*Hinata Point of View

I always wanted to change myself from day one. Ever since I started in the academy and had my first crush I wanted to. Uzumaki Naruto was my crush. With his spiky blond hair like the morning sun right in the middle of the day. His cerulean blue eyes that looked like the Sea of Japan. He always had a spunky attitude that lit up the entire day, but unfortunatly I blew my chance when I didn't tell him my feelings and now that fat forehead beast of a girl, Haruno Sakura, whom Naruto had a crush on for years had got to him first. Of course I was heart broken when I heard and witnessed it, but I got over it with the help of my over-protective cousin, Hyuuga Neji.

Even though I totally blew my chance I never stopped admiring Naruto. I'm still in my shy form and now I've decided to finally get out of this stage. Neji told me that I need to find a hobbie of some sort to relieve me of my low self-esteem. He was cruel when he said it but he said that maybe that was his way of showing he cared because it's not like Neji to give anyone advice, especially me, his wimpy cousin. Well now after much much thought I came up with an idea. I decided to play Hide and Seek, but it's not an ordinary Hide and Seek. I was going to write some notes and and post them on some trees in the training grounds. I already told Kiba, my best friend and Shino, my bug buddy, although I'm terribly afraid of bugs.

I told Neji about it also and told him not to read any of them as they were not meant for him. He had gotten an attitude for a few hours after my brief description to him and he confronted me about it. He told me how do I know that it will work and who will read it. Usually I don't argue with him but this was something I needed to do. Well I grabbed a few pieces of paper and slowly walked to the training grounds. I felt totally confident and everything. I was so happy but then the person I never though would ever be there just happened to be there.

Uchiha Sasuke was standing in the training grounds with his eyes closed. He had raven styled hair that looked similiar to a duck butt. I giggled to myself as I neared the area more and more. As I got closer I noticed he was sitting in an Indian/Japanese style focusing his chakra. I didn't want to disturb his training but this wasn't the time to back down because of the self-absorbed Uchiha brat. I neared closer and closer and pulled out a note and a senbon.

*Normal Point of View

Hinata manuevered her way around Sasuke because she didn't want to make him mad. She saw a nearby tree that looked perfect to put a note on and she hung it up. Hinata took a little bit of time to write what she thought was good enought and immediatly walked away because she felt she was being watched by some uknown force and she was sure it wasn't Sasuke. She looked back to see if Sasuke had moved even an inch but he was still in the exact place he was the first time. She left and thought about it.

'What if Uchiha-san reads what I wrote? I have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach...' She walked back towards the Hyuuga Manor to see if Neji wanted to do some brief training and afterwards go out for a walk and talk things over with him about his idea.

*Sasuke's Point of View

I walked towards the training area and noticed that no one was there which was perfect. Normally my day would consist of those stupid fangirls running wild like they had a disease or something. I sat on the ground Japanese style and closed my eyes as I got lost deep in thought. I sat there for a good bit and decided to just sit there and concentrate my chakra.

I heard some foot steps approach nearby and just when I thought I had enough trouble. I didn't bother opening my eyes or doing anything for that matter. Who ever the uknown person was I would just wait until he/she leave and then relax again. The footsteps died off and I relaxed again. I felt nervous afterwards because who ever that person was didn't bother approaching me or anything. I peeped one eye opened and looked around with a confused thought. I stood up and looked around feeling some uknown chakra. I walked to the source of the force and felt a tree. As I felt it I noticed it was camoflagued with the tree. At that exact moment I had gotten curious and took a note that I felt as I rubbed my hand against the tree. I took it and read it with one eye brow cocked up. The note read:

"This is the one and only. I got this great idea from a really great friend that I should try this. Normally I would never agree to this but I did anyway seeing it as a way to raise my low self-esteem. I immediatly got the idea that someone might read these of course but I shrugged it off because I didn't care. As long as it wasn't somebody that I disliked I'm ok. For anyone who found this letter let's play a little game of Hide and Seek.'

At that exact moment I felt the urge to just walk away but I just read a letter from whoever this person is. I took out a paintbrush and began to write back to the person. I smirked as I tucked it back in it's original place and walked away feeling somewhat anxious yet awkward as to why I replied back.

"Who ever you are I'm determined to play your little game of Hide and Seek."

*Hinata's Point of View

I awoke groggily this morning. For some uknown reason I was super tired. Not just from my little training with Neji but after I told him about that idea of mines he was furious. I was pretty sure that he was about to use 8 Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms on me but I decided against the thought. Besides he wasn't the type of person to do that to anyone although he did to Naruto once but that was strictly Chuunin Exams business. I stretched as I slowly lingered my way into my restroom and took a quick shower. I felt so relieved as I stepped out. I waltzed my way towards my wardrobe closet and opened it up. I peered inside of it and saw all of my clothes that I had gotten over the years. I even had clothes from when I was 12 which was so odd.

I smiled happily as I took a step inside of it. I looked through all the fantastic styles it had although sometimes I didn't like stepping a foot in here. This was however Phase 2 of my plan. In order to change my self I needed to get out of those shy clothes. I didn't want anything skimpy or boring so I pulled out a plum colored camosole and a lavender colored jacket with decorative designs. I grabbed some black capris and walked out and dressed. I sighed as I checked myself in the mirror. I wore my hair down like Neji's and tied it at the end.

I walked downstairs feeling oh so confident. My morning was great. I walked into the kitchen and immedialtly smelled pancakes and eggs. To top that off they were buttermilk pancakes with syrup that made it smell even better. You wouldn't believe who was cooking it....my sister, Hyuuga Hanabi. I instantly got the feeling that something was up because she only cooked when she wanted something and if she did she sure wasn't going to get anything out of me because were not close like that well when it comes to stuff like that of course. Neji walked into the kitchen quietly and I saw Hanabi's eyes light up. Neji ignored her and quickly looked in my direction. He didn't say anything but his eyes indicated that he wanted to talk.

At first I thought they would say something about my attire because I actually took the time of day to change into something I'd never wear. I began to eat once Hanabi placed the breakfast on the table. My eyes lit up as I fell into paradise the minute I took a savoring bite out of those pancakes. I forgot to mention that Hanabi was an excellent cook. She wasn't better than me but she was excellent. I glanced over at Neji who seemed to be enjoying his food just as much as I did. I decided to joke with them today because usually we'd joke every morning.

"Are those pancakes that good Neji?" He shot me a look and blushed a little as food was hanging from his mouth and syrup dripped from the tip of it.

It didn't help anymore because his cheeks were puffing which made him look even more ado.....funny. I managed to let out a laugh but not before choking on an egg that seemed to have went down the wrong part of my throat. I grabbed my milk and gulped it down and what made it even worst was that I sneezed. I felt terribly embarrased because milk came from my nose and it hurt. Hanabi just looked at me before laughing hesterically. Neji stifled out a laugh. I felt so embarrassed as heat began to rise towards my cheeks.

"It wasn't that funny Hanabi." She stopped laughing but met the after effects of it.

Neji managed to stop and remove himself from the table. He gazed towards me and gave me the 'look' and I walked out the kitchen. He tapped his foot impatiently as I walked out the front door to meet up him.

"Hinata what are you wearing?" He said it out of pure authority.

I simply looked at him for just a little.

"Well I just wanted to try and change my appearance. Maybe people will notice me more." I said it in a low tone because he gave me another look but it wasn't the 'look'. Just one of pure shock and suprise.

"I'm glad to see that you are trying. Is that 'Hide and Seek' game of yours working properly cause if you ask me..." I immediatly cut him of with a giggle.

"Yes it's working although I didn't check the note yet. Hopefully it will so be patient and there was no need for that emphasis. Is your 'friendly training' with Ten-Ten going as planned?" He blushed tomato red and turned facing the opposite direction.

I laughed again at his reaction.

"Well anyway I don't have any missions today so I'm going to check the note. Good luck with your 'friendly training' with Ten-Ten." He gave a nervous laugh as he walked back inside the house feeling totally embarrased.

I walked away more like power walked towards the training ground anxious to find out what was written. To my suprise no one was here today not even 'The Uchiha' so I was a little relieved. I checked the note and was very suprised to find what was written on it. Besides from what I wrote this is what the note said:

"This is the one and only. I got this great idea from a really great friend that I should try this. Normally I would never agree to this but I did anyway seeing it as a way to raise my low self-esteem. I immediatly got the idea that someone might read these of course but I shrugged it off because I didn't care. As long as it wasn't somebody that I disliked I'm ok. For anyone who found this letter let's play a little game of Hide and Seek.'

"I've decided to take your little challenge to find out who you are although it might be pretty obivious seeing as how no one in the village would ever think of doing anything as idiotic as this. I'm curious to find out who you are, but I won't put as much effort into it as you think I will. 'The one and only' is a pretty lame name from what I see so you can only be Naruto. Told you it was obvious, but I don't want to spoil it. Anyway when I get to it I'll find out who you are-Ignorer of all things foolish

I immediatly got the feeling of who it was but I didn't want to think it. I was furious.

'I'm idiotic huh....I'll show you!'

I pulled out a pen and wrote another note and stuck it under the previous note.

"Dear Ignorer of all things foolish,

I immediatly got the feeling I know who you are. Accusing me of having a foolish idea you say. Well I got a piece of advice for you....if it was so foolsih why did you reply or for that matter why did you even read it. The one and only is out. Oh and by the way I'm not Naruto and I'M NOT CURIOUS ABOUT YOU."


I walked away mad as below. I needed to tell Neji, or Kiba, or maybe even Shino. Feel my wrath loser.
End Notes:
I watch Naruto and not once had I ever seen Hinata stutter. EVER!
