Yay my first story! Please review and feel free to comment on it too...just not too harshly. D

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and of course I do not own Romeo and Juliet and I believe everyone agrees with that.

"Hinata! Hinata! You're going to be late for school!" Hanabi yelled while banging on the door to her older sister's room.

"Okay, Okay I'm up!" Hinata slowly threw the covers to the side, not welcoming the early fall chill. She swung her legs off to the edge of the bed and lazily got up and walked to the door. She opened the door just a little, enough to see Hanabi in her red and white school uniform. Hanabi sighed as she stands there with her arms crossed and putting her weight on her right foot.

"I'm getting sick and tired of waking your ass up every day Hinata-sama" grunted Hanabi but still gave off a small smile which Hinata returned before a stiff yawn.

"Heh sorry, I'll be on my way in a bit. Thank you" with that she closed the door and made her way to the bathroom. She took a quick shower and was now blow drying her hair.

Okay…today is the day for the school winter play tryouts…dear God.

She then changed in to her black and white uniform and looked at herself in the mirror with a frown. The skirt was too short for her liking and her white blouse was a bit too loose on her small figure. Sighing, she pulled on the small black skirt a bit lower and smooth out her matching tie. She fixed her hair to her liking and put on her socks and shoes.

Today is also the time we get to choose partners for our project. Today will be the day that Naruto will finally acknowledge me.

With slightly pink cheeks, she grabbed her thick white sweater and headed to school.

Today is going to be perfect.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Sasuke-kun!"

He winced as he knew that annoying squeaking voice anywhere.

"What do you want Sakura?" he said with a scowl on his face as he turned to look at the pink-haired green eyed girl running towards him.

"Sasuke-kun, are you going to try out for the school play? It's going to be Romeo and Juliet! You should try out for Romeo; you're perfect for that part! And I can be your beautiful Juli-"

"No, now leave me alone" he interrupted and turned his back to her.

"B-But Sasuke-kun! Wait!" she clunged herself to his arm.

"Leg go of me, Sakura!" He freed his arm only to have her clung on to him once again.

"I'll let go if you promise to watch me try out! You don't have to do anything but watch! Please Sasuke-kun! Just this once!" she pleaded as she looked up at him. He groaned as he knew it was the only way to get her off.

"Fine. You have my word." He huffed, not looking at her. She squealed and wrapped her arms around him. "Thank you thank you thank you! I promise Sasuke-kun, you won't regret it!"

Too late…

She finally lets go and turns to run away but not before blowing a kiss at his direction. He's face turns sour as he turned bumping into someone and falling with them on top.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hinata opened her pearly white eyes to meet questionable onyx one. She gasped as she realized who it was she crashed into.

"Sasuke?! I'm so sorry! I was in a hurry to get to my cla-"

"Can you get off me?"

"Oh!"

She slightly blushed as she got off him and offered her hand. He just gave her a sour look and ignored it and got up on his own.

"Err…sorry, but I got to-"

"Next time, watch where you're going, Hyuuga." with that he turned and walked away into his class. Sheez…it was just an accident. No need to be so rude about it.

Hinata brushed herself off as she too started to make her way to her class on the opposite side.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Hinata! Over here!"

Hinata turned to see Kiba waving at her from the usual table her, Kiba, Shino, Choji, Ino and Shikamaru sat at every day. Hinata smiled as she made her way to her best friends, careful not to drop her tray or bumping into anyone in the crowded cafeteria.

"Hey Hinata!" Ino yelled as she notice Hinata sitting down between Shino and Kiba. She just smiled softly and waved at everyone. Ino leaned on Choji's shoulder as he entwined his fingers with hers on the table. It still amazed Hinata how Choji can keep up with the hyper-active loud Ino and not get fed up, but Choji explained that that is why he loved her so much. Hinata had to admit that she was kind of jealous, not because Ino was dating Choji but because she wished that someone will hold her like Choji does. Wished that someone will look at her with so much love in their eyes, kissed her like they will never see each other again…

"Hinata?" she snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Kiba as she slightly blushed. "Oh i'm sorry, what did you say?"

"I said that are you still going to ask Naruto to be your partner?"

"Oh! U-um well uh…"

"Leave her alone Kiba. Its her choice, we shouldn't be involved." Shino said as he shook his head, sighing.

"Hey I was just asking! Sheez!" Kiba crossed his arms and leaned back on his chair.

"Man, you guys are such a pain" Shikamaru rested his head on his hand as he closed his eyes and let out a tired sigh.

"If we're such a pain then why do you even bother to sit with us?!" Kiba yelled as he suddenly got up and glared at Shika.

"Kiba, not today" groaned Choji as he pinched his nose between his eyes.

"Sit down Kiba, please, people are starring" Hinata said softly as she grabbed his arm and gently pulled him down. He just growled and crossed his arms. Hinata just smiled at his child like behavior, it was always like this. Kiba fighting with Shino or Shikamaru, Choji pressing his lips against Ino's forehead. It was like every other day, only this time; little did Hinata know that her life will change forever.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Settle down class!" said Iruka as he entered the classroom. Everyone quickly went back into their seats.

"Alright. As you know, today you get to choose your partner for this project. The project is due in two weeks and I won't accept late work. This project is going to count 50 of your grade so make sure you do well." Iruka said with a smile as the students groaned.

"50 of our grade?! That's too much!" yelled Naruto as he slammed his fist on the desk.

"Calm down Naruto.This project is really quite simple. What you have to do is chose two types of non-lethal poisons and combined them to form one with multiple side effects and hide them in food. You have a chose to make two or more dishes but the poisoned food can only be one dish."

"That's not simple at all! There's thousands of poisons that are lethal and few that aren't!" yelled the upset blond boy.

"Well then I suggest you get started right away after you pick your partner. You may pick them now by the way." Said Iruka with that same smile. People quickly got out of their seats and started to rush to choose their partners.

Okay…it's now or never…

Hinata took a deep breath and slowly made her way to Naruto who sat next to the heartthrob Uchiha Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun! I'll be your partner!"

"No me! I will!"

"I love you Sasuke-kun!!!"

The ever so famous Uchiha fan club were pushing their way to cling themselves to Sasuke, who's face looked between annoyed as hell to angry enough to break each of their necks in half. Hinata tore her eyes away to look at Naruto, who was chuckling at Sasuke's distress.

"U-u-um…N-N-Naruto?" feeling her face burning hot as he turned to look at the young Hyuuga heir.

"Oh hey Hinata! What's up?" grinned the loud Naruto. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach and once again her face turned to another shade of red.

"U-um…I…oh…um" she looked down, connecting both of her index fingers together. The Uchiha turned away from his fighting fan club to stare at the Hyuuga. He had to admit to himself that he was surprised. Naruto made her blush a lot more then he himself can. Well, the only time he made her blush was earlier today when she knocked them over.

"U-u-um, will y-y-you b-b-b-be my p-partner?" she quickly shut her eyes tightly as she spoke with a soft voice.

"Sure! I'll be your partner Hinata! Um are you okay? It looks like your getting a fever" said Naruto with concerned shining in his youthful (A/N: haha I feel like Rock lee D) blue eyes.

He said yes! Oh my God he said yes! She felt like fainting, screaming, dancing oh so many things she wanted to do to show how much joy she has.

"hn." Said the Uchiha as he rested his head on one hand

"Sasuke-kun! Be my partner!" yelled Sakura as she once again clung herself to him.

"That's it!!" yelled Iruka. The room quickly went silent and all the commotion stopped as they all turned to see their angry Sensei. "You girls are getting on my nerves! And for that. I get to decide who Sasuke's partner is! Hyuuga Hinata, you are now Uchiha Sasuke's partner! End of discussion!" Everyone froze in their place, Hinata couldn't hear a sound. How…how can this happened? The only time where Naruto will finally notice me…and then this happens…The room began to spin, and everyone turned into twins…triplets. It was getting darker as the seconds go by.

"Hinata? Hinata are you okay?!" someone yelled. Then everything turned completely black.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Hinata?" a soft voice pierced through the darkness. She slowly opened her eyes, only to shut them tightly by the bright white lights.

"Hinata! You're awake!" yelled someone oh so familiar to her.

"N-Naruto?" she said softly as she opened her white eyes, slowly adjusting to the light of the Nurse's office.

"Hehe yup that's me! Are you okay? You fainted in class"

"I-I d-did?" she slowly sat up with the help of her long time crush. Was it all a dream? No, I know for a fact that it wasn't.

"Yeah, uh Hinata, your face is turning red again, are you getting sick?" She placed her hands on both of her hot cheeks.oh…my…God…did Naruto carried me to the Nurse's office?!

"I…oh um…I'm f-f-fine. Um…h-how long was I o-o-out for?" she asked as she suddenly found her hands interesting.

"Hmm uh well schools over already."

"What?!"

"Yeah, school barely ended-hey where are you going?" she quickly got up and rushed out the door but not before uttering a soft thank you.

Then I still have time to make it to the try outs.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sasuke yawned as he saw different girls trying out for the part of Juliet. It seems as if almost the whole entire school wants to be part of this. Mostly because they might get to kiss someone they desire, but for Sasuke, this was a pathetic excuse to waste the school's money and his valuable time for training. You see, geniuses like himself, don't participate in romantic plays and certainly do not fall in love either.

He then heard Sakura's name being called out and she stepped into the stage. She spotted him and blew another of her disgusting kisses at his direction. He just glared at her and let out a soft growl deep inside his throat. Sakura was then instructed to perform a small quote like the other girls did, and he had to say that Sakura will easily get the part of Juliet. She was most confident in herself and of course she wasn't as shy like most.

Heh…I feel sorry for the loser that gets to be Romeo

Then the double doors burst opened to let the bright light of the outside world inside the dim auditorium. Sasuke turned to see a panting Hinata as she used her left hand for support. He was astonished, though his face remained emotionless. The sunlight gave her ivory skin a glow that made her seem…inhuman, unreal.

…hn…she's not that pretty…

"I'm…sorry I'm late." She said between breaths. She then slowly walked towards an early 50 year old woman with green eyes and a warm face that in a way, reminded Sasuke of his own mother.

"Oh well that's okay dear. Are you here to try out for Juliet?"

"Um yeah…I am…"

Why would a Hyuuga be interested in trying out for a stupid play like Romeo and Juliet?

This intrigued the Uchiha and when something intrigued him, he was determined to analyze it no matter what. He smirked as he got up, his hands in his pockets, and slowly made his way in front of the stage.

"I will also try out."

Soft gasps and squeals could be heard by the girls who already tried out. The old lady just smiled while as Hinata looked at him as if he was planning something.

"Well, what position did you want to try out for?"

"I don't care just as long as I do"

"Hmm well you can try out with Miss Hyuuga as Romeo since she's the last one, if it's alright with her."

"Oh…um yes it's alright." She softly said as she looked down to look at her shoes.

"Then its settle! You two get up on the stage and read the parts that are highlighted." She handed them both two scripts and sat on one of the seats with a clipboard on her lap. Sasuke lazily walked up the stage with Hinata trailing behind him.

"You may begin."

Sasuke looked at the blushing Hinata as she took a breath before she started saying her line.

"So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself."

Her voice sounded confident which was rare for this particular Hyuuga. Sasuke could tell that she even practices. Sure she was still blushing but she was almost as good as Sakura. Almost. He cleared his throat as he started to read his part.

"I take thee at thy word:
Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized;
Henceforth I never will be Romeo."

This is stupid.

Sasuke knew he was going to get the part and frankly, he doesn't give a rat's ass. He doesn't want to be in this. The only reason why he's wasting his breath was to find out why would Hinata, a shy woman who didn't even like to be the center of attention, would be interested in taking the lead role.

"What man art thou that thus bescreen'd in night
So stumblest on my counsel?"

Maybe she wanted to kiss someone. She was a very…strange girl that even Sasuke couldn't read and honestly, that really pissed him off.

"By a name
I know not how to tell thee who I am:
My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself,
Because it is an enemy to thee;
Had I it written, I would tear the word."

"Okay that was wonderful! I'm going to post who made it next week on Monday." The woman said as she took off her thick red rimmed glasses to set it on top of her head.

"Sasuke-kun! You were wonderful!"

"Sasuke-kun, You were so dreamy!"

His face turned sour for the third time today as he dreaded the running girls that were headed towards him. He quickly turned to look at the Hyuuga to find out that she already headed towards the double doors.

What is her problem?!

He just couldn't get it. Was she ignoring him? Was she planning on kidnapping him to have him all to herself? Every girl wants Sasuke. Every girl desired him, all except for this one girl and that pissed him off even more!

I'm going to find out what you're up to Hyuuga

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hinata slowly made her way home as the cold October chill danced with her long hair. She brushed a few strands behind her ear and held her sweater tighter. The cold was coming earlier then she expected that she didn't have time to buy a thicker sweater. She let out a sigh as she replayed the scene in her class.

At long last I finally found the courage to talk to him and to be my partner, and then this happened! Ugh fate really does hate me…

She looked up and saw the ramen shop, making her stomach let out a growl. She giggled at herself as she made her way inside. The air smelled like noodles, pork and shrimp and it was sort of crowded too. Her stomach growled again once she saw a man about to eat some beef ramen with lemon. She found a seat and a woman approached her.

"What will you have Miss?"

"Just some plain noodles with a bit of chicken, please." The woman wrote it down and walked away.

Oh well its not like I have a chose to not be Sasuke's partner…ugh why me?!

She rested her head in her hands as she waited for her order to come. It's not like she hated Sasuke, it's just that she really doesn't know him. She never talked to him at all really, just a few simple words and that would be the end of it. Of course he wasn't the only one to blame, she isn't a chatter box either.

Maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe we could become friends.

She groaned as she knew that she was way wrong about that. Neji hates Sasuke and he feels the exact same way. Basically, from what she heard from Neji-niisan's remarks, that Uchiha Sasuke absolutely hates Hyuugas.

The waitress gives her her order and Hinata utters a soft thanks. She picked up her chopsticks and started to eat her food alone. Not only did Sasuke's hate for the whole Hyuuga clan bother her, but also the face that he tried out for the school play.

I thought that he didn't like that kind of stuff…hmm you learn something new everyday.

She soon finished her ramen and left the money on the table. She still couldn't really understand why Sasuke wanted to try out, especially when she said that she was going to also. It didn't make sense at all. Was he planning something? Was he just doing that so that he can make her life a living hell for the fact that she holds the Hyuuga name? Did she offend him in any sort of way? Maybe he is still mad about her bumping into him? If that was the case then he was a lot more sensitive then people give him credit for.

She softly laughed at that foolish thought as she passed a few houses. It's around 5:00 in the afternoon and it was getting colder then before.

"Hinata!"

Her heart stopped. Could it be him? Butterflies in her stomach fluttered once more as she turned to see a certain blond boy running towards her.

"N-N-Naruto?"

"Hey Hinata! You heading home?" he gave her his goofy grin that she loves so very much.

"Oh…u-u-um I uh…um y-y-yeah" she looked down; connecting her fingers again like she always does when she's nervous. Her cheeks felt warm and she mentally slapped herself.

"Cool! Hey listen since you're Sasuke's partner and of course you're a Hyuuga, I just wanted to tell you that if Sasuke-jerk gives you any trouble, just tell him and I'll kick his ass, Okay?"

She felt her heart skip a beat and she had to force some oxygen into her lungs.

"T-t-t-thank you N-N-Naruto…I-I-I w-w-w-will."

"Good, hey talk to you later! Bye!!" with that he turned around and ran the opposite way she was heading. Her heart was still beating and she was having a hard time to remember to breath.

Naruto…you are so kind…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

He watched from the tree tops as the annoying little blond boy runs off and into the ramen shop. He turns back to see the red Hinata still there, with both her hands on her chest, watching Naruto go away. He jumps down in front of Hinata, startling her.

"Neji-niisan!"

"Hello Hinata-sama, how did the try outs go?"

She looks down then back up again with a small smile.

"It was fine. I hope I get the part." He looks at her with curious white eyes. She was hiding something. He can read her like a book.

"You're hiding something, Hinata-sama"

Her eyes widen and torn her eyes away, avoiding his intense gaze. If someone hurt her or even touched her in an inappropriate way, he will kill them in an instant.

"I'm not hiding anything Neji-niisan. Honest."

He didn't believe her for a second, but he just let it slid for now. Hinata will tell him when she was ready…of course after a little investigation.

"Alright, if you say so. Let's go to the compound, Hanabi wants your help on some stupid project or something."

"Oh! That's right! Let's go!" she smiled that soft smile of hers as she walked besides him. She has grown so much over the years. Her stuttering was almost gone completely, her fighting skills were improving so much that her father started to notice it, and most importantly, she was turning more and more beautiful by the day. It was so stupid for Naruto not to notice at all, then again he was talking about Naruto. He lets out a sigh as he turned to look at his younger cousin, remembering that fight in the Chuunin exams. How he despise the main branch so naturally he was surprised how much he changed but he wasn't complaining at all. It got him closer to his cousin, and that alone made him happier then he has ever been in his whole miserable life.
