Hinata's Breakthrough

Now I will tell you

What I've done for you

Hinata Hyuga gripped her shirt tightly in such nervousness. The only reason she was even doing this was because Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, and even TenTen were forcing to. Making her way through the crowded room to her target and gulped when her cousin, Neji Hyuga spotted her making her way towards him and the small group of guys.

50,000 tears I've cried

Screaming, deceiving, and bleeding for you

And you still won't hear me

Quickly averting her gaze to the floor once more, the timid girl went forward and stopped just behind a certain blonde haired jinchuuriki. "Uhm..uhh…N-Naruto." Her two index fingers were poking together like they always did when she was nervous or near him.

The blonde turned. "Mhm? OH! Hey, Hinata! What's up?"

"Uhm..uh.." her face was all red.

Don't offer your hand

This time I'll save myself

Maybe I'll wake up for once

Not tormented daily by you

Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom

"Hm?Hinata? Is something wrong? Are you sick or something?"

Her body froze, but somehow; for once, she was able to get her mouth to work for her. "Y-yeah, I'm fine. I j-just wanted to tell you s-something."

I've dived again

I'm going under

Drowning you

I'm falling forever

I've got to break through

"Really? What is it?"

"Uhm," She swallowed nervously, very aware that almost everyone was watching her now. "I-uhm-w-wanted to tell you…th-that…uhm..I…Ilikeyou!"

"Uhhh…sorry, Hinata, but could you repeat that?"

Blushing even darker, she bit her lip and looked up at him. "I like you, Naruto…"

Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies

So I don't know what's real and what's not

Always confusing the thoughts in my head

So I can't trust myself anymore

"Well, uh, I like you too, Hinata." Naruto grinned.

"You idiot!" Kiba smacked him. "She means that she wants to go out with you."

Hinata's blush somehow got even darker than it already was and her sudden moment of boldness vanished just as it had come; her head was lowered again.

I've dived again

Going under

Drowning you

I'm falling forever

I've got to break through

"Oh…Oh!" Naruto looked down at Hinata, then at Kiba and then back at Hinata; a blush now rising to his own cheeks as he embarrassedly scratched the back of his head.

Scream at me so far away

I won't be broken again

I've got to break through

I can't keep going under

"Uhm.." Naruto gulped before his trademark grin showed. Sure he did still love Sakura, but even he knew that was a lost cause. "Want some Ramen?" He suddenly asked. " Could be a date!"

Hinata looked up at him in shock then, smiled happily. "O-Okay!"
