Wow... I'm really lazy. I think its been half a year since I've posted anything... Big thanks to everyone who reviewed, especially yinyangmatrix! I never thought my stories were that good personally so knowing that some one likes them is really encouraging. Arigatou!

Disclaimer: If I were rich I'd have my own computer... and I don't. So I guess I don't own

Naruto.

(For anyone who forgot, everything inside of the parenthesis is what they're doing, the rest is all

their writing.)

Sometimes, compared to Saika, Yuka felt really small and ugly, even though she was a princess.

She tried to tell herself it didn't really matter, because her true love would love her, even if she

became the ugliest girl in the whole kingdom. But that didn't really work out, she still felt bad. It

even felt like her family hated her sometimes. For example, her step brother Ryo, always acted

differently when she was around and the King never had the time for his own daughter.

Most days she spent with two of the royal nights, Uta who was a young and powerful

female knight, and Kaoru, who was actually a knight in training.

( Hinata quickly explained that Uta was supposed to Kurenai sensei and that Kaoru was meant to

be Shino. Kiba nodded and let Hinata continue quietly.)

Princess Yuka often looked up to Uta as a mother or big sister, and often went to her for

help to her problems. Kaoru was the quiet boy that was Uta's apprentice, and most people found

him kind of creepy. ("K-kiba-kun do you w-want a turn now?" asked Hinata offering the pencil

and paper to him. "I-I'm kind of out of ideas now..."

"Alright.")

And of course she always took her little dog with her to see them. Most days they were to

busy training to talk much but Yuka felt that anything was better than sitting at the castle with

nothing to do but look out the window of her room and wish for her love. ("I still hate Naruto..."

Kiba muttered softly so Hinata couldn't hear as he wrote the sentence.)

When Uta and Kaoru had a day off Yuka would talk with them–not that Kaoru talked

much. On one of those days she decided to ask them about Noburu, though she hated talking

about her own problems. She always felt like she was bringing other people down, and she

blushed when she thought about the boy so she didn't really like talking about him, afraid that

she would say something to embarrass herself. She had spent many nights lying in bed staring up

at the ceiling and thinking about it, until she finally came to her conclusion.

("Okay Hinata, you take over. My hands getting tired, besides I don't like doing stuff like

talking about crushes," said Kiba. "It's more of a girl thing."

"O-okay..." responded Hinata. Then she thought, 'Wow, he can talk forever but he gets

tired of writing after five minutes...'

The white eyed girl quickly read over Kiba's writing, thought for a minute, and put the pencil to

the paper.)

"Um... Uta can I ask you a question?" Yuka asked, starting to blush already.

"Of course."

"Well there's this boy I really like and..." she took a deep breath and continued, not sure

what to say now that she actually had to say it aloud. "Well, you see, I um... I'm not sure if he

likes me back and... well I really want to be with him but–"

"It's okay, I know how that feels," said Uta. "I was nervous about the first boy I like too."

Kaoru continued to remain death silent, as he always was, and didn't seem to care about

what the two girls were talking about at all, which was good because it made Yuka feel slightly

less nervous. Her puppy licked her hand and wagged her tail happily, which was also comforting.

"You're probably too scared to ask himself out yourself right?" continued Uta.

Yuka nodded sadly.

"Have you ever tried in a note?" asked Uta.

"Uh... well I'm kinda embarrassed about signing my own name... I'm always scared that,

well, maybe he thinks I'm ugly and that he'd only laugh at me..."

"You don't have to sign your name, just write 'Your Secret Admirer' and keep sending

him cute notes. After awhile he won't be able to get you off of his mind, he'll think about you

every day, wondering who you are, and why you won't tell your name to him. Then when you

feel confident, arrange a meeting place so he can finally see who you are," suggested Uta.

Yuka smiled, Uta always had such good ideas! "Thanks Uta! I think I'll try that!"

Feeling more confident after, their talk, Yuka ran home excitedly to think of the perfect

love note, with her yapping puppy close behind. Everything would have been all right, if not for

a jealous Saika who had been sitting in the bushes...

(Hinata was so absorbed in writing that she hadn't noticed Kiba leaning over her shoulder

reading, until she happened to turn her head a little. Their lips touched faintly, but not for long,

because Hinata gave a little yelp and fell backwards, her face many shades of deep red. Kiba

smirked a little, which made Hinata's impossibly red face turn even more impossibly red. "Come

on, it wasn't that bad!" complained Kiba. "There are things a lot worse than that! That wasn't

even an actual kiss!" But in his mind he thought Hinata looked really cute like that. Then he

realized what time it must be. "Hey Hinata, I got to go, promised my mom I'd be home before

dark... anyway do you think I could take our story with me?"

"Um..." She didn't really want to let him take it, because she was afraid it might get

ruined at his house. But she didn't want to let him know what she thought, because she knew it

would sound mean, so she just told him that she still had an idea. It wasn't really a lie, because

she did have a good idea of what to do next, but she still felt kind of bad about it, even though

Kiba didn't seem to be let down in the least. She followed Kiba to the door and waved good bye

to him as he left. Then she turned around and found she was face to face with Neji, who was

smirking slightly. "So you like Kiba now, huh?" he asked, and Hinata felt like he might be trying

to tease her. Poor Hinata wasn't sure what to say. "Hey I'm not going to tell anyone, I just never

thought you'd fall for Kiba is all," said Neji before he left. Hinata sighed, happy that her cousin

was acting nicely to her now.)

Okay end of chapter three. I have most of chapter four planned out but depending

on how lazy I am it'll either be out in about an hour or another half a year... um, let's hope

its not half year. Review and you shall get... pie. Unless you'd rather a cookie again.

Also I can't seem to get my chapters to stay in paragraph form like I originally write them... I'm note sure if it's because I look them over in the site's editor but if anyone can help me out then please tell me! Arigatou!
