Hinata walked down a shaded path , it was about 6 in the morning and it was already too hot. She kept walking till the path opened up into a circular clearing where she found her two teammates Kiba and Shino. She had known Kiba since she was younger but Shino she wasn't all too familar with.
"Hey Hinata-chan ."
"Good morning , Kiba-Kun."
Hinata sat under a tree after about 10 minutes of standing. She sighed to herself just yesterday she was assigned to her new teacher. The thoughts rushed in but she tried desperately to rush them back out but failed. Her father basically told her teacher he didn't care if Hinata was killed while perfoming her ninja duties.
"STUPID KURENAI-SENSEI SHE'S LATE !"
Hinata jumped slightly , she had been lost in thought as frustration grew among the group. Kiba had been mouthing off about their new teacher and Akamaru had joined in giving Shino a headache , Hinata too but she kept it to herself.
"You better shut that dumb dog up."
"Make me , bug boy !"
"At least i don't smell like dog."
" I do not ! Take it back."
Hinata shook her head as they continued to fight then while the two were still fighting Kurenai-sensei appeared behind them. Hinata jumped up.
"ummm ... go.. good morning Kurenai-Sensei."
The two boys stopped fighting. Shino walked and stood beside Hinata without looking back while Kiba muttered what and turned around to see if she was really late. Hinata couldn't help but notice how she kept her eyes glued on her. She looked down at the ground but could still feel eyes beating down on her.
"I'm sorry Hinata-chan but your father has requested you come home immediately, but don't worry we won't do our first mission without you. Today i think we'll just train and get to know each other."
Hinata felt her stomach drop. What did she do know ? She thought to herself. She did all the chores and didn't do anything that she could think of that would make him do this unless ... she kind of smiled to herself.
Maybe he really did care about her maybe he was scared she would get hurt or something.
She then thought about it , really thought about it . He wouldn't just out of nowhere care for her after all the years of abuse taken from him there was no way. Hinata had been standing there for some time before Kurenai broke the silence.
"Hinata-chan ? Are you okay ?"
Hinata blinked and looked back at her sensei.
"Oh yes, I'm fine. Goodbye."
She then slowly walked down the path again. A lump started to form in her throat. She didn't want to go back. She continued to think about it while walking down the streets of Konoha. Then she heard a familar voice coming from a small ramen shop , she had never really noticed it before.
"Thanks for the food."
Hinata then blushed and closed her eyes while continuing to walk as fast as she could past the shop but then Naruto came running out hyper as ever still turned around and waving to the owner of the shop. Hinata blushed as she saw him running closer and closer to her. She blushed as he bumped into her causing them both to collide and trip over each other. Naruto sat up and looked over at the shy , timid , girl he really didn't know that well.
"Oh sorry about that ."
He stood up offering a hand to lift her up. She blushed and gently pulled on his hand as he lifted her.
"Really sorry about that Hinata-chan. I'm kind of in a hurry."
She continued blushing and looked down at the ground.
"It ... It's okay , Naruto-kun."
"Well i got to go , see you later."
Hinata watched him run away , she wondered if he still remembered about when they were little. Not that it was anything special but they acted sort of like friends at least for a day or so. She started to look back on her childhood. The thoughts eased her mind , but then she saw the very large Hyuga compound in front of her.
" I guess i have to face him sooner or later."
She sighed as she stepped on the deck. She opened the door while sliding off her shoes , she then entered as quiet as possible. She was about to go towards her father's room but he was sitting on a chair in the kitchen and called for her.
"Yes father ?" She said as she entered the kitchen.
"We need to have a talk."
Okay another chapter completed , not much to say except for sorry if it's kind of short. Next chapter will be up soon.
