Oi, I can't keep away from the fanfiction! Make sure you read and review, this and my other stories! Keep it real, dawgs!
The sun set below the horizon. The whole forest was alive with chatter and animals finishing up the days business. A light breeze made the leaves sway and the trees creak. The forest was a thousand years or older. Not a single human was near the ancient place. Not past sunset anyways. They were great training grounds during the day, but most people thought they were creepy at night. Most people.
A solitary figure walked quickly across the crisp grass. The gates of Konohagakure were closing again, but all the figure could think about was the waterfall. Hair streamed behind as the figure. If she was seen, there would be trouble. Training wasn't allowed after dark. If anyone got caught, punishment was 6 weeks hard community service.
Lavender eyes searched the darkness layed out in front of her. A rustle here, a rustle there, then nothing but silence. Running water could be heard faintly. A smile appeared in the moonlight. Training would be easy. Hopefully
She started to unzip her jacket. The jacket was thrown to the ground, and pale skin shone in the light. She approached to water's edge, and let the water soak her toes. It always felt good to be there. A rustle in the bushes didn't bring her out of her thoughts. Her pants slipped from her waist as she walked out onto the water.
Another figure was walking into the tree line. His spiked hair rippled in the breeze. He didn't expect anyone to be out in the forest, he usually came out here alone. Being alone was the best thing for him right now. The missions were too much. The tank top he was wearing camoflauged with the night perfectly. He would never be spotted. He'd stay out here forever if he could.
He heard the faint sound of water running and a smile came onto his face. He loved the waterfall. That was the first place he went to every night. The pounding of the water was oddly soothing to him. It was secret, only he knew about it. He was going to keep it that way. If anybody knew, people wouldn't leave it alone.
He tripped. Which was strange to him, considering there were no roots or twigs to trip over. He knelt down and picked up the offender. A lavender-gray jacket, unzipped, was lying crumpled on the ground. At first he could only stare at it. Then it hit him. Someone knew about the waterfall. His special place was known.
The girl started her training. Eight Trigrams Heavenly Spin, Sixty-four palms. It all seemed very basic, but she struggled with it sometimes. The water helped. Just as she was finishing the Heavenly Spin, a sound in the bushes interrupted the Gentle Fist Technique. She disconnected the chakra in her feet and sank into the water.
This couldn't be happening. His sanctuary has been found out. He had to find out who it was. Nobody was even supposed to out right now. A necklace bobbed on his chest as he ran. The rushing water was louder now and he spotted the bush he usually went through to the falls. He pushed aside the bushes and saw a head bobbing up and down on the water's surface.
She gasped. Was he really there? She couldn't believe it. He was standing in front of her, gaping. Could he see her body?
"Hinata-chan?" He couldn't believe her, of all people, would find his waterfall.
"N-n-naruto-k-kun?" She was shaking like a leaf. Why couldn't she maintain her composure at a time like this?
"What are you doing here? Training curfew has already been called! You could get into serious trouble!"
"W-why are y-you o-out here th-then?" A warm feeling had spread through her. He cared!
"I… needed some alone time." He said this very carefully. He had always felt a little awkward around Hinata.
"Oh. Um… Could you turn around?" He didn't understand at first, but then he saw her clothes on the ground. Blushing fiercly, Naruto turned around. Hinata, blushing, got out from the pond and put on her clothes. She was still wet, therefore, her clothes were soaking in no time.
"You can turn around now." Naruto did so and laughed. She was soaked. He offered her jacket and she took it gratefully. The Hyuga heiress sat on a boulder and held her knees to her chest. Naruto sat beside her and chuckled when he saw her blush.
"What?" she said defensively.
"The way you blush, it's funny." She looked down at this, and smiled. Naruto thought her smile was very cute. Normally, he thought about Sakura. That wasn't the case right now.
"What are you doing tomorrow?" Hinata stopped smiling.
"Oh um….."
"It's okay if you're doing something. That's fine."
"I'm really not doing anything." For some reason, she wasn't stuttering.
"So, it's a date." He smiled her favorite smile and got up. "Meet me at the tree line, straight out, 12 tomorrow, 'kay?"
"Um… Sure." He waved an walked off. And that's when Hinata fainted.
