Chapter 3: Meet the Dandere Character called Hinata Hyuga

———————————————————

(The School Yard)

I managed to make it to the School Yard early, in order to get a head start in finding somewhere to hide away from Ino.

After some time passed though, I could see that Ino was making her way to the school yard and me as a result.

But I saw her coming, so thanks to the fact that I had plenty of time to find a good hiding spot, I just stayed in my spot till the bell rang. This made Ino constantly look around for me in order to find me till the bell sounded off.

I breathed a sigh of relief, before waiting for Ino to enter the building. Once she did, I got out of my spot, it was an old abandoned classroom off limits to anyone who wasn't a third year or staff member but that never stopped me before. After a heavy sigh I entered the hallway heading to class.

(Inside the School)

I was in Class minding my own business, just waiting for the Class to be over.

"Hey, Naruto," a familiar voice whispered.

I turned my head and smiled. It was my best friend, Sasuke Uchiha.

Sasuke, unlike me, was well known around the school, the most popular guy in our grade. A big contributor to that are his looks and grades. He does have a knack for being cocky and very arrogant although that's more thanks to his family, at least most of the time, but underneath all that, he's actually a good guy when you get to know him, he's simply just always willing to help out a friend, since I was pretty much his only real Friend. We've been friends ever since we were kids. Our moms are best friends so we basically grew up together even though I'm a year older than him, whenever anyone would pick on me or him we would always fight them off together.

"What's up Sasuke?" I asked him.

"Is it true that you and Ino are together?" He queried.

I then flinched after he said that 'shit she's spreading that rumor fast isn't she' I thought to myself.

"It's complicated man, really really complicated".

"What does that mean?" Sasuke questioned.

"It's fine, don't worry about it" I responded.

"Okay, whatever you say" Sasuke said before turning away, he didn't look too convinced so I'm gonna have to hide this from him as best I can. After a while, the bell rang again, this time for lunch. "See ya at lunch Naruto" Sasuke told me, but boy was he wrong.

I made my way over to the cafeteria and was about to sit when I saw blonde hair out of the corner of my eye."Why aren't you sitting down?" Sasuke asked me but before he could, I heard.

"Senpai!" And made a run for it, realizing it was Ino.

Ino began once again, chasing after me, and I managed to avoid her just long enough to get back to the hall with the abandoned classroom.

He then peeked through the door glass and saw that she was nowhere in sight.

"That was close" I said before making my way back to the Cafeteria.

However, something felt off as I walked alone I could hear an echo . It may have been a quiet hallway but I wasn't stomping my foot so there should be no echo, I picked up speed and ran down the hallway.

'There's a men's room at the end of this corridor, if it's Ino I can hide in there.'

I made it to the bathroom, hid behind the wall, and peeked out when I heard the footsteps stop.

I saw blue hair, so I stepped out of the bathroom, and after I took a few steps closer, the hair ran in the opposite direction, to which I ran after it.

As I was chasing after the hair, it didn't take long before I realized exactly who it was, Hinata Hyuga.

Hinata Hyuga, she was a year below me but everyone knew her because of her family, everyone had heard of a Hyuga at least in some fashion. Her Blue Hair, along with her pale white eyes, soft voice, gentle and kind attitude, and amazing grades made her wanted by so many boys in the school.

I eventually caught up to her, grabbed her by the shoulders, turned her around, and asked her "Why are you following me?" In a rather calm and relaxed manner. Hinata grew quiet, she was embarrassed at being caught, "Why?" I questioned her.

"Why don't we talk about this while we go for a walk together?" She asked me this time.

This time I nodded and started walking through the School with her, hearing her out.

"You see, I started following you a while ago, I can't recall when but I've been doing it for a while now " Hinata explained.

"That doesn't answer my question as to why tho" usually I'd make a big deal out of this but after seeing Ino kill that girl I don't want to set her off if she's just as dangerous.

She turned bright red, It happened so fast I was actually worried she was gonna pass. "Because I like you senpai, I have for a long time now, I just didn't know how to approach you. I tried leaving notes in your locker but you never seemed to get them. I thought you didn't like me, but now I know why you didn't get them. I think Ino did something to them."

'Well she doesn't seem as bad as Ino or Sakura, but is a Stalker really my best option?' I inwardly asked myself.

"Wait, have you been following me this whole time?"

"Y-yes" she answered nervously.

"Wait, so did you see when Ino" I started but she interrupted me.

"Yeah, I saw when she killed that Girl and had you pinned to the ground" Hinata answered.

"Wait, why didn't you do anything then?" I asked her.

"I was about to, but then Iruka-Sensei walked in" Hinata told me.

"Oh, so" I started but was once again, ironically, interrupted by Iruka-Sensei.

"Hey there, what are you Two doing out of the Lunch Room?" We heard Iruka's voice calling us.

We turned around and saw Iruka there with a disappointing look on his face.

"Oh Iruka-Sensei" we said nervously, me while rubbing the back of my head, and Hinata while blushing deeply in embarrassment.

"Oh, it's you Hinata," Iruka said.

"Y-yeah" she stammered.

"Perfect, since you have such good grades and you don't mind hanging out with Naruto, you would be another perfect Tutor for him," Iruka explained.

"Wait, what?" Naruto and Hinata asked in unison.

"You know what I'm talking about Naruto, anyways, see you later" Iruka said before walking off.

I turned to Hinata and explained everything to her.

"Oh okay, I understand, but what about Ino" Hinata asked.

"I honestly don't know," I told her before the bell rang again.

"Ring!" and we began to walk to our classes.

(End of the School Day)

School was dismissed and as such, I began walking Home. Before I did though, I made sure to look around to make sure that neither Ino nor Hinata were around.

"Whew" I let out a breath of relief after seeing that they weren't around and made my way Home.

(Back Home)

I managed to make my way over to my House after half an hour and entered.

Once I entered I made my way to the Kitchen

"I'm home!" I shouted.

"Naruto! That you!?" My Mother, Kushina, shouted.

My Mother is pretty much a housewife. She used to be the head nurse at the hospital but after meeting my dad and having me she decided to stay home to watch me. She's a good mom but she's got one hell of a temper and if you saw it, you probably wouldn't live to see the next Day. It was why she was given the nickname the Red Hot Habanero, which is what drew my dad to her.

"Come to the Living Room!" My Father, Minato, shouted this time.

My dad runs the police force in town, which is a very hard job to say the least, but he always somehow manages to make time for me and mom, and both me and my mom love him very much for it. Mom says he is the most badass dude with a heart of gold. They met at the hospital where my mom worked and one thing led to another and here I am. I shrugged my shoulders and walked over to the living Room, hoping that I wasn't in trouble.

But once I made my way to the Living Room, my body froze and a chill went down my spine. Because right there, in the living Room, with my mom and dad, was Ino.

"Sweetie, why didn't you tell us about your girlfriend, Ino was it?" mom asked.

"We only started dating recently and he's just a bit shy about it, right Naruto-Kun," Ino said with a wink towards me.

"Uh, yeah, I guess," I answered.

"Well tell me about yourself Ino, how'd you and my son start going out?" mom questioned.

I wondered how Ino would reply, since she obviously couldn't tell them the truth.

"I was just walking through the Academy one day when he came outta nowhere and asked me to be his girlfriend, I said yes of course" Ino lied.

"Oh, well how very bold of you Naruto," Kushina commented to her son.

I honestly didn't know what else to say, but then dad told me

"Meet me in the backyard son" and he left for the backyard.

After a bit more talking with my mom and 'girlfriend', I went over to the backyard.

When I arrived there, I saw my father sitting by porch deep in thought

"Dad, why'd you wanna see me?" I asked.

My dad looked up after hearing my voice, he stood up, and told me.

"Since you have a Girlfriend now, and you're at that age I suppose now is as good of a time as any."

I didn't know how to respond, but then I thought about what he could mean and asked him with the sense of dread growing in my gut.

"Oh dad, no please, you don't mean?"

"Yes, son it's about time me and you had the talk" as soon as the last syllable left his mouth I booked it and ran as fast as I could.

Now don't get me wrong I'm fast, but dad is FAST. Just when I thought I'd made it I felt his hand on my shoulder as he all but tossed me over his shoulder back to the backyard I tried to struggle but his grip was tight.

"Now now son, settle down, remember, your mom used to be a Nurse, so I know what to talk about and how to begin. Ah yes now when a man and a woman love each other very much or are very drunk". As he started what was sure to be a trauma inducing lecture I only had one thought as I couldn't escape.

'Ino you crazy bitch, this is all your fault!'
