-Chapter Two-
Out on the training field, Hinata was already putting her plan into action.
Carefully watching Sakura and Jynx's moves, she decided to practice them on Kiba.
"K-kiba-kun..." Hinata started timidly, watching Jynx as she flicked her hair over her shoulder and smiled at Kouta.
"Yes, Hinata?" He asked her, turning around.
"I...I... errm...." Hinata stammered, going red as she quickly flicked her hair over her shoulder, narrowly avoiding Shino's head, and smiled desperately at Kiba.
"H-how are you, Kiba-kun?" She said, trying to sound confident.
The over-all effect was something of a possessed girl with a scared grin, who sounded as though she were constipated.
Kiba looked at Hinata in a worried way, and felt her forehead.
"Hinata, are you feeling alright?" He asked her as she pushed his hand away.
"Y-yes K-Kiba-kun. I'm f-fine." She said, shaking her head.
'Oh dear... that didn't go too well.... Perhaps I should try... maybe, Sakura-chan's approach would be better for me.' She thought to herself, putting a finger to her lips.
Turning to look for the pink haired kunochi, she saw Sakura hitting Sai around the head and yelling obscenities at him.
'W-well... Tsunade-sama always said 'Treat them mean, keep them keen.' Or something like that... M-maybe I should try it on Shino-kun...' Hinata thought, glancing up at the silent Shinobi as he watched Kiba training with Akamaru.
Hinata breathed in to help calm herself, stepped forwards and promptly hit Shino around the head.
Shino turned and looked around for his attacker, seemingly oblivious to Hinata's presense.
"SHINO-KUN! It was me!" Hinata squeeked furiously, waving her arms around Sakura-fashion.
Shino looked down at her in wonder, the surprise clear even through his dark glasses.
"Hinata?" He said, sounding concerned. "Why did you hit me?"
Hinata though of things that Sakura usually said to Hiroshi, and decided to use them.
"Your always perving on me, Shino-kun! I don't like it! You are such a-a-a AN IDIOT!" Hinata yelled at him, scrunching her hands into fist as her face went red from trying so hard.
"H-hinata? What are you on about?" Shino asked her, clearly alarmed as he backed away from the small screaming beetroot.
"Y-you-your always trying to t-touch me and I don't like it, Shino-kun!" Hinata said, trying to ignore the strange looks people were giving her.
"Shino's a pervert? Who would have guessed that?" Hiroshi smirked from beside Jynx, who was looking at her best friend as though she were mental.
'Oh dear... this isn't going very well either... W-what would Sakura do to stop yelling?' Hinata though sadly. 'Oh! I know!'
Hinata quickly changed tactics, turning to Kiba and smiling painfully at him again.
"Oh.. Kiba-kun. Y-you look s-so... errrrm..." Hinata struggled to think of a word Jynx would use. "S-so f-fuckable." She stammered as Kiba went red.
"W-what, Hinata?" He asked her, looking really confused.
"Oh I err... Your very... Erm... I want to touch you, I-.. Oh.." Hinata whimpered, shaking her head as she ran past him, back towards the village center, her face bright red in shame.
Back on the training grounds, everyone stared after her in silence.
Shikmaru finally broke the eerie-ness.
"Fuck-able?" He said, looking mildly amused.
"Is she ill or something?" Ino said, looking disturbed.
"I think I might go and see if she's okay..." Jynx said, giving her kunai to Kouta and running after her.
"Poor Hinata... maybe there was something wrong with her beef ramen this morning..." Naruto muttered, clueless as usual as he wondered off to resume his training.
-
Jynx finally caught up with Hinata outside Inoichi's flower shop.
The poor kunochi was shaking violently, whilst looking at the ground in shame.
"Hinata-chan? What's wrong?" Jynx asked her friend, putting an arm around her shoulders.
"I-I just wanted N-Naruto-kun t-to like me... S-so I tried to be like y-you and S-sakura-chan." Hinata replied miserably.
"Like me and Sakura? But what for, Hinata? I'm sure Naruto likes you the way you are now..." Jynx said quietly, tilting Hinata's head up with her small hand.
"B-but h-he doesn't l-like me l-like he likes you a-and Sakura-chan... H-he never calls me Hinata-chan..." She whimpered, tears pooling in her lilac eyes.
"Oh Hinata..." Jynx said softly, hugging the poor shinobi. "I'm sure he does like you.. He's just a bit... well... Naruto-ish."
Hinata shook her head and pulled away from Jynx, wiping her eyes with her sleeve.
"N-no.. He d-doesn't... That's why I wish I could be... a better person.. Like you, Jynx-chan. I wish I could be the girl Naruto likes the m-most... But I won't be if I- if I can't get him to n-notice me..." Hinata said, looking up at her friend determinedly. "If I could be like you, N-Naruto-kun will like me too."
Jynx shook her head, still not convinced that her best friend needed to change herself at all.
"Alright... I'll help you. But please, no more accusing Shino of touching you up, okay?" Jynx laughed, smiling at Hinata.
The dark haired girl managed a small smile back, and nodded her head.
"Thank you, Jynx-chan... This m-means a lot to me." She said, blushing a little when she thought of Naruto maybe liking her one day too.
"Okay... First things first, if you want to be like me and Sakura, your going to have to dress the part." Jynx said, trying not to smile as Hinata looked at her in an alarmed way. "Come on Hinata, it can't be all that bad... Just change your top for a fitted shirt and your leggings for a skirt. Simple. Honestly, it'll make Naruto-kun notice you a lot more."
Twenty minutes, some make-up and a change of clothes later, Hinata emerged onto the training ground, complete re-vamped.
Jynx stood behind her timid friend and smirked happily as all the boys turned to stare at Hinata.
"Is that... Hinata?!" Naruto said in a shocked voice, not really looking anywhere but her chest.
"Yes. It is indeed Hinata." Jynx answered him, giving Hinata a gentle push towards her team mates.
"Now Hinata, just a pointer, you should always flirt with Naruto-kun's friends. Just a little, to make him jealous." Jynx whispered in her friends ear.
"B-but won't that give N-Naruto-kun the wrong impression?" Hinata whispered back.
"No, of course not." Jynx told her, "It'll just make him want to speak to you more."
Hinata nodded and took a step towards Naruto, keeping her eyes fixed on Sai.
Jynx glanced from Hinata, to where she was looking and whimpered slightly.
"No! Not Sai! I meant Kiba or someone!" Jynx hissed quietly after Hinata.
"Jynx-chan. We need to train." Kouta said from beside the distraught girl as he tried to pull her away.
"No! Kouta-kun I need to stay with Hinata!" Jynx squealed as Kouta picked her up and carried her towards the targets.
"KOUTA!" Jynx yelled, trying to hit him as he held her fire-man style over his shoulder.
"Nice view, Jynx." Hiroshi winked at her as Jynx watched Hinata helplessly.
"S-Sai errm... -kun... H-have I ever told you h-how..." Hinata tried to think of a suitable word. "A-artistic you are?"
Sai looked at Hinata inquisitively and shook his head.
"No you haven't, Hinata-san." He told her, using his lengendary fake smile.
"W-well you are... a-artistic... A-and very... a-attractive t-too..." Hinata said, biting her lip as Naruto watched her carefully.
"Thank you, short, big breasted ninja." Sai said, faking a smile again.
Hinata promptly went red at his nick-name and almost fainted.
"S-Sai-kun! P-please don't call me that!" Hinata squeaked, putting her arms across her chest as though it would protect her from any leering eyes around her.
"Why not, short, big breasted ninja?" Sai smiled as Hinata backed off from him a little.
"Because that's not her name." Jynx told him as she came walking up behind Sai.
"Hello, Beautiful." Sai said, using the nickname he had become accustomed to using ever since Jynx had complimented one of his drawings with the same word.
"Hello Sai." Jynx said in a bored voice, taking Hinata's trembling hand and pulling her to safety.
"Nice errm..." Sai rifled through his copy of Icha Icha to find a particular phrase. "Nice arse, sexy lady." He said, smiling fakely at her.
Jynx groaned and turned away from him, shaking her head at Hinata.
"Why did you have to pick Sai? Anyone would have done. Even Neji would have been better than Sai..." She sighed, trying to muster a smile. "You did well though... Better than exspected. And Naruto-kun certainly noticed you."
Jynx stole a glance at the aforementioned shinobi, who was currently looking at Sai with an aggravated look on his usually dopey face.
"D-do you think?" Hinata said hopefully, a small smile passing over her lips.
"Yes. I have a feeling he did." Jynx said, smiling softly at her friend.
-
Later on that evening, Jynx had a plan.
"Maybe if you watch some films on people falling in love, you'll get a better idea of how to flirt." Jynx said hopefully as they walked towards Jynx's house.
"Now I think Hiroshi borrowed one of them the other day, but he returned it this morning, so that's alright." Jynx said, trying to remember what dvds she could lend to Hinata.
As they got to the street corner, Jynx stopped suddenly and went bright red.
Hinata looked up to see Gaara standing with Temari, and his brother Kankuro, just across the street from them.
Temari glanced up and saw the two kunochi, a smile breaking over her face as she waved at them.
"Hi Jynx! Hinata! How are you?" Temari called, crossing over the road with her two brothers.
"Uhh... heh... f-fine.." Jynx responsed awkwardly, trying not to look at Gaara as she spoke. "A-and you three?"
Kankuro smiled at Jynx and winked at her.
"Fine thanks. Just here on buisness, why might you be here?" He replied, in what he seemed to think was a 'sexy' voice.
Jynx regained a little of her usual paleness as she stared at him and said; "I live here."
Kankuro nodded, his eyes wide in apparent embarrassment as Gaara rolled his eyes at him.
Temari smirked at Kankuro and turned back to Jynx.
"You really need to come and visit me sometime. Hinata too. You can bring your boyfriend if you like." She offered.
"B-boyfriend?" Jynx said, glancing nervously at Gaara, who seemed indifferent to what his sister had just said. "I don't have a b-boyfriend."
Temari laughed and shook her head.
"I was joking, silly. I meant you could bring Kouta if you wanted to. I know how he likes to 'protect' you." He smirked.
"It's not funny you know..." Jynx pouted, remembering the first time Kouta had first met the sand ninja's, and how he had shielded Jynx from Kankuro, accusing him of trying to rape her.
"It really is." Temari sniggered as Gaara began to wonder off down the street.
"Come on Temari. We need to get going." He called over his shoulder.
"B-bye Gaara-kun..." Jynx said pitifully, as Temari smiled at Jynx in goodbye and followed after her brothers.
Gaara stopped and turned to look at Jynx.
"Bye." He said shortly, before continuing down the street.
Jynx stood staring after him in shock as Hinata poked her friend in the arm.
"Jynx-chan?" She said, waving her hand in front of Jynx's eyes.
"Huh?" Jynx said, coming out of her shocked daze.
"Are we still going to your house?" Hinata asked her.
"Oh.. sure..." Jynx nodded, turning towards her house and walking up the narrow path to the front door.
"D-did you hear that Hinata-chan? Gaara said 'Bye'! To me!" She said happily, unlocking the door and slipping off her boots.
"I did hear, Jynx-chan." Hinata smiled at her friend, removing her shoes.
A few moments later, Jynx had sucessfully retrived the dvds from the depths of Hiroshi's discarded bag.
"I'm never going in there again." Jynx shuddered, flicking bits of fluff and god knows what else what off her wrist.
Handing over the two dvds, Hinata examined the cases.
"Clueless and A Cinderella Story." Hinata read aloud, frowning. "Why would Hiroshi-kun want to borrow these?"
Jynx shrugged, putting his bag back where'd she found it.
"How should I know? I never ask Hiroshi why he does these kind of things. It's safer not to know." Jynx smirked, walking into the kitchen.
"Jynx, we're out of orange juice." Konohamaru told his cousin as he balanced precariously on a chair to reach the top of the fridge.
"That's because you drank it all this morning." Jynx told him, nudging his stomach with her finger. "Now get off the chair. Your making it all muddy."
Konohamaru jumped down from the chair and stuck his tongue out at her.
"You may be two years older than me, but I'm still taller than you, you know." He said, smirking at his cousin's shortness.
"I can hit harder than you." Jynx replied, narrowing her eyes at him.
"Did I mention that I'm leaving now?" Konohamaru whimpered, running out of the room.
"Oh how I love to terrorize small children." Jynx giggled, handing Hinata a drink.
"But he's not small. Not compared to you, anyway." Hinata reasoned.
Jynx just glared at her.
"I-I think I might go home now.." Hinata whimpered.
-
Back at home, Hinata slid the first dvd into the dvd slot and pressed the on button on her television.
A second later, two people flicked onto the screen.
The female was screaming and moaning strange things, clinging to the male as he grinned and spoke softly to the woman. There also seemed to be a lot of flesh on show.
Pausing the dvd, Hinata hurriedly picked up her phone and rang Jynx.
"Hello, Sarutobi residence?" Jynx's voice buzzed down the line.
"Jynx-chan it's m-me. Hinata." Hinata spoke, glancing nervously at the screen.
"Oh hello Hinata-chan, how are you finding the films?" Jynx asked her happily.
"Oh errm... Well you see... I was a bit concerned... A-are there meant to be people errm... kissing and... t-things?" Hinata asked her.
Jynx laughed softly in reply.
"Oh Hinata... You charming yet insane girl. Of course. It is a romance after all."
Taking Jynx's word for it, Hinata said goodbye to her friend and resumed watching the dvd, taking notes where she could.
'Maybe this will work on Naruto-kun. Maybe he will notice me afterall...' Hinata smiled happily.
Author Note: Aww poor Hinata, heh heh heh. I wonder what this shall lead to. *evil smirk* Hope you enjoyed part two! Part three will be up ASAP!
