Where is her?

If his thoughts were screams, you bet on that can be heard in all Konoha and its surroundings. He was nervous, scared, sad and confuse. His blond spikes were a little lower than usual since he had not put on his black band neither his signature orange and black jumpsuit, since it was wearing the normal black tank top and orange pants. Yes, he was Naruto Uzumaki aka Konoha's new hero. He had manage to defeat the oh so mighty Pain, and 3 months later, he also had fulfill his life promise to one of his favorites kunoichi, Sakura Haruno, bringing back her long time love Sasuke Uchiha. And to make things even better to the world, he also had manage to defeat Madara Uchiha, the master mind behind everything. But the new hero now had a pretty normal predicament, he had to tell the girl that jump out of the blue to save him and most importantly confess her love to him, that he only felt admiration for her. He only had to inform her that he was currently happy with his new relationship with a certain pink-haired girl. Yes, that's right: Sakura was no longer in love with Sasuke. And why is that? Not even Sakura herself could explain that, 'it just happened' she is now use to say.

After Pain attacked the village, he had no time to be hanging out,he had to save Teme and defeat Madara, a hero must have his priorities in order! So he had no time to speak with the shy kunoichi. He wanted to tell her that she was awesome and the most brave girl he had met! Let's not forget about how much he like those sweet words that escaped her lips... For the first time Naruto felt loved. And that is what is confusing him, he didn't want to reject Hinata and he neither want to stop seeing her. But he was afraid of getting to know her better. She will soon find out about his filthy room, how dirty he is towards hygiene in general, how dirty mouthed he is and his stupidity (on top of everything). He thought of her being a Hyuga and what kind of man she deserves, after all she's like a princess and as such, she deserves a gentleman, not quite a match with Naruto's personality.

He just couldn't stop thinking about her since the time he saw her during the 4th Ninja War. She looked so strong and determined defeating everyone in her way. Her long midnight hair moved along with her, like dancing. For a moment he was astonished; he really liked the way she fights, he was so focus on her movements and that distraction almost cost him the victory against Madara. Since then he had been avoiding her. Who could ever imagine Naruto Uzumaki being scared of someone who loves him? He thinks that choosing Sakura-chan is the wisest thing he can do. After all, it was going to be more easy and she already knows every little defect he has. Plus, Sakura-chan would be way more less picky than a Hyuga. He was so lost in thought that he barely felt the touch in his shoulder.

"Um... Naruto?" He jumped in surprise only to see Sakura standing there with a smile on her lips. God, she is beautiful.

"Sakura-chan!, what are you doing here? I was suppose to talk with Hinata, alone...remember?"

"I know! Just came here to make sure you don't say anything stupid." She pecked him on the cheek. Sweet cherry lipstick was being wipe off of Naruto's cheek by her thumb. He enjoyed every second of the contact.

"H-hi, Naruto-kun...Sakura-chan" A surprised Hinata arrived with confusion spread all over her face. What was Sakura-chan doing here? She started to blush at the sight of the blond guy. Seeing the blush in her face, Naruto crack up a grin, 'it's amazing what your friends presence can do, dattebayo!' He thought eyeing Hinata. She really make him happy.

"Hinata finally! I want to talk to you... I have many things to tell you!". Sakura saw Naruto's expression and she felt jealous of the way he was looking at her. First there was only her and HER boyfriend; and then she came making Naruto smile like that.

Hinata just smile at Naruto's grin. She missed that goofy smile of him and couldn't help but blush and looking somewhere else to keep her from fainting. After all, who could resist a gorgeous blond guy with whisker-like marks on his cheeks?

"Mm...Ok...Let's t-talk then." She said quietly doing her signature fingers mannerism.

Naruto make Sakura a gesture to leave, he really wanted to set the record straight with the bluenette alone! But much for his discomfort Sakura instead of leaving, open her mouth to talk. Doing what she was now used to do: defending her happiness and that happiness is Naruto's new duty. He promised her to make her happy after Sasuke-kun rejected her.

"Actually, Hinata-chan, WE wanted to talk to you."

Naruto was confuse. Looking at her with questioning eyes; he kept listening, waiting to hear what she was going to say next.

"We?" Asked Hinata. Same expression as Naruto. Since when Naruto and Sakura were a 'We'? They were always Naruto and Sakura, but now they are a 'we'?

"Yes, listen this is unofficial yet, but soon everyone will know..." The pinkette said blushing, "but I wanted to tell you first because now Naruto and you seem so close." You could see the envy in Sakura's voice when she pronounced that part, about Hinata's and Naruto's closure. "And because you and I are friends too." She finished touching the Hyuga in the shoulder.

"What is it?" Hinata makes a fake giggle, hoping to know soon, she felt something was wrong. "P-please don't m-m-make me w-wait!" Her stuttering was starting to reappear as she mixed it with fake enthusiasm.

Naruto on the other hand was speechless, what is in Sakura-chan's mind?

"Naruto and I...We...are in a relationship."

Naruto's mouth dropped,

Hinata's head did the same thing

And Sakura was blushing madly.

"Aren't you happy for me?" Sakura started to laugh as she wrapped her arms around Hinata. Feeling the hug she quietly hugged back. "Y-y-yes! C-cong-g-gratulat-tions!"

"What are you doing Sakura-chan?" Naruto's mad question interrupted the 'friendly' scene. The blond gave a 'wtf' look to Sakura, narrowing his eyebrows too.

"Honey! I was telling her about the thing we planned two weeks ago!"

Wait! That means they have been boyfriends for two weeks?

"T-two weeks?" Asked a now broken Hinata. She felt like crying but she was also interested in how and why Naruto was reacting. Was he mad about something?

"Yes! Isn't that great?"

"Sakura-chan! Stop it! This isn't how we planned it and you know that! I was supposed to talk to Hinata first and then I was going to figure out what I feel!" He gave her a despicable look. "Remember the advice from Iruka-sensei?"

"Oh please Naruto! You have already said that you love me!" And then was the final drop in that glass of 'repressed sadness'. Hinata couldn't bear with it anymore. She ran away not listening to Sakura's voice calling her name. And not even caring to listen the blond guy who broke her heart telling her to wait. To please do not go.

Naruto was about to run and trap Hinata. He has this obligation of explain everything to her since he avoided her all those months, not even bothering to find her and talk to her. He was about to run when he was stop by Sakura's hand.

"Why did you do that?" He felt miserable.

"Naruto...please do not yell at me, you were going to reject her anyway...I'm sorry but I felt jealous."

"I don't care right now, we have to find her!" He moved his arms up and down showing his concern. The frustration was getting evident as he was biting his lip thinking in places where she could run away. But nothing came into his mind so he was even more desperate than before.

"Naruto! Are you listening to me?"

He was lost again in thoughts because Sakura-chan was moving her lips but he didn't listen.

"What? Let's go find her!" He set himself free of Sakura's embrace as he was staring to make hand seals.

'Kage Bushin no Jutsu'

And then suddenly there were a thousand clones just for the search of one girl. Searching everywhere around Konoha, there was still no clue. Sakura had regretted everything she said, she made Hinata feel terrible and she was willing to beg for forgiveness. 'What was I thinking? She is my friend and Naruto loves me.' She thought.

She started to search in the 7 team's training ground, her woman intuition was telling her to search there. And there she was: Hinata sitting bellow a tree, head down and bangs covering her eyes. Her arms around her knees, she was shaking but no tears can be seen.

"Hey" Sakura said whispering, sitting besides her.

"Hey..." The Hyuga replied back with a sad tone with her head still down.

"Hinata, I'm really so-" before she could finish, Hinata interrupted her.

"He really likes you. I'm so jealous." Now she was looking at the pink-haired kunoichi. Eyes with no tears, but full of pain and jealousy.

"Well...I...just listen, I'm sorry. Yes, Naruto and I are boyfriends, but it really is like an only dating thing-" she couldn't finish, the Hyuga girl interrupted again.

"Didn't he said he loved you?" Hinata's serious tone was starting to affect Sakura. Stuttering was over.

"I made that up..." Sakura said regretfully, unable to see her in the eyes.

"Why?"

"He loves me! I know he does, he promise me he would make me happy and I'm in love with him too. Please understand Hinata!" She was starting to beg to the Hyuga heir to clear the way in Naruto's love interest.

"I do. I understand, Sakura-chan."

"HINATA!" A familiar voice reach the ears of both kunoichi's. Hinata knows exactly what to do.

"Hinata! Why did you run like that? Please listen to me." Naruto said grabbing both of the Hyuga shoulders, making her blush and making Sakura sad.

"...I...p-please let m-me go..." She said lowering her head, so Naruto could not see the pain in her eyes.

"Sorry" he said setting her free, his face still showing concern, he really hope that he could talk to her alone now. Oh wait! But Sakura-chan is here too!

"Sakura-chan, please..."

"Yes, I know. See you then, Hinata." She smiles to Hinata, but the Hyuga didn't reply the happy gesture. She remained serious wanting to hear Naruto.

"Hinata, I didn't mean this to happen the way it did."

"I know Naruto-kun, you were just going t-to reject me f-first a-a-and then go with your b-b-beautiful girlfriend." She manage to say stuttering, she couldn't control herself in front of him. Unable to meet her eyes, Naruto switch his position to get a better look to Hinata's face. They were now exchanging looks. Pale violet eyes connecting with blue sky ones.

"Hey! Don't say that, ok? Yes, I do love Sakura-chan but-"

"It-t-t's okay! N-Naruto-kun really! I'm very h-happy for you." She faked a smile, everyone could see that smile was fake. But Naruto being as dense as he is, didn't even notice.

"Huh? You are not sad?" He was disappointed that Hinata didn't even going to put a fight for him. His tone of voice was sad and Hinata notice, so she tries to make him feel better. It's official Hinata will always be a lost cause when it comes to Naruto.

"Why would I? Y-you are m-my hero, also I...I...I l-love...you, I want you to be happy!" Fake enthusiasm again. Naruto smiles when she pronounced the words hero and love.

"Hinata...really?" Did she really meant what she said? 'You're my hero and I love you' that sounded really nice. A smile escaped Naruto's lips.

"I hope you guys last forever."

"Hinata..." He couldn't believe how wonderful she was. Sweet and understanding, let's not forget how loving and cute. Naruto was getting caught by Hinata's beautiful long eye lashes and her blush...that faint blush was so lovely! Really, he wasn't paying attention of what Hinata was saying.

"N-Naruto-kun?"

"Hinata...please don't take this for granted!" He said in a loud voice grabbing her shoulders again. He finally knows what to say as a determine look can be seen in his pupils. He looked straight at Hinata's beautiful eyes, secretly enjoying to look her blushing madly at his contact.

Hinata remained silence. She was expecting for Naruto to say 'I love you more', really? Who was she kidding?

"What Sakura-chan and I have...It's just that...I made a promise to her! To make her happy...and she needs me!"

"T-that's what I was t-telling you!" She said in a loud voice. Her eyebrows furrow and her face reflected annoyance. "If you m-make t-t-that promise to her you sh-should keep it...you n-n-never take b-back your words!"

"That's my nindo." A very nostalgic Naruto finished the phrase.

"N-Naruto-kun...if you a-are r-really happy then you sh-should go for it. I never have thought to jump out of nowhere to save you. I never have thought that I was capable of hitting Pain in the face, and I never ever in my life thought that someday I would tell you how I feel about you...I never thought I could be that brave. You make me stronger by inspiring me and all I have to say to you is thank you. And that you don't have any obligation with me. Just be happy...I'll be happy watching you" Her speech was unbelievable, he was surprised once again by her. She is really amazing! She didn't even stutter! Naruto then smiled and put his hands down, both of them have forgot about him grabbing her shoulders.

"You are amazing..." He manage to say in a trance. Hinata blushed even more. He was in love with her? All he knows is that he really want to spend so much time with this lovely girl.

"Hinata, I still owe you and answer...for that thing you said...remember?" He was now blushing, he never have felt ashamed before, but now looking at her it was inevitable.

'Crap! My confession! Ekk~! What to do? What to do?' Hinata thought getting redder and redder.

"I...remember, y-yes."

"Well... I think you are very amazing! I mean not even Sakura-chan fought the way you did. And in the war, I was astonished by you! I love your fighting style..." Realizing that he was losing the point, he scratches the back of his head, then take a deep breath and continued, "...All I have to say is that I admire you too, and that I'm really stupid for not realizing your feelings before, I feel guilty of all the times I said that you were weird and dark. I realized that being dark and weird it's good, really good! And now I see the pressure you have been put up to. And that you're like me in many ways...we share the same nindo, so I was thinking if you would like to spend more time with me...maybe if you want to be my new best friend." He didn't get to the point he wanted, but he said what was on his heart just by seeing her smiling and blushing like that.

"I will love to, I've always wanted to." She smiled at him, red as a tomato and looking up to keep her from fainting.

"Thank you!" Naruto said wrapping his arms around her, feeling her scent... 'Vanilla, nice!' He thought. Then Naruto didn't feel her hugging back.

"Hinata?, ne Hinata!" He looked at her and smile, he should have not do that.

She had fainted, and she looked adorable.
