Stealth, Love and...NINJA'S!

Wassup? Welcome everyone to my first naruto fic. This little project is simply going to be a collection of one shots, many of them about…ROMANCE! Yes I was feeling board and I decided to simply toy with romances between different characters. So I do not own naruto, though that would be AWESOME! Now please read, review, and enjoy!

So this first one shot is dedicated to the sweet couple of narutoXhinata. So enjoy peoples!

"Come on Hinata, hang in there! Please?!" Naruto said as they quickly rushed Hinata to the infermary.

She had sustained many injuries from her brother Neji during the chunin exam, and now she was hanging on by a thread.

"Hinata please, just hang on."

As soon as they reached the infermary the medics set about their work, healing as much of her injuries as they could. Soon she was lieing on a hospital bed, still unconcious. But she wasn't alone, next to her was none other than Naruto. He sat beside her bed, keeping watch over her. She got hurt…because of me…because she wanted to be like me…Naruto thought to himself.

"I'm not giving up. Cause that's my ninja way…" she had said, even though she was too weak to fight any longer.

She had needed to face Neji sure, she'd needed to show she wasn't weak. But…for someone reason he still felt guilty…she didn't give up when she should have, all because of him. With a heavy heart, Naruto grasped her hand, holding it delicatly in his grip.

"Hinata…I don't really think that you can hear me…but if you can, then you need to hear this…" he sighed, his voice quivering slightly.


What's going on…? Hinata thought to herself, still unconcious. As she lied there, memories of her battle with Neji flashed through her mind. I was fighting Neji…but…did I win…?

No…I…lost…like I always do…

That's when she remembered a certain reckless ninja cheering her on in her fight.

Naruto…he…he was watching…he saw me…pathetic, never wins at anything, always messing up, me…

Now he'll never like me…

"Hinata…"

Naruto…?

"I don't really think you can hear me…but if you can, then you need to hear this…"

What?

"Hinata…stop trying to be like me…"

I knew it…he thinks I'm worthless…

"You don't need to be like me…Hinata…I-I love you, just the way you are..."

He hates m—WHAT?! Did I just hear that?! There's no way I heard that! But I thought he hated me, but he likes me? I-I-I…AUGH! WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SO #$$&*# CONFUSING?!

"So just know that hinata…know that I love you."

She felt his lips brush against her forehead, kissing her lightly.

He...he kissed me...


Naruto closed his eyes and laid his head lightly on the bed, his hand never leaving hers. It seemed like the silence in the room lasted for years, but then, that silence was broken. With a soft moan Hinata stirred from her slumber, her eyes opening to see the one person she loved the most.

"N-Naruto..." Hinata whispered, stunning the reckless ninja.

"Hinata? Hinata! You're awake!" he exclaimed, hugging her tightly.

"Ow..."

"what's the matter? What's wrong?!"

"Your elbow's on my hand."

He looked down to find that indeed his elbow was digging into her hand. He quickly pulled away his arm, giving her an apologetic smile.

"Whoops..."
