My 'H' key is being crappy right now, so if I miss any H's, you know why

Okay, one thing that you should be aware of is that in order for this story to make sense we just have to act like the whole confession thing never happened.

It was December 24th, Christmas Eve & as Naruto walked down the streets (Or whatever you would call those pathways of sand) of the Leaf Village all he saw were people full of Christmas cheer. Then Naruto saw something that didn't quite fit: Hinata was sitting on a bench looking unusually sad. Naruto wondered why and how someone could be sad on Christmas Eve, so he walked over to her.

"Hey there, Hinata, what's wrong?"

"Oh, umm, h-hello, N-Naruto. Nothing is wrong." She said and ten turned her head away from him.

Naruto looked at her face and noticed that everything about it said the opposite of her last statement, so he tried again. "Hinata, what's wrong?"

Hinata looked at him slightly and asked, "Do you r-really want to know?"

'Pervy Sage was right!' Naruto thought as he remembered some of Jiraya's words of wisdom.

FLASHBACK

"Naruto, there's something very important that you should know."

"Huh? What is it? Is it something about my jutsu? Is it a way to make my jutsu stronger?"

"No."

"Well what's it about then? Can it wait 'till later?"

"No, Naruto, now listen! This is something that Minato had trouble with."

"Huh? Who's Minato?"

"Look, that's not the point! This is about women."

"Huh? That doesn't seem too important."

"That's what Minato thought."

"This Minato guy sounds like a real loser."

"Naruto! Do not speak that way about him!"

"I'm just saying what's so special about him?"

"Yeah, you definitely take after Kushina." Jiraya muttered to himself

"Huh? What'd ya say?"

"Huh? Nothing."

"Good, then let's get back to training!"

"Naruto, will you listen to me? My God, It's like I'm talking to a five year old with a freakin' one track mind!"

"Hey!"

"Naruto, if you listen then we can get back to training."

"Alright, whatever."

"Now listen Naruto, when you ask a woman what's wrong, if she says 'nothing', she means 'everything'. And if you ask her if she wants something and she says 'no', most of the time, she means 'yes." A/N: I'm not saying that these are my views, but Jiraya strikes me as the type of guy who believes in those philosophies.

END FLASHBACK

"Of course I do, Hinata! And I'll do anything I can to fix your problem."

"Well," She said as she turned her head away again "It's nothing very s-serious…"

"Did you forget to buy presents?"

"N-no, I remembered, but it's just that… Its Christmas tomorrow, isn't it?"

"Of course it is, you know that."

"Well, the members of my clan are usually so busy taking down the decorations from Christmas and catching up on work that wasn't done and then afterwards, preparing for New Years that no one remembers my birthday two days afterward. It's not about the presents for me, I like being together with family and friends, but Christmas is a celebration for everyone. It would feel nice if someone would remember my birthday."

"…'Nothing very serious' is what you said to me… but Hinata, what you just told me is serious. To have someone forget your birthday feels awful, but to have your own family forget it… it must feel like they've forgotten you were alive."

"No, N-Naruto, it's not that serious."

"I know what I'll do! Just you wait, Hinata, this'll be great! Of course I'll have to do a lot of planning, but just you wait!" And with that, Naruto was off, he ran toward his house so he could plan.

3 days later

Christmas had come and gone and now it was time for everyone to get back on track with their lives… until they start partying again on New Years. Hinata knew what to expect when she woke up: a normal day, nothing special and while going home, she would take the scenic route and get a cupcake, which she would eat in her room and then go to sleep. Hinata got up from bed, got dressed and in the middle of brushing her teeth, she heard Neji call her name, so she spit out her tooth paste and responded with a "Yes?"

"Naruto's here to see you!"

What'd ya think? Was it good? If it was, maybe you could review, then. Huh? You won't? *Goes to corner and cries*

Sasuke: Umm, while our extremely manly writer cries his heart out, I'd like to tell you what he was supposed to say: We'll see you next chapter. Why did I get to do this you may ask. It's because I got paid to do it.
