A year has passed since the chuunin exam and everyone has been going on with his or her regular lives. Hinata was never able to win over Naruto, so she eventually gave up on trying to impress anyone and continued to be her shy quiet self.
Hinata was sitting peacefully on a park bench, lost in her own thought. When Naruto walked by and he saw Hinata. He waved and sat down beside Hinata. "Hello Hinata" Naruto said with a smile. He had always just considered Hinata a good friend.
"Hello Naruto-kun" Hinata said sheepishly. She still wished Naruto would like her more than just a friend, but she didn't care anymore, he was never going to see her as someone special enough to consider as a significant other. Naruto paused before saying, "Uh, nice weather isn't it?" nice weather? He thought. Why not just tell her the flowers are in bloom? Hinata smiled and just responded with a simple "Yes, it is Naruto-kun". Naruto found it hard to stay comfortable on the bench on which he was sitting. Why am I so uncomfortable? He thought to himself. Naruto had never had trouble acting around Hinata before, and he was wondering why he couldn't concentrate, and what was with his earlier weather question. Hinata noticed Naruto's discomfort, and decided to break the silence. "Want to walk Naruto-kun?"
Naruto looked at Hinata with a sort of stunned face. "Uh... sure...uh, yeah." Naruto stood up and held out a hand to help Hinata off the park bench. Hinata started blushing when she touched Naruto's hand, but not as much as Naruto. Naruto's face was going completely red as he couldn't help but smile. Finally the moment that seemed to last forever ended, and the two let go of each others hand, still blushing, although it didn't seem either of them noticed how much the other was blushing. They started walking and Naruto decided to strike up conversation. "So uh, what have you been doing lately?"
"Oh, not much, I've just been sitting at home mostly. It's not like I've got too many people to hang out with." Hinata looked away from Naruto, kind of ashamed that she didn't have a more interesting life like Naruto.
Naruto smiled and laughed. "Well, there's always Kiba, he seems like a cool guy to hang out with" Naruto, what the hell is wrong with you?! Why Kiba? Why not invite her somewhere instead of suggesting other people?
Naruto must've looked really distracted because Hinata quietly asked "Anything wrong Naruto-kun?" Even if she gave up on trying to impress Naruto, she still felt a genuine feeling of compassion for Naruto.
"What? Oh, nothing Hinata" Naruto looked up into the sky and thought about why he couldn't quite act normal. Naruto spent a good amount of time thinking about why he couldn't be his normal self around Hinata, because before he knew it, they were at the door of his house. "Yeah, well, this is my house, so I'll see you later Hinata-chan" He quickly opened the door and ran inside, but not before waving goodbye to Hinata. He ran up to his room and jumped on his bed, landing face first. "Ow. Damn it, when did I ever start to like Hinata this much?" Naruto sat on his bed and started thinking about Hinata, getting lost, deep in his thoughts.
Hinata sighed and started walking. Kiba happened to be walking in the other direction. Akamaru wasn't with him, which seemed strange to her, but she shrugged it off and decided that Akamaru was probably tired. She waved to him and greeted him with a friendly "Hello Kiba-kun"
Kiba returned the greeting with another wave "Hello Hinata-san" Alright, this is it Kiba, you're finally going to tell her, no chickening out this time. Kiba swallowed the saliva gathering in his mouth with a loud gulp. "Uh, Hinata-chan..."
"Yes Kiba-kun?"
"Uh well, I was thinking... that uh... well, I was never able to come forward before and..." Oh, to hell with it. Kiba grabbed Hinata by the waist and embraced her neck as he firmly kissed her soft lips.
Hinata's eyes were wide with shock, she had never expected this kind of behaviour from Kiba, but she found she wasn't backing down from Kiba's grasp. Instead, she slowly shut her eyes and wrapped her arms around Kiba's own waist and pulled him closer to her. Kiba... I never thought that I could ever like him in this way, but, in all the time that I've known him, he's shown me more compassion than anyone I know, and he has never left me feeling sad or lonely in times of sorrow. During the chuunin exam, all he ever cared about was my well being. Why didn't I see it before? I've been just as blind to Kiba's love as Naruto has been to mine. Kiba, I'm sorry I never saw your love before, but I see it now, and I'll accept it for as long as you accept mine. Hinata let out a slight moan, she had never been this happy before. Naruto didn't matter anymore, Kiba was all that mattered in her world now. His muscular body firm within her grasp, nothing was going to make her let go. Hinata could feel her tongue growing tired inside Kiba's mouth, but now, she had the energy to go all day.
Kiba woke up from what seemed like a dream, except to find that he was still kissing Hinata, and that she hadn't tried to resist him, but actually embraced him herself. It was Kiba's fantasy come to life. Kiba never wanted this moment to end. He had always lived in despair because he could never confess to Hinata that he loved her, mostly because she had always spent all of her time looking Naruto's way, blushing the whole time, probably thinking about him and her being together. But now it was different. Hinata was his own and nobody else's. He no longer had to worry about Naruto, no more worrying period.
"Alright! That's enough! I'm going crazy, I have to go see Hinata and tell her how I feel. I can't stand being alone anymore. I can't even stand to be away from her for that matter! Hinata! Wait up, I'm coming for you!" Naruto jumped out of his bed and ran outside the door to his room, and down the stairs, and opened the door to the sight of Kiba and Hinata kissing passionately. Naruto was devastated, he just stood there, as Kiba and Hinata kissed, completely unaware of anything else around them, lost in their own world. Naruto choked out a cry, and then broke into tears. He ran in the opposite direction that Kiba had come in, back to the park, with tears running down his face. Looking down at the ground, he ran as fast as he could in any which direction. It didn't matter to him. His love was gone, out of his reach.

Haku: Do you have anyone that's special to you?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, special. Naruto thought. What good is having a special some one if they don't see you as special back? Tears continued to roll down Naruto's face. Why Hinata? Why was I so blind? I couldn't see you as the person you really were. Why couldn't things start over so I could have another chance? Naruto kept running until he eventually ran into Sakura, knocking her over.
"Naruto! Why don't you watch where you're going?" Sakura was going to tell off Naruto some more until she saw the tears flooding from his eyes. She stopped and looked at Naruto with his head down, sniffing and crying, so upset that it actually pained her to see him like this. "Hey, Naruto, what's wrong"
Naruto kept his head down, because he was still crying, and didn't want to look Sakura in the eye in his current state. "Sniff Hinata... I was too late to tell her...sniff" He looked up into Sakura's sympathetic eyes and tried to smile but he could hardly stop crying let alone smile.
Then, Sakura did something she never thought she would do ever. She grabbed Naruto, and hugged him. Holding him close to her chest. Naruto, still crying, looked up at Sakura who had a deep sadness in her eye, the pain she felt watching Naruto suffer like that. It reminded her of the pain she went through trying to get Sasuke. Sakura started to feel differently about Naruto. After seeing the other side of Naruto, she saw past his noisy annoying exterior. She saw the sad lonely kid that was shunned only for the crime of being the saviour of his village. "Naruto..." She clenched her fists onto Naruto's jacket as tears began to run down her face. "Naruto... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you so much." She rested her chin on his head, still gripping his shirt tightly.
