A/N: Well I finished the plot sheet today-- 15 chapters total. That's about average for me I guess. Hopefully I will get it finished. I've only managed to complete 4 multichapter stories. Out of all the ones that I've started that's pretty sad. But as long as I stay obsessed with Naruto this should progress nicely.

Why are people so suprised about what my story entails. I guess some of you don't understand the term "liaison"- an adulterous affair. Well in the context I'm using it in anyway.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

"Dangerous Liaisons"

Chapter One: Secondary

Hinata Hyuga was determind to enjoy this day. It was one of the only pleasant and free days she would be allowed for a while. Hinata would not have to succumb to a vigorous training schedule or risk being riduculed and humiliated during the Chuunin exams. Not today at least.

No, today she could roam the village as she pleased enjoying the warm Kohona sun on her back. The town was as lively as ever with mothers scolding rowdy children and merchants haggling with potential buyers in the market place. Hinata smiled at the sights. It wasn't often she had to time to really appreciate the village or its inhabitants.

Passing over one of Kohona's brightly painted red bridges, she began to hum to herself. Not too loudly of course, that would be embarrassing. It was a soft song only made softer by her delicate vocal cords. She faintly remembered her mother singing when she was child. She wished she could remember the name.

A burst of laughter erupted through the town and Hinata instantly recognized its source. Halting in her tracks, she peered over the shoulder of her beige coat at the blonde with a large grin on his face. He was traveling with his teammates, Sakura and Sasuke. Sakura was smiling idly to herself and Sasuke looked as bored as ever. Both ignored Naruto's antics.

Once she and the group were parallel she struggled to call the boy's name.

"N-Nar-Naruto," she could already feel herself sweating.

"Hmm?" Naruto paused. "What is it Hinata?"

Her ivory eyes immediately darted to the ground. Naruto's cheerful azure orbs could be intense at times. No matter what the emotion, Hinata still found them intimidating.

"I-I...I... I I," she could feel the heat rise to her cheeks as she twirled her lithe fingers in circles.

The fox-like boy eventually shrugged and moved on rejoining his team.

Naruto, who had yet to master the art of subtlety or even whispering clearly said "she's weird" for Hinata and anyone else to hear.

The short haired genin couldn't believe it, she had shamed herself infront of her love interest again. Hinata's lips pouted into a nervous frown. How was she ever going to convince Naruto that she was anything more that a stuttering freak. Why did she get so flustered around him?

Suddenly spending time in the village seemed less appealing. She decided to head home for rest, remembering that she had an early morning of training with Kiba and Shino the next day.

"Come on Hinata you're not even trying!" Kiba shouted, pulling his punch about an inch away from the girl's face.

"I'm sorry Kiba. I'm not feeling well," she spoke so lowly that even Kiba's trained ears had to strain to hear her.

"Your not hurt are you? I told Shino to take it easy on you," Kiba glared at his teammate who was standing casually by a tree.

"No it's not that," she replied shortly.

"Hm?" Kiba's narrow slit pupils studied her curiously. "Then what is it?"

"It's nothing..."

Kiba's eyes narrowed as he rubbed his chin. He wasn't buying it. It wasn't unlike Hinata to be strange, but he never would have guessed she'd give up during training. Her whole goal was to become stronger and usually she saw their matches out. Even if she did lose everytime.

"Why don't you go take rest over there," he gestured to a clump of trees. "We'll continue in a few minutes."

She nodded meekly and trailed over to the suggested thicket. Kiba scratched the top of Akumaru's head watching her leave. He'd never understand women no matter how much time he spent with them.

"It must be something she ate!" Kiba smiled in triumph at his conclusion.

Shino gave a rare but mocking "hmph".

Kiba reluctantly looked over to his mysterious friend. "You think it's something else?"

"Clueless," was simply stated.

"What does that mean!" It was typical of Shino to be so vague, but it was really starting to piss Kiba off.

Shino's expression remained masked behind his jacket and sunglasses as he turned away in silence.

Kiba glanced over to Hinata relaxing on the grass and back to the retreating bug master. Dropping to the ground and crossing his legs into a short of "thinking position" he thought over the events.

'Clueless'
