Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or its characters. Just my plot and OCs.
A/N: Ok, before anybody says anything, no I was NOT grounded! My computer just hates me. Does anyone remember the problem I mentioned about the charger I mentioned before? Probably not, well anyways it tookk me until now to buy a new charger because I'm poor. So it took me a long while to finally finish this.
Before we get started, I wanted to clear up a few things: Quite a few people were confused with two things last chapter. That's completely my fault, I'm obviously not doing my job if people don't get what I'm trying to say. So 1) No, Hinata didn't actually pounce on Naruto. When it said, "What she failed to notice was the broken bench," I was trying to say that the bench broke and they just ended up in that positon. It just looked like Hinata pounced on him to Tenten 'cause she was far away, and that part was being told from Tenten's perspective.
And 2) No, Makoto doesn't like Naruto! She likes Lee, I thought I made that pretty clear in previous chapters. She was blushing just because of how Hinata said it. I don't know about you, but I'm a pretty shy person when it comes to talking to people about love. Even if I absolutely hate the person they're talking about, I'll still blush. And since Makoto's shy, I just made her react like that too.
Very, very important!: This chapter starts before the last chapter finished, just so you don't get confused.
To werewolfluvr147: Well, I didn't get grounded, but I'm still really late, huh? That is a good guess, but not the right one. Sorry.
To loveslavender: Nope, sorry, and yea, that was funny and way creepy.
To KdaAnimefan: Yup, you're exactly right!
To Ancient Kyubi: Sorry I took so long, and well you'll see what happens.
To DrendeSalkash: Wow! You're the first person to get it right. When I saw you're guess I was like, "Oh my God! Someone got it right!"
To Ultimatrix: Thank you! And don't feel bad, only one person got it, and that's exactly what I wanted. Mystery!
To starfairy14s: Yea, I had no idea what that was either. I would read it everywhere, so I finally decided to check it out, and there it was! Oh, and just tell me where to go to read your doujinshi.
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 26:
The Truth Revealed
Makoto lay on her bed watching the roof.
She wished her life really was as boring as anyone who saw her right now would think. She knew that was the only reason her parents left her alone so much. Not because they neglected her, not even because they trusted her to take care of herself, but because they thought her life was so boring she could never do anything stupid.
She so wished that were true.
What her parents didn't know was that her life wasn't so boring, and not even in a good way.
As long as she stood beside Haruka her life could never be boring because Haruka always did such stupid and mean things. And she was too spineless to try to stop her. Heck, she had helped her do most of the those things.
She was still helping her.
Even though she knew Lee would hate her when everyone found out, because they would find out; nothing stays hidden forever between Earth and Heaven. Sooner or later the bomb would drop and Hinata's friends and family would kill her, Naruto, and Mika. Perhaps even Haruka if anyone ever told who was really behind everything.
'Only if Mika tells.' Even in her thoughts she was too cowardly to tell on Haruka.
It should be so easy, she knew that. The way Haruka treated her should've given her enough strength. She should want revenge enough to tell every single secret she knew, which were more than a few, to the entire world.
'And Lee would want me to.'
That's right Lee's friendship was much more important then revenge. That night, so long ago, when they were still on Hino island and she asked him what he would do if he was in her position he said he would tell. He had told her truth was the most important thing, and that her "friend" was no real friend at all if they wanted her to do something she felt was wrong.
That's right, Haruka wasn't her friend, Lee was, and her fear of losing his friendship was much stronger than her fear of Haruka. Or everything else that would follow this decision. She knew what she had to do if she had to if she wanted any chance of saving that friendship.
She had to stop Naruto!
"Naruto-san!" Makoto cried after she turned the corner.
Naruto turned around and looked at the green-haired girl confused. "Hi, who are you?"
'That's right! I've never even talked to him!' Makoto panicked. What was she doing? She was already starting to hyperventilate.
"I know what you're doing!" She shouted, not knowing what else to do, "I know what you're being paid to do! You have to stop, you can't do that to Hinata-san."
"What?" A small voice forced her to turn around, "What can't he do to me?" Hinata demanded.
Nobody answered her.
Hinata stepped foward and grabbed one of Makoto's arms, hard. "What can't he do to me?" She demanded again, with a bit of fury in her voice. She violently shook the petrified girl, "Tell me!"
Makoto turned her head to Naruto. He looked even more scared than her, because he knew what was coming. She had to tell Hinata and they both knew what she would think once she knew.
"I'm sorry," Makoto whimpered then turned back to Hinata, "You know, my friend Haruka? She's jealous of you. She wanted to destroy you, so she hired him to--"
"Stop! Please," Naruto begged.
"To what?" Hinata asked, even though a part of her didn't want to know. What was so horrible that he wouldn't want her to know? What could someone who wanted to destroy her hire him to do?
"To deflower you," Makoto quietly finished. She kept her eyes on the ground, not wanting to watch Hinata's heart break.
"What?" She heard Hinata whimper as she let go of her arm.
This time, Makoto did look up, though she immediately regretted it. Hinata actually looked paler, her watery eyes portraying a pain that she couldn't describe and her mouth hund half-open as if she wanted to say something but the words couldn't come out. She finally turned and ran away.
"Wait! Hinata, you don't understand!" Naruto ran after her.
Makoto just stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do next. She thought she had been doing the right thing but all she had done was cause so much pain.
What had she done?
Hinata just kept walking.
She didn't even know what she should feel. Betrayed? Angry? Hurt? Yes, but mostly stupid. She had to be the dumbest person in the world to actually fall for something like this. Who would actually willingly give their virginity to someone who was paid to seduce her? She hadn't, but she was sure she would have if given the opportunity.
She could hear Naruto calling out to her but she didn't want to listen. She just wanted to get to Neji and get to her house.
She froze, 'Neji.' He would undoutedly ask her what was wrong and she never could lie to him. If he found out, he would kill Naruto! And although she despised him at the moment, she didn't want him to get hurt.
"Fianlly," Naruto said as he caught up with her, "You have to give me a chance to explain."
"Why?! What did you think would happen? Did you think I would never find out? Did you think I couldn't feel any pain? Did you think I wouldn't hate you?"
The word 'hate' hurt him more than any blow ever could, especially coming from her. But she obviously didn't know that as she punched him in the gut with more force than he ever thought someone as small as her could ever hit.
In truth, she didn't punch him to hurt, well, okay maybe a little, but it was more out of a desire to protect him. So he wouldn't follow her and face her cousin and family. She wanted to protect him because she didn't hate him, she still loved him.
A/N: Okay, chapter done! It was too short, I know. I know I promised Mika's boyfriend would be revealed this chapter but it seemed too happy for this chapter and I felt "right" finishing it there.
Um, I have a bit of a predicament. When I was re-reading the entire fic again so I could pick up where I left off I felt like I had strayed from my path somewhere along the way. I guess it's because there was so many times that I just dropped it out of my life, that when I started again it was just different.
Do you guys think I should redo it, or just finish this one? Do you think it's good enough?
Well, either way, give my fic another chance! I know I get bored with fics when they take months to update, but now I have a new charger. I dont have an excuse anymore. Besides it should finish soon, anyways!
Pease review!
