A/N: I'm putting one up here for a reason, first off flamers, Don't care for you if you want to complain about an OC when the whole point of stories that are made up is to ether add a twist to said story or do whatever it is you choose with it, if your going to complain do it to someone who will actually give a damn, Second the reason its under Naruto/Hinata it will be the main romance but I'm building up to that for a reason, I mean damn the plot of my story is that friendship and love can conquer anything even such things as popularity. AGAIN if your going to complain do it to someone who WILL actually care I'm clarifying for that reason, and that reason alone I hate having to explain myself to such a degree its irritating also I just started the story so no way I can suddenly kill of the character do you realize how stupid that'd be? Obviously you don't (I'm referring to the first review I got) its this simple IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T READ AND DON'T FLAME IF YOUR NOT ACTUALLY GOING TO READ ETHER, Idiot Even if I keep getting negative reviews I'm going to keep writing for people who'd actually care even if they don't review not as a thank you for being kind and or acceptance just because I like writing and I like sharing such with people anyways On with the story dammit
They rushed off towards the plaza where they would be the only thing that kept Naruto going and not turning away was that he might get to see her, the girl he met all those years ago and yet never noticed her until it was too late, the one that got away would be the best way to put it, even if in this case he was just a bit of an idiot and was too dense, but now that he realized his feelings he, even if he didn't deserve the chance or she didn't feel that way now still wanted to tell her only problem would be Kiba.
"What do you plan to do about him?" Naruto asked
"You leave him and the rest of his friends to me just go for her" Kuro
Arriving at the mall complex which you could easily got lost in inside the mall even was more straight forward but with the people there it'd be easy to get lost Although it wasn't hard to find them at the food court messing around, Kiba had his arm slung around Hinata being as much of a cocky jerk as he could while Neji was sitting next to his athletic as he calls her acquaintance TenTen which she was leading in quite a few sports as well as archery and Neji strived for perfection.
Sasuke was being gawked at by Ino and Sakura who still kept trying to fight for his attention at times he'd turn to Sakura only for her to blush and for Ino to get jealous, He strived for perfection but in a different sense, he went for every sport just to be number one at it Neji went for one thing and stuck to that Marital arts happened to be what he was currently at while Sasuke currently since it was the beginning of the year was in football and as you could guess Ino and Sakura happened to be in cheerleading, Kiba thrived on physical sports football, and for club activities boxing kickboxing you name it Versatile he was but that wasn't going to stop Naruto from the one person who made his bleak life better, even if before he only thought of her as a friend, back then he was obsessed with Sakura simply because she gave him attention, negative attention but attention none the less, but when Sasuke came it all vanished he sulked because he lost the only person he liked even if it was a fabrication of mere childhood romance and the one person to actually comfort him in any sense was Hinata, he didn't think much of the shy girl, he wish he had now she was kind and was never mean or did him any wrong and she liked him for him even if he thought it was in the sense of friends but gradually he thought of her as more and hoped she thought of him as more, no he knew she did and he still believed she did even if he could be wrong…. He had to know
"You wait at the fountain but be sure that Hinata knows you're here I'll take care of the others."
"How, I mean their all here!"
Kuro smirked "How else?"
Naruto was visibly confused but didn't let it show and ran to the side around the group only catching the eye of said Hyuuga thinking on her toes she told them all she'd be going to check something and quickly followed after the blonde she always liked, even if now she was masking her feelings to this day even back then, while the group was bombarded by the loud enigma they know as the leader of the losers only because he wasn't a pushover, and the only reason Naruto was, was simple he'd been done wrong by people he only wanted friendship from, and while that was sapping away at his outside appearance his inner feelings had been crushed by Sakura and Hinata, even is Hinata never meant to do so it was only because he was conflicted by the fact the only girl he had any real conversation with that didn't involve getting hit or yelled at or called an idiot or loser was with a person who did treat him like he was nothing, but that didn't mean he'd give up on her if she treated him the same as everyone else she wouldn't have stuck up for him before he had to know why and if she still had feelings for him, if any.
Kuro approached only to hear laughing and finally someone in there crowd yelled out look what the crack whore dragged in which visibly made him tense but kept walking none the less when he arrived Neji and Kiba walked towards him with ether a smirk of supremacy or a look of annoyance ether way it wasn't going to end well, As he stood there in front of them he could tell a fight was going to ensue at the current rate of tension rising by his mere presence but he had to buy Naruto time, if he didn't what friend would he be?
"So the valiant loser returns only to be out numbered, where's the rest of the geek squad?" Kiba sneered few laughed ether out of fear or just because they had that much of a sense of humor but when he got no visible reaction from his prey he got annoyed
"What got nothing to say or do you want us to move aside so you can confess your love to Sasuke again?"
Unfortunately that did nothing again the only way you could tell he was getting mad was the way his fingers twitched as if wanting to feel his jaw dislocate under at the sheer force of him punching him.
"Or did you come here to beg for forgiveness for that Idiot trying to hit on my girl, although I can't totally complain I got a lot out of that!" He laughed loud with a bit of a perverted look about him, Kuro could tell this guy was a total alpha male the fact he'd pick someone as frail as Hinata must meant he wanted to break her to his every will, although she was kind and mainly did charity or anything that would help the community more than recreational activities it gave her more joy helping others than helping herself, it would be by her innocent, yet alluring figure or the grace of every step she took, but judging from the girls around them it had to be the body, otherwise it'd make no sense but even so this guy was asking for it, this guy doesn't deserve the chances he's been given and I think its only fair to say the only thing he deserved was a kick to the groin
"But that guy he's a total idiot to think she'd go for a guy like that, she needs someone who will put her in her place rather than tell her jokes or care about her feelings!" He said that as a joke but that was enough to set Kuro off, Naruto cared about people more so than himself he was only displaying a joking mask to hide his sadness the only one he had assumed to have dropped this mask to would be Hinata, and if he thought she wouldn't go for him, he was sadly mistaken, especially when a fist connected with his face the sheer force of it knocking him off guard but for Kuro it was like all his problems had been solved it was ether the adrenaline pumping through his body or just because it gave him reason not to think of anything else but he knew doing so would break out what he knew would end him in the hospital, if he was lucky.
Naruto didn't have to wait long for the Indigo haired girl to appear by his side, with a slightly pink blush on her face seeing the boy up close like this the clarity of his eyes and with the black chest tight shirt with light tan shorts brought out his eyes which didn't help her staring into them even more and her blush was quickly turning red with no intention of stopping till Naruto finally broke from her gaze and said something he shouldn't have
"Beautiful…." Naruto said in barely a whisper
Hinata barely caught the word being said due to her gazing into the deep blue eyes that to this day still captivated her, but her ears happened to hear the word and she was as red as a ripened tomato Naruto smiled like he did years ago, ether because it was cute or just because it was Hinata but ether way the tranquility of the moment was a bond that thought to have been severed had only grown stronger.
"Hinata, I want to ask you something" He said his voice starting to waver from embarrassment
Something in his voice made Hinata pay more attention, if that was even possible even just looking at him was normally all the attention she had even if they hadn't talked since well summer of last year this year things had changed and as much as she longed for it she couldn't she couldn't, no never had time to be near let alone talk to the boy she'd endured so much for, that she now more than ever loved talking to him now was honestly proof of that.
"Do you…."
Before he could answer he was cut off by a loud banging sound both of them turned and ran towards the sound (Smart eh?) only to see Sasuke and Kuro about to go at it Neji was still standing as well as Kiba but he finally had enough and was going to deal with it himself, Kiba turned and noticed Hinata extremely close to the blonde, and for him close was a mere eye glancing distance, extremely close was arms length he walked towards the two his face showing more than mere anger but Naruto stood his ground in front of the lavender eyed girl as if to protect her from his gaze his gaze filled with hate for the blonde, maybe because he knew how she felt about him before? Or because he was near his girlfriend ether way he knew what would be coming out of it.
"N-Naruto-kun what are you doing get away from here he'll hurt you!" She was sure to say it in a little more than a whisper but the way she said it proved she was worried about him he glanced back at her with a smile that she blushed at but he didn't move he was going to take the pain for her instead of him yelling at her although he may still do so later he wanted for once to protect her rather than the other way around, it was a way to prove that he wasn't some weakling, that he wasn't some loser that he could be something more than a form of entertainment, that he could protect and care and maybe even love someone rather then someone's punching bag.
"Naruto what are you doing get out of here I told you I'd take care of this" its exactly what Kuro's eyes told him, but the seriousness in Naruto's face told him that moving from that spot was something he wasn't going to do, He sprung into action to protect his friend getting Kiba into a head lock and really angering the feral boy Naruto took this as an opportunity hugged Hinata, like he hadn't done in a long while the sincerity of it was enough to make Hinata's heart skip a few beats even after the hug had ended and he ran off telling her that he'd see her tomorrow she still stood there as if in a trance Sakura and Ino readily tried to break her of, but the warmth that she held in her eyes and the blush that she had on her face basically told them that she wouldn't and didn't want to unless forced to, when Naruto finally got out of the mall Kuro made a run for it getting pelted in the legs and back a few times didn't stop him he ran until he finally got back to his apartment, when he unlocked the door he saw his roommate sitting with another highschool girl one he didn't know "thank god" He thought
"Oh your home I was wondering when you'd be back."
A/N: Next chapter will be foucusing on their living arangments and such, if people actually read this i'll be going back and forth between my two stories until i finish one or the other luckily i'm almost done with part one of the other so you won't be wating long but if i get flames like i did for my first review (Which i belive is sad) then i may take longer and work on the other story just depends on how i feel about it to be honest but as for now i'll be working on both so no need to worry, but I still don't see how having an OC in a story is even a bad thing to be honest, In this story Naruto isn't out going since well i basically explaned that, and my oc happeneds to be different he doesn't stand out but is exacly what naruto needs to become what he was in the actual story, and popularity does cause this, people who are treated bad even if they don't show it are suffering thats why naruto is a little quite if you will, or quite in his terms or well better yet actually worried of the out come of most things rather then just going with it, but it'll change but as i stated before flamers, you can try and annoy me but when you don't even have an account like some people its annoying If you want to critize have an account so people can actually respond to such idiocity its actually annoying rather than rant i'm just going to put that I have an oc in this story only like two if any more i'll have reviewers decide if i should have any more and, names and such (I like incorporating reviwers into my story it makes me feel all bubly in the pit of my non existant soul) lol Please R&R pl0x. Till next time AzureEnding
