The One

Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

"Hinata!" I tried hiding under my covers but Hanabi found me. She pulled the covers away from my head and plopped herself down. "Neji told daddy everything, so of course I heard too." Heard, yeah right, more like eavesdropped. I sighed falling back in my bed, trying to ignore her. "Fine! Ignore me all you want, but you're going to be late for school again." Shit! I sprung out of bed and put on my school uniform. It was the most disgusting color of gray anyone could find, and the skirt was way too short. Well, for my taste anyway.


I wasn't really paying attention at all today. I kept worrying about Ayame. Where was she? Was she okay?

"Hinata Hyuuga!"

"Huh?" I looked up at the teacher. She was glaring at me. Is it just me or has everyone been glaring at me lately?

"What is the square root of negative 16?"

"Umm …" I don't know! I suck at math!

"4i, Hyuuga," a voice whispered to me.

"4i?" I looked up at the teacher waiting for her response.

"Correct," she smiled and turned back to the blackboard. A sigh escaped my lips and I looked at the person who helped me. Sasuke Uchiha. Could he really be related to that police captain? But I can't just ask him ... that's rude.

"Thank you Uchiha-san," I whispered. The pen on his hand stopped moving and he looked up at me.

"Hn." he turned back to his doodle shortly after that. I swear is that all men do? Grunt and eat?!


The sakura petals fell around me as I ate my lunch. Since Neji graduated already I was alone. In class I didn't really mind, but being alone during lunch was just terrible. Finishing the rice ball I packed myself for lunch I looked at the other students. OH MY GOSH! There he was! The love of my life, Naruto Uzamaki. His beautiful sparkling blue eyes were as deep as the ocean, and his blonde hair was as bright as the blazing sun. I want to just run over there and hug him right now. But sadly I can't. His wonderful blue eyes only looked at Sakura. And Sakura only has eyes for Uchiha-san. Love sucks, but if I was in Sakura's shoes I would love Naruto like no one else could. I am definitely not Sakura. She's normal and pretty, while I'm the freak who can see dead people. My gaze shifted from Naruto to Sakura and then to Uchiha-san. Miraculously enough he was looking directly back at me.

"My little Sasuke is handsome, ne?" I looked over to my left and the woman who stood behind the police captain before was sitting next to me.

"Your little Sasuke?"

"Hai, but you do like him, ne?"

"I … yes, but not in a romantic way."

"Oh my, that is dreadful. I really do hope your feelings change. See you later dear." Not only did she disappear, she also said goodbye. Ghosts usually never did that. They just disappear. Whoever she is, she must have a really good reason to not have passed on yet.


"Sasuke!" the pink haired girl called out to the brooding genius. He was sitting underneath a tree eating his lunch. "Sakura!" Naruto said, trying to get her attention. Three seconds later Naruto had a bump on his head and Sakura was seething.

"Idiots." Sasuke glared at the two loudmouths.

"Aww, sorry Sasuke." Sakura knelt down next to him and pulled up her skirt a little to show off more of her legs. 'Slut,' Sasuke thought to himself.

"Sakura!"

"Shut up Naruto!" Trying to ignore their stupidity, Sasuke focused his attention elsewhere. Across the school grounds he saw Hinata Hyuuga sitting underneath another sakura tree. She sat there alone eating her lunch. She acted like nothing around her seemed to matter. They finished their lunches at the same time and he continued to watch her. She stared at Naruto and then at Sakura. Then finally she looked at him. Their eyes locked and neither of them tried to look away. Suddenly her pale eyes widened and Sasuke saw her look to her left and start talking. There was nothing beside her. Who the hell was she talking too?
