The sound pf the alarm clock went up as Naruto finally fell asleep. He cried out in confusion and tried to sit up but smashed into the alarm by accident and groan. He got up, took a dump and proceeded to get dressed. Naruto grabbed his orange, white jacket and threw it around him as he looked down at the time and gasped, it said 9:00, and he was late... He immediately drank some milk and ran out the door screaming "Why does Ero-sennin make me do this?!"
While he was running hurriedly he clumsily bumped into Hinata and stumbled.
"Unum N-n-Naruto."
"Yes?"
"I just heard how you beat Neji." She said looking to the left.
Naruto looked at her blankly and suddenly realized she was talking about the chuunin exams...'Wow, that was a while back. Like 2 years I believe.'
"Oh, uh yeah. You just knew? Hinata, I thought you watched me." complained Naruto while trying to hide the fact that this was an awful excuse to want to talk to him.
Hinata looked sheepishly at the ground while shuffling her feet. "Well, I uh I umm...I kind of fainted... actually... during the match..."
Naruto looks at her shocked and says "Really? I'm so sorry; I hope you feel better now." He grins and pats her on the head. She blushed furiously and summoned her courage once more to say what was on her mind.
"I was actually looking for you N-Naruto...Um...Me and Kiba want to see you...Will you come?"
Naruto laughs in his head, 'I knew she wanted something.' His gaze slowly drifted onto the ground as he felt nervousness because he is already late for a mission but looks up at grins anyway "Ok sure let's go"
'I hope this doesn't take long' thought Naruto.
The sky was marvelous that day and the birds sang sweetly. Hinata was also feeling good luck and moved her light pupils to the side to catch glimpses of the blonde's handsome features. She looked away quickly as he turned his head and thought furiously inside her head. I love you Naruto.
The walked until they saw a park. Hinata pointed and motioned Naruto to follow her deep into the woods where they soon found Kiba standing.
"Why do you and Kiba want me?" He asked in his play happy tone.
"She has been meaning to tell you something, I'm just here to help bring the courage for her to say it." He was getting even grumpier.
"What is it Hinata?"
"Well Naruto-kun..."
"Naruto I finally found you we need to go." Jiraiya said coming out of no where.
"I love you." She said blushing furiously while looking down, Jiraiya and Naruto stunned looked at her in some surprised look.
"You know what, how about we leave on that trip tomorrow." He said and then took off.
"How long have you..." Naruto asked still stunned and ignoring the fact that Jiraiya was there.
"Since the academy days." Kiba answered for her, in a very low angry voice.
"Are you alright Kiba? You sound like you're in need of a cough drop." Naruto asked in a confused way.
"Alright, hell no, you know what I feel like, I feel like kicking your ass right here and now." He said getting even angrier, while Naruto gave him a confused look.
"Kiba what's the matter?" Naruto asked again trying to calm things down.
"K-Kiba, please calm down." Hinata finally spoke.
"Stay out of this Hinata!" Kiba yelled giving Naruto an angry glare, as Akamaru backed off from his owner very scared, and gave a low whimper.
Naruto looked at Akamaru.
"Look at you, even Akamaru is scared of you, get a grip man."
"Ill show you who is scared!" He exclaimed as he was about to dash but something was draping on his pants.
He looked down to see Akamaru lightly hanging on his pants as to hold him down. He stopped shocked and took a deep breath.
"Damn it, never mind forget it." Kiba gruffly said. He stalked off and disappeared through the trees, Naruto and Hinata staring after him.
"Kiba!" Hinata cried out after him but bit her tongue and held back. 'This will be the only time I will get the chance, I have to stay.'
After a few more moments, Hinata shyly glanced back up at Naruto and instantly looked back down, her face growing pinker with each second.
"Hm? Hinata. Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Naruto asked now going back on topic. He looked at her, peering through her eyes and seeing every emotion going on inside.
"Well, um I-I-I just um..." Hinata cut off and held her tongue. 'W-what am I suppose to say? T-that I was too shy? Too bashful? H-he would think' Hinata stared long and hard at the ground and finally looked up, quivering but still smiling.
Naruto stood there waiting for an answer. He needed one, because this was the first time someone confessed their love to him. 'But this is a problem' Naruto thought. 'Because-' Naruto instantly turned away, shocking Hinata and making her stumble back.
"N-Naruto?" she quietly mumbled.
'Yesterday, my wish finally happened. Sakura finally accepted me and now.' Naruto turned back to face Hinata and stared at her through his sky blue eyes.
The wind blew slightly and the fresh breeze tugged at the end of Hinata's hair before dancing with it. Why did Naruto not see it before? Standing right in front of him, Hinata looked beautiful. But his mind kept wandering to the thoughts of yesterday, when Naruto had met up with Sakura at the ramen shop.
Flashback
"Unum Naruto?"
"Yes Sakura-chan?" "I've been meaning to say..." "Hmm?" "That I'm very grateful that you tried to get Sasuke back." "It was nothing!"
Naruto stared at Hinata some more, 'But was what Sakura felt for him even love, she had loved him since academy, while Sakura...' Naruto started at her even more reading her every thought.
Jiraiya moved the branch, and looked at Naruto squarely, 'If only he paid that much attention in real battles, though this was kind of cute.' He thought slowly reaching for his pen and pad, when he lost his balance.
Jiraiya falls and Naruto and Hinata stare at him for a while. "Don't mind me! Continue! Please!" exclaim the old hermit. Both Hinata and Naruto exploded in laughter, and saw that Jiraiya had a huge bump on his head.
"Ero-sennin you are insane, you know that?" said Naruto, stifling his laughter.
"Yeah, well please continue, I'm conducting research..." said Jiraiya.
'YOU ASSHOLE! YOU'RE GETTIN YOUR SO CALLED 'RESEARCH' FOR YOUR NEXT PERVERTED NOVEL ON US!?!?!?! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" screamed the very embarrassed Naruto. Hinata smiled at their little spat
Jiraiya quickly ran away but little did the couple know that Jiraiya was spying on them from a nearby bush.
Naruto thought, "Maybe I should give Hinata a try"
So Naruto walked up to her. "Hey... uh, Hinata..."
"Oh? What is it N-Naruto?" replied Hinata, looking at him shyly with her big white eyes.
"Uh... would... would you like to go out for ramen sometime? My treat!" the Jinchuuriki said.
"Oh... ummmm..." she said. "Well... I guess if you don't want to..." said Naruto sadly.
"N...No! I... I... I'd love to go, Naruto..." she smiled faintly at him. "Well, how 'bout now?" he said.
Hinata built up her newfound confidence. "Sure Naruto... Ichiraku?"
"Where else!?" The two walked off towards Ichiraku Ramen, Jiraiya following close behind...
Oh my... I... I'm finally on a date... with Naruto! Thought Hinata as the two headed onward.
Jiraiya thought to himself, "Ooooooh this is gold! Pure Gold! This will be my best seller! Title... title... Ah! Icha Icha Paradise Part 2.
Arriving at Ichiraku's, Naruto was greeted with open arms.
"Who is this fine lady you are with today Naruto?", inquired Ichiraku.
"Oh umm… This is… ummmm"
"Your girlfriend?"
Immediately both Hinata and Naruto's cheeks flourished with a bright
pink.
"So it is...what is your name?" asked Ichiraku
"Hinata, sir, Hyuuga Hinata"
"Hinata... what a pretty name... and from the Hyuuga clan, now that's something... Man, Naruto, you sure know how to pick them!"
Naruto and Hinata both blushed again, and Naruto almost fell out of his seat.
"Well, what'll it be?"
"Well ichi old buddy old pal, I'd like pork, BBQ pork, and beef, chicken, and Miso bowl!" exclaimed Naruto.
"And for Ms. Hyuuga?"
"Ummmm... it all looks so good..." she couldn't decide.
"Well, how 'bout the BBQ pork? It's our specialty!"
"Oh! Okay! BBQ pork it is then!" she replied.
"Aright, and Naruto, because this is a special occasion, your orders are on the house!" said Ichiraku to the drooling Naruto.
"REALLY? THANKS ICHIRAKU! YOU ROCK!" yelled Naruto. Hinata smiled at his enthusiasm.
Their order's came quickly and Naruto, being the idiot that he is, gulfed down his food like a pig. Hinata who was in love with Naruto didn't mind at all of his bad table manners. She began to eat her BBQ ramen. Almost instantly, she fell in love with it. After eating, Naruto and Hinata went for a stroll in the village.
"So Hinata, what do you want do now?"
"I..."
"Want to see a movie?"
"Sure" Naruto and Hinata went to the Konoha Cinemas and bought two tickets to, When the Shinobi Arise. It was an action packed film with romance.
Naruto was having the time of his life, Hinata who didn't really pay attention in the movie only cared about two things; her head on Naruto's shoulder and Naruto.
Jiraiya was jotting down notes like no tomorrow. There was a man sitting next to him and he yelled," Jiraiya the famous author of the Come Come paradise series??"
"Shh not here!!" shouted Jiraiya.
Naruto and Hinata quickly turned around to see what the hell was going on and there they saw Jiraiya!
"ERO-SENNIN!!! YOU PERV"
"I can explain, Naruto" retorted Jiraiya with a hint of desperation and sorrow in his voice.
"No need to explain, let's go Hinata"
The happy couple left the cinemas holding hands.
As they walked down the streets of Konoha Naruto saw a lavender kimono with flowers on it that he thought Hinata would look beautiful in. he made a mental note to go there later.
"N...Naruto-kun?"
"Eh? What is it Hinata?"
"Oh... n...Naruto-kun, this has been the best time of my life!"
Naruto's face instantly turned crimson red. "Hinata... I'm sorry I didn't realize it sooner..."
Hinata cut him off, "Naruto, you don't have to apologize for anything. You did nothing wrong. I... I'm just glad to finally be here, in your arms..."
She pulled him into a hug. "Hinata-chan..." This was the first time he called her Hinata-chan instead of just Hinata. "Hinata-chan... I loved it too..."
As they started to walk down the path Naruto and Hinata felt joy running through their veins.
"Naruto. I went on a date with Naruto-kun." Hinata blushed furiously and shook her head. She sighed. I wonder...What would father say? The thought suddenly came full speed and knocked her down. Father?! He would never accept Naruto. She looked down silently a little bashed. But I... Should think better shouldn't I? I mean, I have to be strong.
"Hinata? I would never guess." Naruto laughed as he walked himself back to his apartment. The words from their first date came rushing back to him every second and he loved it. "Hyuuga Hinata" He sang out. The words sounded beautiful in the cool night breeze. I can't wait till we meet again.
Softly the humming of his voice got carried by the wind and soon filled Sakura's heart with dread. She looked into the night and let out a soft sigh. "Naruto, I'm so glad you found a person to love. But why do I feel so miserable?" The moonlight shone through her eyes and reflected the blonde man. She bitterly smiled. 'Am I that selfish?"
Sakura, clearly upset, walked home. Naruto walked Hinata home. At the entrance, they were just about to embrace and Hyuuga Hiashi called out Hinata's name.
"Hinata! Where have you been?", cried out Hiashi who seemed to be either worried or furious.
"I was at the um... The" stuttered Hinata.
"None of that nonsense, get back inside the house"
"Yes, father"
Hinata walked back inside the house, her head low.
"Uzamaki Naruto, I demand at once to know what you were doing with my daughter!"
The man looked down hard at the blonde his eyes piercing through the sky blue ones. So, this is the boy who beat Hyuuga Neji. Hiashi smirked as he waited for the answer impatiently.
"Well, I was just getting your daughter some… dinner?" Naruto said uncomfortably while playing with the sand on the ground with his shoes.
"What? Dinner?! Where did you?!"
Naruto looked up shocked and looked down again, "well we ate at Ichiraku-"
"Hinata? The daughter of the main house holds eating at a fast food restaurant? This is outrageous. If I find you with my daughter again-"
"Father!" cried out Hinata desperately as she clung onto his arm.
"Hinata! You should no better. This person isn't even on your team. You could've been raped!" demanded Hiashi
"Naruto would never do that father! Please father." begged Hinata quietly. She looked over at Naruto who also looked uncomfortable.
"Fine. I know he didn't but you can not see anyone that isn't on your team again alright? I'll send Neji to watch over you." "But father!"
"No more, go inside NOW!"
Hinata quickly fled into the house full of tears.
oh Naruto
"Uzamaki Naruto, I forbid you to see my daughter, and if you do I will personally see that you will be in trouble by Hokage-Sama." said Hiashi in a very angry tone.
"Yes sir!"
"Now leave!"
Naruto slowly walked away, sad and tearing. In a nearby tree, Sakura was watching the whole thing! Slowly, a wicked but bitter smile traced around her face but she shook it off and ran after Naruto, quietly so he wouldn't notice.
"Why do you think I always need protection? I can defend myself! Sure Neji is stronger, but I am strong too! Father… Why do you never listen to me!?"
Hiashi was shocked at Hinata's sudden outburst.
"Father, I'm sorry, but you never seem to make me happy. Why don't you approve of Naruto? I love him, I acknowledged him from the very start, not Kiba, not Shino!"
"Hinata! How dare you speak to me like that-" Hiashi cut off and looked at the ground sighing. His face fell expressionless and he once again looked into the eyes of his eldest daughter. "You don't understand. You don't realize that-"
Hinata forced herself to keep looking into her father's eyes. 'I can't loose hope now. I have to keep going!' "Father…" her face fell down to the ground as she began to tremble violently. "Why-Why can't you ever let me be happy father?"
"He... He is a... I don't want him to hurt you..."
"Father how could you think that? Why would he? He's always kind to me; he even cheered me on at the third exam preliminaries! He-"
"HE CONTAINS THE NINE TAILS FOX!!!!!"
Hinata was speechless. Naruto turned his head to the ground, tears running down his whisker lined cheeks. 'He's right. Here I am standing like a rock and not doing anything while Hinata defends me."
"W…W...What?"
"I said he is Kyuubi's host Hinata!"
"N...Naruto-kun..."
Even Sakura was shocked as well but of course she knew already ever since the incident where Sasuke left the village.
Naruto turned and ran away instantly; he couldn't bear to see hinata right now.
The footsteps echoed and flowed with the wind as it entwined with the silent tears of Hinata.
Sakura smiled, it was her chance! She slowly stalked after the blonde Jinchuuriki.
Hinata looked right back at her father's eyes, her own blazing with anger and for the first time she no longer felt afraid. "Father! Why do you have to ruin everything? Why must you interfere?
"B...but Hinata..."
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!"
"As I thought... you have quite a bit of your mother in you..."
"Father! I will become strong! And to prove it I will work hard everyday and somehow beat your genius Neji!"
Neji had been eavesdropping, and was surprised at Hinata's powerful yet emotional words.
Hinata... where did you get this confidence?
Hinata ran to her room and slammed the door shut. She felt herself fading as she flung her body onto the soft white sheets and began to sob.
Oh Hinata, I am sorry you had to go through this
Hiashi slowly went back to his house and made a cup of tea. Neji who was watching this from his window was in complete shock! He went through the door and reentered into the main household. Stiffly and silently Neji stood in front of Hiashi. "Neji?" asked Hiashi both shocked and a little bit flustered by his nephews appearance. "Hiashi-sama, I would like to speak with you alone." answered the bright boy. Hiashi looked at his nephew curiously and motioned him to sit next to himself. "What is it my boy?"
"It's about Hinata sir."
