Chapter two:

Authors Note: The Italics are the Flashbacks..

Who was she?

He couldn't help but think as he stepped into the bathroom and stripped himself off his clothes.

The hot steam of water ingulfed his senses and helped him forget all his worries.

First he was attacked by some loney fan girls and then he had actually saved a girl from being bullied by none other than the girl's he was trying to avoid.

How ironic.

He could almost feel pity for her.

Almost

We'll serves her right for just standing still and not fighting back. I mean come on who in their right minds endure's that type of torture.

If that was him he would've given them a piece of their mind.

But ofcourse who would challenge him.

He was the Uchiha Sasuke of course.

A rattle was heard as the the door was being forced open.

Naruto's keys jingled as he flung the door open to his own room.

"Stupid thing" a blonde teen muttered under his breath as he glanced at the door and glared.

He looked around the room in interest.

No-one was there.

Where could Sasuke be?

"Sasuke"

No answer

The only thing he could hear was the air conditioner producing odd noises.

"Oh we'll it's his lost if he didn't come back in time to enjoy his meal!"

He planted himself on his bed and began to dig in.

'Ramen' whisked away a cheerful blonde, as he chewed vigorously on his favorite dish not stopping for a breath of air.

The room instantly filled with the miso ramen taste, making Naruto's stomach growl even louder. He leaned foward his ramen, and sniffed the beef smell, that brought a wave of hunger inside of him.

Noddles began flying all over the place, while he rushed to put everything in his mouth. A piece of noddle hung over his chin threatening to spill any moment in the blue carpet.

"This is good" voiced out loud the energetic teen as he continued to eat sloppily.

Who didn't like the noddles that you could eagerly slurp in a mouth full, or the pleasure it brought to its eater's. Making you yearn for more. Well thats what it did for Naruto. He couldn't get enough of it, he recalled his first bowl of ramen that at the moment where his senses told him that it was the best dish in the world. All he knew after that was he was addicted to the dish in front of him, the steaming ramen that clogged his taste buds.

Naruto swiftly turned around to go to grab his bottle of water to drink.

When suddenly a loud splash was heard.

A dead silience followed by, like the bleak silience of the beginning of a war.

Naruto looked slowly down at the floor to see beef and noddles staining the carpet.

He watched silently as he then brought himself to the ground. The next thing he knew he was crying for the meal that had gone to waste. Tears streaming from his blue eyes, he touched the noddles that had spilled on the carpet. Already thinking of a proper burial for them.

Just when he was getting up from his position he heard a soft intake of breath.

Stoping dead in his tracks, he could feel his heart slamming against his chest.

As he came closer and closer to the source of the sound.

A deep yawn was heard once more, echoing through the dorm room.

Her tiny sobs were heard through out the garden of the Hyuga compound. She could be seen hunched over, her knees all the way up to her chest as she sniffled. Tears pouring down her porcelain cheeks. As her father's insults, stuck to her. He had been harsh to her, yet again scolding her for her own weakness. Reminding her of who was in charge. How the heiress of the foundation of the Hyuga was suppose to be. No matter how much she tried to change herself, she would never be good enough. Never, make her father proud of who she was in the inside or outside.

"There you are Hinata!" yelled a blonde haired girl. Her bang, covering the right side of her eye, the other showing off a wondrous color of blue. A deep blue color that portrayed a magnificent sea.

"Whatcha you doing here?' questioned the girl, taking Hinata's hands in her own, squeezing it gently. Reassuring her tiny friend she could tell her , what was wrong.

She frowned as she saw herself going nowhere with shy little Hinata. Who was curled up in a little ball hiccups making their way to her throat. She produced odd sounds that vibrated within her chest. Hinata, gazed up at her friend, her face streamed with ongoing tears that could not stop making its way down to her chin. She bobbed her head, her indigo hair clinging to her wet face. Her eyes, were blotchy from the amount of tears she had shed. She sighed and tried to regain her composure. Scolding herself for potraying her weakness in front of others. Father, always said to let no one see your fears, your regrets.

"Hinata what's wrong?' Ino asked as she brought Hinata's head to her shoulder, and inched herself closer to her friend. She wanted to try to help console her friend. To show her that no matter what her father might say, she would always be there for her.

"I-I-no F-F-ather" Hinata stopped as another sob, cracked in her throat, forcing her to stop with her sentence. Ino gently patted down Hinata's back whispering assuring words to her trying to calm the crying girl in her arms.

"H-he t-t-thinks I-I'm w-w-weak" Hinata spurted out, the words said in a mere whisper. Where Ino had leaned closer to her, to hear her soft spoken words.

"Hinata will you listen to yourself! You're a great person." Ino chirped a smile played on her features as she looked down in Hinata's eyes. She gazed up meeting blue eyes that held sincerity. Sensing no lie, or pity forming in her eyes, Hinata shook her head. No Ino's wrong, she wasn't great at all. In face she could say she was boring, a wet blanket. In everyone's eye, she could be perceived as a useless tool.

Hinata hung her head in shame at her thoughts. She was indeed, not worthy to carry out the Hyuga name. Maybe, perhaps her father was right. That's why he spoke so lowly of her. He was right, she thought. I deserve, to be treated this way, to be punished harshly, to take beatings. All this time she had thought she needed something better, to be loved.

But she was wrong, she could see now her father saw that she wasn't worthy, she wasn't that good child she had to be. So she was punished with reason. However, her mother had once told her no one deserved to be hurt, to feel neglected.

No..no..She didn't want to be treated like this, to be left crying in her own misery. Did she really deserve what came her way? She didn't understand. No one, her mothers words hung over her mind, deserves such a harsh life. She wanted to escape, to leave her past life behind. Her mother was right, she needed to be some where were she could be herself. To finally be happy.

"Hinata, you're strong willed, I see determination in your eye's to change" Ino spoke out, her voice wavering at first then getting more fury. 'Hinata' thought Ino you need to be loved. How long have you lived with the pain you hold in your heart? That you carry on, as your burden. How long? Years, Months, Days, Minutes..It must be hard, feeling alone. Knowing there's no one to understand you. But don't worry Hinata I'm here, I'll help you as long as I can. Ino promised herself to be her protector.

Ino smiled softly, wiping away her own tears, and holding Hinata tighter.

"I-Ino" Hinata began once more to protest to her childhood friend, her voice trembling a bit.

"What did I just say Hinata Hyuga!" Ino scolded, a frown in her face, as she gazed down at the wide eyed girl in her grasp. She smiled and closed her eye's drifting off to sleep. The sounds of birds chirping and the trees swinging in the wind dazed in her head.

Hinata opened her eyes slightly to see Ino rocking her to sleep.

"Thank you" she whispered out before her eyelids soon became too heavy and she fell into deep slumber a shy smile printed on her face.

Hinata flipped around in the sofa tossing and turning it was alway's the same dream her and Ino in the garden.

Would she be able to see her dear friend again?

After all those year's does Ino hate her?

She furrowed her eyebrows in deep thought.

A yawn escaping her throat as she turned once more from her musings. Curling herself in a ball, her hand coming up to suck her thumb as a child would.

She rested her head in a soft feathery pillow. A blanket placed over her to prevent the cold from slipping in.

This most have been the softest pillow she had ever slept on. It wasn't like her's rough and hard like back home.

Her bed wasn't like this.

Was it?

She awoke with a jump with wide frightful eye's

Where am I?

This didn't look like her room in fact this room was the complete opposite. The wall's were a pale blue color, and a blue carpet was plastered on the ground. A desk was in the far corner of the room, where a laptop was opened, and books were messily scattered around. Her gaze flickered over the room, to look at her surroundings. In the left side of the wall was poster's of models in a dozen of poses for the camera a sultry smile on their lips.

Poster's of female models.

Slowly it clicked in her head.

Was she in a male's room?!

She scrambled off the couch her eye's wider than before.

Oh no! Was she going to be like one of those girl's you found on the news that would be forced to live here forever..

What had she gotten herself into now!

Suddenly a face came into view. The face of a blue eyed boy, with spike blonde hair that was looking curiously at her.

She did the most common thing anyone would do.

She screamed.

His eyes widened as he saw her back into the wall and hit her head clumsily trying to get away from him.

"It's okay I won't harm you" he told her

'It's okay?' she thought, she was in someone's room, she didn't even know, with a random guy..

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki" he called out his loud voice bouncing off the walls, he held his hand out for her to shake. She looked at him wearily and just looked down at his hand deciding to shake it or not.

A light blush spread across her features, as she watched his face intently. He was defiantly cute, his boyish charm. His blue eyes that were a deep blue that sparkled intenively. He had a nice tan, and his blonde hair made him look even more adorable, then he already was. He looked her way, and winked causing poor Hinata to turn ten shades redder from the embarrassment to be caught staring.

"So what's your name?' he called out, grinning at her.

" H-hyuga H-h-inata" she said her soft voice barely heard.

"Nice to meet you Hinata-chan!" he hopped over to her side at the couch and toke a seat. He toke a good look at her before briefly bringing his gaze to her shoulder.

"Eh? Hinata...you have something on your shoul-"

But she wasn't listening.

He leaned in closer his face edging toward hers. She, held her breath in, watching as he breathed in slowly. Her heart thundering in her ears from the close proximity.

He stretched his arms out reaching her.

She instantly closed her eyes, to feel the sensation of his long arms embracing her.

Thump, that's all she heard from the insane beating in her heart that drummed loudly within her ears.

Did anyone else hear it? It seemed so loud to her ears.

He was coming closer, as his arms, touched her shoulder. They locked gazes with each other when she finally had the courage to open her eyes. His blue eyes, edged her on, she found herself moving toward his warmth radiating off his body.

He came closer..

Just when she thought, he was going to embrace her in his arms , she watched his hand go to her shoulder and take a string that was loose over her jacket off.

How embarrassing

"Hinata there was a piece of dirt in your jacket but don't worry I toke it out!" stated Naruto watching her fall onto the floor in a loud bang. He gaped a few minutes, at seeing her reaction. Hinata was sprawled on the floor, her shoulders sagged in the carpet. She fingered the big bump that was forming on the top of her head.

'Fool' she hissed to herself..

She bowed her head down and sighed thing's couldn't get much worse than this.

"NARUTO WHAT WAS THAT NOISE?' a cold voice called out, as Sasuke looked at his blonde companion who only shrugged in response.

He glared down at the girl sitting in his carpet her legs crossed, her small fingers in her lap while she remained still playing with them.

She looked up just as he was about to look away. A huge blush forming in her face working its way down to her neck before she had fainted. Seeing him in a towel wrapped around his waist, and one lazily flung on his shoulder. His hair messily clinging to his wet face.

She caugh a pair of ebony eye's staring right back at her in mild annoyance before she had fainted at the sight of him.
