I fear I am losing touch with reality. Today wasn't the first time I found myself ignoring my studies, transfixed by the pale flowing locks of pure pink that was Haruno Sakura. [SakuHina] Fluff: 2 Chapters in Alternating POV's

SakuHina is a very understated couple. I like it a lot. It's adorable and I seriously feel that there is not enough Naruto yuri on this site or any. There is not enough femmeslash at all, actually. Slash is overdone and girl/girl is purely ignored. On any given fanfiction site the number of lesbian stories against the number of gay ones is nearly five to one. I hope to help change that.

I am writing this story in two-parts with separate points-of-views. The first chapter is in Hinata's and the second in Sakura's. It's going to be quite fluffy. I don't know if it's out of character and I don't care. Like tons of people don't write OOC.

I love Kiba, I don't know if I've ever said that. I love KibaHina. I absolutely adore Team 8 in their entirety and think that Kiba is underused and under loved. Give Kiba some more love! That's one of the reasons I hate NaruHina, because Kiba obviously loves Hinata and Naruto doesn't care for her. He loves Sakura and people don't care if Kiba finds a one-and-only. Rarr! Kiba rocks! Rarr!

Okay, I'm all done ranting about how very much I love Kiba. (Don't get me started on Shino…)

This chapter is in Hinata's Point-of-View

EDIT (1/23/09): This thing needed a good edit. I went through it again and fixed simple grammar mistakes. It took about seven minutes for both chapters. I wanted it to make more of an impact not that I'm a better writer. I don't want my meanings to fade as time goes on because my writing isn't as good as it is now. Not that I'm like a best-seller or anything, I just think I'm doing better now and I wanted to re-do this.

Pairing:Sakura/Hinata

Warnings: This story is obviously shojo-ai! That means LESBIANISM, people! So if you don't like it don't fucking read it! I hate when people flame stories that say explicitly that they are girl/girl and people read them and are like "Oh my god, girls how gross!" Fuck off flamers.

"Pretty in Pink"

Chapter One: Pink

Pink…

Fluffy and happy things are pink. Things of great beauty and unsurpassable eloquence. Pure things, untouched by the rouge and disgusting world. Gorgeous things are pink. Things like… Haruno Sakura.

I fear I am losing touch with reality. Today wasn't the first time I found myself ignoring my studies, transfixed by the pale flowing locks of pure pink as they bobbed with the rate of her conversation with Ino.

It wasn't too long ago that I realized I love her. My thoughts had become consumed with my rose haired goddess. Entranced by her beauty I was consumed by her completely. She was my entirety and my everything.

Lesbianism was foreign to me. Not taboo, but it was unusual… exciting.

I know that I was in love with Naruto but it was a harmless crush, a way to discover who I was, what I wanted. I guess I'm happy that I loved him and I suppose a part of me always will. But I never had a chance, because he too fell for the beautiful magenta woman I was currently gazing at.

I tried to focus on Iruka-Sensei and ignore Sakura's beauty. Heh, like that would ever happen. I was spellbound, rapt in her loveliness. I was trapped in her loveliness like some sort of genjutsu. Possessed. There was no way I'd ever be able to go back to concentrating on ninja technique or whatever with her emanating beauty like a musky perfume.

I looked down at my paper. The one I was supposed to be taking notes on and I found it full of scribbles. I baulked as I looked over what I had written. The paper was covered in swirling cursive, snaking across the page like vines. The one that caught my eye was the small heart in the middle, with words drawn in the middle in frilly cursive.

Hinata & Sakura Forever

Had I really just written that? Jeezus, I really was losing my mind! I crumpled up the paper and tossed it into the garbage bin beside my desk. It occurred to me shortly after that I probably should have shredded it… oh well.

I don't think I've ever been so relieved to hear the phrase "Class dismissed" because as soon as Iruka-Sensei said it, I shot out of my chair and out the door like someone had lit a rocket up my ass. I needed to get out of there. I needed to beat the shit out of practice dummy or something. I needed to forget everything.

I left the Academy and headed towards my team's training grounds. No sooner had I gotten to the corner of the woods did I run headlong into Kiba. I flew backwards into the dirt-covered ground.

"What's your hurry, Hinata-Chan?" he asked, grabbing my dirt stained hand and pulling me up. I'd always liked Kiba. He was sweet with a tender, caring attitude and dog-like loyalty. And he never hesitated to help a teammate in need.

"I…" I began slowly. I didn't really know what to say. I ran it over in my mind. "Um, I recently realized that I'm a lesbian and am in love with Sakura." Yeah, right. That'd happen.

I decided on a good, believable lie.

"I saw Naruto-Kun and I ran." Oh yeah, you rock Hinata. That's awesomely believable. I told myself, or rather assured.

Kiba sighed and smiled, his thin, dog-like eyes squinting up in that adorable smiley manner of his. He knew me all too well. I loved Kiba. He was such a good person. "Hinata-Chan, you're going to have to tell him eventually." He told me, ruffling my hair like an older brother. My heart swelled slightly, he was so damn sweet. I didn't even deserve to be talking to him.

"I— I know." I dropped my eyes, blushing." Maybe I can use this, I thought. I can pretend I'm talking about Naruto-Kun and actually be getting advice about Sakura! Oh, Hinata you are one brilliant ninja! I complimented myself, a hint of pride crossing my face.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Kiba asked. God he was easy to read. That was exactly what I wanted to hear. I smiled weakly and nodded.

"Well," I began. "I really, really like—uh—him but I don't think he even notices me. He's so in live with Sasu—um… Sakura-Chan." I caught myself just in time. I didn't need to blow this now. I blew a wisp of purple hair from my eyes and smiled as convincingly as I could. God was I lucky that Naruto had a crush on Sakura just like she did on Sasuke. I bit the inside of my cheek to keep my smile from faltering.

Kiba watched my expression. I hoped I looked halfway believable. I could feel my damn eyes giving my away. Ugh, damn my revealing Hyuuga eyes. I knew they were just screaming, "I'm a lesbian. I love Sakura-Chan… lock me away in an asylum because I'm a fucking SINNER LESBO!"

I saw his probing eyes study mine with ferocity. Even Akamaru, who was perched on Kiba's head, had woken up and was watching me as well. Kiba examined me, trying to figure out the secrets I hid behind my well-placed mask. I held my ground. This is my shinobi way… to hide that I'm a lesbian. Oh yeah, that's convincing.

"How long have you loved her?" he said finally, his voice barely a whisper. It took all I had not to gasp. How the fuck does he figure this stuff out?

"I—I her!? W—What are you talking about?" I stuttered. I tried desperately to act nonchalant but my cheeks were red and my voice was cracking. I knew the gig was up, but I wasn't ready to throw in the towel yet.

"Sakura-Chan, how long have you loved her?" Kiba asked again. His eyes became even more slanted as he demanded an answer. What was there to do? I had to give myself up. Goodbye world, it was fun. But I'm gonna get lynched for being a dyke.

I lowered my head, unable to look him in the eye. "I don't know, but I can't get her out of my mind…" I sighed. "You must think I'm sick." I started to cry. I knew I was losing it, but I couldn't stop the tears from coming. I didn't bother to wipe my eyes. The tears glistened, illuminating my eyes and setting them apart from my red, tear-stained face.

"You can kill me now…" I exhaled quietly.

I closed my eyes and waited for death to come, but it didn't. Instead, two strong arms pulled me into Kiba's body and the best bear hug I've ever experienced. He smelled like cinnamon and his clothing was soft in comparison to the rough feel of his calloused fingers as they wiped the tears from underneath my eyes. He kissed my forehead awkwardly, unsure of how long was too long. I leaned back to look up into his eyes for a moment, only to find them sparkling with sincerity as he said, "It's okay. Being a lesbian doesn't make you sick or wrong. It makes you, you. I'll be your friend forever."

"Thank you." My voice was hoarse as fresh tears began coating my cheeks. My sobs became uncontrollable and I buried my tear-streaked face into Kiba's chest. It was like being born anew. Knowing that someone supported me in life made me see that I wasn't crazy and I wasn't alone. Never alone…

Meanwhile, Sakura…

Sakura had forgotten her favorite kunai in the classroom.

After class, she went back into the room alone to grab it. She spotted a crumpled piece of paper on the floor. "I should throw it away…" she told herself, it was someone else's business and she didn't feel right invading their privacy.

"Pfft…" her Inner-Self scoffed, "Read it, who gives a fuck? It's just a note!"

She was probably right. Sakura leaned down to pick up the crumpled piece of paper. She unfolded it carefully and proceeded to read its short contents. She gasped and blushed.
