Authors Note: Hello everyone. This is my first NaruHina fic and I hope it pleases you. This is written for one of my best friends. (This is for you Hidden!) I'm sorry if Hinata is a little out of character, she isn't the same as in the anime.
Hinata and Naruto haven't met before and this is what makes this story so much fun to write! Thank you for reading this. *Bows deeply* Please enjoy!
I do not own Naruto or any of its characters. If I did…..well there would be a few changes. Heh heh heh.
"Truth or dare!" Sakura wobbled over the carpet and bumped into the bed. "Let's play Truth…..Hic!"
Ino sighed and helped Sakura up. "She's drunk."
"How?" Tenten asked. "She's only had apple juice."
All the girls were crowded into a small apartment on the third floor of an old building. Every month they would all spend the night in someone's home. It was supposed to be Tenten's turn…..but with her moving in with Neji they decided to skip her turn for now.
Hinata was a bit embarrassed that she had only a small apartment unlike Ino and Temari, who both had very successful businesses. But when everyone heard Hinata was starting a new job on Monday it was decided who would host the next slumber party.
"Hey! I found Hinata's closet!" Ino yelled from the other room.
"Ino! Please leave them the way they are!!!!" Hinata tried to force her way towards Ino. There was nothing more dangerous than Ino, a pair of scissors and a bunch of Hinata's "not sexy enough clothes." Last time they found her closet, Hinata had to explain to her parents why she was wearing a mini skirt and fish net leggings to an old friend's funeral. She didn't want to tell them that that was the least revealing item she found after Ino had gotten her hands on Hinata's wardrobe.
"What is this??" Ino held up a black work suit. The one Hinata had gone out to buy for her interview. "Please tell me you didn't wear this disaster."
Flustered Hinata grabbed the suit from Ino and hurried the blonde out of the closet. "Please leave my clothing alone."
Temari looked up at the wall clock. "It's almost midnight. I better get going."
"Going out to see Shikamaru, this late at night?" Ino grinned and pounced on the back of the other blonde.
"Hey we're not little kids anymore I can do what I want." Ino was pushed off and Temari gathered her things. "Goodbye Hinata! Hope your new job goes well."
The girls waved from the window except Sakura who was now fast asleep on the bed.
Soon everyone was in their sleeping bags and the lights were shut off.
"Hey Hinata…." Ino whispered in the dark. "Hinataaaaaa."
"What??"
"Can I choose your outfit for tomorrow?"
"Not in a million years."
Ino pretended to look hurt but couldn't be seen in the dark by Hinata. "How mean."
"Argh!" Tenten threw a pillow in their direction. "Both of you be quite I want to sleep."
"You're only saying that because Neji won't let you spend the night with us if you come home tired." Ino threw the pillow back.
"Shhhhh! You'll wake up Sakura." Hinata hissed at them both.
Too late. Sakura voice came squealing from the bed. "Hey lets stay up all night and watch scary movies!!"
"I'll get the popcorn!" Ino pranced off to the kitchen.
"Neji's gonna kill me." Tenten sighed and went to set up the DVD player.
Hinata buried her head in her pillow. "They're going to get me fired on the first day!"

Eight in the morning and Hinata was driving like a manic toward her new office. "Omigosh I'm sorry!" She cried apologizing to the fifth mailbox she had to swerve around.
Suddenly A bright red sport car turned the corner and cut Hinata off. Slamming on her brakes the car halted to a stop inches away from the sport car.
Yelling all the profanity she had heard in her twenty years, Hinata glared at the sports car thinking nastily. Maybe if I dent his bumper he won't be so quick to cut off other cars.
The car took a swift right turn just quick enough for Hinata to get a good look at the driver.
Next time I see him I'll "accidentally" total his car. Grinning to herself she drove into the office building's parking lot.
Checking her watch Hinata let out a sigh of relief. She was early and had enough time to find her new office even if she got lost again. (She was a bit late for her interview.)
Entering the elevator and pushing the button for the fourth floor. Hinata did a quick look at her outfit. Simple but cute. Taking a deep breath she walked into the hall and found her office room.
She had just turned the handle when the door came flying open and Mr. Jiraiya tugged Hinata into the room.
"Good morning Hinata. You look lovely today. I'm sure you'll like it here. I'm sorry I can't stay long but a new bath house has just opened up and I am in dire need for beautiful bodies….I mean research for my new novel. You'll be sharing your work space with one of my other employees. He'll show you the ropes."
"O-okay…" Hinata stammered.
"Oh and by the way you didn't see me. I'm in my office is Tsunade asks." He winked and jumped out of the window.
Speechless Hinata stared out the window as her new pervy boss jumped from roof top to roof top on his way to the women's bath house.
Hinata shook her head and snapped out of it. She had a job to do. Turning to her work station she noticed that the desk next to hers needed a serious clean up.
Crouching on her knees she began to more mysterious items from the pile. Old books, a winter hat, a broken lamp and what looked like the remains of a toothbrush.
She moved a side a pile of papers and staring back at her was a waste land of maybe hundreds of empty instant ramen containers. Reaching into the pile Hinata pulled out one container and noticed that it still and some crusty noodles on the bottom.
"Ewwww." Dropping the container into the trash Hinata made a mental note to stay as far away from that desk as possible.
Hinata heard the door open and her "office buddy" was in the room. Hinata suddenly realized that she was on all fours and was snooping around their desk. This was not the best way to make a first impression.
"Ummm….I can see your underwear." The voice above her spoke out loudly and bluntly.
Hinata felt her face turn beet red and she sprung up and started her explanation. "I-I was just….looking f-for my contact. It fell s-somewhere over here….interesting collection of r-ramen containers."
"Oh you must be the new girl." The boy held out his hand for her to shake.
Building enough courage Hinata took his hand and looked up to his face.
"YOU! The crazy lunatic that cut me off today!" Hinata cried pointing her finger at him. Her other hand still in his.
"Well that's a great way to greet you coworker." His eyes locked on hers as he tighten his grip on her hand. "And if I'm not mistaken you were the silver car that was swerving so badly you nearly ran over a tree."
Yanking her hand from his Hinata glared at him angrily and spat. "Well I wish it had been your car I crashed into you jerk!"
"Well I'm sorry…ummm." He stopped trying to recall her name.
"It's Hinata." She answered coolly.
"I'm Naruto."
"Well. Naruto. I can see we're going to have to work together with each other so if you stay on your side and I stay on mine then we won't have a problem." Hinata turned her heels and sat down at her desk.
"Fine by me." Naruto turned to his computer. "Oh and Hinata?"
"What?" She snapped.
"Get some nicer underwear."
Hinata girded her teeth. This was not going to be easy.
