Hinata stood in the doorway of the stage room, waiting for Sai to exit. She had remembered their little 'date' was today and Hinata couldn't keep the blush off her cheeks. Kiba and Shino offered to follow along at a safe distance, for her own protection and then she got a call from Neji saying that if anything happened he was a phone call away and was never too far. Hinata politely denied their 'services' and she reassured Neji that Sai was a nice guy that he didn't have to worry too much about. Hinata looked down at her clothes and felt a bit too causal, seeing that Sai was in black skinny jeans, black converse and a grey 'above the influence' sweatshirt left open to reveal a white t-shirt. Hinata was dressed in faded jeans and a large purple sweat shirt, with white sneakers on; she did feel that Sai had much better taste in clothes then she did. Hinata was pulled form her worry when Sai stood before her and waving his hand in front of her.

"Hinata," he smiled as he finally got her attention, "are you alright?" Hinata blushed and nodded, he stood strait, "Good, lets go 'hang out'." Hinata and Sai then walked out not noticing the others watching.

"I can not believe she said yes," Ino said with a smirk, "too bad Chojuro," she said with fake sadness while looking back at him. Chojuro just blushed and looked away, causing the three girls to laugh. "Someone has to follow them and get some pictures-"

"Yamanaka-san," they turned around to see Neji, TenTen, and Lee standing behind them, "I don't believe I heard right. You don't plan on spying on my sister do you?" Ino quickly shook her head and blushed at the site of the Hyuga. Neji smirked, "I thought as much," he looks up too see the couple walking around the corner both smiling and laughing. "We must be on our way," he walked through the group, the other seniors following, "don't spend so much time in the halls, those are the people that get pranked, Uchiha-san Uzamaki-san." He smirked as TenTen and Lee chuckled as they looked back at the pink haired duo.

"I'll get my revenge," Naruto yelled back, "And team eight will be sorry they messed with us!" He turned on his heels and stormed out, muttering things about revenge.

"I always thought the 'avenger' thing would be Sasuke's thing," Kiba said while rubbing his chin and thinking very hard.

"This isn't some kind of anime Kiba," Shino said shaking his head and walking away, "I've got homework to do, and I believe you do too." Kiba sighed and followed Shino back to their dorm room to get work done, and then for Kiba to copy that work Shino had done.

Hinata and Sai walled through the outside of the campus grounds, usually in a comfortable silence. Hinata tried to make conversation, but she and Sai were both more of listeners then talkers. Hinata was about to try and suggest something, until she saw a large water fountain and ran over to it; she loved fountains and always wanted to design one. Sai smiled as he followed her as she sat on the fountain edge and looked into the clear water; she ran her hands over the cool water and smiled happily at the touch.

"Hinata," she looked over to Sai, who had pulled out his sketch book. "Do you mind if a draw you? I think it would be a great if I drew you for a little competition I want to enter." He smiled, "you'd make the perfect model."

Hinata blushed lightly and looked away, "I-I guess that w-would b-be al-alright." She listened to Sai's instructions and lied down on the fountains edge. Hinata faced the sky was her hair fell to the side and she bent one leg up and had one arm behind her head. Sai said she could close her eyes and sleep for a little, since she'd have to stay still for a while. Hinata happily declined and just watched the clouds pass by and listened to the sound of pencil hitting paper.

"Haku was right you know," Sai said softly not looking up form his sketch book, "you do make a great model." Hinata blushed lightly and thanked him, "So Hinata," he glanced up at her, "why did you agree to hang out with me. It was only a dare that you could have happily declined."

"I-I guess I-I really w-wanted t-to hang o-out with y-you," Hinata said in a soft voice and glanced over at him. "Y-you were s-so n-nice a-and I th-thought i-it would b-be fun." She shrugged and closed her eyes. Hinata began to hum a little a soft song that would play in the music box that she had in her room. Even Sai stopped his drawing and listened to the soft hum in a silent bliss; then he quickly went back to work. She opened one eyes and looked back at Sai, "w-why do y-you like to dr-draw?"

"It's always been a part of my family," he answered softly not looking up. "This is how I express myself, through my drawings," he glanced up at her and gave her a real smile, one that met his eyes, "just like how through your singing. You aren't that shy Hyuga that is younger sister to Neji. You are….Hinata, one of the greatest female singers I've heard." Hinata's face turned a dark red and she smiled at him.

"Thank y-you Sai," she said with a sweet voice, "y-you a-are a gr-great singer a-as well." After that they stayed in silence and Hinata decided that the idea of sleep sounded very good right now. She closed her eyes and soon enough, she had fallen asleep and Sai couldn't help but blush at how cute she was as she slept. He continued to sketch out the basics and decided that what Hinata was wearing, wasn't suitable to show off her real beauty. It was a long and tiring hour, but he smiled and nodded at the finished work with approval. Sai looked up at felt bad that he had to wake her up and take her to dinner; she looked awfully peaceful and just beautiful.

He walked over to her and kneeled beside her, "Hinata," he slowly shook her shoulder, "Hinata, you need to get up, before your brother comes and looks for us." He smiled and blushed as she slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes in a cute fashion. "Have a nice sleep," he smirked as she blushed a light pink, but nodded none the less. He held out his hand, "let's get to dinner," he smiled and pulled her to her feet.

"D-*yawn* Did y-you finish th-the p-picture," she asked with a smile, glancing over at his closed sketch book. Hinata wanted to see the final draft, but it seemed that Sai was having fun, not letting her see. She pouted at his smirk and looked away, "w-why can't I-I s-see i-it?"

"Because I'm a jerk," Sai teased sticking his tongue out at her. She giggled and stuck her tongue back out at him, but it looked more childish. They both laughed lightly as Sai held the door open for her and they walked to their own tables. Sai smiled at his friends as he took his seat and smirked at the glare he was getting from a few of them. "Don't be upset, we only hung out. It's not like we went on a date or anything," but the way he said it, totally implied that he went on a date with Hinata and Sai liked to rub it in their faces. It's not like he cared that they hated him, this was a school built on competition and being the best; and Sai planned on being the best.

"Don't get too cocky," Suigestu smirked at him as he bit into his burger, "sunshine will be mine and I'll make sure that you don't get anywhere near her." He glanced over at Hinata's table and smiled, "And let's get real," he leaned back in his chair with a smug look on his face, "you idiots don't possibly know how to court a woman."

"Please," Sasuke scoffed and rolled his eyes at him, "if you haven't noticed, I have the women here eating out the palms of my hand and you…..all you can do is attract sea life." He smirked as he heard Suigestu growl at him, "Like I would have a problem getting any girl-"

"I don't see what's so great about Hinata," they all stopped and looked over to their blonde haired idiot. "I mean, she's cute but she's so quiet and mousy at times. I bet she's a great friend, but girl-friend? I think she'd faint before you even were able to grab her hand." It was weird, since one, Naruto couldn't see the greatness of Hinata. And two, that he was so serious and sophisticated while speaking.

Gaara rolled his eyes and shoved the cake in his hand in Naruto's face, "you're such an idiot." Gaara wasn't surprised when Naruto started yelling in a deep rage, and he wasn't surprised that he stood up and began to make a scene about it; he was surprised when there was a bowl of ice cream on his head and began to drip down his face. Naruto and a few others just laughed, and Gaara's face darkened that in a second, Suigestu had a face full of macaroni. Suigestu stood up and chucked his own piece of cake, but Gaara ducked and he even wished he hadn't.

Pein stood in the isle of the cafeteria, with cake on his face.

Everyone was deathly silent.

Except for one

Hinata couldn't help but let out a snort and tried to cover her mouth and keep back the laughs. She had saw when Gaara shoved cake into Naruto's face, and smiled thinking it was funny, then she saw how Naruto reacted, and then when Suigestu got hit; and then it all went downhill –for them- when Pein got hit in the face. Hinata thought that was even funnier, just the look on everyone's face was priceless. She looked to see that even Neji had a smirk on his face, the two shared a kind of joy for the pain of others; it was a trait that even ran through the family. Ame loved to see Hizashi's face as he watched him worry over Hinata, and Hizashi couldn't help but chuckle at the look of horror on Ame's face when she found out Neji was a player; but Hinata refused to admit it that she enjoyed others pain. Hinata regretted finding all this funny when Pein quickly jerked his head to look at her and Hinata could just read the death-threat on his face. But she was saved when Neji just let out a chuckle, and it sparked the whole table into softly laughing at him, then a full out laughing in his face; Hinata kept back her laughs and began to shrink under Pein's gaze.

"Did that hurt your damn pride, ya' prick," Hidan laughed at the orange headed male. "And I think you f*cken deserve it-" Pein quickly shut up his silver headed counterpart by shoving a bowl of mash potatoes in his face. Hidan then began to yell a string of curses and going to slam down a milk carton on his head, but Pein just side stepped and pushed Deidara in his place. Hidan smirked, still satisfied with his results.

Deidara glared at Hidan with a smirk and then all hell broke loose as he yelled those two magic words: "FOOD FIGHT!"

Jiraiya stood in the ruined cafeteria, his staff holding back a few angered teens and he groaned loudly at the sight before him. There was food everywhere, even the ceiling was covered with the stuff, but luckily there was a Kami and none of the expensive music related thing in the cafeteria was even touched. These kids did have some sense to protect their only entertainment. He watched as Gai wrestled Hidan to the ground and Anko shut the college student up by shoving an apple in his mouth. Orochimaru was making death threats that if anyone got food on his clothes or in his hair, he would fail them. "So," he rubbed the back of his head as he looked around at the few students that didn't run out when it started or were too slow to get out when the staff came, "who started it?"

They all looked at one another, and decided that no one wanted to be the snitch or take the blame. Anko grinned evilly and paced around the teens, "No worry, we'll be here all night with me, and there will be no witnesses-"

Kurenai placed her hand over her crazed friend's mouth and smiled at them, "Don't mind Anko, she's crazy and doesn't know when to stop." She quickly dragged the purple haired away while scolding her. Asuma then stood before the group with a clip bored in hand and an un-lit cigarette in his mouth.

"Let me see," he glanced up at all the students, "the main freshmen are here, and the college students, a few seniors and juniors too." He sighed and checked them all off his list and then looked up and was face to face with a fidgeting, nervous, covered in food Hinata Hyuga, "I'm guessing you took no part in this-"

"She took part," Kiba said glancing her way, "she's the one who put ice cream down my shirt."

"S-sorry," Hinata said looking away with a blush, "b-but you d-did c-cover me i-in c-cake-" she was suddenly jumped by Tobi, which was become more part of her daily routine. She looked up at the college student with a blush on her cheeks, "T-Tobi-sen-senpai, pl-please g-get o-off."

"But Tobi wants to taste Hina-kouhai," he smiled happily and licked her cheek.

Let me repeat that: Tobi Uchiha, licked Hinata Hyuga's cheek.

"Tobi thinks Hina-kouhai is tasty," he rubbed his cheek against the top of her head as Hinata's face turned a new shade of red and she quickly passed out in Tobi's arms.

"Told you," Zetsu said to himself.

Tobi began to freak out and cry, "AHHH Tobi killed Hina-kouhai!" he looked at the others for help but they just sweat dropped and Neji quickly took Hinata form his arms.

"How can you be my senpai," Neji asked shaking his head. He looked up to Asuma, "I'm going to take her back to her room," the teacher nodded and Neji took Hinata back to her room. Asuma still took note that they were there and soon dismissed all the students, but didn't notice that Sakura, Naruto, and Sai snuck away to the girl's dorm in a suspicious way.

In the dead of night, Sakura, Naruto, and Sai stood over Ino's bed, Sakura holding a pair of scissors in her hand and an evil smirk on her face. Naruto stood watch at the door and Sai was making sure that Ino's roommate was still asleep.

Just as they left, they taped on a sign on the door. It read: Team 7

- (Line Break) –

"AHHHHHHHH," every girl in the high school dorm was woken up or jumped as they head the blood curdling scream. Hinata was just getting out of the shower and zipping up her purple hooded sweatshirt, and she began to run to the origin of the scream. Hinata skidded to a stop when she saw Ino standing in her room, the door open, and she held most of her hair in her hand. It had been cut off. Hinata even cringed at the thought; she loved her long hair that she had taken so long to grow to the proper length she liked. Ino had tears in her eyes and she looked down at her long blonde locks, "I'm going to kill whoever did this!"

Hinata glanced away and saw something tapped on her door, "I-Ino-san," she said softly and took the sign off. "I-I have a guess," Ino looked over at her and paled at the sign in her hand that read Team 7.

Ino's face grew hot and she glared at her hair, "You know what, fine," she tossed her hair into a garbage can and tied a little cloth over what was left of her hair that made it look like a bun. "I don't need this hair to be the best, and this 'Team 7' will regret trying to mess with me." Hinata was happy that she was over her hair, but was afraid that the revenge would soon consume the school; because of what she and the others started. Hinata just gave her a nervous thumbs up and went back to her room to get her stuff and get to breakfast.

'I hope this doesn't get too out of hand,' Hinata thought to herself as she held her fist close to her mouth.

Oh Hinata, you have no idea how out of hand I will make this.

- (Line Break) -

Sasuke couldn't help but smirk at the look of Naruto's face when he saw that Sasuke was able to get all the paint out of his hair. It had taken a couple of showers and a run to the stores to get the proper shampoo, but he did it. Sadly, Naruto had no idea that the male had gotten it out and Sasuke refused to share the shampoo he got. He sat down at his table and began to eat the bowl of white rice he had gotten; he noticed that Sakura was unusually happy and kept looking back at him form her table, and not to mention that she hadn't gotten mad at Naruto at all today; it seemed suspicious.

"Hey duck butt," Suigestu smirked, "you got it back to its natural color." Sasuke merely ignored his silver haired companion and only smirk as Naruto still gapped at him.

"I think I liked it better pink," Sai said with a smile, "it suited you." The emotionless dark haired male could only smile at Sasuke's deep scowl and glare, "Just think about it, you and Sakura would match-" he was stopped when Ino slammed the doors open and sent a glare for Sakura, "this ought to be good."

"You little b*tch," Ino glared harder as some girls laughed and gasped at her short hair, "how dare you come into my room and ruin my hair!" Sakura was standing up and just smirking as Ino marched up to her. "I never did anything to you, except being much prettier."

"Please Ino-pig," Sakura said smugly, "if it wasn't for me, you would have failed middle school-"

"If it wasn't for me forehead," Ino flicked Sakura's forehead, which has always been a soft spot for her, "you would have never discovered your inner beauty or outer. I was the one that stood up for you when we were little, I was the reason you grew your hair out and why it's in that style. I made you, I was your friend." Ino stood back with a smirk, "You think cutting my hair off is going to ruin me, oh no," she shook her head, "it will ruin you."

"Alright," Karin stood between them, trying to stop the scene. "We've all been friends since middle school, this is not the time to make an enemy," she then got really close and whispered, "and if you haven't forgotten, the Hyuga is coming up the ranks fast."

"Well that's too bad for you Sakura," Ino still glared at her and moved away form the two. "As far as I'm concerned Hinata Hyuga was the only one to come see me after I found out what you did to me." She turned and smiled at the blue haired girl, "she's a real friend unlike you. Karin," she looked at the red head wearing her regular black glasses, "you better hope she doesn't turn on you too." Ino then was about to walk away, but Hinata stood.

"I-Ino-san," she got and blushed lightly as some looked at her, since she became part of the little scene, "w-would y-you l-l-li-like to e-eat wi-with u-us?" Hinata smiled lightly and nudged Neji who just rolled his eyes and nodded to Ino with approval. Ino smiled and nodded walking over to the table and sitting down with the group. Everyone soon went back to their business and Sakura and Karin went back to their table to eat. "Th-thank y-you," Hinata said softly to Ino, who sat next to her, as she pushed over some of her breakfast, "f-for saying th-those th-things a-about m-m-me."

"It was true," she said as she picked at Hinata's tray, "not even my roommate cared." Ino looked up at her and held out her hand with a smile, "lets start over; I'm Ino Yamanaka, nice to meet you."

Hinata took her hand with a smile, "H-Hinata Hy-Hyuga, the pleasure i-is mi-mine." Hinata and Ino could hardly believe it, but the two looked at the other as a really good friend. Hinata always though Ino was more about looks, and Ino though Hinata was a bit mousy; it seemed they were both wrong. Temari and TenTen even began to like Ino, but Temari and Ino had already started a rivalry with one another only after knowing each other for about five minutes. Hinata looked away and nearly did a double as she saw Naruto and Kiba make their way to the stage. Soon a lot of people began to notice and the two couldn't help but smile at the crowd.

Naruto grabbed the microphone and smiled, "Whose ready to rock?"

"Boo," Suigestu said from his seat, "get a real singer on stage." The cafeteria chuckled a bit and Naruto just glared at the silver haired kendo star.

"That's why I'm on stage," Kiba smirked as he sat beside Naruto. They both sat on stools and each held a microphone on their hands, "we got bored with lunch and since we are the only one with enough balls to come up here and sing," he shrugged as half of the crowd just glared at him. "Even pinkie over here wanted to come up."

Naruto just glared at him with a bit of playfulness, "Your just jealous I can pull this off better then you can," the tow shared a small laugh and Hinata couldn't help but feel happy for the two, and get all warm when she saw Naruto's bright and warm smile. (Billionaire by: Travis McCoy ft Bruno Mars)

Kiba: I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad
Buy all of the things I never had
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine

Oh every time I close my eyes

And last but not least grant somebody their last wish

And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did

Oh oooh oh oooh for when Im a Billionaire

Naruto: I'll be playing basketball with the President
Dunking on his delegates
Then Ill compliment him on his political etiquette
Toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it
But keep the fives, twentys (?) completely separate
And yeah Ill be in a whole new tax bracket
We in recession but let me take a crack at it
Ill probably take whatevers left and just split it up
So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks
And not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was
Eating good sleeping soundly
I know we all have a similar dream
Go in your pocket pull out your wallet
And put it in the air and sing

Kiba: I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad
Buy all of the things I never had
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
[Chorus]
I wanna be a billionaire so frickin bad!

The cafeteria clapped for the two most energetic teens and Hinata stood up and clapped the loudest and with the warmest smile ever. Her whole table soon stood for the two, and couldn't help but eye the bluenette as she stared at the brunette and once blonde; especial a certain pink haired freshmen. The two bowed and really milked all this attention they were getting and a few were jealous at the attention they were getting from the Hyuga, both Hyuga's. Hinata was about to walk up to the stage, but it seemed that a certain pink haired girl came up to her and stood before her and Ino.

Ino glared at Sakura, "What could you possible want from us?"

"Well," she said innocently, "you're still part of my band and I wanted to extend the offer to your friend," Sakura smiled sweetly and held out her hand, "I'm honored to meet Neji-senpai's little sister." Hinata sadden at the thought of only being known as Neji's 'little sister', but she shook her hand anyway. "You are a great guitarist and are…pretty enough to be part of my band." Hinata didn't know whether she was insulted or should feel complimented for her comment. "But we'd have to practice in the auditorium, I hate plying in this dingy cafeteria." Sakura looked around the place and pulled Hinata to her feet and smiled, "Come on, you and I will be the greatest friends!" Hinata was soon being pulled away by Sakura, with Karin and a reluctant Ino. Neji didn't like where this was going and motioned for the others to follow. Sasuke decided that Sakura's "offer" wasn't a good one; he took off after, bringing his table with him. And of course the college kids couldn't help but follow to see what the newest freshmen had up her sleeve.

- (Line Break) –

Hinata looked around the stage in awe, forgetting that it only had been a few days since she had sung in here with Chojuro; she blushed lightly when she saw the slick black guitar that was practically calling to her. Ino stood at Hinata's side knowing that whatever Sakura was going to do, wasn't something that Ino wouldn't like. She looked at Sakura, who only smiled sweetly and motioned for her to get to the drums in the back. Sakura grabbed another guitar and stood at the microphone and smiled as the others came into the theater, but she didn't see the college students sneak into the back and watched from the far back. "You ready Karin," Sakura asked and looked back at the bassist that only nodded and took a quick glance at Hinata, who tuned the guitar. Sakura looked back at Hinata, "This one is for you Hinata Hyuga."

Hinata didn't like the malice in her voice and suddenly regretted coming with Sakura. (Misery Business by: Paramore)

I'm in the business of misery,
Let's take it from the top.
She's got a body like an hourglass; it's ticking like a clock.
It's a matter of time before we all run out,
When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth.

I waited eight long months,
She finally set him free.
I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me.
Two weeks and we caught on fire,
She's got it out for me,
But I wear the biggest smile.

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.
It's gonna just feel so...
It just feels so good.

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change.
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change.
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged.
I'm sorry honey, but I passed it up, now look this way.
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you.
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who,
They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right.
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him right now.
And if you could then you know you would.
It's gonna just feel so...
It just feels so good.

Hinata couldn't believe what was going on. Sakura practically sang to her and not only that, she eyed Naruto with those seducing eyes. Hinata felt tears sting at her eyes as she looked away from the pink haired singer and felt her heart brake. She mentally sighed and thought it was stupid that she thought she could ever get someone like Naruto; he was so confident and she could barely talk without stuttering over her words. She looked back at Ino, who could only mouth 'I'm sorry.' Hinata tried to get over the fact and just tried to tone out Sakura, as her heart slightly ripped in half.

I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving...

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.
It's gonna just feel so...
It just feels so good.

The others just clapped, since not clapping would only upset Sakura more; she enjoyed it and bowed and threw a wink at Naruto, who blushed a light pink. Hinata took in a shaky breath and tried to clam herself down; she just fell for the guy and now it was taken away from her. Ino was about to go comfort the girl, but a sole clapping came from the back, and they all looked to see Pein walk out from the shadow where he and his friends hid. Sakura couldn't help but blush and fixed her ruffled skirt.

"Miss Haruno," he smiled, "you are quite good at singing, a voice of an angel really." He walked up to the stage and politely asked for the guitar in Hinata's hand; she nodded and handed him the guitar and was about to walk off stage. "Hina-kouhai," he said with a smirk, "I believe it's your turn. I'd like to play for you, if you don't mind."

"A-ah," she said with a blush, "I-I would l-li-like t-to he-hear Karin-san s-sing," she said hoping she could just get out of singing; she wasn't really in the mood.

Pein looked back at the stunned red head, "Well Miss Karin," he motioned to the microphone, "the stage is yours." He pulled the guitar off and walked over to the mix machine and Ino, Sakura, and Karin put their instrument down and moved to a microphone Karin taking the center one.

"Go speckles!" Suigestu yelled form the seats and smirked at the glare she sent him. Karin moved the microphone to her height and couldn't help but feel nervous. She has never sung in front of a crowd, only once but it was a duet with someone else; and this was her peers, she couldn't avoid them and if she chocked Suigestu would never let her live this down. She pulled at the collar of her shirt and swallowed loudly. She looked to the crowd and let out a big breath (Never had a Dream come true by Club7)

Everybody's got something they had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go

I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you

Somewhere in my memory
I've lost all sense of time
and tomorrow can never be cos yesterday is all that fills my mind
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it should be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go

I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be

You'll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will, you know you will
Oh baby, you'll always be the one I know I'll never forget
There's no use looking back or wondering
Because love is a strange and funny thing
No matter how I try and try I just can't say goodbye
No no no no

I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say (words to say)
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be
A part of me will always be with you

The crowd clapped happily and Karin smiled big and brightly, fixing her glasses and blushed a light pink. Hinata clapped for her from back stage but she jumped as a hand grabbed her arm. She turned around and sighed in relief when it was only Obito, the martial arts co-coach (*), Hinata smiled and bowed to him, "W-what i-is i-it Uchiha-sensei?"

"Hyuga-san," he said softly looking down at his clip board, "I was hoping to talk to you in private, but" he chuckled lightly and rubbed the back of his head, "this is the best I'll get, huh? I wanted to talk to you about joining-"

"Obito," they both looked over to see Itachi standing behind Hinata and looking at Obito with hard eyes, "I know you and Kakashi-sensei are good friends, but don't tell me you borrowed books from him?" Obito's face light up a bright red and Hinata could feel the heat radiating off of him.

"No, no, no, no, no my little cousin," Obito forced a smile out and waved his hands in front of his face, "I just need to speak to Hyuga-san about a few things-"

"I believe she should be getting to class," Itachi then looked down at her and Hinata took it as a 'get out and let the adults talk' look and quickly ran out, right after bowing to the two. Itachi looked back at Obito as he heard the back door close. "You sick perverted man, get a girlfriend your own age."

"I don't know who shoved that stick further up your rear Ita-chan," Obito said with a pout, "but I was not hitting on a girl much younger then myself. And you," he smirked at the stoic Uchiha, "shouldn't be so jealous and possessive of the little Hyuga, you'll scare her away." Itachi just let out a grunt and walked away form Obito who only smiled in victory. "Score one for the man in goggles!" He smiled brightly and walked out, having to get to his own class; Math teacher for the junior class.

Hinata sat in her Literature class and smiled as she wrote down the plot line for the story she would like to read, and the top voted one would be the class plot to the short story they were making. Hinata's story was more like a 'no love' love story. Where the girl doesn't get the guy, but she's happy in the end, but she wrote it out as more of a song then a story. She sighed and looked out the window and smiled as the light wind blew the flowers and moving the flower petals. She suddenly missed her home, Ame and Hizashi, even her own little wolf that use to visit her. Hinata missed being able to go out and work in the garden with her mother and watch as Neji tried to beat their father in a sparing match.

"Hinata," she looked over to Shino, "hand in your story." Hinata blush a light pink as Suigestu just looked at her with a smirk, holding his hand out for her paper. She muttered an apology and handed him her work and thanked Shino. "If you're already home sick," he said softly fixing his glasses, "we could catch a bus to your house this weekend."

"R-really," Hinata smiled happily, "I-I b-bet O-Okaa-san an-an-and O-Otou-san wo-would love to m-meet you a-and Ki-Kiba-kun." She thought aloud and nodded happily, "th-that sou-sounds gr-great."

"Am I invited," Suigestu smiled devilishly looking back at her, "Unless you don't want me to come…" he trailed off looking sadden.

"Of course you c-can," Hinata reassured him, feeling bad that he thought she didn't want him to come. "C-come w-with u-use i-if you l-like."

"Great," he smirked, suddenly feeling better and making Hinata feel like an idiot.

'I'm so gullibly,' she mentally smacked herself.

- (Line Break) –

Hinata panted loudly as she walked off her long run, trying not to be dead last in the regular run before the gym class actually starts. She didn't know why that her two crazy teachers were such fans of pushing the kids till they fall on the ground and pass out, but she guessed she rather not know. She pulled at her shorts that were a bit too short for her liking and followed the crowd who stood before the two crazed teachers. Hinata stood in the back along side the sophomore that went by the name Kin. Kin had very long black hair and had that look of 'don't-mess-with-me,' which Hinata understood crystal clear; her skin was a normal peach color and she had dark eyes.

"Alright my youthful students," Gai announced with a bright smile, "Today we will be playing a youthful game of dodge ball!" Hinata paled and nearly just passed out. Hinata wasn't good with this kind of stuff, sure she could do it, but she really didn't want to. Not to mention that Sakura would most likely be aiming for her. As the teams divided up, Hinata only knew a few of the students on her side. She had Kin and Gaara and a whole bunch of other juniors and sophomores. On the other side, she saw Sakura, Karin, and Lee then about one senior and a whole bunch of sophomores. She decided to play it safe by staying in the back and whenever she did get a ball, she threw it to one of the other guys that.

"Come on!" Anko yelled," I seen better throws at the grade school! Put some muscle into it and dodge for your life!" Hinata shivered at her evil smile and avoided the red rubber kick balls that best she could, nearly getting nailed in the face. She avoided a lot of the game, until it was down to her and a few of the others on her and the other team; she decided that she should at least catch them and get a few people out, but it was harder then it looked. Hinata just kept 'dodging,' or what she called not getting hit by jumping away like a scared little girl. Hinata was nearly out until a large hand caught the ball that nearly hit her and she looked up to thank the very tall junior.

"Th-thanks," she said softly with a smile and a blush. He looked down at her and gave her a nod and went on to throw the ball at the boy who had also been the one to nearly hit Hinata. On the up side Hinata did catch one and it was the one that Karin had thrown. But then was being targeted by Sakura until she was out by a throw from Kin. By the looks of it, Kin didn't like Sakura, but had a respect for her…somewhat. Hinata looked over at the boy that had come to her aid and not only was he very tall, but had spiky orange hair.

"Look out!" Hinata turned and jumped out of the way of another ball. "Pay attention Hyuga," Kin said with a glare as she threw another ball at Lee, "I like to win you know."

"S-Sorry," Hinata said with a light blush on her cheeks. She paid attention this time and saw that she had made it pretty far in the game. Gaara soon got out and then Kin, then it was herself and the tall boy against Lee and some senior that was smirking at the two. "Wh-what do w-we do," Hinata asked the large boy, "I-I'm not very g-good at th-this…." she dwindled off.

"Just stand there," he said as he positioned her right in the middle of their side of the field. "I'll do the rest," he walked off to grab a ball as Lee and the senior took aim at her.

Hinata paled slightly but couldn't take her eyes off the two that were aiming at her. "U-Uh….c-can I-I move n-now?" She was about ready to run, but the junior had told her to stay. She closed her eyes tight and waited for impact.

"Put your arms out," the junior had said and she held her arms out, but kept her eyes tightly shut. Hinata heard people yelling to her to dodge but she just waited. "And catch the ball," Hinata nodded and then opened her eyes in time to see and feel the ball come right at her and she caught it, but do to the force she fell back to the ground and landed on her bottom. She even watched as he threw the ball which ricochet both balls back into Lee and the senior. Hinata was in complete shock and looked up at the orange haired junior who just smiled at her, "Thank you for listening."

"N-No problem," she smiled and took his hand as he pulled her up with ease. She blushed lightly and bowed to him, "I-I'm Hinata Hy-Hyuga, n-nice to me-meet y-you."

He lightly bowed back, "I'm Jugo, an honor to meet a Hyuga."

"And I am Rock Lee," suddenly Lee jumped between the two with a big smile on his face. "I am amazed at your great skills of angels and the direct placement of Miss Hinata!" He looked up at Jugo with sparkles in his eyes, "How did you do it?"

"Luck," Jugo answered with a soft smile.

"Great game," Gai yelled, "now, let us go back so you can change for you're the rest of your youthful day!" He yelled proudly and marched back to the school with Lee in toe, everyone including Anko just groaned and followed along with no enthusiasm. Hinata stayed behind and just walked behind the large group and smiled when she spotted Gaara walking beside her in the corner of her eye. She slowed a bit and joined the red head, just liking the feel of walking beside him. Hinata always felt much safer around Gaara more then she did her own brother, but just being beside him also brought some kind of…..feeling that made her crave something that she didn't have.

"G-Gaara-kun," Hinata said softly looking up at him. He glanced down at her, his own way of saying that she has his attention, "d-do you e-ever fe-feel like you're m-missing so-something?" Hinata didn't get way she asked, but it had been a feeling nagging at her ever since she last heard the soft tune in her music box, she knew the song, but the voice was wrong from what she remembered. She just looked back up at him and was surprised that no one was beside her, he had stopped walking.

Gaara stood in the middle of the court, his own mind not able to wrap around the simple question. But it only brought up another question: Was he missing something? His first thought would have been no, but the more it plagued his mind the more he thought maybe…there was something missing. Gaara starred into the distance and it seemed to fade away as he thought of what it could be, but as something grabbed the sleeve to his tee-shirt and he was brought back to the gym court room and Hinata standing beside him with a concerned face.

"Are y-you alright G-Gaara-kun?" she asked with great concern and slight worry. "I-I didn't m-mean to o-offend y-you in any wa-way."

"It's alright Hinata-san," he nodded and put his hand on top of her head, "do not worry yourself over me and my petty problems." He looked down at her and couldn't help but smile at her pout. "I'll wait for you." Hinata jogged over to the girls' locker room as Gaara just walked to the boys' not in much of a rush to go see the "others" at the lunch table. Gaara has been having a real problem with Suigestu ever since that one incident and whenever he saw the guy he had to keep from beating him up again. Not to mention that the Uchiha has gotten a bit more of a problem then last time, and it seems that they have all started a silent war between one another. He knew that the blue haired Hyuga may be smart, but not when it came to matters like this, she was probably clueless and didn't know that she might have a few suitors. Or, she played not knowing very well. He sighed softly and entered the loud locker room avoiding the fight that had started.

- (Line Break) –

"N-ne, Gaara-kun," Hinata said as she walked beside him happily with a slight bounce in her step. "H-Have you si-signed up for M-Martial arts?" he looked down at her and give a short nod and held open the door for her as they entered the cafeteria. "I-I was th-thinking o-of taking p-part," she blushed lightly and sat down beside Chojuro who was reading. "H-hello Chojuro-k-kun."

"H-hello," he smiled at her as he fixed his glasses, "hello G-Gaara-san."

"Hey," Gaara nodded at him as he sat back against his chair and let out a low growl when Suigestu took a seat at the table. "How was your day shark-bait?"

Suigestu just smirked at the red head, "Just great after sunshine invited me over this weekend." Gaara spite out his water in a comical fashion and Chojuro had ducked just in time to miss that spray. "Just a nice weekend with sunshine-"

"O-oh right," Hinata smiled brightly not really getting the meaning behind Suigestu's words, "would you two like to come along?" This time Suigestu spite out his water in a comical fashion and Gaara had smirked. "Sh-Shino and K-Kiba were go-going to come by, b-but I d-don't think O-Okaa-san and Outo-san w-will mind." Hinata smiled brightly at the other two.

Suigestu wiped his mouth, "I think they might be busy sunshine-"

"I-I'm free," Chojuro smiled.

"I'll be there," Gaara said and smirked at Suigestu, "you and I can hang out shark-bait." Suigestu and Gaara then had a lightening bolt moment and Hinata could only giggle and eat her bento.

- (Line Break) –

Ino sat in the back of her advisory and glared at the back of Sakura's head with a deadly aura around her. She looked over to her sleeping companion and nudged him, "Shikamaru," she whispered harshly, "I need your help-"

"No," he said dully and didn't even lift up his head, "now let me sleep troublesome women."

"You help me and I get you a key to open the door to get to the roof," she smiled as he watched him think it over.

"I'm listening," he said sitting up and stretching. He leaned back in his chair and looked at her, "what do you want?"

"Help me get back at Sakura for this," she said pointing to her new hair bun and glaring harshly. "Your smart and I'll need yours and Choji's help. I would do this myself but Sakura was still once my best friend, she'll be on to me." Shikamaru thought it over and then pulled out his phone and sent a text to someone. Ino just watched him slightly worried that he wouldn't help her and she'd be left to do this on her own. He waited a moment and he read over a text he just got. "So," she pleaded, "will you help?"

"Meet Choji and me outside the girl's dorm at ten and we'll have what you need." He gave a smirk and devilishly eyes, 'This one is for Hinata Hyuga.'

- Later that night-

Ino went out the back door and smiled when she saw the two males dressed in all black just like herself and was curious at the two posters in Choji's hand. She ran over to them and gave them a grateful smile, "I owe you two big times."

"What are friends for Ino-chan," Choji smiled at her and gave a can of spray paint, "And I find this fun."

Ino smirked evilly, "I'll get my revenge now," she looked back at the two, "Come on I have a key-"

"Actually Ino," Shikamaru said, "we won't be getting back at Sakura directly, but" he smiled but it was slightly evil, "through another person." He motioned for the two to follow with a nod of his head. "Come on, we only have so long," the three nodded at one another and ran off in the directions of the cafeteria. They stood at the entrance and Shikamaru began to shake his bottle, "Hope everyone is in for a laugh in the morning."

Choji showed her the first poster, "This is the design Shikamaru come up with during dinner," Ino felt a big smile pull at her lips and then looked at the second poster. "I actually drew this one."

"Team 10," Ino asked looking at the two.

"You don't remember," Shikamaru looked up from his 'work'. "We've been best friends for about ten years now." Ino gave him a warm smile and joined him. Choji set down his posters and joined in. It has been one of the best bonding times they had, had in a long time.

"No way"

"I knew she loved him, but this down-right weird"

"All respect, just gone"

"No f*cken way," Sasuke's left eye twitched rapidly as he starred at the graffiti art on the wall of the cafeteria. A lot of other people were laughing loudly, but not as loud as Kiba. "Will you shut the hell up!" He yelled back at the brown haired male with one that could kill a man. On the wall of the school was written 'Future Sakura Uchiha' in many different shades of pink and had taken up the hall wall. There were hearts everywhere and flowers to the point really girly girls wanted to throw up. Sakura was staring at it and completely mortified at the sight and how everyone now deemed her obsessed. Her face burnt red and she knew that Sasuke would never even look at her now. The 'Team 10' poster hung nicely in the tree next to the school.

Kiba just laughed harder to the point he was on the ground and holding his sides, "Or what? You gonna get your wife on me?" He kept laughing as Shino and Hinata tried to warn him to stop. "And I thought I was upset for not having a fan girl, but you can keep them!" Hinata flushed as the Uchiha got closer to the group and glaring daggers at the Inuzuka. "Hinata," he wiped his eyes, "you look paler then normal-achh" Sasuke grabbed his neck and pulled him up to his feet.

"I'm going make you regret this," Sasuke said through gritted teeth.

"A-ah Sasuke-s-san," she forced out a smile, "K-Kiba-k-kun w-was on-only l-laughing-"

"Kiba is an idiot Sasuke-san," Shino said fixing his glasses, "he doesn't know when to shut his trap and I don't think you'd want a detention on your record." Sasuke thought about it and then let go of Kiba, who fell back on his bottom. "Your welcome," Shino looked down at him, "idiot." Kiba just glared at him as Sasuke walked away. "Look at what you started," Kiba stood up and looked at him, "you have gotten the school to break out into this riot of stupidity." Hinata could only nod in agreement.

The three of them walked into the cafeteria to eat and try and find a way to stop this madness, but the angered Uchiha grabbed Suigestu's collar and dragged him to a quiet part of the school to discuss how the two will be getting revenge on the dog male and his roommate. Suigestu offered up that they at least add one more member to the group and luckily Karin had wondered into the classroom by accident. At first she thought Sasuke was going to prank Sakura but enjoyed the idea of getting Kiba and Shino. The Uchiha had been overcome by evil about this to the point were it scares me too much to write about it. Suigestu loved the idea of evil and Karin loved Sasuke so….it all worked out well in the end.

- (Line break) –

"AHHHHHHHH!" Screams awoke every male in the dorm building as Kiba and Shino ran out of their room and a hoard of snakes followed suit. Akamaru was held in Kiba's arms and Shino was panting, but still had time to grab his glasses off the nightstand. Kiba growled low under his breath when he saw the sign on his door that read: 'Team Hebi.'

"I told you this would get out of hand," Shino glared at him and watched as the snakes slithered out of their room and onto school grounds. "What do you propose we do now?"

"I'll tell you what we'll do," he spoke in a low and dark voice that sent chills up Akamaru's spine. "We're gonna prank the college students. Then the whole student body will cower in fear, not wanting to be the next on our list." He walked back into their room, "Come one," he said, "we gotta go tell Hinata." Shino only followed him into their room, shaking his head and knowing that this would only end up bad for them. "This will be one that no one will ever be able to top!" Kiba had gone crazy with revenge and Shino was just about ready to go crazy.

"You can't be serious," Shino asked as the two got dressed and Akamaru hid under his master's bed, now forever afraid of snakes. "Why don't you dig up your grave right now and I'll be sure to hold a funeral for you." Kiba just ignored the pale skinned male and Shino pinched the bridge of hid nose, "How can you believe this will go alright?"

"Cause," Kiba looked back at him with a smirk as he grabbed his book bag and slung it over his shoulder, "we have Hinata, and the innocent shy girl is like our out of jail card." Shino followed the boy out, locking the door behind him and groaning as Kiba walked with a confident stride. Kiba wasn't really that confident, but if he faltered for a second the bug lover would be on him faster then he could blink and it would be the end to his brilliant plan. Shino wasn't the worried about himself and the dog lover, but more of that for Hinata, who would most likely crack under pressure and would not handle interrogation well.

'Kami send us a miracle'

- Later that night –

Hinata trembled as the three stalked through the night dressed in all black. She took the front, having the best eyesight in the dark and Shino took the back; he was quick on his feet and able to warn the others if anything happened. Kiba took center since he chose to lead the group and had hid Akamaru in his coat that was also a great guard dog when needed. Hinata didn't know why she agreed to do this, but it was too late to turn back now; she had sworn she might be an adrenaline junkie. She had heard Kiba's plan and it was slightly flawed in a few ways, but Shino and Hinata had both cleaned it up while in advisory together. She found it odd that it was so easy to get into the college dorm building and that there was no security. Hinata grabbed hold of her bag tighter and swallowed a large lump in her throat, "I-I'm re-regretting th-th-this."

"So am I," Shino said as he closed the back door behind them and they walked through the empty halls. Hinata tiptoed and had the lightest footsteps that not even Akamaru could here. "If we're caught, not only will we have to suffer the wrath of the college students, but get a suspension for sneaking out after curfew."

"S-su-suspension," Hinata said mortified and stopping to look back at the two.

"Hinata," Kiba took hold of her shoulders and looked her right in the eyes, "I won't let you get suspended, even if we are caught-" he stopped when they heard something shuffle inside a room. "Hide," Kiba said as he and Shino took off but Hinata was left then in horror and felt her heart almost beat out of her chest. "Hinata," Kiba said but he took cover when a door opened to reveal a very tired looking Deidara.

"H-Hina-kouhai," he asked in a very drowsy state as he looked at the blue haired Hyuga. "What are you doing here, un? *yawn*" He just watched as she fidgeted under his gaze. "Oh," he smirked, "I know what you're up to, un." Hinata felt herself go rigid.

"Y-you d-d-do-do?"

"Un," he leaned against his door frame, "you got dared to steal something out of one of the college kid's rooms, un." He shook his head and sighed, "You need to be more quiet, un. What if someone else would have heard you? You'd be in so much trouble, un."

Hinata blushed and shrugged, "S-sorry, b-but I-I didn't kn-know how t-to g-get out o-of i-it." She was just going to play along with this or end up getting herself and the other two caught. "C-can y-you he-help me out, pl-please?" Hinata pleaded in hopes of ending this conversation.

Deidara looked back into his room, "Just wait here un," he walked back in and Hinata watched as he went through his things and pulled something out of his nightstand drawer. "Here," he handed her a small sculptor of a rabbit, "I was going to blow this up, but you can keep it I guess, un." He smiled and ruffled her hair, "now get back to your room Hina-kouhai before you get caught, un." Hinata nodded and began to walk away as Deidara closed his door and went back to bed. Hinata breathed out in relief and hid for a moment as Kiba and Shino came back to her side.

"Nice save," Kiba smiled at her, "come on we have work to do." Hinata nodded as she put the clay rabbit in her bag and followed the two towards the rooms of each student that they knew and began their "work". "This is going to be funny."

"Or horribly awful"

- (Line Break) –

The cafeteria was either insane, or the college students really did look that funny. The ten college students walked in with a glare as they had been wearing black t-shirts that had 'Team 8' printed on the front, baggy black jeans, and tennis shoes. But the thing that was the funniest was that they had different colored hair now. Pein had red, Konan had purple, Deidara had blue, Kisame had green, Itachi was brown, Sasori had a light lavender, Hidan's was orange, Tobi had a light indigo, and Kakuza was left with a bright lime green. Zetsu's hair was left untouched for a reason only Shino knows. Hinata had bought al of the hair dye and Kiba had saw it fit that they stick with their hair coloring theme. Hinata was regretting this more and more as even Tobi looked angry and ready to murder someone; she shrunk back in her seat and slowly eat her fruit salad.

"I will find out who did this," Pein said dangerously low, "and you will regret ever thinking about doing this." The students took their seat in the back and the cafeteria quieted down in hopes of living a bit longer. Hinata tried to go on with her day but felt someone's eyes on her, but she didn't dare look back at who it was.

'I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead,' Hinata chanted on in her head as the morning went on and throughout all of her classes she was horribly out of it and as she was leaving P.E it got worse. Hinata and gone out before Gaara, who had to stay after to talk with a teacher, and once she got outside Hinata was grabbed by the arm and pulled into the big theater room. She tried to scream but a hand clamped over her mouth and the person turned her around. She paled at the sight of Deidara and the rest of the group.

"We know you were in our dorm last night Hina-kouhai," Pein smirked as she blushed red.

'This can't be god.'
