~Chapter 2~
The rest of the drive to school was silent.
Within the next few minutes Kyuubi pulled up in front of the academy, putting the car in park and turing the car off. Kyuubi leaned over and place a kiss on Naruto's forehead making the blonde blink and look at him in confusion and surprise.
The red head smiled and ran a hand through the tangle mess of spiky blonde hair. "Remember what I said. Call me if the bullying gets to much for you, I'll come and get you. " He said.
Naruto smiled at him and shook his head, reaching up and pulling Kyuubi's hand away from his hair. "Okay Kyuubi-nee. "Naruto said before he let go of the red heads arm to take off his seat belt. Once the seat belt was off Naruto opened the car door and closed it, leaning over to stare at Kyuubi through the window.
"I'll see you after school okay?" Naruto asked making the red head nod with a small smile. Naruto gave a smile of his own before he stood up straight and walked towards the school hearing Kyuubi start the car and then drive away.
Naruto sighed. Another day in hell. He thought to himself as he walked through the gates, tensing when he saw the popular posse. Sasuke, Sakura, Ino, Karin, Kiba, Neji,Tenten and Suigetsu. He hated every single one of them...well except for Sasuke of course, but Sasuke can be threatening when he wants too.
Without sparing another glance in their direction Naruto quickened his walking pace and soon reached the door of the academy. Grabbing the bar that was on the door, Naruto pulled the door open and walked in.
Naruto sighed, today was Monday meaning that Naruto had mathematics with Asuma-Sensei. It wouldn't be that bad of a class if he didn't have Sakura, Ino and Kiba in there with him. A whole day with those three, Kami really must hate him if he puts Naruto through this.
Walking down the main hallway, Naruto ignored all the rude comments that were thrown at him by the students that he passed. The students were allowed to wonder around freely until two minutes before the bell, but the bell wouldn't ring until the next fifteen to twenty minutes.
Walking around the corner Naruto collided with a smaller more girly frame. The said person fell down with a grunt and they looked up at him with a blank look. And that person was Hinata Hyuuga his best friend. Apologizing for knocking her over, Naruto pulled her up to her feet which made her say a small thank you in reply.
"Hey Hinata, how are you today?" The blonde asked curiously making the dark haired girl sigh .
"Terrible, I got a call from father and he wants me to come to the family dinner tonight. He told me that its a very important family dinner. But the one thing I don't understand is that if its such an import a matter then why is Neji inviting his snobby friends?" She asked crossing her arms over her rather large chest.
"Simple, Neji is a nobody without his snot nose rich friends. " Naruto stated with a uncaring shrug as they both walked down the hallway together, in a much slowly walking pace.
"Yeah I guess your right...so I was wondering...if you aren't busy tonight maybe you could come with me? I know that you hate Neji and everyone else so do I, but I'll feel more comfortable of your there with me. " Hinata said in a small voice as she looked down.
It was something that she always did when she was nervous about something. Naruto grinned and wrapped an arm around Hinata's shoulders.
"Of course Hina-chan, I'll gladly accompany you to your family dinner thing! " Naruto said making the purple head blush softly.
"Thank you Naruto-kun, you really are my best friend." She said.
"Yeah and you better not forget it either!"Naruto said smiling brightly making her giggle. A few students who went pass made kissy faces at them or they just flat out gave them looks of disgust. But of course they were use to it so it didn't bother them.
"Nee Naruto-Kun, can I ask you a question?" Hinata suddenly ask making the blonde look at her with a curious glance.
Sensing that she had his attention she continued without an answer. "Why do you like Sasuke-san? I mean I know that you two are friends and all, but why him out of all people?" She asked.
Naruto blushed softly as he looked down, a small smile appearing on his face. "Well you see, Sasuke was my very first friend. I met him at the park one day when we were kids. He was sitting all alone on the swing set, so I figured that I might as well at least try to make friends with him. At first he didn't really talk to me, I pretty much did all the talking for a while until he finally interrupted by saying his name. He called me annoying and I called him a meanie in reply...and that's pretty much how everything started out between us."
Hinata didn't say anything as she let the words sink in before she slowly nodded. "O-Okay." She said softly.
Naruto's attention immediately went to her with a frown on his face. "Whats wrong Hina-Chan? Did I hurt your feelings?" He asked making her shake her head violently.
She looked up at him and smiled sweetly. "I still like you Naruto-Kun, I really do. I have to admit that it hurt me slightly when you talk about him...but I accept the fact that you'll never like me the way I like you." She said.
Naruto bit his lower lip and stopped walking causing her to stop as well. Naruto grabbed her by her shoulders suddenly and then pulled her into a tight hug making her squeak out in surprise.
"I'm sorry that I hurt you, I really am. I just don't feel the same way about you because I love you like a sister you know? If we were to date then it would feel as if I was dating a sibling you know what I mean?" Naruto asked.
Hinata laughed softly and hugged him back slightly. "Yeah I know, and its okay Naruto. I had a feeling that you wouldn't feel the same." She said.
Naruto pulled back holding her at arms length as he smiled at her. "Don't worry Hina-chan you'll find someone who loves you for you, I'm just not one." He said making Hinata sigh softly and nod.
"I know Naruto-kun." She said as she pulled away. They both started to walk again, but not even a few steps later Hinata stopped and turned to Naruto with a determined look in her pale eyes.
"Within the next year or so if you and Sasuke haven't gotten together by then, I will do anything what it takes to win over your heart!" Hinata said making the blonde stare at her dumbly.
"Hina-chan?"
Hinata only smiled in reply. "Call me desperate or whatever, but I won't give up on you this easily Naruto-kun, if I can't have you right now then I'll wait for all my life if I have to. I don't want to be with anyone else except you, your my first friend and I have deep feelings for you. I know that you don't feel the same way about me, but like I said I'll wait." She said.
A small smile appeared on his lips, but before he could reply Sakura and Ino appeared by both of their sides.
"Aw how sweet that's what I called true love right there." Sakura said.
Hinata glared at her. "At least I'm not some slut so throws herself at a guy who admitted he is gay. Unlike you Sakura I have self respect. Sasuke has rejected you over and over again, and yet you still chase after him. Your the desperate one." Hinata spat making Sakura glare at her.
"Please, I know that Sasuke-Kun really loves me. He just doesn't want to admit to anyone. I mean I have the money, the looks and the body. Who wouldn't want me?" She asked flipping her hair over her shoulder.
"A man with common sense." Naruto mumbled glancing at Hinata who smiled slightly.
Sakura narrowed her eyes at the blonde, but didn't say anything to him. Instead she scowled and turned away. "I'm warning you, stay away from what is mine, come anywhere near my man you'll regret it." Sakura said before she walked away with a silent Ino following behind her.
Hinata rolled her eyes. "Or you'll regret it. Please what can she do? Throw us in a dungeon and make us rot? She's full of shit if she thinks that can scare us." Hinata said huffing in annoyance.
Naruto shrugged. "Just like everyone says, she's just full of hot air." He said making Hinata laugh slightly.
"Yeah, well I would love to stay and chat, but I have to go to class now. See you after school Naruto-kun." Hinata said giving him a quick hug before she turn and rushed off in the direction of her class.
Naruto sighed softly and looked down as he continued his way to his class. After a few moments Naruto reached his mathematics class, he went to the straight back sitting down. Setting his bag down on the floor Naruto got out his small math text book and his notebook. He placed them down on the desk and waited for class to begin.
What seems that took forever to arrive it was finally lunch time. Almost immediately every student in the sophomore year rushed down to the cafeteria. The large room was packed with students sitting all over the place. Some kids sat with no food, some had cold lunch, some already had their food and some waited in the line for theirs.
Naruto and Hinata sat alone at a table at the far left. No one else ever sat there with them, if there was no room at any other table they would stand and eat.
Naruto stared down at his tray full of mush that looked like mashed potatoes. Naruto stirred it around with his plastic fork, but he didn't eat any of it.
"Why does it seem that everyone else gets good food while we get mush? To me that's unfair." Naruto said.
Hinata sighed and pushed her tray off to the side shaking her head. "Everyone hates us, I guess that goes for the staff members as well." She said frowning.
Naruto frowned and was about to say something, but when he saw Hinata's eyes widen he grew slightly worried. Before either one of them had the chance to say anything, a bunch of mush found its way into Naruto's blonde hair and down his face. But that wasn't it something else was poured onto him as well but this time it was liquid.
"Oh I'm sorry, I lost my balance and bumped into you." Sakura's voice said from behind him.
The whole cafeteria went silent as they all watched the scene unfolded. Sakura was about to say something else, but Hinata got up with a killer look in her eyes.
"You bitch! Lost your balance my shit! You purposely did this you fucking attention whore! And you wonder why everyone dislikes you, its because your a little bitch!" Hinata hissed as she got up going over to Naruto who just sat there.
"Come on Naruto lets get out of here." She said. Naruto nodded silently before he got up, they then walked over to the doors to only stop when Sakura said something.
"Your the one to talk, your hanging out with an outcast just like yourself. Your a failure to your family. I wonder how your mother would feel if she found out that you were a low life." Sakura said.
Hinata turned and let go of Naruto. She calmly walked over to Sakura, then did something that surprised everyone. She punched Sakura straight in the face followed by a kick in the stomach. With a grunt Sakura fell down to the floor holding both her bleeding nose and throbbing stomach.
"Do not and I repeat do not ever and I mean ever bring my mother up. She loves me for me so shut the hell up before I shut you up myself. I'm sick and tired of your bullshit Haruno, I am so done with just standing here and taking your stupid prissy ass comments. Its my turn to fight back. If you ever do anything to hurt me or Naruto I will make sure that I will make your life a living hell, or better I'll just end your stupid snobbish act. Don't believe me? You will when you find yourself in the hospital bed with your pretty little face bashed in."Hinata spat before she turned and went back to Naruto.
"Come on let's get out of here." She said walking him out.
Ino and Karin dropped down besides Sakura.
"Are you okay?" The red head asked.
"Does it look like I'm okay? That little bitch just ruined my nose job! Fine if she wants to fight dirty then let it be dirty." Sakura hissed before she whimpered as she put pressure on her for sure broken nose.
Soon Hinata reached the boys bathroom, she honestly didn't give a crap that she just walked into the opposite gender rest room she was beyond pissed at the moment. Locking the door after double checking that no one else was in there with them, Hinata then turned to Naruto who was pushing off the giant lumps of mashed potatoes from his hair.
"Do you have your cellphone? I want to call Kyuubi to come and pick us up." Hinata said.
Naruto nodded and took off his bag handing it to her. Reaching into the side pocket she grabbed his flip phone and opened it. She went into contacts and scrolled down to Kyuubi's number. She then pressed the call button.
Naruto took off his glasses and placed them off to the side of the sink. Naruto turned the water on and leant downwards as he cupped his hands together taking water into his hands before he splashed it into his face. He did this a few more times before all the mush was off from his face.
He felt his eyes sting, he wanted to cry but he refuses to do it here. Not infront of Hinata and here at school. Then surely everyone will find another reason to bully him.
Hinata turned to him as she closed the phone. "Kyuubi will be here in a few minutes so get ready." She said making Naruto nod silently.
Today was just another day of high school hell.
A/N : So I got a question asking why I call Kyuubi Kyuubi and not Kurama. Its because I have always called him Kyuubi, is there a problem with it?
If there is I'm sorry for making you strangely upset about somwthing so little...
