Drawn Together

(Episode 1 A NaruHina Fan Fic.)

A familiar figure walked down the path that let to her home. Their home. It had been 2 years since her friend had been set off on an ANBU mission that was Top Secret even to other ANBU officials. In the past, that man had rescued his friend who was much like him, and defeated an organization of villains. This man was her love, Naruto.

The change from his 3 year trip w/ Jaraiya had been enough; Hinata had about dropped dead at the sight of him. Her mind was pondering at what he would look like now. Maybe taller? No. He had already hit 6 feet, she thought. Maybe he grew he hair out a little and changed his outfit again! And maybe he finally put his forehead protector around his neck.

Hinata had loved Naruto for as long as she could remember. But then again, not every relationship is perfect. Hinata detested Naruto's outfit no matter how much it changed little by little. And his forehead protector was just not suited for his forehead! After the destruction of Konoha was over, he wore it around his neck for awhile, Hinata adored it that way. His hair was loose and free, but then he started spiking it w/ that god awful hair gel. Hinata was praying to god that he hadn't discovered some new "exotic" hair gel. She shivered at the thought.

Finally, she could see a figure w/ blond hair heading towards the gate. Naruto was the only Konoha ninja w\ blond hair, so of course it was him. She scanned him up and down noticing, he wasn't wearing orange.

Instead he was wearing a full black outfit, and then a sky blue vest. The vest was long and blew in the wind. Also one other thing had changed, Hinata's dream(s) had come true, his hair was longer, and his forehead protector was around his waste, but not his neck.

Hinata blushed furiously just at the site of him. She was glad she had her ANBU mask on, so no one would see her blood red face. Her habit was as bad as ever.

She adjusted her mask, and shot up into the nearest tree. She planned on doing a dramatic entrance like Naruto would do. Except it would just be for the fun of the game.

It wasn't long until she was in front of the tree that Naruto was about to pass. She was behind a bush. Then she used Kurenai's jutsu to make her self dissolve.

Naruto had heard her and was in defense position with a kunai held in his hand. Hinata replicated herself and distracted him w/ the clone. Finally she jumped on him from behind.

"Gotcha!" She yelled. Until Naruto, puffed into smoke. Hinata sighed. He's coming at me from behind, she thought. She decided she would let Naruto have a little fun; it had been a while since they'd seen each other after all.

It wasn't long after that had Naruto wedged into Hinata picking her up and throwing her on his back.

"Now I got you!" Naruto yelled rhetorically. Hinata blushed at the way Naruto was carrying her.

"Let me down you evil woman!" She yelled playfully.

"I'm not a woman!" He responded.

"How do I know that?" Hinata asked with a mischievous look on her face. Naruto turned red and Hinata giggled.

Hinata had considered Naruto a close friend and was no longer as shy as she used to be around him. Well, at least she stopped fainting. Hinata's mask was thrown over her shoulder, so Naruto knew she blushing.

"Since when did you become part of ANBU?" Naruto questioned looking over his shoulder at her mask. It was in the shape of the head of a rabbit. It had two pink swirls, one on each cheek, and then had ears. It was what her Chinese Horoscope was, so that was her mask. Even though she would have preferred the tiger.

"Not long ago, about 3 months back." She finally replied, still head over heals, (literally in this case.) over Naruto's shoulders. She was getting a blood rush in her head.

"Oh, and what does your mask look like?" She added to her previous statement.

Naruto held it up. He was lucky! He got the tiger! Hinata growled w/ jealousy.

"Yah, be jealous!" Naruto retorted. Hinata blew her hair off her face in frustration. She seemed stressed, Naruto could tell.

"Hay, stand up for a sec." Naruto said to Hinata, gently letting her slide down off his back.

"You have a new look right? So take off your ANBU robe and show me!" He said to her.

"Why should I?" She asked turning pink.

"Because you saw mine." He replied irritated.

"Fine. But just part of it." She finally said.

She took of her black robe down to her waste.

"I got a new hoodie!" She shouted. Waiting to see Naruto's reaction.

"Lame!" He replied. "So what are you wearing also? Jeans?" He asked.

"Um, no.(?)" Hinata replied. She took off the rest of the robe. And there it was. Hinata, was actually, wearing, shorts.

Naruto's mouth dropped open. She was so revealing of herself! More than Sakura! The outfit showed her curves and perfectly outlined her chest. Holy mother of god, Naruto thought, trying not to drool.

"She'd make a fine mate." he suddenly heard a dark growl from inside him.

"Shut up fox, we're just friends." He replied.

"That's not what your hormones are telling me." The fox grumbled back.

Soon Naruto was back to reality. The fox had been right, Naruto felt different around her. She had gotten rid of all and I mean all her baby fat, and it had seamed to have gone to her chest.
