Ashita

Fangirls

One week after the battle with Toneri….

She couldn't move.

The puppet jutsu rendered her helpless and unable to control her limbs. No matter how strong her willpower was, her body would not move.

His hand was on her arm now, her entire form shivered at his touch.

"No . . . No I don't want him touching me."

He looked down at her. A shiver went down her spine as she looked back into her sister's eyes which he had implanted into himself.

Originally she had gone with Toneri in order to save her sister and find the weapon. This wedding ceremony she only wanted to pretend to go through with, but being stuck as a lifeless doll was not part of the plan at all. In a few moments she would most likely be sharing a kiss with the man beside her, which was something she was not looking forward to at all; however it was what came after that which had her scared to death.

Going off by herself like this, she realized had been a horrible plan.

She should have stayed with the rest of group.

Hearing Naruto's confession had caught her completely off guard. She hadn't expected it at all, nor had time to think about what he had said before Toneri had appeared. Hinata wished he was here right now to stop this ceremony, but he would not come. She could only imagine how much pain one person would be in after confessing to someone and then have that person basically reject them by going with another. Hinata was all on her own right now . . .

Toneri started to lean towards her, eyes closing as he prepared to kiss her.

"No!"

Hinata sat up straight; the covers flying off her futon and landing almost near the door. It took a few deep breaths and head turns for her to realize she was only at the Hyuuga Compound and not back on the moon with Toneri.

It was only a dream . . .

Groaning at the nightmare she just had, Hinata crawled to her feet and started to get dressed. This was now the third time she had had this dream, and it was really starting to annoy her. Not only was she plagued with the thought of Toneri putting the black wedding dress on her and seeing her naked, but now he was haunting her dreams too.

Slamming a drawer shut, Hinata paused and realized she was letting these emotions get the better of her. She was acting like a two year old having a temper tantrum. Taking a few deep breaths she tried to calm down the frustration she was feeling, but the meditation skills she used daily were not helping in the slightest.

Grabbing her boots from the closet, Hinata decided to do the next best thing for a situation like this! And that was to head to the training grounds and beat out some of these emotions. It was something she rarely did, however with not being able to sleep right for the past week, she needed to try a different approach on dealing with this.

Hinata said good morning to her father and sister before heading towards the front gate. Later on in the day she would be meeting up with her team for lunch, so she needed to go to the training grounds now to deal with this little problem.

Unfortunately, her day was about to turn into one hell of a bumpy ride.

Not only did she not make it to the training grounds, but for the past four hours it almost seemed like the whole village was against her going there or trying to frustrate her even more. Lee had almost ran her over while running in the streets, to which then she decided to stop by her favorite bakery and grab cinnamon buns for later. However they were completely sold out and there wouldn't be any available to purchase until tomorrow. Then she had run into TenTen who was showing her a new kunai she was designing and somehow in the demonstration almost cut off the wide strap of Hinata's shirt; which was now quite literally hanging on only by a few threads. Then turned into a trip to the craft store to get thread to fix her shirt, but wouldn't you know it they were out of the one color she needed.

As Hinata tried to keep her cool, she almost wished she could skip lunch with her teammates and just go home for the rest of the day. However, that thought process did not last long. She was a ninja of Konoha, and every ninja of course had their bad days. She stopped for a moment to lightly slap her cheeks and re-focus on her outlook for the day.

Get to the restaurant to have lunch with Kiba and Shno, have a good time and then I'm going to use my signature move to take out a few trees at least.

Sitting down beside Kiba, she tried to act as if nothing was wrong and smiled in front of them; however they knew something was up. These two were like her older brothers, so they always could tell if she wasn't acting like her normal self. She could also tell they knew, because Kiba was unusually quiet and so was Akamaru.

"Having an uneasy day, Hinata? I can feel the frustration radiating off you."

Hinata sighed and took a long sip out of her glass of water, "I'm sorry you guys. It's just one of those days where no matter what you do, something always goes wrong."

Kiba finally spoke, "We all have those days. I won't ask what happened, especially seeing that big rip on your shirt, but you have tried meditating right?"

"More than once. I was actually on my way to the training grounds before meeting up with you guys, but . . ."

"No need to explain. We completely understand. Tell you what, Shino and I have nothing to do for the rest of the day. Would you like us to come with you? Instead of beating the crap out of some trees you can work your frustration out on us!"

Hinata gave them a genuine smile, "Thanks so much you two."

Just then, the waiter set down their plates of food they had ordered. The table immediately became silent, both Shino and Kiba kept their heads down while Hinata simply stared at her plate. What sat in front of her was not the food she had ordered.

After leaving the restaurant both Shino and Kiba tried to keep the conversation light and cheerful, however their efforts were in vain. Sweet, quiet and shy Hinata now looked like if someone even spoke to her the wrong way she would kill them on the spot. Her teammates did their best to steer her towards the training grounds without any more problems, however their luck had run out as they were passing the academy.

"Rasen-Shuriken!"

All three of them stopped as they watched Naruto demonstrating his abilities to some of the students. The boys were clapping and cheering a bit, but it was the howling and screaming from the girls that caused Hinata's fists to clench tightly beside her.

To Naruto's credit, after returning to the village he had stopped inviting the fangirls that followed him to lunch or receiving any gifts from them as well. However he had not made an official announcement yet that they were a couple. That was not completely his fault though.

On their way back to the village, he admitted that he wanted to speak to her father first face to face before making the announcement to everyone else. Even though their immediate friends knew and some of the villagers as well, the fan girls that continued to follow him either didn't know or considered her being his girlfriend to be just a rumor and ignored it. With her father being in the hospital and Naruto helping out at the Academy, there wasn't any opportunity for them to talk to one another.

Hinata knew that Naruto was hers, but with the current mindset and mood she was in; she was certainly not happy seeing the girls fawn over him like a piece of meat.

Deep down though, she knew Naruto secretly loved the attention he was getting now. For years he had wanted to be acknowledged by everyone in the village, and now they were! He was the hero of Konoha! Her thoughts at this moment might have been different if she wasn't having such a bad day or if they knew he was her boyfriend.

As the students continued to cheer, Hinata turned and started to speed walk towards her destination.

The sooner we get there, the better

Shino and Kiba were close behind her and Hinata crossed her fingers; hoping that Naruto would not see her for she did not want him to see this side of her yet.

But with how today was going, why would the gods listen to her pleas now?

"Oi! Hinata! Kiba! Shino!"

All three stopped again as Naruto came leaping over and landed in front of them. While they couldn't see the students anymore, Hinata could still hear them shouting his name and crying for him to come back.

"Hey guys! Where you headed off to?"

He was such in a chipper and happy mood, and for some reason that irritated her even more.

Naruto's smile immediately vanished as he stared down at his girlfriend. Her head was tilted down and the aura she was giving off right now was enough to make him want to turn around and run for the hills to safety.

Shino took action and stepped behind his teammate, gently rubbing her shoulders in a soothing manner but careful not to irritate the already torn material to make the rip larger. Kiba and Akamaru stepped up to do their part and pulled the blonde ninja aside for a quick chat.

"Don't say anything to her right now. No you didn't do anything wrong, so wipe that sad expression off your face, stupid! Hinata is just having a really bad day. And I mean a really bad day, I haven't seen her like this in a very very long time. It's just one of those days that no matter what she does something goes wrong."

Naruto frowned and glanced behind him to see if Hinata would look him in the face, but her eyes were still glued to the ground.

"Look Naruto, I know you like the attention you are getting from everyone right now, which yes I get you do deserve. However think about it from Hinata's point of view for a second. How would you feel if boys were following and flirting with her all the time?"

It was his turn now to look at the ground and scratch the back of his head.

"Trust me though she understands and she will feel a lot better about it after you guys make it official that you two are a couple. But at this moment, no logical talking or trying to calm her down is going to get to her at this moment. She just needs to blow a little steam off at the training grounds and then she'll be good. Okay?"

It wasn't that he didn't hear what Kiba said, but rather he had a feeling what Hinata needed right now in this moment of frustration and anger. Naruto knew all too well what she was going through, and hoped that this would work. He had a feeling she would never hit him like Sakura did, however to simply get an angry glare from those eyes of hers was enough to send shivers down his spine.

Taking a chance, Naruto walked up towards Hinata. Shino took this as a sign to step back and went back to standing by Kiba's side.

Both the male members of Team 8 watched as Naruto stopped in front of Hinata, and after quickly looking around to make sure they were out of sight from the school so no one could see; he leaned down and pulled Hinata into a hug.

Hinata was indeed surprised by the sudden embrace, but her hands remained clenched by her side. Kiba, Akamaru and Shino did a quick turnaround so their backs were facing them, giving the couple a bit more privacy.

Holding her a bit tighter, Naruto shifted his head to whisper into her ear, "I'm sorry you're having a bad day. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know okay? I've still got to do a few more demonstrations to do for the students, but can we meet up for Ramen tonight at my place? Just you and me for some alone time, okay? Then hopefully tomorrow I can finally talk to your father about us going out."

As she heard his words and melted into his embrace, Hinata could feel her anger die down a little bit. She was still frustrated, however just being in his arms did seem to help her. Unclenching her fists she wrapped her own arms around him, pressing him closer to her. The rage that boiled inside her was still there and needed to be dealt with as soon as possible, but in this moment she was quite content in his arms.

They stayed like that for a few moments before he loosened his grip and pulled away. He smiled and she couldn't help when her own lips turned into a smile as well. Both of them seemed to be thinking the same thoughts when they started to lean towards each other for a quick tender kiss.

Closer and closer they got, and Hinata closed her eyes awaiting to feel his lips on her own . . .

"Oh! Naruto there you are! I was wondering where you went!"

The couple pulled apart as Iruka-sensei jumped over the end of the Academy fence towards them. Naruto was blushing like crazy and stuttering apologies to his teacher about leaving so suddenly, however the rage demon inside Hinata came back tenfold; she was so close to snapping. She tried so hard to control her frustration and anger that she almost missed what Naruto and Iruka were talking about.

"Actually Naruto, do you mind if I invite Hinata to do a demonstration as well? I would love for the students to see her Juho Soshiken. It's also such an amazing and original technique."

"Ah well, now might not be a good time! Hinata and her teammates were just heading to the training grounds to uh . . .uh . . . train together."

Kiba smacked his forehead and Shino simply sighed.

"Oh it should only take a few minutes. Sakura has been so busy at the Hospital and Ino with the flower shop, I would really like them to see some of the amazing abilities of our female ninjas. What do you say, Hinata? Want to show some of the students your original technique."

Hinata remained completely silent, however after a small sigh she nodded her head in agreement.

"Fantastic! We have a target set up and everything for you to demonstrate."

They all followed Iruka-sensei back towards the main court yard at the Academy, where the students were still lined up either on the ground or at the windows in the building. Iruka introduced her to everyone there and even gave them a little back story on who she was. Hinata tried her very best to look calm and even gave smiling a try.

She was glad to see some of the students smiling back at her, but others either wouldn't look her in the eye or were whispering to their friends next to them. Hinata knew all too well what they were saying; for years she had been bullied and made fun of because her eyes were pale violet and had no pupils. This scenario right now was nothing new to her. Naruto stood beside her while Iruka spoke, his hand down at his side; oh how she wished she could just grasp it in her own hand.

"Alright! If everyone could please pay close attention to the target dummy in the middle, Hinata here is going to demonstrate the Juho Soshiken for us!"

Taking a deep breath Hinata walked forward and prepared her stance for the attack. At first the students were quiet as she focused on gathering her chakara, however just as she was about to form the Juho Soshiken a girl from above screamed out.

"Naruto-kun we love you!"

More girls joined in as well.

"That's enough everyone! Pay attention!"

Hinata finally cracked. She didn't want to hold back anymore. Chakara consumed her arms forming the twin lion heads, but it didn't stop there. Soon her entire body was engulfed and the amount of chakara that was coming off of her was enough to silence everyone. It flowed through her entire body, her Byakugan activated as she glared at the dummy target in front of her. She had reached her breaking point and at this moment all she wanted to do was to beat the living day lights out of that dummy in front of her. Giving off a battle cry she leaped forward and began her attack.

Iruka-sensei was saying something but she couldn't hear him. After only two strikes the dummy was knocked of its post, but she didn't stop there. Hinata continued to hit it in the air for as long as she could, taking her frustrations out in this single moment. She was probably scaring the students and Naruto as well, but she didn't care; it just felt so good to finally hit something!

The head of the dummy (which was all that was left of it) hit the ground with a loud thud and with a final cry she jumped into the air. In this one final attack he gave it her all, hitting the dummy head with full force. It was almost like an explosion had gone off. Dust and dirt were flying everywhere; even some of the students were crying out in terror.

As the dust settled, Hinata opened her eyes to see that she was standing in the middle of a huge crater; the court yard pretty much destroyed: even some of the fence that outlined the Academy was now torn to pieces. Iruka was staring at her with his mouth hung open, obviously unable to find any words to say. Her teammates looked rather pleased; Kiba was giving her a thumbs up while Shino nodded with approval.

The students were looking at her, shaking from head to toe in fear and it finally dawned on Hinata that her Byakugan was still active. And while she did feel a little bad for scaring everyone like this, her main focus was on Naruto. His blue eyes were wide with shock and surprise. In that moment she almost wanted to run away and hide, but then suddenly a huge grin appeared on his face.

Naruto's face lit up; he looked as if he had just won free Ramen for a year at Ichiraku's as he cried out, "Oh yeah! That was amazing Hinata-chan! You were sooooo incredible! That's my girl!"

Before Hinata could move or say a word, he was in the middle of the crater with her and enveloped her in a bear like hug; still jumping up and down a little saying how amazing she was. She glanced up at the Academy where the students were still staring down at her; most of the girls looking at her as if she had just ripped their hearts out and stomped on them. For just a moment she felt a little bad, however in a completely selfish act she hugged Naruto back just as hard. To finally show them all that she was his, Hinata turned her head and kissed Naruto lightly on the cheek. All of his fan girls held their breaths, waiting to see his reaction to her public display of affection. While the blonde ninja seemed a little surprised by her kiss, he smiled down at her; kissing her on the cheek too.

All throughout Konoha, everyone was stopped in their tracks as they heard hundreds of female voices crying out in unison, "WAH! NARUTO-SENPAI NOOOOOO!"

Author Note: I know Hinata is not the jealous or angry type. However, even the most quiet and shy person can get so angry that they need to take their frustrations out one way or another. Knowing Hinata's character, I decided that she wouldn't just get mad or angry at Naruto for having fan girls following him and screaming out his name. So I had to think of ways that Hinata could be pushed to her breaking point, and I find it's when you just really have a bad day. When everything goes wrong, your frustration cup is at its breaking point and you just need to let some steam out. I know Hinata probably doesn't have many days like this, but she is human too and most likely does have them the odd time. Anyways that is it for now! Probably won't be a new chapter until close to the New Year seeing as how I am now going to be busy with the Christmas season.

Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year!
