But before that happened… how did the gang end up where they were?

"Hi" (talking)
"Hi" (thinking)
"Hi" (flashback)
Recap-
"WATCH OUT!" She heard a girl yell. Hinata turned around just in time to see a ball heading straight towards her face. She shut her eyes tight waiting for the coming impact, but it never came. She slowly opened her eyes and then blushed. Right in front of her was Uzumaki Naruto.
Chapter 2- Friends and Happiness
Hinata shuddered, not because of the fact that they were using the outdoor gym in the middle of winter but because she was frightened. She watched the tennis ball that Uzumaki Naruto held, the one that was aimed for her, the one that would have if he had not stepped in the way would have hit her.
But even though she was very frightened, she still noticed who it was that helped her. Uzumaki Naruto. He was one of the so-called 'princes' of the academy… heck; he was one of the so-called 'princes' in the whole entire city! Yet… he was also the one to help her when not many would have done.
Hinata then blushed, well… why wouldn't she? She was shy, delicate, pretty yet… also in love… with whom may you ask? The one right in front of her of course, the one called Uzumaki Naruto. Why does she like him? Because he was brave, the total opposite of her. How she had yearned for her shyness to just one day magically fly out of her. Yeah right. Magic never works; a wish never comes true; and dreams are sometimes even called trash.
The only one she could depend on is herself but she wasn't doing much of a good job. But Naruto was. He was a handsome blond man with cerulean blue eyes. He had whisker-like lines on his cheek, adding to his cuteness. He wasn't considered rich since he lives by himself. But there had been rumors saying that his father was the 4th principle of the school, which is also the reason why he's here.
He just kept building himself up to his position he holds at Konoha academy today. At the age of 13 he joined the Konoha police where only Uchiha's could be allowed to be. But Uchiha Sasuke supported him for some weird reason that nobody knows. Some say that Naruto blackmailed Sasuke and some say that Sasuke and Naruto were having an affair but the one that's most true that most people believe is that they are friends. It's quite possible since one is an ice cube while the other is a hyperactive knucklehead. His grades aren't too good but Sasuke is tutoring him. And after only a week, the Uchiha's came to respect the kid since he was able to catch 4 of the high-ranking criminals in just 9 days. And… he reached the rank of '3rd lieutenant'. Sasuke was the 2nd lieutenant right now and his older brother; Uchiha Itachi is the 1st lieutenant.
Her cousin Neji was another prince. He is from the branch of the Hyuuga Clan. In other words, his job is to help support the main branch… and who is it he has to? Hyuuga Hinata. Even though, that's his job he doesn't really do much since he detests the way his so called master is so shy and can't even stick up for himself… so why should he bother? Even Hinata's younger sister, Hyuuga Hanabi was 'better' than her. So… why is it really that Hyuuga Hiashi would enroll Hinata here at Konoha academy? Nobody would ever know.
Her father always did say she should stick up for herself…
So, now what should she do? What would she be able to do, by herself?
"Um…" Hinata muttered looking down onto the floor and then looking back up, not knowing what to do.
"Are you okay?" a girl called out from behind her. Hinata turned around slowly. She smiled shyly to the girl as the girl just smiled back. The girl had chocolate brown eyes and charcoal brown hair that was tied up in two neat buns.
"Hinata-chan, are you sure you're okay?" Naruto asked her, Hinata blushed and furiously nodded her head. "Hinata-chan, you're getting red are you sure you're not sick or have a fever?" He asked as he put his hand on Hinata's forehead making her blush like a tomato.
The other girl, noticing this quickly took Naruto's hand away. "Are you hurt?" she asked sincerely as she checked at the places where the tennis balls had hit her. "Here, I have some ointments, you should put these on the little bruises." She said as she took out a little bottle and handed it to her.
"Thank you." Hinata said and smiled thankfully.
"No problem, I'm Tenten." She said as she held out a hand. Hinata took it and then they shook.
"I'm Hyuuga Hinata… and I don't mean anything by this but what's your last name?" Hinata asked shyly as her eyes pondered to the floor. But she could still tell this question surprised Tenten since her eyes widened at the question. Then a smile formed… but it wasn't any smile, but a sad smile.
"I don't have one…" she simply answered.
"What? Why not?"
"My parents died when I was young and I have no relatives so I have not the least clue what my last name is…" She said as a smile just formed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…" Hinata said abruptly.
"No it's okay! I'm actually glad someone cares to the very least."
"Um… how did you get into this school?"
"Scholarships. I got over 100 scholarships when I was in elementary school and so I just came to this school." Tenten said as she just gave a warm smile.
"Oh… you must be really talented…" Hinata mumbled. "Unlike me…" Tenten looked at her like she was crazy. She thought for a bit and then opened her mouth to speak.
"Nah, you're not untalented… you're just a late bloomer!" Tenten said, at this Hinata smiled. "Come on." She said as she turned around.
"Where are you going?" Hinata mumbled as she followed Tenten slowly. Tenten looked back and smirked.
"We're gonna find you your talent!" Tenten said as she pulled Hinata along.
A while later…
"Okay… let's try dancing first… there's only one room left and auditions start at three in the 3rd auditorium…" Tenten read from the paper. "Do you like dancing?"
"Well… yes I do… I did win an award once…"
"Great, then this club will do."
"Ano…"
"Yeah, Hinata?"
"It's 2:57…" Hinata said as she showed Tenten her watch.
"SHIT!" Tenten cursed before taking Hinata's hand and dragged her to the third auditorium that was at the other side of the campus.
Third auditorium…
"The auditioning for the Dance Club is very simple. I'll choose a song for you and you'll have to improvise dance. First off Sozuno Yukio." The club instructor said as she read the name from the list.
Hinata and Tenten…
"WE'RE ALMOST THERE!" Tenten yelled as she continued to drag Hinata along.
"Ahh…" Hinata cried as she fell down on the hard floor. Tenten turned around and ran back to her.
"Are you okay? What happened?" She cried.
"I think I hurt my ankle…" Hinata mumbled. Tenten sighed.
"Is it serious?"
"I don't think so… It just hurts a little."
"Where's the ointment I gave you earlier?" Tenten asked.
"Here." Hinata said as she gave Tenten the ointment back. She watched as Tenten twist opened the ointment and take some.
"This might hurt a little." Tenten said as she rubbed the cream on Hinata's skin, Hinata grimaced in pain before loosening up. "Okay… now…" She muttered as she reached into her pocket and took out a handkerchief. "Alright…" She said as she wrapped it around Hinata's foot. "Is it better now?" she asked in concern.
"Yeah it is… thanks." Hinata said shyly.
"No problem, can you still run?" Tenten asked again.
"Yeah…" Hinata mumbled.
"Alright, let's go." Tenten said as she picked Hinata up. Now Tenten was practically giving Hinata a piggyback ride.
"I said I could still run!" Hinata cried out.
"I know but you'll be needing that strength to dance right?" Tenten said as she winked to her before running as fast as she can to the auditorium, unaware of the person watching them.
Third auditorium…
"Alright… any last minute sign ups?" The club instructor said as she scanned the room. "Going once… going twice… alright…"
"WAIT!" a loud yell could be heard throughout the big room. All attention turned towards the brown haired girl and the Hyuuga heiress. "Hyuuga Hinata… she would like to audition…" the girl huffed; she was obviously out of breath.
"I'm sorry but the auditions already ended. The dance club cannot afford to take anyone that's late, you know that already Tenten. She was late so she cannot audition." The lady said as she shook her head.
"Please, at least give her a chance!" Tenten argued back.
"It's okay…" Hinata mumbled as she tried her best to hold Tenten back.
"It's not okay, I'm your friend and I said that I'll help you so I will!" Tenten told Hinata who got really surprised since she never HAD any REAL friends before.
"Aiyu-sensei, please let her participate." Someone said. All eyes turned towards the source of the voice. It was Naruto and Neji.
"Neji-nii-san…" Hinata stuttered as her eyes went wide and full of fear.
"Uzumaki-san, Hyuuga-san… fine. Next up, Hyuuga Hinata…" the dance instructor said as she went through her albums in search of a song.
"But…"
"You can do it Hinata!" Tenten said to her with a smile. "Believe in yourself." She said.
"Okay…" Hinata mumbled before going up on the stage. She looked around the auditorium nervously. Suddenly the door slammed open. Students poured into the room. Hinata looked at everyone with wide eyes. "Oh no… why are they coming in?" She then saw Yukio smirk and felt tears come to her eyes when she motioned with her fingers, pointing at her and then a thumbs down.
"Psst. Hinata!" Hinata looked at Tenten who was at the front. She was waving a finger out her motioning her to go there. She walked nervously to her.
"Yes…?"
"Let me give you an advice. It's what I do. When you start playing or in this case start dancing, pretend nothing else exists. Get the rhythm of the game and you'll do fine!"
"But there are so many people… I don't think I can…"
"Don't let them scare you, it's because you show them your fear that they will doubt you and pick on you. Don't give them the chance to do that! Now go and give them all you've got!" Tenten said before backing away from the stage.
Hinata gulped, she felt beads of sweat drench her pale face. The music started. It was Unwritten, by Natasha Bedingfield
"Oh no…" Hinata mumbled as she saw her father, mother, her little sister and even her cousin, Neji watch her. "What do I do?" she thought as her eyes widened in fear. She watched silently at her family as her fists unconsciously clenched beside her.
I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
Im just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned
The song started playing. Whispers filled the auditorium. She watched as her father shook his head in disappointment, her mother as she sighed, her little sister as she rolled her eyes… and her cousin who gave her a menacing glare. She felt like calling out to her father as he turned around and started out the door.
Staring at the blank page before you
open up the dirty window
"YOU CAN DO IT HINATA-CHAN!" the shout echoed through the auditorium. Everyone turned around and stared at Naruto who had shouted out to her.
"YEAH! YOU CAN DO THIS!" Hinata watched Tenten who had stood up from her seat.
Let the sun illuminate the words that you cannot find
Reaching for something in the distance
Hinata felt a smile tugging her lips as it slowly crept into a smile. A brand new energy that came to her flooded her. "I can do this too…" She thought as her legs moved.
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions!
"Move faster, more swift, more fluent, lose myself while dancing… nobody else exists…" Hinata thought as she glided across the stage swiftly.
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you can not find
"Thank you Tenten for giving me this chance…" She thought as an image of her new founded friend covered her thoughts.
"Don't let them scare you, it's because you show them your fear that they will doubt you and pick on you. Don't give them the chance to do that! Now go and give them all you've got!"
Tenten's words flooded her brain now. "I can't show any fear…" Hinata thought as she continued to dance. "Thank you… Tenten…" she whispered happily as she felt all eyes on her but that didn't matter now…
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
But the rest is still unwritten
"Thank you Naruto, for helping me when I needed the help…" Hinata thought as she smiled inwardly. She took a glance at Naruto who was grinning. And beside him, Neji was… smiling… he was smiling at her. Suddenly a new thought questioned her. And then she realized… Neji didn't hate her. She just hated her shyness… so if she's able to prove herself… if only…!
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open

The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten…
Hinata made one last twirl before raising her hands up into the air. Her foots were placed parallel to her shoulders. She looked up and smiled. "Thank you everyone…" She thought as Tenten, Naruto and her family came up to the stage. Clapping filled the auditorium, echoing into the day.
A while later…
"You were great Hinata-chan!" Naruto yelled to her as he gave her a peck on the cheeks. Hinata's face turned bright red and her eyes widened. Suddenly she felt faint.
"You did great, Hinata-sama." Neji said as he walked up to her and gave her a smile.
"HINATA!" Hinata turned around to see Tenten running towards her. "I have great news!"
"What happened?"
"LOOK!" Tenten said as she shoved the papers in front of Hinata's face. "The principle was watching and apparently Sozuno Yukio thought that you won't dance and got the media to come. They filmed your dance and they loved it! The principle also wants you to be the new caption of the dance club too!" she said happily.
"Wow… but I don't really want to be famous…" Hinata mumbled.
"That's what I thought too so when the press came, I threw handballs, basketballs, tennis rackets… this could go on all day but I did kinda make them scram so you have no worries except for the fact that you were on worldwide television…" she said as her voice trailed off at the end.
"I was on worldwide… television…?"Hinata mumbled as her eyes widened.
"Some how I get the feeling that I wasn't suppose to say that…" Tenten mumbled.
"You could say that again…" Neji muttered right back. Hinata smiled as she watched Tenten and Neji talk… or more like argue, but she just shook that off.
"Thank you Naruto… Tenten…" she thought as her smile brightened.
Later that day…
Tenten yawned as Hinata, Naruto and Neji walked to the dorms with her. Then suddenly "Hey Hinata, guess what…?"
"What?"
"You've bloomed into a beautiful flower… not to mention you're a great dancer too!" Tenten said as she gave Hinata a wink and a thumb up.
"Thanks."
"For what?"
"Well… you helped me so much and… well…" Hinata mumbled.
"Nah, it wasn't me… the dancing was all and only you. You made it possible. Keep it up!" Tenten said as she grinned.
"Yeah…"
4 years later… Hinata's POV
We're all in high school now… and I'm 17 now… a lot has changed since that day… I owe it all to my friends, and I know that they will always help me no matter what…
So in the end, everything ended well. Father respected me more now. My sister looks up to me too. I never knew that this was possible, but the student body also respects me more. And all those girls who were picking on me are nice to me now. Though I do know they aren't REALLY nice to me.
In the 2nd year, we met Shikamaru who became our friend too. He's a really lazy guy but also nice. We also met Yamanaka Ino who became our friend, but she left us and joined the Uchiha Sasuke fan club. Shikamaru and her changed a lot after she joined their little 'posse'. He became a little more attentive yet at the same time, he seemed to stare out into the clouds more. He doesn't really talk much to us too. Ino doesn't really talk to us now, she's nicer to us than to other people but she's still kind of mean… I wonder what could change her back into that same girl that befriended us?
Tenten and Neji are doing great too. Tenten is now very respected. She's a lot like an angel in the field, helping the girls AND boys win the state games. I also happen to know that Neji-nii-san likes Tenten. And I think that Tenten likes Neji too… but is just too shy to admit it. Every time I bring up that subject, she gets red and changes it into another. Neji is just the same.
And Naruto-kun… well… we're now dating… I found out that he REALLY… (Emphasize on really) Really likes ramen. And you know what? I like ramen A LOT too now… we're all doing great… And I'm sure that, I'll still meet new friends that will support me along the way… I mean… nothings impossible right?
"Hi my name's Haruno Sakura!" The pink haired girl up front said as she smiled. She was absolutely gorgeous… and I think I've heard of her name before… or maybe not…
And so, the past has ended… and this is the beginning… of a new start!
momoironeko- wow, this story is really short... sorry if i kinda rushed things a bit!
