It was a sunny day in Konoha the flowers of spring were starting to bloom every nin was outdoors enjoying the sunny weather except for the Hyuga heiress.
Hinata was sitting or her bed contemplating the conversation she had with her best friend Ten Ten the night before.
"Hinata just let him know how you feel, you have nothing to lose." said Ten Ten.
Hinata knew she had nothing to lose, but her biggest fear was simply that Naruto wouldn't be able to respond to her feelings. All Hinata was sure of was that she had been in love with Naruto for years. The way he talked to everyone and how determined he was to become Hokage, his spirit always inspired her and those beautiful blue eyes she could just stare at all day.
She thought about it and said to herself "Ten Ten is right I have nothing to lose." she thought back to the time she had promised herself to become stronger and grabbed her jacket and headed out. She stood outside of her house and thought, If I were Naruto where would I be? then it hit her the only place Naruto would be on his day of would be Ichiraku's Ramen Shop.
Like she predicted he was there already on his fifth bowl of Ramen, she walked in casually she could feel butterflies in her tummy. She wanted to run, but she told herself Come on Hinata here's you chance!. She took a deep breath and sat on the stool next to Naruto and Naruto at the sight of her instantly said "Hello Hinata, How are you doing?" Hinata just blushed and said "Hi…." she hesitated and Naruto squinted his eyes at her and said "Are you okay Hinata-chan?". Hinata blushed a little more and said "Im fine I just want to ask you something." "Go ahead I'm all ears." he replied, Hinata took a deep breath and said "Naruto for sometime now I have had these feelings for you and I was wondering….if it is possible that you would want to give me a chance?" this sudden declaration caught Naruto of guard he instantly blushed and put his hand on the back of his head and scratched. "Hinata I had no idea that you felt this way but……." he put his hand on Hinata's shoulder, Hinata felt the blood rush away from her cheeks. "Hinata you are a great girl and all and I'm really thankful that you feel that way about me, but I cannot respond my heart belongs to someone else. We can be best friends though." with that he stood up and hugged her really tight. Hinata only smiled and fought back the tears that were threatening to come out. Once he let her go she said her goodbye and left Ichiraku's as fast as she could.
