Secret #1.
Hinata took a deep breath, inhaling all the scents the cold night air gave. It was going to be one of those nights, she thought as she scanned the area unconsciously. Worse still, was the fact that the water was gone, therefore she couldn't make herself a nice hot cup of tea to warm up her body.
Activating her byakugan, the young heiress searched for the nearest water source, only to find it 3 miles away. Sighing, she wished she could build a fire, but it was too risky in these forest and they couldn't fail on their mission. She should have brought a blanket but she gave it to Naruto for him to sleep in. Hinata smiled at the thought of her love. He was on this mission with her and her teammates, and had forgotten to bring a blanket-of course, she giggled-and Hinata let him borrow hers, of course. Oh well, only a few more hours, then Shino will take over.
As she thought this, a strange noise came from behind her, instinctivelyely Hinata stood up in a defensive position with her kunai and byakugan activated. No other chakras than her own and her teammates in the area, she widened her search, still nothing. She lowered her guard when suddenly she heard it again and she realized it was coming from inside the tent.
NO! how did I miss it? Is there a ninja skilled enough to hide their chakra completely?
Without thinking, Hinata flew to the tent and raced inside ready to defend her friends at all cost, only to realize the noise was none other than Naruto himself, snoring the night away. Hinata sweat dropped. Oh Naruto. Be it good or bad, Naruto always did make her heart race. Comforted by the fact that her friends were not in danger, Hinata returned to her spot and kept a watchful eye for enemies.
As the night dragged on, the air got colder and colder. Soon enough Hinata was shivering from head to toe. She kept her mouth shut tight for fear of waking her teammates up with her shivering. Hinata was so concentrated on keeping her mouth shut that she didn't hear her teammate approach her from behind.
"Hey Hinata!," whispered Naruto, though in the silence of the night it sounded a bit loud. Hinata jumped and let out a squeal.
"N-Naruto-kun?," flushing red, Hinata was embarrassed at being caught off guard. What would Naruto think of her now?
"How is it going? Anything exciting happen?" grinned the blonde ninja.
Well, other than snoring incident and being caught off guard, Instead, she replied, "No, It's been q-quiet, s-so far." For once in her life Hinata was glad she sturered, she did not want to embarrass herself further by letting it be known she was freezing. "W-why are you up, N-naruto-kun?"
A second passed and no answer cam from the boy, worried Hinata glanced at him only to blush even more when she found him staring at her intenlty. "N-naruto-k-kun?"
The intensity of those blue eyes! "I-is s-something w-wrong?"
"Hinata, what shampoo do you use?"
What? What could he mean? Shampoo? Should she answer him?
"Um, H-herbal Essence?"
"Really? Which one."
"T-the Purple one..?"
"I see."
The heiress was beyond confused. "N-naruto-kun? Why..why.."
Naruto suddenly laughed, "It's just that I could smell your hair and it smells nice."
Oh goodness! Hinata, blushing, forced out a reply, "T-thank You."
Naruto smiled his bright smile, dazzling Hinata.
They sat in a comforting silence for awhile, until Hinata let out a shiver.
"Hinata, are you cold? Do you want a blanket?" asked Naruto.
"No t-thank you, I-I'm fine." Hinata forced herself not to shiver, not an easy thing to do, even for a ninja like helrself, she idly wondered if Kurenai-sensei would be able to supress a shiver. Hmm, what about Neji?
Pushing those thoughts aside for later, she and Naruto lapsed into a comforting silence as both ninjas keept watch, when the shuddering of teeth broke the silence. Hinata cursed inwardly, and Naruto got up and went back to the tent.
This hurt the heiress feelings, He doesn't want to be around me, he must think I'm too weak of a ninja for him, she thought.
A second later, before tears could fall, Hinata felt the weight and warmth of her blanket around her shoulders.
Naruto sat next to her and put his arm around her shoulders and returned to watching the forest. Blushing madly, Hinata finally muttered a thank you to which Naruto returned it with a smile. Hinata snuggled closer and watched the forest, ecstatic at the moment they were having. She would never, ever forget this night.
