Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto if I did well I would have had Naruto thank Hinata, or take her out for ramen after the exams.
Hinata's Little Book
Chapter 4: Hinata's First Day
Authors Note: Yo another chapter done, this ones has bit more emotion as Naruto learns more about Hinata and shows what Hinata first thought as she started to learn about Naruto life.
Also I would like to thank AlphaMike369 who pointed out the date I used for Hinata entry was wrong, Sorry about that I changed it, since I was so in to writing the story I just put any date I could think of at the time. Also please check out his stories too.
Naruto looked at the book and opened the page with the second bookmark in it, this bookmark was black and had a 1st on it in orange.
Opening the page Naruto started to read.
Dear Diary
10/ 01/ AC 216
Today was the first day I started at the ninja academy, I was really sad when my father was too busy to go to the opening ceremony so my care taker Ko escorted me there instead.
But when I got to the Ninja academy I saw him, the same boy that I've been dreaming about since I meet him a few weeks ago Naruto-Kun.
Naruto blushed as he read that Hinata was dreaming about him back then and wonder what sort of dreams she had.
He was sitting so on the swing all alone, he had a smile, but it just seemed wrong somehow it didn't make me happy or fill me with warmth like it did when I first saw him smile.
Look around and I saw all the adults glaring at something, even Ko was, when I tracked where they were looking I saw Naruto-Kun on the same swing as before. I didn't know what it was everyone was looking so scary and angry about and wondered why Naruto-Kun didn't move out of their sights.
"They were angry because of me, because I was there someplace everyone else didn't think I belonged." Naruto said as he read the section and he remembered that no matter how hard he tried to avoid the glares they always seemed to follow him. A hand went to his stomach and he thought about the reason why he had to endure those glares all his life "Because they saw me as a monster." Shaking himself out of his depressing thoughts Naruto carried on reading.
I tried to go over to where Naruto-Kun was, wanting to thank him and maybe, just maybe, be his friend, but Ko stopped by putting a hand on my shoulder and told me I must stay away from that boy.
I remembered Ko saying that before so many times, when I saw Naruto-Kun in the streets of the villager. I asked why and he told me Naruto-Kun was dangerous, but he's not Naruto-Kun is the nicest person I know.
When I asked why he thought that he never gave me a straight answer and just kept telling me to stay away from him and held me in place.
As the students all lined up I saw Naruto-Kun get in line and the glares followed him, I realised then that what all the people were glaring at was Naruto-Kun. Why him, why did everyone hate him when he's done nothing wrong, why did he smile as they did. I asked, but I all I could do was watch as they glared at him.
"You tried to help me even back then Hinata-Chan, thank you" Naruto whispered as his hand caressed the entry and he gave a sad smile "I did nothing wrong, but exist yet everyone else didn't care and hated me anyway, but you didn't, you cared enough to question them. I smiled back then because it was all I could do." Naruto thought answering Hinata old question.
As we got into line my eye's stayed on Naruto-Kun and I watched as his expression changed from that smile that seemed so wrong to a look of determination that just fitted him so perfectly it made him… look so fierce. As the origination started, I watched Naruto-Kun, how his face looked so focused and his eyes burned with resolve and purpose, he looked indomitable as he gave Hokage-Sama his one hundred percent attention. As I gazed at the intensity he was giving to a speech most kids would ignore, I couldn't help, but fill a warmth spread over me and admire him.
Naruto-Kun clearly knew why he was here, what he wanted and was prepared to overcome any obstacle to reach his goal.
Naruto started to blush as he felt heat make its way up his cheeks at just how much attention Hinata seemed to give him. "I wanted attention like that my whole life, yet the one person to actually give me it was the one I least expected, Hinata-Chan if only I've known." Naruto mulled over the words, the way Hinata seemed to care, the way she saw him and understood him better than anyone else was all he ever truly wanted.
After the origination, I parted ways with Ko and went to my first class and was delighted to see Naruto-Kun and me were together, Naruto-Kun immediately took a seat in the middle row, I wanted to sit next to him, but I chickened out and sat at the row behind him.
I just felt so scared, would he have remembered me, would he welcome or would he tell me to go away like my father does.
I just couldn't sit next him I was so scared of messing up and embarrassing myself in front of him.
"I would have welcomed you Hinata-Chan, I would have been delighted that someone didn't mind being so close to me." Naruto answered as if Hinata was there with him. Happy that someone wanted to befriend him, but sad that it never happened.
As the class filled up I saw that no one sat next to Naruto-Kun, all the other children seemed to avoid him. I watched as Naruto watched the students pass by him and he looked so lonely I couldn't help, but think if I wasn't such a cowered I could have been there for him then.
As our Sensei came in I saw him single out Naruto-Kun and give him glare just like the adults outside did.
As class went on Naruto stayed focused and tried to ask questions, but whenever he did that man, just insulted him and caused all the other students to laugh at him. He kept picking on Naruto-Kun and I just couldn't bring myself to call him Sensei, he didn't deserve it and no one question me since I was the Hyuga heir and juts ignored the fact.
I watched Naruto-Kun throughout class and noticed he no longer tried asking questions since no matter how many times he asked the teacher would never answer them, in less someone else asked it in the first place.
I decided to start asking questions myself, it was really hard, since everyone focused on me especially Naruto-Kun. But the man answered any questions I asked, without question, so whenever I saw Naruto-Kun struggling I would ask questions in his stead and was happy to see Naruto-Kun taking down notes as I did.
I was so happy to be helping him I even asked some of the other questions Naruto-Kun asked near the start and the teacher answered them not noticing they were all questions Naruto-Kun asked him before.
I was happy to be helping Naruto-Kun in some way, but also sad and angry because that man just refused to give Naruto-Kun any help like a Sensei should.
As Naruto read through he felt happy that Hinata wanted to sit next him and be there for him, but when she started to ask questions on his behalf Naruto couldn't help the smile and lone tear that came to his face. "I remember this was when I tried, at the academy, but the sensei's always ignored me." Naruto felt a spike of angry as he remembered, how much it hurt having the teachers against him before Iruka-Sensei came along. He was happy that Hinata saw it and was angry on his behalf and tried to help him, though he had a hard time imagining her angry. "Hinata-Chan I promise I'm going to make it up to you for all you've done for me over the years."
As class ended, everyone got into groups and started eating lunch together, I saw Naruto-Kun and thought about going over and asking him to eat launch. I was so nervous and by the time I got to Naruto-Kun's seat he got up and left the class. I scold myself for not being able to talk to him like I wanted, so I followed him.
Naruto-Kun went to a training ground close to the academy, I watched as he trained by himself and all launch.
I was really impressed because Naruto kept doing exercise that were difficult for people our age, but he never stopped. He struggled to do, sets of a hundred push ups, sit ups and ran laps.
Naruto-Kun was just so amazing, even though he had so much trouble doing the exercise he didn't stop, until he finished and then started all over again.
As I watched Naruto-Kun, I could see the sweat roll down his head and his shirt stuck to him, clinging to him and showing off some already developed muscles. His hair was wet from the sweat and he seemed to sparkle as the sun hit the droplets. I couldn't help, but think Naruto-Kun, looked so…what's the word hot, that's what I remember some of the older Hyuga describing boy's like that and I couldn't help, but agree. As I watched Naruto-Kun train I just felt so warm and light headed like I would faint, so yes hot was defiantly the word I would use to describe Naruto-Kun
Suddenly I heard a loud grumbling noise, and the bell rang, I realised that I spent the whole lunch break watching Naruto-Kun. I never had my lunch and neither did Naruto-Kun, seeing that it didn't seem like he brought one, I thought about seeing if he wanted to share mine, but class started so I decided to wait until the day ends.
Naruto was blushing his face going red as he read that Hinata watched him train "Hinata-Chan thinks I'm hot." Naruto hand tugged at his collar as he tried to cool down, his body heating up as Hinata descried how she thought he was hot and the detailed notes and even some drawing, of how he looked. And if he looked closer he would see some red dried blots on the page that were faded away from years ago. Naruto was embarrassed and impressed by the detailed drawing of himself Hinata did.
Class went on like before and when it ended, I tried to approach Naruto-Kun to eat my lunch with him, but I was stopped as Ko grabbed me. I tried to go to Naruto-Kun, but Ko refused and dragged me off as I watched Naruto-Kun take a seat on the swing. I saw that he was sad, his face looking so lonely and empty, it hurt seeing Naruto-Kun like that, it just didn't suit him, but then I heard the them. The adults said so many mean things about him, like he shouldn't be there, or he was a monster and so many worse things. I was useless to help Naruto-Kun as they insulted him and I just keep seeing Naruto-Kun sad face over again, I... I failed him, if only I sat next him or tried harder maybe Naruto-Kun wouldn't have looked so hurt.
As Naruto read the last bit he couldn't help, but see some tear stains, proof that Hinata cried for him that day. Naruto felt so stupid as he read how much Hinata was hurt over him back then and he didn't even notice so caught up in his own troubles to see, the one person who cared for him, the one who cried for him. "Hinata-Chan it wasn't your fault." Naruto whispered as he re-read the last line. Having learned so many secrets about Hinata, Naruto decided to keep reading and promised to himself, he was going to get to know Hinata better once he was done, the one person who's always watched and cared for him.
Authors Note: If anyone has any idea about what I can do please say, also I am thinking of having maybe Neji and Hanabi pop up and find out out about some of the things Hinata wrote about them. Stay toned for the next chapter.
Naruto and Hinata Forever:)
