Everything was silent, nor the girls, nor the boy said anything.
"Hey you can go ahead and talk you know, I won't eat'cha."
A man with a line across his face came running at the girls, noticing him Naruto climbed up the tree faster then any squirrel.
"Girls what's going on, why are you screaming?" he asked, a little out of breath from the running.
The pink haired girl spoke "It was the f-" Hinata quickly covered her mouth with both hands.
"F-furry squirrel, she saw a squirrel and she was startled, she started to scream and that's why Ino and Tenten screamed too." She lied.
"ooh, Sakura, squirrels are nice animals there's no reason to be scared of them." Patting her pink head he walked away.
When the man was out of sight Naruto hopped from the tree "Whew, that's what I call a close call, pinky come here for a second." He said ushering Sakura to come to him.
He showed her his hand "do you see this hand?" she nodded.
"do you see these claws attached to this hand?" she nodded again inching away, feeling the storm coming.
"these claws can cut steel, if you ever tell anyone about me, I will track you down and imbed these claws into your face and several vital organs!" "Comprendé?"
She just squeaked and nodded her head "Good, by the way, same goes for you two blondie and bun-head."
"Naruto-kun, don't threaten them, you'll never make more friends if you act like that!" Hinata said angrily.
"I'm sorry Hinata-chan but I don't want the hunt to start early this month."
"Hmm?, Hinata, what does he mean with "the hunt" ?" Tenten asked.
"The villagers think Naruto is a demon so every month the council organises a five day during "demon hunt" the one that kills Naruto will be labelled a hero."
"But that's horrible! What kind of sick person would organise a regular man-hunt?" Sakura said.
"My point exactly, but if you go and blab the every person you meet that you know me, I'll just be in deeper shit, that's why I'm telling you this." The blond fox-boy said, taking a deep breath.
"IF YOU EVEN TELL ONE PERSON ABOUT ME I'LL RI P YOUR GODDAMN LIPS OFF!" his eyes flickered red for a moment.
"I get it, I get it, you don't have to yell." Sakura said covering her ears.
"Good, just so that we're clear."
The school bell rang
"Oh, recess is over, I'll see you tonight Naruto-kun" the lavender-eyed girl said.
"Seeya Hinata-chan" the boy said, he jumped up and disappeared to the rooftops.
"Hinata, bathroom, now!" the blond said dragging her along as she spoke.
"Tell me all about him." She demanded.
is he cute, is he mean, is he an idiot, is he you boyfriend?" the blond said, a sly grin on her face.
"well, I think he's kinda c-, no he's not mean he-, well he's not the brightest but-
WHAT? N-no he's not my b-b-boyfriend." The last question turned her face a deep crimson
"A-anyways, we should get t-to class." She said trying to escape from the bathroom which was beginning to feel more and more like an interrogation room.
"Oh no baby girl you're not squirming yourself out of this one." Sakura said grabbing her shoulder and pulling her back in.
"Girls really, there is nothing left to say." Hinata said to get them to let her go.
"Actually there is, do you love him?" Tenten said, grinning like a madman.
"I, uhm, I-I,…" with a face more red then a tomato, the purple haired girl fainted.
"I'll take that as a yes, how 'bout you guys?" the pink one said.
"Do I love him? (miss Hyuuga) I mean, I've known him for a long time (miss Hyuuga) but to think I actually would love him that's ab- MISS HYUUGA!" the scarred man shouted through the classroom, ripping Hinata from her thoughts.
"Miss hyuuga, since you have enough knowledge on this subject to be daydreaming, would you kindly come to the front of the class and tell me the two ways to escape from a genjutsu." The teacher said slightly agitated.
Hinata stood up and walked to the front of the class, head red as a tomato and fidgeting with her fingers.
"I, uhm, I don't kn-psst Hinata." Hinata looked into the class, a boy with marks on his cheeks gestured I various ways.
First he pointed at himself then slapped his own face.
"uhm, the first is, h-hurt yourself." She said hesitating.
"Good, and the second?" the teacher asked.
The boy pointed at the student next to him, then at himself, then he slapped his own face.
"A-and the second is getting another to hurt you."
"Very good Hinata, you may take your seat, an A for knowledge on genjutsu-escape.
Hinata quietly took her seat, mouthing the words "thank you" at the marked boy.
"don't mention it" he mouthed back.
-next day recess -
"Kiba-kun, thanks again, you really saved me."
"I didn't know we would get graded, my dad would kill me if I got an F." Hinata said to the marked boy named Kiba.
"Don't mention it Hinata, you owe me one though, hahahah" he said laughing wide mouthed, fangs shining in the sun.
"Sure, whatever you say-aaaaahh!" whilst Hinata was dragged away from Kiba by a pink and a blond haired girl, the bun haired girl spoke to him.
"Sorry Kiba, girl talk." And with that, she sped after the other three girls.
"Hinata you player!" the pink one said.
"yeah, who's next? Neji? Or maybe Sasuke?" the blond one filled her sentence.
"back off, Neji is mine." The bun-haired said
"First off, Neji is my cousin, get you minds out of the gutters, you pervs."
"Second, sasuke is gothic, and creepy." she said shuddering.
"Third, what are you guys talking about?" Hinata finished.
You got Naruto and now you're flirting with Kiba." Sakura said.
"What, Kiba? No, I was just thanking him for saving my butt yesterday."
"he said "you owe me one" don't you know boys will use that to get you to do ANYTHING they want." Ino said.
"Yeah, boys are jerks you know." Sakura filled in.
"and this is coming from who? The two girls so obsessed with a certain Goth-boy that they would jump of a cliff if he said he likes girls who do that."
"Do you really think Sasuke-kun likes cliff jumper-girls?" Sakura said.
"Oi, baka, don't change the subject." Tenten said smacking the back of her head.
"the point is, you are in no position to give me advise about boys, because you two are to oblivious to a boys feelings to notice that your so called true love, HATES YOUR STINKIN' GUTS!"she yelled, face turning read, but from anger this time.
"How you doin'! Now if you'll excuse me, the recess is almost over." Hinata said, walking away with her nose in the air.
The girls just stood there, shocked from the outburst of the normally so quiet girl.
Tenten broke the silence "Damn, you got served."
