Title: Date.
Summary: It starts with a bad day...
Character/s: Naruto and Hinata. Mentions Sakura and Sai.


Naruto was not having an exceptionally good day, far from it.

Team Kakashi did not have an exceptionally good mission yesterday, yes, they had successfully finished the mission but that did not mean it was a good mission.

The point was that Naruto didn't feel like being happy today, he was sure he'd have a wonderful day if he knew where Sakura or Sai were.

That's when Hinata had come and Naruto was tempted to pretend he hadn't heard her for a moment. Instead he took a moment to make a decision and then another to put on a happy face before turning to the girl.

"Hinata, you need to learn to speak up, I almost didn't hear you," the blonde commented with a grin.

"S-sorry, I-I w-was j-j-just won-wondering if…" Naruto stopped paying attention to the girl's words as he looked over her shoulder to see a familiar pinkette. He turned to look at Hinata with a smile.

"I've got to go talk to Sakura, maybe some other time," the girl looked at Naruto with a smile as the blonde ran off to greet the pinkette.

If Naruto had been paying attention he would have realised he'd just accepted a date.
