Confessions of a Kunoichi in Love
chapter 1: Time spent with you
"Hmmmmm..." A muffled groan came out of Naruto's mouth as Team 7's sensei told the 3 genin their mission. " but we wanna real mission! Not some crappy clean up job!" Again, Naruto's protesting was getting on Kakashi's nerves..."Listen, all you have to do is help out the Hyuuga's with cleaning up their estate. That should be no problem for you, and Hiashi wont be there because he's been on a 6 month mission. So Hinata and Neji really need your help with the cleaning. At least do it to help your friends." Naruto sighed and walked ahead of the rest, his feet gradually moving one in front of the other. When Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto got to the Hyuuga estate, Hinata was at the door to meet them. "w-welcome to our home" She said with a studder. "Oh! Hey Hinata-chan!" Naruto was always friendly with the young Hyuuga heiress. " H-hey there..N-naruto-k-kun" A hint of violet tint was left on Hinata's face as she led them in. And everyone BUT Naruto knew the reason why.
When they all got in, Neji was standing in the main hall." Okay, we need someone to help in the garden, someone in the upstairs, and someone in the deeper corridors". Sakura started giving orders as if she had already predicted Neji's words," Okay, I'll work in the garden, since Na-ru-to would probably pull the flowers WITH the weeds and screw that up. Sasuke, You work in the deeper corridors because it's right next to where I'll be...uuuuhhh I mean, because Naruto would probably get lost. And Naruto, You go to the upstairs, to clean so you wont have ANY excuse to make a mess! Now c'mon Sasuke-kun! We got work to do!" Sasuke gave a slightly annoyed sigh at the expense of a laugh from Naruto but shrugged it off for he knew that dwelling on it would make the day even longer than it was already going to be. ( inner Sakura: Cha! More time with Sasuke-kun! Woo hoo! and now that naruto's all the way upstairs he wont be able to bother us! and maybe he'll finally figure out why Hinata blushes at him all the time! Yah! You go girl! You're helping out all over the place today!) So they went their seperate ways, Sakura following Neji, Sasuke cooly walking towards the deeper corridors, and Naruto left following Hinata to the upstairs. Hinata blushed at the thought of being alone in her house with Naruto but quickly turned away from him and motioned for Naruto to walk a little faster.
"Well...Umm, There..are..three rooms to be cleaned. Hanabi's room, Neji's room, a-and my room." Hinata couldnt help but blush cherry red from the fact that she talked about going up to her room with Naruto. But thick-headed Naruto just cocked his head at her and assumed she had ate some bad ramen earlier. "W-why dont we start in Hanabi's room? She doesnt have much of a mess s-s-so it wont take us very long." Hinata gulped and restarted her bad habit of tapping her two index fingers together and looking at some invisible bug on the floor. " Sure, whatever makes you happy, Hinata-chan!" Naruto gave her an ear to ear grin and walked into Hanabi's room.Hinata almost fainted at this but then remembered that he was just saying that to be polite and quickly followed in after.Hinata was right, the room wasnt too bad, a few misplaced books here and there, some disregarded kunai, shuriken and weaponry on the floor,and maybe some dirty clothes out of the hamper, maybe.. After half an hour of awkward silence and cleaning, Hanabi's room was done. Naruto laughed," Hey, you were right! That didnt take long at all! I wonder if Sakura and Sasuke are doing as good as we are!" Hinata replied in a sigh of relief as she spied a scapegoat from the akward moment..."yeah, m-maybe I should check on them...you know! To ask if they want a glass of Lemonade..o-or something. D-do you, w-would you...want something to drink Naruto-kun?" Hinata took a deep breathe and sighed quietly as her last word came out, relieved she didnt seem like she was trying to escape from embarassment.
"Huh, oh! arigatou Hinata-chan, but I'm fine, I'll just get something later." He gave another trademark grin and walked out to use the restroom. "But I..I wanted to..haaahhhh, oh well, I'll just get the others some drinks then..'plun-plun plun-plun' The only sound made by the quiet Hinata as she started down the stairs, her zori always made her think of Naruto because he was always fascinated by the sound they made cluncking on the floor ever since they were little. So, always on her feet...Naruto was almost always on Hinata's mind. She poured two glasses of lemonade and one cup of green tea, thinking Sasuke wasnt one of those lemonade-kinds of people. And she was right. Hinata was gratefully and rightfully thanked by Sakura, Sasuke and Neji, but it was mostly shown by Neji, Who drank down his lemonade in almost no time at all. Hinata walked back inside where she poured a glass for herself and took a minute to relax..
XXXXXXXX( Meanwhile..with Naruto )XXXXXXXX
'Flush' 'lather, rinse, repeat' and a relieved Naruto was done. "Aaaaahhhh, Okay Hinata, Where to next? HHmmm...guess she went to check on sakura and sasuke. I'm sure she wont mind if I start on another room. Yeah! I know, I'll start in her room." Naruto turned a corner and happily found Hinata's room. It wasnt too bad either, just needed a little touch of spring cleaning, so he set down his scroll/now cleaning materials bag and started. And as Naruto pulled some loose clothing off the velvet bed cover, a neatly-sewn, little violet book fell to the floor with a gentlethump. Naruto picked it up with curious, crystal-blue eyes, wondering what sort of story would be in such an elegant, little book. It had purple and yellow flowers on it with vines coming out of each one, beautifully spelling out " Hinata". This was a hand-made diary crafted by a close friend of Hiashi's for little Hinata's eighth birthday. Naruto was never one to hesitate when trying to figure out something for himself so he opened the book and looked inside...
Monday, April 1st
Today was the first day of Genin missions and I was put on team 8 with Kiba and Shino, they are all very nice so I'm not too woriied. But I ran into Naruto-kun at lunch! Oh! It was so embarassing! I hope he didnt see me blush! But he was the one who apologized to me! Even when it was clearly my fault! He's so nice...That's another reason why I...
XXXXXXXXXX( Present time...Hinata is back )XXXXXXXXXX
Hinata walked in just as Naruto almost finished the last sentence of April first's entry. And quick as a whip, Hinata snatched her diary out of Naruto's hands and immediately started to explain..." Gomen! Gomen Nasai, Naruto-kun! It's just th-that, this book...well, it's private." And as quickly as the diary was snatched, it was put away into a nearby bag. " M-maybe we should start in Neji-nii-san's room, ne, Naruto-kun?" Naruto could see the desperation in his friend's eyes and nodded in agreement. So Naruto grabbed his scroll bag and followed the young Hyuuga heir to the next room...
