Girls like her...

"THAT..." The old man began his tone not so loud but harsh enough to seem as such. "...Was reckless!!"
"Sorry..." Both girls had their faces turned to the floor, masks in hand.
"You could've killed someone, or worst started a war!"
"Sorry...."
"Sorry?!? You ought to know better than to pull stunts like that!" His hand came up and struck Ayumi across the face and she wordlessly took it, not even a whimper though her eyes welled up.
"Sorry..." The Reply came once more as Ayumi noted Hinata had a look of shock as his hand rose again and struck the same cheek. She glanced at the man who was furious and looked away wondering would she receive the same treatment.
"I think more is in order." Nanasa added her two cents and Ayumi waited to see but was only struck once more.
"I already know if she's got time for such antics she's got room for more training... Much more... and since she'll be working so hard she need not worry about the removal festival that’s up coming." Hinata looked up when he sat back in his seat and went on neglected. "You're dismissed until further notice." Ayumi stood and left the office wordlessly.
“Um…” Hinata went to speak up.
“Dismissed.” The single word sent her scampering off.
“AYUMI!!!” She ran after her and Ayumi turned on her. “That’s not cool. This was your chance to impress Van at the festival!”
“It doesn’t matter… he doesn’t want me anyway!” Ayumi snapped irritably with her cheek swelling up. Damn old man….
“What are you talking about… you’re one of the prettiest in town!”
“Hinata, I’m not in the mood.”
“Ayumi…” Hinata stopped on the porch to Ayumi’s side of the home.
“Hinata, did you not see what happened?!? I took all the blame! I was the bad one! I’m the failure! I’m no you! You can do no wrong, not possible since you were found like a gift from kami-sama himself! Apparently YOU are better than me, you are the more popular one! I was to take care of you and all its done is interfere with me! Even the boy of my heart doesn’t want me… who does he want?!? YOU! YOU! YOU!!!” The door slammed in her face
*~*~*~*

“Hinata…” A smooth voice fell upon deaf ears. The girl had been lost in thought; just hours before the one she called sister dissed herself in every sense of the word. But…She was strong; she was beautiful, many times Hinata found herself slightly envying the girl.

“You used to be like that…” Some part of her brain echoed making her blink. For a while she’s been hiding a secret….She’s been having… dreams? Memories? Maybe dreams of herself before she came to this village?

“Was I like that?” The words formed on her lips but no noise escaped. “Hinata…” The voice called to her again and again they name fell on deaf ears. “White eyes!” The voice had lost all charm.

“Huh?” She found herself blinking as her gaze rose to meet slightly annoyed brown eyes. “I’m sorry, Lan…” She blinked up at the black haired boy.

“So… I heard you and your sister got into a bit of trouble.”

“She took all the punishment.”

“And she should… She is supposed to be the next “Kikankage” in this village.” He smirked watching the shock appear on her face.

“She what?”

“Look around yourself Hinata…” He waved at a couple of people heading towards the monthly Festival of Sight. “The people here treat her harder punishment wise because she can’t be doing those things if she is to be our leader.”

“But isn’t “kage” A name given to strongest?”

“She is… with every new generation the newborns are tested upon chakra capabilities, then those with the highest are tested again after six years, it just happens to be by coincidence that the strongest one is related to our current Kikankage.”

“She likes you, you know…” Hinata murmured softly. Then there was silence before consistent chuckling, then laughter.

“I know! She isn’t quite stealthy in any form.”

“You knew…?”

“Of course!”

“And you don’t tell her how you feel?”

“What’s the point? Girl’s like her won’t get married simply because she’s a *nice* person. She has no outstanding qualities about her as a person or a ninja. She fades into the background with no confidence in herself in the least…”

“That’s not cool!” Hinata stood up looking at him with the angriest look she can conjure. “So she might be quiet…” In that instant an image of her flashed in her mind. An image of her with a deep blush across her pale cheeks her fingers playing with one another. “She might think little of herself but there are outstanding qualities about her! One being that she knows what she wants and for some crazy reason it’s you she wants and she had this whole scheme to spell it out for you, but she got carried away wit her usual recklessness and she lost her opportunity!”

‘Naruto-kun…’

“So, Lan, if you’re going to be a jerk, then know that you’ve missed out on something great!!!” She turned away from him and walked away from the festival hearing faint snickering from the group of boys that followed the cocky boy.

*~*~*

“Hinata…” He found that he really couldn’t sleep. After finding out the news of the one girl who ever truly loved him despite all that is and has always been wrong with him was alive, how could he sleep? This time things would be different though. Sure it would be very crazy of him to think so but the past few years the fantasy of him changing maybe one or two lines in past conversations haunted him. Just one or two lines, or in some cases words and in other times just his tone, and he would have made her his in a good second. But with time comes knowledge and he was sure he’d have her now.

A person who loved him exactly the way he was. A person who could give him what he so desperately longed for in all the years of growing up; A person who can take in every aspect about him and still want to be with him. Every fiber in his being longed for a person someone like that he’d never let go of… much like his surrogate father Iruka. Yes. His “father” is Iruka-sensei and “mother”. So… he wasn’t alone, in the family sense… but in the way that a guy could care for a girl…

“You know we can’t just go and steal her…”

“Huh?” He jumped and turned to see both his surrogate mother looking at him.

“We don’t even know exactly where they are… Much less why come out of hiding now… And there’s only speculation…”

“Yeah… but it’s nice to dream, isn’t it?”

“Just don’t get lost in those dreams…” She walked away missing the slightly distraught look on his face.

“But it has to be her…”
