Yes, this is yet another story started while in the middle of other stories. Shame on me. These are drabbles that I have written and cut from other, chaptered stories, or penned randomly when the mood has struck me. Some will go together, others will stand alone. Most of them will not be true 'drabbles' (100 words or less). I hope to get up to at least 50 separate stories.
I don't own Naruto. Hinata and Naruto would be well on their way to getting together if I did.
Plus I'd be loaded.
#1. Word Association
"Go away, Naruto! You're annoying me!"
Naruto hung his head as Sakura glared at him before turning her smile sickeningly sweet and running after Sasuke.
"Sasuke this and Sasuke that. Stupid bastard. What's so special about him anyway?"
He grumbled, kicking up the dirt as he walked back into the village.
"Sakura's annoying, and Sasuke's a bastard…"
Still dragging his feet in the dirt, Naruto remembered a word association game that Iruka-sensei had taught them in the academy.
"Hehe…," he giggled to himself.
"Sasuke…bastard. Sakura…"
Naruto paused. He didn't hate her that much. Just hated the fact that she liked Sasuke so much.
"Sakura…loud! Yeah! That's good! This is going to be fun! Okay…Kakashi-sensei…late…and annoying. Can you use two words at once?"
He couldn't remember Iruka-sensei saying that it was only restricted to one word.
"Besides, Kakashi-sensei is both late and annoying. Anyway…Iruka-sensei…"
As Naruto paused again to think of what word he came up with first when thinking of Iruka, he kicked a pebble high into the air.
"Eep!"
Naruto jumped at the sound as the pebble landed in a nearby bush.
"Who's there!?"
He yelled anxiously and pulled a few kunai from his pocket just in case.
Watching the bushes rustle for a minute, he breathed a sigh of relief when familiar blue head of hair emerged.
"Hinata! What are you doing here? You really scared me…hehe."
Naruto quickly shoved the kunai back into his pocket.
"N-Naruto-kun…I-I was j-j-just l-looking for s-something I l-lost," the shy girl managed to stutter before blushing profusely and taking off down the path.
He shrugged to himself as he watched her run away. Maybe she had something she'd forgotten about. At least she hadn't been mad about the pebble.
Naruto began to smile to himself. Forgetting he had yet to come up with a word for Iruka-sensei, he focused on the girl who had just left.
"Hinata…nice…and pretty…and weird."
He was certain that saying three words was breaking the rules, but he couldn't stop himself from grinning as he said them.
A/N: Most of these will probably be pretty fluffy. You've been warned.
