AN: Well hello everyone again. For some reason i feel really motivated to continue writing this story... I honestly have no idea why.
Anyway, i jsut wanted to remind everyone that all characters in this fic will be OC in nature. There will be SOME resemblances between characters, but for all intents and purposes just image what the characters look like, then just put the personality of the character in the fic. This will take some getting used to, but as many of you discovered the characters are WAY different from the canon.
Also, this is NOT a harem story... so sorry everyone who was looking forward to that aspect...
Remeber, these characters LOOK the same but dont ACT the same. Clearing that up.
Also, people who are easily offended, by either language or the content of this story, please dont read it. This is a NARU/HINA fic, so if they are siblings, well you guys do the math.
disclaimer: I dont own Naruto
Chapter 2
Naruto was walking down the road alone on his way to school. When he went over to see if Sakura wanted to go, she wasn't ready yet, so he went alone. He didn't mind too much, he was still freaked out about his strange dream the night prior, and he was pretty shaken up. He was disgusted with himself that he could even think those kinds of things, even if it was subconsciously. The only thing that could take his mind off it was being on his phone absentmindedly.
"Hey Namikaze."
Naruto froze and turned around to see Lee, the boy her met the previous day. "Hey, good morning."
The pair started walking again in silence until Lee looked at Naruto's phone. "Oh wow! I should have guessed a city kid like you would have a cool cell phone!"
Naruto arched an eyebrow at Lee. "A city kid like me?"
Lee looked up at the sky. "Well, it's just that radio waves have only recently come out here, in fact, I'm pretty much the only one around who has a working radio!"
Naruto looked back down at his phone, glad Lee wasn't trying to start a fight. "I see…"
Lee mentally sighed and looked down at Naruto's phone again. "So, what are you doing? Sending a text? I hear that is what most people do now with those things…"
Naruto shook his head. "Nah, I'm checking the supermarket's website for deals. Hinata keeps bugging me to do it."
Lee got a smirk on his face. "Ohhhh? So your sister's name is Hinata-chan?"
Naruto chuckled. "So that is what you were interested in huh?"
Lee rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Maybe… Well then, if we're gonna be friends mind if I call you by your first name? Surnames are kinda a little formal for me…"
Naruto shook his head. "Go for it."
Lee jumped in front of him and gave him a thumbs-up pose. "GREAT! Thanks Nar-, HEY! SAKURA! What are you doing all the way back there?"
Naruto stopped and looked over his shoulder to see Sakura standing a ways behind them waving nervously.
'Dammit! I completely forgot I promised to walk her to school today! This stupid dream has me going crazy; I just have to put it out of my head.'
When Sakura caught up with them Naruto bowed low. "Gomen Sakura, I had a terrible morning and I forgot about my promise to walk with you to school."
Sakura laughed nervously. "Don't worry about it Naruto, I had a crazy morning too, it isn't that big of a deal…"
Naruto looked up. "You sure?"
Sakura nodded, and Lee threw his arms around them both. "GREAT! Now, let's get to school, if we wait any longer we're going to be late!"
The trio began their trek and talked about unimportant things like rumors around school and what kinds of school trips they would be taking this year. Somehow, they got on the topic of Naruto's twin sister, something he had been trying to avoid.
Sakura quirked her head towards Naruto. "So… Hinata-chan is going to be coming to school anytime soon huh?"
Naruto nodded. "Yeah, honestly it takes a lot off me. Won't have to worry about her home alone anymore."
"Can she sew on the buttons?"
Naruto arched an eyebrow. "Buttons? Like on the top? Wouldn't they already come pre-sewed?"
Sakura shook her head. "No, this school used to be a traditional all-girls school focused on domestic working conditions. It's sorta like a tradition here. By taking the time to sew the buttons herself, the student makes a commitment to her school and forms a bond with her fellow students or something like that."
Naruto looked at the ground and kicked some dirt. "Crap, Hinata can't do that kind of thing… What should I do?"
"Oi, Naruto!"
Naruto lifted his head to see Ayame waving at him. Next to her was Ino and a girl that sat in front of him named Shion, though she didn't talk to him too much his first few days.
"Hey Ayame, Ino, Shion, how's it going?"
She smiled brightly. "Great! Shion-chan and I actually just got here earlier in her fancy car!"
Naruto looked confused. "Shion picked you up? Do you guys live close to one another or something?"
Ayame laughed. "Kinda, she just snatches me some mornings.
Shion turned to the laughing brunette. "Hey, I didn't 'snatch you'. That makes me sound immoral or something; people might get the wrong idea!"
Naruto smiled. "Well, no matter. It sounds like you too are really close."
Ayame lunged at Shion and wrapped her in a bear hug. "Nah, not really!"
The group chuckled at her joke and walked inside the school building.
Hinata was looking out the window with a blank expression on her face. She watched the clouds roll by and sniffed at the fresh air of the countryside. With a sigh she fell back on her bed, eyes half closed.
It was like this every day, home alone with nothing to do and no one to visit. Sure she wasn't exactly the most outgoing girl, but she still had a few friends from back home, and now she was forced to live out in the middle of nowhere. The only thing she had to look forward to was school, but she still had to wait on her uniform to arrive and even then she wasn't exactly excited about going to school, no matter how bored she was.
She threw her legs over the bed and walked out to the kitchen with the same bored expression. She grabbed a bag of chips and walked over to the table with her phone, one of the only things to do for entertainment since they couldn't afford a television.
She clapped her hands together sarcastically. "Thank me for the meal."
She just stared at the table for a good while after she finished her snack. With a sigh she pushed herself up from the table and walked over to her room, intent on taking a nap.
Before she got to her room she noticed her brother's door was ajar, and with nothing else to do she opened the sliding door and walked in. She was honestly surprised how neat it was, all the clothes were put away, there wasn't any trash on the floor, and his futon bed was made nicely.
She walked over to his futon and laid down on it, hugging his pillow close to her face and inhaling deeply, slowly drifting off to sleep.
"Come on, it's been 10 days already…"
Naruto put on his last shoe and sighed. "Just give it some more time ok?"
Hinata narrowed her eyes at her brother's back. "That's what you said yesterday too."
Naruto grabbed his bag and opened the front door. "It won't come any faster if you ask every day, just be a little more patient ok?"
Hinata turned on her heel and walked away. "Whatever."
Naruto sighed and walked out the door, locking it before he walked down the street.
Before he could take a step he heard a blood curdling scream from inside the house. Naruto's heart sank as multiple horrible images flashed through his head on what could make his sister scream like that.
"HINATA!"
He fiddled with his keys as he tried to unlock the door, and heard his sister's yelling from inside. "No! Go away!"
He burst through the door and ran down the hall till her got to her room a little short of breath. When he threw open the door he saw his sister on her bed with what looked like a can of hair spray trying to fend off a mosquito.
"Go AWAY!"
She jumped off her bed and ran to her door and latched herself onto her brother's shirt still in hysterics.
Naruto tried to push Hinata away a bit. "Wait, Hinata, what happened?"
Hinata pushed herself back into Naruto. "There's a mosquito! I sprayed it so why won't it die!?"
Naruto chuckled. "Well I don't think it works well with hair spray…"
Hinata pushed against her brother some more. "I don't care! Just kill it!"
Naruto sighed and once again tried to remove his little sister. "Then stop sticking to me…"
Hinata pushed back again. "I can't if the mosquito is still there!"
Naruto tried to argue with the unreasonable Hinata. "But then I can't kill the mos-"
Hinata pushed herself square against him. "I can't!"
Naruto's eyes shot open when he felt Hinata's chest mash into his, causing a blush to spread across his face. "H-Hinata. Y-You're too close."
He forcefully pulled Hinata off him. "There. Now, I'll take care of the bug and then I have to get to school. Now I'll be late."
Naruto walked into the room and missed the disappointed look the blue-haired girl behind him was shooting at his back.
Lee walked into the classroom and threw his bag at his desk, and it amazingly landed square on the tabletop.
Naruto had his head down on his desk and spared a glance at his friend. "Nice shot…"
Lee plopped himself down on the desk in front of his blonde friend. "What's got you down Naruto?"
Naruto closed his eyes. "I think I used more energy than I should have this morning…"
He felt a pair of hands on his shoulders pull him up to an upright position. He looked over his shoulder and saw Ayame kneading his back.
"You're right! Your back is as stiff as a board!"
Shion stepped into the room and walked over to the group. "Ayame, stop being overly friendly with him. You're probably making him uncomfortable."
A content smile formed on Naruto's face and he melted down against his desk. "But it feels really good…"
Ayame lit up. "Doesn't it!?"
Lee chuckled. "She's been working down at the spa in town for a little while now, so she is pretty good. I have her massage my back after track practice sometimes. You wouldn't believe how much strain running puts on your back, most people just think it's your legs but it's really a whole range of-"
Naruto stopped listening to Lee's rant and just enjoyed the sensation on his back. One thing he learned about Lee was that he was a sports nut. Not just a single sport either, he knows pretty much everything about anything that could even remotely have the label of a 'sport'.
Naruto opened his eyes when he was tapped on the head. He looked up at Lee. "Yeah, what is it?"
Lee pouted. "You didn't hear a single thing I said did you?"
Naruto chuckled. "Sorry, I am pretty tired this morning; I was late so I had to run all the way to school."
Lee arched an eyebrow. "Why were you so late?"
Naruto sighed and began to recount the events of the morning, leaving out some of the more embarrassing details.
At the end Lee was laughing hard. "Well that's a bummer since they are going to be swarming soon."
Naruto shot up. "What do you mean? They shouldn't really be around for another month or so?"
Lee laughed and patted Naruto's back. "In the city maybe, but out here in the country they tend to come out much earlier, so you better buy some mosquito nets before they're all gone."
Naruto banged his head on the desk. "Great… And here I thought I was going to have enough money for the month."
Lee flexed his arm. "If you are worried about Hinata-chan, then I would be more than willing to protect her!"
Naruto chuckled. "I think that would worry me more than a mosquito…"
Ayame stopped the massage and Naruto turned around with a pouty look on his face. "Well, I have some mosquito nets at my house if you want to come over and grab a few…"
Shion stood up at her desk. "Then I'll go with you-"
She stopped when she noticed they were all staring at her. She looked away and crossed her arms over her chest with a slight blush before continuing. "Well, it's against school rules for a guy and a girl to walk alone together."
Lee leaned back in his chair. "Huh? But no one has followed that rule for what, the past 30 years or so? And since when did you become such a stickler for the rules anyway?"
He shot forward in his seat with a mischievous look on his face. "Ohhhh! Could it be that you like Naruto over here?"
Naruto gaped at Lee. "Ehhhh?"
Shion narrowed her eyes at Lee and tried to hide her flushed face. "No! Why do you always go to that!?"
Lee smirked. "Then why do you want to go with them?"
There was an awkward few seconds before Ayame got between them. "Well, anyway, it doesn't matter! She is more than welcome to come with us, right Naruto?"
Shion sat back down with a frown on her face. "Never mind, I remembered that I have to do something after school anyways."
Naruto sighed and put his head back on his desk. 'I think it might have been less stressful at home…'
Hinata was lying on her bed looking outside while the sky grew darker. She brought her phone above her face and looked at the screen.
Namikaze, Naruto
Dial this number?
She hesitated and with a sigh clicked 'no'. She was about to throw her phone on the bed but she heard in ring. In a flash she had it above her again and was reading the new message.
From: Namikaze, Naruto
Hey, I'm going to be going over to a friend's house after school to pick up some mosquito nets, so I'll be a little late tonight. You can go ahead and eat without me if you get hungry. I'll be home as quickly as I can.
-NN
Hinata scowled at her phone and threw it randomly on her bed. She turned to face the wall and closed her eyes to drift into an angry sleep.
Naruto was walking down the road with a handbag will of mosquito netting. He was surprised that Ayame's parents were fine with giving them so much without asking for anything in return. When he tried to pay for them they simply said that 'Your parents have done so much for us, it would be shameful not to at least help you with this.'
Naruto was touched at their generosity, and he vowed to repay them someday, though in the back of his mind he knew they would never accept his money.
When he was walking down the road to his home an expensive looking black car pulled up next to him, the same black car that passed him when he first moved to the country.
When the window rolled down he saw Shion sitting inside. "Good timing Naruto."
Naruto blinked. "Oh, hey Shion-san. What's up?"
Shion held her cell phone up. "I was just about to call you. Need a ride home? I'm already heading that way."
Naruto shrugged with a grin on his face. "Sure, thanks Shion!"
When Naruto got into the car he noticed that the interior showed that the car was even more expensive than he first thought. He looked at Shion and wondered who her family was and why they would be living out here if they were so wealthy.
"So, Naruto, I have your sister's uniform for you."
Naruto shook himself out of his thoughts. "You do?"
Shion nodded. "Yeah, I was looking for some clothes that I ordered and I noticed that there was another uniform there with your last name on it, so I just assumed that I was your sisters and was going to drop it off for you… I overstepped my boundaries didn't I?"
Naruto shook his head. "Not at all! In fact this is even better, now Hinata can come to school tomorrow, thanks Shion!"
The pale blonde girl smiled. "Oh good, I thought you might be upset or something…"
Naruto laughed. "Why would I be upset? You saved me a tried back to the school and you gave me a ride home, if I got upset with that then I would have to kick my own butt."
Shion giggled. "Thanks, and if you want me to I could sew the buttons on her uniform for her. I heard Sakura mention that you were worried Hinata wouldn't be able to."
Naruto shook his head. "I don't think I could ask for that much from you…"
Shion cut him off before he could say more. "It's ok Naruto, I don't have anything planned for this evening, and I want to help out a friend!"
Naruto sighed. "Well, I guess I can't argue with a pretty girl. Thanks a bunch Shion."
Shion turned her head to hide her red face and nodded her head in response.
A few minutes later they pulled up to the Namikaze house, and the driver opened Shion's door for her.
"Shion-sama, do you require anything else?"
Shion shook her head. "Thank you Taruho, but that will be all. I will call you when I am ready to be picked up."
The driver bowed low and got back into the car.
Naruto watched the conversation in awe. "Wow, I guess you really are a princess aren't you? Should I start calling you Shion-hime then?"
Shion smiled. "Only if you let me call you Naruto-kun."
Naruto's joking face became serious and he got flustered. "Uhhh, uh, why don't we go inside then?"
Shion giggled and walked towards the door, unaware that a certain blue-haired girl and watched the whole encounter.
Shion and Naruto were sitting in the kitchen. Naruto was cooking dinner while Shion was finishing up Hinata's uniform, and all the while the two were talking and joking.
"You know, it's weird. I haven't seen Hinata yet. She's usually here when I get back."
Shion looked up. "Is she ok?"
Naruto shrugged. "I don't know, I'll be right back. I'm going to go check on her."
Naruto could have sworn he heard someone walking quickly down the hall as he went to exit the kitchen. When he reached Hinata's room he opened it a crack and saw her sleeping peacefully on her bed. Naruto sighed and slowly closed the door.
When Hinata heard the door close she opened her eyes and turned towards the door to see if anyone was in the room. She was glad there wasn't.
"That was close…"
Naruto was back in the kitchen watching Shion put the finishing touches on Hinata's uniform, waiting for some of the food to finish cooking.
"You know, I was joking earlier about the whole princess thing, but now I think it actually fits."
Shion arched her eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Naruto scratched the back of his head. "Well… how can I put this… you look, well, I guess elegant would be the right word here?"
Shion giggled. "Um, thanks?"
Naruto sighed in frustration and went back to make sure the food wasn't burning, just as Shion was finishing up. Naruto turned off the heat and let the food cool.
When Shion handed him the uniform he was wide eyed with surprise. "Wow… this is amazing! It's like it was professionally done!"
Shion blushed and looked down at the floor. "Thank you Naruto…-kun."
Naruto was too lost in appraising the outfit to notice the suffix to his name. "Hey Shion, since its already late do you want to stay for dinner? You know, as sort of a thank you for everything?"
Shion hesitated. "I would love to Naruto, but… I have to get home… My parents are going to be wondering where I am and I called the driver a little while ago… Sorry"
Naruto shook his head. "Nah, its ok. I just thought I could use this as a thank you. Anyway, I'll walk you out then."
Outside the kitchen someone was listening in on their conversation with balled fists and an angry glare.
"Here, your uniform came in today! You want to try it on and make sure it fits?"
Hinata had her legs curled up to her chest and was glaring down at her feet. "That's fine. I'll just try it on tomorrow."
Naruto looked deflated. "I thought that you would be happy…"
Hinata turned her head away from him. "Shut up. Just go away."
Naruto flinched. "Ok, I guess I'll just leave it here then. Dinner's out in the kitchen if you're hungry. I'll see you tomorrow."
Naruto walked out of the room with a sad look on his face while Hinata turned on her side away from him.
Hinata was lying awake surrounded by a protective mosquito net. She looked over at her new school uniform on a stool by the door folded up neatly. She sighed and got out her bed, opening her door and walking down the hall towards Naruto's room.
She cracked the door open and immediately heard the buzzing of mosquitos in the room. She looked down and saw her brother in a fitful sleep, mostly due to the fact there were so many bugs on him. He tossed and turned, and the longer Hinata watched the more her guilt grew until she couldn't take it anymore and closed the door.
She walked back to her room and got into her protected bed feeling terrible.
Hinata stood in front of the mirror in her room wearing her new school outfit. She decided to just keep her hair the same and let it fall down her back naturally since she was never the type of girl to primp herself every morning. The outfit itself was a brown skirt with a white top. There was some brown fabric outlining the shirt itself to differentiate it from the males, but other than that it was pretty plain.
Hinata could almost laugh at it. 'All this trouble just for a simple outfit like this?'
"I think it looks good."
Hinata turned around to see Naruto leaning against her doorframe with a smile on his face.
"It really suits you!"
Hinata smiled and looked down at the ground. "You think?"
Naruto nodded. "Of course, you know I wouldn't lie to you. Now we should get moving before it gets too late. I have our lunches made already."
Naruto walked out the door and didn't see the massive blush spread across Hinata's face.
They walked down the road and for the most part it was quiet. The morning birds were chirping and there weren't any cars on the road to derail the good mood, but that didn't mean they were alone.
"WOW!"
Naruto and Hinata stopped and looked back to see Lee in full sprint. Hinata started moving behind Naruto when she saw he was heading right for her.
Naruto sighed. "Hinata, this is Lee, the guy in my class I told you about."
Lee gave a thumbs-up pose. "Yes! I am Lee, that really good looking guy he told you about! Ask me for any favor that doesn't involve the use of my brain, and I shall be there to help!"
Naruto looked over his shoulder to see Hinata trying to hide behind him. "Lee, knock it off with the jokes, you're scaring her."
Lee looked over his shoulder at Hinata. "Oh, you don't have to be shy Hinata-chan!"
Naruto chuckled. "Anyone would be freaked out if someone was that energetic towards them."
Lee laughed and the three started walking towards their school building, with Hinata standing a little behind Naruto to shield her from the strange boy.
"So Naruto…"
"What is it Lee?"
"Lee jumped in front of Naruto with a dead serious expression. "There is a very important issue I must discuss with you."
Naruto started sweating a bit. "Uhhhhh… sure Lee… What is it?"
Lee extended a finger to the blue-haired girl behind Naruto. "Where is Hinata-chan's seat going to be?"
Naruto sighed and walked past Lee with his sister in tow with a horrified look on her face, and after a few seconds of pouting Lee rejoined them. "You know, I think the best seat for her would be diagonally in front of me to my right. That way I could watch her all day!"
Naruto closed his eyes. "Never."
Lee blinked. "But why not man!?"
Naruto put on an agitated expression. "I don't like the sound of it."
Lee adopted a 'mock hurt' face. "You don't trust me Naruto…"
Naruto chuckled. "Nope. Besides she isn't even in our class."
Hinata just had a smile on her face the whole time she was next to Naruto.
Hinata stood at the front of the classroom with a very bored expression.
"I am Namikaze Hinata."
The teacher Iruka walked over to his desk and took out some chalk to start the day.
"Good name. Plain and simple. You may take a seat near the back by the window so we can get started."
Hinata sighed and walked over to the seat, dropping her bag and propping her head up to look out the window.
At that same time in another classroom Naruto was also looking out the window, already bored with the lesson and just enjoying the peace. Unfortunately this peace was not to last.
"I GOT IT!"
Naruto almost jumped out of his seat. "Got what Lee?"
Lee turned around with a huge grin. "Today we are cleaning the pool outside for PE! And it's Co-ed so all the girls will be in their swimsuits!"
There was a small "Eep" from in front of Lee where Shion was sitting.
Lee got a strange look in his eye. "I can't wait to see Hinata-chan in a swimsuit!"
Naruto sighed and went to looking back out the window. 'This is going to be a long day…'
Naruto and his class were busy scrubbing the bottom of the pool with large push brooms outside of the school building.
Naruto was just trying to get through the day when he overheard Ayame and Ino start talking.
"Hey Ayame, where is Shion?"
Ayame shrugged her shoulders. "Dunno, she said she forgot her swimsuit or something. It's weird, she usually is really good about these kinds of things."
Ino looked confused. "Yeah, that is weird."
Meanwhile Naruto was finishing up his section when he ran into Lee who was spacing out.
An aggravated tic formed on Naruto's forehead. "Oi Lee, you better start helping out."
Lee turned around with an apologetic smile. "Sorry Naruto, I'm just excited to see Hinata-chan."
Naruto narrowed his eyes at his friend. "If you do something to Hinata I'm going to shove this broom right up your-"
Lee cut him off. "There she is!"
Naruto looked up from the bottom of the pool to see a midnight-blue haired girl wearing a small pair of shorts that stopped mid-thigh and a shirt that was clearly a size too small for her. She was currently trying to pull down the shirt for more room while sporting a massive blush.
His eyes widened and he couldn't help the warm feeling rising from the pit of his stomach, luckily for him his thoughts were interrupted by Lee.
"Damn, she's so cute!"
Naruto blinked a few times before he dropped his broom. "Yeah, I guess she is… Uh Lee?"
Lee turned to face his friend. "What is it Naruto?"
Naruto started shaking. "Can you finish my area? I… I have to… I have to go to the bathroom."
Lee chuckled. "Sure thing Naruto, don't worry about-"
Naruto nodded in thanks and ran off before Lee could finish.
Lee scratched the back of his head. "Well that was weird…"
He ran out of the pool and back into the school building as fast as he could. He passed several teachers who scolded him and told him to slow down but he ignored them. He sprinted into the nearest bathroom and emptied the contents of his stomach into the nearest toilet.
He stayed that way for a few minutes as his body heaved out the rest of his lunch as he stared down into the toilet. He didn't know how long he stayed there but he knew that he didn't want to leave. He didn't want the day at school to end, because that is when he knew he would have to come face to face with the biggest problem of his life.
He was starting to become attracted to his sister.

So, once again tell me how i did and please dont hesitate to ask questions.
Peace!
