I just realized I didn't have a disclaimer. Oops. As I'm sure you're aware, Naruto, Hinata and any other sundry character I may choose to invovle in this story are not my property. Nor am I in anyway affiliated with the official manga or anime. They belong to... well, whoever currently owns Naruto, not quite sure who that is. Suffice, it's not me. I just like to make them do things. And now, on with the show.

Hinata woke up smiling, the sun on her face waking her gently. She sat up pushing away her blankets then carefully rolling up her bed, she looked around and realized, today was her day. Everything she could want was her's already, she just had to take it. She looked outside and the trees were hers and the flowers, everything belonged to her. With a smile she turned to her closet and picked out her clothes, she picked up her regular outfit pulling it on, and then paused, she looked down and with a grin, threw her jacket back, "Not today."

She went to the kitchen and the staff was already cooking her favorite breakfast. With a grin, she thanked them and told them that it was her day. They smiled, not really understanding, but happy to see Miss Hinata happy. She ate slowly, savoring her food, then went to training with her team.

She got there early and began training herself. When the rest of the team got their they got to sparring, and she just won every match. She couldn't lose, it was her day. Kurenai was so impressed she told Hinata to take off early for the day.

She walked back to the market and found money on the ground, she picked it up and looked around, no one seemed to be looking for it. With a grin, she went on to the ramen stand. She knew Naruto would be there. Today was her day, she couldn't fail today. She passed a woman with groceries for her baby looking frantically through her purse, unable to find her money, Hinata went over and silently slipped the money on the counter for her. The woman was almost in tears in thanks. "It was nothing," Hinata said smiling, "Today's my day, it's the least I can do."

She left and headed on to Ichitaru's when Naruto came flying around the corner. "HEY! HINATA!" he yelled, running toward her. "You wanna have some ramen with me?"

Naruto grabbed her hand dragging her along with him, not even waiting for her quiet "Sure."

Hinata ran along behind him, keeping up easily, trying to concentrate on her breathing, so she didn't pass out, though she couldn't control how red she was turning. When they got to the stand he turned around to look at her, "Hey Hinata, you're all red, are you okay? Here, you better sit down," he said pulling out a stool for her.

Hinata sank into it gracefully. "Thankyou, but I... I really do feel fine," she said with a tentative smile.

"What'll you guys have?" Ayame asked.

"Miso," Naruto said immediately.

"I'll, uh, I'll have the same," said Hinata.

Naruto looked at Hinata and tilted his head, "You look different, did you cut your hair?" he asked trying to figure out the change.

Even Hinata had to laugh at that, "No," she managed to get out.

"Your clothes!" he exclaimed finally figuring it out. "You look great!" he said before being completely distracted by the ramen. "Ikitakimasu." (It's probably spelled wrong, sorry.)

Hinata smiled, and said a quite "Thank you," before joining him in the meal. He'd gone through about half a dozen bowls by the time she made it through one.

"So, Hinata, what are you doing this afternoon?" he asked wiping his mouth and giving a contented sigh.

"I, well, I don't have any plans, do you..."

"Great! We should hang out, we could go to the park or something," he interrupted.

Hinata smiled, this really was her day. "Sure," she said quietly.

"Great! Let's go," he said grabbing her hand and dragging her along behind him again. They got to the park and he slowed down, they walked and he talked, Hinata did most of the listening. Naruto told her about his missions and how he was going to be Hokage someday and that everyone would recognize him as the greatest ninja ever. Hinata listened to all his stories and believed him, because to her Naruto could do anything he set his mind to. He beat Neji.

The sun was finally going down and Hinata realized that Naruto had actually spent the entire afternoon with her. Naruto had actually stopped talking for a moment staring at the sunset. With a sigh Hinata said, "I... I should probably get home. F...Father expects me for supper."

"Oh," Naruto said, suprised, "Alright, I'll walk you there then," he said, but he didn't drag her along, he walked slowly chattering like he didn't want her to leave almost as much as Hinata.

They finally made it to the Hyuuga compound and Naruto stopped just before the gates, "Well," he said his hand rubbing the back of his head, "I guess I'll see you tomorrow then."

Hinata stopped and looked up at him, then she dropped her eyes back to her feet, her blush rising even more, "Naruto, I...I," she choked on the words unable to get them out almost ready to cry, but, It's my day! she though furiously and then suprised herself by launching herself toward Naruto giving him a quick peck. She gasped when she realized what she'd done and turned to run into the house.

"Hinata," Naruto said stunned, acting on instinct, he grabbed her hand before she could escape, "Hinata, doyouwannagooutwithme?" he asked quickly running all the words together he was so nervous.

Hinata blinked, seeing nothing but his blue eyes, she could feel herself loosing consciousness, "Ye,ye...yes," she managed to get out before fainting. Naruto grabbed her before she could fall and looked around helplessly. The Hyuuga's came and took Hinata inside leaving Naruto by himself. He walked home with a dazed goofy grin on his face. It was very similar to the one that Hinata had when she woke up. She stood up and went and looked out the window, it was her day, and it was perfect.

When I opened my eyes this morning,

The day belonged to me.

The sky was mine and the sun,

And my feet got up dancing.

The marmalade was mine and all the squares of the sidewalk

And all the birds in the trees.

So I stood and I considered

Stopping the world right there,

Making today go on and on forever.

But I decided not to.

I let the world spin on and I went to school.

I almost did it, but then I said to myself,

"Who knows what you might be missing tomorrow?"
