Naruto sat outside on the grass not paying attention to the teacher on how to sneak up behind someone. He thought to himself I already can sneak up on anyone and no one's faster than me, believe it! He turned his mind to something else; no one close to him knew how much was going on in his mind right now. He was thinking about the girl had started to notice he had feelings for. The girl had dark indigo hair, light lavender eyes with white pupils. The wide eyes always glanced at him then looked away. Her face turning red as soon as she glanced at him. The teacher just kept talking but started walking towards Naruto.

"Naruto! Tell me what you should use if the person you're following blends into a crowd." Iruka shouted.

"Uh… Follow them?" Naruto blankly said, his mind was too distracted to think about it.

"Wrong! You find a way to get up on to a higher surface and keep your eye on them." Iruka repeated his lesson as he put his face up to Naruto's face. "You're not paying attention are you?"

"No! I was paying attention. Just I didn't hear you." Naruto replied, his mind again returning to the pale faced girl.

"You'll never learn Naruto." Iruka added as he walked off to begin his lesson again.

Naruto's eyes scanned the field. He was higher up; he had chosen to sit near the back, closest to the hill, so he could watch the girl. His eyes finished looking over the field several times. No matter how much he looked he couldn't find the hair of the one he had started to love.

"Ok, quiz time. You will be pair up, one of you will go into the forest and after 30 seconds the other will start to follow using the skills I have taught you." Iruka shouted so all of the class could hear, especially Naruto. "Come see me to see who your partner is."

Naruto slowly followed the other students up to Iruka; he didn't care much for this. If his lover wasn't here he wasn't going to get paired up with her. The students ahead of him shouting in joy or frowning in disappointment. Sakura and Sasuke happened to be one of those pairs. He finally reached his turn in line.

"Ok, Naruto. Your partner has already gone into the forest and she told me to give you this note." Iruka handed the note to Naruto.

Naruto walked off ripping the tape off the note. His eyes, now very eager to find out who it was, read through it. He reached the end, the last of the letter read

I've always loved you, Naruto. Find me in the forest I'll be waiting for you. Hurry though, I don't want to be interrupted.

Love,

Hinata

His heart pounded in his chest. He ran through the forest. Barely hearing Iruka call after him that it hasn't started yet. He no longer cared he just wanted to see his pale faced love. Jumping through the trees he scanned the ground to find her footprints and the trees to see if she left any signs. Finding a few footprints spread out. He knew she wanted him to find her. He kept jumping through following the delicate footprints. He saw the sun getting brighter ahead, that meant a clearing ahead. He knew she was ahead.

He picked up pace keeping time to his heart.

The clearing just a few trees ahead, he stopped. He thought, how should I approach? He couldn't decide with the thumping he kept hearing in his chest. He jumped forward skipping a few trees because he was so full of energy. Reaching the last one he looked down and saw.

His lover, in another man's arms. He didn't even want an explanation. He ran away from the blonde headed man holding the dark haired girl in his arms. Their bond breaking as Naruto hit the ground. He kept running feeling hate rise up in his blood. He heard a shout as someone found their partner. He just wanted to go home. Home where there was no betrayal. Where he could eat ramen and not care what anyone else thought. Home where he could still pretend Hinata loved him.
