After returning from an A-rank mission, Hyuga Hinata and the rest of Team 8 went straight to the Hokage Tower, facing the one and only, Hatake Kakashi. Shino handed the report to the said Rokudaime while Kiba explained the walkthrough of the whole mission. The Hokage didn't bother listening because he knew Shikamaru will do the reading, he dismissed the team and shoo'd them out of his office. The three-man squad walked through the streets and nobody uttered a word because they were that tired. Akamaru pushed his snout on his owner's pants

"Oi Shino, Hinata," Kiba called, "You guys wanna go to Yakiniku?"

"Hai, it seems like we haven't really bonded except for missions for the past few months." Hinata suggested, smiling as bright as the moon that shone over them. The bug user only nodded, because it was sadly true. The team made their way with Kiba, the only one talking.

It has been two years since the end of the Fourth Great Shinobi War. Thousands of lives mourned, The Five Great Countries began a new chapter, children were born, and everyone grew up.

Everyone except for Hinata.

Yes, one could say her hair was longer, her face was slimmer, her stutter was no more, her womanly curves were more mature than what her sixteen-year-old self had. She's stronger and had her father's approval. After proving her strength in the battlefield, Hiashi had been proud of himself, because finally, Little Hinata has become a respectable kunoichi.

Well, she did grow up. Yet there is one thing Hinata hasn't grew out of.

Her love and admiration for Naruto.

Speaking of Naruto, it has been months since she last saw him. Maybe because he was training to become the next Hokage, or maybe because of an S-rank mission. No matter the reason is, he was out of the village, and everytime Hinata had a mission assigned, she hopes to run into him. No matter how long she couldn't see him, his proud cerulean eyes would become an instrument that would melt Hinata's heart and it would make up the all the loss time.

Team 8 sat on a table of four and ordered eight plates of pork belly, five plates of shrimp and four rolls of sashimi. Akamaru and Kiba ate most of it as expected, and Shino shook his head while scolding Kiba that he might have his arteries clogged, but Hinata giggled, she did really miss them. It seems like when they were all teenagers, they had all the time in the world, now that all of them were the heirs of their respected clans, they are bombarded with lectures of the past tradition that must be observed within them. Hinata raised her glass that is filled with tea and her teammates brought theirs too.

"To endless comradeship." Shino stated.

"Wow that sucks, we're like family now, aren't we?" Kiba suggested that earned Akamaru's bark.

"Well, to a never-ending bond of Team 8!" Hinata squealed, clicking their cups and drinking straight out of it. "We should visit Kurenai-sensei at some time, I bet she misses us a lot."

"Yeah, I hope she's doing well, being an only parent must be hard." Kiba wondered, still stuffing his face with meat. The rest couldn't do anything but agree.


"Ja ne!" Everyone chanted and went their own separate ways. The village was coming to darkness when every store was closing down for the night. The Hyuga heiress stretched out her arms, feeling sore from every muscle. Passing by the Hokage Tower, her snow-hued eyes caught something so bright- an orange clad pants, to be exact, she didn't have to use her doujutsu to recognize who he was. It was none other than the war hero and her childhood crush turn man of her dreams, Uzumaki Naruto.

The blonde lad waved to her and she swore she could melt because he was actually interacting with her. Her feet subconsciously made their way to her beloved, and she stuttered with a pathetic, "Konban Wa, N-Naruto-kun."

"Why are you out so late, Hinata!" Naruto smiled and pulled her in a tight hug, "It's been a while, ne?"

"Ano, N-Naruto-kun, I'm also a kunoichi, I can handle myself." Hinata sighed when he pulled away, relieved because he could no longer smell her dirt-soaked self, and disappointed because she wanted it to last longer. "It's been a while indeed. Okaeri, Naruto-kun."

A dark chakra appeared behind her, quickly activating her bloodline limit, Hinata attacked the owner of the said chakra with a roundhouse kick which was skillfully deflected by the stranger. Annoyed of having her leg up in the air, she held her right chakra-infused palm, "Hakke Kūshō!"

This made the stranger teleport, its chakra behind Naruto's.

"Naruto-kun, it's-" Turning around to warn the jinchuuriki, yet she was welcomed with a smirk and a scowl. "Sasuke Uchiha?"

"Hai, Hinata, it is." Naruto confirmed with his infamous grin. Deactivating her kekkei genkai and feeling embarrassed and foolish about the whole "I-tried-to-kick-a-man-who-murdered-innocent-people-who-happens-to-be-my-crush's-best-friend" situation.

"G-gomen nasai, Uchiha-san. It was impolite of me to do something so reckless," Hinata bowed her head and searched for comforting words that would end this misunderstanding, so she could go home and overthink this situation. "It's just that your chakra signature is foreign to me, I truly am sorry."

"Hn." The first ever verbal response heard from the avenger – if you can even call it verbal.

Her eyes casted on the last Uchiha, a band was wrapped on his head, brown cloak surrounded his whole body, with the hints of a black long-sleeved shirt and gray pants, high cut sandals covered his foot, and his handy dandy katana under his cloak. His eyes were two different colors, one as black as coal and the other as violet as plum with rings on it. He looked cool and mature, all Hinata can decipher.

"I dragged Teme's ass back to Konoha and he's staying with me until he gets his own place!" Naruto informed the heiress, growing excited by the second. How she loved it when he can see all the specks of light in the darkest and most ruthless of people, especially his infamous Talk no Jutsu, that she concluded, can save anyone.

"That sounds great, maybe Rookie 9 can actually get together," Hinata suggested, making it up for the embarrassment she portrayed. She squinted her eyes and showed the Sharingan user a genuine smile, "I'm glad for you, Uchiha-san."

"Shut up."

Both Jounins' face fell from the response. No one dared to tell Hinata off because they knew they couldn't bare seeing a pure heart get torn apart, and she rarely talks. She doesn't deserve being treated like this, she's kind to everyone, even her own damn enemies. It was a surprise for Naruto, that even Sasuke would do that.

Hinata was hurt because she was offering him a taste of kindness, yet he declined it with two words he used the last time he spoke to her! How cruel can this man be. How can Naruto's sunny personality blend with his gloomy and rude aura.

"Oi baka! Don't ever talk to Hinata like that." The soon-to-be-Hokage scolded him, furious to why he did that. "Less than twenty fours in Konoha and you just had to insult a comrade?"

"She almost kicked me. Why not tell her off." Sasuke felt displeased with everything in Konoha, starting from that Hyuga girl. Why is Naruto getting so worked up by two words that he uses on everyone, why is the bluenette an exception?

"She said she was sorry! She was probably protecting me, a comrade!" The Uchiha just stared at the blond and at the Hyuuga. The heiress clenched her fists. Well, this is interesting.

The avenger turned away from the two because it was a waste of his time.

The woman relaxed her arms because a fight wouldn't do them any good. The both of them might get a probation for disturbing the public. As Naruto said, Sasuke hasn't even spent 24 hours here and Hinata wouldn't want to give him a headache. That's why she turned to the most violent way to hurt someone, with words.

"Daijobu, Naruto-kun." Hinata spoke with a genuine smile that she once offered the cruel man. "Probably spending most of your days out in the woods can make you lose a sense of politeness, isn't that right, Uchiha-san?"

"I don't need politeness, I can kill everyone in this precious vill-" The last Uchiha was cut off by the woman's gentle yawn.

"Oh dear, it's late. I have to be on my way." A tired voice came from the heiress, but Sasuke knew better. "Ja ne, Naruto-kun, Uchiha-san."

Hinata waved at the two men, while walking, and Sasuke caught a glimpse of her unruly smirk that was directed to him. Her lilac clad form faded as she walked down the street.

No one cuts off Uchiha Sasuke and gets away with it.
