Sorry about those stupid (AAN) notes that my brother left. He was very harsh to Hinata and that just can NOT be aloud here. So he won't be leaving any notes anymore, maybe. BUT HIGHLY DOUBTFUL!
(AAN: WHAT?)
Sasuke and Neji were just sleeping in their beds when Shikamaru knocked on their door.
"Naruto if that's you you're dead." Said Sasuke with his eyes still shut
"It's Shikamaru, and Naruto isn't here anymore."
"WHAT!" yelled Neji sitting up in his bed. Shikamaru entered their room and switched on the lights which didn't make them any happier.
"Damn bright lights." Said Sasuke shielding his eyes.
"So where did he go, he didn't leave a note did he?" asked Neji who was also covering his eyes.
"No note, but I'll give you three guesses as to where he went."
"Hinata?" asked Neji
"I thought he said he would see her tomorrow." Said Sasuke who was no longer covering his eyes.
"Well look at the time." Said Shikamaru pointing to their digital clock, "Its 12:33, so technically it is tomorrow."
"Stupid Naruto." Sasuke said falling backwards back into his bed.
"I warned him to not go there while they were doing girl stuff." Said Neji
"What do you think they're doing to him?" asked Shikamaru, Neji laughed.
"Whatever it is I'm sure it's cruel as torture that's for sure."
"In that case I'll get my camera ready." Shikamaru said as he left the room
"Turn off the lights!" yelled Sasuke
Naruto just stared up at Hinata and she was staring right back. His face was getting almost as red as hers which made Tenten, Ino, and Sakura laugh.
"We'll just leave you two alone!" giggled Sakura who ran up the stairs with Tenten and Ino right behind her.
"Oh my gosh, you guys! Sorry about them Naruto." Hinata said giving him her hand to help him up. Naruto took her hand but pulled her straight down so she would fall on his chest. "HUH, Naruto!" He grinned slyly at her.
"You look cuter up close." Hinata blushed, her heart was pounding and she could tell Naruto's was too.
"And you look…greener." She laughed
"Oh….that stuff is still on my face isn't it?" he said scratching the back of his head.
"mhmm, do you wanna…wash it off?"
"Nah I think it's really helping my skin." Hinata laughed at his joke. Naruto started to lean in closer to her and as much as she wanted to move too she just couldn't! Her body wasn't responding at all.
'Why can't I move? Am I just getting nervous, he might kiss me! He's going to kiss me, here he comes! What should I do, WAY TO FREEZE UP HINATA!' Hinata could feel her right arm moving to push him back, but instead of pushing him away she put her finger on his face. Naruto was a little confused to what she was doing. She swiped her finger down his face and stuck it in her mouth.
"WOW, Sakura was right! This stuff isn't half bad."
"You're….eating it?" Naruto asked baffled
"Uhh yeah! Sakura was doing it earlier and it's pretty good."
"Want any more?" he asked smiling slyly at her, Hinata only blushed more vividly then before and leaned closer to him. They were both closing their eyes as they almost touched their target but then they heard three certain girls giggle.
"Heheheheheeehehe."
'Oh GReeaeat!' thought Hinata as she put her head down which Naruto kissed.
"Hey! Why am I kissing your head?" he laughed as he lifted her chin up.
"Naruto," she whispered "My friends are watching us, it's just a little embarrassing."
"…I'm….embarrassing you?" Naruto asked sadly
"NO, of course not. It's just that, if we kiss they're going to laugh which will ruin the moment."
"Ooh. Should we go somewhere else?" he asked furtively
"Well….actually," she began slyly "Why don't you wash your mask off and we can go out side." She swiped the side of his cheek and was about to put it in her mouth when he grabbed her wrist. He stuck her finger in his mouth and began to lick it off.
"Hey this stuff is pretty good, but I think it's only because I taste you too." Hinata couldn't help but smile, but she got up off of him and stood up.
"Come on Naruto, you need to wash that off of you or if you have it too long you'll get a rash."
"Oh no my beautiful face!" he joked as he stood up right in front of Hinata. "Where should I wash up?"
"Over there is the bathroom, you go ahead I'll be right here."
"HAHA…You'd better be!" he ran over into the bathroom not shutting the door behind him so he could still see Hinata. When his face was down in the sink Hinata took a few steps backwards to see her friends leaning over the railing of the "loft" She gave them the evil eye and tried to shoo them away. They only giggled and waved at her making kissing faces.
"Go away!" she whispered to them, but they only stuck their tongues out.
"Would you just GET LOST ALREADY!" she yelled at them which made them scurry away laughing.
"You talking to me?" Naruto asked coming out of the bathroom wiping his face off with a towel.
"Uhhhh, no sorry. You done, cause we can just out on the hammock if you want."
"Sure." He said throwing the towel back into the bathroom and going to the back door. "After you." he said as he opened the door for her.
"You're such a gentleman Naruto."
"When I want to be." He said picking her up around the waist which made her laugh since she was ticklish there.
"Put me down!" she laughed as he spun around with her.
"Okay." He said as he jumped onto the hammock with her still in his arms. Hinata was almost out of breath because she was laughing so much. Naruto couldn't help but laugh too, he was so happy that he was the one who made her laugh so much. He really never had anyone laugh with him, just at him.
"I can't believe this hammock didn't break." Hinata said laughing a bit. "I could have sworn I felt it go down a little."
"Sorry, I guess I weigh it down a bit."
"That's okay, you can't help it."
"I can't help being a lot of things can I? Like being tall."
"Yeah, can't help that."
"But now since we're lying down, I don't need come down to you anymore." He said as he put his arms around her waist. Hinata put her fingers threw his hair which she knew he liked by the way he smile and closed his eyes. They both leaned in closer to each other about to hit their targets again when the hammock fell down onto the hard floor. Lucky for Hinata that she was on top of Naruto, but unlucky for him since his entire back went smack against the porch.
"Naruto…are you okay?" Hinata asked as she got off of him and helped him sit up. Naruto had a dazed look in his eyes like he wasn't even seeing straight. She waved her hand in front of his face and he wasn't even following it. "Naruto!" he was still out of it as she dragged him back inside.
Ino, Sakura, and Tenten were sneaking down the steps when they saw Hinata dragging Naruto back into the cabin.
"WOW HINATA!" began Sakura "Just a kiss and you knock him out! Nice WORK!"
"No, we didn't kiss he fell out of the hammock. Can you guys get him some ice?"
"I got it." Ino said rushing over to the fridge.
"Hey the hammock is BROKEN!" complained Tenten who was looking out side.
"Sorry." Hinata said as Ino handed her over an ice pack. "I just hope Naruto didn't get a serious head injury."
"And make him even worse than he already is, yeah not possible." Said Sakura
"So Hinata, you didn't kiss him yet?" asked Ino
"No every time we try, even when I am soo nervous, something always happens. Maybe it's just not in the cards."
"Oh don't worry Hinata, I'm sure you'll get it!" reassured Sakura
"Why don't we give you some privacy." Ino said walking back up stairs.
"Thanks…..NO WATCHING EITHER!" yelled Hinata
"Fine fine okay." They all said
Naruto, after maybe 6 minutes of ice being on his head finally began to wake up. He looked up to see a smiling Hinata holding an ice pack on his head.
"Hinata….? What happened?"
"Hammock broke." She said bluntly
"Oh…are you okay?"
"Yup, I landed on you. Sorry about that." She said embarrassed
"Oh….no that's okay. I'm just glad I was able to help you out." Hinata laughed and helped him sit up better "How bad does it look?" Hinata removed the icepack to see a huge bump on his head.
"Want me to lie?" she asked cringing
"uhhhh….I guess..not."
"Well it looks pretty nasty." She said "It'll get better soon I'm sure, you just need to…..take care of it…I guess." Hinata leaned over him and kissed where the ice pack was. "Now it'll be all better." She reassured with a smile.
"Thanks Hinata that was the best kiss I got all night."
"It's the only kiss you're getting tonight believe me!"
"….WHA…but…why?" he asked growing sad and pathetic, which Hinata laughed at
"Because every time we try, something happens, so maybe another time."
"AAAWW MAN!" he complained jokingly. Hinata couldn't help it and just gave him a big hug. "Well, this is just gonna HAVE to do!" he said returning the hug.
"I think you should leave now." Hinata was about to say but Naruto cut her off while only making the hug tighter.
"I'm not leaving until you tell me why you never told us you sing so well."
"Umm….uhhh….so you heard me..?"
"Yeah, you're really good. I couldn't believe it was you when I actually saw you singing the second time."
"You mean you've heard me more than once?" she said looking at his face which made her blush since she was so close.
"Yeah the first time we heard you we tried to get into the auditorium to see who it was because it sounded so familiar. We were banging on the doors to get in so we figured you ran away. Then we heard you when we were helping Kiba to the bus, he knew it was you though and when we looked inside you were on the stage singing. You move really nice, I wanted to just jump on stage with you."
"Oh….well thank you."
"So what made you pick all of the songs you sang, or did they give them to you?"
"Well I got to pick what I wanted to sing and I picked songs that really meant something to me. A few…were about you."
"Yeah, I'm great like that!" he laughed, which made Hinata laugh too.
"So now will you go? You seemed tired when I saw you today and I don't want to keep you that long."
"Fine you win, I surrender!" He said falling backwards with his hands in the air. Hinata laughed and grabbed him back up so now he was on his feet.
She dragged him to the porch up to the stairs going down. They were still holding hands and he was about to go down when he began to tell her something.
"You look beautiful in the moonlight." Hinata closed her eyes and smiled at him. Before she opened them back up he quickly pecked her on the lips. "And you thought I wasn't going to get a kiss today like something would interrupt it or somAAHHH!" Naruto began to fall down the steps again. He landed on his head which made the bump on his head get bigger.
"Naruto," Hinata called out almost giddy since he had just pecked her on the lips "You okay?"
"No….I need you to kiss my injury!" he yelled not going anywhere.
"You just stole a kiss from me just now, don't think you're getting another so quickly!"
"…BUT….PLLEEEEEEEASE?"
"Good night Naruto, I lov….hup…" Naruto looked up at her wondering what she was about to say. "Goodnight!" she shrieked as she ran back into her cabin.
"Goodnight." He basically said to himself. "Did she just almost say….she….BELIEVE IT!"
Naruto punched the air and began to run to his path so he could tell the other guys.
"SHIT!" he yelled as he tripped over the same bush he always trips on. "I'm going to kill you shrub." He said to threaten it.
Hinata watched him jump around happily from the window by the door. She couldn't help but do back flips in her mind, but then she laughed out loud when she saw him fall over a bush.
"I love you Naruto." She whispered as she turned off the lights.
Next day all of the guys woke up at seven for their last day of cleaning. They were all really interested in what Naruto did last night with Hinata, and if he had kissed her yet.
"So what happened, did she punch you or something?" asked Sasuke regarding Naruto's slightly smaller bump.
"Nothing, she forgives me and I broke her hammock. Yup, that's pretty much it."
"How'd you break that?" asked Neji
"Well I had her in my arms and I jumped into it."
"Did Hinata get hurt?" asked Neji as Shikamaru said "That explains the bump."
"No she landed on me but MAN did I hit the floor hard."
"So are you going to sneak out to see Hinata every night now?" asked Neji who began to eat his breakfast at the kitchen table with Shikamaru and Naruto.
"Maybe, why not?"
"You're going to go down every day to see her for about an hour and then come back and hope that you don't get caught?"
"Yeah." He said simply
"Then maybe you should not see her tonight." Said Sasuke "Give her some space."
"Absence makes the heart grow founder." Pointed out Shikamaru
"Yeah but it's killing you too. Look at Neji he's about to snap any second now since it's been a while since he saw Tenten."
"What…but I just saw her yesterday." Neji said as he stopped his spoon a few inches from his mouth.
"But don't you wish that you went with me last night?" asked Naruto looking at him deliberately.
"Um…..no course not."
"You're not a good liar." Smirked Sasuke
"So…didn't you wish you could have seen Sakura?" asked Neji
"Why bother, I talked to her online last night."
"But don't you wish you could touch her one more time." Asked Naruto slyly
"…..no…dobe."
"Who's not the good liar now?" asked Neji
"Well, how about Shikamaru?" asked Sasuke trying to get them to talk about someone else.
"Yeah Shikamaru, what about Ino don't you miss her? Didn't you say she was like a chess piece to you?" asked Naruto
"I…did?" asked a puzzled Shikamaru.
"Yeah, last night you were talking in your sleep and said she was like a chess piece blah blah blah."
"Yeah well Ino is like a chess piece."
"Which piece is she?" asked Sasuke
"The queen I bet." Said Naruto
"No of course she wouldn't be the queen, she'd be the king."
"Really?" laughed Neji
"Yeah, she's the king. The piece I would protect with every other piece."
"So does that make you the queen?" laughed Naruto
"No baka, I'm the chess player protecting her from the other pieces."
"Duh Naruto." Said a sarcastic Neji
"So I guess that means you love her." Said Naruto, Shikamaru practically choked on his cereal.
"Wait…I never said THAT!"
"Since when was Naruto so curious about people falling in love?" asked Neji
"Since he fell in love with Hinata." Said Sasuke. Neji looked over questionably at Naruto. Naruto backed up a little and was sweating bullets.
"So….you like Hinata?"
"Uhhhh yeah….is that a problem?" he asked fretfully
"Well……..it's okay with me."
"REALLY?" he asked practically jumping out of his chair, "YOU DON"T MIND! THIS IS GREAT!"
"Naruto hold on, just a second."
"Huh, why?"
"My cousin is the heir to the Hyuuga Corporation; doesn't that mean anything to you?"
"Uuuummmmm, not…….really."
"She's really rich; when she's older she'll inherit everything. She's expected to do so much from everyone important. Her entire future is planned for her; doesn't that mean anything to you?"
"…..no….should it?"
"Naruto are you really this dense?" asked Shikamaru
"What are you guys talking about?" he asked frantically
"Okay listen, CAREFULLY!" began Shikamaru, "Hinata lives in a mansion that makes Sasuke's look like a regular house. She is the heir to the Hyuuga Corporation which is a very serious job. Her father is a stiff, and would probably never approve of you. You're not exactly the greatest thing ever, and you don't have money or anything. Her father would probably kill you before you did anything with his daughter, and I think I just drew the picture for you."
"HINATA"S RICH?" everyone fell over anime style.
"OF COURSE SHE IS! ARENT YOU HER PAPERBOY? DON'T YOU SEE HER HOUSE LIKE EVERY DAY?" yelled Neji
"Oh yeah, I forgot all about that."
"So now do you really want to waste your time with Hinata?" asked Neji "Because her father would never give you a second glance."
"Yes he will." Naruto said determined "I'm going to be Hokage of this village one day so he'll have to look at me with respect. Then I'll be good enough for Hinata!"
"So what….you plan on marrying her or something?" asked Neji
"Well…maybe, but whatever. The point is when I'm Hokage I'll be good for her and everyone, even her stuck up father, will respect me."
"How cute, Naruto is so in love he's thinking about marriage." Said Shikamaru
"Naruto, I…..don't know If I should tell you this but…"
"What, tell me!"
"The branch family heard a rumor a few years ago about Hinata and an arranged marriage."
"WHAT?" yelled Shikamaru and Naruto.
"Yes, we heard that they might marry her off to another powerful family and combined their corporations to make one big one. It was said that this would make the family's even more dominate then they already are."
"Who….WHO?" yelled Naruto
"Who what?" asked Neji
"What family or what person is she supposed to marry?"
"Mine." Said Sasuke glumly.
Ino woke up feeling a little groggy. Her back and upper arms were defiantly hurting from the intense cheerleading practice they just had the day before.
'I wonder if any of them are feeling this much pain. Maybe a warm shower will make it feel nice. If only I could get on my feet.'
Ino was sitting on her bed but her body wouldn't let her leave the bed. She tried to push herself up with her hands but the rest of her body would not respond. 'At this rate I could be here all day. Hey wait! I think I can hear somebody getting up. If it's Sakura she'll use ALL the hot water. I need to get the heck out of here!' Ino quickly forgot about how tired she was and her aching problems and ran out her door to the bathroom which was right next to her door. She ran out and straight into Tenten.
"HEY, watch out would ya!" she yelled at Ino "My back is killing me and I don't need you ramming into it."
"Sorry, yeah my back's hurting too. I also thought I heard Sakura getting up, I guess it was just you."
"Well actually I heard that too and thought it was Sakura so I rushed out here to see that she was already in it. She uses up all the hot water."
"And she calls me a hog."
"Maybe I can borrow Hinata's." Tenten began
"Not if I grab it first!" yelled Ino as she ran to Hinata's bedroom. Tenten and Ino both got caught in between the doorway together. They both tried to push the other aside but neither would budge.
"Come on Ino, it was my idea let me have it!"
"Yeah right, I want to take a shower I ache all over!"
"I ACHE TOO!" Hinata began to wake up in her bed and looked over at her door to see Ino and Tenten trying to get in.
"What's (yawn) going on?" she asked as she pulled herself out of bed
"I'm going to borrow your bathroom." Cried Ino
"NO I'm going to borrow your bathroom."
"Aw man, my back is killing me." Hinata said to herself as Ino and Tenten continued to fight their way into the room. Hinata got up and stretched out. She walked over to closet to get some clothes and then she went inside her bathroom to take a hot shower.
"Come on Ino, let me threw!" demanded Tenten
"No way! Why don't we just let Hinata decided." They both looked over at Hinata's bed to find her missing, and then they heard the shower being turned on.
"DAMNIT!" yelled Tenten
"AAW CRAP!" yelled Ino
"This is all your fault!" Tenten yelled as she pointed an accusing finger at Ino
"MY fault?" Ino asked as she put her hands on her chest. "It's clearly all of yours."
"OH, you have got to be kidding me!"
"I am not Buns!" Ino looked satisfied that she had just dubbed Tenten with a nickname.
"Oh yeah, like I've never heard that one before BANCHIE!" Tenten crossed her arms over her chest in triumph for making that name up for Ino. Ino was so taken aback by it. She couldn't even speak, she couldn't even move!
"HAHAhahaha, right back at you, so if you don't want me calling you Banchie anymore then you'd better stop calling me Buns….okay?"
"….fine…..but NEVER again call me that!"
"Deal." They both shook hands
"So I guess people have called you that before?" asked Tenten taking back her hand
"Yeah, back when I was little. I really didn't like it too much, how about you?"
"I was always called Buns, I mean honestly. Yes I have buns in my hair but with if I always called people ponytail or hair down?"
"Maybe it's because you never wear your hair another way." Ino pointed out
"I know, but I love them so much!" she said proudly
"Bathrooms free!" yelled Sakura from around the corner
"MINE!" yelled Ino and Tenten both racing for it. They got to it and were stuck in the doorway.
"Not again, let me IN!" yelled Ino
"ME FIRST, I was waiting longer!"
"Fat chance!"
"Well YOURS IS EVEN FATTER!"
"BUNS!"
"BANCHIE!"
Sakura was down stairs finishing up her breakfast when Hinata came down to join her. They both were having cereal but what else was new? When Sakura had finished she stretched her back out.
"SOOoo, what were you and Naruto doing last night?"
"Weren't you all watching?"
"Well yes, when you were in the house, but what happened outside?"
"Well I took him outside so he could leave, and then like lightning quick he pecked me on the lips!"
"AAAWW! That's great Hinata; you're another step closer to your first real kiss."
"I know, but every time we try to kiss something. Goes. Wrong!
"Well maybe this is good. Yeah, I bet you when you first kiss it'll be romantic."
"AAwww, I hope so!" Hinata began to imagine how romantic her first kiss would be. Fireworks would be in the background, music would be playing, they would be standing on a hill all alone, she would be wearing his jacket, her air was all down in front of her, and for some strange reason they were both wet.
"HINATA! Stop daydreaming already." Yelled Sakura for a third time.
"Sorry, I was just picturing my first kiss."
"Well how'd it go?" laughed Sakura
"It was great, except we were all wet."
"HAHAHAHAA, well that's a strange first kiss. Being wet, how uncomfortable would that be?"
"Whatever, my perfect first kiss won't happen like how I imagined." She said finishing her cereal.
"It doesn't matter, when you get your first kiss it'll be the most unexpected thing ever. And when you think back on it, it looks like the most romantic thing ever." Sakura began to think about her first kiss with Sasuke. She was so happy that her first kiss had finally happened and it was with the hottest guy ever. She really did like Sasuke though; there was just something so great about him that she loved.
"Thinking about your first kiss?" asked Hinata as she smiled and took both their bowls to the sink.
"Well yeah I mean talking about it makes me think about it." Sakura let out a happy sigh.
"So was it really nice having your first kiss?"
"YEEEEAAAH! But it was weird cause it was his first kiss too, so we were both shaking at first and then we just went with the flow."
"Good morning you guys." Said a happy Tenten "Nothing like a hot shower to get the kinks out of your back right?"
"Tell me about it." Said Sakura rubbing her neck, "Mine was hurting so much this morning. It must have been cheerleading."
"Yeah, I mean all of those moves involved bending your back so it had to have been." Said Hinata
"Can you believe how hot it is today?" asked Tenten
"I know I bet it's at least 100 degrees." Said Sakura
"Then I can't wait for swimming, I bet the water is going to feel so nice."
"I like how we don't have to wear matching suits and can wear our own bathing suits." Said Sakura
"Me too." Tenten agreed
"You too what?" asked Ino walking into the kitchen
"I'm glad we get to wear our own swimsuits instead of matching ones." Tenten said
"OH, me too that's for sure. Who would want to match everyone else?"
"Ino you'd better hurry and eat so we won't be late for swimming…..again." said Hinata
"It's just hard since we only have two bathrooms, and I can't ever get into one. Thanks for letting me use yours Hinata."
"No problem, you guys can use it any time you want."
"You'll regret saying that Hinata, mark my words." Said Sakura who was leaving the kitchen.
"So what's for breakfast?" asked Ino
"Hunt and kill." Said Tenten as she poured her own cereal
"I guess that means cereal, any more Lucky Charms?"
"Just finished the box." She said holding it upside down
"So first you get the bathroom and now you finish my favorite cereal. What else could you possibly do to get on my nerves?"
"I just used the last clean bowl." Laughed Tenten sitting down at the kitchen table.
"Tenten!" yelled Ino
"I'm just glad Ino can fight with someone else bedsides me." Sakura told Hinata as they walked up stairs.
The girls were all walking to the camp's pool for swimming. They were all strong swimmers, but Hinata had done swimming all of her life and was definitely ready for the Olympics. All four girls did four activities together and one of them was always better then the other. Hinata was best at swimming, Ino was best at Cheerleading, Sakura was best at Volleyball, and Tenten was best at Basketball. Each was best at something but they were all still good at everything.
They had made it to the pool and it smelt strong of chlorine.
"Yeaah, got to love that smell." Said Tenten taking in a deep breath
"I'll say, it's the only perfume you need to wear in the summer." Said Sakura heading for the changing rooms.
A few girls were already in there getting changed into their bathing suits. Each of them took a locker and began to get into their suits. Sakura wore a two piece pink suit, Tenten wore a two piece camo suit, Hinata wore a two piece red suit, and Ino wore a two piece navy blue suit.
"Ladies let's hurry up and begin some warm up laps!" yelled the coach as she blew her whistle. All of the girls scurried out of the locker room and jumped into the pool. They did some laps and then just waited for further instructions.
"Girls I want to have a race with six girls in four groups. The winner of each group will swim against the winners from the other groups. Everyone divide up into groups so we can begin, this should go pretty quickly."
All of the girls did as they were told and went to four sides of the pool. Hinata and Ino went in a group together, but Sakura and Tenten went into separate groups. The first group to go was a group that none of the girls went into. They had to swim to the other end of the pool and back. First one to come back would get to swim in the last race with just four girls.
After the race the winner was a girl named Necima. The next race was Tenten's group, and it wasn't much of a challenge for Tenten, the other girls were so slow. The third race was Hinata's and Ino's group. In the end Hinata won, but of course she was in her element. The forth and final group was Sakura's and she was doing very well. She almost made first but a girl named Livvy beat her in the last stroke.
The final race would be the same as the first, to the end of the pool and back. Hinata was calm but Tenten was stretching her arms out as she sneakily looked at the girl Livvy. Livvy was really fast and could probably give Hinata a run for her money. Livvy was the same height as Ino, she had long green hair and was very lean. She looked like a very serious swimming competitor, which was a little intimidating.
"Ready….Set…GO!" yelled the coach as she blew into her whistle. The four girls dove in and swam faster then they had the first time. They were all holding out for this final race and showed their best.
Livvy was first the entire way down with Tenten right behind her. As they were heading back Livvy could see long dark hair to her left. She could see Hinata quickly making her way in front of her with Tenten close behind. Necima wasn't even on their radar; she was the last one but was still giving her all. Tenten had kept up with Livvy the entire time and wasn't about to slow down even though she was getting tired. Livvy didn't even mind Tenten; her main goal now was Hinata who must have been holding back her real swimming skills the entire time.
In the end Hinata was the first one back followed by Tenten then Livvy and last Necima. They were all out breath as they pulled themselves out of the water.
"Alright, now all of the girls who were in second place please line up for the next race!" yelled the coach. Sakura and three other girls lined up as the coach blew her whistle.
"Nice work….Hinata." breathed Tenten who was still catching her breath.
"You…to…that was fun." She smiled rapping a purple towel around her body.
"Hey you two." Said Livvy who walked over to them "Good race, you both are really fast."
"Thanks you too." Said Hinata
"I can't believe I beat you though." Said Tenten "You were winning for so long and in the end you just slowed up."
"Yeah, well I guess I was just loosing my breath in the end, I mean I did just swim the last race before and you guys got to take a breather."
"Hey….Necima!" yelled Hinata
Necima looked up from where she was sitting in her chair towards the three girls.
"Great race!" she yelled to her, Necima just gave her a polite nod in their direction, and went back to watching the race.
"Little quiet isn't she." Hinata said while still staring at the short blue haired girl. Necima was the same height of Hinata and just as thin but her arms showed she was very muscular. She just sat in her chair quietly while watching the race that was being won by Sakura.
"GREAT JOB SAKURA!" yelled Tenten who ran over to her with a towel.
"….thanks." she blurted out as she was catching her breath "Congrats to you guys, you were all so good."
"Thanks." Hinata and Tenten said
"Oh I'm sorry, my name is Sakura." She said as she gave her hand to Livvy who shook it back.
"I'm Livvy."
"Nice to meet you." they said at once
"Oh gosh sorry, I'm Hinata." She said putting her hand out too
"And I'm Tenten." She said giving her hand to Livvy after she was done shaking Hinata's.
"Nice to meet you both, so where are you all staying...Latrines?"
"No, we actually live in the hills." Said Hinata
"No kidding? That's really cool; you all look too young to have such a nice cabin as the hills. How'd you manage that?"
"Hinata's father donated a bunch of money to the camp so they gave us the cabin." Said Tenten
"Wow, that's really cool. I live at the bottom of the hills, right when you go up the path I'm the cabin right there."
"Oh….really?" asked Sakura
"Yeah….is something wrong with that?" she asked as she laughed a little nervously
"Oh no it's just, our first day here we sort of rubbed two girls the wrong way and they live there too."
"What are their names?" asked Livvy
"Kin and Temari." Said Sakura
"HAHAHAAHAa, oh them. Yeah I know them, we share the same cabin but we're far from friends. They both think they're so high and mighty, and God only knows why they think that. It could be because they help out Asuma Sensei ALL THE TIME, but I'm just not sure."
"No that could be it." Said Tenten
"Hey didn't you guys watch me race?" asked Ino who was walking over dripping wet.
"Sorry Ino, we were just talking to Livvy. Livvy this is our friend Ino and she lives with us too. Ino this is Livvy and she lives, but doesn't like, Temari and Kin." Said Hinata
"Nice to meet another person who doesn't like those two bimbos." Said Ino shaking her hand.
"Likewise." She responded nicely "So this is all your first times here?"
"Yup and so far it's been nothing but sweet sweet bliss!" cried Sakura
"Really? Well this place isn't that great. I guess the hills would make you think that though."
"Well that helps, but everyone here is pretty friendly." Said Hinata
"Yeah everyone here is really nice, it's a shame that we only have just one guy at this camp and he owns it. The dances and competitions are very well liked though since it's the only time we get to see male activity. Of course the last dance wasn't so great, my dress is totally ruined for life, and they didn't even figure out who did it."
"Yeah I know!" cried Sakura "Mine was so expensive and now it's just too horrible for words."
"Do you think it could have been someone at the girls' camp?" asked Ino
"Nope, I think guys had something to do with it. But in the end it's always okay, I mean when you think about it it was sort of funny." Said Livvy who was now wrapping her towel around her waste.
"Yeah it was funny, after I got all of the gunk out of my hair." Said Tenten
"ALRIGHT EVERYONE, lets hit the showers!" yelled the coach
The four girls plus Livvy all walked into the locker room talking about what happened before the dance was ruined and how much fun it was. They all took a shower and got dressed for volleyball.
"Where are you going next Livvy?" asked Sakura
"Well I'm a camp counselor here so I need to go help out at the office to see what they need me to do today. I'll catch you all later though, it was nice talking to you."
"Bye Livvy!" they all said as she walked out of the locker room.
They all went out to the volleyball court when they were all dressed and dried off completely. The volleyball court was full of sand so no one would get hurt but sliding was still hard to do.
"She was pretty nice." Tenten commented as they put their stuff down with everyone else's stuff.
"Yeah she was pretty cool; I can't believe I've never noticed her before at swimming." Said Sakura
"Man it is so hot out!" Ino complained
"And it's not getting any better." Said Hinata
They all ran out to practice with a ball before they broke into teams to play each other. Sakura and Ino went on a side and Tenten and Hinata went on the other. They were all just playing volleyball and not really practicing any moves which made volleyball the easiest sport to do. In the end Sakura's team one since she kept making so many aces. After volleyball they all went to the basketball court which wasn't a far walk from the volleyball court. They didn't have to take off their volleyball outfits for basketball since they were already wearing warm up clothes. Tenten was already getting excited since this was definitely her sport. She and Sakura went on the red team and Ino and Hinata went over to the blue team. The other day they were taught three different plays and today they were supposed to remember them, and work them out. Ino was doing better then when she first started to play basketball and Hinata was getting aggressive again.
"GET THE BALL FROM HER!" she yelled across the court
"Hinata, Hyuuga calm USE IT!" yelled Ino.
"Oh sorry…again." Hinata blushed and ran down the court.
In the end Tenten's team won 34 to 23, and Hinata was not happy about that.
"I can't believe how many fouls they got away with!" she fumed
"See you guys later!" yelled Sakura as she and Tenten waved goodbye and headed for lacrosse.
"SEE YOU GUYS!" Ino yelled back as she and Hinata went to drop off their bags at the art room before they went to dance.
"Man that was a fun game wasn't it?" asked Hinata as they walked over to the dancing club.
"Yeah it's fun when you're on Tenten's team. Next time we should all be on the same team together."
"Hey that would be fun." Hinata said as they entered the building together.
All of the guys had their jaws down to the ground when they heard the news of Hinata marrying into the Uchiha family. Naruto was most shocked of all, he wasn't even breathing for a while.
"That…I guess makes sense. The Hyuugas and Uchihas combining forces, I guess that does sound pretty smart." Said Neji putting some though on it.
"WHa…WHAT!" yelled Naruto regaining his breath. "You think it's a good idea that Hinata get married to Sasuke? I can't even believe this! How could they arrange her to be married, isn't that illegal nowadays?"
"Naruto…wait a minute you need to hear this." Sasuke began "I over heard my father talking to Hiashi once a few years ago. He had come over to our house to talk about something I think they have been talking about since Hinata was born.
"Hiashi, I'm pretty sure, used to come over to talk to my father about their businesses. I always thought it was about business, and technically it was, but then one day I heard them talking about Hinata getting married.
FLASHBACK
"So Hiashi, instead of just combining our corporations you'd rather just combined our families?" laughed Fugaku
"Yes that's right." Hiashi said being serious "I know my daughter is still young but I don't think she's ever going to leave her shy state. I'd rather not have someone shy run my company when I'm good and dead, and Hanabi can't inherit it since she is second born."
"So you want one of my sons to marry her? Well it couldn't be Itachi since he's too old. Sasuke would be the better candidate since they both are of the same age, not to mention they were both friends along time ago."
"Yes, and I thought about that but wouldn't just make more sense for her to marry Itachi since he is heir to the Uchiha Corporation? Then he could just get both the corporations and form them together."
"This is very true, and Itachi isn't that much older then Hinata. She's about eleven years old now right? Well and Itachi is sixteen so I suppose that isn't so bad."
"Yes, our combination of corporations will be great indeed. This plan is almost flawless."
"But why won't you wait for Hinata to grow up more before you make up your mind about her being too weak?"
"I'm pretty sure being weak and shy is a quality you're born with and it can't you can't ever change that."
"Wait hold on, I know of this camp called Camp Jutsu. Itachi used to go to it and it really helps kids physically and mentally. Why not send Hinata there this summer; I'm sure it'll help her out with her shyness."
"Camp Jutsu you say? I know my nephew goes there, maybe I should send her there. Alright, she's going, this summer she'll begin going to Camp Jutsu. So what is this camp?"
"Martial arts training, Itachi loved it and left number one. They help kids prepare physically which is good, but somehow it also helps them mentally. Itachi came back thinking more about the Corporation and also other things. We're really proud of him."
"What about Sasuke? Why haven't you sent him?"
"He doesn't need to go; I think he's too good for that place. He's always thinking for himself and I always thought that he would make a better heir than Itachi."
"It seems that both of our second children would be better then the first."
"But now after Camp Jutsu I think Itachi will do good if not better then Sasuke."
SASUKE"S POV
"What about Sasuke? Why haven't you sent him?"
'Oh no, does he know I'm here?' Sasuke thought as he backed away from the door 'Maybe they're just talking about me and he doesn't know I'm here.' He moved his ear back on the door and could only hear his father laugh and say,
"Itachi (low mumbles Sasuke can't hear) better then Sasuke."
'Of course Itachi is better then me. He's always been better, but he is older so that does help him a bit. I bet I could be just as good as him if I wanted to. Poor Hinata might have to marry him, or me.' Sasuke began to sweat and blush at the thought of marrying Hinata. He only liked Hinata as a friend and even a sister, but thinking about marriage made him freak out. 'Sorry Hinata, but I guess you're marrying him, but I'll always watch out for you and protect you.'
END FLASHBACK
"So then Hinata was sent to Camp Jutsu and her shyness was gone. I remember watching her talk to everyone by the end of the summer. It didn't even seem like her." Said Neji
"So now Hinata is getting married to not you, but ITACHI!" yelled Naruto freaking out. "That only makes this so much worse!"
"Hold on, lemme finish. A few months later, when summer was over, Hiashi came back over to our house."
FLASHBACK
"So how was Hinata's trip to Camp Jutsu?" asked Fugaku
"You were right, and I'm not afraid to admit it. Hinata is definitely not a shy person. She has a very bubbly personality, and I don't know how, but it's like she's one whole new person. I didn't know she liked to do so many things, especially shop. She probably gets that from her mother, and now she's starting to buy clothes that are less baggy. She doesn't want her hair to be cut, she wants to grow it out long. It's like that camp was really a place to exchange your kids for news ones."
"That's how we felt when Itachi came back, out with the old and in with the new."
"I even caught Hinata spying on one of my meetings; I think that's good that she wants to be a part of the business so much. There is a real change in her."
"Spying on you while you're doing business?" laughed Fugaku "My children wouldn't dare do that."
'Uh-oh!' thought Sasuke as he walked away from the door slowly.
END FLASHBACK
"So….she's NOT getting married!" yelled a hopeful Naruto
"Yep, she's not getting married to us. I heard my father and mother talking about it and they really think that Hiashi never wanted Hinata to be married for the sake of the business because he would never want to share his business that is doing 100 times better then ours."
"Yup that sounds like Hiashi." Said Neji
"WOO HOO SHE"S NOT GETTING MARRIED!" Naruto cheered as he ran around the house
"See what you did now?" asked Shikamaru who went to his room to get dressed.
"Sure Hinata isn't going to be arranged into marriage, but what makes him think that Hiashi will let him even date her?" said Neji who went up the stairs to his room to get dressed.
