Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or its characters. Just my plot and OCs.
A/N:I have a good reason for not updating in so long. I got grounded...twice. I'm a bad, bad girl. Or at least according to my mom, everyone else thinks I'm an angel!
To KdaAnimefan: Thanx! All I can say, is that you'll find out soon.
To werewolfluvr147: Wow! So I guess it wasn't that bad a chapter, huh? That's actually a good idea, but Gaara already left back to Suna. She is in a pairing, you're just not going to find out until next chapter.
To DrendeSalkash: Yay! Thanx, I wasn't sure if people would like that part.
To hyuuga's pale rose: I'm not going to spoil the ending, so I can't tell you wether he does it or not, but I can say he does love her. If you go back to chapter 12, you'll see why exactly he agreed to it in the first place.
To HinaNaruFAN987: Um...what's long? Like the timeline?
To Hinata of the Waterfall: Thanx for the cake! And yea, my life is just...complicated.
To starfairy14s: What? Check the polls, randomness is funny. XD.
To a single waterlilly: Great! Thank you!
To Maki-Zushi: Very much appreciated.
To Lunarangel's Dark Flame: I'm sorry, I can't tell you. Then what would keep you reading?
Oh and thanx to the anonymous reviewer! And everyone who added this fic to their faves and alerts!
Summary:
AU. Hinata is one of the most popular girls at South Konoha High. She's the object of desire for many boys, but she only has eyes for one guy. What happens when a jealous girl finds out and hires a certain loud-mouthed blonde to win her over, just long enough to deflower her.
Deflowering The Flower
Chapter 25:
Makoto's Courage
Ignorance truly was bliss.
Or, at least that's what Mika came to discover and firmly believe in. This new, and very long, job of hers taught her just that.
What exactly taught her that was Hinata of course.
As far as Mika could see she was truly happy; and why was she happy? Because she didn't know why exactly Naruto had asked her out in the first place. Sure, it was to make sure Haruka wouldn't do everything she warned, but Mika was sure the only part Hinata would hear if she ever found out was the "He did it for money" part.
It would be the same for any girl.
Heck, it'd be the same for Mika if he ever did the same thing to her. She doubted it, but she was sure it would hurt her if he did.
She let out a groan as she remebered her... boyfriend.
That word was still weird for her to say, or even think. Hojo Mika has a boyfriend! Not even she could believe that. And now she was seriously regretting ever hearing that word!
'He wants me to meet his father.'
Was he insane? What was she supposed to say? "Hi, I know I'm a year older than your son, and I'm also working to destroy one of his best friend's life, but I'm sure you'll learn to like me."
Well, it was honest, at least.
"Remember, dudes, Prom's getting ever closer so you better vote for Prom King and Queen." Usagi's voice sounded throughout the school, during first period she had the job of PA, not that she minded.
"Now, we all know who's gonna be our King, I mean that's, like, a no-brainer, but you have five Queen candidates to choose from. So how do you choose? Simple, I'll tell you! Choose either Haruno Sakura or Hyuga Hinata. Why? Because I said so!" on that cheerful note she took her hand off the microhone, leaned back in her chair, andprepared to relax the rest of the period.
Like I said, she didn't mind being the PA at all.
"You forgot to mention the art show this friday." Hinata gently reminded.
Usagi rolled her eyes and let out a long sigh but nonetheless sat up and grabbed the microphone. "They'll also be an art show this friday. Like anybody cares." She said in a dead pan voice. Usagi quickly put on her headphones, lest Hinata remind her of something else.
Hinata laughed since she knew exactly why Usagi had put her headphones on. She walked back to the front desk where Kanami was telling Makoto how to properly run an efficient office.
Makoto was strange. They had all been working in the office since the begining of the school year but she had talked to them twice all year long. All she did was take orders and nod every time someone told her something. Actually, Makoto reminded her a bit of herself, her old self.
Maybe, one day she could do for Makoto what her friends didfor her. Hinata couldn't help but laugh at that thought. She just casually waved her hand when the others gave her a weird look.
Makoto would probably need someone with a more gentle technique than the one her friends had used on her.
Kiba rolled his eyes as he heard Usagi's anouncement.
Why was it "like, a no-brainer" who was going to be King? It didn't really matter to him, he wasn't even in the running, it just bothered him that she said it was obvious.
Then he looked around the classroom.
Just about every single female there was staring at something in his direction, he was pretty sure he had even seen the instructor sneak a peek once or twice. No, it wasn't him, it was his lab partner, Sasuke.
Kiba didn't know why? When he first met Sasuke, he had seemed a bit too feminine. Then he hit his teens and became more masculine. Kiba would never call Sasuke attractive, but there had to be something about him that made every female in the vicinity swoon over him.
'I don't see it.'
Tenten was bored.
Sitting behind a bush while she starving was not what she considered a date. In fact, she had yet to have her date because of that stunt Hinata pulled a while back.
When Neji said he wanted her to come with him somewhere after school because he didn't want to be alone, she had assumed it was to finally have their date.
What it ended up being was Neji doing his uncle's dirty work and spying, or "looking over", Hinata's date to make sure nothing inappropriate happened.
It seemed innocent enough. They were in a public park, in the middle of the day, she was pretty sure they wouldn't do anything inappropriate.
She wasn't even looking at them, only Neji was, since they were at the other end of the clearing sitting on a less-than-trustworthy wooden bench.
She was about to tell Neji she was going to leave, she did have homework after all, when she heard something that vaguely sounded like a crash.
When she looked in the direction it came from she couldn't help but let out a shocked scream. If her eyesight wasn't failing, it seemed Hinata had tackled Naruto off the bench and was now on top of him on the ground.
What she didn't notice was the now broken bench.
"I'm sorry, again." Hinata apologized for the upteenth time.
They weren't even at his house yet and her dear cousin was making her say good bye already. Why? Because he wanted to walk his girlfriend home. How was that fair?
She waved a final good bye and turned to run after her supposed friends, although they started walking away to make her pick up the pace, when she ran into a green haired girl.
"Hinata-san?"
"Makoto? What are you doing here?" If she was correct, Makoto lived far, far away from there.
"I'm looking for someone," Makoto explained between huffs. She seemed to have been running for a long time and was breathing hard.
"Oh, is it like someone?" Hinata asked teasingly holding out her pinkey.
"No, no, no! But it is important." Makoto explained. Hinata didn't necessarily believe her since she was blushing, but Makoto wasn't blushing because she liked him like that, it was just embarrassing for her to talk about that with anyone.
"I'm sorry Hinata-san, I have to go now."
"It's okay, so do I."
Makoto bowed and ran around Hinata and around the corner. Hinata was about to start running when she heard something that made her blood run cold. Makoto's voice desperately calling out to someone.
"Naruto-san!"
A/N: Do you guys hate me as much as I would right now? Well, I just noticed that if I keep following the storyline I plannedthis fic is going to finish soon. I'm sad. Oh! & you guys will find out who Mika's boyfriend is next chapter! Did any of you see the drama DVD? Konoha Gakuen Den I think it's called. Those who did probably saw the similarities in this NH date and that one.
Also, I'd like to thank whoever nominated this fic for best High School Fic. & I'd appreciate it if you guys would vote for it, voting ends this friday. It's probably not going to win, and I'm ok with that, I'm honored that it was even nominated.
Cookies for whoever can guess who Mika's boyfriend is.
Pls read & review!
