Comment if you like and Will try to update weekly
It's been a week since Naruto defeated Pein and as happy as he wanted to be about being called the hero of Konohagakure, he had only one thing or yet one person on his mind. That was Hinata. She was going to give her life to save him. Not only that, she said she loved him. He had a hard time wrapping his head around that. He knew that she lived after Pein had stabbed her when he went back into sage mode, after the the kyuubi almost took over. He then found out when Pein had slammed her down she hit her head and was now in a coma. Naruto was walking down the street to the hospital that Yamado made first to start the rebuild. He picked some flowers right outside the village and went to Hinata's room. When he got there, he replaced the flowers he picked the day before. She layed in the bed silent, but she looked so beatiful and he couldn't figure out why. He sat down beside her and placed his hand on top of hers. It was later in the day and the sun was about to set. He spent the day helping Yamado rebuild the village. He leared that in sage mode he could give Yamado extra chakra without turning him into a frog.
"Why" he asked. He was trying not to cry but the tears just started falling and he couldn't understand it. She was his friend and cared for her, but why does he feel this sad, almost like he loved her too. He couldn't though, he doesn't know what love is. At one point he thought he loved Sakura but relised that was just a crush. He then noticed someone walk in and he quickly wiped his face and noticed it was Neji. Naruto did his best and smiled, " Hey Neji, how's it going?" Neji looked at Naruto knowing full well he was faking his smile and said" We are making progress in building back, but we still have a long way to go." Naruto nodded and looked at Hinata gain. Neji walking over to Naruto and put a hand on his shoulder" Don't worry Naruto, I know she will be awake soon." Naruto just kept staring. " Neji I know you know what happened, but there's something she said to me." Neji stared for a moment and asked" She confessed her love for you, didn't she?" Naruto looked up shocked and nodded. Neji sighed" I'm not sure if I should be telling you this, but I'm going to anyway. Hinata and me have only been close because of you and she confided in me one night about how she felt about you. It happened when you both were about five and she was getting bullied by some kids. She then told me you came in and tried to protect her."
Naruto thought back but couldn't remember. Neji continued," Ever since that day, she looked at you from a far and saw how you were treated. She loved how you always stood up for yourself and kept pushing forward. Then you guys were in the acadamy and she would boast on how you never gave up and gave your best." Neji then smiled and said" She said you were always causing trouble and making jokes, but still always tried your hardest. But what she loved the most about you was it gave her a reason to push herself harder. She wanted to be stronger for you." Naruto was trying so hard not to completly break down, but tears still fell. Neji sat up and said" Naruto, you are my friend and always will be. But please don't blame yourself, Hinata did what she did, because she felt it was right. What you can do now is just hope for her to get well soon." Neji got to the door and smiled" It wouldn't hurt to maybe take her out on date when she get's better too." Neji slowly shut the door and Naruto just couldn't hold it in anymore and started to cry. He sobbed next to Hinata and just wished she would be better. While crying he put his head down by her bed and said" Please Hinata wake up, I promise I'll take you out to ramen when it gets built."
Naruto kept crying and then he felt a hand move and he shot his head up. There was Hinata staring at him with a confused look on her face. Naruto jumped up and wrapped his arms around her and started crying" Hinata I'm so glad your awake! I'm so sorrry! This is all my fault!" Hinata was still out of it, but felt Naruto hugging her and was happy and nervous at the same time. Naruto then asked" Hinata why? Why risk your life to save me?" Naruto then let go of his hug and Hinata said" I... I just saw you there being hurt, and I.. I.. I just couldn't let you suffer like that. But I'm glad your okay." She then looked down sadly and said" No thanks to me, guess everyone was right about me being a failure." Naruto then looked at her sternly and said" Your an idiot". Hinata looked up in suprise and Naruto's face soften and said" Your not a failure. If anything your just as much as a hero as me, nobody else came to help but you and thanks to you I was able to escape, in a weird way, but nevermind that." Naruto kept looking into her eyes, and kept thinking as blank as thier were, they were still beautiful.
Naruto then looked down and asked" So Hinata, did you mean what you said?" Hinata then looked at him funny and he said" About being in love with me." Hinata turned bright red and looked down and nodded. Naruto smiled and said" Well I can't say I feel the same, at least not right now, but I know I care for you and I may not know now what being in love is like I wouldn't mind us trying it out." Hinata's head shot up and asked" So does that mean..." Naruto smiled and said" I guess if you want to try and date a idoit like me, I would like that very much." Hinata about passed out but somehow kept from fainting and smiled" I would like that very much Naruto." Naruto smiled and said" okay, from this day forward we are a couple and I'm going to take care of you." Hinata smiled and said" I guess I will be counting on you."
Sakura came in before night came and was happy to see Hinata awake. She did some basic vitals and said she could leave tomorrow. Sakura then told them that Tsunade wad still in a coma and might be for some time. Sakura took her leave and left Naruto and Hinata alone. Naruto stayed with Hinata that night. She insisted that he go home and she would be fine, but he had his mind set that he was staying. Hinata went to sleep and Naruto was in a chair and laid his head down next to her on her bed. He was so so relived that she was awake and not only that, she accepted him to date her. He never had a girlfriend before, and he was excited to see what it was like. Naruto saw Hinata jump in front of Pein, and he yelled for her to run away. But she stayed and with that sweet smile she turned to him and said it again" Because I love you." Then he saw it, Hinata being lifted in the air and slammed down and him stabbing her. Naruto woke up in a panic and he saw Hinata sleeping peacefully.
Naruto couldn't stop looking at her, she just seemed more beautiful to him then he ever remembered. He laid his head down again to try and sleep, and though he had another nightmare about her, he was glad she would wake up in morning. Light was shining through the window and Hinata opened her eyes, to see Naruto sleeping with his head down next to her on the bed. She frowned because it looked so uncomfortable. But she saw his face and he seemed so peaceful. She then got all excited knowing they were a couple and though he may not love her yet, he still cared for her and that's a start. Naruto woke up confused on where he was, then he saw Hinata smiling at him. He smiled and said" Morning beautiful." She blushed and said" Morning Naruto." He said he had to go and help out Yamato in rebuilding but would be back to walk her home. Hinata smiled and he left and she began to worry. She had always loved Naruto, but knew her father always told her to stay away from him. She and her father have soon to grow apart after her father chose her sister to become the successor to the clan and he mostly ignored her.
Hinata was hoping her father would just ignore this part of her life as well. Sakura came in and gave her one final check up and said she was clear to leave. Hinata then asked if she was okay to leave when Naruto came to get her. Sakura smiled and said it was fine. A few hours later Hinata heard the door open and Neji stepped in and ran up to give his cousin a hug. He was so happy and didn't care that he was crying. He really has come to care for her since their battle and always felt like he needed to make up for it. When he let go she smiled and said" Guess what? Naruto has asked me to be his girlfriend" Neji smiled and said" Well it's about time that big dobe got it." She frowned and he smiled and said" you know I'm kidding cousin, Naruto is one of my best friends, but he is a little slow at times." She giggled knowing it was true, Naruto was the only one in the village who knew she didn't love him. She then asked" How's father doing?" Neji sighed and said" He's doing okay, just trying to rebuild what's left of the Hyuga compound." She looked down" Do you think my father will accept me and Naruto?" Neji looked to his side and said" I honestly don't know. He never really cared for Naruto, but that was before all this, so who knows.
Naruto ran to to hospital after helping Yamato build more. Things were going faster then anyone thought possiable as far of rebuilding, thanks to Naruto. Naruto went to Hinata's room and he knocked, knowing she was now awake and he didn't want to intrude. She said to come in and Naruto saw her standing by the window and couldn't help but smile." Hey Hinata, ready to get out of here?" She smiled" I think I am." Naruto took her by the arm" Okay, let's get you you home, I'm sure your father will be happy your well." Hinata started walking with Naruto wondering if her father really was worried about her. Hinata looked around at all the new things built." A lot has already been rebuilt, I'm so glad." Naruto couldn't help but feel relaxed with Hinata holding onto his arm and just seeing her being awake and walking around made him happy. They finally reached where the Hyuga estate was being rebuilt. Naruto walked her up to the door and she looked down a little nervous" Thanks for walking me home today Naruto it means a lot to me." Naruto smiled and before he could say anything Hiashi opened the door.
The look in her father's eye was enough to make her cringe." Hinata, come in here this instance!" He yelled. Hinata tried to say something but he cut her off "I don't care, I don't want you hanging out with him." Naruto looked at him with anger" And why would that be?" Hiashi glared at him and said" We are Hyugas and my daughter will not be with you." Naruto was angry but felt sad for Hinata and decided it was best for him to bow out of this. He bowed and started walking off. Hinata started to yell at her father which caused Naruto to stop and listen. She had tears running down her face" I have always loved Naruto and want to be with him. Why does it matter who I'm with? Your other daughter is taking over the clan anyway." Hiashi was surprised at his daughter yelling back at him. She has never once spoke back to him. He then looked at her with anger and said" How dare you speak to me that way!" He raised his hand and there was a loud smack that could be heard a block away.
Hinata opened her eyes feeling no pain and saw Naruto standing in front of her. Hiashi looked at him and the red mark on his face with a shock. Naruto had a look to kill, but lucky the fox's power wasn't showing. He started at her father and said" If you think about laying a hand on her..I'll FUCKING KILL YOU" Naruto's yelling called a few guards to where the three were standing. Hiashi couldn't believe what was going on but he looked at Hinata and Naruto and said" Okay Hinata, You have a choice. If you leave with him, you will be not allowed back here and I will disown you as my daughter." Hinata looked at her father with so much pain and hurt, but nodded." Okay Hiashi, I will take my leave." She then turned and started to walk and Naruto followed in shock." Hinata are you sure about this? I don't want to be the cause of this." Hinata had tears in her eyes but smiled and said" Naruto, I love you, and my father has never been as kind as you. I am sad to lose him, but I would rather have you then him. I'm sure I can find somewhere to stay for the time being." Naruto walked to her and hugged her." Don't be stupid Hinata... Of course your gonna stay with me.
Hinata just stared at him" I don't want to trouble you Naruto." Naruto grabbed her hand and said" You just said you would rather have me then your father, The very least I can do is give you somewhere to stay. Unless you don't want to stay with me." Hinata shook her head" I would love to stay with you. As long as you don't think I'll be any trouble. Naruto smiled" I'm Naruto Uzumaki! Trouble is what I'm best at. Now let's go home." They walked to a little outside of the village and they came to a small house and Naruto said" Sorry but Yamato asked how I wanted the house and I didn't want anything to big. You know being on my own sometimes, I didn't want something big and empty." Hinata felt so sad for him, knowing the life he had. Naruto then smiled and said" Well we should get inside and have dinner." He took her hand and brought her inside.
They walked in and Hinata noticed it was mostly empty. Naruto went to the kitchen and said" I know there's not a lot in here. The village is slowly getting stuff so people have stuff in their house. All I wanted was a bed so that's the only furniture I have. Are you okay with instant ramen?" Hinata giggled" Ramen sounds great." They both ate quietly, knowing there was a lot to talk about but just not a way to make it easy. After they ate, Naruto showered her around and pointed at the shower for her to use and he would find some clothes to borrow. Hinata nodded and she got in the shower. When she was in there she couldn't help but feel turned on, knowing Naruto was in the other room while she was naked. She began touching herself trying not to moan to loudly. She kept fingering herself till she heard a knock that almost made her fall. Naruto then yelled through the door" Hinata I have some clothes outside the door on the handle. Don't worry I won't look." Hinata was so startled that she couldn't finish what she started and turned the water off.
She dried off with the towel outside the shower and she reached for the clothes outside the door. Her heart pounded knowing Naruto could be watching though he said he wouldn't. She got the clothes and put them on. They were baggy and she felt weird in them, but if Naruto wore them, she would be okay with them. She walked out of the bathroom and Naruto was near the bed, with his shirt off! She blushed and he turned around" Sorry, but since rebuilding I have only a few pieces of clothes and your wearing my night time stuff. I will say it does look better on you then me." She blushed harder and looked at him. He was so good looking, from his chest, arms, and his abs. He then said" I only have one bed so you can have it and I'll sleep on the floor. Hinata shot her head up and said" No! I couldn't kick you out of your own bed. I'll sleep on the floor." Naruto frowned " There's no way I'm letting you sleep on the floor." Hinata blushed " I guess we could you know.. sleep next to each other
It was now Naruto who blushed" If you feel comfortable with me. But I um.. have no clothes to sleep in, cause your wearing what I wear at night." Hinat kept looking down" That's fine, As long as your r rr ok k ay with i tt t." Her stutter came back and Naruto blushed" If your okay with it, then I guess we better get to bed." Hinat got into bed first on the left side. Hinata followed on the right side and they both layed quiet and Naruto spoke up" I'm sorry for what your going through Hinata. I know I'm not perfect, but I hope you let me show you I'm someone to count on." Hinata put the covers near her face" I know I can Naruto, I know you will never let me down." Naruto turned to his side" Good night Hinata." She smiled " good night Naruto." Then they both nodded off to sleep.
Hinata woke up in the middle of the night and had to go to the bathroom. When she got back, she noticed Naruto curled up in a ball. He was shaking and crying. Hinata felt her heart breaking seeing the one she loved like that. He mumbled her name and she laid next to him. She wasn't sure what to do. then she just laid his head on her chest as he kept crying. He mumbled" Hinata, please don't die." She just rubbed his head and whispered" shhhh, Naruto I'm here." Naruto finally stopped shaking and stopped crying. His face relaxed and she couldn't help but feel sad. How many times did he cry himself to sleep. He never had anyone to comfort him, but she knew now that she could do it. She smiled as he seemed to calm down to a peaceful sleep and she soon fell asleep feeling her love in her arms.
Naruto had some sun hit his face as he woke up and noticed he was curled up with Hinata. He blushed and noticed his boxers were really tight. He slowly slid her off of him trying not to wake her. He went to the bathroom and turned on a very cold shower. He got out and put on his clothes on. When he got out of the bathroom he saw Hinata changing clothes. He ran out of the room and yelled" Sorry Hinata, I didn't know you were changing! Please don't hate me." Hinata was of course embarrassed having him see her but giggled how much he cared about her and privacy. She walked out to the kitchen and Naruto looked at her nervously and said" I'm really sorry Hinata, I had no idea you were changing." Hinata Smiled" It's okay Naruto, I know you didn't know." He then smiled that smile that made her melt" I'm glad then, how about he have some breakfast, then I have to help with the village." She smiled" Yeah I'm going to get with my sensei to see what I can do to help as well." Naruto frowned" Are you sure Hinata? I mean you just got out of the hospital."
Hinata sat nect to him at the dining room table and said" I'm sure, I'm sure I can help someway." They both smiled and Naruto's door slammed open causing him to jump. A load bark came through the door along with yelling." Damn you naruto, what have you done with Hinat?" Naruto shot out of his chair and yelled back" Damn it Kiba, why don't you knock?" Shino walked in silent as he always his and Kiba spoke again" We wen't to the hospital to visit Hinata and they said she went home. But we checked your home and your farther was being an asshole and said you wern't there. I then had Akamaru sniff you out. I didn't thin you would end up at this loser's place." Naruto heard enoguh" Hey dog boy, take a hike before I call the pound to take you away." Kiba glared at Naruto, but before he could say anything Shino stepped in" Hinata, I am glad your awake, but you should have let us know. We were very worried about you."
Hinata looked down and said" sorry, a lot happened when I woke up, and I guess I forgot." Shino nodded and looked at Naruto who still had a look of jealously on his face to Kiba" Anyway we will leave. But you should check in With Kurenai sensai. She has been worried about you as well." Hinata nodded " I plan to see her today anyway, to see what I can do to help." Shino nodded" Kiba let us go, we are intruding." Kiba glared one more time only to see Naruto stick out his tongue. Kiba was about to yell when Shino grabbed his jacket. Kiba then grunted and walked out. Naruto looked at Hinata and said" Well that wen't well breakfast?" Hinata giggled and nodded. He pourded some cearal and thet talked a bit about the rebuild.
Naruto then mentioned how much he missed the ramen shop. Hinata then asked" Hey Naruto? I was wondering how come you like ramen so much?" Naruto stared off to the side, then smiled " Because Ichirahu was the first adult who didn't look at me like I'm a monster." I ran by his shop when I was about five. I came in and sat down and he looked at me. For the first time, someone smiled at me. He asked what I wanted I told him I didn't know. So he fixed me up some ramen and I can't remember being so happy. Ever since then I just loved ramen, at the time I thought ramen made people be nice to each other. I know that's not true now, but it's why I love ramen. Hinata was crying the minute Naruto started his story. She couldn't help it, it wasn't right what he went through. Naruto looked at Hinata and tried to say something to make her stop crying" It's no big deal, really. I can't complain, I got plenty of friends, became hero of our village, and got a the best girlfriend out of it." Hinata smiled and wiped her tears away. She was still sad but knew he was right, and he can be happy now. They finished breakfest and Naruto got the door and said" Don't push yourself too hard Hinata. I'll be back later and we can spend more time together." Hinata smiled and Naruto let, but not before she felt even more in love with him.
