Slices
A/N: This is a gift fic for my older brother. He requested the missing parts of Slice of Life dealing with Naruto and Hinata's relationship. So this takes place in the 'Slice universe', that being said it will differ from Slice of Life as there will be more chronological order to this one as well as less snippets of everyone else' lives instead focusing on Naruto and Hinata, though probably not from their point of view. With possibly some other things thrown in. I'm not sure yet and he wasn't specific so let's see what I can cook up ^.~ We're starting off as genin as the prologue!
"Why don't you just go talk to him." Kiba suggested with a not so subtly pointed look at his teammate. He wasn't sure why girls were so...whatever Hinata was. They hadn't been on the same team for more than two weeks but he'd already taken a liking to her. She wasn't very strong, or all that bright sometimes. Like now she was staring at the idiot from team seven. He wasn't sure when he had first noticed her wandering eye it must have been in the academy but he couldn't recall being conscious of it until now, having been too concerned with other things. Even now he wasn't sure why he was bringing it up. But Shino wasn't around with his overbearing presence of 'I'm better than you' so it must be that.
"I...I cou-couldn't." Hinata's face lit up red as she finally looked away from the smiling blonde that was absently retelling something to a smirking Iruka-Sensei as he enthusiastically ate ramen. She couldn't bring herself to look at Kiba though, she wasn't ready to talk about this with her new teammates. They were boys too and even though they weren't as handsome or endearing as Naruto they were rather cute. Luckily it was just her an Kiba right now. She would have cracked under Shino's demanding stare hidden behind those sunglasses.
"Why not?" Kiba pressed watching her reaction carefully he hadn't really addressed this with her yet but he knew Shino was going to and knowing him he wouldn't be as...well he wouldn't say tactful but not as understanding. Shino was too 'holier than thou' and similar to Hinata's cousin Neji, but not as cruel.
"I..." Her blush was growing deeper and she could feel it as she poked her fingers together staring at them as she tried to think of why she couldn't just talk to him. It wasn't as if Naruto had ever been mean to her, or anyone really other than Sasuke and Kiba both of whom were not nice either. Which left her wondering why Kiba was asking. Maybe it was because they were teammates now. "Wha-What if h-he doesn't kno-know I exi-exist." She finally mumbled half heartedly, no matter Kiba's reason for wondering they were a team now that meant they were a unit, like a small family. At least she hoped they would get to that point like she'd seen others do. There really wasn't any better way to start than by opening up. Before Kiba could ask her anything more she continued this time looking away from her fingers not noticing as they stopped moving. "I haven't talked to him since class what if he doesn't re-remember? I'm not as pretty as Sa-Sakura or as popular."
Kiba wasn't sure what possessed him to do what he did next but he warpped his arm around her shoulder in a semi-hug. "Don't worry Hinata we'll make him notice you." He had never really liked Naruto, he was annoying and loud. His pranks weren't funny, well except that one jutsu he really didn't mind that jutsu. "Let's become the best team in Konoha!" There wasn't more comfort he could give her but he was going to help her with this. Because right now she looked so much like his sister.
A/N: Well that's the prologue look for more soon sorry it's so short. And a time jump because I'm feeling it like that. Well let me know what you think ^^
