Suteneko: So little reviews...
Sasuke: *rolls eyes* Of course you'll get little reviews! Who wants to read a story about a Hyuuga prodigy and a demon host cross-dresser? If I was the star then you'll have tons!
Suteneko: Oh just shut it Sasuke! *feels sad*
Why did I only get only 3 reviews?
Sasuke: Oh great...now she's going to become depressed. Terrific...
Hinata: Suteneko doesn't own Naruto!
Chapter 2
During recess
Hinata was just making her way to the playground when she heard someone yelling.
"Give us your bento Kyuubi brat!"
Hinata turned to see a group of three cornering a boy her age. He was shorter than her, had tanned skin, whisker marks on his cheeks, blonde hair and blue eyes. He was carrying a green backpack on his back. He looked scared.
"P-please l-eave m-me a-alone…" he begged.
The leader of the bullies just grinned, "Not until you give us your bento demon brat!"
"Demon brat?" Hinata wondered
"N-no! It's m-mine!"
Growling at his defiance, the leader then proceeded to land a hard hit on Naruto's face. When he did, a loud sickening crack was heard. It sounded like he had hurt his jaw. Naruto looked ready to fall over but the leader of the bullies and his two comrades continued to beat him senseless. Hinata had enough.
"Leave him alone now!"
Naruto's bullies turned to see a girl with short blue hair and pupiless lavender eyes. Her eyes were blazing with fury.
The leader of the bullies wasn't intimidated by her fierce demeanor and yelled at her, "Go away Hyuuga! This is between us and the demon brat! This doesn't concern you!"
Suddenly, Naruto had brought his hands to his mouth and started coughing up blood, scaring the bullies.
"Shit, we better go!" the young heiress heard the leader say before retreating with his friends.
Stupid punks…
Immediately, she ran to Naruto, "Are you okay?"
Naruto didn't answer; instead he started to sway back and forth before finally falling to the ground. Quickly, the young girl turned Naruto's body so she could look at him. She took her backpack off her shoulder and pulled out her handkerchief. With it, she gently cleaned off the blood that was on Naruto's chin.
Poor guy…
What on earth did he do to deserve this?
Remembering that he was punched earlier, she lifted her eyes to look at the blonde's face. She couldn't help but gasp at how bruised his face was.
I'll use my medical ninjutsu to help him.
Hinata closed her eyes and concentrated on her chakra. When she opened her eyes again, her hands glowed green. She lowered her hand to Naruto's face and focused her chakra to heal the poor boy. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the swelling of his face was going down. Now all that's left were just the shadows of the bruises he suffered.
"I wonder…why they were even calling him a demon?" she wondered aloud.
"Because of me"
She looked up and stared at the man that was sitting cross legged in front of her. He had sun-kissed skin, long crimson hair pulled into a ponytail at the nape of his neck and black slited crimson eyes. He was topless, showing a very well muscled chest. The only piece of clothing he had on was a pair of long black pants. He was also barefoot.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"The demon that is inside him." He told her, his eyes fixed on hers.
The girl's eyes widened, "So you're the reason he has to suffer like this?"
"I'm afraid yes, I am. They hate him because the Fourth Hokage sealed me inside him in order to stop me."
Hinata's mind that went into overdrive. It made sense, he had to carry such a burden on himself; the villagers regarded the poor boy as a monster and not the hero he should have been seen as. And obviously, they hated him so much that they convinced their children to bully him.
Poor guy…
Wait a minute…didn't the Fourth had tanned skin, blue eyes and blonde hair like him?
"Tell me…is he the son of the Fourth?"
The Kyuubi was surprised, the girl was smart.
"Yes" he answered finally.
"Makes sense, I don't think the Fourth would have chosen just anyone to be your host."
The demon fox raised an eyebrow. The girl definitely wasn't like normal kids her age. And that's when he noticed that she had the Hyuuga eyes.
"You're a Hyuuga?"
"Yes, I'm Hyuuga Hinata. The heiress of the Hyuuga clan."
"And I am Kyuubi"
Hinata was shocked, "The legendary King of all Bijuu? The Kyuubi no Yoko?"
The fox man smirked, "I see my reputation precedes me."
Recovering from her shock, she asked, "So the form you are in now is your human form?"
"Yes"
"So, what's his name?" she asked, pointing to Naruto.
Kyuubi frowned, "His name is Naruto Uzumaki"
Naruto Uzumaki...
"Why did you help my kit?" the demon man finally asked
"Kit? Is that what you call him?"
"Yes. Now answer my question little girl, why did you help him?"
"Because he was in trouble. Who could leave him in that kind of position?"
"Many have."
Hinata's face then scrunched up in disgust hearing that, "That's just disgusting…I can't believe in 6 years I'll actually become a ninja who has to sacrifice everything for a village filled with such horrible people."
Kyuubi raised an eyebrow, "So you're not afraid of him? Me?"
Hinata shook her head, "No. Since you're inside him, you can't harm anyone right? And he's innocent isn't he?"
"Yes"
"But I have to ask-"
"But?" he prompted
"Why did you even attack the village?"
"I was being controlled."
"By who?"
"A traitor of your village, Orochimaru. Have you heard of him?"
"THE Orochimaru? The Great Snake Sannin?"
Kyuubi frowned, "Remember well that he is a traitor little girl."
"I know, Kyuubi-san. I know. But I have another question. Why did the Fourth seal you into Naruto?"
"Because demons cannot be killed. You can only seal them into newborn babies. Which unluckily for Minato, his son had fit into the category."
"Another question, why didn't the Fourth let the Sandaime reveal that Naruto was his son? Wouldn't he have been better treated?"
"But he would have assassination attempts on him as well. Minato was greatly hated by Iwa for what happed in the last Shinobi War."
Hinata nodded and Kyuubi stared at her for a few minutes before speaking again.
"Can you promise me something?"
"Promise you what?"
"Promise me that you will become his friend. He needs one. You're not afraid of me like the other children, so you can befriend the boy."
Hinata smiled then, "I will. I promise."
Before Kyuubi could say anything else, he and Hinata noticed Naruto move slightly.
"Looks like I have to go now. But remember little girl, you must never tell anyone including Naruto himself that you know of me residing in him or the fact that his father was the Fourth. Do you understand?"
"Yes"
"Good, them I'll be off then."
What he did next, had surprised the blue-haired girl. Kyuubi put a hand on her head and ruffled her hair, "I know you and my kit will be good friends. I'll see you again soon Hinata."
Hinata was so awestruck by what happened that she didn't realize that Kyuubi had already disappeared and Naruto was sitting up, groaning a bit.
"Damn, that hurt like hell."
Hinata blinked her eyes in surprise when she heard him speak.
He didn't stutter?
Maybe he only does that when he's scared?
"You alright Naruto?"
The blue haired boy turned to see the pretty girl from before who had tried to help him. She had porcelain doll skin, blue hair and pupiless lavender eyes.
"How do you know my name?"
Hinata hesitated then, after all it was the Kyuubi who told her his name.
"Never mind, it doesn't matter. So what's your name? You're a Hyuuga right?"
"Hinata. Hinata Hyuuga."
"Well then, Hinata-san" Naruto said as got up from his spot on the floor, wincing as he went "Thanks for trying to help me, that was nice of you. Nobody has before."
Hinata just smiled "Don't worry about it but Naruto, do you want to go the infirmary? You just coughed up blood. It's best if you let the medic nin runs a check on you."
Naruto looked back at her and smiled, "Nah its okay, my wounds heal real fast!"
Because of the Kyuubi?
Maybe it's his own way of helping the boy…
"Hinata-san! HINATA-SAN!"
Hinata snapped out of her daze, "Ah sorry, I was lost in my own thoughts."
Naruto just smiled and held out his hand. Hinata smiled and took it. Naruto then helped her back on her feet.
"Thanks"
"Your welcome"
Then the bell rang and the two 6 years old stared at each other in horror.
"Aw crap!" Naruto cursed "Iruka sensei is gonna kill me if I'm late!"
Immediately Hinata grabbed his hand, "Then, let's run there!"
Naruto grinned and together, the two children ran their way to the classroom, holding hands.
Suteneko: Yay! That made me feel better!
Sasuke: Until she later receives the e-mail which says she only got one review...
Suteneko: *tears form in her eyes*
Naruto: *punches Sasuke* TEME! DON'T MAKE GIRLS CRY YOU BASTARD!
