"DARNIT!," screamed the knuckle-headed ninja of the village hidden in the leaves. The blonde haired orange ninja had gotten his leg caught in a large pile of ice. As he struggled to drag his feet threw the ice, Sakura, the pink haired brainiac, laughed at his discomfort.

"Sakura! Stop laughing and help me," he screamed as he kept struggling to get out.

" Ok, I'll help," she took advantage of this and punched him out of the ice. He landed face first into a large pile of snow. She happily sighed, feeling very accomplished. As Naruto got up he looked at her with a look of discomfort on his face.

"Why the hell did you punch me?!"

"You were stuck in the ice and I took advantage of the opportunity," she said as she walked feeling very pleased with herself. Naruto stood up and looked around. He then started walking back to his training posts.

"She's become such a bitch ever since Sasuke left. I never saw what she liked about him anyway." He kept mumbling this to himself as he walked. He seemed to be in a trance and walked into one of the posts.

"Damnit," he screamed as he held his stomach in pain. He he wailed in pain, he didn't realize the blue haired silent ninja was watching him behind a tree. He finally stopped wailing, and began training. As he trained, Hinata watched him in deep curiosity. She so desperatly wanted to tell him how she feels about him. Every single emotion that flowed through her body for him she wanted to express to him in the worst way. But sadly, as much as she loved him, she was scared of him, scared he might never want to see her again, because she feared he might not like her.

"OW!" She jumped as he screamed in pain. He was jumping up and down holding his foot, obviously, he kicked the post the wrong way. Immediatly, he turned around, hearing something move.

"Who's there," he asked as she stood hidden behind the tree. He stood there watching the tree when finally she got the courage to come out, she waved slowly at him.

"Oh, hi Hinata, why were you hiding behind that tree," he asked as he looked at her in curiosity.

"Uhh..I..uhh..," She kept stammering for alittle bit before she finally started putting the sentences together.

"I..uhhh...wanted to..tell you something, Naruto," she finally spat out after a few minutes of stammering.

"Ok, I'm all ears."

"Naruto, I..uhh..always wanted to say...that..uhhh...I," thats all she could get out before Kakashi Sensei appeared to show up out of no where.

"Kakashi sensei," Naruto screamed.

"What are you doing here?"

"Naruto, we must go, it's time for a mission." Hinata was going to say something but withen an instant Naruto and Kakashi had disapeared. She sighed in disbelief and started to walk away. She had been so close to telling him everything, but as always, something happened. She re-entered the village and went home for alittle nap.

"Mabey next time," she thought.
