Chapter 2: Flowers.

"You God damn idiot!" She yelled loudly. That voice was unmistakable, and the fact that I could pick it up just by her yelling make it solid. "Do you know what you've done? I can't believe you Kiba! This is just stupid, even for you!" Maybe if I rolled over and smothered myself to sleep it would all go away?

"Shut the hell up Ino! You have no idea what's going on, and as usual you just jump right into other peoples business!" Kiba yelled back. Well I'm up now, might as well go break it up. A loud smack echoed threw my house. "Jesus what is your problem!" he yelled.

"What is going on here!?" I yelled.

"She friggin hit me!" Kiba yelled. "I'm outta here!" he stormed out of my apartment. Ino turned toward me and smiled. Sometimes she really scared me with her explosion of emotions.

"Morning Naruto!" She yelled.

"Morning…" I said stretching.

"Sorry for waking you up so early, but I had to talk to the stupid dog boy." She put her hands on her hips. "Can you believe what that idiot did? The nerve."

Damn it…I really don't want to get into this. "He has his reasons Ino."

"Not good ones for sure. I'm sure you wouldn't have done that to Hinata."

"No, I wouldn't."

"Let me ask you, why didn't you date her anyways? You're a great guy. You can be annoying sometimes though, and all that orange…plus you're a bit of a loud mouth…"

"I'm a loud mouth!?" I exclaimed. "Look, I didn't date her because…I feel as though we're better friends."

"Uh huh." She turned away and walked into my kitchen. "What do you got to eat in this place?" she began to rummage through my fridge.

"Nothing I'm sure." I walked over to the fridge, eying both the food and Ino from the corner of my eye. I had to admit, even with that incredibly annoying mouth and the matching attitude, she was actually a great person deep down... and had an amazing body.

"Naruto what are you looking at?" Crap she caught me. My heart rate increased.

"What?" Playing dumb might just save me…

She closed the door and looked at me. "Naruto…" She backed me up against my counter with her beautiful body. No no, can't think like that…bad things will happen. "I saw you check me out."

I gulped hard. "W-What." I couldn't think. It was too early in the morning and my brain hasn't had a chance to settle yet. "I…I wasn't uh…" My eyes began to dart around my kitchen and she played a little "Cat and Mouse" with my eyes.

Ino began to laugh. "You're too easy Naruto." Oh thank god she stopped, my heart was on its way out of chest. "Go shower quickly and I'll make you some breakfast."

I couldn't argue. I smelled like last night and I was pretty hungry. Besides, when does stuff like this happen? "Sure…umm thank you."

She waved her hand, dismissing my thanks. "Don't sweat it. I kinda broke into your house and started yelling anyhow." She turned toward me and smiled. "Go, hurry and shower."

I would never admit this out loud, but she was walking so close to me I couldn't concentrate. "Uh huh. Yeah me too. Ha ha wow, really?" were the only three responses my mind could put together. I felt like a kid again, except this time around I wouldn't mind her cooties. Regardless, she walked and talked, I followed and smiled as we made our way too…wait where are we going? All she said was she was taking me out. Crap, why is this happening to me?

"Naruto are you even listening?"She asked.

"Of course."

"Mm Hmm, I bet." She turned and stood in front of me. "We're going to see Hinata. I didn't tell you earlier because I wasn't sure how you would react exactly. You need to talker to her, I feel like you're the only one who can."

"What makes you think that?" Honestly, who am I to her? I see her a few times a week but mostly through Kiba, and things haven't been the same since…well since I wouldn't return her feelings. I've never seen her so hurt before, it absolutely destroyed me on the inside.

Ino stood infront of the gate that led into the Hyuuga compound, yelling.

"Hey! Hinata! Hello!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. "Naruto help me out here."

I shook my head. "No way. I'm not gonna sit out here and scream like a lunatic."

The sound of feet landing above us cut our conversation. He stood there with his green spandex and giant smile.

"Naruto! Ino! How are we this wonderful fall day!"

Ino laughed at him, "Hi there Lee."

"Hey Lee, why are you here?"

He jumped down in front of us. "I came to training with Neji and Ten Ten. Though Ten Ten spent most of her time with Hinata. Do you know what's wrong with her?"

"Oh! I know exactly what happened! That stupid moron Ki -" I threw my hands over Ino's mouth. There was no need to drag another into this mess.

"Hinata and Kiba are having a little argument, we came here to talk."

Lee sat there with a worried face. "Oh. Well I hope things turn out for the best. Follow me I'll take you to her."

If Lee wasn't here to show us around the house, I don't know where we would have ended up. The Hyuuga household was a masterpiece for lack of a better word. Stairs that seemed both hundreds of feet wide and long stretched out in front of us and all around. Doors with wonderful designs littered the walls, along with pictures of what must have been past Main Branch family members, and all kinds of fancy vases and other bits of artwork. All very expensive. God I can't imagine breaking something here…I wouldn't make it out alive.

"This place…is insane…" I mumbled.

"I felt the same way when Hinata first invited me over." Ino giggled. "Lucky for you, Lee and I are here. I'm sure, like me he had to figure this out on our own." Lee laughed in agreement.

Lee finally stopped at a pair of stairs that split off in two directions. He smiled and pointed to the left.

"Hinata should be in there. I'm going to see Neji now, good bye." He turned and walked off.

Ino pulled me along up to Hinata's bedroom, but before we could even knock Hinata was on her way out. There stood Hinata, my broken girl. Sounded a bit possessive I know. And when I say broken, I don't mean in the sense that she needed to be fixed, but because of the strife she's had to endure her entire life. People thought of her to be weak and useless but she wasn't, she didn't care though, she went on smiling out to prove that she'll never be Neji or Hanabi, but herself. Her smiles, her strength, her heart…she'll always be my broken girl. She forced a fake smile but her puffy eyes gave her away.

Oh Hinata…what has he done to you…
