Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, Kishimoto does. In fact, the only thing I own is the plot, or at least some of it, most of this chapter belongs to my co-writer (AKA Heartless-Psycho).
1st period Business, there were only a handful of kids that would actually be running a business in that class; I could name them from the back of my hand.
Me, Neji, Ino and Sasuke.
Me, obvious, I'm the heiress of Hyuga Corp. Neji was the prodigy of Hyuga Corp. Ino's parents ran a flower shop downtown that she's going to take over when she's of age. Sasuke, he wasn't the heir or the prodigy of Uchiha Corp. but he still came to this class anyways.
M-R.-Y-A-M-A-T-O was written on the board for the students to see. When the teacher came he stood in the front of the room, taking in the student set out in front of him.
"Hello, class. I am Mr. Yamato, that is my name. Yes, I do have a girlfriend and, yes, she is hot." he said staring at some kid by the door, who turned a bright shade of red then slumped in her seat.
After the laughter subsided he continued, "Since today is the first day of the school year I would like each student to come to the front and introduce themselves, one thing they did this summer and why you're taking business this semester." he instructed.
I raised my hand, time for a rewind because I knew that there no ways this guy could have a…
"Do you really have a girlfriend?" I asked dropping my hand again.
He frown a bit, "No."
"Then why did you say you did?"
He suddenly grinned wider, "Because I know all you girls are just begging to date me."
The girl by the door blush once again when the whole class was so silent they could hear Couch Gai yelling at his gym class about youth from across the school and outside.
I raised an eyebrow at him, making sure to look at him as if I was checking him out, "Are you delusional?"
It was silent for another moment. I felt the shocked eyes on me, Neji, and some students gossiping about someone getting in trouble with the first 5 minutes of class on the first day.
Then Yamato just doubled over, laughing and gasping for air. The students turned their eyes from me to him, back to me, then back to him.
"What… *huff*… is your… name?" he managed to get out between gasps for breath.
"Hinata." I answered leaning back slightly from him.
"You are officially… my new favorite." he said, calming down a bit.
"Wow," I said, stressing it a little, "Not only are you delusional but you're crazy too."
Yamato straighten, finally able to quit laughing, he looked around the room and asked, "What? Is that… uncommon?"
The class waited, suspending the moment before, "YES IT IS!"
I am happy to report that other then that we haven't gotten off topic and that everything went perfectly fine though out the rest of the class… Sadly, if I did, it would be a lie. I still had to introduce myself.
And that is what lend all eyes on me, in front of a crowd of students who would gossip more about my being here.
"Hello," I started strong, "My names is Hinata Hyuga. I like the color lavender, I am also finding art every enjoyable. For the summer and the last year I went traveling around the world, morally, for international affairs. I am taking Business because… um, well, I-I am t-he eld-eldest da-daughter of H-Haishi Hyuga."
I bet that was a bomb shell. Not the daughter part but the stuttering. I have wicked acting skills, too, if I don't say so myself. Now not only do I think that but from the reaction of the class I think they do, too. But I saw the most reaction in the back corner of the room a desk one seat away from the window, when a bleach blond jerked up and met my eyes.
Ino's widen a bit, I think I did my job for today, at least in this class… but as my eyes travel across I noticed the black/blue hair of the one I came back for. Of course, he was too busy daydreaming out the window to notice me or Ino's dramatic hyper-ventilating.
I smirked at her evilly before taking my seat next to Neji, before he had to get up too.
"I'm Neji Hyuga. Many people know as the Hyuga Prodigy. One thing I did this summer was get nagged at by my youngest cousin. I am Hinata's cousin and just a warning… If any of you try anything stupid with her, I am not going to be the only one beating the crap out of you but I will be the worst."
I giggled slightly at his monolog, this was defiantly not the Neji I left a year ago. Father must have got to him.
Now after that more people went until it got to… I'm sure most of you could guess who…
It was Sasuke's turn.
"I am Sasuke Uchiha. I spent the summer with my brother in Hawaii. I am taking business because I'll be taking my brother's place as head of Uchiha Corp."
Not much of a introduction, but that isn't the point of this paragraph. He was going head of Uchiha Corp. while I was the successor of Hyuga Corp. If we ever combine companies we'd lots of trouble.
Yamato's cell rang in the middle of a shaky Ino's mono. He took the call outside, leaving the class to start talking as soon as the door closed behind him.
A boy came out of no where, in front of my face. For a moment I felt my face get hot.
"Hello, I'm-"
A hand shot out; gripping hair behind the boy's head and forced it forward.
-THUMP!-
The boy had face planted the desk, bounced back up and ended up twitching on the floor.
I looked to the side to find Neji smirking, looking pleased with himself.
"Don't ever do that again." both Neji and I said, but to different people.
Hyuga to Hyuga; Hyuga to twitchier.
I was to absorbed in the argument that was about unfold between me and Neji to notice how much attention we were getting. It was enough to distract the daydreaming Uchiha from his window.
90 minutes of this every other day. "Hell on Earth" would be the saying most people would use. I would too, if there wasn't one already.
Yamato decided to walk back in not far into the argument. To be honest I never thought I'd be happy to see him.

2nd period Band with Iruka.
I'll have you know that I was in choir before, so I only have a year experience in band. If I have any slip ups, its good that you know.
2 of my friends were in band… well, four. Temari was a Flute. Tenten was Trumpet. Shino on Sax, Berry Sax. Kiba was on Percussion. All of them had 2-to-4 years of band. I had just starting Clarinet.
Temari was the first to notice me; almost dropping her Flute case. Tenten notice her tenseness and saw me in the process of check on Temari; she was to drop her case. Kiba's was on that resembled joy instead of shock. Shino looked as unemotional as ever but I knew him well enough to tell he was glad that I was back from his body movements.
Kiba tackled me into a bone crushing hug. Shino, being Shino, hung back, respect my personal space. Which left it up to me; grabbing him collar and forcing him into the bone crusher, too.
Temari and Tenten just stood shocked before jumping into the group hug.
"Where have you been? How have you been?" Tenten asked.
"What happen to you? Did you have fun?" Temari asked.
"You have to tell us everything, Hinata." Kiba demanded.
"…" Shino's silence was something to laugh about in the pressing questions.
I put my finger to my lips to signal that I'd tell them later.
From my observations everything thing seemed to be the same. Temari was still battling Tayuya for the chair. Tenten still threatened the boys next to her she'd kill them if they didn't shut up. Shino was still rocking the Saxophone. Kiba was still Kiba, always beating on something every chance he got.
The band was learning Zoot Suit Riot. Sure, it was more of a Jazz band piece but that's Iruka for you; always wanting his students reaching up and beyond.
And for the most part 2nd period was my favorite class of the day.
(=*-*=)
Knowing my group of friends, Shikamaru, Shino and I would be the only ones in Computer Tech.
3rd period Computer Tech with Kakashi.
Shino wasn't much of a talker, unless it was with me and Kiba. Yet even with us there are certain things he can't talk us about.
As we walk in the classroom the first thing I noticed was Shikamaru flirting with Bleach Blondie Ino Yakamaka.
Shino completely ignore them; choosing a seat farthest from the whispering couple.
"What happen while I was gone?" I asked.
Shino looked at me, not needing to ask what I was talking about, he answered, "It started a month after you left. They took a brake and a teacher died."
Yamato and Baki were both new here this year. Yamato took Business from Tsunade because she was also the Principal. Baki was teaching History which use to be-
"Asuma." I muttered to myself. 'Poor Kurenia.'
Shino nodded, "Shikamaru took up some bad habits after. Temari put up with it for awhile. But the longer time went by she just couldn't stand to see him kill himself."
I glanced at my computer screen; I was the figures of a blushing Ino and a smirking Shikamaru. He looked tired, but that wasn't new. He just looked more tired than he usually does.
"She tried to get him to stop. When he started fighting back, telling her she didn't know what it was like to lose someone. She ended up walking away."
I looked at him, "What did Tenten do?"
"Nothing. She let Kiba and Neji handle the situation."
"Bull…" I stood up and walked over to the newly discovered couple.
"From what I heard you're seeing each other." I said making Ino shrink back.
I had a clue why she was scared on me. Back in Freshmen year Temari, Tenten and I got into this fight… even back than when I fought, I fought dirty.
"Yeah, so?" Shikamaru asked lazily.
A couple more students walked in. Good, more witnesses.
"Ino," I said, in my sweetest voice; though I wanted to beat her just as much as Shikamaru. "Look, you don't seem like the girl to be in Computer Technology so why don't you just go to your cheer practice, wouldn't you? There's something I need to discuss with Shikamaru."
Once she was out of the picture I turned my narrowed gaze on the deer lover.
"Do I ever know you?" he asked.
I didn't answer right away, so he just sat at a desk with his back to me. I followed him, leaning in from behind.
"I'm hurt, Shikamaru Nara. I mean we were friends for a long time. You dated my best friend off and on."
He got the hint, because he jolted when it was said.
Smirking, I continued, "Yet though all those off and on-s you never, never went to someone like Ino… I also heard of that nasty habit of your." I shook my head, glancing into his computer screen meeting his eyes there. "Smoking? Shikamaru, you're 17 years old and you're already smoking. Tsk, let me tell you, Nara. It might not effect Asuma physically right away but it did hurt him in other aspects.
"Do you know that pain Kurenia felt watching her husband destroy his body from the inside out? And I bet you still remember Temari, don't you?"
He jolted even more when her name was said. I placed a hand on his shoulder and leaned in farther.
"I haven't talk to her much today; I still have a lot of catching up to do. A year of event I need to hear about.
"Have you talk to her since? Did you try to talk her about the end of it?
"You're hurting. You so much different then you do on the Offs because you know she'd not stand to see you with roll of toxic in your mouth. You know its over between you two if you keep it up, but you miss her. You miss more then any drug because she was your drug.
"I got news for you, Shikamaru Nara. I'm back and I am bringing Hell with me.
"So if you thinks it hurts now, wait till I do something it."
Over all, I like how the first 30 minutes of class went. After those 30 minutes it just meant that it was time fore lunch. In other words it was time get to the bottom of things.
Author Notes:
1) I like the Shikamaru and Hinata scene. It just that I had to put something in there about InoShikaTema. I am more of a ShikaTema fan but I decided to try to make to read this happy by adding ShikaIno, too.
2) I still need some couples suggested, because I plan to have Hinata get Temari with someone to get Shikamaru on the green side.
3) I also plan on having Kurenia ending up with Baki. I don't know, I just like that couple. I guess its because I've been reading Dear Kazekage. I love that story. But I also like Shinobi of Honor. So I might put some GaaHinaSasu in this as well.
4) Thank you for reading my story, if anyone is. Thanks and please continue to read. I don't give a crap if you review or not as long as you enjoy this story.
