Chapter one

It was a cloudy day for Hinata Hyuuga. She sat in a tree, scanning the area for traces of her cousin. They were playing a rather advanced game for hide and seek. He had hidden away in the forest somewhere, and she had to find him and trap him. She muttered, her byakugan flashing into action.

She had noticed a mistake he made a couple miles back. He had broken some scrub and left shoe marks in mud. Still, he was good at this game. She still couldn't find him even with her byakugan in action.

The it hit her, he wasn't in the forest because he never laid the rules down. He was inside. 'Cheater.' Was the only thing she thought as she raced towards her home.

Neji was reading a book in his room. He and his cousin were playing hide and seek, but he never said where the boundaries were, so technically he wasn't cheating. He wondered how long it would take for her to figure out where he was. He was in the middle of a sentence when a hand rested on his shoulder.

"Found you Neji-nii-san!" Hinata said with pride. He was astonished, he hadn't even heard her enter his room let alone in the house. He had his byakugan on as well, man was she getting good!

"Very well, I'm it. I'll start counting." Neji did exactly that as he heard Hinata leave the room.

Hinata had decided to hide in the forest. She was going to hide in the place she knew best, her waterfall. The only person to have discovered it besides her was Naruto and he found it accidentally with her training on the water. He told her the next day and said she looked like an angel.

She found her place and knew she'd be there for awhile. She walked over to a rock by the water that made a small pool at the bottom of the waterfall. She slid off her ninja shoes and dipped her feet into the water.

The water was cold, but soothing at the same time. She felt uncomfortable, and already knew why.

"N-Naruto-san…why a-are y-you spying on me?" It was hard for Hinata to make out the first few words. She didn't get an answer, so she stuck with her gut, picked up a rock and chucked it into the bushes. She heard a loud wail of pain and giggled.

"How'd you know it was me?" Naruto complained as he stepped out of the bushes.

"Naruto-san, you were as loud as a tiger." Hinata laughed.

"I didn't make that much noise. I just tripped and smacked a spider. How could you possibly hear that?" He asked, with a smirk.

"Naruto-san…. What are you doing here?" Hinata asked, she just now realized she wasn't stuttering. It appeared Naruto did to because he had a smirk imprinted on his face.

"I… just wanted to see if you were here cause, you know, you're always here and yeah. I have something to say so let me finish…. I can't say it…." Naruto said with a shaky voice. Hinata realized a blush was crawling onto his face.

"Naruto-san, spit it out. You know you can tell me anything." Hinata said encouragingly. Naruto turned towards her and smiled. Hinata had to admit, she loved him when he smiled. It's why she fell in love with him.

"I know, but I'm afraid you'll reject me…" He said softly. Hinata gave him a confused look. 'What did Sakura-san say about getting men to talk, arouse them, anger them, or something else.' Hinata thought and decided she anger him.

"Naruto, if you don't tell me, I'll leave." Hinata said, emphasizing the word 'leave'. His expression changed then and he grabbed her arm. She starred into his sapphire blue eyes while he starred into her slightly indigo ones.

"Hinata-chan… I love you!" Naruto said, with a very stubborn look. 'What.. he loves me?' Hinata thought, and started laughing.

"What's so funny?" He yelled.

"I'm sorry Naruto-san, but Sakura-san was right. You are easy to force stuff from." Hinata said between laughs. Naruto's expression softened as he started to laugh with her.

"It's alright. What do you mean, Sakura-chan was right?" Naruto asked as she straightened herself out, a giggle escaped her very now and then.

"Sakura-san said that if I anger you, I could force anything from you. I was laughing at the fact that she was right for once." Hinata said, giving him a smile.

"Oh, I thought you were laughing because-"He trailed off afraid to say it again.

"I wouldn't laugh at you because of that Naruto-san. I'm actually quiet happy. I've liked you for some time now." Hinata said still smiling. Naruto turned at her with a slightly gapped mouth. Hinata couldn't help but laugh again.

"Hinata-san, you're it." A voice said from behind her. Naruto jumped into fighting position, looking around for the perpetrator.

"Nejiiiiiiiiiii-niiii-sannnnn, how'd you find me?" Hinata complained as she stood up.

"You two were laughing like hyenas. Naruto-san, would like to join us?" Neji said, appearing out of the trees. Naruto relaxed.

"What are you guys doing?" Naruto asked.

"We're playing hide and go seek, it's more advanced though." Hinata said with a smile.

"Alright." Naruto said with a smile.

"You're it then Naruto-kun." Hinata said disappearing in the woods. 'Did she just call me Naruto-chan?' He thought. 'Has she accepted me?' He thought, but started after her.
