A.N.: IT's Hinata's turn. A little agnsty and an implied one-sided NaruHina.

She never really had a full understanding of what the word love really meant. The word was never quite said to her, so she really had no one to say it to. On occasion, she would walk past an overly affectionate couple and hear either of the utter those three yearned for words. She would take a peek at them and see exactly how those words were said and what the person looked like when saying them. Usually there would be soft and caring look in the pair's eyes or a hand would be caressing the other's cheek. When she would witness such happenings, Hinata would swiftly divert her eyes and a light pink would paint her cheeks.
Was that how it went?, she would wonder.
When she would return home to her family manor from those lone walks, she would throw herself upon her futon and pretend she was in her lover's arms. In all of her fantasies, her lover would don a shock of blonde hair with slightly tan skin. His eyes would be a deep sea ocean blue and his arms would be covered in a yellow jacket. He would hold her tight, kiss her temple, and say…I love you.
But how would I feel?
Her fantasies would always leave her with an empty feeling and if it wasn't that then a tingle of loneliness would crawl up her spine and a blurry mist would form over her eyes. She would push away the feeling as best she could, but the harder she tried, the more it affected her.
"Hinata…psh…Hinata!"
Hinata jerked up suddenly at the sound of her name being called. She ran over to her window and opened it. She gave a small shriek when she came face to face with an eager Kiba and an embarrassed looking Shino. They were both heavily leaning against the manor and steadying themselves on the ledge. They also looked highly uncomfortable.
"Hinata, come on! Sensei isn't at the training grounds yet so maybe we can grab something to eat!"
"H-Hai."
Kiba and Shino launched themselves off the ledge and landed on the ground below. From the ground, Kiba motioned for her to jump. She gave a short nod and prepared herself.
Before jumping, she considered something. Maybe she didn't exactly know what love was yet, but maybe one day the people in her life would take the time to teach her.
