Hinata walked into Ichiraku Ramen shop for lunch. She quietly sat down in one of the booths and waited to order. She let out a deep sigh. Now nothing was wrong with the Hyuuga girl, she wasn't in a particularly bad mood but not exactly in a good one either.

She let out another sigh and rested her chin into her hands. It was the same problem over again: Naruto not even knowing she was there.

'It's not completely his fault. I'm quiet and most people don't notice me as is. I'm not really good at pep talks.' And from there she went into her own little dreamland.

Naruto rushed into Ichiraku Ramen. It was lunch time and man was he hungry. He sat down in a booth since all of the bar stools were full. When the waitress got to him he didn't have to look at the menu to know what he wanted. He quickly ordered and began the wait for his lunch

He suddenly heard a deep sigh behind him. The person seemed a little depressed.

"What was that sigh for?" he asked feeling an impulse to ask.

Hinata heard the voice behind her asking something. "Um… were you talking to me?"

"Yeah I was. That was a pretty deep sigh there for a girl."

"Oh, it was nothing."

"When a girl says it's nothing it's always something." Naruto said chuckling to himself.

"I guess that's true." She replied giggling a little to herself.

"So now what's up?"

"Well the person I like doesn't even know I exist. No one does for that matter." She didn't know why, but talking to this person helped and to make it even better it was pretty easy to talk to him.

"Oh is that all."

"What do you mean 'oh is that all'? Do you not get that no one even knows I exist half of the time."

"There's a simple way to change that and here it is: make people notice you."

"Excuse me? And how do you suppose I do that?"

"I don't know do something that no one would think you would do."

"But what would I do."

"Well you seem like the girl who's really quiet and could possibly be one of those people who stutter a lot. Try speaking with more authority, heck just speak more if you are shy. Let people know that you're there and you want to be part of the conversation." 'Man I'm getting good at this,' he thought. Naruto was really getting into this and as an added bonus someone was going to take his advice.

"I guess that could work."

"You need to stop guessing and start proclaiming. Tell this guy you like him straight up, don't back down from him, and if he turns you down, and that's a really big if, then just remember there are plenty more fish in the sea."

"You know I think your right. No, I know your right thanks I needed the talk."

"No problem, maybe I'll see you around." And with that he left.

"Hey Hinata!" shouted Sakura and Ino.

"Hey guys I didn't even know you were here."

"Do you even know who you were talking to?" asked Sakura.

"No, I never turned around to look."

"Girl you should have it was Naruto! Oh Hinata I'm so proud of you, you didn't pass out at all." Cried Ino.

"Um Ino I think you spoke to soon." Said Sakura pointing at an unconscious Hinata.
