Light fought its way through the two layers of sheet's freshly stapled to the window sill and the squawks of geese migrating found their way into the room. Hinata turned over in her bed for the fifth time this morning. She was restless and irritated; two things she never was. Kicking the covers off in a mild fit of anger, she turned her attention to the ceiling. "This is stupid…" She jumped, the sound of her own voice startling her. Sitting up, she frowned. It was stupid. She was stupid. How could she let a dream convince her that the world had turned upside down? She slid her legs over the side of the bed and took a glance at her digital alarm clock. School just got out; she skipped another day. Stupid dream. Sighing she got up and went into the kitchen to fill her aching stomach, running a hand through her birds nest as she walked.

She was halfway through looking in the fridge when a knock on the door sounded. She looked at the door mutely for a minute before she shut the refrigerator door and went to answer it. She slid the front door open an inch, allowing only a single eye to peek out.

Blonde hair, blue eyes and cleavage greeted her.

"Heya! Where've you been?!"

Hinata promptly shut the door and went back into the kitchen. She ignored the banging on the door as well as the screaming. All Hinata wanted to do was eat then go back into her room and hide for the rest of her life. That was the only way the terrible dream would go away. She pulled a cereal box down from off the top of her refrigerator and screamed when the front door came off its hinges. Six figures stepped over the fallen door and into the apartment.

"Ugh, that was so unnecessary…"

"I concur."

"Yeah Ino, that was a bit much."

"Hey, Hinata, OOoooh… Is that Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Can I have some?"

"You just ate!"

"All of you shut up!" Ino turned to Hinata, her cheeks red with anger. "You." She growled as she pointed at her, the other hand placed on her hip. "Don't you EVER close the door in my face again, I won't care if you're a sleeper sister or not, I will rip all the pretty hairs off your head! GOT IT?!"

Hinata nodded, the cereal box held in front of her as a shield.

Ino lowered her hand and nodded. Turning to look back at the door she smiled sheepishly. "Heh, sorry about the door. We'll fix it."

The bluenette lowered the cereal box slightly. "W-why are y-you all here?"

"We missed you, that's why! You haven't been to school in like a week and a half!" Kiba pronounced loudly as he hooked an arm around her shoulders. Hinata looked around at the people squished into her little kitchen.

Shikamaru shrugged and leaned against the counter and closed his eyes. Sakura smiled at her as she tried to pull Choji out of the cabinets. Her eyes settled onto a boy with dark hair and sunglasses on, his lips pressed into a thin line and his hands shoved into his pockets.

Ino noticed her line of sight and smiled. "That's Shino, he's in the same homeroom as Sakura and Shikamaru but his major is under Orochimaru's bioengineering program. Their stuff is top secret just like the sleepers. Shino doesn't get to hang out with us as much because they work on their final from day one."

Shino held his hand out to shake and Hinata looked at it like he was infested with bugs. She reached out and quickly shook two of his fingers before retracting her hand quickly. "C-can you g-guys go now?"

Sakura blinked and frowned. "You want us to leave already? Are you not feeling well?"

Hinata shook her head. "I…"

The blonde placed a hand on the Hyuga's forehead. "She doesn't feel warm, maybe a belly ache?"

Once again, Hinata shook her head. "I…"

Kiba pulled his beanie tighter on his head before he knelt down in front of her. "Here, get on my back. I'll carry you to your room."

Hinata blushed and pressed her lips together. "N-no! I want you all to leave now. I'm not sick. I don't want you…you…you freaks here!" She raised the cereal box in front of her, hiding her face from all of them. She didn't want to see their faces. They make the stupid dream real, but it can't be real. It's too crazy.

"It seems as though our presence is not appreciated here at this time."

"Hinata…" Sakura's voice was soft and soothing. She felt the medic-in-training place a hand on her shoulder and she flinched. "Is this about…The school?"

"I have to go to work…Please leave." Hinata pushed past them and stormed into the bathroom, being sure to lock the door as soon as it was closed. She took a deep breath and hopped into the shower—she really did have to get to work.


"Miss! Another Iced Tea please!"

Today was a pretty easy day in the café; No roudy customers, no rambunctious teenagers and definitely no rude black haired men accompanied by their good looking blonde friends. The last thought made her sigh. Working at the café felt normal and she liked normal. She just hoped the pay would be enough to keep the electricity on for this month.

Hinata's smile didn't reach her eyes as she turned to the waiting customer. "Of course, one moment please." The customer nodded and she headed back to the kitchen to get the drink. She took a breath and looked at the clock. Only an hour until her shift was over. Maybe she'd have some time to go to the movie rental place across the street before it closed. The thought of new movies put a smile on her face and she carried the drick out of the swinging door. Today was a pretty easy day in the café, she just hoped the pay would be enough to keep the electricity on for this month.

"Oh, look who Mr. Roberts hired. The pussy drop-out." The blood in Hinata's veins froze and she turned slowly to see the twin red heads smirking back at her. "Hn? Nothing to say to your lonely teammates?" Karin giggled.

"Bitch probably pissed herself. What didn't think you'd see our faces again? This town is pretty fucking small." Tayuya smacked her gum and sat down in a seat, pulling her sisters' arm to sit next to her. "We want steak and eggs. Medium rare for me and medium well for her. I like my shit still kicking. Over easy on the eggs, no fucking mushroom sauce. Shit's disgusting. Iced Tea, skip the ice. Extra lemon and some of that hot sauce you guys keep hidden in the back."

Hinata scrambled to get their orders down and nodded when she thought she had it all. "U-um, did you want sides?"

"Did I say we wanted fucking sides?"

"R-right. I'll be back with y-your order." Quickly she turned around and hurried into the safety of the kitchens.

The clock didn't tick fast enough.


Hinata peaked her head into the store room of the Movie Shack. Her eyes moved back and forth to make sure no one she knew was there and after confirming no one was, she moved quickly into the isles of movies. Her eyes skimmed over the genres, silently searching for something that would help her with her current situation. But…What was her current situation? Was she actually in the mental hospital and she didn't know or did she create a world to help deal with the trauma? Or was she sucked into an alternate universe where people sent their kids to military schools so intense that they don't blink twice at people cleaning knives at the lunch table? Was it all a dream inside a dream inside a dream? Oh god, what if she hit her head when she fell from the rope and now she's stuck in a coma! Hinata felt her heart rate pick up and she struggled to stay conscious.

"Hey, you need help finding something?"

Hinata turned at the sound of the store clerks voice and was about to answer when she realized who the voice belonged to. The words got stuck in her throat as she looked at him.

The man smiled at her, white teeth shining bright. "Hey, you're the girl from the diner. How are you? You aren't wearing those shoes anymore are you?"

Hinata shook her head slowly, her cheeks heating up into a blush. "U-um…"

"I don't remember if I told you my name but, I'm Naruto. How 'bout you? You musta just moved here 'cause I haven't seen you around before the last time I saw you."

"H-hinata…"

Naruto smiled. "Hinata…That's a cute name. It mean's 'sunny place', right?"

The girls blush darkened and she lowered her gaze to her feet. "Y-you speak Japanese?"

The blonde man blushed and rubbed the back of his head. "Err, not really…I just watch anime and stuff. How 'bout you?" When Hinata shook her head no he smiled. "Well, were you looking for something specific?"

"I-I don't really know yet…"

"Well, I have a suggestion…" The man snatched a movie case off of the display rack and held it up to her. "Ip Man. He's a Chinese kung fu master who uses Wing Chun. He's a complete bad ass who trained Bruce Lee. The actor who plays him is Donnie Yen and he's probably my favorite right about now and you look like you're completely bored. Sorry, I really like kung fu movies…I'll just put this back."

Hinata shook her head and reached for the movie. "N-no, it sounds interesting. I like a-almost all movies…"

"So…you'll watch it?" when she nodded, he sighed and smiled. "Heh, you're pretty cool! How old are you anyway?"

"S-Sixteen…I will be seventeen in December…"

"Aww, you're a kid." He laughed when he saw her pout and he patted her head. "I'll let you rent this only if you give me a discount on my next meal, deal?"

Hinata pretended to think about it, but she knew she was going to say yes anyway. "Deal."

That night Hinata walked into the apartment with a smile on her face. If she was in a dream, then she really didn't want to wake up. She touched the top of her head when he patted her and blushed. Looking down at the movie she rented, her smile grew and rushed upstairs. She didn't even notice that the front door was completely fixed or the note on the table left by her classmates…
