Angel of The Hidden Leaf

I bid my old friend good bye and cut off the pocket mirror connection. The reality of the situation was too much for me. There's no more denying it, my empathy shield is gone. "I have to be very careful..." I muttered to myself while trying my hardest not to think about my blonde roommate. "I can't bear losing a loved one..."

Then I looked at the Konoha Village in front of me. The view above the Hokage Monument is always amazing. But right now, all I could think is my hardheaded neighbor. His leader aura, his pure heart, his immature pranks, his...

"SNAP OUT OF IT!!!" I yelled in frustration. I put a hand over my forehead and took a deep breath. "Think Haios, THINK!!! How do you stop yourself from falling in love with someone!?" I looked around, trying to see anything that can help me.

Suddenly, I noticed the Konoha Hospital in the corner of my eyes. "Okay... Sakura's a girl, she fell in love with Sasuke, maybe she knows?" I muttered to myself before standing up from my position. "I just hope she is not in the middle of something important."

I took off into the sky and soared down towards the Hospital. I kept my eyes on the window in Sakura's room and dived down towards it.

I know that barging through a hospital window is unadvisable. But right now, I can't give a single damn about manners. My top priority is to figure out a way to get my empathy shield up and running and to stop Naruto from breaking into my immortal heart.

I tapped on the hospital window furiously after I get there. I can see Sakura playing with a little silver flashlight on a chair. "SAKURA!!!" I yelled out from the window.

The girl jerked up in surprise and noticed me floating outside. "Haios? What are you doing here? Are you okay!?" She quickly opened up the window to let me in. Then she inspected me with her flashlight, which is odd because it's pretty bright here in the hospital.

"Sakura, something terrible happened..." I said with a dead serious look on my face. "I am in love with Naruto! I can't stop thinking about him! I need to get him out of my head!"

Sakura blinked owlishly after hearing that. "You came to the hospital because you're in love with someone?" She looked at me flatly. "Ma'am, I need to ask you to leave."

I sighed a little. "I am not going to the hospital, I am looking for my friend for help." I told her.

This time, the girl sighed and sat back down on the chair. "Fine... So you're in love with Naruto huh?" Then she smiled at me softly. "What's wrong with it? I mean, I know that Naruto's weird and a bit annoying, but he's a good person. I'm sure he'll grow up into a powerful shinobi one day." She told me.

"That's the problem!!! HE'LL GROW UP!!!" I yelled out in panic. "And I am stuck as little girl for eternity! How am I going to cope with losing him? To see time corroding him and destroying him?" 'CRASH' A desk flew towards a window and broke into dozens of pieces. "I CAN'T BEAR LOSING A LOVED ONE AGAIN!!!"

Sakura looked at the desk I just demolished. "I get what you're trying to say and now you owe 20.000 Ryo to the hospital..." She muttered. Then she looked at me closely. "The only way for you to get Naruto out of your head is by finding him a loved one. Get him a girlfriend and you should have your feelings for him fade away."

Get him a girlfriend. That's simple, not easy, but simple. "Who should I start with?" I asked her.

Sakura thought about it for a moment. "Start with a girl that's not interested in Sasuke."

"Who?!" I asked, since every girl in the academy seemed to be out for my blood for stealing Sasuke from them. "Seriously, who?"

Sakura shrugged. "I dunno! It's not Ino, that's for sure." Then she took out her little flashlight again. "Now shoo, I'm in a middle of something here..."

[LINE BREAK]

"No." Sasuke replied with a dead serious tone in his voice.

I kneeled down in front of him and pressed my palm in a begging motion. "Please! Please Sasuke, just this once I need your help..." I begged him with the best puppy dog face I can manage.

"No."

I gazed at him with my wide yellow doe eyes and a slightly quivering mouth. "Please... I beg you..." I whispered in despair.

"No."

I sighed in defeat. Time for plan B then. "Okay, I'll ask Naruto to henge into you." I told him.

Sasuke looked at me for a moment. "Instead of making me ask every single girl in the academy, why don't you just do an actual investigation like any good ninja would?" He asked me incredulously.

I didn't thought about that. No wonder Sasuke's the top student, he's so smart. "That's great idea Sasuke!" I exclaimed. "Will you help me?" I asked him again.

"Sure."

After some serious observation, we finally narrowed it down to a single girl who doesn't show any signs of interest with Sasuke.

Hinata Hyuga.

Then again, she has some confidence issue and she doesn't have any confidence in speaking with anyone. She couldn't even form a proper sentence. She stutters in her speech and she could barely hold a conversation longer than 80 seconds. Yes I counted...

This is the reason why I don't think it's wise for me to invite her into my apartment. But here I am standing beside a very nervous Hinata in front of my apartment. I was tempted to fly her across the school and throw her into my apartment window, but I don't think she has the heart for it.

"Come on Hinata, do I really have to keep you five inches in the air just so you can keep up with me?" I asked her as I pushed her floating standing figure into towards the apartment's entrance. "I mean seriously, you're small and pretty light. But this is going to be pretty annoying."

Hinata hid her face in her jacket and muttered apologies under her breath.

Well, she needs a lot of work. But seriously, I need her to fall in love with Naruto. She doesn't seem to be the type who would like someone like Naruto.

Soon, we both made it in front of my apartment. I opened the door with the force and pushed her into my room. "Okay, we're here!" I exclaimed in slight exhaustion. "Sit down Hinata, deep breath, this is just an ordinary visit into your friend's house. Okay?"

Hinata nodded mutely.

"Now, just because I am telekinetic, it doesn't mean that I'm telepathic. Okay?" I told her.

Hinata nodded mutely.

I sighed a little. "This means I cannot read your mind and I cannot understand you if you don't say anything."

Hinata looked at me for a moment before opening her mouth. "I-I'm s-sorry..." She whispered meekly.

I groaned and took out a book out of my bag. "You know what, let's just get to business." I flipped the page on Ninja History. "Uncovered toe in Ninja Sandals, what about it?"

It took Hinata two minutes before she can jump into explanation. "W-well... It's because the toes are the longest part of a person's feet." She paused for thirty seconds. "T-to minimize the cost of creating dozens different size of sandals, they remove the toe part. Th-that way they can minimalized the cost down to fifty percent."

That was the longest time I've ever heard her say anything. "You're pretty smart... Do you mind if I ask you a favor?" I asked her while slowly putting my plans in motion.

Hinata looked at me in slight fear. "I-I don't think I'm up for it... S-sorry..." She said.

"Would you at least mind listening to my request first?" I asked her in annoyance.

The girl took deep breaths and nodded nervously. "Uhm... What do you need Haios san?" She asked.

I smirked at her. "I'm glad you asked!" I exclaimed. "You see, since you're pretty smart I need you to personally teach my neighbor." I pointed at the wall next to her. "He's an idiot and I'm afraid he won't get to graduate if this keeps up." I told her.

Hinata looked down nervously. "I-I'm not that smart... really..." She whispered.

I looked at her with a deadpan look on my face. "You can't possibly be worse than Naruto."

The second I said Naruto, Hinata's face turned red and she started to hyperventilate. "N-Naruto kun?" She asked in disbelief. "H-he lives here?"

"Yeah, right beside my room." I pointed at the wall next to me again. "But he's sparing with Sasuke at this hour and I'm supposed to fly them to the hospital at five." I looked at a clock on the wall and realized that I still have a couple of hours. "We got time."

"Wh-why don't you teach him yourself?" Hinata asked. "S-sorry..." She added.

I rolled my eyes. "I tried to, but I end up stabbing him with dull Spork out of sheer frustration." For a millisecond I can see malice flashes in her eyes the second I said that. "Perhaps you have the patience to teach him?"

Hinata looked down for a moment. "I-I will..." Then she looked at me. "B-but promise me you'll stop hurting Naruto kun!"

Impressive, she almost sounds confident in that one. "Sure, can't promise you that during training sessions though." I replied simply.

"S-so... When do we start?" Hinata asked nervously. "Next week?"

I looked at her with a deadpan look on my face. "The Graduation exam is in five days. Do you really want him to fail at Graduation again?"

Hinata shook her head vigurously. "N-no! I-I'll help him as much as I can..."

I quickly stood up from my position. "Great!!!" Hinata floated a few inches up in the air and the window opened on its own. "Let's get started right away! They should be in the Uchiha Complex right now." I told her.

"W-wait! We're going to... KYAAAAAAA!!!" Hinata's words were cut short when I quickly pulled her out of the window and send both of us soaring up to the sky. To be honest, I'm doing this only because walking with Hinata took more patience than I can give in one day.

Soon, we both landed smoothly on top of a roof near the Training Area. I can see Naruto and Sasuke fighting furiously in the arena, not one of them held back their strikes and punches.

"Oi! Guys! We have a visitor!" I exclaimed from the roof. They quickly stopped in the middle of a headlock and looked at me. "Naruto, there's someone I need you to meet." I looked behind and saw Hinata lying unconscious on the roof. "After I woke her up first..."

[LINE BREAK]

Few hours Later...

Hinata, Naruto, Sasuke, and I sat together inside the Ichikaru Ramen Shop. It took a lot for us to get to this point since Hinata fainted every ten minutes after being in contact with Naruto. After about ten times waking up with Naruto's face above her however, Hinata finally get used to see him.

"Y-you like ramen don't you... Naruto kun?" Hinata asked nervously after Naruto managed to finish of his tenth bowl of ramen. She gently moved her bowl of ramen towards him. "Y-you can have mine if you want... I'm not hungry..."

Naruto looked at Hinata and smiled at her. "Thanks Hinata chan! But no thank you." He downed his ramen in one go and put it to the tall pile of bowls beside him. "Besides, Teme's paying." He pointed at the scowling Uchiha beside me. "Another one, Ayame nee chan!"

"You owe me... Big one..." Sasuke whispered to me after realizing that Naruto is about to eat up all of his monthly allowance.

I ignored him for a moment and put the next part of my plan in motion. "Okay so, Naruto, you do realize that Hinata likes you a lot right?" Naruto looked at me in confusion while Hinata is suddenly in the brink of fainting again. "I mean like, she admires you, she loves you, she wants to be your girlfriend. You know; that sort of thing."

Yeah, I wasn't planning on being subtle.

'Thud' Hinata's head hit the table in front of her as she fainted for the eleventh time today. "Well... can't say I wasn't expecting that." I looked back at Naruto. "Please don't be stupid. It's OBVIOUS." I put an emphasis on the last part.

Naruto looked at Hinata and back to me. "Wh-what?" He stuttered in a very Hinata-like fashion.

I commenced Plan A.

Then I pat Hinata's back. "Hinata, wake up." I told her.

The Hyuga blearily opened her eyes and looked around in confusion. "Ichikaru Ramen...?" She muttered to herself. Soon, the memories of a few minutes ago came rushing down into her. Her face turned red and she quickly looked down in embarrassment.

"First of all, Hinata, tell us why you love Naruto so much." I said to her.

Hinata said nothing, she just looked down nervously unable to form words.

After a few seconds of silence I shrugged a little. "Well, it's Plan B then." I looked at Sasuke. "Hey, may I borrow your Kunai?" Sasuke handed me his Kunai without another word. "Ayame, do you have any towel to cover the table? This is about to get messy."

Ayame shrugged and put down a table cloth over Naruto's side of the seat. "Thanks!" I gripped Naruto in place with the force and put a kunai over his chest. "Now, Hinata, I'm going to stab Naruto in the chest. Your job is to say something to stop me."

The Hyuga gasped in shock after hearing that. "N-no! Y-you wouldn't!" She exclaimed in horror.

"Oh trust me, she is not buffling." Sasuke commented before sipping on his ramen calmly. Then he put the ramen down and pointed at his shoulder. "She stabbed me in the shoulder yesterday just for an excuse to visit Sakura in the hospital."

Hinata said nothing. She just looked at me with a look of horror in her face. Her whole body trembled as she tried to do anything to stop me from stabbing the blonde.

But she couldn't muster the courage to say anything. "Okay! Time's up!"

With a horrifying squelch I stabbed Naruto right in his chest area, blood flowed down over his shirt and to the table cloth below him. "Gyah!" He yelped in agony before he put a hand over his chest. 'Thud' He fell down to the streets of Konoha and curled up in a fetal position.

I looked back at Hinata and found her closing her eyes with tears streaming down her face. Her hands are balled into fist and I put up a little force field just for a precaution...

'CRACK' A palm struck my chest and sent me soaring to the street behind me. For a second it felt like an invisible force tried to cut me into a million pieces. It's only thanks to my immunity to chakra that it only broke my ribs and my sternum.

Tell you what though, it hurts like hell. I mean, I really did not think she would hit THAT hard. If it's not for the force field, I don't think I can stay conscious and stopped Hinata with the force to stop her from ending my life.

"YOU MONSTER!!!" Hinata exclaimed while trying hard to escape from my grip. "How DARE you hurt your own FRIEND!? How could you do something so CRUEL AND HEARTLESS to Naruto?!" She channeled her chakra trying to break free from her bonds. "Naruto kun is kind, sweet, and heroic! He deserves better friends than a monster like you!"

I put a hand over my chest. "Look... I have three... 'cough'" I coughed up blood and took a few steps back warily. "Three words to fix everything okay?" I paused for a second for dramatic effect and to take short bated breath. "Plan C Activate..."

'Poof' Naruto exploded in a cloud of smoke and replaced by Sasuke wearing a kunai resistant vest. He stood up from his position and threw away the Kunai. "Nice acting." I commented.

The Hyuga's eyes widened in realization. "Wh-what...? Sa-Sasuke? B-but..." She turned around and saw Naruto smiling at her from the Ramen shop. "Naruto kun?"

Naruto slowly walked towards her and embraced her into a hug. "I'm sorry for not realizing it sooner..." He whispered to her.

The girl's eyes widened after feeling his embrace. She sobbed a little and hugged him back tightly with tears of joy streaming down her face. "Naruto... Thank you..." She whispered back to him.

"Haios, you're dying." Sasuke pointed out suddenly.

I looked down and realized that my body has gone limp. It's only thanks to my power I can still float in midair. "Yeah, I should probably get this checked..." I muttered to myself when I felt that my lung is starting to fail. "Welp, I'm dead! Gotta go!" I took off to the sky and soared towards the Hospital.

[LINE BREAK]

Meanwhile, somewhere near the Hyuga Complex...

Hiashi Hyuga stood in the middle of a training field with a contemplating look on his face. Right in front of him is a Branch Member kneeling down at him. The Branch Member just delivered him very interesting news.

"Are you sure it was the Eight Trigrams Sky Palm?" Hiashi asked the messenger. "And she did it without the Byakugan and purely out of instinct?" He asked again.

The Branch Member nodded. "Affirmative Hiashi Sama..." He replied. "I watched the whole incident with the Byakugan. Although it was weaker and less powerful, she performed the Eight Trigrams Sky Palm out of pure instinct when her friend tricked her into believing that she just stabbed Naruto."

Hiashi raised an eyebrow in interest. "The Jinchuriki?" He asked in interest. "I do believe that my daughter has a strong connection with him. While it is very troubling to hear that she is interested in the Jinchuriki, I do believe that this is an opportunity to help her grow strong."

The Head of Hyuga clan looked at the messenger. "You are dismissed." He told him.
