Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the songs mentioned. I don't make any $ from this.

A/N: Welcome to the very first fanfic I wrote! Bawhahahah! Hopefully you will enjoy reading it. This story came after me not writing for about 10 years. I would like to thank my betas HJ Trek, who has very little interest in anime. Well, she likes Sailor Moon and that's all. She does like to read and write and will prevent me from sounding like a complete moron. Also, thanks to Rhonda, I know I can always count on you for an honest opinion. Anyhow, please enjoy and honest reviews are always welcome. Hinata has a habit of thinking out loud, kinda like a brain filter is missing. Kinda like she's thinking it but accidentally says it out loud. I do that all the time!! lmao And I also like to tag songs to some of my chapters, sometimes the song is relevant to the chapter and sometimes it's just what I happened to be listening to when I wrote the chapter.
Thanks for reading! -Ani

This song just seemed to fit. Lol

Stone Sour - Through Glass
I'm looking at you through the glass.
Don't know how much time has passed.
Oh, God, it feels like forever,
But no one ever tells you that
Forever feels like home,
Sitting all alone inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass.
Don't know how much time has passed.
All I know is that it feels like forever,
But no one ever tells you that
Forever feels like home,
Sitting all alone inside your head.

"How do you feel?" That is the question,
But I forget you don't expect an easy answer.
When something like a soul
Becomes initialized and folded up
Like paper dolls and little notes,
You can't expect a bit of hope.
So while you're outside looking in,
Describing what you see,
Remember what you're staring at is me

How much is real? So much to question.
An epidemic of the mannequins contaminating everything,
We thought came from the heart.
It never did right from the start.
Just listen to the noises,
(Null and void instead of voices.)
Before you tell yourself
It's just a different scene,
Remember it's just different from what you've seen.

I'm looking at you through the glass.
Don't know how much time has passed,
And all I know is that it feels like forever,
But no one ever tells you that
Forever feels like home,
Sitting all alone inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass.
Don't know how much time has passed,
And all I know is that it feels like forever,
But no one ever tells you that
Forever feels like home,
Sitting all alone inside your head,

And it's the stars, the stars, that shine for you,
And it's the stars, the stars, that lie to you

Chapter One

When I land on the next tree, I'm stopping to pull my hair up, thought Hinata, as she launched herself to the next branch. They had been traveling at full speed for about 3 hours and she was beat.

"Hey Hinata-chan, are ya tired?" laughed Kiba.

She finished tying her hair into a messy bun and listened to Kiba laughing, she was more worried about where exactly she was going to stay. If Ino was away on a mission, she could stay with Sakura, or she could ask Anko or Kurenai. "Ugh, I really need to find an apartment or something and fast," she thought.

"Hey Hinata-chan, you could stay with me!!!" yelled Kiba

Crap! Am I thinking out loud again? Fuck! Is he out of his mind? There is no fucking way I'm going to stay with him. Faking a grin she said, "Aww, Kiba-kun. That's really sweet of you, but don't you think your mom might get a little pissed about that?"

"Oh no, Akamaru and I have our own place on the Inuzuka property," replied Kiba.

"Kiba, did you consider the possibility that she doesn't want to stay with the biggest horn-dog Konoha's seen in 17 years?" snarked Shino. Shino couldn't figure out number one, why Hinata hasn't bitch slapped the piss out of Kiba yet. And number two, how Kiba could be so damn clueless.

The heir to the Hyuga clan was so bone tired by the time they reached the Konoha gate, she was toying the idea of staying the night at Kiba's house. "Oh man, I really need to stop with that fucking nonsense. Like I wanna get felt up in my sleep," she thought.

"Psst... Hinata-sama, you're thinking out loud again," the jounin at the gate smiled at her.

"Neji-san! When did you get back? How is Tenten doing? I heard she was in the hospital, was she hurt badly? No one knew any details yet when we were leaving," she asked her cousin.

"She is doing well and is at home, you should go visit her after you give your report to Lady Hokage," answered Neji.

Hinata glanced around quickly before asking, "Has Naruto returned from his mission yet?" It had been seven days since Naruto, Kakashi and Asuma had left to go to the Land of Wind.

"Sorry, we've not heard a peep out of them since they left. But I did just go on duty less than thirty minutes ago," Neji told her, as Genma nodded. As if she'd questioned the response.

"Okay, well thanks," she said as she crossed through the gate thinking, Naruto, please be safe.

As Hinata raised her hand to knock on Anko's door, Sakura walked past and told her the special jounin was on an extended mission. "Well, that's just frickin' great. I guess I'm staying at an inn tonight," Hinata grouched and in her mind, she was trying to budget an inn room. It was not working out.

"So Hinata... Have you seen Naruto since Jiraiya and he came back?" asked Sakura.

"Yeah, but he didn't see me. I did happen to notice he got taller and even cuter than he was before they left," she said turning pink.

"Yeah. He's gotten *a lot* cuter! Oh 'Nata, you gotta tell him how you feel," Sakura said.

"Pfft... He's in love with you, Sakura. He doesn't even know I exist. No, I take that back. He can't stand me," Hinata sighed."So, what are the chances of me staying at your place tonight?"

"Well, I totally would, but..." the pink-haired medic trailed off.

This meant Ino was home and their apartment was barely big enough for them. "I'm really sorry 'Nata. Have you tried talking to your dad? What about Kurenai? Or Kiba? I'm just messing with you about Kiba," laughed Sakura

"Kurenai has Asuma over and my dad is still pissed off about everything," Hinata said.

"Hey! If Asuma's back that means... Naruto's back too! Let's go find him so you can confess your undying love," yelled the pink-haired kunoichi.

"But, I need to shower and change! I smell like Akamaru," the heiress said as she felt the color creep into her cheeks.

"Well, come on! You can shower and change at my place. Ino's gone until late anyway and your clothes are still in my closet. Now, let's hurry," fussed Sakura, pulling Hinata by the wrist.
****

As the hot water poured over her body, Hinata couldn't help but look down at herself. "What if Naruto doesn't like the changes I've gone through? What if he has a girlfriend now? *ugh*," thought Hinata as she rinsed herself off.

"'Nata-channn, you're thinking out loud againnn," Sakura said in a sing-song voice, "And don't worry, every girl in Konohagakure would kill for those boobs of yours! Now, I have something new for you to wear."

Hinata just hoped she could eventually pay Sakura back for the new clothes. Hell, she probably made them, as she had made her several new outfits since the day she walked away from the Hyuga compound. No, she wasn't going to stress about her family problems right now.

"Hey, Temari's in town. Maybe you could stay with her?" suggested Sakura.

"Yeah, I ran into her earlier and she's staying at the Nara ranch. She's finally admitted that she's in *love* with Shikamaru. Like we haven't known that since the chunin exams three years ago," laughed Hinata as she tried on the new clothes. "There is no fucking way I'm wearing this, Sakura!" Hinata yelled looking at herself in the mirror, "My boobs are practically jumping out of this shirt! But then again, I do look pretty damn good though."

"Come on, you look awesome. If I didn't think Ino might walk in at any moment, I would totally be all over you right now," Sakura said, giving her an exaggerated wink.

"Uh, Sakura... Are you trying to tell me something?" Hinata asked, winking back at her.

"Let's move out!" Sakura said as she locked her door behind her.
****

As they got closer to the ramen shop, she could feel the butterflies start flapping in her stomach. Crap! He's not there. And he wasn't at Tsunade's office or the hot springs either. Damnit! He better be home, because I am bone fucking tired and we've walked all over the village looking for his punk ass, she thought with a slight frown.

As they walked towards Naruto's house, Sakura came up with a plan. Since they could see lights on they knew he was home. Sakura was going to lure him out him out the on the porch and Hinata was going to surprise him. She thought the plan was kind of silly, but hey, whatever. He'll probably hit me by mistake, knowing my luck, she thought. She didn't know why they couldn't both go up to the door like normal people, but she crouched behind the bushes anyway.

A/N: Just a quick note, in my mind, the older Hinata got the more assertive she became. I hate trying the write a stammer anyway. And oh yes, I went there with Sakura and Ino. Lmao, maybe I'll address that in another fic. -Ani
