- Chapter 13 -

Her stomach hurt. She could feel the stares of the kids price her body like lasers. It was amazing how shy one could be on their first day. Though out of all the kids in the small kindergarten room, there were two that stood out the most.

One with messy blond hair, and blue eyes that could put the color of the sky to shame. The other, a black haired boy with pricing jet black eyes, the expression on his face proved that he wish he could be anywhere else, but here. Both had their yellow caps off, unlike the 13 other kids who were in perfect uniform, with their light blue sweaters and dark blue shorts all with their yellow caps on, just like her.

Both kids sat further away from the rest of the class, though still paying attention to the teacher who was introducing her as she slightly hid behind her mother, her legs shivering. But, Hinata knew that's not what completely made them stand out, but the way how they didn't stare at her like some stranger or with a blank expression, but like she had been in that class since the beginning of the year.

It was only till her mother left and class started, when she was sitting all alone ready to cry, did the two approached her. The boy with blue eyes smiling at her contently. "Hey! My names Naruto. Let's be friends!" Hinata could only stare at him with a blank expression, not knowing what to say.

She soon heard the sound of a chair being pulled out next to her, as she noticed the black-haired boy give her a plain look. "It wouldn't be a total annoyance to befriend you. I'm sure your friendship would be of more value than this dobe."

"Hey!" The blond haired boy, named Naruto, snapped. Startling Hinata.

"What? You offended dobe?" This time, the black haired boy's lips formed a smirk.

The two stared at one other. Naruto looking ready to start a fight, as the black haired boy enjoyed how upset his friend was getting. Hinata couldn't help but release a small giggle at the scene of the two.

It did not go unnoticed by the two.

"So how 'bout it? Friends?" Hinata stared at the blond boy's hand that was stretched out ready to receive hers, a smile on his face, so pure that she was sure that she'll never forget it.

"Friends," Hinata smiled, though when she stretch out her hand, Naruto's hand vanished along with his smiling face.

"Wait!"

"Stop!" Hinata quickly sat up, hand stretched out as she could feel a tear fall from her eye.

"If you're so annoyed by it Hinata then why don't you just answer it," Temari growled as she buried her face deep into her pillow.

Hinata blinked her eyes a couple of times. "What?"

"The door bell, Hinata. The door B-E-L-L!" Ino yelled, still not ready to wake up.

"What-"

- Ding Dong, Ding Dong! -

"Oh," Hinata said, quickly wiping her eye as she walked out of the room while muttering. "It was only a dream."

- Downstairs -

- Ding Dong, Ding Dong! -

"Ok, ok. Enough already." Hinata said as she opened the door, though she quickly stepped back as the moment she opened it the person on the other side of the door had kicked it open. As they stormed into the dorm, and up the stair, only causing Hinata to catch a glimpse of pink.

"Sasuke!" Hinata could hear the sound of a female voice roar coming from the boys room. Soon after came the sounds of tried groans. "Don't give me that, you lazy jerks. You promised me you'd be awake by 7!"

Hinata let out a tired yawn, knowing she should probably find out who this chick was that busted into the dorm, but decided against it. 'How people can be so energetic in the morning is beyond me.' Hinata thought as she headed to the kitchen for her morning coffee, but soon her body came to a complete stop when she heard what the girl upstairs said next.

"It's already 8! Class starts in 20 minutes! Where going to be late." Hinata's eyes widen, slowly beginning to proses what the girl had just said. '

'20 minutes?' Hinata quickly ran up the stairs and into her room, as she wasted no time to opening the curtains that let in an eye blinding light.

"EHHH!" Ino yelled, as the sun from outside pierced her eyes. "Whats the big deal Hinata! Some people are trying to sleep here!" Ino yelled.

"You've got enough sleep, Blondie! Where late! Shit, where's the box of uniforms we got a week ago? Did we forget to pack them?"

Temari let out a loud, annoyed, groan. "Jesus, can you people be anymore louder, simmer it down dammit."

Hinata looked all over the room, pulling out drawers and opening luggage's that had still not been unpacked. As Ino continued to complain about not getting enough sleep. Temari tried to drown out the huge commotion that was occurring at that moment by shutting her eyes and plugging in her headphones and putting the volume all the way to a hundred, though she could still hear them.

During this time the door to the room opened, as in came the girl that had been missing from the room since Hinata came back from downstairs. Tenten.

Her hair was up in their usual two buns. Though instead of wearing her usual Pj's, she was wearing an open front navy blue blazer, which had contained Konoha High's crest logo on the top right side. Inside she wears a plain white, button up, blouse, with an above the knee gray pleated skirt.

"Damn, someone call the fire department, because Tenten's on fire!" Ino said as she shot out of bed while running to Tenten and checking every angle of the uniform on her. "Goodness Tenten, you look so hot in formal clothes."

Tenten blushed at her friend's compliment, as she began to laugh embarrassedly. "Really? Thanks. I've never ever really worn a uniform like this before though it's quite comfortable if you ask me-" Tenten's happy smile soon dropped when she felt a cold shiver go down her back when she looked up to see Hinata's deadly glare.

"Tenten," Hinata said darkly. "Do you mind telling me what you were doing?"

Tenten swallowed hard as she slowly began to step back, as she watched how every time she did Hinata would step a foot closer. "Well, um... you see I... you know... and then, kinda." Tenten couldn't find her words, as her back was now up against the wall and Hinata only a few steps away.

As Hinata was only one step away from Tenten, Temari grabbed Hinata's shoulder. "She got changed into her uniform. Just like what we should all be doing if we want to get to school on time. Tenten, you left the uniforms in the washroom, right?" Temari asked now looking a Tenten.

"Eh, yeah."

"Good now let's go, you two. People that wish to stay in school, go to school." Temari was now pushing the two girls out of the room as they both saluted her, "Aye!"

Tenten was now left alone in the room as she looked at the now closed door, as she let out a sigh. "Jeez, Hinata can sure be scary. I wonder if she was always like that when she was a kid?" Tenten paused for a second, trying to imagine a Hinata that didn't yell and was more shy than confident. "Nah, I'm sure she's been like that since birth." Tenten chuckled as she walked out of the room while closing the door behind her.

By the times the girls were half way finished, the boys were already outside, along with the mysterious pink-haired girl that gave everyone the wake-up call.

Hinata and Ino panted as they rushed downstairs, both in full uniform, though Ino's skirt pulled up higher, showing more of her legs, just the way she liked it. As Hinata was the only one wearing black vans, telling the girls that the teachers would never notice that they weren't black dress shoes, like every student was supposed to wear.

"Hurry up! We're already late enough, girls!" Temari yelled from outside as Ino and Hinata were to only ones left to finish getting ready.

"Hey, blame it on the freak'in hair!" Ino yelled as she ran out of the building. "It's not as short and easy to maintain like yours, Ok!"

"Bye, Bye kids. Will be waiting here for your safe return!" Tenko yelled as he and Oji waved them off from the door.

"Go to school you slackers!" Ino yelled, while sticking her tongue out at them. As Oji imitated her actions. "You're just jealous that were smart and you're not," Oji smiled evilly. In a matter of seconds, Ino was ready to knock out his lights though Temari kept a tight grip on her wrist. "No time Ino." Soon the group was running towards the school before they became anymore late then they already were.

Shikamaru sighed, "How troublesome."

They were now only seconds away from the school as they quickened their pace. If they entered now then they would only be 10 minutes late, though before they could go inside the pink haired girl ran up in front of them blocking the school entrance. "Ok, I think this is probably the best time to introduce myself." The girl panted out, "Hi, My name is Sakura Haruno, and I'm-" Though before the girl could finish her introduction, Hinata stopped her.

"Ok that's great and all, but were 10 minutes late. This isn't the best time for introductions." The pink haired girl blinked her green eyes at Hinata, till she soon began to laugh.

"Sakura, don't mind this rude girl. She's always been a bit soft in the head." Sasuke said while patting Hinata head.

"I'm not soft in the head, I'm just stating the facts." Hinata huffed, while crossing her arms. She wasn't up for causing an argument so early in the morning.

Sakura wiped the tears that had formed due to the little indigo haired girl's actions. "It's ok, I just wanted you to know who I was before I gave you these," Sakura said as she searched through her bag to find a couple of papers. "Here, the principal left me in charge of giving you your timetables." She smiled.

All four of the girls were now the ones to blink confusedly, as they said a small, "Thank you."

Choji soon laughed, "Well, it's nice that it all worked out, hehe."

While Neji, on the other hand, facepalmed himself. "How could you girls forget such an important piece of information." Though the girls ignored him as they gathered in a circle telling one another which classes they had together.

"Whhhaaaaat!" They soon yelled.

"What the matter now?" Sasuke muttered as he looked from behind Hinata shoulder and at her timetable.

"We...we...we...don't have the first period with each other." Hinata looked up at Sasuke, tears beginning pour.

Sasuke sighed, as he crouched down to Hinata's leave and began to wipe her tears with the end of the sleeves to his blazer. "You know how much I hate cry babies, now stop crying."

"Stupid jerk! I'm not crying!"

Everyone watched the two, all having the same thought in mind. "What the hell are they? Siblings!?"

"S-Sasuke, can you wipe my tears too?" Ino said while batting her eyes at him.

"No," Sasuke said bluntly.

Temari smirked as she nudged Neji. "And here I thought if anyone else could be Hinata's big brother it was you. So much for that."

Neji clenched his fist, as flames began to burst from his eyes. "I'll never forgive you for this Sasuke!"

"There, there Neji. You can wipe Hinata's tears next time." Tenten said while patting his back.

Soon the group made their way into the building, as they stopped at where the halls split into three different ways. "I have some guy called Asuma, at room 210? Anyone knows where that is?" Ino asked while looking up from her paper.

"It seems as though you have the same homeroom teacher as us, Ino," Choji smiled. "Yup seems as though *Yawn*" Shikamaru also responded.

"Hey, my rooms should be about 6 doors down from yours, it's 216. Mind if I tag along?" Temari asked.

"The more the merrier," Choji said, as the group soon began to head down the left hallway. "See you guys during lunch!" Ino chirped as she skipped down the hall.

"Hinata do you know what class you have now?" Neji asked as he took her paper and examed it.

"I have a lady named Kurenai. Room 308."

"Then you just have to take this hallway all the way down then turn to your left and you'll find a fleet of stairs. Go to the third floor and take your first left and your room should be on her right." Sasuke said while pointing to the hall right in front of them. "If you want me to show you, I could always-"

"Don't worry. I can find my way on my own."

Sasuke stared at her for a second though soon, walks down the right hallway. "Whatever you say. Let's go Sakura."

"Will see you at lunch. Bye for now." She says while running to catch up with Sasuke.

"If you're certain Hinata, then this is where I leave you. Tenten, you and I both have gym with Gai now. Come I'll show you where." Neji said as he took a hold of Tentens hand and tugged her along down the right hallway. "Eh, Ok. See you Hinata!" Tenten waved before disappearing down the hall.

Hinata soon let out a sigh. "I swear. I feel like I'm nothing more but an open book for Sasuke to read." Hinata soon made her way down the hall, "Well if I get lost, I can always go back."

Hinata quickly found the stairs. Though not even half way up, Hinata spotted something white making its way quickly down the stairs, heading right for her. The object quickly jumped on Hinata, causing her to almost fall backward till something gripped her wrist tightly, placing their hand firmly on her back. "Shit, that was a close one wasn't it?"

Hinata felt like she was staring into the eyes of a wolf, the boys eyes black and his pupils sharp. While the grinned at her, she switched her focus to his checks which were marked with one upside down, red triangle on each check. 'Are those tattoos?'

Hinata soon felt something wet crossed her check, as she looked down, suddenly noticing the new weight on her cheats, as there sat a white dog. "Doggie?"

"Yup, his name is Akamaru." The boy said, finally pulling Hinata on her feet, as the small dog jumped from her to the top of the of the brown haired boy's head.

Hinata looked back and forth from the dog to the boy till her eyes began to sparkle. "Doggie!" She said now reaching out toward the dog.

- 10 minutes later -

Hinata soon found herself sitting outside on a stone bench next to the boy with the tattoos, she had just met. She learned that the boy was named Kiba. Hinata continued to rub her face against the dog that had seemed to take a liking to her. "So cute," Hinata smiled.

"You're new here right? You lost or something?" The boy asked.

Hinata finally set the dog down on her lap as she looked at him. "Yup, I start today. But when I was on my way to my class I bumped into you two."

"Which class are you in?"

"I'm with some lady named Kurenai. You know her?"

The boy laughed, "Yeah I know her. In fact where in the same class."

Hinata's eyes sparked once more, "Really? Then that means you can tell me where her class is. I'm already 40 minutes later, so how about we go now." Hinata soon stood up as she began to pull on the boys shirt, trying to pull him to the direction of the school.

"You don't have to worry about that. She's not in today." Said another voice, this one much deeper than Kiba's.

Both Kida and Hinata turned to see a new boy sitting next to Kida. "When did you-" before Hinata a could ask her question she was quickly interrupted.

"Shino, you ass! You said you would take care of Akamaru while I went to the can! Jerk, what would have happened if a teacher had spotted him?!" Kida growled as he resembled an angry dog to Hinata.

"-Get here?" The boy named Shino said, finishing the sentence to Hinata's question. "Just now. My name is Shino Aburama, by the way." Shino said as he continued to ignore the glare he was reserving from Kida.

"It's nice to meet you, too," Hinata said while slightly bowing her head.

"Hey, dammit! Don't just ignore my you jerk!" Kida barked back. 'Yup, definitely a dog.' Hinata though, almost having the urge to pet him. 'Resist Hinata! Resist!'

"Instead of getting all upset why don't we show Ms. Hyuga around?" Shino spoke as he stood up.

"Easy for you to say, who's going to take care of Akamaru? Huh?"

Shino kneeled down in front of the dog as he said "Bush." As he pointed to the bushes behind the stone bench. The dog released a small bark as it quickly ran behind the bushes. "See. Now nothing to worry about." Shino said as he stood up. "Now let's go."

The three soon made their way into the school, as Kida grumbled and Hinata laughed at his actions.

With the 50 minutes, they had left till the next class Hinata had learned that she would have most of her classes with the two boys, causing her to wonder if she had any classes with a so-called blue-eyed boy.

Shino had shown Hinata many different parts of the school. Though, with only 50 minutes left, Shino was only able to show her around the first floor. "Christ, this school is big." Thought Hinata not noticing she had said it aloud, as she looked at the walls of the school which was covered with high-class art, and achievement awards.

"You can say that again. This place is basically a maze. You have to be a complete idiot to go in here without having some knowledge about the place." Kiba laughed. Hinata's could feel her cheeks go red in embarrassment. 'We did that.' Hinata remembered the first time she and everyone came to register. 'Took us more than an hour.'

"You got lost on your first day too Kiba," Shino said, causing Kiba's laughter to come to a stop. Shino soon stopped in front two big wooden doors. "And this brings us to the end of the tour," Shino said as he grabbed a hold of one of the big silver handles, as Kiba grabbed the other. Both opening the door, as it made an old creaking sound.

"This is where we eat most out meals. From breakfast to Dinner. But now that I think about it I don't remember seeing you at breakfast today?" Kiba spoke though those words were quickly ignored as Hinata took small steps inside. Her breath was taken away, at the sight of the humongous dining hall "What the hell. Did the old geezers who build this place copy it straight out of Harry Potter?" Hinata said as she slid one of her hands over one of the long tables.

The word she spoke were not said wrong, as the entire dining hall was almost as if a complete replica of the Great Hall in Harry Potter, the only difference between the two was that there weren't any flirting candles and the stand where Dumbledor would usually speak at was not there.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. I thought the same thing when I first came here." Kinda said as he took a seat at the table Hinata's stood in front of.

As Hinata looked around the dining hall something had caught her attention. It was four large portraits, as they hung behind the table at where the teachers ate. In a word, the men in the portraits were intimidating, sending shivers down her spine.

Hinata slowly made her way closer trying to get a better look, as there was one portrait out of the four that she recognized, this one a man with blond hair. Hinata stretched her hand out, her fingers inches away from the mans face. This man had the same eyes just like-

Soon the sound of a girls voice stopped Hinata's action. "Well if it isn't Hinata Hyuga."

Hinata quickly turned around. Though as she did the side of her mouth began to twitch, as a ball anger soon began to emerge, as she came to face with the girl, who's eyes matched hers. "Come on Hyuga, it's been what? 11 year, and you still can't remember the face of your best friend." The girl smirked, her arms wrapped around the arm of a blond boy. The one Hinata thought she once knew.

"These blast from the past are getting annoying," Hinata breathed out.

"Come again." The girl said, her smirk dropping.

"Nothing, nothing at all. It's nice to see you to Shion."
