"You're FIRED!!!" Haru screamed.

"Wh…What?" Hinata asked astonished.

"YOU HEARD ME!!! OUR SALES LEVELS HAVE BEEN DROPPING BECAUSE YOU WON'T TALK TO THE CUSTOMERS!!! THEY THINK YOU'RE A WEIRDO!!!YOU'RE GIVING MY COMPANY A BAD NAME!!!" Haru yelled at the top of his lungs.

Haru was the boss of Haru Sales Corp. and had just given Hinata the sack. Haru had a large ego, was selfish, and only cared about himself and his riches. He had sacked Hinata because he and his company had been getting bad press recently. He had to blame his decreasing sales on someone, so he blamed it on Hinata, as he knew that she was too shy and quiet to argue with him.

Hinata dashed out the room crying her eyes out.

What an IDIOTIC bastard. I HATE HIM!!!

She wasn't crying because she had lost her job, but because she wanted to impress her dad, by making herself useful for once. Her father was caring, and hadn't told her she was a failure, but she knew he thought that inside. Hinata had always been a good employee, the only problem was that she was too quiet, and to be truthful, a sales job wouldn't be the greatest thing to do if you were shy. Hinata was also worried about how she would find a job. She didn't have much money to spare, as Haru had paid her lower wages than everyone else, and he thought she wouldn't notice. In actual fact she had, but he also knew that if she did find out about it, she was too scared of him to question him about it anyway. He knew he was safe from her questioning him about it, and gaining even more bad press.

Why does this always have to happen to me? Why? I have never done anything bad to anyone, so why punish me???

Hinata ran outside to the multi-storey car park, still crying her eyes out, and jumped straight into her Ford Fiesta Zetec. It was small and a light purple in colour, just the right size for her, and her favourite colour, which was why she picked it.

-Flashback-

Hinata was with her friend Yuzu when she went toKobe Motors. She had asked her to take her there because she knew if she went by herself she would get nowhere. She would be too shy to start a conversation with the salesmen (women), and even if they did come up to her and ask if she needed help she would have said, no, as not to bother them, or distract them from other people, who from her point of view, needed a car more than her.She was too kind.

Hinata had told Yuzu that she needed to buy a car and he said that he would go with her. She knew what she was like aswell; nothing would get done unless shewent aswellYuzu drove her over with her Black Land Rover. It was plain, and spacious, just like she usually picked them

"Wo…..wow" Hinata said, amazed.

The KobeMotors building was huge! It had 10 stories in total, each with a large variety of cars in them. Hinata had specific features in mind, and told them to Yuzu, so she knew the requirements to tell the salesmen. She only wanted a small car to travel to and from work with, and she wanted it to be her favourite colour-Purple.

Hinata didn't earn a high wage, so she wanted it to be reasonably priced, around 1,500,000 yen (about £6000). It had taken her ages to save up this much money, and she really wanted the car because every day she had to travel on the packed trains, just to get to central Tokyo. She lived a few miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Her father wasn't able to take her to work, as he was an IT consultant, and worked at SONY™, which was on the opposite side of Tokyo. Hinata was also too scared to walk to work, as she was frightened that she might of got lost in the busy streets, and she would have been too shy to ask directions. Her shyness was her worst feature.

Yuzu walked up to one of the salesmen and talked to him about finding a car. They were talking lots of technical stuff, which Hinata didn't understand so she just wandered off to look around at the higher priced cars.

What are they talking about? Oh well, I will just look around the expensive sports cars.

"Yu…..Yuzu-san, I am just going up to level 8" Hinata whispered, trying not to interrupt the conversation.

"Ok Hinata" Yuzu replied "Just be back in about 20 minutes, you might need to sign some stuff"

"O…Ok" Hinata spoke, as she happily skipped over to the elevator.

Oh My Gosh This is awesome!

Hinata was amazed by what cars there were. Large varieties of colours from black to white and a huge variety of cars were there.From Cadillac's, to Dodge Vipers, to Lamborghini's, to Ferrari, they had not forgotten a single make. She looked around the cars for a while and went back to the elevator. She pressed 3, and joined her friend at the desk.

"Hinata, please could you come and sign this stuff?" Yuzu asked.

"O…Of course Yuzu-San" Hinata weakly replied.

After 25 minutes of writing down details and signing page after page of forms, the salesman said that they had the car she had requested in the Garage outside. Hinata and Yuzu waited on the second floor in the waiting room for the salesman to come back upstairs.

This is taking ages; I'd better thank Yuzu though.

"Arigatou, Yuzu-san" She quietly told him

"That's ok Hinata, we both know that you wouldn't have been able to get the car if someone hadn't come with you, it was my pleasure" Yuzu replied.

"Ye…Yeah Yuzu-san, you're completely right" Hinata whispered while saying another quiet thank you.

"The car is ready for you Hinata-san" the salesman respectfully inquired.

"Arigatou Kenji-san" Hinata thanked and walked downstairs to the garage.

Hinata joyfully drove home in her new car, following her friend Yuzu. When she got home she just sat in the car happily taking in the smell of it. She had always loved that smell, and it was still going strong. She was so happy then…

-Flashback-

Hinata reminisced about when she first got her new car and a smile grazed her lips. Her shirt was becoming transparent from all the tears she had shed in the past few minutes.

I'd better get home before anyone sees me like this.

Hinata put her silver keys into the cars ignition and turned them forwards, starting the engine quietly. Hinata drove safely home, a huge gap between the speed limit and her actual speed.

Hinata soon got to the Hyuuga household, and slowly reversed into the driveway. It was large as the house was gigantic, but she still took her time reversing. She just didn't know what too careful was.

Hinata rushed to the front door, and pushed the bronze key into the old lock.

I hope no one is disturbed by me.

Hinata quietly snuck into the household, trying not to let family members see her in the present state she was in.

Please don't let anyone see, especially…

"Hinata, er…what happened to your blouse?" Hiashi questioned

Hinata burst into tears once again.

"Hinata, you have to tell me what's wrong"

"I-I l…lost my j-job!"

Hinata buried her head into her father's chest as he comforted her. She felt like shit, and didn't feel like cheering up right now.

"F…Father, I want to go and see Hanabi"

"Ok Hinata…but it's not the end of the world…you must realise that"

"Y-Yes I know that father" Hinata sobbed as she ran upstairs.

I really hope Hanabi knows what to do….or-or I won't get through this…

Hanabi was Hinata's 16 year old sister, who was her best friend aswell. She always consoled Hinata when she was feeling down, and this was definitely a time she needed her.

"H-Hanabi, I n-need your advice!"

"Ok Hinata, what's wrong…why are you crying?"

"I-I lost my job, and right now I just feel like…like…I can't explain it…"

"Oh Hinata…." Hanabi moved over from her bed towards Hinata and gave her a hug. Hinata never usually broke down this badly when something bad happened. She was wondering how Hinata would get through this, and it didn't help that Hinata was completely relying on suggestions. This just upped the pressure.

Hinata soon stopped crying with the help of Hanabi. She had always had this effect on Hinata, and that's why they were close as sisters.

"H-Hanabi…I-I just don't know what to do…I don't even know how to find a new job"

"Well I think you should ask father, I don't know how to get a job, I am only in high school myself!"

"S-Sure Hanabi, A-Arigatou nee-san"

Hinata carefully stepped out of Hanabi's messy room, and treaded down the steep stairs.

I wonder what father will say.

"Oh hello Hinata, are you feeling better?"

"Y-Yes…a little" Hinata stuttered "Tou…Tou-san, do you have a way that you think would cheer me up?"

"Er…yeah, I suppose you could go shopping with Hanabi tomorrow"

"Are…are you sure she would want to do that Tou-san?"

"Yeah, I will discuss it with her later"

"A-Arigatou Gozaimasu"

"You're welcome Hinata"

I guess I should be going to sleep now…I hope tomorrow works. I'll Sure miss Yuzu, I hope she does well.

"I…I should be going to sleep now, goodnight Tou-san"

"Night Hinata"

Hinata calmly walked back up the stairs to her lavender coloured room, got changed into her floral pyjamas, and quickly drifted into a deep slumber…
