Chapter 1

Dearest Hinata,

I saw you yet again today, but of course, you didn't see me. You never do.

Your long, midnight blue hair was giving off a radiant glow under the sun. Your eyes were as beautiful as ever, the soft, caring expression I always recognize as I look into them. Every day that passes by with you not with me feels like a piece of heart is breaking off. Piece by piece…

But, that is my own fault. I hope someday I somehow get the courage to admit I love you and tell you who I am. I hope you too will have the courage to say you love me.

You don't have you worry about me Hinata, I am not a stalker. I hope that you don't think this way of me. I am merely an…an admirer.

Love always,

Stranger

Hinata sighed as she put the letter down on her desk. This was the seventh letter she had received from the 'stranger.'

The letters were always from the mailbox. Always sealed in a purple envelope.

There was never an address on them. There was only just her name.

Hinata.

None of the letters yet had hinted who it could be.

Naruto? No, he couldn't have written such a beautiful letter…

Shikamaru? No, he was dating Ino. He wouldn't cheat. That wasn't like him.

Kiba? No…Kiba thought of her as a sister. Even she knew that.

Neji? Her cousin that protected her? Her cousin she only loved in a brotherly way? There was a chance…a small chance…could it be Neji?

Sasuke? Sasuke had a whole mob of fan girls…of course he wouldn't like me…

Hinata gave up in defeat, she couldn't figure out who it was. There were loads of people in this village that could be her secret admirer.

Who knows? Her secret admirer might even be a girl!

Hinata shuddered at the thought.

"Who could it be? There's a million of people in Konoha! "

Hinata walked over to her bed and picked up her mobile phone.

Whenever she got a letter from the 'Stranger' she always called Tenten.

She was one of her best friends.

Tenten was like the big sister she never had.

Hinata hurriedly dialed Tenten's number and waited patiently as the phone rang.

The phone ringed for a few times before Tenten's cheerful voice chirped into Hinata's ear.

"Hi! Tenten speaking."

"O-Oh…Tenten? This is Hinata." Hinata said into the phone.

"Oh, hey Hinata! What's up?" Tenten said.

"I got a l-letter from the 'Stranger' again Tenten."

"The stranger?" Tenten sounded excited, " Read out what he wrote! It's always so romantic."

Hinata smiled, " Okay, wait a second. I have to go get it."

"Okay!"

Hinata gently placed the phone on her bed and walked over to her desk.

She picked up the paper, being careful not to rip it. He always wrote on such flimsy, thin paper.

She walked back to the bed and flopped onto it.

"Tenten?" Hinata picked up her phone.

"Yup! I'm here. You can start reading." Tenten sounded like an over eager child waiting for her night time story to be told.

Hinata giggled before she started reading out the letter. After she finished, she heard Tenten sigh out happily.

"Those letters always make me feel happy for some reason." She said to Hinata.

Hinata was just about to say they made her feel happy too, but-

"HINATA! LUNCH TIME!" Hanabi busted into her big sister's room.

Hinata sighed.

"Tenten. I trust you heard that." She said into the phone.

Tenten laughed. " Yeah, I got to go too. Lunch awaits!"

"Okay, I'll you at school tomorrow then." Hinata said.

"Okay! Bring that letter! We have to show it to Ino and Sakura!"

"Okay, I'll remember." Hinata giggled again before hanging up.

During Lunch

"Neji nii san?" Hanabi poked her bigger cousin.

"Hn?" Neji kept on spooning rice into his mouth, " What?"

"Can you help me with my kunai practice after lunch?" Hanabi pouted cutely.

"No. I'm busy."

Hinata perked up. All the jounins were gone on a big mission, so no team had any missions today...so why was Neji busy?

Practice?

"Neji nii san, what do you have to do?" Hinata asked Neji curiously.

Neji's cheeks turned a slight pink, " I have a date."

Before Hinata or Hanabi could question him further, he stood up quickly and went out of the dining room, leaving an open mouthed Hinata and Hanabi.

"Neji nii san has a girlfriend?!!"

Hinata's room

Hinata frowned. Neji had a girlfriend? Well, that crossed him out of the list of her secret admirers.

But, how would she tell Tenten?

"Tenten likes Neji nii san! How can I tell her?!" Hinata thought sadly.

Suddenly a voice interrupted her thoughts. "Hinata sama." There was a knock on the door.

"Oh," Hinata got up from the beanie bag she was sitting on, " Come in."

Neji came into her room.

"Oh, hi Neji nii san." Hinata said, smiling. He was wearing jeans and a nice black sweater.

"He actually looks quite nice…probably for the date…"

"Hinata sama, I'm going out now, so I was wondering if you needed anything." Neji shuffled his feet on the floor.

"Awww, so sweet. He seems to be nervous." Hinata thought, her smile getting wider.

"No, no. You can go." She waved her hand, " If you don't mind me asking…who is the lucky girl??"

Neji blushed faintly. "Sakura."

"WHAT!!??!!??!!?? SAKURA?!"

"Sakura?" Hinata managed to keep her voice normal.

"Yeah." Neji smiled a bit before he walked out Hinata's door, " See you later."

After he went out, Hinata went crazy.

"SAKURA??!!" Hinata clutched at her head, talking to herself. " Why would Sakura say yes to Neji?! Me, Tenten, Ino and Sakura are all best friends! She knew Tenten liked him!"

She paced up and down her room, thinking.

"I can't tell Tenten this…but she's going to find out at school anyway, won't it be better if I tell her?"

Hinata nodded her head, determined. She was going to tell Tenten first.

With a slightly shaky hand, Hinata pressed 3 for a quick dial on her phone.

Tenten answered cheerfully as usual. " Hello? Tenten speaking!"

"Tenten…" Hinata paused, she was starting to have doubts.

"Yeah? Is that you Hinata, speak louder! I can't really hear you." Tenten said.

"Tenten…Sakura has a boyfriend!" Hinata managed to blurt out.

"A boyfriend?! Cool! Who?" Tenten asked.

Hinata breathed in. "Neji."

No answer. Tenten was silent.

After a few minutes of the awkward silence, Hinata spoke. " Tenten, are you still there?"

"Y-Yeah…" Tenten sounded like she was about to cry. " H-Hinata, I just remembered. I have…art homework to f-finish. I'll call you later k? Bye."

"Click."

She hung up before Hinata could do anything.

"Tenten…" Hinata sunk onto her bed.

"Did I do the right thing?"

Hinata sighed and got out her now seven letters from the stranger.

She had nothing else to do, so she decided she would re-read them before dinner.

"Tenten…even though I know you feel angry at Sakura, I can't help hoping we can still stay friends with her…"

The next day at School

The limousine pulled up at the front gates of Konoha School.

"Hinata sama, Hanabi sama, Neji sama, we have arrived at Konoha School." The driver told them through the little window separating the main part of the car and the driver's part.

Hinata nodded and smiled at him.

Then she got off the limousine with Neji and Hanabi following after her.

"Neji nii san! How was the date yesterday?" Hanabi squealed.

Neji blushed yet again. " It was…different."

"Different?" Hinata laughed. That was typical Neji.

Suddenly, another voice interrupted their conversation.

"NEJI!" Sakura bounded out of nowhere at latched herself onto Neji's arm.

"Oh, hi Sakura." Neji smiled down at her.

"Good morning Sakura." Hinata said.

"Oh hey Hinata. I'm not going to join you today at break okay? You can see why." Sakura winked and looked up at Neji.

Hinata grimaced slightly before managing an, " Okay." through gritted teeth.

Suddenly, Hanabi saw one of her friends. " Bye Hinata nee chan! Bye Neji nii san! See you after school!" she ran off in the direction of the kiddy play ground.

"Neji want to get going to the playground?" Sakura asked.

Neji nodded. "Sure."

"Okay, lets go!"

Sakura gave a small wave at Hinata before she and Neji walked away into the high school playground, holding hands.

Hinata stood, rooted on the spot for a while before-

"Hey Hinata!"

Hinata recognized that voice straight away. Tenten!

Hinata turned to greet her friend. " Hi Tenten!"

Then, with a start, she realized what she was wearing.

"Tenten…what are you wearing?" Hinata asked, shocked.

"Oh this?" Tenten looked down on herself modestly, " It's not that weird is it?"

"YES IT IS!"

Tenten was wearing a very short, black mini skirt and a tight sleeveless light blue top. She had her hair down from their usual buns and black combat boots on.

Hinata was still in shock.

"C'mon Hinata! Lets go to the playground before morning break ends." Tenten grabbed Hinata's arm and practically dragged her to the playground.

There was a lot of wolf whistling as they walked.

Tenten smiled back at the boys and winked.

Hinata slapped herself mentally. "She's in denial…"

Finally, when they arrived at the play ground, Hinata thought she would have peace.

But, she was very, very wrong.

Almost half the boys in the playground came running over and started to ask Tenten out.

"Ack, Hinata lets go over there." Tenten led Hinata away from the mob of fan boys and they sat down on their usual bench.

"Anyways," Tenten flicked her hair back, " Did you bring the letter?"

"Yes, just wait a sec, let me get it." Hinata rummaged in her school bag and pulled out the purple envelope, " Here it is!"

"Cool!" Tenten snatched it out of Hinata's hand, " Lets read it again!"

Hinata nodded, then she and Tenten started reading it over again, not noticing certain someones watching them…

"Hey Neji, what are you looking at?" Sakura pouted as her boyfriend ignored her.

She craned her head to see what he was so transfixed in.

Tenten.

Sakura gasped. Tenten looked to…so different from usual! What was she doing in those clothes?!

Then she saw the purple paper that Tenten and Hinata were giggling over.

She felt something rise up in her.

"Reading the secret admirer letter without me! …but where's Ino?"

Suddenly, anger at her friends over took her and she tried to get Neji's attention.

"Neji!" she shook him, " C'mon! We're going." She started to walk to the school.

Neji snapped out of looking at Tenten and followed Sakura. "Where are we going?"

"The…" Sakura thought, " The library."

"Okay."

Sasuke stared at the Hyuuga girl, sitting there innocently on the bench.

The morning sun illuminating her face, giving it an angelic glow…

"She's so beautiful…how can someone be so beautiful?"

Shikamaru noticed that his friend wasn't really paying attention to what he was saying.

"Hey Sasuke?" Shikamaru nudged him, " Sasuke!"

"Hn?"

"What are you so interested in…"

Shikamaru looked in the direction where Sasuke was looking and found himself looking at Hinata and Tenten.

"Hinata and Tenten? Hmmm…"

"What?" Shikamaru said, " Got a crush on Tenten too?"

"No." Sasuke frowned.

"Oh, then it's Hinata?" Kiba came out of nowhere.

"No." Sasuke growled.

"Jeez. Don't need to act all grouchy, I'm just trying to piss you off…" Kiba trailed off at the look on Sasuke's face.

"If that's what you're trying to do, you're succeeding." Shikamaru whispered.

"Eeeep!" Kiba ran off screaming.

"…"

"This is so troublesome…"

"Hinata, why can't I have a secret admirer too!" Tenten sighed as she gave the letter back to Hinata, " Your secret admirer is always so romantic.."

"Tenten, I bet there are some boys who like you." Hinata tried to reassure her friend.

"Of course there are!" Tenten said, distress rising in her voice. "When boys see me dressed up like this," she gestured down to her clothes, " Of course they'd like me! But I want someone to like me for who I really am!"

Hinata didn't really know what to say. Luckily, the bell saved her.

"Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong!"

Tenten got up from the bench. " See you next break Hinata."

Since Tenten was older than her and Ino and Sakura, she was a year higher. Like Neji.

"Okay Tenten." Hinata gave a weak smile, " I'll meet you back here."

"Kay, see you." Tenten walked off.

Hinata stared after her.

"What good is it to have a secret admirer and not even know who he is? It wouldn't be a secret anymore, but still…" Hinata sighed to herself and started to walk towards the school building.

Once again, she didn't notice a certain someone watching her…

Okay, fine. So there isn't a word 'someones'.

But still, what else could I say ?!!

This is my first attempt at a sasuhina, so please read and review :)

P.S. If you didn't get it, Ino is sick.
