I try my best to try to convince Naruto to go back to kendo, he may say that he hates it but I can see it in his ocean blue eyes. He loves kendo as much as he did even back then… But how do I get him to stop saying he hates it, and rejoin the club? I don't want to anger him yet, I seem to be doing just that…

Hinata sighed softly as she walked down the hall of the dorm, class had just ended for the day and she didn't know what to do. It seemed that ever since yesterday that Naruto had decided to keep to himself, and that had her worried. Running a hand through her hair, she crossed her arms while she was in deep thought. 'What can I do… Naruto is still upset about Sakura and the kendo and… oh everything is such a mess…' thought Hinata with a sigh.

It seemed that no matter what she did, it only seemed to cause Naruto more anger within his heart… she could easily see the anger through his eyes as she had mentioned kendo. Looking up at the ceiling, she tried to think on what she could do to try to get Naruto to listen… to try to get him to rejoin the kendo club. But, no matter what, her plans didn't work… maybe she should just go on home and forget this had ever happened…

"Hyuuga-san, you have a package from home." Said a man in the office of the dorm building. Hinata turned and stared at the man as he held out a package for her. "This is heavy, be careful taking this to your dorm? Do you need help?"

"No thank you." Hinata said with a smile before giving the man a small bow and heading off toward her room. Maybe some sweets would cheer her up a little bit. Though, she wondered just how many sweets could have been placed into this box. So many thoughts had entered her mind and made her smile happily. Sighing softly, the young woman tried to think on what she- wait! Maybe Naruto would like to share some of these sweets with her!

Smiling from just the thought of sharing her sweets with Naruto gave her a bit of a skip to her step. Maybe if she was lucky, Naruto would like something sweet to eat. Giggling to herself, the young woman kept on walking forward only to blink when she saw two teens walking up to her, noticing that it was Shikamaru and Chouji. Chouji of course, was wearing the school uniform, maybe haven't had the time to get dressed. As for Shikamaru, he wore a fish net t-shirt, and a simple white jacket over it leaving it unzipped. Black pants and matching black sneakers.

And as usual, he looked tired and bored.

"Hey Hinata." Said Chouji with a bright smile on his face.

"Hey…" said Shikamaru with a yawn, digging his hands into the pockets of his jacket.

Hinata just smiled a bit as she said "Hey guys how are you?" She shifted the package in her arms, noticing that it was a little heavy in her arms. Taking a deep breath, she listened to what the guys were telling her, telling her about their day such as how Chouji had gone to the all you can eat buffet, and how Shikamaru mostly just played shoji all day. From what she gathered that was a typical day for those two. It was amazing that they were best friends; they were opposites of each other.

"What's this Hinata?"

"Just some stuff from America… I'm not really sure what it is though it could be some manga, some sweets, and some letters."

Suddenly, when Hinata had looked back up after looking at the package, she saw that Chouji and Shikamaru were near her… very near her. "Hinata, we're friends right?" said Shikamaru in his usual bored tone of voice.

"And friend's 'share' right?" Chouji said… from what she's gathered, Chouji had been captured by the word 'treats' and Shikamaru possibly wants to check out the manga that she had gotten since in a way they are books to read and he did love books. Giving a small nod, Hinata sighed and walked allowing them to follow her. Right now, there was nothing more that she could do for the time being… least, she could share but they'd just have to make sure to save some for Naruto so he would at least have a shot at getting some sweets.

Taking a deep breath, the young woman looked up when she saw that there was someone at the door to her room. "Kiba?" She saw that Kiba had been pacing around holding some kind of small box in his hands. Face bright red as if he was nervous or embarrassed about something.

Suddenly, his back had straightened from when he heard his name being called. Turning around, Kiba smiled as he said "Hey Hinata… sorry, I thought you were inside." He gave a nervous laugh, which of course just made Hinata stare in confusion and worry. "I… well, I have some sweet bean buns from home and I thought I'd share some."

The word that caught her attention was 'sweets'. Hinata did have a bit of a sweet tooth herself. Smiling brightly, the young woman fished out her key, (setting down the box of course) and unlocked the door of the dorm before walking in with everyone. Hinata wondered what would be in the box per say, maybe some of those awesome sweets she used to share with her friend TenTen. Walking into the dorm room, everyone grabbed a seat on the floor as she sat at her desk and started to open the box.

Inside were snacks, manga's and a few pictures of course and letters. She bet that TenTen wanted to make sure that she had something from home to keep her going… and, so she wouldn't be homesick. Smiling a bit, Hinata picked up some letters that were in the box as everyone grabbed a snack or a manga to check out.

As she looked through the pictures, she was glad that TenTen only sent the ones of her in the uniform and not the ones in dresses. Laughing softly, the young woman set down one of the pictures and started to go through the letters when Kiba looked over her shoulder though, mostly at the picture. "Is… is this… y-your g-g-g-girlfriend?!" Kiba said with fear in his voice.

"No, she's my best friend. We've known each other since we were five." The blue haired woman said with a smile before nibbling on a cupcake.

Kiba sighed softly before sitting back on the floor, not really sure why he was jealous at the moment. Though, this one letter she got made her eyes widen. It was a letter from her cousin Neji… To my cousin, if you want a boyfriend wear this dress. And, no bad boys my little cousin… Hinata's widened even more before she got out of her seat and went to make sure that the other boys didn't see the dress. Suddenly, Shikamaru pulled at a piece of cloth, making Hinata's eyes almost fall out of her head. Rushing to it, the young woman grabbed it in her hand and pulled it down as she said "That's nothing! Don't worry, I'll deal with it later." She was laughing nervously and tucked it deeper into the box, burying it with the sweets.

Looking up, the young woman smiled when she saw Naruto walking into the room and sighed softly. Maybe he didn't like the fact that there was someone else in the room besides herself. Frowning, the young woman held out a candy bar as she said "would you like one Naruto? They're from America…"

Looking at the bar, the blonde man nodded and took the bar from her hand, saying a 'Thank you' as he nibbled on it. Otherwise, he didn't really say anything else. It was almost as if he was in his own little world, maybe a world that was filled with kendo, which of course would be nice. Hinata did want to try out for kendo, maybe if she did that… yeah, that could work!

If she joins kendo than maybe there is a chance that Naruto would want to join the kendo club with her. That would be amazing, that was for sure. Grinning from ear to ear, the young woman giggled mostly to herself, happy that no one else would be able to hear her laughing like she was. Though, she couldn't really be sure how that would work but it doesn't hurt to try… right?

Taking a deep breath, Hinata walked back to the dorm after class. On the way home, she had taken a membership form to join the kendo club. Smiling, the young woman set the paper on the table and headed on into the bathroom to have a quick shower. Least that way, she wouldn't stink since she did have a nice run in gym today.

Though, as she started to strip in the bathroom, the young woman wondered if Naruto would join kendo again… there was so much that she had to see, and the one was also to see him in kendo and perform in front of her eyes. Just thinking about it made her smile a little bit… Sighing softly, the young woman walked into the bathroom and pulled the curtain closed as she started to wash herself up. If there was one thing that she was thankful for, it was that she didn't have to stink like a boy.

Tilting her head back, the young woman allowed the water to wash away her troubles. Hm… maybe she could give Kenta a walk today that would be nice. Smiling at the thought, the young woman grabbed some shampoo and started to lather up her hair as she sighed in content. Yeah, showers always made her feel a little better, never understood why that was but hey, she wasn't complaining.

Finishing up her shower after washing out all of the shampoo, the young woman dried herself off, got dressed and pulled her hair back in a high ponytail to let the motion of walking, turning her head and so on to dry her hair. Smiling, she walked to the desk and blinked when she saw Naruto standing by the desk holding the form in his hand. "Oh, hi Naruto… didn't know you were home." She said with a smile before walking over to grab the form from his hand… only to gasp when he grabbed her wrist and squeezed it.

"Naruto you're hurting me!" shouted Hinata before Naruto slammed her back to the wall, his eyes filled with rage and anger. Something that even Hinata had never seen on him before. Looking at him with fear, her eyes shining with unshed tears from the stare… no, from the glare that he was giving her.

"How many times do I have to keep telling you?! I don't want to join the kendo club! Just stop trying to force me to do something I have repeatedly told you that I don't want to do!" shouted Naruto before slamming his own fist into the wall and walked out of the room. Hinata just stood there, her eyes widened in shock and fear. Body shaking from what Naruto had just told her… that was something that she hadn't expected… he didn't even give her time to understand that… it wasn't for him that it had been for her…

Sliding on the wall, the young woman sat down on the floor, her skin a little pale, tears still streaming down her face as she tried hard not to cry at what had just happened.

"Hey Hinata, what's with all the yelling? I could hear it through the walls and- hey you okay?" Kiba said as he opened the door, only to be shocked when he saw that Hinata was on the floor. Frowning with worry and concern, he walked over to Hinata as he knelt in front of her. "What's wrong?" He asked; worry clear in his eyes and voice.

"I made Naruto mad." She said with a fake smile, adding "I brought a kendo form so I could join and he thought that I brought it for him. He… he didn't give me time to explain…" Hinata then started to shed tears, though still had a smile on her face as if trying hard not to make Kiba worry about her. Though, what Kiba was thinking made him even more confused. 'I want to hug him so badly right now…' Kiba thought with a sigh before ruffling Hinata's wet hair. "I'll talk to him." Kiba said before pushing himself up and walking away…

If there was one thing he didn't like, it was seeing his friends upset about anything. Though, for some reason it seemed to be stronger with Hinata… 'Am I really gay or bi?!'

Shaking his head, Kiba had gone to look for Naruto and give him a piece of his mind. Seeing Hinata cry like that made him want to beat the crap out of anyone that came across him. Though, at the moment he was mainly focused on beating the crap out of Naruto. Damn it, Naruto needed one hell of an attitude adjustment that was for sure. Growling, Kiba already had a good idea on how he was going to teach Naruto a lesson with yelling at someone or even acting before thinking!

Walking down the hall of course was Naruto, his hands dug deep in his leather jacket, something he sometimes wore if he was wearing an orange jacket and black jeans. Something that he always did now and again… least, when he was also in a bad mood. Running up to Naruto, Kiba grabbed the blonde's shoulder, turning him around before slugging him in the face.

"What the fuck Kiba?!" shouted Naruto.

"That's for making Hinata cry!"

"Hey, he was trying to get me to join the kendo club! He had the form and everything-"

"That form was for him you idiot!"

"… What?"

"Hinata was going to join the kendo club. You just assumed that it was for you. And because of you yelling at him he's in the dorm room crying." Kiba narrowed his eyes into slits, just stared at the blonde as he looked away from the brown haired teen. Naruto ran a hand through his hair before pushing himself up to his feet rubbing his cheek. Kiba growled and looked ready to punch him once more. Though, Naruto held up his hand as if saying 'I get it'.

"I'll talk to him…" whispered Naruto, his eyes closed… he knew that this wasn't going to turn out alright… Kiba though just nodded though knew that if Naruto did anything to hurt Hinata he was going to get more than a punch to the face.

Now, Naruto walked back to his room and sighed softly… this wasn't going to go very well. He felt like this was going to go to hell since he did made Hinata cry but damn it, why did he care about her if she cried or not? Frowning, the young man opened the door and saw that Hinata was still on the same spot from when he left. Frowning, he mumbled something under his breath before sitting down next to the young woman.

"You wanted to know why I quit kendo right…?"

Hinata blinked and looked up at Naruto with wide eyes. As if she hadn't expected him to say anything about the reason of him no longer playing kendo. "I was going to go to the championships. But, the pressure was getting to me I guess." Naruto began as he leaned back into the wall. Taking a deep breath, he looked up at the ceiling as he said "I was on my way to participate but… I saw Sakura walking down the street to get to me but she didn't see the car coming."

"Naruto…"

"I didn't want to see her get hurt, even though I'm mad at her for just using me like she did… but, I guess I also just gave into the pressure for I pushed her out of the way and took the blow. I hurt my leg and couldn't go to the championship anymore. Ever since, I haven't gone back, not wanting to feel that pressure anymore…"

"Naruto why… why did you tell me all of this I thought you hated me…"

"I don't hate you. I guess I was just upset that I had a fan that wanted to see me perform in kendo but couldn't because of my old injury…" Naruto whispered before pulling Hinata close to his side, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "I'm not going to run away anymore Hinata. I'll perform… I'll go back to kendo… and… I'm sorry for making you cry."

Hinata just stared at him with wide eyes before smiling at him with tearful eyes. "You're not supposed to cry Hinata!" Naruto said with shock on his face.

"I'm just so happy!"

Naruto sighed before pulling Hinata close to his chest as he said "use my shirt; I don't have a tissue…" Hinata just laughed at that as she nuzzled his chest, only to blush and pull back, trying hard not to faint right about now. This was going to be a tough thing to do but at least… she would finally be able to see Naruto perform at long last…
