NaruHina FTW

(The events in this fan-fiction take place after Naruto defeated Pain)

The sky turned a dark blue color as a dark cloud came over the barely shining sun. Naruto Uzumaki was returning from a mission in the Sand Village, along with Kiba Inuzuka and Sakura Haruno, dashing at his side. He kept dashing tree limb to tree limb, taking caution that he didn't miss one, for it was very dark. After a few more leaps, they reached the Leaf Village's main gate. Naruto walked up to the guard, showed him his ninja profile papers, and entered the village. He looked at all the destruction the former Akatsuki leader, Pain, had caused. The whole center of the village had been blown away, but thankfully there was Captain Yamato, who was able to control wood and was rebuilding most of the houses and buildings with ease.

"Hey Naruto," shouted Kiba "Me and Sakura are going to head over to the Hokage's mansion and file the report on the mission. You coming?"

Naruto looked at them, and smiled. "Heh heh, sorry. I promised Iruka sensei that I would get up early to help train genin tomorrow. I need some sleep," replied Naruto.

"Okay, Naruto. We'll see you later than," shouted Sakura, as her and Kiba dashed off.

Naruto started walking towards his house. His mind was still set on his mission and what he could do better next time. Than he looked up and saw a figure move, from behind a walled-in bench. He walked up to it, and looked around it's corner and saw Hinata Hyuga standing there, her cheeks a bright red color. She was staring at the ground, not making eye contact with Naruto. Naruto looked away as he remembered what happened during his and Pain's fight. Hinata had stepped in to defend Naruto when he was down. He had asked her why she was risking her life for his cause, and she replied with a strange answer. She said that she loved him and attacked Pain. She was severely wounded, but Sakura had healed her. He looked back up at her as she was redder than before.

"Um... hi Naruto..." she said quietly. She looked more away from Naruto as she said this. Hinata had a tendency for being very shy and quiet.

"Oh... uh hey Hinata. How are you?" asked Naruto, smiling.

"Oh...um I'm okay... I-I guess..." replied Hinata, looking up slightly, then looking back down again.

"Well, that's good... Um...Hinata?" "Yes Naruto?" "Well...when I was fighting... Pain... when you came and... helped... did you mean what you said? ...that you...love me?"

Hinata looked up at him, really red in the face, and stuttered. "Y-Y-Y-Yes...," said Hinata, weakly.

Naruto looked at the woman standing in front of him. He hadn't really noticed her before, but now that he did...

"Hey Hinata?"

"Wh-What?"

"Where are you going?"

"Oh, um... I was going home, and then th-this storm..." replied Hinata, pointing feebly outside the wall-in. Naruto turned and saw it raining. 'When did it start raining?' he thought. He looked back at Hinata, who was sitting on the bench in the wall-in. He went over and took her hand, and pulled her up gently.

"Want me to walk you home?" asked Naruto, looking at her deeply. She looked up at him and smiled warmly.

"Yes Naruto. I would like that."

Naruto pulled out the umbrella he had been carrying in his kunai-bag. He opened it and walked out under the rain, as the sound of the droplets hitting the umbrella filled his ears. He turned and guided Hinata to his umbrella. Then he started walking with her to her house. Naruto thought about a bunch of things. Yeah he had always liked Hinata, just not as much as Sakura. But he never really realized this until Hinata confessed to him. Now a whole new door had opened up to him. He looked over at her and saw her smiling. He could tell that she was happy to be walking with him. They reached the Hyuga Mansion quickly. Naruto walked with Hinata up the steps to the top, right in front of the main entrance. He stopped and looked at Hinata. She looked up at him, blushing a lot. She then quickly lowered her head and opened the door. She looked back at him and smiled.

"Thanks for walking me home, Naruto," she stated sweetly. Naruto looked at her and smiled.

"Your welcome, Hinata." Hinata turned, but when she did, her sandal got stuck on a upward nail, and she fell back and toppled into Naruto who fell back. He had dropped his umbrella, and they were both being poured on. Hinata rose up, and was right on top of Naruto in a crawling position. Naruto looked up at her and turned a little red.

She bit her lip a little and looked away, and made a motion to get up. Naruto grabbed her shoulders, pulled her down gently, and kissed her. The kiss could've lasted hours or minutes. But time wasn't what was on Naruto's mind. He opened his eyes a little and saw Hinata had hers open, wide with shock. They broke apart and sat up, not saying anything, as the rain calmed into a slight drizzle. They looked at each other, and Naruto opened his mouth to speak.

"Hinata?"

"...yeah?"

Naruto looked away slightly and cleared his throat. "Well... if your not busy tomorrow after noon... would you like t-" Naruto was cut short by a hug from Hinata.

"Naruto... I've been wanting you to ask me that forever. Yes I will go out with you." He looked down at her, and he could tell her confidence boost went up by hundreds. She stood up and walked over to the door.

"Can you get me around 1:00?" asked Hinata, red and smiling.

"Y-Yeah that's fine," said Naruto, smiling a little. Hinata looked at him, laughed a little, and went inside. Naruto jumped up, and dashed off, as happy as can be, for he had just asked out a girl that he knew loved him and would treat him nicely
