DISCLAIMER - I do not own Naruto =)

Chapter two - Basics and beginnings.

+*+*+*+

You're probably wondering what's what around here. So do I if I'm honest.
I'll tell you the stories.

See, it was the whole group when we was 13/14 I can't exactly remember what age we actually was, but anyway we were all our at town, it was Saturday.
There was the usual gang; Me, Ino, Hinata, Tenten, Shikamaru and Neji. We sat down on this patch of grass in the middle of town with what we'd call a picnic Loads of sugar; Sweets/Candy and loads of fizzy/sugary drinks, thats when we were joined by a blonde boy and a dark haired one.

We didn't mind them just sitting down and joining in our random chats, to lively and hyper on sugar to even care. We got talking to them both as if we'd know them for ages and that was it some how we managed to see them every weekend from than on, we didn't realise at the time when we first met them that they were actually in our school. Than again our school was huge and theres no way you could tell anyone who everyone in that ENTIRE school was, there was either new people entering the building or someone leaving, our school was proud of what it was like, it treat us like adults and not just like students.
Though we still had to wear the crappy uniform except for thje study days that we had to attend, though except from me and Hinata i think noone else studies but rather just lies around on the grass outside.

Anyway back to the situations.
Naruto acknowledged everyone in school, he knew so many people in and out of it- just forgot their names. That was a problem with me for about a month or two.
But Sasuke seemed to remember with ease, that's what annoyed me how what seemed to remember but the other didn't- but I suppose its better than neither of them knowing who I was. Of course Ino got all starstruck or lovestruck over Sasuke when he first sat with us, we reckon she knew who it was sat with us but she swears she didn't.

Like anyone other girl I did crush on Sasuke, but seeing he was more like a brother to me that stopped after a year or so. But I always had a soft spot for Naruto. I could easily see Hinata and Naruto were ment for each other like everyone else could, it didn't stop me going ahead and liking him.

After a month or two, he finally acknowledged me, finally the face he knew but had no name to it HAD A NAME! And after that he'd talk to me constantly.
He talked to me about Hinata but not only about Hinata, we had so much in common it was unbelievable and he could make me laugh by just saying the little thing.

Hinata and Naruto never did get together back than they just seemed to stay close and know there was something between them two, but as they got older and Naruto .. somehow .. not much matured they seemed to realise was it best for them to be together? We didn't know what was going on the rest of us, we was bored of trying to help though I felt there was some need to help now and again and I reckon the help would come in handy anytime soon.

And this is where our story begins.
