Chapter One

I love him. I don't know how it came to this or how I even managed to get over my first love. Or even get the courage to have loved in the first place.

You see, I'm a quiet and shy type of girl. I was never very open and I always had my eye set on the one dream guy that deep down I knew I could never have. When we were young, it was only because he was too wrapped up in becoming Hokage and being with his teammates. He never noticed me. Let alone noticed my feelings. As we got older, all he wanted was to get his best friend back. To this day, that's his goal. To protect the only person he could never save.

I had confessed. He didn't feel the same. Well, I didn't exactly 'confess'. I was being stabbed because I saved him from an evil guy who was trying to kill us all. As I fell, I told him that I loved him. Of course he went all crazy and saved us all but he didn't exactly return my feelings.

Oh I was heartbroken. It wasn't that bad until I saw him with HER. It just made me so upset to see him with someone who doesn't even LOVE him. She still has feelings for their old teammate. I thought I would never love again. I just couldn't do anything.

But then he helped me. My wonderful teammate had saved me from the darkness of the abyss. I had sunk so low I thought I could never escape but he pulled me out and brought me back to the light. I finally felt at peace.

It had happened a few weeks after my 'confession'. I had been at my house, sitting alone. For the past few days I had declined offers for 'hangouts' and refused to go on missions, but I was actually lonely. He had seen that, and knew he had to help. That's why he showed up at my door in the middle of the night.

Knock Knock

Who could be here at this time? I had thought as I groggily got out of bed and approached the front door. I unlocked it and pulled it open to see a very worried teammate standing there.

"Hey, are you ok?" Kiba Inuzuka, my dog-loving teammate, had asked me. He had come all the way there just to ask me this.

"I'm fine." I didn't recognize the sound of my own voice. I hadn't spoken in a while and it just sounded so foreign.

"Want to come on a mission with us tomorrow?"

"No thanks…" I whispered, looking to the floor.

"Can I come in?" He asked.

I stepped aside and he came in, pulling off his shoes and carelessly tossing them to the floor. I shut the door and led him to the kitchen where I prepared some tea.

"We need to talk." He stated bluntly, looking straight into my pale eyes.

"What is it we need to talk about?" I asked.

"I miss you, Hinata." He said, and I knew he wasn't lying.
