This is gonna be good.

Hinata walked into her room after a hot bath and sighed. Training earlier had really worn her out. Her father never cared to notice her getting stonger, but Neji had caught her doing subtle things. Like when she had spun on her toes around him to keep from bumping into him.
Ever since he had watched her carefully. Not during training, he had his own team to hang with, but in the Hyuuga manor she saw him eyeing her warily.
Pulling out of her thoughts, Hinata changed into pajama's and fell on her bed in exhaustion.
A few hours later, she was woke from her slumber. Looking around, she saw a shape next to her bed. She was about to scream when a hand clamped over her mouth. She struggled against the intruder until a sharp voice said, "Hinata be still! I'm not going to hurt you."
Hinata froze at Naruto's voice. When he was sure she wasn't going to scream, he took his hand off her mouth and said, "Hinata, I'm leaving this village. I'm here to ask if you want to come with me." Hinata looks up at him and sees his bright blue eyes in the light of the moon.
"Why me?" she asks. Naruto smiled at her. It wasn't his foxy grin, but a smile that she had never seen on his face before. "You are strong Hinata. Even if no one notices. That, and you've stuck by me when the rest of the village ignored me."
He waits for Hinata's answer. Hinata looks into the eyes that rivaled the sky, and nodded.

Hinata packed the things she would be needing; kunai, shurikan, and scrolls on the Hyuuga style Taijutsu. Naruto waited on the roof above her window, keeping watch in case they were discovered.
Hinata looked around the room to see if she might need something else then walked to the window and hopped out. Naruto landed beside her silently and she wondered if this is how he really was.
She had always noticed how Naruto forced himself to act like an idiot, how he held back in fights. Not even their senseis knew this. Naruto crept across the yard, Hinata following, noting he only had a scroll strapped to his waist. "A sealing scroll. I've got to get one of those." Hinata thought as she and Naruto ran over the rooftops like shadows.
Naruto holds up a hand and balls his fist. Stop. Hinata stopped behind him, wondering what happened, but stayed silent. Naruto looks to their right then points Hinata off to their left. She ran off, him covering her from behind.
When they came to the wall of Konoha, they charged chakra to their feet and ran up it without breaking stride. They dropped down into the trees on the other side and ran off into the black night.

Hinata yawns. They had been running for two days straight, and she was getting tired. Naruto noticed this and said, "Alright. Get some sleep. I'll keep watch in case someone catches up to us." Hinata nods and lies down on a branch of the tree they were in. She watched Naruto put up traps around their area then fell asleep.
Naruto stood guard a branch above her. She had not asked questions and for that he was grateful. He knew she knew he was stronger than he let on and didn't do anything without thinking it through.
They had traveled during the nights as well as during the day, Naruto leading Hinata carefully. He and Kyuubi had morphed when he was seven, and Naruto had had the hightened senses of a fox ever since, night vision being one of them.
They had crossed the border a few hours ago, but that didn't mean Konoha wouldn't still send ninja after them. Scanning the trees around him, Naruto spotted shadows moving their way a few miles back.
Cursing, Naruto landed on Hinata's branch and picked her up bridal style then ran as fast as he could. Hinata had woken up when he landed on the branch, and now looked up at him curiously. Naruto noticed the look and smiled.
"We're being followed. I'll lose them, you just get some sleep." he said. Hinata yawned and closed her eyes, the lull of Naruto's heartbeat sending her to sleep.

Back in Konoha
Tsunade had sent Shizune for Naruto and was now looking at Hiashi Hyuuga. "Now, are you sure Hinata's not just out training?" she asks. Hiashi sighed and replied, "I have not seen Hinata for two days. She's not just out training."
Tsunade was about to say something when Shizune burst through the door. "Naruto's gone!" she panted out. Tsunade stood up, understanding in her eyes.
"Hiashi-sama, I think it's safe to say Hinata has joined Naruto and has probably left the village." she said. Hiashi and Shizune looked shellshocked at the news, and could say nothing.
Far away, a pair of teenagers sneezed.

Naruto landed on a tree branch and set Hinata down gently. "What are you going to do?" she asks as he stood back up. Naruto looked down at her sadly. "They're following us for sure. I've got to kill them Hinata." Hinata was saddened at the news but knew it was necissary.
She nodded and Naruto jumped off, heading straight for their persuers. About a half an hour, Hinata heard an explosion and jumped to her feet in worry. Thick black clouds showed above the tops of the trees. "I hope Naruto's alright." she thinks. A few minutes later, Naruto landed beside her unscathed.
Hinata sighs in relief and Naruto says, "You don't have to worry about me Hinata. That explosion was actually my doing." Hinata sighs again then nods. Naruto thinks for a minute then says, "I think we should get some new clothes too. People will be looking for us wearing these."
Hinata nods again and follows Naruto to the nearest town.
