Chapter 2: The Beginning

No one knows what it's like

To be hated

To be fated

To telling only lies

The rest of the math class was boring and it seemed to drag on to Hinata; but soon the bell rang and the students sighed with relief as they packed up with Ms. Long shouting their assignment as they walked out the door. Hinata packed her bag slowly and went to leave when Ms. Long stopped her by lightly holding her shoulder; she had an apologetic look on her face,

"I am sorry again Miss Hinata, I assure you that next time I will make sure you sit in a more pleasant seat."

She said the last part a bit snobbish and her mouth curled a bit as if she tasted something nasty, Hinata frowned a bit then gave the teacher a small yet reassuring smile,

"N-no i-it is OK… It was fine… I-I g-got to go t-to class, s-see y-you l-later sensei,"

Hinata stuttered. She wanted to ask why she would say something like that about Naruto, he seemed nice; but she was late to class and she had no idea where she was going. She bowed to Ms. Long, who had a slightly wary expression on her face but nodded as she went back to writing problems on the board for the next class.

Hinata looked at her schedule and the map of the school but it did not help her much because there were many lines and levels and it was very confusing. There was only a few seconds before the second bell rang and she had no idea where she was. Students flooded the hallway pushing each other to try and get to their next class on time. Everyone walked by her like she was invisible and she was too shy to ask for help, she was turning a corner when she ran into someone and found herself on the floor,

"G-Gomen…"

"Hey whatcha- oh hey Hinata."

Naruto said in a cherry tone though it was a bit surprised as he smiled at the blushing girl who awkwardly landed on him when they collided. She avoided eye contact as he gently pushed her off of him and got up brushing himself off then held a hand out to her which she accepted,

"A-Arigato N-Naruto-kun, I'm s-so clumsy… d-did y-you g-get in a l-lot of t-trouble?"

Hinata asked timidly as she stooped down and began picking up her discarded papers and notebooks, Naruto rolled his eyes and shrugged a bit, he had a smirk on his face,

"What? Oh no, Granny Tsunade just lectured and I got detention for two weeks, no biggie, I'm used to it now"

Naruto said in a dismissive tone, he put his arms behind his back and had a teasing smile on his face,

"Hey, don't worry about running into me, your pretty tough; you should go out for the football team with that tackle. Bet you could beat all those guys down."

Naruto said in a joking tone as he shook his fist and laughed a bit which made Hinata giggle a bit,

"She has a really cute laugh. She is pretty as well, but nothing could happen… she is the Hyuuga Heiress and I'm the demon boy…. Stupid demon..."

Naruto thought as he sighed inwardly as he put his hands in his pockets and gave Hinata a slightly sad yet goofy smile which made Hinata blush a bit more, she looked up at him for a few seconds then back down at her feet,

"I-I w-wonder why e-everyone a-avoids h-him… h-he seems r-really n-nice…"

Hinata thought, she smiled a bit and Naruto smiled back but he then frowned and the joking gleam in his cerulean eyes dimmed and were replaced with bitterness,

"Your next class is world civilizations with Asuma, he is in room A13 which is down the hall and to the right. I'm sorry for bumping into you and glad you are OK, see you Hinata."

He said in a robotic voice and slowly took a step back and walked passed her, she opened her mouth to say something but he left before she could do so. She had a confused expression and saw Naruto in a glaring match with a boy who had raven hair that stuck up in the back and obsidian eyes that were emotionless. Naruto almost growled and the other boy narrowed his eyes, looked at Hinata and then back at Naruto then walked away, but Naruto did not seem to calm down when the boy left. He muttered a quick 'good bye' to Hinata then angrily walked away, clenching his fists. She watched the strange boy walk down the hallway then turn right and disappear, she stayed glued in the middle of the hallway,

"How odd…"

She thought but then shook her head and followed Naruto's directions and soon arrived at the room, though upon entering began coughing because the class room was filled with smoke from the teacher's cigarette which hung lazily out of the corner of his mouth. Asuma was in his late thirties and a heavy smoker, despite Tsunade and his wife Kurenai's warning he continued and did not seem to care that the room was slowly filling with smoke or that his students were choking from the smoke. He lazily looked up at Hinata and 'hmphd' acknowledging her presence then went back to his lecture. Hinata slipped into one of the seats by the windows which was slightly cracked open but not open enough to clear away the smoke. She coughed and took out her notebook and began taking notes, she did not even notice the brown haired girl sitting next to her until she spoke,

"Hey you're the new girl right? Hinata Hyuuga?"

She asked in a slightly curious tone and smiled, Hinata nodded a bit, the brown haired girl smiled and held her hand out,

"Hi Hinata, my name is Tenten. Nice to meet you, sorry about the smoke but no matter what you say Asuma-sensei will never stop smoking."

Tenten said in a defeated tone as Hinata coughed in response and Tenten smirked a bit as several other student's eyes began to water a bit and coughed from the smoke. Hinata smiled a bit, she and Tenten focused on the lesson or at least attempted though throughout the class Hinata could not stop thinking about Naruto's sudden change of mood, and she decided she would ask Tenten about Naruto and why everyone seemed to hate him.

Soon the bell rang to everyone's relief, everyone made a bee line for the door to escape the smoke and get clean air into their lungs. Hinata walked out with Tenten and they headed to the cafeteria for lunch, they arrived at the lunch room and Tenten began babbling about the school and what the best foods were and what to avoid. Hinata nodded though she was only half listening as she was looking for a certain blonde but he was nowhere to be found, she frowned a bit and did not even realize that she was at the table until Tenten snapped her out of it,

"Oi Hinata-chan? Hey, are you OK? Did you hear anything I said?"

Tenten asked in a slightly annoyed yet curious tone as Hinata shook her head and blushed slightly at being caught, spacing out,

"G-Gomen T-Tenten-chan, wh-what d-did y-you s-say?"

Hinata said a little bit embarrassed as Tenten frowned and sighed but started talking with energy,

"I asked you how you liked the school so far. Though a better question would be, who are you looking for?"

Tenten asked as she noticed Hinata was looking around again; Hinata looked at Tenten and had a curious expression on her face,

"T-Tenten, h-how c-come N-Naruto i-is n-not h-here? Wh-why d-don people a-avoid h-him?"

Hinata asked in a inquisitive tone as she took a bite of her sandwich then frowned as she noticed Tenten's hesitation at the mention of Naruto's name, she looked down,

"Who knows and who cares. Naruto is annoying and bad news…. Why do you ask?"

Tenten asked in cautious yet serious tone, her eyes had a look of accusing and wariness in them, Hinata blushed a bit and shrugged trying to be non chalant about it.

"J-Just w-wondering."

Hinata said in a breezy tone though there was still a hint of confusion in it as she saw Tenten's reaction to him, it was the same as everyone else. She ate her lunch quietly as she thought of Tenten's words,

"I-is N-Naruto-kun th-that b-bad? H-he d-does n-not s-seem t-to be t-that b-bad… though anyone can act…hmmm…."

Hinata thought, she was confused as she finished her lunch and heard the bell ring so Tenten and her got up and headed to the rest of their classes. Hinata and Tenten arrived at their last class of the day, Latin with Kakashi. Hinata paused as she looked around but saw no teacher, she frowned, Tenten laughed a bit,

"Don't worry, Kakashi-sensei is always late."

Tenten said in a assuring voice as she sat in a seat and Hinata sat next to her Tenten began talking with some blonde hair girl enthusiastically, Hinata's eye wandered a bit until it lay on a certain blonde haired boy. She smiled a bit and nodded, he smiled a bit and waved a bit then took his seat in the back of class, he had a small smile on his face as he scooted deeper into his chair and pulled his hoodie's hood closer around his face obscuring his face from Hinata. Soon a man in his mid twenties sauntered lazily into the room; his hair was grey—despite his age— and seemed to defy gravity as it shot straight up. He had a mask covering the lower half of his face and he had a scar travelling down his right eye, he held a small yellow book that was in front of his face, he looked up then shut it,

"Yo. Sorry I'm late, there were these cats that got stuck in a tree that I needed to help then I had to teach tone deaf orphans how to sing."

Kakashi said in an innocent, bored voice, the class rolled their eyes,

"LIAR! YOU'RE JUST A LAZY ASS!"

Shouted Naruto, causing everyone to look at him and sigh then back at Kakashi, curious looks on their faces as they waited to see how he would react. The man stared at Naruto, narrowed his eyes then shrugged and laughed as he rubbed the back of his head, unlike most teachers Kakashi ignored Naruto's outburst and did not punish him; he actually found them quite amusing and he somewhat admired Naruto's courage to speak his mind which could not be said for his other students. Yes Naruto was something special even though he was the demon fox's host, though Kakashi kept this all to himself and had a poker face as he face the loud mouth blonde,

"Thank you Naruto for your opinion it has been duly noted. Now that we got that out of the way let's get to work, turn to page 12 in your books."

Kakashi said in a bored voice and the students did as they were told and began quiet study. While doing the work Hinata looked up at Naruto and noticed that his hoodie slipped a bit to reveal a big bruise and several scratch marks on his cheek and near his eyes. Hinata gasped a bit but quickly looked away before anyone could catch her staring at him, but when she looked up again Naruto locked eyes with her and she felt her breath stop; his blue eyes were full of anger and sadness, it made Hinata shiver a bit,

"His eyes… they are so full of pain… what happened…"

Hinata thought as she looked at him again, he looked dangerous and unstable like Tenten said but for some reason instead of being intimidated she felt sadness and sympathy toward him. The bell rang and everyone left to go home. She caught up to Naruto, she touched his shoulder which caused him to spin around quickly and jump back but when he saw it was Hinata he relaxed a bit. He had a small smile on his face though the hatred and the emptiness was still in his eyes,

"Hey Hinata… listen I got to go. It was nice meeting you and I hope you had a good first day, see you around."

Naruto said quickly as he looked down then locked eyes with the raven haired boy from before; Naruto tightened his fists then turned the other way before Hinata could say one thing. On closer inspection the bruise on his left side was much worse. It concerned her for some reason, she did not know why, it was only her first day here and already she felt some pull toward the blonde haired blue eyed boy.

"N-Naruto-kun… wh-what-"

"Its none of your business Hinata. I'll see you later."

Naruto said in a strained tone as he locked eyes once again with the raven haired boy who seem to smirk then looked at Hinata with obsidian eyes that were cold and made Hinata pause,

"Did that boy do that to Naruto?"

"Ne, Sasuke come on, coach will freak if we are late to practice again."

One of the boys said to the raven haired boy, he looked at the boy and sighed,

"Hn. Your right."

The boy, Sasuke, muttered as he and his friends walked the other way. Hinata watched Naruto walk away and pull his hoodie up and Hinata turned and walked out of the school building and toward one of the servants who smiled and greeted her cheerfully,

"How was your first day Hinata-hime?"

"Fine Ryko-kun."

Hinata mumbled as her mind was preoccupied with the looks exchanged between Naruto and that boy Sasuke.

"T-There w-was s-something b-between t-those two… d-did S-Sasuke b-beat N-Naruto up?"

Hinata thought as they slowly headed back to the Hyuuga compound where, upon arrival Hinata went up to her room and plopped on her bed and proceeded to fall asleep, she was exhausted. As she fell asleep Naruto entered her dreams and his blue eyes, full of hatred burned in her mind; she did not know why but, she felt she had some bond with the cerulean eyed boy; but that was impossible. How could she have a bond with someone she just met? She tried to shake of the feeling but she could not; after seeing him injured and seeing the looks his peers as well as the teachers gave him, made her want to protect him, she was not a fighter nor was she very brave, how was she going to protect him when she could not even stand up to her father. Hinata sighed and allowed herself to fall into a deep sleep.

With Naruto

Naruto coughed up some blood and was kneeling on the ground, doubled over as three shadowy figures towered over him,

"Is that all you got Demon? You really are a loser, next time think twice before disrespecting your superiors."

The middle figure said in a monotone voice though there was a hint of sneering in it as he kicked Naruto hard once again in the stomach and caused him to fly back into the alleyway. Naruto began to shake as he struggled to get up,

"Y-You are not my superior Chicken Ass. And I will never respect you; I will beat you and be Hokage, Believe it."

Naruto said in a determined voice though there was a bit of animosity behind it which made the two behind the taller man shiver a bit though the fattest one smirked and laughed a bit.

"Looks like the Demon dog still has a bit of fight left in him Sasuke, guess the lesson has not sunk in yet. Though I would not expect anything less from a Demon Child, "

The fat one said in a matter of fact tone and shrugged, Sasuke scoffed and glared at Naruto who met his gaze,

"Whatever, this was just a warning Uzamaki. Next time I won't be so generous, later dobe."

Sasuke said in a dull tone as he smirked as the group of three left and disappeared in the shadows, leaving Naruto alone. He shook and clenched his fists which screamed with pain from his fight, he collapsed to his knees and closed his eyes to prevent tears from falling down,

"Why? Why me? I'll kill that Chicken Ass, he is going to pay… no way am I going to lose to a teme like him."

Naruto vowed as he got up and tried to clean himself up as much as possible so as not to alarm Iruka. He snuck in through the window of their apartment and went to the bathroom to wash his cuts and to bring the swelling down a bit, as he splashed cold water on his face he looked at himself in the reflection and gripped the sink hard. He looked into his blue eyes which were filled with hatred, lonlinesss, and revenge, he hated Sasuke and his gang, he hated everyone, except for Iruka and that Hinata girl….

"She did not shun me… she was concerned? No, why would she be? I'm a monster, a demon, a outcast, she is new and therefore did not know who I was. No doubt she knows now and tommrow will want nothing to do with me… why do I care? I barely even know her…. Still…"

Naruto paused as he thought about her sweet laugh and her lavender eyes which were full of sympathy and kindness, he smiled a bit and his eyes lightened a bit at the thought of her but were dulled again at the realization she would find out who he really was and treat him like everyone else,

"She's no different than them... I am only hurting myself by letting her get to me. I will always be lonely and unloved, that is my curse and fate, the fate of a demon."

Naruto thought bitterly as a few tears streamed down his face, he hung his head and punched the wall causing a small dent and went to his bed where he passed out and had a restless night sleep, he was plagued with nightmares that kept waking him up in a cold sweat. Though at one point he found peace when Hinata Hyuuga's face appeared and calmed him down before the nightmare took a turn for the worse, maybe there was something special about the girl. His guardian, Iruka watched from the hallway with a sad expression on his face and went back to his room,

"Oh Naruto, what am I going to do with you?"

He thought as he sighed and went to sleep as well, worrying about his foster son as two teenagers thought of the other in their dreams.

AN: All right! So? What do you think? Good? Could be improved? Do I have you guys hooked? Oh I apologize for making Naruto a bit darker than he usually is, it's for the story though!
