Naruto has loved Sakura all his life, but there comes a time when love isn't enough to keep a relationship alive. Especially when it is one-sided. Naruto moves on and finds he loves someone he didn't expect, Hinata. Sakura, however, wants revenge. And when she teams up with someone who wants revenge even more than she does, Konoha itself is at risk.

12. Chapter 12

Hinata

I laughed and then couldn't stop laughing! This day was to good to end now. I didn't want it to end at all, and since it was slipping between my fingers I would enjoy every last moment of this perfect day that was left! I laughed and laughed and barely noticed when Naruto-kun joined in. We laughed as we ran up to my house and then it all stopped abruptly. There sat Neji, surrounded by nearly every weapon imaginable, byakugan on his face. He was so mad he put Sakura to shame, and that girl was a rhino that never stopped charging at anything and everything. Suddenly the happiness of the day was sucked up by Neji's anger and every part of me was filled with fear when he turned that hateful glare on me.

"I..um...Naruto, th-thanks. Bye." I managed to stammer.

"Yeah, it-it was a lot of fu-fun. Se-see you to-tomorrow." Naruto said before he attempting a hasty retreat. I didn't blame him, if I could leave I would already be long gone .Neji glared at Naruto's back in such a way I thought Naruto would either turn to ice or spontaneously combust.

"Not so fast, Naruto." Neji growled in a voice so low and predator-like I felt as though my blood had turned to ice. I shivered and hugged myself. "Let's have a little talk, Naruto. Hinata, please go inside." I ran inside as if the devil himself was chasing me and didn't stop until I was in my room. Guilt from leaving Naruto-kun to face Neji alone filled me and I wished I had stayed with him. Instead I sat in my room praying that Neji didn't come up and maul me with his fury next. I curled up on my bed and closed my eyes, silently wishing that Neji was a gentle, easy-going person. I prayed that he wouldn't kill Naruto or hurt him beyond repair. What an excellent end to our date. Our amazing, incredible, unbelievably perfect date. Our date that was more than worth Neji's ridiculous overprotectiveness. Our date that I prayed we could have again. Okay, maybe Naji's fury is reasonable considering I showed up after dark. I giggled and closed my eyes, thinking about only one thing. Naruto.
