"Thank You"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"That girl is not fit to be the clan leader of the Hyugas." My father yelled. I flinched. I never

heard my father sound so shrewd, unless it was while he trained me. "Please, Hiashi. Hinata is only

a child!" Ko argued. I smiled a bit, Ko is my bodyguard. He always supports me even in these tough

times. Hiashi shot him a murderous glare. "She will never be one of us." He snapped. As he

walked towards me, I froze. His eyes were filled with a burning rage. I'm scared. He forcibly took

my arm and dragged me to my room. "Ko, get my kunai." He demanded. My eyes widened. What?! Ko

frowned but reluctantly retrieved it. Hiashi slammed the door open and faced me away from him. Ko

handed him the kunai. No. At that moment, I realized. He was going to cut my hair. Hiashi picked up

my long dark hair and gently brushed it. I shivered as his cold fingers brushed against my neck.

"Hinata, you know what happens when this hair is cut." He whispered to me. I knew. I knew exactly

what it meant. "Father, please stop it!" I cried. Without hesitation, he cut off my hair. "You are

now officially rejected from this household. We do not need a weak Hyuga. You've disappointed me,

Hinata." My father stood up and closed the door shut. He left me in the dark. I picked up my hair

that was scattered on the floor. I cried. Harder than I could have ever cried. Ko stepped in. "Miss

Hinata, I am so sorry." I glanced up at him. "I'm sorry that I'm so weak." I whispered. I can't

take this anymore. I want to run, far away, and I did. Ko tried to stop me as he grabbed my arm. I

pulled away and ran as fast as I could. It was late, I didn't know where to go. "The Academy." I

mumbled to myself. I ran through the Konoha streets. Every turn I made, I stumbled. I was afraid,

terrified of what would become of me. I looked down, trying to shake away the tears. Suddenly, I

heard the creaking of a swing. I looked up and heaved a sigh. With sweat dripping down my forehead,

I relaxed as I sat down on the swing. I gently pushed myself, gazing at the moon. I remember the

first time I was here. A boy my age, named Naruto Uzumaki. For some reason, everyone in Konoha had

ignored him, isolated him from their world. He was always alone, but I always watched. Despite his

failures, he never gave up. I always admired him for that. Once he is knocked down, he just gets

right back up and smiles. I wish I could be like him, as strong as him. Unlike him, I'm the failure

itself. I was born of the great leader Hiashi, my father. My skills have proven to be the weakest.

I shook my head. "No, stop it." I said to myself. "Stop what?" a voice came out from the distance.

I gasped. A small, dark figure made its way towards me. As the moonlight hit his face, I knew

exactly who it was. "Naruto..." I mumbled. Immediately, I blushed. "Oh I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean

to sit in your swing." I stuttered. He chuckled. "It's not my swing." He said. His blue eyes stared

at me for a while, he glanced at my hair. His expression changed, a sort of sorrowful look emerged.

"I know what that feels like." He sighed as he sat by the tree. I sat up and joined him, sitting

next to him. The tree was a cherry blossom tree. One that bloomed beautifully. The beautiful branch

that held the swing was indeed the cherry blossom tree's. "What what feels like?" I asked. He

smiled sadly. " To be rejected." He mumbled. I held my breath. He glanced at me. He held out his

hand and touched my hair. "Why were you banished?" He asked. I began to cry. "I'm weak, that's

why." I cried. He closed his eyes, a light breeze hit his face. "Maybe you are weak, but it all

depends on you. If you have the will to be stronger, you are strong. If you just give up, there's

no point crying about it." He said. His words were a little harsh, but for some reason gave me

hope. I laughed, wiping my tears. "You never give up. You're always trying your best. You are

stronger than I'll ever be." I said. Naruto smiled. "Thank you." He paused. "What was your name

again?" He asked. "H-Hinata. Hinata Hyuga." I responded. "Hinata, huh? You always gave me a weird

feeling. You are really shy and weird, but I like people like you." He grinned. "Believe it!" I

covered my face, to hide my laughter and my embarrassment. Now that I think about it, Naruto is

really...good-looking. I blushed even harder. "H-Hey! Hinata-chan are you okay?" He asked. Oh god,

I'm going to pass out. As I began to lose consciousness, Naruto caught me in his arms. My face was

as red as a tomato. I really don't want to pass out right now. "You are really interesting, you

know that?" He laughed. I removed myself from his arms and laid down. "The moon is really pretty

tonight." I smiled. Naruto rested his arms behind his head. "Yeah, sure is." He mumbled. My heart beat fast,

what if he could hear it. I don't know why but, I feel so warm around him. I wish he could wrap his

arms around me, maybe then would I feel safe. He glanced at me, our eyes met. We stared at each

other for what seemed to be an eternity, until Naruto reached out his hand and grabbed mine. He

squeezed it tight. "You and I, I guess you could say we know what it's like to feel alone. Being

different is almost like not belonging." He spoke. He sounds so lonely. I squeezed his hand back.

"But what's great about being different is the other people who accept you for being who you are."

Naruto's eyes widened. I wondered if my words had gotten to him. "I hope you will be able to change

yourself, to become a stronger person. I believe in you, Hinata." I nodded enthusiastically. As we

stared up at the stars, Naruto looked as if he were deep in thought. I blushed. Maybe I'm not alone

anymore. I promise...I'll become stronger. I want you to look at me, Naruto. I want you to watch

me. Because today, has been the happiest day of my life. In all of my failure and all of my tears,

Naruto's radiant smile had saved me. Because of you Naruto, I was given hope. So for that, "Thank

you, Naruto." I whispered to him. Ko had finally caught up to us, I said my goodbye to Naruto. He

yawned as he left. As Ko pulled me, I looked back. "Miss Hinata, please do not associate yourself

with that boy." He said. I ignored Ko's order. I'll make my father proud, I'll show you. Just watch

me, Naruto-kun.

In the end, Hinata is a strange mix of an extreme shyness and frailty with strength and power. Her story is sad though. She could only bloom for someone whom she would want to make proud of her. Unfortunately, her father didn't know how to become that person. Good that there was Naruto around ^^ Nice job!
