CHAPTER 1
SOMEWHERE NEAR THE KONOHA VILLAGE…
As Naruto and Jariya close in on the village, Naruto is wandering in his thoughts…
"What's on your mind kid?" Jariya asked with not much thought in his words.
" nothing much just… how much do you think the village has changed since we've been gone?" Naruto asked sorta depressed. "I couldn't tell you Naruto… maybe a lot maybe a little…" jariya replied.
IN THE HOKAGE'S OFFICE…
"Too much work being Hokage…Shizune how would you like to take over for the rest of the day?" the blonde hokage complained lazily. "sorry m'lady that may be impossible…besides aren't we expecting someone of importance today?"
The hokage eyes widened in remembrance, as someone knocked on the door.
"You may enter!" in came the student of the hokage. "you called lady hokage?" "yes Sakura I need you to run some errands for me." as Tsunade gave Sakura her orders the orange ninja was walking into the village quite casually. As he walked only few noticed him but gave him no mind. He noticed how nothing had changed until he saw something unfamiliar to his memory.
"Hey look they added granny Tsunade's face to the mountain!" Naruto shouted almost to the top of his lungs pointing up at the mountain clearly visible. Sakura, being done with her errands, looked around the village for something she thought would be an unfamiliar face. Not thinking as he walked Naruto ran into an unfamiliar face.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn--" he was cut off by a small gentle voice.
" N-n-Naruto-k-kun? Naruto is that you?"
Naruto looked up but couldn't figure out who was in front of him.
" Umm…do I know you?" Naruto said confused.
"oh…you don't recognize me" the violet girl said while tears formed in her crystal like eyes. 'I guess I'm not important enough for Naruto-kun to remember me.' She thought to herself as one tear fell down her cheek. Naruto reached out to her and wiped away her tear
" Hinata-chan I would never forget you"
Hinata turned rosey red with a big smile as Naruto stroked her cheek gently. Naruto and Hinata walked and talked trying to catch up to one another, and yet sakura was still searching for… what exactly, she did not know.
" It's pretty cool hanging out with Hinata like this, it looks like she matured a lot and she seems different somehow" Naruto thought.
"s-so how was training n-Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked quietly.
"it could've been better. So what have I missed since I've been gone?"
"w-well, Naruto-kun, a-a lot of c-couples are together now" Hinata replied now turning red. "let's see…umm… there's Neji and Ten-ten, Shikamaru and Temari, Ino and Kiba--"
"eh…who is sakura-chan with?"
"Sakura-chan isn't with anyone, so far she's been waiting for Sasuke this whole time" she said happy in the moment.
"well then…" Naruto stammered " who are you…ya know…dating?" Naruto waited a little anxious for the answer.
"well…the person that I w-was interested in w-wasn't h-here so I'm still alone right now" she spoke softly. A relieved look overcame his face without him noticing, but Hinata did and of course blushed. A few hours passed with neither of them knowing and the sun was beginning to set. Naruto slowly glanced at Hinata's face.
"it may be me, but Hinata looks beautiful in the sunsets' colors" Naruto accidentally saying what he thought. Naruto and Hinata stood in front of the ramen shop. "hey Hinata I was wandering do you want to get some ramen with me?…since we're already here"
"j-just as f-friends?"
"yeah sure.. As friends"
"o-ok, I'll be happy to" Hinata walked in disappointed. after about an hour and a half Naruto finished a few bowls and Hinata ate one. "hey its getting pretty late, how 'bout I walk you home." Naruto said with a big smile. Hinata nodded. 'good thing ero-senin left when I bumped into her' Naruto thought as he paid the bill for the ramen hey ate. Walking to the Hyuga mansion Hinata lost her balance and grabbed Naruto's hand. They both blushed and acted as though nothing happened. They kept walking…still holding each others hands. Once they reached the mansion hey finally released their hands from the lock.
"n-Naruto-k-kun" Hinata started, breaking the silence between the two. "do y-you think w-we c-could hang out like this again sometime?"
" I think I'd like that Hinata-chan" Naruto said with a satisfied smirk on his face. "see ya around Hinata-chan!" Naruto shouted after hugging her and walking away. Hinata walked into the Hyuga mansion happier than she has ever been in her entire life.
"I wonder if you could consider that a date?…it probably doesn't even matter … she's still waiting for her dream guy" Naruto thinks to himself walking away from the mansion. Apparently neither Naruto nor Hinata noticed they were being watched, being watched by the one and only cherryblossom ninja from afar.
THE NEXT DAY….
"Naruto!!! Naruto over here!!!!" a voice down the street was getting closer to him.
"hey Sakura-chan!! Long time no see!!"
"So Naruto?" Sakura started "I couldn't help but see you with Hinata and I was wandering why didn't you come see me?" Sakura had a different face than usual, to Naruto it seemed sad.
"well I sorta bumped into Hinata-chan and wasn't really thinking about anything else" Naruto explained but the expression didn't change. "I just got caught up and… wait … if you saw us then why didn't you come see me yourself?" her face then changed to a more respectable look. "I didn't want to interrupt you two looked so…. Nevermi--" Sakura's words were cut off by Naruto being tackled. Naruto was covered in giant slobbery kisses.
"Down Akamaru!" the voice above Naruto spoke. "Naruto?!?!? That is you!!!! I knew I smelled something funny around here!"
"hey Kiba! What in the world have you been feeding Akamaru! HE'S HUGE!!!!"
"well it has been almost three years since you've been gone."
" Hey Naruto!! You got taller runt" Ino said standing beside Kiba.
After about an hour the whole Naruto Gang gathered and went out to dinner, even allies from the sand village. The group of friends talked about old times and new. They talked about training and accomplishments, failure and tragedies. They all talked for hours until most left and then it was down to 5 people. There sat Shikamaru, Temari, Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata. Naruto, with a mouth full of food, sat in the middle of Sakura and Hinata, and Shikamaru and Temari sat on the other side, side by side. Shikamaru soon walked Temari home and Naruto walked both Hinata and Sakura home.
As Naruto, Hinata, and Sakura walked, Naruto and Hinata talked like friends should…just not paying much attention to sakura. ' why is it I'm here but no one seems to care but me' sakura thought. Sakura decided to get both of their attention and took hold of Naruto's hand. As of now, everyone got silent, still walking. They were right around the corner from the Hyuga mansion.
"well…g-guys I-I'll just walk the rest of the w-way from h-here…g-guys are you li--" Hinata's heart stopped as she turned around and saw Naruto and Sakura just broke from a kiss…
Hinata ran in the mansion before anything was said…

Later that night while walking home Naruto pondered in his thoughts…
' it's weird … I've waited so long for that kiss from sakura but it's not what I thought it would be. Why do I feel like this, my head, stomach and heart all have this weird ache.'
Naruto laid restless in his bed that night…
