(This story takes place after the fight between Sasuke and Naruto at the Valley)

BTW: THIS STORY WILL HAVE A LOT OF NARUHINA, SO WILL THE CONTINUATION, HEHEHE

AND A FEW OTHER PAIRINGS

Awakening

He was remembering the fight he had between his rival yet best friend, Sasuke Uchiha. He couldn't help but feel that he had let everyone down especially Sakura. He had promised her that he would bring him back but instead he brought himself, he always kept his promises yet this one he couldn't keep, it tore him apart. He kept remembering what he told him:

'It wasn't meaningless, we became best friends.'

Yet, the blonde couldn't help but feel disappointed at himself for his own weakness. Then something happen, he saw HIM. In the depths of his own mind he saw the Kyuubi and asked him:

"What do you want? I'm not in the mood to talk to you".

The kyuubi answered with his deep voice, he might've looked mad but he wasn't:

"You're right, you're a pathetic weakling to make a promise like that and to lose to that Uchiha brat...yet, you have guts kid. I've decided to help you."

With this he caught the attention of Naruto. The blonde looked at him with a look of surprise and of questioning, he didn't understand why the kyuubi wanted to help him or in what he was going to help him with.

With the look he was giving the fox, the fox understood the kid didn't get what he was saying, so the fox explained in a simple way for the dumb blonde to understand:

"What i meant was i'm going to help you control my power, this won't be easy kid but i think you can do it. I've never given this chance to any of my previous jinchuuriki so, kid, count yourself lucky. After you master my power you will be very strong, stronger than that Uchiha brat, that's for shore."

With this Naruto eyes widened in disbelieve, yet the boy gave the fox one of his true smiles. Without uttering any words the kids smile said 'Thank you'.

"We'll start your training when you get better, now rest and relax. We'll talk later."

"Hai" answered Naruto with his smile still present. Then he started opening his eyes, what he saw when he opened them took him by surprise to whom was standing at the left side of his bad holding his left hand. It was a dark blue haired girl wearing a cream-coloured hooded-jacket with a fire symbol on the upper sleeves and fur around the cuffs and hem. He knew quite well who she was 'Hinata' he thought in shock. 'What is she doing here and why is she holding my hand so tightly and why do i seem to like it.' Then, he started thinking of all the ways she's always been there for him and how she always tried to cheer him on.

Then he remembered what happened before the Chunnin Exams. The way she said how she "admired" him and how he changed her for the better, but then he also remembered how she got hurt during her fight with Neji in the preliminaries and how he felt when he saw her cough blood. It tore him in the inside. 'Have i been so blind to notice her' he continued thinking but then something happened.

She had her face down on his hand with her forehead touching his skin, so he didn't saw her face. When she rotated her head a bit to the side, what he saw was almost heartbreaking. She had her lavender eyes red, which mean she had been crying. 'Why has she been crying? Was it because i got hurt? And if so then why would she care this much, i know we're friends but... now that i'm getting a better look at her she's quite beautiful and cute and it seems she's sleeping rather comfortable holding my hand' With this he smiled and chuckled a little so she didn't hear him.

He continued watching her sleep, until the door to his room opened and there stood the Hokage.

"Granny, what are you doing here?" He asked the new Hokage.

"I came to check if you were awake and if you were doing better but it seems someone got here before me" Answered the rather young looking lady. However don't let your eyes mess with you, she's actually quite old, she must be around her fifties. (Yup i just wrote this) Tsunade often wears a grass-green haori. Underneath she wears a grey, kimono-style blouse with no sleeves, held closed by a broad, dark bluish-grey obi that matches her pants. Her blouse is closed quite low, revealing her sizeable cleavage. She wears open-toed, strappy black sandals with high heels.

With this Naruto couldn't hide the small blush he got from seeing the beautiful young hyuuga that was holding him.

"It's not like that granny." He said with an embarrassed tone in his voice.

"Of course not, she's not even holding your hand or been here since the hospital opened and it's not been happening every day that you were asleep".

With this said, Naruto stood in disbelieve, he couldn't answer...rather he didn't knew how to answer. 'She's been coming here every day?' he thought to himself. The blonde stood there completely shocked with what Tsunade said.

The Hyuuga started awakening from the dream she was having to see a pair of blue eyes of a spikey blond haired ninja, she then remembered where she was and who was staring at her. 'Naruto awake and he's looking at me...he's smiling...i'm going to faint'.

"Hey there, finally waking up? Well it's about time because i'm hungry and i was thinking we could go out and eat?" Asked the now blushing blonde. 'She's quite cute in fact, but her eyes...they are so sweet...the look she's giving me is a look of...love/care.. Nobody, besides Iruka-sensei, has ever given me this look' He thought.

"H-hello N-naruto. I-I w-would l-like i-it v-very m-much to go o-o-out with y-y-you" Answered Hinata, stuttering and blushing like crazy, yet she was very happy that Naruto asked her out on a date, even though he didn't said it was a date she hopped.

"Hey, hold it quite there; i haven't said you could leave." Said Tsunade with her commanding voice. "You haven't healed yet, mister. You're staying in bed until, at least tomorrow."

"Ohhh...come on granny." Naruto pleaded. He hated being stuck in a hospital. He was probably almost healed thanks to kyuubi healing power but he was still hurt in some places and his body was still quite weak and sore from the after match.

"Naruto, i think Lady Hokage is right, you should stay in bed" Said Hinata, however when she said this without stuttering, both Tsunade and Naruto eyes were fixed on her. She blushed deeply from the attention she was getting, but she blushed more because Naruto was looking at her, more appropriately at her eyes. When she saw he was staring at her she turned her head down to avoid the stares and to hide the blush.

"Wow...Hinata you said all that without stuttering a single word." Naruto knew how shy she was but seeing this Hinata caught his attention rather quickly. He liked it. 'She's quite cute when she's blushing like this' thought the blonde haired ninja with a smile on his face.

"I have an idea." Said Tsunade with a devious grin on her face. "How about you and Hinata have the supposed date inside the room I could send someone to go fetch you both some lunch and you would eat inside. Hinata would get her date and you would rest Naruto, how about it?"

Hinata couldn't help but blush more and more at what she was earring. 'Date? A date with Naruto? This is almost a dream come true. Don't faint, don't faint.' Thought the shy Hyuuga.

"Alright, what do you want to eat?" Asked Tsunade, then she thought 'If those two got together Naruto would be very happy and so would Hinata. They kind of make a cute couple but still i'm going to need to have THE TALK with Naruto soon, i would ask Jiraya but that pervert would tell him to do perverted things with the innocent young girl. *Sigh*' She received the orders and then she called an Anbu to go get the requests. The Anbu obeyed and went to get the Ichiraku Ramen for Naruto (that's the only food he knows how to eat) and for Hinata she asked for cinnamon rolls. The order was given to the Anbu and he was off.

While Tsunade was leaving the room she told the kids "Now behave, especially you Naruto, i don't trust you with such a cute, innocent young girl like Hinata". She said with a smirk on her face, almost telling him that he was a pervert like Jiraya. With this said Naruto and Hinata blushed and Naruto shot back at Tsunade saying "I'm nothing like the pervy-sage, he's the pervert not me" Said the blonde, offended for what Tsunade just said to him.

Hinata was just staring at the floor trying to hide the huge blush on her face, although she was quite happy that she was having lunch with him, even though it was in the hospital. 'I hope we get to be alone, maybe i can finally get the courage to tell him how i feel. But what if he doesn't love me, or says i'm just a friend, or that he likes Sakura or someone else rather than me? That would kill me on the inside...*sigh*...i'm going to try to tell him, however i'm not going to get my hopes up'.

Tsunade left and close the door, while she was closing she looked at Hinata blinked at her and smiled. 'I hope she finally tells him how she feels, but if he breaks her heart i'm going to break every bone in his body' thought Tsunade while walking through the hospital.

"Hinata" Said Naruto trying to get her attention. When she looked at him he saw her blush on her face. 'She's so cute when she smiles.' thought Naruto.

"Is it true what granny said? Did you really come here every day while i've been asleep?" Said Naruto with a small blush, yet confused but happy on the inside that she cared so much about him.

"H-H-Hai" Answered the shy girl stuttering and blushing.

"Why?" Asked Naruto.

"B-Because i care about you." She said with a determination on her eyes. The stuttering was starting to go away and they both noticed it. She was getting more confident.

With what she just said Narutos eyes widen in surprise that she cared so much about him. 'But why? I'm just the monster everyone says i am. Why would a princess like her care for an idiot like me? Does she like me? Have i really been that blind to her feelings?' Thought Naruto blushing at staring at Hinatas eyes.

"AHAHAHA...how ironic that i'm in trapped in such an empty head." laughed Kyuubi, mocking the kid for being so dumb.

"What do you mean?" Answered the now annoyed blonde.

"Nothing, nothing. You have to find the answer yourself. See ya brat."

Naruto was brought out of his talk with the kyuubi when a knock on a door happened. "Come in" Said Naruto.
