Reflection

Hinata X Tenten

Hinata woke up the day of her cousin's wedding. She was dreading going to it. He had been allowed to marry outside the clan since Hinata had refused to marry him. She had not given reasons, but her cousin seemed a bit crushed that she wouldn't even consider it. He had even confronted her on the issue when they were alone. She simply told him that her heart belonged to someone else. She was sorry and that she didn't want him to be mad at her because of it. Neji had just smiled and hugged her.

"I guess you must be thinking of Naruto.", he said to her.

"Actually no...I am thinking of someone else.", she said to him, but would not tell him who.

A couple of weeks later, Neji came home with his new girlfriend and Hinata felt her heart break.

Look at me

You may think you see

Who I really am

But you'll never know me

Every day

It's as if I play a part

Now I see

If I wear a mask

I can fool the world

But I cannot fool my heart

Throughout the year that Neji and Tenten dated, Hinata would just smile at them and avoid them at any chance she got. Everyone except for Neji just figured Hinata was anxious for Naruto's return from his latest mission. If anyone asked her how she felt about Neji and Tenten's relationship, she would smile and tell them she was happy that her cousin had found someone.

One night Neji came to visit her in her room. He said he needed to talk to her and that he trusted to talk with her more than anyone else.

"What is it, Neji?", she asked him with a smile.

"I want to ask Tenten to marry me and I wanted to know what you thought about it.", Neji said with a smile as well.

Hinata kept that smile on her face even though she wanted to cry, hit him, and tell him that he couldn't marry the one she loved. "I think that is perfect Neji. You two will be very happy together.", Hinata said to him with no hint of sadness to her voice.

"Oh thanks Hinata.", Neji said hugging her. "I am glad you approve of me and her. I hope you get the one you've been thinking of.", he said and then left Hinata's room planning his proposal.

Who is that girl

I see

Staring straight back at me?

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

Hinata slowly walked to her dresser and pulled out her night clothes looking at herself in the jewelry box Hanabi had gotten her for her birthday. She closed her eyes and let the tears flow picking up the jewelry box and tossing it across the room. It made a loud noise which caused her protector, Neji, to come rushing to her door. Before he opened it, Hinata yelled for him to not come in. She could not see him right now otherwise she might try to kill him. Neji stood outside the door concerned for his cousin.

"Are you sure you don't want to talk Hinata?", Neji asked.

"Go away now, Neji.", she said in a strained calm voice.

"As you wish Hinata.", he said to her and left wondering what was wrong. He would wait until she was ready to talk.

I am now

In a world where I

Have to hide my heart

And what I believe in

But somehow

I will show the world

What's inside my heart

And be loved for who I am

A week later was Neji and Tenten's engagement party. Hinata, as a member of the main house, was made to attend the event. She would have gone anyway to offer her cousin support even though she felt like dying on the inside. She had gone over to the happy couple sipping her drink and offering them her congratulations on their engagement. Neji smiled and then went to go talk to someone else leaving Hinata with Tenten.

"Thank you for being so supportive Hinata.", Tenten said brightly.

"Of course.", Hinata said with such a realistic fake smile it would have put Sai to shame.

"So Hinata, how are you? Find that special someone yet? You know love is a beauti-", Tenten said but was cut off by Hinata laughing.

"Love? Beautiful? If anything all falling in love does is lead to heart break. It isn't worth it.", Hinata said.

"Surely Hinata you have been in love before right?", Tenten asked her.

"Yeah, and you know what, it sucks. I get to see the person I love so happy with someone else.", Hinata said sipping more of her drink. She had drunk more than five glasses of sake and well she was definitely feeling the effects.

"Hinata...", Tenten said.

"Sorry it must be the alcohol. Have fun at your party. I am going to go outside for a bit to clear my head.", Hinata said putting that same fake smile on her face and leaving.

Who is that girl I see

Staring straight back at me?

Why is my reflection

Someone I don't know?

Must I pretend that I'm

Someone else for all time?

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

Hinata stood outside beneath the moon and just wished this day would end. She didn't want to be here anymore. She just wanted to leave and never come back. Did anyone realize how hard this was for her? Of course not, she made everyone think she was ok with this. Why couldn't she stand up and take what she wanted? Why was she so nice and sacrificing her heart just so that everyone else could be happy? She drunk the rest of the wine in her glass and went to her room going to sleep.

The next few weeks were torture as she helped with all the wedding preparations as she had become Tenten's maid of honor. She inwardly screamed everytime she was forced to tell Tenten what Neji would like and more. She didn't want to talk about Neji. She just wanted to be with the very woman she was spending so much time with.

There's a heart that must be

Free to fly

That burns with a need to know

The reason why

Hinata got ready for the wedding and then helped Tenten into her dress. It was almost time for the wedding and of course the new bride was happier than ever or so she seemed. Hinata didn't pay much attention and just played the role of the good friend and cousin. She had to do something, but she didn't know what. It wasn't like her to just speak out but would it really be so bad if she did? Maybe Tenten would like her as well. She didn't know. All she knew was she hated this day more than anything at the moment.

Why must we all conceal

What we think, how we feel?

Must there be a secret me

I'm forced to hide?

They were walking down the aisle. Hinata, first and then when she got down there she stood to the side and waited for the bride to come down the aisle. Everyone stood up and Hinata admired how absolutely beautiful Tenten looked in her dress. She smiled wishing that Tenten was walking down the aisle to marry her and not Neji right now. Neji glanced at his cousin and saw the way she was looking at his soon to be wife. His eyes widened slightly as realization hit him. He suddenly felt bad about what he was going to do, but it was too late to fix the situation. He only hoped that Hinata said something before the marriage was complete. He cared for Tenten but never looked at her the way Hinata was looking at her right now. He hoped that his cousin wouldn't sacrifice someone she loved just so that he could be content with his life.

I won't pretend that

I'm Someone else for all time

Hinata unconsciously took a step towards Tenten, but stopped as she looked over at her cousin. She was surprised to see that he was looking at her with a smile and nodded. Hinata could have hugged him right then but instead she ran right for the angel who had captured her heart. Tenten didn't look surprised at all. She had a feeling Hinata had feelings for her, but never said anything. After all, everyone expected her to eventually end up with Neji. Hinata stopped in front of Tenten removing the veil from her face to see Tenten smiling.

"Well it certainly took you long enough.", Tenten said teasingly.

Hinata smiled. "Well I wont take any longer then.", she said and kissed Tenten in front of all the guest at the wedding.

Neji was the first person to start clapping as the two kunoichi kissed and others joined him. He was happy to see Hinata truly smile again. It had been over a year since he had seen it. He just wished he realized the problem before it was almost too late.

They broke the kiss. "I love you, Tenten", Hinata said.

"I love you too Hinata.", Tenten said to her with a smile.

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

The wedding continued on, of course, and the celebration continued well into the night. The newlyweds went to their room and hugged one another getting undressed and kissing each other.

"Mine forever.", Hinata said to the new Mrs. Hyuuga.

"Always.", Tenten said kissing her lovely wife again.


The song is "Reflection", by Christina Aguilera

All characters belong to Kishimoto not me.

I chose this song to pretty much because of Hinata's actions and to show a bit how she felt during the whole thing with Neji and Tenten. It was like she had to hide who she really was...for any of you who didn't get it. I am also a sucker for happy endings which is the only reason this has one. Though rest assured not all of my song fics will have happy ending.
