Chapter 9: I hope no one resents me

GASP!!! I'm so proud. I received my first unpositive review. You can't be a complete writer if EVERYBODY likes your stories. Except for some exceptional people (Go visit my favorites page if you want to know who). THANK YOU chibi-sasuke309 for this unique experience. Of course, I DO NOT ENCOURAGE THIS, WHILE PRODUCTIVE, IT ISN'T FUN. I will try to make my chapters a little less boring.

Disclaimer: I do not hate Hinata; so don't take it that way. She's just kind of… there all the time

Hyuuga Hinata is not the most confident of ninjas. She is pushed around by her father, Neji, and pretty much anyone who takes it upon them to be mean. Most people won't even notice her in the background. Still, she has one trait that is most admirable. She will never do anything to offend anyone, thus earning her P. Mage Trophy called; I hope no one resents me.

Yamanaka Ino is very much the opposite. NO ONE pushes her around. EVERYBODY is forced to notice her. And she offends MANY people whenever she feels like it. She earns the P. Mage Trophy called; I hope you all see me.

Now, you may all wonder where in the world these two opposites would meet. At a bar with boys? Not Hinata. At a quiet tea with family? Not Ino. At St. Brutus's Hospital for the Weak and Unstable? Well… Yeah.

Ino's parents sent her for therapy. It was rumored that Ino fainted because of attention. Hinata's dad sent her because… she was weak-minded.

The weird lady in the front was beginning the exercises, "Now breath in, breathe out, feel the tension inside of you and draw it out. Breathe in, breath out, release the bad aura and take in the good. You are strong; you will not give in to fear or pain. Let me here you say it."

"We are strong, we will not give in to fear or pain," came back the monotone answer.

"Good, can you feel the fear within you leaving?" she lady asked.

"Yes," said most of the girls. "No," said Ino.

The weird lady stopped, "Mrs. Yamanaka, you are being quite rude. Either that, or you are too unstable for me to cure."

Ino yawned, "Well, everybody else would say that they don't feel the fear, they're just too scared."

The lady puffed up and said, "Is Mrs. Yamanaka correct? Do you all not feel the fear?"

Hinata looked at Ino and thought, "I want to be like her. I want to stand up to what is wrong."

Hinata turned to the teacher, "S-s-s-sensei. I-I c-c-c-an't"

The teacher glared at the two, "Hinata, I was informed by your father that you would be most cooperative. I will have to inform him of this. Yamanaka and Hyuuga, you are dismissed and may take yourselves to the detention room."

Ino replied, "Yeah, yeah, we're going." And walked out.

In the detention room, Ino glanced around, "Oh yes, this is nice. I'll just get excused everyday. They have a TV, magazines, and a vending machine."

Ino looked at Hinata and thought, "I wonder what she's thinking." At this, an idea popped into her mind. "Hey Hinata, I'm going to take a little nap, if it's ok with you."

Hinata jumped, "Oh, umm, ok, that's fine. I might take one too."

Ino laid down and whispered, "Shinwanshin no jutsu."

Hinata's mind was like none other. It was dark. Three bright lights shone on the figure in the middle, which was sitting on a wooden chair. It was almost like one of those movies when the kidnappers interrogated the prisoner from the shadows.

"Oh, what am I going to do? Father will kill me. It was a foolish idea. I just wanted to be brave. I hope sensei doesn't resent me. That would be terrible. What if she does tell father and he sends me back anyways. So many people would be mad at me. I don't know if I can take it. No, I must, I am brave. I have to be like Naruto, Kiba, and Ino. They are all so brave and never afraid to say what they think."

Ino gained new respect for the "invisible girl", as she used to call Hinata, "She certainly knew the role models that she should follow. Maybe not so much Naruto and Kiba." Ino was also beginning to feel a little bad for dragging Hinata into this mess, "I can convince me parents to never send me back and my parents wouldn't be angry. Hinata's parents were a different story."

"I'll just walk up to sensei and apologize for disrupting the class. I'll also tell her that it is wrong to punish someone for speaking his or her mind. I'll tell father that… oh what do I tell father? He will never forgive me. He can make my life so miserable. I'll just tell him that I wanted to be strong, so I stood up for something that I believe in and against something that is wrong. He-he can't possible punish me for that. It's why he sent me here anyways."

Ino nodded, "Uh huh, you tell him Hinata. I'll back you up. Wait no, I'll pray for you from afar. I will give you the strength, from a safe distance of course." Then, another brilliant idea popped into her mind. "Or, I can use the mind control attack and speak to Hinata's father for her. She would have to do anything and if he got mad, he wouldn't get mad at me. I better get out of Hinata's mind quickly and tell her my plan." She did just that.

Hinata jumped when Ino suddenly popped up, "I just got a brilliant idea."

Hinata looked at her questionably, "Ino, you were sleeping."

Ino sweat-dropped, "Ah, yes I was, but I often come up with good ideas as I sleep."

Hinata was still doubtful, "O…k. Could you tell me your idea please?"

"Why don't I talk to your father for you using my mind control technique, that way, you won't have to be worried about what you say." Ino exclaimed excitedly.

Hinata looked at her strangely again, "How did you know that I was worried about talking to my father?"

Ino slapped herself mentally, "Well, it's kind of a sixth sense thing… that I get when I'm sleeping."

Hinata thought, "Ino sure is strange. Still, it's a kind offer."

Out loud, she said, "I thank you for offering, but I really need to talk to him myself. I need to get stronger and I need him to acknowledge me for my real strength."

Tears poured down Ino's face, "THAT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SPEECH. YOU HAVE MOVED ME SO." At this, Ino ran out of the detention room, never to return again.

Hinata stared after her and a question mark appeared above her head. "What was that all about? Oh well, class is probably over. I have to… go and do…it."

She walked out of the classroom, to her doom and misfortune, theoretically, but you know that would never happen.

Next chapter: Dramatics

A/N Do you realize how sappy that is? I had no idea how to personify Hinata, so her mind part is kind of short. So, how'd you like it? Eh eh, how'd you like it? Review please
