Chapter 28- The Start to everything

"Girls it's almost here!" Screamed Ino in a high pitched voice.

"I Know I'm so excited!" Yelled Sakura. Both Temari and Tenten just looked at them with a confused face.

"Someone cares to explain what the big deal is I-"

"What"

"The"

"Big"

"Deal"

"IS?!"Sakura and Ino yelled at the top of their lungs!

"Yea I mean-"

"It's the night of your life you dress as beautiful as you wish! All eyes will be on you that night! The hair, the makeup "Ino squealed.

"The jewelry, the dancing you feel just like a princess!" Sakura yelled.

"But what if I don't like that stuff?" Asked Temari with an annoyed look on her face.

"Yea beside, heels make my feet hurt like crazy." Said Tenten while leaning against the wall.

"FOR THIS NIGHT YOU WILL!"

Temari and Tenten sighed. "Suffer with me?" Tenten said while placing a hand on Temari's shoulder.

"Do I have a choice?" She smiled at her.

"Hey Hinata are you excited-Hinata?Hinata?"

"Naruto, I will be home soon-no you can't place the chicken in the microwave-No you can't put that-no do you want to burn the house down! We will order pizza, kay, love you too, bye" Hinata hanged up the phone and giggled to herself. She looked behind her and saw eyes piercing at her.

"Why did you go without telling us?" Said an angry Sakura

"S-sorry I had to talk to Naruto and-"

"Naruto gave us orders to watch you, don't go off okay?" Said a more concerned Tenten.

"I'm sorry"

"So Hinata did you get your prom dress yet?"

Hinata placed her finger on her mouth. "No not yet I don't think I-"

"What! Don't you dare finish that sentence! Did you buy your ticket?"

"Yes I did but-"

"We have to find you a dress now!" They dragged Hinata from the food court, to the over the stores to find the perfect dress. They had her try on every dress they thought would look nice on her, but Hinata didn't want anything to revealing, and didn't want a short dress.

"I don't think we can find her one!" Said Ino

"Ugh…This sucks I-"

"Hinata that's really pretty, I love how it looks on you" happily said Tenten.

"It looks perfect on you, and it isn't expensive!" Said Temari.

"Thanks I will get this one! Let me take it off!"

"WAIT WE HAVE TO SEE IT!"

''NO!" Temari and Tenten kicked Sakura and Ino out the dressing room. "She wants you two to wait till prom day!"

"B-but why?' Whined Ino.

"Because you should be happy she is going to prom, don't push her anymore!"

Both girls sighed. "Fine…" Hinata paid for her dress and the girls piled up into Temari's car. They each got dropped off one by one. They finally hit Hinata's and Naruto's place.

"And this is your stop" Said Temari, "You have everything?"

"Yes I do, Thanks girls, it was fun! I'll see you guys tomorrow!" Hinata went out the car and walked up the apartment. She was greeted to Naruto sitting on the couch, with a box of pizza on the table.

"How was shopping" He said, he got off the couch and went to grab the stuff from Hianta's hand.

"N-no! Don't touch this!" She put the dress behind her back.

"Why not? What is it?"

"I-its nothing!" She started backing into the room. Naruto grinned and knew it was something important.

"Hmm, Hinata-chan what is it? Hmm…What is important that is coming u- DRESS IT'S A DRESS!"

"Nooo!" Hinata ran to the room; before she had a chance to close the door Naruto threw the door open.

"Let me see it!"

"Okay fine it is a dress, but please wait till prom so It will be a surprise okay, please?"

"Fine fine fine, I'm glad you changed your mind, I mean we only get one prom."

"Yea I know, well I'm hungry and there is pizza.."

Naruto smiled and put the dress in the closet for her and swept Hinata off her feet. "I got it like 10 minutes ago, come on lets go eat"

She giggled as he picked her up and kissed her nose lightly. "Okay" They went to the living room and ate.

The afternoon the next day

"I can't believe prom is tomorrow!" Ino said happily

"I know, I can't believe senior year is almost over"

"Why are you so sad? We are all going to be in the same college! Just different courses."Said Sakura

"It just won't be the same"

"But at least we will all be close by, and we can see each other it's going to be okay" Hinata said, trying to cheer her friend up.

"Yea I guess your right" Said Tenten smiling.

"Exactly! I wonder how the guys are getting ready for tomorrow! I mean we are stuck here doing our nails, and making sure we have everything before tomorrow!" Ino said slightly annoyed.

"Maybe they are trying to get things ready for tomorrow too?" Said Tenten as she titled her head.

With the guys

"Shikmaru pass the chips." Said a slightly distracted Naruto.

"DAMN IT SASUKE WHY DID YOU KILL ME, IM ON YOUR DAMN TEAM!"

"You kept taking my kills…"

"BUT THAT JUST TOOK A POINT OFF OUR SCORE!"

"Don't steal my kills then!"

"Naruto the chips are too far"

"Ugh! Neji Chips plea-Neji?"

"Hn…"

"Neji!"

"Can't you see I'm on a killing spree, don't mess up my concentration…"

"ugh!" Naruto put the controller down and got the chips. Naruto turned to the TV once he heard a boom.

"WHO POPPED MY HEAD OFF! WHY DIDN'T ANYONE COVER ME!"

"You were to out in the open!"

''SCREW YOU GUYS!"

With the girls

"Hmm I wonder that too" Hinata said while giggling. "Well let's finish here, we need rest tonight so we can be up and awake for prom tomorrow."

"Agree!"The girls started heading home. Everyone met up and the guys had to endure the girls talking about how excited they were for prom, on the other hand, they felt glad they didn't have to go through the issues of doing hair, or finding under wear that didn't show your panty line in a dress, all the guys had to worry about was money, Limo, and condoms. Ahhh the good life.

The day was finally here, the girls were going crazy, getting ready for prom, doing their hair, making sure everything was set for this day. The girls agreed to go to Tenten's house, and all the boys will pick them up there. The prom was at 7, and it was 7:24 and it took about an hour to get there. The girls were dressed, make up done, and everything. They waited patiently, well most of them did.

"I Will Kill KIBA! Where is he?"

"Ino Calm down they will be here soon" Said Hinata trying to calm her friend.

"You know girls…we look pretty damn awesome…Thanks Ino for doing our hair.."

"And thank you Sakura for makeup"

"You're welcome girls'' Both Ino and Sakura said happily. They finally heard the beep outside.

"FINALLY!" Ino stormed down the stairs and saw Kiba, with a black suit, gold tie, black button down shirt, and golden vest. He watched as his girlfriend came down stairs with a no strap golden mermaid dress, her hair was out in waves.

"You look…beautiful…" Kiba said with admiration in his eyes. She couldn't help but blush.

"R-Really?...T-thank you… Ahh you took long let's go!" She tried to hide her embarrassment with anger. He laughed at her and went out the door with her.

"Hey Women you her-" Shikamaru was cut off when he saw Temari come down the stairs with a Dark blue, thin strap dress, with diamonds in the front, and an opening , that showed how perfectly tone her back was. Her hair was out and wavy to give it a little messy look.

"Wow you look…"

"Yea yea, Come on!" She grabbed Shikamaru who was wearing a dark blue button down, with a black rest and black tie. They walked out the door, and Sasuke came in.

"Sasuke I'm ready!" Sakura came down the stairs with a Dark green, sleeveless dress. It had a sweet heart on the chest, and had diamonds on the back to form a corset. Her hair was straightened, with a pin to get hair out of her face. Sasuke looked at her.

"You look amazing Sakura."

"Thank You Sasuke, You look good yourself" She kissed his cheek and smiled. He had a dark green shirt, a black vest and black tie. He held her hand and kissed it. "You are truly beautiful." She blushed and walked out with him.

Neji walked in. "Hey Tenten you ready?"

"Yea I am Neji, I was thirsty, So I got water" She walked up to him with a red dress, with slits on both sides, and a V-neck. Her hair was out, and straightened. Neji looked at her with disbelief. She hardly had her hair down and never really showed off her body, the dress hugged her in the right spots.

"Wow…" He stared at her, "I-I mean you look amazing..Are you ready?"

"Yes I am, and you look great" She smiled. He had on a black button down shirt, with a red vest, and red tie. His hair was in a ponytail.

As they left Naruto walked into the house. "Naruto, you there?"

"Yea you ready?"

"Yes.." She walked out the room with a silver dress, both straps thin, yet covered with silver that shined so brightly. There was a slit that meet the middle of her thigh and had diamonds that ran up to her mid waist from that slit, her hair was curled at the ends, her bangs hit her face. Naruto looked at her speech less.

"You look…wow…I…" She giggled at his fail attempt to make any words up.

"You look good as well" She kissed him. He had on a silver shirt, with a black tie and vest. He couldn't stop staring at her.

"YOU GUYS READY!" Yelled Ino from the Limo.

"Yes yes!" They went to the Limo and everyone was at last on their way.

They finally reached their destination. It was beautiful, a prom that had the outlook of the woods at sunset. They went inside prom and it was beautiful, lights going off to the beat of the music, a bar, and lots of food, which made Kiba happy. They felt so happy, their last night to party as High school students. They danced a long time, ate, chat, that was the night that, even if someone was your enemy, it didn't matter, it was the night to put all bull shit behind you. It had hit 11:30, and people needed a break. Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand.

"Let's get some fresh air; it's getting hot in here"

"Agree" She walked out of the hall with Naruto, to the outside, all that could be heard was the crickets, and all that was seen was the beautiful lights they put outside, as well as the moon, it was truly a beautiful night. Naruto put his arms around Hinata.

"I love you"

She smiled and looked up at the man she loved. "I love you too, more than anything in the world Naruto…"

"I feel like nothing can go wrong tonight.."

"Nothing can go wrong as long as I'm next to you." She looked in his light blue eyes. "Naruto…"

"Hinata…."

From a distance they heard clapping. They were shocked and turned to see what it was. Their eyes grew wide.

"What adorable words from one brat to the other. It makes me sick!" Said a young man with blonde hair.

"I think we should let them, have this little moment, to reminisce about their relationship, I mean they don't have much time left."

"Hinata stand behind me!" Yelled Naruto as he put Hinata behind his back. Her eyes were wide with terror.

"Oh, you shouldn't hide her from us, we already seen all of it and I mean all of it…" Deidara grinned, that took Naruto off the edge, and he jumped at him.

"Why you!" he punched Deidara in the face.

"Ahh you little brat!" He grabbed Naruto and threw him to the floor.

"Naruto!" Hinata screamed, tears ran down her face.

"Sasori! I'll hold him! Do something!"

"With pleasure" Sasori went up to Deidara who was holding Naruto and started punching him repeatedly in the stomach, to the point he started throwing up blood.

"Stop it!"

"We would have stopped before but you see, he has pissed us off too many times, INCLUDING YOU! ONCE WE KILL HIM OFF WE WILL GET YOU!"

"STO-" she was cut off when she heard Naruto's voice.

"You really think I'm going to let these fools hurt me! Come on give me some credit." In a blink of an eye, Naruto bit Deidara's hand and kicked Sasori off of him. "Don't you dare hurt my girl anymore!"

"Think you're big and bad, well prove it!" Said Deidara, he took out a switch blade. "Take care of Hinata Sasori!"

"Don't-"

"Naruto, I can take care of myself!" She yelled. "I'm not the same pathetic girl I use to be!" Sasori came at her and he went to punch her but she ducked and kicked him in the crouch causing him to fall to the ground, she went to go help Naruto but he grabbed her leg.

"Don't think you're getting away that fast!" he dragged her to him, and she used her other leg kick him in the face, her heel went right in his eye. "FUCK!'' He yelled. As she got up her dress ripped, but she didn't care, all she cared about was helping Naruto. Deidara kept aiming the blade at him, he had already cut Naruto's cheek and grazed his side. She didn't want anything worse to happen. Naruto punched Deidara in the stomach causing him to lose balance, and if that wasn't worse enough for Deidara, Hinata jumped on top of him, causing him to not only fall, but drop the blade, Hinata grabbed the blade and went back to back with Naruto.

"Are you okay Hinata?"

"I'll be alright, how are you?"

"I'm alright, let's get rid of them once for all!"

Deidara went for Hinata this time, with a brand new blade in his hand, he ran to her and aimmed for her right in the gut. "HINATA!" Naruto screamed, but that was the best distraction, Sasori came up and attempted to punch Naruto in the gut, but Naruto ran in front of Hinata, as Deidara came to her, and took the stab that was aimed for Hinata. Her eyes grew wide as she saw blood come out from Naruto's side as Deidara stabbed the knife into him. "NARUTO!"

At Prom

"Hey have you seen Hinata and Naruto?" Asked Tenten.

"No have yo-" Sakura was cut off when she heard a scream outside.

"You hear that!?" Temari said.

"I-it can't be.." Sasuke said; they ran outside to see, Naruto jump in front of Hinata and take a stab to the side. Their eyes grew wide as they heard Hinata scream his name loudly.

Naruto smirked. "I told you, you aren't hurting her anymore!" He grabbed the blade from Hinata's hand, he put one hand on his side and one hand on the blade. Deidara jumped back. "Sasuke take Hinata, I don't want her to see this."

"okay…Kiba take on Sasori!"

"right on it!" Kiba ran to Sasori and punched him straight in the jaw.

"Kiba!"

"Sasuke!"

Without a thought, Neji grabbed Hinata and Sasuke went in to help Naruto, as Shikamaru went in to help Kiba.

"Naruto! Naruto!" She watched as Naruto got sliced on his face, his clothes being filled with blood, Naruto jabbed Deidara on the face, arm, but he wouldn't stop. "I CANT DO THIS I NEED TO HELP!"

"Hinata please, you can't go out there! Temari hold Sakura and Ino down!"

"I need to do something! They are getting hurt!" Yelled Sakura.

"They will be fine, they can do it, you'll get in the way!" Temari didn't want to sound harsh but she had to stop them. Hinata watched as Naruto and Deidara went at each other at full force, until the unthinkable happened. Deidara pulled out a gun.

"I had about enough with these brats!" Sasori was stuck in the hold of Shikamaru as Kiba punched the living shit out of him. Deidara aimed the gun at Kiba's leg, forcing him to fall to the ground, he yelled in pain.

"KIBA!' Ino cried out. Tears wouldn't stop streaming down her face.

Deidara pointed the gun at Sasuke. Sasuke went to force the gun out of his hand, causing him to get shot in the arm, he collapsed on the floor. "SASUKE!

Shiakamru got elbowed in the jaw by Sasori. Sasori took out a gun and pointed it straight to Shikamaru's head. Temari's eyes grew wide and she tackled Sasori to the ground, causing the gun to shoot straight to her arm. She yelled in pain. The gun fell to the floor and she picked it up and threw it to Shikamaru.

"Temari!" He yelled. He picked her up and placed her behind him as he pointed the gun to Sasori. "You alright?"

"Yea it just hurts a lot…"

"When this is over we will head to the hospital." He said to her, she nodded in response.

Deidara had the gun pointed to Naruto. "I had enough of your shit!" He pointed the gun to his stomach and shot without hesitation. Hinata yelled and got out of Neji's grasp.

"HINATA!" Neji yelled.

She watched as he fell to the ground. She punched Deidara with full force in the face just as he turned and shot randomly at Hinata, it grazed her side, as she punched him the gun fell to the floor and she picked it up. She pointed it at Deidara.

"ENOUGH!"

"H-Hinata…"Naruto said while holding his side."S-stop" He saw the light from her eyes disappear. He knows what happens to people when they get like this, he didn't want her to do something she would regret. She kicked the gun back and aimed at Deidara. Hinata was losing herself, The anger was taking over. The only thing that was on her mind, was revenge.

"Hmm Where should I hurt you, let's see; all the places you hurt me. How about the legs No that's not good enough. What about the, thigh, or maybe there" She pointed the gun to his crotch. "Since I never had a say on where you hurt me! Why should I be asking?!" She screamed as tears fell from her eyes; she was shaking from anger and fear. "How about the arms, wrist, maybe the HEAD! THAT'S A GOOD ONE I CANT EVEN SLEEP RIGHT BECAUSE OF YOU!" She grinned, as she watched the fear come over his eyes. "Or maybe the heart since you been tearing mine apart" She had totally lost it, until she heard a voice behind her.

"Hinata stop it! Hinata!" Naruto got up and managed to grab Hinata's shoulder. She looked back and saw him. Her voice softened.

"Why should I, he hurt me. WHY SHOULD I!?" She yelled.

"He isn't worth it" She looked Deidara on the floor. She heard voices and foot steps behind her. The cops had finally come. They had Temari, Shikamaru, and Kiba in intense care in the medical van.

"Hinata drop the gun.." Naruto said, he held on to her. "Please" She looked at Deidara one last time, her gripp got tight at first, but then she dropped the gun, finally coming back to reality. She looked at Naruto. She turned, as he fell to the ground and she held him.
"Naruto! Naruto stay with me! Please!" She yelled, "I can't be without you!" She cried as she held him. The cops came to her and put a blanket over her. She was hurt as well as he was. They were both put into the medical van. Naruto, thankfully wasn't hit or stabbed in any vital organ, but they had to stop the bleeding. They told her she had to leave the van as they tried to close up the wound real quick. "No I have to stay-"

"Hinata, I'll be okay." She looked at Naruto, he touched her face lightly, tears rolled down her cheeks and onto his face. "Just wait for me, and don't do anything crazy…" he smirked at her and his eyes closed.

They escorted her out the van; she looked at Deidara and Sasori as they were in handcuffs and on the ground. She walked up to them. "You know, you ruined this…this beautiful night…this beautiful year…that should of been perfect. My last year of high school…" She looked at them…"but I thank you…"

They both stared at her in confusion. "There must be something fucked up in that brain of yours." Said Deidara.

"Maybe…I don't know How I can even stand talking to you right now…But I thank you. I didn't have the normal Senior year that every girl dreams of…Oh no..But You did make me stronger…able to face difficulties and take on lots of pain. Most importantly, " she laughed softly. "You showed me how strong my love is" She smiled.

"You are one crazy bitch you know that" She smirked then kicked dirt in both their faces. They both screamed.

"I wish I could of done things ten times worse than what you did to me. But that would make me go down to your level. You'll get yours one day; please stay out of my life" She walked away and sat on a rock. Neji came up to her. He didn't say a word, he just hugged her. She started crying. Tenten came up to them and stroked Hinata's back.

Temari was next to Shikamaru, they leaned on a tree looking at the night sky. "You know, you really are troublesome. But that's what just saved my ass. You're crazy, but I love you."

She smirked. " I think that's the most romantic thing you ever said to me." She sighed. "You know what sucks?"

"What? Our prom night being ruined?"

"No I needed a good punch to let off some steam, but it's just, the one time I decide to wear a damn dress, it gets ruined!" he laughed at her annoyance.

"You still look beautiful to me." Shikamaru said while smirking. She huffed,

"You're such a loser you know that" She said while blushing.

"How's your arm?"

"Killing me, but its fine…"

Kiba was next to Ino. "Hey you okay Ino?"

"Don't ask me if I'm okay! Are you okay?! You stupid stupid!" She started hitting his chest but then she stopped and started crying in his chest. He put his arm around her. "Don't ever scare me like that again. I can't lose you" She said to him.

"You won't lose me…ever…." He said to her while putting his face in her hair. "I'm sorry…" he said lightly.

Neji had his arm around Hinata, as did Tenten. She looked up at them. "Who called the cops?" She asked confused. Tenten pointed a thumb to herself.

"Why you think I wasn't here?" She said with a small smile. "Neji didn't want me here, and someone had to do it." Hinata looked at the ground as tears fell from her face.

"Thank you both."

They stood there in silence. Sakura ran up to Sasuke. "S-sasuke…" She said as she looked at him. He didn't say anything but hug her tightly.

"I'm sorry for worrying you…" Was all he said to make the tears fall from Sakura's eyes. The time went by and The medical staff came out the truck to get Hinata.

"He is ready to see you."

Without hesitation, she ran into the truck to see Naruto. She saw he was breathing, but his eyes were closed. "Naruto this is all my fault. I'm so sorry." She said to him. She held his hand tightly. He didn't respond. She held his hand as she cried to herself. She was startled as he squeezed her hand gently. She wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at his face. "N-Naruto?"

"You are one hell of a crazy girl"

"Naruto" She smiled as she looked down at him. It wasn't a perfect ending to prom, but it was one hell of an ending for senior year.

Time went by, everyone started to heal, not just physically, but mentally, Sasori and Deidara were in prison. They had found Hiashi and threw him in jail. Hanabi was living at home with her grandmother.

At the Hyuga House

"Hanabi, you have mail"

"Coming" Hanabi said as she went downstairs.

"Here you go" The older woman handed her an envelope"

"Thanks grandma, are we going to eat before we go?"

"Yeah, go wash up. Hinata's graduation will be starting soon" Hanabi smiled and went up to her room. She sat on the bed and opened the mail. It was a letter. She unfolded it. Her eyes went wide as she began to read it.

"Mom…"

Later that day

"Grandma, you can't tell Hinata, Not yet anyway. I wrote her back, lets see what she says first"

"Okay, do you feel okay hiding this from her?"

"Do I have a choice?" Hanabi and her grandmother got seated and waited for the ceremony to begin. Each name was called one by one. Each of the students were handed their diplomas. It was time for Hinata to say the closing speech. Little did she realize, a woman entered through the back. The woman was wearing a navy blue dress and wore a black summer hat. Her pale eyes looked at the girl on stage. She smiled softly.

"Hinata.."

"Class of 2012, you know, everyone says senior year will be the best of year of your life. But I say no its not. It's the year where you learn the most about yourself .Where you figure out, your weakness, your strengths, you learn who is it that you love and who is worth fighting for. My senior year, well let me not get started, but , it taught me a lot, and I found friends that will might as well be family. This year was full of surprises, but it helped me grow, and prepare for the new world, I'm glad to be a part of class 2012!"

The crowd cheered and threw their caps to the ceiling; Cheering and laughter were heard throughout the room. Everyone hugged each other, cried together, shit, even kissed each other. They walked out the graduation hall. They all meet up outside.

"Hinata!" Yelled Tenten with Neji on her arm.

"Tenten" Yelled Sakura and Ino with Sasuke and Kiba.

"Guys." Said Shikamaru and Temari.

"I guess this is it. We probably won't be able to see each other as much."

"Heh it's not good bye, just to high school life, it's a new chapter to our lives, beside, we will all be close. It's not like we are leaving to another country or anything" Laughed Naruto.

"That's true, but it won't be the same as going to classes and having you there" Said Ino with a tear in her eye.

"Maybe you'll focus more" Said Sakura.

"haha, but guys…this year…was pretty …interesting."

"It sure was, I mean it was our last chance to do what we wanted."

"I feel pretty good, I got stabbed for the first time…pretty good year" Naruto said, Sasuke and the guys laughed.

"I think we all found someone we want to stick with…" Tenten said happily as she held Neji's arm.

"It was our last chance, to say words we would of never said 4 years ago.."

"Got that right and now, it's a chance to open new doors, and create a new beginning.."

"It's been a good year…only because I was with all of you.." Said Temari.

"Thank you for always being here. You guys are amazing friends, and lets all stay that way, no matter what, agree?' Said Hinata happily.

"Agree!" they all said!

"Class of 2012! Here is to a new beginning!" They raised their hands in the air and cheered. It was beginning of a new chapter…
