Chapter 1

Promises

Flashback

"Come on kid I'm not waiting all day" Jiraiya yelled jarring the boy form his thoughts.

"Fine, Ero-sensei I just wanted one last look." The boy called. Scooping up his bag, Naruto heard the sound of footsteps and turns to see the shy, little girl Hyuuga Hinata run up to him.

"Naruto- Kun, wait!" She yelled louder then normal for the shy Hyuuga.

"Huh, Hinata what is it something wrong?" Naruto asks oblivious to the growing shade

of red on the girls face.

"No, it's just…" Being under his gaze Hinata loss some of her nerve, but is determined to tell him how she feels. "N-naruto-K-kun I need t-to tell you s-something before you leave..."

"Oh, ok what is it Hinata." Naruto ask with a happier note in his voice. 'Wow she came all this way to see me leave and tell me something, she's really nice to me' Naruto thinks still oblivious to the young girl's feelings.

"Well, you see Naruto-Kun i- it's j-just… ano I-I l-like…"

"Oi, Brat let's go!" The sannin yelled at his soon to be traveling partner.

"Sorry Hinata, I got to go, Jiraiya is already angry at me for making us late, but I promise when I get back I'll take you out for ramen and you can tell me, ok?" The boy suggests slightly sad that he had to cut her off.

"Ano, ok N-naruto-Kun just… be safe I'll miss you." Hinata says with out a trace of a stutter in her voice. And with that Hinata turns around sadden by the fact she couldn't tell him. 'I'm so weak I can't even bring myself to tell him how I fell…' the young Hyuuga thought close to tears.

But Naruto just stood there stunned. "be safe I'll miss you." These words played over and over in the blondes head. 'She cares about me the Kyuubi brat, she is a Hyuuga why would she care about me'.

"Come on brat let's go" The already annoyed man calls back to his ward.

"Yah, ok" Naruto yelled running to meet his teacher. "So who was that girl you were talking with?" The now Interested sannin asks his pupil.

"Hinata, Hyuuga Hinata." The name playing over and over in the hyperactive blondes head.

3 Years Later

"Get up Ero-sensei!" the excited blonde yelled at his teacher. 15 year old Uzamaki Naruto was so happier then normal today, because today was the day he returned to his home. Although, most of his life he was hated and ignored, he is willing to put that behind him for them and more importantly for her…

"Brat it is 6:00 in the morning you can't want to go that bad." The white hair man inquired.

Naruto stopped his packing to turn and give his teacher one of his patented grins. To which the sannin just laughs and say "You really want to see her… You know the one all your ideas were about?"

The boy directed his full attention at the perverted man with a slightly lecherous grin on his face. The boy laughs and says "Two things Ero-sensei if anyone finds out about that I will find and kill you, second…" Turning his head to look out on the horizon images of the one girl began to flood back to his mind. The one girl who no matter what was there for him, always cheering for the loser the whole village hated. Who actually cared how he felt or wanted him to be safe?

"Yeah I can't wait to see her …Hinata" said Naruto only above a whisper.

With a small smile to himself Jiraiya thinks of how this boy has changed. He is no longer the loudmouthed, knuckle head, prankster who left 3 years ago.( although he still does a trick or two) Standing in front of Jiraiya was a tall man with the same long blond hair and his forehead protector around his head. But now his clothes have a new look still, you guessed it, orange but with black instead of blue.

"Fine, Fine kid how can I say no, let's go." The sannin said while getting out of bed to pack, but quickly notices something amiss. "Ahhh… brat where did this bra and skirt come from?"

Konoha

In her room, no longer located in the main branch house, Hyuuga Hinata is sitting combing here hair in the mirror and look at herself, preparing for a sleepover later at Sakura's house. Now the last 3 years have treated the young Hyuuga well, here she sits with long blackish-blue hair down midway of her back. She has made the decision to stop wearing the jacket that hides her figure and opted for a nicer jacket. Yes, it was tighter and it was purple with light blue sleeves. Under the jacket was the normal fishnet that fit her form nicely seeing as how her chest grew significantly over the last years. She was wearing a pair of black pants that showed of her strong thighs and slender legs. Needless to say she was gorgeous, but had never had a boyfriend. She was waiting, for the one boy, who her whole life made her happy. Who was her inspiration who cheered her on when everyone said she was too weak.

"Naruto…"

Knock, Knock

Snapping out of her daydream Hinata got up and went to the door of her small room. "W-who is i-it?" Hinata stammers (Her stutter has got better, but not by much)

"It's Me, Hiashi want to see you." Neji says to his younger cousin. Ever since the chunnin exams, Neji and Hinata have gotten closer and Neji tries to do all he can to make her happy and help her out. He fells like he need to help her, how ever one treats her like she is nothing.

"T-thank you Neji-ni-san" Hinata says thankful it was him and not her father.

"Oh, by the way I know this week has been hard on you, but there I got some good news." Neji say with an uncommon grin on his face.

"Neji, there are only a few things that can cheer me up now." Hinata states in a cold manner.

But Neji's smile just widens as he turns to leave and says "Fine if you don't care that a certain blonde, hyperactive ninja is coming home today I won't tell you." And with that Neji left her with a small smile.

"Naruto-kun … is coming back …" the young Hyuuga's smile slowly grows till it was going from ear to ear. 'He's coming back I can't wait to see him this is great I wonder if he missed me, I wonder what he looks like.' Blushing slightly Hinata remembers the boy the village hated, but she loves.But her train of thought comes to a halt as she remembers the word "Hiashi want to see you." And quickly bolts down the stairs and over to the Main Branches house.

Slowly she opens the door to her fathers study to see him sitting there like he knew the moment she would enter. "Hinata sit I need to have a word with you." He ground out very coldly.

"Y-y-yes f-f-father."

"Hinata, you recall last weeks 'Meeting' with the council, right." Hiashi asks in a monotone voice.

"Hai." But that was not the truth all she remembered was the council telling her to sit enjoy her tea and then nothing.

"Well, the council has reached a decision, you are to leave the clan immediately and never return you are stripped of the Hyuuga name." Hiashi said with no change in his voice.

"W-w-what?" Hinata asks near tears. Her world was coming down around her and she fought to keep back the tears. This whole week had only brought bad news, one after another. First, they told her she was no longer the heir to the Hyuuga and the title went to Hanabi. Then they kicked her out of the Main Branch. But just yesterday at the meeting the young Hyuuga thought something good was about to happen, that the thought things over and take her back, but no they did something to her and are just now throwing her into the streets like a stray.

"You are to leave immediately and not come back. Take your things and go." Hiashi said even colder then before.

Hinata could not take it she started to cry, but quickly got up and uttered "Hai, bye father." and left to get her things.

Once she was in her room she threw he self on the bed and cried her eyes out. Wanting so much for this to just be a nightmare and to wake up. But instead all she got was a voice that said "Sorry little one, but you won't be alone now. Be strong."

Hinata quickly looked up to see her room was empty. 'Who was that, what was that, the voice was so caring and nice' and with those words of encouragement from somewhere Hinata packed her clothes and her stuff and left the clan house forever, setting off towards Sakura's house.

Chapter 2

Arrival

Outside of Konoha

On the horizon of a beautiful day a man and his ward approached the gates of leaf. Sun setting in the background one can't help but reminisce about his past and future. Although for both of the travelers, their past are not the most enjoyable, but their future is looking bright.

"Wow" Naruto mutters, now just seeing his home for the first time in years.

'Well it's still the same dump you left' the fox said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

'Ahhh…you've miss this place as much as me' Naruto thought, mentally mocking the ancient demon in him.

'Yah just a little sad that this hell hole is still here, I'm still going to tear it down' the fox said 'but first it would be nice to see pale eye's' providing Naruto with an image of Hinata.

'Baka kitsune … you will never get out and also her names Hinata ok H-I-N-A-T-A" Naruto said treating the century old fox as if it were only 4 years old. Still showing the childish nature he could not get rid of after all these years.

'Whatever kit all I know is there is something special about that girl …oh and heads up' the fox warns right as Naruto walks into the red gates of Konoha"Baka kitsune..." Naruto mutters cursing the fox for distracting him.

"Hey kid what did I say about talking to yourself, your back in civilization now people will think you crazy ... eh, or crazier." Jiraiya says as a familiar chunnin jumps down to greet them.

With a yawn the chunnin asks "State your business and … wow is that you Naruto"

"Shikamaru!" Naruto yelled grabbing Shikamaru in a death grip, earning him a "troublesome" form the lazy Nin.

"It's good to see you Naruto, go right ahead I'll see you in a little I got guard duty." The shadow user statedwith a yawn.

"Wow the powerful Chunnin Nara Shikamaru is on guard duty ... lucky you." Naruto said laying the sarcasm on pretty thick.

"Yah well it lets me watch the cloud's" 'And think about Temari'

"Alright, later Shikamaru,see ya later." Naruto yells as he runs to catch Jiraiya.

"So where to?" Naruto asked while pulling out his CD player. Popping in a CD labeled The Fall of Troy: Doppelganger.

Listening to the music he looks around the city as the lyric play in his ears.

None of this has changed, when we all look the same.
Addicted to the one that left you, we can't forget you.
We colonized in war, predicting many more.
Addicted to the hand that fed you, you can't remember.

'Hmmm… Still the same Konoha'

"Oi, brat listen, Kami, knows why I got u that devise. You never pay attention anymore… or well you never did to start did you?" The very irritated Toad-sannin quipped.

"Well seeing as how I paid for most of the mission and did most of your 'Research' I think I earned it … Hey was that a joke about me being slow?" the equally irritated Naruto replied.

"Forget it, and stop yelling so I can think." The sannin said in a more mellow tone.

"Well I, guess we should see… Tsunade…" but Jiraiya could not finish, he was in awe at the sight of…

"Is that Baa-Chan up there on the monument?" Naruto yelled in disbelief as they enter the Hokage tower.

"Yeah" Jiraiya says "and its so life like just like Tsunade normal stone faced ugly mu…" but was cut off by a fist in the face sending him through the doors of the Hokage office.

"Thank you, LECH, for getting the door" Tsunade said about to deliver another hit to her former team mate when she notices the teen standing next to Jiraiya's twitching body. "Naruto! It's you, Kami, look how you've grown it's so good to see you."

"It's good to see you to Baa-Chan." Naruto says returning the hug to the closest thing he ever had to a mother.

"Ok, enough chit-chat tell me how training was and treat it as a debriefing." Tsunade now sitting in her chair anxiously awaiting the story they have.

"Well I've gotten stronger and Ero-sensei has taught me so many new jutsu. But I can't stay I got things I need to do before it gets late." Naruto say looking out the window to see it was already dark.

"Fine, I wouldn't want to keep you, but before you go …" Tsunade pulled out a ring of keys and an envelope which she hurled, at the blonde already at the door, yelling "catch."

Eyeing the keys Naruto asks "What the hell are these." Looking at the envelope and keys, Tsunade just threw at him.

"Well seeing as how that hell hole you live in now will be demolished I'm giving you this for a new residence, and that" gesturing towards the envelope "is your pay for the mission."

"Hmmm…Thanks Baa-Chan I need this money I forgot thing cost money. I've really been gone awhile." He says with a hand behind his head and a sheepish grin on his face. "Well, see ya." And with that he was gone leaving the two sannin to talk about what they are going to do.

"So, what are we going to do?" Tsunade asks pulling out the bottle of sake from under her desk.

"Well, there is only one thing we can do. Akatsuki is still hunting for him so we have to get him out of Konoha, but it can't be suspicious." Jiraiya said taking the warm sake and sipping it down.

"Hmmm…well we are going to have to send him to the Oasis." Tsunade said

"Good idea… but we'll have to get the others too." Jiraiya said in a very serious tone.

Streets of Konoha

Naruto slowly made his way down the busy street, and his mind in utter turmoil. 'What now, where is this house and where is Hinata' Naruto thought all seemed to melt away at the mention of the pale eyed girl. 'I wonder if she's change, I hope she missed me … oh crap I still got to take her for ramen I got to tell her …but where would I find her' just then he spotted none other then Sakura, the girl he had a crush on, the closes thing he had to a sister.

"Sakura!" Naruto yelled at his old teammate.

Seeing this tall man running at her Sakura immediately got ready for the worst, but when he hugged her that was it. She pulled back and gave the creep one shot right to his orange clad stomach. 'Wait…Orange?'

"Naruto?" was all the medic nin was able to force out.

"Well, it's good to see you too." Naruto made out between coughs.

"Wow it is you" Quickly dropping her bag of ice cream and picking up the fallen boy to give him a hug.

"Wow your back and look at how tall you are this is great. It's good to see you after all these years." 'Hmmm…and I know a certain girl who would be so happy to see you right now. She could us the boost in confidence'

"Hey, Naruto"

"What Sakura?"

"Well I was wondering if you would like to come to my house for a while." 'Now I got him he'd never turn down an opportunity to be with me, and then I can cheer up Hinata. Perfect' But Sakura was brought out of her scheming when Naruto said

"Sorry, Sakura, but I got plans I made a promise to someone special and I never go back on my word. Bye and thank anyhow." And Naruto was off to find Hinata, leaving a very confused Sakura behind. 'Wow, he just ditched me for someone else that must be one important person.'

Sakura picked up her bag and walked back to her house still a little confused.

Sakura's House

The moment she opened the door she was hit with a pillow.

"About time forehead girl, that ice cream is probably melted by now." Said a very annoyed Ino.

"Yeah what took you?" Asked a very intrigued Ten Ten.

"Who cares I still want an answer about methods…" Ino shot back at Ten Ten.

"Well I liked it and … is it just me or did you guys think there was something familiar about the characters." Ten Ten asked looking at Hinata.

"Sakura …" Hinata started to shake Sakura's shoulder when she finally came out of her trance.

"Sorry I was just thinking…" Sakura started

"About what Forehead girl." Ino said already opening a carton of cookie dough ice cream.

"Well Ino-pig" Sakura spat "I ran into Naruto on the way back."

"WHAT?!" the girls yelled

"Yah he was just walking down the street and I asked if he wanted to come over here, and he said he had to find someone…" Sakura said trailing of at the end.

"Wow sure it was Naruto" Ten Ten started "I mean I don't think he would have turned down a invitation from you."

"Well he said something about a promise… that this person was special." BAM! Hinata feinted and hit the ground.

"Wow, I guess the shook of Naruto being back was too much for her."

"Or it was something entirely different." Ino said with a knowing smile.

Streets of Konoha

'Damn it's getting late and I still haven't found her' Naruto had been searching forsome time after his run in with Sakura. But to no avail, he just couldn't find Hinata. He was starting to feel really down, when he rounded a corner and ran straight into, not the Hyuuga girl but the Hyuuga boy, Neji.

"Uhhh ... Neji?!" Naruto exclaimed happy to see his friend after so long. "Wow it's good to see you how have you been?"

"Ahhh ... Naruto, oh hey I've been fine, but more important how are you?" Neji asked with a little excitement in his voice.'Hinata's going to be mad when she finds out who I met.'

"I'm fine, the training with Ero-sensei help I got so much stronger." Naruto said flexing his muscles in a childish manor. But suddenly remembers who he had been looking for, for the last 20 minutes quickly asked Neji. "Ahh ... hey Neji, Do you know where Hinata is?"

Now being one of the brightest and most gifted in the Hyuuga clan and in most of Konoha, Neji was not used to being surprised. But, Kami, Neji's mind was in overload wonder what Naruto wanted.

"I haven't seen her at the clan house all day, but I think she's at Sakura's house with Ten Ten and Ino." Neji replied still tiring to figure Naruto out.

"Really, Thanks Neji I'll see you later and thanks so much." And in a flash Naruto was gone, to the same location he left a bewildered Sakura, leaving an equal confused Neji.

On the Hokage Monument

"WHAT?!?! Your kidding right there is now way in hell!" The Blue man yelled not believing his ears. (Or what ever he's got)

"Kisame, I'm almost positive... there are two now and in the same location this is to good to be true." The stoic man with red eye exclaims with a hint of excitement in his voice.

"Well, Itachi, If it's luck, the lottery or one of our birthdays, I don't give a shit lets get 'em. I mean the boss will shit himself if we bring two instead of the one brat."

"In Time Kisame, but for now let us watch I have and odd feeling something is going to change." And with that the two figures on the monument disappeared like they were never there in the first place.

In Sakura's House

"Mmm… Naruto-kun…" the young kunoichi moaned as she awakened to find herself in a very, very pink room. 'Sakura most have moved me in here when I fainted. But why I haven't done that in year's… oh it was because Naruto is coming to … see… me…'

Blotting up right in the plush bed, the memories of what Sakura had said come flooding back to her. "H-he's c-coming to s-see me, he even turned down Sakura." The last bit of her joyous speech done with no trace of a stutter.

'Little one …'

Hinata's eye's widened in horror realizing it was the same voice as before, but how? Looking around the room and finding nothing she was about to get up and leave when it cam again.

'Little one you must listen I'm still weak. But I will be with you soon…'

Now all, but calm, Hinata activated her Byukugan to search ever inch of the area. Only to find the nothing, but…

Knock, Knock

Hinata turns to the door, to see it open and the girls all coming in to see her.

"Well it's about time I thought you'd never get up." Ino said with an annoyed look on her face.

"G-gomen, Ino I didn't mean to …" Hinata started only to be cut off by Sakura.

"Ahhh… just ignore Ino-pig she is just in a bad mood since I finished all the hot fudge." Sakura say's grinning at the blonde at the door.

"Sooo…" Ten Ten began with a knowing grin on her face. "Why'd you feint you've gotten better over the last couple of year's and it's only when someone mentions a certain blonde that you do that." Causing everyone to turn and laughing when they notice the pale eyed kunoichi try to hide under the covers.

"Ahhh … leave poor, little Hinata alone we can just talk about something else…. Like Icha Icha." Sakura say to Ten Ten and Ino signaling to continue their pervious conversation.

"Yah, good idea" Ino says with a manically grin on her face. "Is it just me or in Methods, does it seem a little similar to someone we might know?" turning to look at Hinata, causing her to retreat more into the covers.

"Oh yeah I've always wonder who Miki and Ryu were based after," slowly putting out in the obvious what all the girls were thinking. "Maybe it's based on someone's life or their dream's…"

At this point Hinata wanted nothing more to just disappear, this was so embarrassing. Ok, so maybe reading the dirty books, like Kakashi, was embarrassing in the first place, but this was a whole new level of embarrassment.

In the book Methods the sequel to Tactics, from the ever so famous Icha Icha series, there is a couple that is used a lot. Now it wasn't the dirty things the couple did that were embarrassing, in fact that was Hinata's favorite part, but it was more of who they were. It begun with a certain boy called Ryu, a tall, blonde, teenage ninja with a series of scars on his cheeks. Now Ryu finds that he is in love with a girl named Miki, a young kunoichi with pale skin and blackish-blue hair and very distinctive pupil less eyes. Once these two find their love for each other they would go through many dirty ideas that could only be imagined by a teenage boy, or a girl who was deeply in love. Needless to say these were pretty much Hinata's dreams and darkest desires published for the world to see, it was like who ever wrote this knew how she felt …. Or felt the same way.

Now as for the other kunoichis they all love to do this. This was so wrong, but so right, they all hated to tease Hinata, but come on this was such a good opportunity. Basically everyone knew Hinata like Naruto it was kind of obvious, well to most. 'Baka.. I can't believe he still is clueless …hmmm maybe I should lend him a copy of my Methods maybe then he'll get some Idea's and Hinata will get a lot more then idea's' the pink haired medic Nin was jarred from her thoughts as the doorbell rang.

"Hmm ... wonder who that could be." Sakura started only to turn to Hinata with a wicked grin on her face. "Maybe its Naruto, maybe he decided to take me up on my offer, Hmmm, you know what maybe we should ask him what he thinks of Methods."

Never one to miss an opening, Ino caught on and quickly added to the elaborate joke on the young Hyuuga. "Well let's go see maybe 'Ryu' wants to meet a 'Miki' of his own." And with a wink and a quick laugh all three girls left Hinata there in shock and bewilderment. 'Oh Kami, what if it is him, oh no they're going to show him the book. I have to stop them' But before Hinata could leave she notice the window was opened. 'Open? Did Sakura open it or was it…'

Downstairs

"You know it's not going to be Naruto." Ten Ten interjects getting a groan from the other two kunoichi's.

"Yah we know, but come on you know that was fun she is probably up there now already feinted just thinking about what he might do." Sakura protests, not wanting to stop her fun yet.

"Yah she probably has such a big blush, blood is not getting anywhere else in her body." Ino said with an evil smile.

As the girls reach the door the heard a small bark, confused Sakura pulls the door open slightly to reveal a small puppy.

(Cue cheese girls-acting-like-idiots-over-dog-scene ACTION!)

"Oh look at him He's so cute. Yes you are, yes you are." Ino Screams, and grabs the puppy to glomp it in a hug.

"Ahhhh… let me pet him he is so adorable. I just wuv him!" Ten Ten yelled quickly wanting to hold the puppy.

But before Ten Ten could get the dog it Poofed away leaving 3 slightly confused kunoichis and a letter. Sakura Picked up the letter only to have the confusion leave her and be replaced with anger. "That baka, should have known look." Sakura spat and handed the letter to Ino and Ten Ten.

Dear Sakura, Ino and Ten Ten,

Hope you enjoyed the show, but it was only a joke. Sorry I'll try and make it up to you guys, but I need a diversion.

P.S Don't worry about Hinata-Chan I'm only borrowing her.

Heheh,

Naruto

The kunoichis all look at one another with the words "I'm only borrowing her" ringing clearly.

"OH SHIT." They yelled and ran up the stairs to find an empty room with no Hinata and an open window.

"Wow did that just happen…" Ino said with a tone of disbelief in her voice.

"I'm going to kill him when I find him. That baka breaking into my house." Sakura said in a very pissed tone.

"Hmmm…guys does this seem a little familiar." Ten Ten said tossing them a copy of Methods.

"No"

"Freaking"

"Way"

The page Ten Ten opened up to was page one and chapter 1 and it said

Methods

Ch1

'Snatch' and Grab

(I'm sooooo sorry for the awful joke couldn't resist)

On a Rooftop 5 minutes earlier

Talk over coffee for an hour or two,
she wonders why I'm always in a good mood.

Killin' time before she struts her stuff,

She needs support and I've become the crutch.


She'll never know how much she means to me.

I think I found a flower in a field of weeds,

I think I found a flower in a field of weeds,

Turning off his CD player and removing the CD marked Billy Talent II, Naruto looks at the house with the girl, he has thought about for the last 3 years, in it.

"Well the easy part is done now I just need to get her." Naruto said to no one in particular.

But with a Demon in you there is no privacy 'Kit this is so good do it like your first idea.' The fox boomed with a chuckle in its voice.'

'What …'

'Oh kit, you disappoint me, I thought you would remember your first night with only thought of her and 'The Five Knuckle Shuffle' all by yourself. That's how it all began you having your little dreams of her and'

'Okay, Okay stop. I got it, and yeah that seems fitting. I pray Hinata won't be mad but I got to see her.'

'Hey kit what if she reads the book or the other ones. You will be in deep shit.'

'Nah none of them would, they all hate Perverts.'

'Well they better never find out about Volume 9 and Methods' the fox said with a singsong quality to his voice.

'No shit but still I don't think Hinata would read it at least.'

'Yah, but you never know…Hey did you hear something'

'No did you'

'No forget it and get in there that shadow clone is nearly out.'

'Oh good point alright later' and with that Naruto leapt to the side of the house and climbed up to the only window with a light on. As he peered though the window there she stood. His breath caught in his throat. He had never seen someone this beautiful, the little girl he had grown up with was gone and now there was only the strong woman she had become. Not willing to wait any longer to see her he quickly opened the window. With in a second Naruto quickly snaked his way into the room with out being seen by Hinata. 'Hah Prankster king is back, I never lost my touch,' But in his haste he forgot to shut the window.

As soon as she noticed the window he panicked and grabbed her quick, but gently so not to hurt her and jumped out the window and to a near by roof where he put her down.

With in second she dropped into a fighting stance and was ready to take on anyone. But what she didn't expect was the boy she loved to walk out of the shadows. Her Breath caught in her throat audible enough to make Naruto cringe. 'Damn now she's going to hate me.'

"N-n-naruto-K-k-kun?"

'God she is still cute as ever, same old Hinata-Chan' but he was snapped back to reality as he saw she was shaking.

"Oh, Hinata-Chan, I'm sorry I didn't mean to scary you it's just that I still got to take you for ramen and you needed to tell me something and I got stuff I need to tell you too." He said realizing that he just blurted all that out and was not sure if she got all of it.

But actually Hinata couldn't take it all that had just happened, the kidnap, Naruto seeming strangely nervous and the fact he called her –Chan. It was too much for her, after not seeing him for over three years she threw all he shyness away and ran up and hugged him.

It took Naruto a second to recover, 'since when is Hinata this brave… wow she is so warm too, I wish I could stay here for ever.'

But that was only wishful thinking as Hinata snapped back to her senses and feinted in his arms.

With a chuckle Naruto sat down on the roof, Hinata still in his arms and muttered "Hinata what am I going to do with you." Naruto said just trying to joke only to hear.

'Damn, Kit, you stupid… well you are, but come on I got some idea's' sending Naruto some mental images of him and Hinata doing some rather interesting things. This caused Naruto to gush blood from his nose and pass out with Hinata still in his arms.

'Damn maybe next time.' The fox said hopefully. 'But Ahhh... Ain't they cute?'

'Yes, yes they are…' the ominous voice said trailing off at the end.

'What, HOLY SHIT…'

What could it be that is so scary it scares a demon?

Why is Akatsuki here?

Who are the 'Others' Jiraiya was talking about?

Why is the Author using such a bad cliché?

Why am I asking YOU?

Answers to these questions … and one jab at me

Next time

Alright More tomorrow, hopefully I got this one fast so I hope you like and Thanks for Reading

Chapter 3: Promises and love

Author's notes:

Thx for all the reviews the help me get the boast to write more.

Sorry for the update I had some school shit y bad but here it is.

In a dark room in another plain of Existence

Now it is easy to scary people, Kyuubi had done it a million times over. He remembered laughing as he thought how he loved the look on their faces. But with the shoe being on the other foot now, Kyuubi was scared shitlees, and had no idea what to do. He hated this, it was like he had no control. He had only felt this once before.

'W-who in the hell are you…' the fox asked dreading any result that lead to him, the mighty Kyuubi no Kitsune to hear another voice in the mind of the kit. He had always only been able to talk to the kit and no else. Although being able to hear some one other then tall, blonde and stupid was not all that bad.

'Hmm… Who are you and how can you hear me?' the same feminine voice asked. Intrigued by the voice, because she should only be able to hear her container.

(ahhh… what yeah don't worry I'll tell you later)

'Hmm… Why do you sound so familiar and what the hell are you doing in the kits head?' The, none to happy, Kyuubi asked still trying to come to terms with what was happening.

'You seem familiar too. You still haven't answered my question." the female stated in a more demanding tone.

But, for Kyuubi and his guest, things abruptly ended when our two teens began to wake, still in the rather awkward piostion.

On a Roof in Konoha

It always is a pain to sleep on a couch or the ground, because you wake up with a sore feeling in your joints and a pain in your neck. But when you happen to wake up on top of a boy, and not just any boy but the one you have loved for so long, you feel a lot better.

'Mmmm… What, Where am I, and why does my pillow feels so soft … the heart beat is so soothing...wait what.' Hinata quickly sat up to see that see was still in Naruto's arms and he was a sleep too. Looking around for some answer to why she was in this piostion, not that she minded, she realized that it had only been a few minutes and it was probably no later then 9:00. Now looking at the boy to see if he was still asleep, she saw how peaceful he looked. She had never seen him like this, he was calm instead of the normal hyperactive boy he had always been. But as she admired his face she saw a little trickle of blood going down his nose. Making sure he was still asleep she pulled out a hanky and proceeded to wipe away the blood, causing Naruto to come to.

'Mmm… ahhh, I'm so warm, and this pillow is so comfy …wait did it just move' Snapping his eyes open Naruto realized that it was Hinata still in his lap and cleaning his nose bleed. 'She is always so nice to me I can't believe I've been so stupid … I have to tell her to night.'

"Thanks Hinata-Chan, it's good to see you're awake." Naruto said with a huge grin on his face, from how caring and nice he was being to him

"N-naruto-Kun … Ano, I'm sorry for feinting …" Hinata said feeling sad that she still could not get close to him. At this rate she'd never tell him, she felt so weak and wanted to cry when Naruto said.

"It's no problem I needed the nap anyhow, so you want to get that ramen now I'm starved."

"Ano … sure I'd love to." Hinata said with a small smile on her lips. She loved how no matters what he would never get mad at her, or blame anything on her. It was a change from her normal life where people told her she was no good at anything.

'Wow she is so cute when she smiles I'll have to get her to do it more.' Naruto thought as he gazed at Hinata's beautiful face.

Realizing that Naruto was staring at her Hinata quickly looked done to hide the bright shade of red her cheeks had taken on. "Ano N-naruto-Kun s-shouldn't w-we go." Hinata stammered still feeling embarrassed that he was looking at her.

"Huh, oh yeah let's go." Naruto said grabbing Hinata's hand, causing both to blush as they walk to the Ramen bar. (Shit I can't remember the name ahhhh)

Sitting down Naruto let go of her hand causing them both to wish he hadn't. But Naruto just ordered them both an order of miso ramen and turn to Hinata, who was still blushing from Naruto holding her hand.

"So Hinata what have you been doing the last couple of years" Naruto asked as the orders arrive.

"M-me, I-I've been training and doing m-missions with my t-team" Hinata answered just taking a bit of her ramen to realize Naruto had already finish and was looking at her again. 'Why does he keep looking at me …?'

Realizing he had been caught again Naruto quickly turned around to see his second order coming. He needed something to distract him from Hinata. But no matter how hard he tried he keep turning and looking at her. The way she only took little bites, and would chew it's as not to slurp it in the way he was. She was so polite and cut with the little bit of ramen hanging from her mouth. And then it hit him, Nothing in his life had ever distracted him from ramen, was Hinata really that beautiful. Upon finishing his 2nd bowl Naruto, heard Hinata asking him a question, but strained to make it out.

"Ano … N-naruto-Kun h-how was training with Jiraiya-sama?" asking a innocent enough question just wanting to talk with him, hoping she could stay with him.

"Oh, Ero-sensei taught me loads and I've gotten stronger too." Naruto said trying his best not to brag to her. And then, as if just realizing it Naruto remembered that she wanted to tell him something, that she had wait 3 year to tell him.

"Ano, Hinata-Chan, before I left there was something you want to tell me?"

'Oh no he remembered. What do I do, should I tell him … oh god." But before she could figure out an excuse Naruto quickly added.

"Because there is something I wanted to ask you." Naruto said putting his hand behind his had and flashing her sheepish grin.

'Oh no what is he going to ask me, maybe he likes me …' but Naruto just keep talking and at a nervous pace, Hinata noticed.

"Well you see, there is this girl I like."

'Oh god he likes a girl … oh no it's Sakura …'

"Well, she is smart"

'Sakura'

"She's beautiful."

'Sakura'

"She always is there for me and I think she is the only on the truly cares for me except Iruka. I was just wondering what I should do." Naruto said not realizing the girl next to him was now staring at the counter, near tears.

"Well … N-naruto-Kun you should tell her as soon as p-possible if you f-feel like this. I-if you don't tell her y-y-you could l-l-loss them." Hinata said taking on a colder tone and willing back the tears, not wanting to seem any weaker in front of him.

"Ano, really you think I might lose her if I don't…" Naruto asked feeling a strange feeling. He had never thought about losing Hinata, but it was most defiantly a thought he did not want to think of. He loved her and hoped she loved him.

"Yes, I'm sure of it. If you wait to long you could lose the one you love." She said realizing that this advice could have helped her. She wished someone would have told her the same exact thing. But what Naruto did next caught Hinata off guard. Of all the things he could have done this shocked her the most.

He took her face in his hand and turned her so she was looking at him and in and very slowly he moved down closer to her face. With only a couple of inches between them Hinata tried her hardest not to feint. With only an inch or two between then Naruto quickly whispered.

"I love you, Hinata-Chan." And closed the distance between there lips. For one moment Hinata felt time stop her whole world stopped and nothing mattered. But before Hinata could have done anything he quickly pulled back with a blush on his check and a sheepish look on his face.

"Ano, I'm sorry Hinata-Chan I shouldn't have…" But before he could finish he was pulled down very gently and turned only to have his lips met by Hinata's. It took Naruto a good second or two to realize what was happening and quickly kissed her back wrapping his arms around here to deepen the kiss.

Hinata could not believe it. In the span of a few minutes she had goon from the most depressed girl to the happiest one on the face of the earth. He loved her, He, Uzamaki Naruto, loved her, Hyuuga Hinata.

Pulling back enough to look at Naruto's shocked expression, she smiled and whispered "I love you too, Naruto-Kun"

Realization finally hit him and the grin on his face grew wider and wider with each passing second. He couldn't believe that this princess, heiress to the Hyuuga, would love a baka like him, the carrier of the most powerful demon.

"It's what you said, I … I just could not have dealt with losing you. You're very important to me Hinata-Chan. You were always there for me and I'm so glad you love me too." Still not believing that this was all true.

"Naruto-kun" Hinata said with no stutter in her voice "You have always been important to me and ever since I first met you I loved you." She said feeling an abundance of courage she never had be for. But then again she never had him before either. As she moves in to kiss him he moves and met her half way. But before they could end the kiss a flash of light goes of right behind them.

"HA now that is what you get. One, for not tell us you took her and Two for not telling us about you guys" Both of the teens turn to see Sakura, Ino, and Ten Ten standing there smiling at the couple. Hinata, who is now so embarrassed to have been caught kissing Naruto quickly pulled away and turns to her food.

An equal embarrassed Naruto ties to find the right thing to say. But before either could defend themselves, still believing that the girls were angry at them, the three kunoichi's throw the selves at their friend.

"Hinata were so happy for you look at you your finally with him." Ino said happy that the baka finally got a clue.

"And you were kissing this is so cool, now me and you can double date." Ten Ten said feeling overjoyed that her best friend now had the boy she always wanted.

"So" Sakura said with a knowing grin on her lips "how did it happen."

"Ano, That's none of you business, besides I don't think Hinata-Chan can breath." Naruto said worried about his girlfriend, who now was bright red and trying to hide in her coat.

"Fine, Naruto, don't tell us but look what I got here" Sakura said gesturing towards the camera in her hand. And on the screen was Naruto with his hands on Hinata's waist and her hands on around his neck caught in a passionate kiss. 'Damn I didn't even know here hands were around my neck. She is so gently.' Naruto thought but instantly realized that Sakura had that photo.

"Hey, gimme that." Naruto yelled slightly embarrassed at what she might do with it.

"Nope I'm going to hang on to this till you guys tell us what happened." Sakura replied with an evil smile on her face.

"Screw it come on Hinata-Chan. It's late let's go." And it didn't take much to get the young Hyuuga away, she was so happy to be away from her friends torment. As quickly as they got up the two teens ran out of the ramen shop trying to put as mush distance between them and their friends.

"Wow, I never thought Hinata had it in her." Ino said.

Sakura simply replied "Well, She doesn't yet, but she will" with an lecherous look on her face.

"Ahhhh… a real life version of Methods, how cute!" Ten Ten said still laughing from Sakura's joke.

Street in the rich part of Konoha

The couple was running so fast down the street they were practically a blur. Once far enough away the slowed down to catch their breath and started to walk down the wealthy clan street holding hands.

"Hehe, that was embarrassing, huh? Hinata-Chan." Naruto said with his free hand behind his hand.

Hinata just nodded still mad at her friends for bursting in like that. Ruining their moment, but now she was walking with Naruto hand and hand. Not a fair trade but it would do.

"Well, I don't care that they saw us. I love you and I don't care who knows. I was madder that they interrupted our kiss." Naruto said quickly pulling the young kunoichi into him and kissing her softly.

He couldn't believe how this small amount of contact with Hinata made him feel so good, he wished it never to end. But as quickly as they were enjoying their kiss the sky started to get cloudy. And with out warning it started to rain. Quickly naruto took of his jacket and wrapped it around Hinata and quickly ran up to the Hyuuga estates. (Oh snap he doesn't know uhhhhh … this should be good.)

As they got to the gate with the Hyuuga symbol on it, Naruto felt a tug on his arm and turned to see Hinata starting to cry. Not wanting her to cry Naruto quickly embraced the young girl and asked "Hinata-Chan wants wrong."

"N-n-naruto-K-kun" Hinata made out between sobs "I can't g-g-o i-in there." Leaning into Naruto wanting nothing more then to forget the clan that shunned her.

"What do you mean, you're the Heiress." Naruto said quickly regretting it. Hinata began to cry harder and just said. "They banished me!" and just collapsed into Naruto's chest.

'They threw her out. Why? Why would Hiaishi allow his own daughter to be thrown out?' Naruto thought not even realizing that he tightened his grip on her.

"Why?" Naruto asked in a slightly angry tone.

"I-I –I… I don't know!" Hinata said hating the fact they just throw her out like a piece of trash. "They just got rid of me like I was trash."

'Trash. Trash! TRASH!'

He couldn't take it anymore after all those years of being hated and ignored, he was not going to let it happen to Hinata. He quickly grabbed her and ran up to the door still hugging her to him. As he got the he banged on the knocker and a guard appeared in seconds.

"Yes. How can I help you?" The guard asked.

"Get me Hiashi NOW!" Naruto spat at the guard scaring him senseless. The guard scrambled to get to the house and retrieve Hiaishi.

"N-n-naruto –K-un W-w-what are you doing." Hinata asked scared to see her father again.

"I'm giving this asshole a piece of my mind." Naruto said in a very annoyed tone.

It was at this time that the gaur reappeared with a rather annoyed looking Hiaishi with him. Noticing that it was Naruto he was not surprised but quickly noticed his ex-daughter with him.

"What is it?" Hiaishi asked in an annoyed voice.

"Why the hell did you banish your own daughter?" Naruto asked very coldly not wanting to loss his cool in front of Hinata.

"Oh you mean her?" Hiaishi asked gesturing towards Hinata, which made her hug tighter around Naruto.

"Yes, I mean her asshole. She was your daughter and you threw her out like she was garbage." Naruto spat wanting nothing more then to kill this man where he stood.

"I have my reasons it was in the best interests of the clan."

"THAT'S BULLSHIT. HOW IS THROWING OUT A STRONG MEMBER "IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CLAN"!" Naruto yelled now fuming.

Hiaishi was a bit annoyed now not only was this kid questioning his authority and his judgment but he was siding with the weakest member. Fine if these to miscreants want to be together let it be.

"Listen well, Brat, I did it for a good reason and as long as she was here she was only a determent to the clan. Now I am going and you two must leave good day." And Hiaishi was off leaving a very pissed off Naruto and a slightly saddened Hinata.

As Naruto got ready to jump the gate and rip Hiaishi's head off Hinata tugged on his shirt again. He turned to see Hinata looking at him wide-eyed and shaking. He quickly calmed down and said "come on Hinata lets go home."

And they left to Naruto's new house which was only down the street.

In the Hyuuga Mansion

"Hiaishi!" said a man in all white with the Hyuuga crest on his back.

"Yes, elder." Hiaishi said bowing to the powerful man.

"Those two, you must do everything in your power to break them up. They cannot be together their two "gifts" might clash. If that happens it will be bad for the Hyuuga." The elder said very bluntly.

Realizing exactly what he was talking about he thought about it. It made senses to him that their "gifts" would clash if the got to close. "Hai, I'll go tomorrow and see the Hokage."

And the Elder left Hiaishi to contemplate what to do about the two teens

Naruto's House

"WOW would you look at the size of this place. It's huge." Naruto said staring at his new house. Or should I say castle it was a full clan house with all the homes and rooms. Even the gate was exactly like the Hyuuga gate except this one had a different symbol. It had the Uzamaki crest painted in gold on the top. Fishing out the keys from his pocket Naruto quickly opened the gate rushing him and Hinata in as quickly as possible. Once inside he notices a pile of his stuff and a note that said.

Dear Naruto,

Here is all your stuff from your house and some more things you need for this house. Naruto this is a clan house, so try not to destroy it. You might not be here long so try and keep yourself in a small part of the place. Also remember to thank Kakashi he brought this stuff over. Enjoy.

Love,

Tsunade

"Wow that was nice of her…"Naruto said

"Ano Naruto-kun what do you want to do now." Hinata asked thinking of a few things she'd like to do now alone in his house.

"Hmm … well it's getting late so we should probably go to bed." Naruto said with a foxy grin on his lips.

"Ano, Naruto-Kun I … I have no clothes." Hinata said blushing slightly at the last part. Not that she would mind it was just her and Naruto here and she loved him.

"Hehehe… well" Naruto said putting his hand behind his head. Trying hard not to say anything perverted. Now that he had her he did not want to lose her. Even if he wanted her, he had to wait.

'Hmm… I wonder how long that will be I mean this is shy, little Hinata-Chan…Arghhh… I'm thinking like Ero-sensei'

"Ano…Naruto-kun … are you ok." Hinata asked feeling a little concerned.

Realizing he had been staring, he quickly said "Ne, I'm fine, but we need to get out of these wet clothes." Naruto said walking over to the pile of clothes and pulling out a pair of shorts and a shirt. He hand them to Hinata who took them and thanked him.

"Well you can change in the bathroom, where ever it is and I'll change in the bedroom." Naruto said scooping up the clothes so he could decide what he liked. In his room he found a tall mirror with a soaking wet man in it. Quickly stripping to his boxers Naruto threw on a long white shirt and a pair of boxer shorts with little foxes on 'em.

Meanwhile Hinata was having a bit of a personal conflict about her clothes. Due to the fact that everything was soaked she had to take off everything including her wraps and her panties leaving her in just Naruto's clothes. Quickly turning to leave Hinata took one last look at her self and started to walk to Naruto's room.

'I hope he doesn't notice… or then again' Hinata thought, but quickly shooed away those thought not wanting to ruin this night with Naruto. But as she got closer to the door she noticed him there just staring at her.

'Wow look at her… why did I give her such a small shirt and damn look at her legs I got to stop this.' But as Naruto was about to suggest that she change Hinata quickly asked"So how do I look"Hinata asked with a blush on her cheeks and a sly grin on her lips.

Not being able to from word Naruto just nodded causing Hinata to giggle a little. 'Wow she is so cute when she giggles I should get her to do it more.'

"Ahh…Naruto, where are we going to sleep." Hinata asked felling a little nervous now noticing that there was only one bed.

Realizing that there was only a bed in the whole house right now, and not trusting himself. Naruto decided that him on the ground and Hinata in the bed would be best.

"Well, I guess we could share the bed." Hinata said in a slightly shy voice.

"Ummm… sure that's fine, But Hinata since when are you this brave." Naruto asked causing Hinata to blush, but look him in the eyes.

"Well, Naruto-Kun, I guess I have nothing to fear anymore. I have you now and I'm out of the clan now. With all of the weight of being the heiress of my shoulders I can relax. And with you I feel safe and I don't have to worry so much about failing. If it makes me trash to love you, to not regret the clan leaving me then so be it. I love you and now that I have you I can just relax and enjoy ever minute of it." Hinata said with a huge smile on her face.

Never in Naruto's life had he heard so many words from Hinata. But the words she said were brave and full of courage, he didn't realize it before, but he had changed her. In one quick motion Naruto pulled Hinata close to him and leaned back to fall on the bed. With an "Eep' him and Hinata hit the bed, both looking it each others eyes. He loved those eyes. People might have seen these eyes as devoid of feeling. But when Naruto looked in her eyes he could see so many emotions, all the emotions he had longed for. After all these years he final had what he always wanted. He slowly moved up to kiss her and she met him half way. After a long kiss they both pulled back enough to look at each other again.

"Hinata I promise that I will always be with you and if you promise me the same I'll make sure you never feel alone or judged again." Naruto said, holding her closer then before hoping to never have to let her go.

"Hai, I promise Naruto, that is what I have always wanted to hear, thank you." Hinata said feeling her eyes well up with tears.

Using one thumb to brush away her tears Naruto pulls her in to another passionate kiss.

"Hinata, I love you." Naruto said slowly feeling sleepily. Not because he was tried but more because he just felt content being with her.

"I love you to Naruto." And with that the both fell asleep completely unaware of the troubles their love will bring. Not realizing how many people want them to be apart and to tear them up.

Alright that's it hope you like, More later maybe Friday I'm sorry for slow update R&R
