The next day, Hinata woke up very early; not wanting yesterday's incidents to repeat themselves. Last night wasn't so easy on her either. Her father, Hyuuga Hiashi, reprimanded her, as she was late in arriving home, and still wet. Afterwards one of the maids had told Hiashi about seeing a 'suspicious-looking' teenaged boy driving Hinata back home. So Hinata got an earful about that too.

Neji silently reprimanded Hinata too with his piercing pearl eyes. He had noticed she was avoiding him yesterday and could only hope his cousin had not gotten into any trouble. He wasn't that fortunate.

'Hopefully, today will be better.' Hinata thought with a small, but hopeful smile.

That had been a week ago. Now at their second week in school, classes have become how they usually are. Ruthless, stressful, dramatic, tiring. The usual high school quirks.

However, some things have changed though. Others remained the same.

Examples of a significant change in Hinata's life would be the fact that Naruto acknowledges her existence and actually socializes with her. And Naruto, renowned goofball that he is, instantly brought Hinata out of hiding, making her not as socially invisible as she was before.

"Oi! Hinata-chan!" Naruto yelled from across the hall as he ran towards said Hyuuga girl. "I've been looking everywhere for you!"

Hinata turned to the voice, "E-eh? N-Naru-"

CRASH

"EEP!" she shrieked, her face a bright red whilst looking up at the blonde who had crashed down on her.

"OOPS! Sorry Hinata-chan! Ehehehe! I slipped, I didn't see that wet floor sign… Anyway, are you okay? Any bruises? Concussions? FRACTURES?!" Said Naruto worriedly. He was a nice boy, but dense to see while he's blabbering a certain Hinata is either dying of embarrassment or lack of air from being crushed against Naruto.

"Dobe. Get off her, can't you see she can't breathe?" stated a voice dryly.

"Ehh?! OH NO! Sorry, sorry, sorry Hinata-chan! I didn't mean too!" said Naruto, quickly getting off Hinata. "And, teme, thanks for the ti- HEY WAIT A MINUTE… SHUT UP, I'M NOT A DOBE!"

"Hn. Looks like it to me." replied the voice, whom apparently belonged to Sasuke Uchiha, the boy every girl wants and every boy wants to be.

With his cool demeanor, he stared down at the infuriated blonde and the coughing dark haired girl with bored, piercing black eyes.

"Yeah well?! Erm, uh… Screw you Sasuke! I don't have time for you!" said the blonde, frustrated that he couldn't think of a witty comeback. He promptly turned away from the Uchiha to face Hinata.

"Sorry for, well, falling on you. And sorry for teme. He sucks." Naruto said sheepishly.

Hinata ceased her coughing and gasping for air. The blushing didn't stop though. "U-um, I-it's alright… N-Naruto-kun…"

Sasuke, who apparently was still there, sighed and ran his hand through dark locks of hair. (Effectively making fangirls in the vicinity squeal.) He offered his hand to Hinata, "And sorry for Naruto, A.K.A dobe. He's sort of a dumbass."

Hinata blinked and took his hand to get up from the floor and said, "I-I don't think Naruto-kun is a dobe or a dumbass…"

Sasuke simply said, "Hn."

"Ha! Ya see that Sasuke! I AM NOT A DOBE OR A DUMBASS!" yelled Naruto in victory.

Sasuke rolled his eyes and kicked him slightly at the side, "Get up, dobe."

They started arguing again while Hinata silently left the two alone.

After that incident, and several others, people started recognizing the Hyuuga girl more. Fangirls saw her as a threat, some boys saw her as that 'weird-chick-with-the-weird-eyes', others saw her as 'the-hot-weird-chick-who-stutters', and some thought she was a new kid since she was that invisible.

Some things didn't change though.

Like Hinata and Gaara's relationship, which was neither love, like, or hate or mild dislike. They practically weren't friends, but sure as heck they weren't enemies.

But, they enjoyed each other's company. (In a way.) Gaara liked teasing Hinata and Hinata found Gaara sort of interesting.

Like everything else in high school, it was complicated.

It was lunch now. So far, the day has gone by smoothly. Not counting the part where Naruto decided to socialize with Hinata more, nearly making the poor Hyuuga girl faint. Gaara was also absent today, making Hinata curious on what happened to him.

Hinata dug in her bento box, filled with delicious food she made herself. She sat on a bench under a tree, preferring the cool breeze nature provided than the crowded and stuffy cafeteria the school had.

"Hinata."

Said girl turned to the direction where the low voice was heard, but nothing was there. She frowned slightly and turned back to her food, catching a glimpse of a hand taking a rice ball.

Hinata jumped slightly in surprise and turned around to see Gaara leaning against the bench, nibbling on a rice ball; her rice ball.

"G-G-Gaara-san?" she stuttered in surprise, and habit. "W-What are you doing here? I-I thought you were a-absent…"

"I had things to take care of." Came Gaara's vague reply. "This is good. Did you make these?"

Hinata blinked and nodded, her mouth slightly open. "Y-yes. I made them…"

The redhaired teen nodded and took another bite. Hinata fidgeted and blushed under his gaze, "U-um… w-would you l-like to take a s-seat?"

Gaara smirked in amusement and calmly took a seat next to Hinata. He sighed and leaned his head back, looking up to the sky. The light-eyed girl curiously looked at him, observing his calm face.

"Hn. Stop staring at me." He suddenly said in a quiet yet playful voice.

Hinata's eyes widened, "E-eh, u-um," she blushed and muttered, "I-it's not like y-you h-haven't stared at m-me…"

"Well it's not like you protested." retorted Gaara with a smirk.

The young girl opened her mouth for another reply, only to get cut off by the school bell.

Gaara stood up and told her, "Go. You don't want to be late in class. Again."

Hinata sighed and pouted in defeat as they went in opposite directions to class.

Currently, Hinata lounged in her room. Her room was pretty simple, but at the same time fit for an heiress. It was like Hinata, simple at first glance, but when you really look at it, you see its beauty.

She lay on her bed, her dark shiny hair fanning out. She had finished her homework already. And now, she was bored.

Sometimes having no social life sucks. Well, she had a little string of social life but not the ideal bunch of yarn social life. The kind of social life her younger sister, Hanabi, has. Currently she was out with friends, shopping and having fun. Even Neji was out, probably with Tenten.

Hinata sighed and got up from her bed, deciding to go to the park.

Clad in a lavender blouse and jeans, Hinata sat on the grass of the park, slightly leaning back.

"Hey, you're Hinata, right?"

The dark haired girl turned to face the voice, only to find a certain Sabaku.

The older one though.

"Y-Yeah, that's me. Hi K-Kankuro-san." She said softly.

Kankuro laughed and sat next to her, "You're so weird. What are you doing 'round here? Where're your friends?"

"U-um, I'm k-kinda here alone…" she replied, embarrasses to admit it.

"Seriously? Then come on, Temari forced us to 'family bonding'. You can hang out with us!" he exclaimed, leaving out the part of being forced to eat evil, inedible food.

"U-Um. I-I wouldn't want to i-intrude, and T-Temari? U-us?" she stuttered out confusedly, already being dragged to God-knows-where.

"Oh right, sorry! Temari is my bitch of an older sister, and by us I mean Gaara and I." Kankuro explained.

"U-um, w-wel-"

"Come on!" Kankuro said grinning, running of to a head start, dragging a poor Hinata behind.

Hinata was dragged to a spot under a tree; to find a sandy blonde girl with four pigtails trying to baby feed an annoyed Gaara. Seeing the sight made Hinata giggle. The sandy blonde girl turned to Kankuro, noticing his arrival; then turned to the girl he dragged with him.

"Kankuro. Please tell me you did not kidnap another girl." Said the girl's annoyed voice.

"Hey! I didn't kidnap that girl. It was a misunderstanding! And Hinata voluntarily agreed-"

"W-well, N-not r-really…"

"You see?! She agrees!" defended Kankuro.

"You idiot. She was disagreeing with you." Said Gaara, joining in the conversation/argument.

Hinata sort of stood there awkwardly, not knowing if she should just bolt while Kankuro wasn't holding her wrist, or stick around. The siblings continued their bickering until the blonde girl got so annoyed and bashed Kankuro on the head.

Hinata yelped at the sudden violence, seeing Kankuro on the ground from the blonde's hit.

The blonde muttered profanities under her breath. Suddenly her face turned pleasant and faced Hinata. "I'm sorry for Kankuro. I'm Temari, and this is Gaara."

"We've already met." stated Gaara, not caring for the passed out Kankuro.

Hinata pushed her fingertips together, feeling nervous and awkward. "I-I'm Hinata. N-Nice to meet y-you T-Temari-san…"

Temari chuckled cheerfully, not seeming like the sadist she was a while ago. "Cools! Come on, take a seat. Try the food, it's great!"

Gaara muttered under his breath, "Lies."

Hinata giggled and sat between him and Temari. Temari's eye twitched, but ignored her younger brother's comment. "…Anyway, here!" she said, pushing a Tupperware filled to the brim with… whatever that was. It was brown and it seemed to be moving.

"U-Um…" she stuttered, eyeing the moving brown thing, trying to hide her horror.

Gaara sighed and took Hinata's wrist and stood up, brining Hinata with him. "Let's just get pizza."

Temari glared at Gaara, while Gaara glared back harder. Temari sighed, "Fine fine. I really don't want to eat this crap anyway. Even though I freaking slaved over the stove making this shit."

Gaara didn't reply as he was already walking off with Hinata. Hinata looked back and asked, "W-What about K-Kankuro-san?"

Gaara was tempted to say, 'What about him?' but refrained from doing so. Temari sighed, "He'll get up eventually. Especially with all these hot girls in bikinis around…"

"What? Where?" said a suddenly awake Kankuro, frantically looking around, only to receive a smack upside on the head from Temari.

Soo, ehh watcha thiiink? Yeah, sorry its kinda boriing~ XD Full of flashbacks. I'm such a sucker for flash backs. Haha, Hinata is always caught in an awkward position while two other people argue. .
