepped through the front doors and made sure Hanabi checked in. As she was leaving, she looked back, and saw Naruto. He was reading a book about a ballerina with magical slippers to a little girl who was half asleep.
'Why does father hate him so much? How can he possibly be so dangerous?' Hinata thought. Then again, she wasn't even sure why she cared about the whole situation. She didn't even care about him, and as far as she was concerned, he didn't care about her. They were two completely different people from two completely different worlds. She was so caught up in thought that as she turned the corner, she bumped into someone, and she let out a startled yelp.
"O-Oh! I'm sorry!!" Hinata apologized. She looked up and saw her fellow team member, Kiba Inuzuka.
"Eh, no big deal. I shoulda paid more attention to where I was going," Kiba said. "Oh! Hey Hinata, I didn't even realize it was you at first! Well, I gotta get going! I'll see you later!" he said.
He began to run off in the other direction, but Hinata turned around.
"K-Kiba!" she shouted after him. Kiba stopped and turned around.
"Yeah, Hinata?" he said.
"U-um, I was wondering… well, actually… D-do you know why everyone is so afraid of Naruto, and why they always have to isolate him from everyone else?" Hinata asked.
'Damn,' Kiba thought. 'Why's she so concerned about Naruto?'
"Well, Hinata… you see… well to be completely honest, I'm not really sure," Kiba chuckled. Of course, he did know, practically everyone in the village knew, but there was no reason she needed to get involved with him, and the less she knew, the better.
"A-alright… thanks anyways, Kiba," Hinata said.
"Sure! No problem. I'll see you later Hinata!" Kiba said as he ran off.
Hinata walked home and went straight up to her room. She jumped face-first onto her bed, burying her face in the pillows. She needed some time to think about this Uzumaki boy who was plaguing her thoughts. Maybe a nap would help relax her and relieve all of this head-ache inducing confusion. As she drifted off to sleep, she thought of Naruto surrounded by all of the smiling, laughing kids, and she couldn't help but smile.
A/N: Sorry 'bout this short/crappy chapter, but I think it's kind of necessary for foreshadowing NaruHina action, and also some drama with Kiba. Don't worry, I already have the next chapter done, I just have to type it. 'Till next time!
