HELLO! This is my first naruto fic so please go easy on me!

"blah" talking

Blah thinking

Sasuke wiped the grit off the window. It was one of those sunny days where things went hellish wrong for some people and right for others. He hated these days. He looked at the messy bed he had just woken up from and fixed it nicely. He then noticed another hole in the wall beside the bed. He sighed. He had been doing that a lot now recently. In his sleep, he would always be fighting. He knew who he was fighting. And knew the fighter had to die.

Sasuke dragged the bed a little more to the left to find out a hole on the right side would be revealed. He sighed again in frustration. He was going to have to fix it, and that meant spending money. He was already tight with money. Today was going to be one of those hellish days that wouldn't go right. He went into the washroom and showered with cold water. Getting hot water to run took way too long.

He dressed angrily. He didn't have so much money to start with in the first place. So why this? As Sasuke pulled a black t-shirt on, he wondered why he spent so much on the gym. It was like he was motivated by something. That something so long ago… But not forgotten. He cracked his knuckles. A certain man who was going to die…

He slammed the flimsy door of his cheap apartment. Today was the first day of his new job. It was definitely not going to be enjoyable

Sakura's black heels clicked lightly on the pavement. She was dressed to please, though she wasn't sure who she was going to please, probably the paparazzi that were going to be following her any moment now.

As if on cue, a man popped out from an alley and took a quick picture of her. Typical. She decided to ignore that and enjoy the light melody from her silver bracelet as she walked. She hoped she was dressed better than Ino. She couldn't have the poorer heiress beat her. She looked down at her attire as she walked down the road.

A yellow t-shirt, and on the top, a orange and cream short jacket with sleeves that only came up to her elbow. On her pink head was a beige hair band to show off her wide, charming (at least she thought so) forehead. Her bottom was designer jean caprice and a pair of black Louis Vuitton heels. As well, she had taken great pains with the make up so that her forest green eyes stood out and her lip color matched her hair color. All in all, Sakura thought it was a beautiful combination, enough to bring tears to her personal designer.

She walked into a local café, one of her favorites. It was one of the many shops that bought coffee beans from her father's company. Yes, she was an heiress. A rich one too. The air conditioned atmosphere hit her as she opened the door. She relished that. She couldn't have herself start sweating.

Just then, Sakura's cell phone rang. She checked the caller ID to see that it was 'Ino-pig'. As she put her ear on the phone, she ordered one ice cappuccino without looking at who she was talking to. Hardly anyone worthy came in here.

"Forhead-chan!" You could see the vein popping out of Sakura's forehead. "Ino-pig. Don't call me that!" Sakura could practically envision Ino tossing her blond hair as she heard "Sure forehead chan." Inner Sakura was screaming for her to kill her. "Ino-pig, you're late. I thought punctuality was your best quality." Sakura enjoyed hitting Ino back with her own words. "I said punctuality was my best quality second to my good looks forehead chan. Remember? Anyways, I have a good reason. There was a diamond necklace I HAD to have at Tiffany's so I was just getting that. Besides, I'll be there in, oh, I don't know, in 3…2…."

The shop door jingled as Ino came into the shop. "1." Ino slapped her cell phone closed as Sakura did. "Ino-pig." Sakura said as acknowledgement. "Forehead chan." Ino replied. You could practically see the tension between them. Sakura sucked on her straw with furious intensity. Their relationship had been strained since that little 'incident' in high school. Both had committed an unforgivable crime. They had both worn the same expensive dress for the prom. To put it mildly, you can say there was a catfight.

Ino pushed her Silhouette Sunglasses up onto her head. "One ice cappuccino please." Ino also said without looking. She was too busy seeing if she looked nice so that the paparazzi outside could at least take a good shot of her.

She was absolutely sure her short shorts were perfect, as well as her flip-flops. Her purple-blue top with straps below the shoulder seemed pretty good too. Sakura didn't stand a chance in the photo. She tossed her hair lightly. Sakura wanted to pull it. It was just so tempting.

"Here." Someone said as he handed Ino her drink. Ino looked up with disinterest until she saw the face. It was beautiful. Sakura stared at Ino strangely. What was she looking at? She turned also to be frozen completely. The guy. Was. Gorgeous.

His pale complexion was flawless as was his raven hair. It was just so natural… but… so cool. His dark eyes looked into hers. It was like he was looking right through her. She blushed. Oh my god. He was looking at her. Meanwhile, Sasuke was very annoyed. You might even say he was pissed.

What are these two bobble heads looking at? He shoved the drink into the blonde's hand and gave her her total. She searched inside her top quality bag without ever taking her eyes off of him. Really, it was like a talent. She handed him a twenty and Sasuke shoved it into the cash register. It was annoying. She had jumped when he had accidentally touched her. And the pink haired girl. She was even more annoying. She kept STARING. It was like she had nothing better to stare at. Yeah right.

Both girls drank their ice cappuccino while staring at Sasuke, and once in a while, glaring at each other. They were clearly rivals. Sasuke was definitely annoyed and creeped out. Sure, he had had some girls like these, but they didn't have the same passion to him as they looked. He was starting to get Goosebumps. Also, he was getting an urge to punch something. Hard. He was relived when they finally finished their drink. They were going to go. Unfortunately, they didn't. They sat there for almost an eternity looking at him. He should ask them to leave.

Just then, Ino checked her watch. Her dark blue eyes widened. "Hey! Forehead chan! We're late!" Sakura snapped out and checked her cell phone clock. 3:04. They were late! 34 minutes late to be exact. And counting. "Oh no! Come on Ino-pig! Let's go!" Sakura rushed out the door to a limousine and slid in. Ino also stood up, but waved at Sasuke with a smile. "Bye." Sasuke crushed her drink cup and threw it in the garbage can. He hoped she got the message. But by the giggling as she went out, he doubted it.

"Faster driver! We need to get to the Hyuuga mansion immediately!" The driver only briefly nodded as he sped up a little. Only a little. Sakura sighed. They weren't going to make it in time. She hoped Hinata wouldn't be upset.

As the limousine driver came to a stop in front of the mansion. Ino and Sakura ran out and rang the bell. It was immediately opened by a maid. "Yes?" Sakura couldn't believe how similar she looked to Hinata. Then again, the Hyuuga family had a strange way of getting servants. "I believe Hinata is expecting us." The maid stared at her blankly. "Ah. I see," she said with absolutely no emotion, "come in please. I will lead you to Hinata-sama." Ino and Sakura followed the maid through the large house. Everything was either very pale or very dark. But it was in a stylish way. Also, everything looked expensive. Sakura could already see Ino calculating the cost of the hallway they were going through. It was probably in the millions, if not billions. The Hyuugas were a powerful family.

Faint music came from a room at the end of the hall. The maid opened the door to a bright white room. It was almost completely empty except for a few painting or vase here and there. The huge glass wall on the other side showed an ocean view with white sand complete with clear blue water. In the center, Hinata played the grand piano.

The blind girl was remarkably coordinated. (AN: I'm sorry if you don't like it like this! I mean it's modern times and she has white eyes! Come on! And I couldn't think of any eye color for her. Sorry. Please tell me if you don't like it!) The black and white keys were sailing along with her fingers as she played a wonderful piece. Sakura didn't want to call her. It would end the song

"Hinata…"

Hinata immediately froze and stood up. "H-hello? Hinabi? Is that you? N-Neji-san?" She looked at the door way unseeing. Sakura could feel her helplessness. "No. Hinata. It's us. Ino-pig and Sakura. We're sorry we're late." Hinata blushed. "Oh. No. It's okay." Hinata felt foolish for thinking they were Hinabi or Neji. "I should get dressed." She brushed her long black hair with her fingers. Sakura was glad she had decided to grow it. It looked nice on her. (AN: again, tell me if you don't like it.)

She reached for the walking stick against the piano and slowly went out. "Y-you can wait in t-the lobby." (AN: she has a stutter but not TOO bad. It gets worse when Naruto is there )) Ino stared at Hinata's outfit. It was a t-shirt and designer jeans. "You know, she could just go out for a walk with those." Sakura nodded. "But I guess the Hyuugas want her to look proper in front of the paparazzi." Ino nodded.

Hinata came immediately after both had arrived in the huge lobby. She was wearing a white sundress with a wide brimmed sunhat in her other hand. She had low white heels on too. Also, her pearl earrings stood out against her black hair. "Awww… Hinata, you look so cute!" Hinata blushed at Sakura's statement. "T-thank you Sakura-chan." Ino nodded. "You'll attract a lot of guys." Hinata gasped and blushed at the same time, but Ino smiled jokingly. Hinata visibly relaxed. Sakura had no idea why she was so jumpy all the time. And she was pretty cute.

All three walked out the door to the beach that was part of the Hyuuga estate. They did this everyday. Ino and Sakura would always come over and take Hinata out for a walk. It would do them all good.

Meanwhile, someone was getting ready for his break. The Kakashi person, Sasuke's boss (lol) had determined it was time for break, which was a relief since Sasuke wanted to get the hell out of there. His boss was scaring him too. He seemed a little….off.

As Sasuke took off his name tag, the store door jingled. "Hey Sasuke-teme." Sasuke growled. It was Naruto. "Dobe." He said without looking up. He didn't know why he put up with Naruto. He was annoying, loud, and most of all, crazy. Ramen crazy to be exact. Sasuke looked up to see Naruto grinning at him like the idiot he was. His blond hair was messy as usual, and his blue eyes were covered since he was smiling.

"Sasuke-teme, thought we were going to go eat lunch now. Hurry up! I could be way faster than you." Naruto grinned again. He loved to beat Sasuke at anything. "Just wait dobe. Patience is everything." Naruto blew a raspberry, clearly saying 'I don't give a shit about patience.' Sasuke rolled his eyes. Naruto was such a fool. He wondered just what his luck was to meet him.

They had met in high school, only by chance. Naruto had claimed himself rival to Sasuke and Sasuke had beaten him every chance he got. Except once. That one time stayed with Sasuke for a long time.

Sasuke returned to reality as Naruto shoved something in his face. A cell phone. Brand new too. "See? Ha! Bet you don't get paid so much at your job than mine! I already had enough money to buy a cell phone! And you didn't!" Naruto looked so happy. Sasuke had a sweat drop on his head. He just wondered how old Naruto was in mind. It certainly wasn't twenty.

"So anyways, let's go eat ramen! I think I'll have miso today. What about you?" Naruto asked as they went out. Sasuke was going to be sick if they ate one more bowl of ramen for lunch. "How about some place that doesn't have ramen?" Naruto stared at him, horrified. "YOU BASTARD! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? RAMEN IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD!" Sasuke ignored him. He was going through his ramen loving phase. It would pass soon.

"I'm going to go grab a hot dog by the beach. You coming?" Naruto grumbled about bastards not loving ramen and followed. He would eat even more ramen later to make up for it. He followed Sasuke sulkily, which suited Sasuke just fine. No more loudness. But that phase didn't last for long either.

All three girls were laughing or giggling as the white water lapped against their ankles. It was always fun to be in the tide, laughing with your friends. Sakura almost forgot Ino and she had declared themselves rivals. Well, more like she did. However, that was soon forgotten as another tide came up. Hinata was having a good time too. She was actually laughing and smiling, but quietly and timidly. Ino was somewhere else out of the water taking 'an important call'.

Sakura and Hinata were holding their heels out of the water as the water rushed between their legs and brushed up against their feet. It was so relaxing. Hinata had currently folded up her stick and stuck it in her Prada bag. It was nice to not need a stick once in a while. Sakura held Hinata's other hand to guide her a bit so that they could avoid occasional huge waves. Still, they were soaked from the waist down. The paparazzi were going to have a field day with this.

Sakura looked towards Ino to find, she was not there. Where did she go? Sakura looked around with panic. Was it a kidnapping? Oh no… Sakura started to panic. Was the kidnapper still here?

That's when she saw her. With that hot guy from the café. Flirting with him beside a hot dog vendor. Sakura's panic disappeared and was replaced by fury. Hinata, sensing the sudden emotional changes looked toward Sakura's direction with concern. "What's wrong Sakura-chan?" Sakura was almost too mad to answer. "Nothing. Hinata-chan, I'll be right back. You stay here." With that, Sakura hastily put on her heels and ran towards her rival. Ino was going to pay.

Hinata stood there alone and scared. She hoped Sakura-chan was going to be okay. Now she just needed to get out of the water.

Sasuke was horrified. It was the stupid blonde AGAIN. And he could see her annoying friend, bubble-gum hair. (AN: yaya, this might sound lame or too mean. Whatever.) The blonde was flirting with all her might and not succeeding. Mostly because he was ignoring her. But she just didn't give up. He was just going to get a hot dog, but this blond had intercepted him from his lunch. He was thoroughly pissed. Naruto was looking at him jealously. He had no idea that this was nothing to be jealous about.

Soon, the pink haired girl had joined her. God… Now Naruto was staring at her. He obviously thought she was cute. Outside of that, Ino and Sakura were having a silent glaring fight. Inner Sakura was thoroughly enjoying this. 'HELL YEAH! DON'T LET HER GET AWAY WITH IT!" Sakura was burning with fury now. Ino was annoyed she had stopped her.

"Ino-pig, what are you doing?" Ino was getting angry. "Forehead-chan, nothing to worry about. Just doing what I do best." Sakura was really getting pissed off now. FOREHEAD-CHAN! Just how long had she called her that? Long enough. "Doing what? Being a slut? And don't call me Forehead-chan. I have a name. Sakura Haruno." Ino was in shock. She had never called her a slut before! She didn't think Sakura had had that in her. "Well than, I also have a name. Ino Yamanako. And don't forget it!" Ino pushed Sakura back with a finger on her forehead. This was all it took. Sakura lunged.

Soon, it was a replay of their prom night. Sasuke was not interested and started to walk away with the hot dog he had bought when the two girls were arguing. Naruto was trying to say something to stop it or just bring attention to himself. ("HEY! DON'T FIGHT OVER HIM! IT'S ME WHO'S CUTE!) Nothing seemed to stop the fighting on the beach until a certain person came.

"Sakura-chan? Ino-chan? What's going on?"

The fighting ceased to reveal a messy haired Sakura and Ino with her perfect pony tail disarranged. Hinata looked blankly at them. Sakura was ashamed. To get into a fight like that! What would he think of me? She blushed. Ino just stood there, looking at the ground.

Hinata, still unknowing, looked into their direction. "Sakura-chan? Ino-chan?" There was silence. Then, recognization.

"Hinata-chan?"

Hinata turned toward the direction of the voice. "N-Naruto-kun?"
