...NaruHina

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

What Now?

"N-Na-Naruto-kun", Hinata says as she came awake in the hospital.

"Hinata-chan, Naruto is fine. The one you should be worrying about is you.", Sakura gently admolishes Hinata to which she blushes.

"O-Okay Sakura-san. But I always worry about Na-Naruto-kun first", Hinata answers with a bright red face.

"Yes, you have been loving him for a long time now. Tell you what, Naruto is just outside the door. He has been waiting for you to wake up because he says that he wants to talk to you. I'll send him in. Okay?", Sakura informs.

"Okay, Sakura-san. Arigato.", says Hinata but inside, 'Really...Naruto-kun wants to talk to me now..What will will he say? Maybe he doesn't like me after him all. I hope that we can still be friends-' but before she can think more the door to her room abruptly opens and the blond god walks in with all his glory and his cape swishing around him. He is so beautiful she turns into a puddle and sinks into the bed.

"How are you, Hinata-chan?", says Naruto with worry, concern and something like guilt etched in his face. Though Naruto is still wearing his battle clothes which ny the way has rips and tears Hinata still finds him the most handsome man.

"N-Na-Na-Naruto-k-kun, I'm f-f-f-fine. A-arigato." Hinata says while blushing and preventing herself from sinking to the floor.

"Hinata-chan, I came here to know how you are doing and I want to talk about your confession."

"H-Hai, N-Nar-Naruto-ku-kun" says Hinata but thinks 'Naruto-kun will hate me now. He will be angry at me but I am happy that we have become friends.'

"Hinata-chan, I love you." says Naruto simply.

'Eh? Eh? Naruto-kun loves me? When? Where? How? Oh Naruto-kun, you are so kind but you don't have to say those lies' Hinata thoughts and says "Na-Naruto-k-kun i-i-it is o-o-okay i-if you h-h-ha-hate me. I-I can u-u-unders-s-stand. A-and yo-you don't ha-have to say you l-l-l-lo-lo-ove me bec-because I know tha-that I am ugly."

Suddenly Naruto's eyes is filled with disbelief 'My beautiful Hime thinks that she's ugly! No, I cannot let her think that way when she is my most beautiful tenshi(angel)!'

"Hinata-chan, what are you saying you a goddess here on earth, an angel from heaven, and a forbidden fruit from the paradise. Even I am not worthy to grace your presence. And how can I hate you I just told you that I love you?"

"R-r-really?"

"Hai, my Hime! I am not the idiot the others thinks I am for I am never letting you go once you are all healed. I realized that you were always there for me since we were young. In your eyes I am the Hokage, the strongest and everything that I wish to be. You are the only person that never lost faith in me. That is why I love you give me the honor of being your boyfriend?" Naruto says looking at Hinata straight in the eyes and giving Hinata the power to destroy him.

'Naruto-kun is so vulnerable and open to me now. This means that what he says is the truth. Oh my, I feel so happy and loved that I think I can defeat Pain.' thoughts Hinata. "I-I lo-oove you to-too, Naruto-k-kun. A-and ye-yes I wi-will be your gi-girl-friend." Hinata answers Naruto with a small smile to which he answers with a broad grin and a bonecrushing hug while keeping Hinata from getting hurt. And Hinata returns it in a gntle manner with a red face.

"NARUTO! Don't molest Hinata while she is in the hospital. At least wait for her to heal!"says our Lady Hokage.

"EEEHHHHh?!" says the blushing couple together.
