Our pasts

Naruto Uzumaki

Naruto was from a loving family. His parents were both goofy and great in their own way albeit a little busy all the time. His father was the governor while his mom was a full on humanist. His mother came from one of the most elite family in Konoha while His father was an orphan but that never seemed to stop the man in any way. His childhood although might not have been the best wasn't really the worst. It was just a little lonely once in a while. Even after joining the academy Kinder garden, kids and parents avoided him because his social status was higher than most.

But things started to look up after he made friends with Sasuke and the others. They'd known each other for some time now, since their mothers were kind of best friends. But Sasuke attracted girls like flies to manure. even his little beloved Sakura was crazy for him. He developed quite a crush for her since he was 8 due to her sass. But there was that one girl with short cropped hair and shy attitude that never looked at his best friend twice. She just seemed to always run and faint with him at close proximity. She was weird.

As time went, his little crush turned into a blossomed love and she became alone of his great friends. But she was still too focused on getting Sasuke's attention. Mean while Sasuke's focus never seemed to stray from studies and sports. Girls were just a nuisance to him. The only girl he talked to occasionally was Hinata since their dads were fellow businessmen. So his teenage years consisted of chasing after a girl who was in love with his best friend while his best friend blatantly liked the other girl. Their school had this weird rule of making teams that worked under a teacher. They got Kakashi sensei. Sasuke, Sakura and that weird guy Sai was on their team. Life was good. Until it wasn't.

His parents thought it was a good idea to send him with his god father to study, So he left. And so had Sasuke just after he got back for higher education and shit. Man, that really broke Sakura's heart but she kept quiet, for the first time ever. And suddenly everyone changed. He fell in love anew after sometime, with someone else. someone who happened to be the girl hi best friend liked. That seemed to be the end of it.

Hinata Hyuga

Hinata's family was an elite and rich family, Their lineage was even considered royal but their family lives were anything but rainbows and flowers. If anything it was just plain exhausting. Since childhood she had responsibilities a 6 year old never deserved. Sometimes she ev en wonders how she made this far with here sanity intact. Maybe it was her friends' support or maybe it was that yellow haired boy's encouragement that drove her this far in life. Ever since her mother's death, she had been lonely, she wasn't allowed to hang out with most children her age. Only selected ones which consisted of Naruto, Sasuke, Kiba, Shino, Ino, Shikamaru , Choji. Sakura joined the team on Ino and Naruto's persistence. Neji used to have a stick up his ass and held a big grudge against her but after a decade of the incident, he came around. Her childhood was anything but easy. She always kept herself away from others due to insecurities until someone who was all rainbowa and sunshine encouraged her to go further in life.

Honestly, Sasuke was her first friend due to both of their family's being highly important but he felt more like family as in brotherly. She never felt anything beyond friendly love but maybe that was because all her romantic feeling were directed towards one person only. So, that's why when Sasuke confessed, she had to reject. Thinking of asnyone other than Naruto had become impossible. Her father never really came close to understanding her in the prospect. She'd never opened up to anyone either. Life was only harder after you hit puberty, but this time around she had some pretty close friends to help her go through these times.

Then there was summer when it was just her and Naruto. They had to spend it together beacuse the others were just busy. Sasuke was in Oto for college. Sakura was in Med school. And InoShika=Cho was on vacation with their parents. Kiba was busy chasing after girls. Shino was just plain lazy. So they spent Summer break together , as friends. To Hinata, that was the best Summer ever. Just like the ones that came afterwards.

Five years later Sasuke proposed to her that her father approved of. But all she could think was how okay Naruto seemed with the setting, he wasn't bothered the least. But his eyes looked somber everytime she saw him, Sakura was back but she and Naruto were just the bestest of friends. Nothing romantic whatsoever. Perhaps he was just consoling her on losing Sasuke. all her life, people just made decisions for her as if she was incompetant. Two weeks before her wedding all she could think of was "I don't want this." That's what drove her to Naruto's that night. That's what compelled her to tell him. And when she did she'd broken down in happy tears as he returned those feelings wholeheartedly. Sasuke didn't deserve to be cheated on. But people do crazy things in love. So, She'd have to tell him to cancel the wedding. She couldn't be happy while the love of her life was hurting over her.
