Disclaimer- *head boils over with toxic fumes* I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY WE FANFICTION WRITERS HAVE TO PUT THIS STUPID DISCLAIMER HERE BECAUSE WE OBVIOUSLY DONT OWN WHOEVER WE ARE WRITING ABOUT! REASONS: (1) MOST OF THESE ARE IN ENGLISH, SO THAT MEANS MOST LIKELY WE LIVE IN AMERICA, NOT IN JAPAN WHERE ALL OF THESE ANIME'S ARE MADE! AND I KNOW I LIVE IN AMERICA, SO I'M OBVIOUSLY NOT FUCKING MASASHI KISHIMOTO (2) THESE ARE CALLED FANFICTIONS FOR A REASON. WANT TO KNOW WHY? ITS BECAUSE ITS A FANfiction, fucking dolts (NOT you guys, your awesome) (3) I KNOW THAT IM WRITING ABOUT A COUPLE I WANT TO BE IN THE ACTUAL SHOW, AND IF I OWNED FUCKING NARUTO ( WHICH IS WORLD WIDE, AND I WOULD BE MAKING TITS LOAD OF MONEY) I WOULD MOST DEFINATLY HAVE NATUTO AND HINATA SAVAGE EACH OTHER. AND I WOULD NOT BE WRITING THIS WHEN IM SITTING IN AN OFFICE I WOULD HAVE BEING ALL SWEG AND WRITING THE MANGA AND ENJOYING MY MONEY. SO, IN SIMPLE WORDS THAT THESE ASSHOLES WANT ME TO WRITE- I DONT OWN NARUTO, BITCH! (none of the profanity are being used against you, like I said earlier, your awesome as fuck)

Don't give up, Hinata!

*****HINATAS POV*****

When Sasuke interrupted Naruto and I, Naruto started to mumble under his breath about how much he hated Sasuke and how much of a teme he was. He slowly turned around and made his way to the ramen part of the lunch stand, immediately his face burst with excitement. I followed after him and grabbed a bowl of ramen for myself.

"Hey, guys, where are we gonna sit this time?", Tenten asked. I wonder what she meant.

"OOOHH!, I found a GREAT spot!", Ino yelled enthusiastically. She quickly, but carefully, made her way to an oak tree with her lunch. A nice circle of planted flowers surrounded the tree. There was a good amount of space in front of the tree, inside the perimeter of flowers, to fit at least 15 people- so it was more than enough space. It was absolutely stunning. Naruto ran there with his ramen not dripping a bit and plopped himself down in the grass.

"This is REALY comfortable! Come sit down, guys!", Naruto shouted to us and waved is arms frantically. I gave him a small smile and headed towards the tree. But I didn't know my first day of school was going to be so embarrassing.

When I walked towards Naruto, Ino, and the tree, a hand made it's way under my tray and knocked all of the ramen onto me- splashing it all over my clothes. And to be honest, I think it was hotter than what I expected. In surprise I fell backwards, hitting the ground for the second time today. The burning and fall's pain mixed together and my body started to shake a small bit. It happened all so fast, my memory blurred of what I was originally doing.

And I think you know exactly who was standing over me. Karin, Mikoto, and Ammi. Even with the stinging pain, I let out a low growl.

*******NARUTOS POV*******

I ran to the beautiful sight that Ino showed us, and sat down, ready to enjoy my RAMEN!

I glanced up to see everyone heading my way. I scanned the field as my eyes landed on hair that was as red as blood. Karin. She was heading in Hinata's direction. I gathered all my breath to yell, but it was too late. Next thing I knew, Hinata was lying on the ground, her clothes wet and she looked like she was in a good amount of pain.

I didn't notice earlier but everyone was next to me, watching with concern. I couldn't stand her being hit to the ground- I had to go help. When I tried to stand, a hand slammed itself onto my shoulder and softly, but roughly at the same time, pushed me to the ground. I looked up to see Sasuke. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and anger.

"Teme! Let me go help!", I yelled, releasing the breath I didn't know I was holding.

"She can do this by herself, Naruto. Don't burden yourself so much. You saved enough people, it's time you lay back and stop worrying so much...show off.", he replied, his voice even and he smirked at his last remark. I let out a sigh, understanding where he was coming from...but I couldn't help but feel some guilt.

I turned my head and my eyes widened. Hinata was smacked across the face, causing her to fall back down. I try to lock eyes with her to tell her somthing- anything but all I see are tears lining her milky white eyes. My vision started to pump with red. Sasuke had a hold on me, so I couldn't do anything but watch. I had to at least say something.

"HINATA! Do something, your killing me! Get back up, datte-bayo! Your just going to take that from scum like her!? I thought you knew how to fight!? Get up Hinata! Never give up!", I yelled- my father's, the ero-sensei's, and my saying, bursting out of my mouth. It gave me a tinge of serenity because it reminded me of the book- Tales of a Gutsy Ninja.

But I was soon severed from my thoughts as Hinata got on her hands and knees, wiping any dirt/ramen she could get off of her.

My mind flew into high hopes. But was hammered down just as fast as it came up: Karin smashed her foot against Hinata's back.

******HINATAS POV******

As I was slapped across my face, my will power gave up with my body. Yeah, I knew how to fight- I'm pretty damn good at it too. But, my dad, he never taught me how to face my insecurities.

"Your a weird eyed freak, just like your stupid cousin.", Karin spat out. Tears threatened to spill out of my eyes. When I was little, this was exactly what I was teased about- my eyes. But...someone, I forgot who, helped me and became my friend. He was the only friend I ever had until I had to move to Suna. He was a person I wish I never forgot.

"Your weak. All you have are your stupid words. You don't live up to the Hugaa name. And your supposed to be the hier", Mikoto scoffs," yeah, right tell me when pigs fly and then I MIGHT consider it.", and here is another problem I have. My dad: he didn't praise me like he did my sister. She was the main house's prodigy. Of course he wouldn't pay attention to me. Even if I'm supposed to be the next heir.

"You did your research.", I reply, softly, ending my fight.

Then, I hear a voice. He's yelling- Naruto. I hear my name and then I start to tune in to what he is saying.

"Your killing me! Get back up, datte-bayo! Your just going to take that from scum like her!? I thought you knew how to fight!? Get up Hinata! Never give up!", he yelled. You could hear the sadness in his voice. But, with the last phrase he made emphasis to it. It sounded much more important than all the rest. I lowered my gaze.

"Thank you", I quietly whispered. It was for Naruto, but I decided to keep it to myself. I needed to be focused.

I lifted my upper body with my hands, following my knees. Just when I was about to rise, a stinging pain shot me back down to the ground.

"Stop trying to be strong, Huuga.", Karin raised her voice, a poison underlying her words. A poison I managed to deflect.

Quickly, ignoring the pain, I turned onto my back, grabbed Ammi's foot and sent her flying into the ground. I got up as quickly as I could, going into the stance I was taught (her juuken stance). It's not a very common one, now days, but it was passed down in the generations of the clan.

Mikoto ran towards me, attempting to punch me. I waited until she got close and then spun on my right foot until I got behind her, pulling her hair. She screamed, and as if on cue, Karin ran towards me, faster than what I thought she had in her.

When Karin reached about a foot away, I swung Mikoto around and Karin ended up kicking her in the stomach, causing her to double over.

Its only Karin and I, now.

*****NARUTOS POV*****

I can't believe it! Hinata followed up on what I said! Yes, datte-bayo! She's pretty damn good at fighting too!

As Karin slammed her leg into Mikoto, Hinata backed away, regaining her stance. I look out the corner of my eye to see a smirking Neji. Aside from that, it's only Hinata and Karin.

She (Hinata) didn't move a muscle, but slowly closed her eyes, her face gaining a form of serenity.

"Don't get so cocky, bitch!", Karin yelled across the field of lunch tables. Hinata just smirked in a response.

Karin sneered and ran as fast as she could towards Hinata. The midnight haired beauty didn't open her eyes- not yet, at least-, instead she twirled around Karin and jabbed her in the back, then striking her eyes open with a glare that could kill- if it was possible.

Karin stood back up, with ease. "Give up, Hugaa. Your not strong! Your just a piece of a pathetic being.", this struck all of my nerves.

"*mockingly gasps* You actually have more words than a dictionary squished into a maximum of ten in your stupid little brain?", Hinata faked surprise, she earned a growl from Karin.

"As I said earlier, GIVE UP!", Karin screeched, raising her voice with each syllable.

Hinata ran forward.

"GIVE UP", I yelled. Hinata raised a fist. "ON TRYING TO MAKE...", I continued.

Hinata jumped up, ready to punch, "HER GIVE UP!", I finished as Hinata landed her punch on Karin's face, sending her to the floor as Hinata landed on her feet.

She turned my way and smiled, holding her left arm straight and held that arm's elbow with her right hand, close to her body. With that, Sasuke let me go and as I was running towards Hinata, the whole field cheered exept for a few fan boys of Karin and her group.

Hinata's face turned red and I had a slight blush run onto my cheeks. Without thinking, I picked up Hinata by her waist, swinging her in my arms as a vision ran through my mind- A girl was against a brick wall next to a coffee shop, my arms on her hips. We were lost in each other's eyes as I was leaning forward and softly placed my lips upon hers. Her hands intertwined themselves into my hair, deepening the kiss. At that, it faded away.

Again, her beautiful laughter pulled me out of my reverie. I quickly realized what I was doing and put her down. I had a bigger blush that deepened in color. I turned my head and scratched the back of my scalp. nervously laughing.

She put her hands behind her back and put her knees together with a deep crimson blush ever so present on her pale cheeks. Again, she looked as cute as ever. Why does she do this to my heart- even if it's unintentional?

*******HINATAS POV*******

When Naruto pulled me up into the air, I felt as if I was flying. I looked down at his face and he had the most beautiful smile anyone could have. It was unachievable by anyone else. It was great. I couldn't help but crack a smile up towards the sky, making my stomach swirl in laughter. I let out my laugh, as Naruto brought me down quickly.

When I reached the ground, realization filled my head of what just happened. I directed my gaze towards Naruto and he was nervous. You could tell by him scratching his head, laughing nervously, and he turned away with a blush on his cheeks... Wait. Blush...on N-Naruto's cheeks!? Wonderful, I'm even stuttering in my head. Great accomplishment, Hinata. My legs turn towards each other, my knees touching and I clasped my hands behind my back. Why am I so shy around him? It's only the first day of school.

My mind wandered to the end of this little 'predicament'. Naruto...what he said when I was going to punch Karin, it was heart lifting. Where did he get his personality from? It's awes-

A loud voice sucked me out of my thoughts.

"Just what is going on out here!? Everyone, sit down! Now!", it was Tsunade-sama. Grand. Her eyes landed on Naruto and I, an angry look upon her face. She then glanced at all three other girls lying on the ground. Her gaze became a scowl as her eyes landed upon me, inspecting my clothes and face. She eventually came up to me, the frown still evident as ever.

"Y-yes, Tsunade-sama?", I ask, mustering up the most innocence I could.

She gave me a blank look, but with anger sewed into her hazel eyes. "I thought you knew better than you use your training against them."

"B-but-", I was cut off, my mind jumbled up.

"No 'buts', Huuga."

"Hey, grandma Tsunade! Lighten up! They were kicking her to the ground, datte-bayo! And she has a name. It isn't just 'Hugaa'. Why do people keep calling her by her last name anyways? It's so annoying!", Naruto barges in. What's with the 'grandma Tsunade'?...they must be close, then.

"Hey, you little brat! I told you to stop calling me that!", She sighed, then continued. "Anyways, to answer your question, everyone calls her by her surname because, like yours, it's from high family, and it's just easier to remember, okay?", Tsunade replied, irritated. I didn't know Naruto's name was from high family, too.

"Oh! You could've just said so! Ehh, but what're you gonna do about this", Naruto said, gesturing to the two groaning sluts that were in much pain and the one passed out Karin.

Tsunade pinched the bridge of her nose and let a heavy groan escape her lips. "I don't know. Their parents are going to put up a fight with you, Hinata. You should have just done nothing, I guess.", I feel my insides burn with...an emotion I can't put my finger on. Naruto clenched his fists and tightens his jaw, he let's a low growl out.

"How the hell was she supposed to just let them kick her and do all of these things to her! They are all asshole's, grandma Tsnuade! They deserved this, they never get hurt because so many people are scared to do something and stand up for themselves." he turns his head towards me and gives me a big foxy grin, creating little crinkles at the side of his eyes. "But, Hinata, she's better and much more brave than everyone else!", Naruto added.

'No. That isn't true. I did this because of you. You helped me, Naruto.', I wanted to say, but my throat went dry and I couldn't get the words out.

Tsunade sighed once more. "I see. I'll try to deal with this", she turns to me with a serious face. "and hopefully, this won't get to your father, Hinata.", I deflated on the inside. I didn't want anyone to ask questions. And Naruto was bound to ask SOMETHING.

******NARUTOS POV******

I wondered what Tsunade meant by 'And hopefully this won't get to your father, Hinata.' Did her dad have some problem with her? I don't think he should. I decided to push it aside, I didn't want to get into her personal business. I wanted to make her saddened face into a happy one.

"Hey, Hinata, let's go get you another bowl of ramen! Then you can take your spot in that really soft grass that Ino found!"

So, how did ya like the chapter, eh, eh? Anyways, I hope you liked the little drama in this... So yeah! MYK-ON, congratulations! Ja-ne!
