We do not own Naruto. This fanfic is being co-written by tankou001. We hope you enjoy it. Please Review.
The first couple of months passed without too much going on. She had went to a few school games to watch her new friend Kimimaro play in the highschool band. Other than that everything thing was fine until Homecoming. That was when all her friends decided to pair off, well all except her and Kimimaro who had crushes on upperclassmen.
Within the first couple of months they had made friends with a hyperactive blonde named Naruto who just like them was in love with one of the upperclassmen named Sai, who happened to be one of Neji's friends. Sai belonged to the art appreciation club along with Kimimaro's crush Deidara. They both talked about how they wanted to join the club but neither of them cared much for art.
Hinata listened to them shaking her head. "you two really just need to join the club already or ask them out.", she said one day after listening to them complain about it for a while. They both looked at her a little shocked before Kimimaro smiled and nudged her.
"Just like you told that girl you like her?". he asked her with an evil smile.
"Th-Thats different. I mean...I just havent gotten to tell her yet", Hinata said blushing furiously.
Kimimaro rolled his eyes. "Sure thats the reason.", he said to her.
Naruto just slumped a little in his chair. "How could I join the art club if I find the whole subject of art appreciation to be boring?", he said a little loudly. Loud enough for Sai to hear unfortunately as he was walking past.
"Maybe you should try coming to a meeting first before you call it boring.", Sai said to Naruto.
Naruto nearly jumped out of his chair when he heard Sai's voice while Kimimaro and Hinata had to stop themselves from laughing. Naruto straightened up a bit and looked at Sai. "Sorry it just seems like a total snooze fest."
"Well things aren't always what they seem, but I wouldn't expect someone like you to understand that.", he said to him and then cut Naruto off before the blonde could say something back. "In fact why don't you come by today after school. Maybe something will interest you.", Sai said to him and then walked away.
Naruto sat there looking at his friends for support but all they did was shake their heads.
"I'd go with you but I have band practice today after school.", Kimimaro said to him.
"And I have to go straight home after school today as my cousin is giving me a ride.", Hinata said to him.
Naruto groaned. "Great. Now I have to be bored all by myself.", he said to them whining a little.
Hinata shook her head a little. "Maybe Sai is right and you won't be bored when you go to this meeting.", she said to him trying to help him to feel better.
Naruto just whined a little more and then the bell sounded for the end of lunch.
--------
Hinata was laughing with her friends when she told them to go on ahead while she went to her locker. Hinata was on her way to her seventh period class when she ran into Tenten again. The girl looked as though she had been crying a little and Hinata couldn't help but wonder what was wrong. She was debating on whether or not to ask when she blurted it out.
"Whats wrong?", Hinata asked blushing in embarrassment for asking.
Tenten looked at her. "You...You're that girl from my gym class right?", she asked Hinata.
"Yes.", Hinata said to her.
"Whats your name? Sorry if I don't remember. I am terrible with names.", Tenten said to her.
"My name is Hinata", she said thinking that she didn't ever remember giving Tenten her name.
"I'm Tenten.", the older said smiling.
I know who you are.... Hinata thought. "So you looked upset. Anything you want to talk about? I don't mind listening.", she said to her.
"Well...its just...", Tenten started as the bell rang signalling that they had less than two minutes to get to their respective classes or they would be late. "I have to go to class. Maybe some other time Hinata.", she said to her and then turned and left.
------
Hinata ran to her own class with the blushing. She had loved the way that Tenten said her name but now was not the time to be thinking of that as she made it just in time for class. She took her seat next to Kimimaro and waited for the lesson to begin. Half way through the lesson a couple of students came in to address the freshman. It was obvious that they were a couple and it even earned a few snickers from other freshman as the girl, her name was Temari, made a move to hold Shikamaru's hand. When they finished their announcements about homecoming week they left. Apparently there will be flowers that you can purchase for someone secretly and they will be delivered to that person at the end of the week.
Kimimaro leaned over to Hinata. "I'm going to buy a couple for Deidara.", he whispered to her. "You should buy some for Tenten."
Hinata blushed. "I might."
The rest of class finished up with them getting up and leaving for the day. Hinata walked to her locker with Kimimaro.
"I wonder how Naruto's going to do later.", Hinata said to him as she exchanged her books taking home the ones she had homework in.
Kimimaro laughed a little bit. "I am sure he will be fine though it would've been funny to watch."
Hinata laughed lightly as well. "Yes it would've been.", she said to him.
Just then Naruto came down the hallway. "Well I am off to snooze fest wish me luck.", he said to them as he dropped off his books in his locker.
"I am sure you will like it since Sai's there", Kimimaro said teasingly to him as he walked past.
Hinata giggled. "Yeah especially since Sai is going to be there.", she said teasingly as well.
"You guys are no help.", Naruto groaned.
"Well see you later. Neji is waiting for me.", Hinata said to them and ran to meet her cousin. When she did she had to jump in the back seat because his boyfriend Gaara was in the front seat.
Kimimaro just waved bye to Naruto. "Let me know what happens.", he said as he walked away.
Naruto nodded and made his way to the classroom where the art appreciation club took place. He took a seat at the back of the classroom and watched as students filtered in and took seats at various canvases. Naruto got up and sat at a empty canvas as well. Sasori, the art teacher, was in charge of the art appreciation club and Naruto silently sighed. He did fairly well in Sasori's class but he wondered what they would be doing in the club today.
"Today we will learn to appreciate the upper half of the human body by sketching it on our canvases. Our own member Sai has agreed to be the model for this lesson.", Sasori said as Sai came in with no shirt on.
Naruto nearly fell out of his chair and it seemed only Sai noticed and smirked at his reaction. Sai stood in front of them and looked ahead though Naruto could tell Sai's eyes were on him. Naruto coughed and started to sketch Sai when he heard another member of the club complaining.
"This is boring Mr. Sasori, yeah.", Deidara said. "Art should be bright and vibrant and explosion of colors and sights."
"We have been over this before Deidara. True Art is not an explosion but something that can be enjoyed over time.", Sasori said and then the debate between him and Deidara started.
Naruto shook his head and continued to draw Sai the best he could on the canvas trying his hardest not to blush the entire time though he was sure a blush was on his face anyway. Before he knew it students were packing up taking their canvases home and Sai had his shirt on again. Naruto was the only one left in the room with Sai as Sasori then walked out the room. He looked at Sai and the down at the floor.
"Now was that what you expected it to be Naruto?", Sai asked smiling an odd sort of creepy smile.
Naruto blushed. So Sai did know his name. "Well no, but it still...I don't know.", Naruto said as the image of Sai shirtless came into his head again.
Sai just shook his head. "Well I guess you can't help everyone appreciate art.", he said to Naruto and then touched his cheek lightly.
Naruto blushed at the hand touching his face and was about to say something when Deidara came back into the classroom.
"OH! Sorry. I forgot my book.", Deidara said grabbing his book and leaving.
Sai sighed. "I guess maybe another time Naruto.", he said to him with one last gaze into his eyes before he left.
--------------
It had started to rain and Kimimaro had to walk home in it. He ran using his bookbag to shield his head when a car pulled up next to him.
"Hey need a ride?", Deidara asked him from inside his car.
Kimimaro froze in his tracks and nodded numbly.
"Well get in.", Deidara said unlocking the passenger side of his car.
Kimimaro hurried and got into the car before Deidara changed his mind. This was perfect almost like fate that he would get to ride in a car with his biggest crush.
"So where do you live?", Deidara asked.
"123 Eastforth Lane.", Kimimaro said to him.
"Oh I know where that is. My friend lives down the street from you.", Deidara said and started driving to Kimimaro's house. "So what is your name? I know I have seen you around school but I never caught you name."
"Its Kimimaro and yours is?", Kimimaro asked even though he already knew it.
"Deidara.", he answered.
Kimimaro sat there biting his lip unsure of what to say next as he twiddled with his fingers. Deidara noticed and smiled. He is really cute when he does that, Deidara thought to himself. The rest of the drive continued with idle chit chat like what was Kimimaro's favorite class and food. Unknowingly to Kimimaro this was Deidara's way of getting to know more about him as Kimimaro answered question after question even though it seemed like a harmless chat. They arrived at Kimimaro's house and Deidara stopped in front of it.
"Well here is your stop.", Deidara said to him.
"Thank you Deidara. I appreciate it.", Kimimaro said and before he knew it Deidara kissed him on the cheek.
"Anytime.", Deidara said as a confused and blushing Kimimaro got out of his car and went into his house.
Deidara stayed there for a moment smiling and then pulled off to go visit his friend Itachi.
