Declaimer: Lovelyanime does not own Naruto. She wished she did, she wished might…But there's no way that is going to happen.
Lovelyanime: Hello everyone. Sorry I have not updated in a very long time. But I'm working on my other stories I can't update this as often as I should. I've worked on this chapter almost all day with Zodiac U and this Valentine onshot I'm working on. So I hope it is good and you all enjoy. I will answer everyone's reviews in every chapter now. I usually wait until chapter ten, but I decided not to do that anymore. This a short chapter, but I'll try to make longer ones in the future.

Chapter 2- So Embarrassed
Naruto came down the stairs, wearing a black gakuran uniform. He slung his backpack over his shoulders as he past his otou-san in the kitchen.
"Naruto, aren't you going to have breakfast?" Arashi asked his son.
"No, I'm not hungry." Naruto said. "Plus, I got to hurry to see Sasuke. He's going to show me around the school."
"Well at least have some juice." Arashi told him, handing the bottle from the table.
Naruto sighed and turned around to Arashi. He grabbed the bottle of juice and began to drink it.
"Use a cup!" Arashi yelled at Naruto. "There are other people here who drink that too you know."
Naruto stopped drinking and puts the bottle back on the table. "I've seen Ero-sennin drink the milk out of the carton."
"Oi! I told you not to call me that. Just because I have pet frogs and write those books doesn't mean you can call me that!" Jiraiya yelled as he came into the kitchen. "And I do not drink out of the carton!"
"Sure you do. I saw you do it a couple nights ago, Ero-sennin."
"Stop calling me that!"
Arashi scratched the top of his head. "Maybe you should leave now Naruto."
"Fine," Naruto headed to the front door. "See you guys when I get home." Naruto went out side and started to walk toward his new school.
Arashi sighed. "It's been a week since he has been here." He smiled. "It's nice to have him around again."
"Yeah, maybe for you. You're not the one being called Ero-sennin in front of everyone in public." Jiraiya sat in a chair at the table across from Arashi.
Arashi eyed his old caretaker. "I'm just wondering…Do you drink out of the carton?"
"Iie, I think it was Kakashi that Naruto saw."
"Naruto saw me do what?" Kakashi came into the kitchen with a red book in his hand.
"Nothing, it's done and over with." Arashi did not want to bother talking about it. He knew both of the men did it all the time. He knew it and did not want to bother to tell them not to since they would just do it again.
Kakashi saw something on the counter. "Looks like Naruto forgot his bento."
"Should one of us catch up with him and give it to him?" Jiraiya suggested.
"Iie, I knew he was going to forget it so I asked someone to make him one just in case." Arashi chuckled. "Of course she just has to have the courage to give it to him."
Back to Naruto…
Naruto walked down the street. He was not excited about going to school since he has had a bad experience back in America. Bad grade, always getting into trouble, no friends…
'This is a waste of my time.' Naruto turned around. He heard a gasp and a glimpse of something-or more like someone at a corner. He stood there for moment, waiting to see if the person would come back or something. But there was no one there on the street besides him.
"Is someone over there?" There was no response. He thought for and moment before heading toward the school again. 'It's probably Ero-sennin or otou-san checking if I'm actually going.'
At the corner, was Hinata wearing her sailor school uniform. She could not believe it. It was him! It was Naruto! And he almost caught her! She looked back to see him walking away. She had seen him during the last week, but she never had the courage to talk to him. Once, when she was coming out of her house Arashi called to her and Naruto almost saw her.
FLASHBACK
Hinata sighed. It was almost time for school again. She was going to be in her third and final year in high school. She was not very happy about it. She did not like high school at all. She wished that she would be home studied like her younger sister Hanabi. Yet, her otou-san told her that she needed to be more social and learn to be not so timid. While she is wearing her lolita dresses or not.
The only time when Hinata was really confident was when she wore lolita. Sweet, classic, or gothic, it did not matter what kind it was. Of course it was not very much confident, but she at least did not look at the ground and avoid eye contact.
Hinata put on her shoes and opened the front door. She was done training with her cousin in the dojo for today and was going to go to Harajuku. Since she had no where else to go and had not been there for a long time. She had decided to wear a gothic lolita dress today. It was black and white small checkered design. It had two laces in the front going from the top to the bottom of the dress. It had a black collar and a black tied ribbon on the back of the dress.
Hinata walked outside and heard some voices. She looked and saw Arashi, Sasuke, Jiraiya, and-
She gasped. "N-N-Naruto-kun." Her face went red as she stared at him. She had seen him the past couple days, but she had never said hi to him.
It looked like they were about to leave or something. She was not sure. She turned around to go back inside her house. She thought she should wait until they were not there anymore. Yet, life was so cruel to her.
Arashi heard her gasp and looked. He smiled and waved at her. "Hinata-san!"
Hinata quickly looked over at him then at Naruto. He was turning around to see whom Arashi was yelling at. Hinata started to panic. She did not want him to see her yet. It was to soon for her! She hurried to get back inside, but she tripped over her own two feet.
"Hinata-san!" Arashi went to Hinata to see if she was all right.
Hinata did not notice him. She began to crawl inside her house. If she stood, Naruto would see her face and she would be so embarrassed. When Arashi came to her side, she was already half way through the door.
"Hinata-san are you okay?" He asked as he pulled her up to her feet.
"H-hai." She stuttered.
"Are you sure?" She nodded her head yes. "Okay then. Oi, we were just about to go get some ramen and show Naruto around. Do you want to come with us?"
Hinata's face turned bright red. She could not do that. She could not face him. But it would be so wonderful to spend the day with him, even if it was with Arashi, Jiraiya, and Sasuke…Sasuke? Her face paled at this. They knew each other because both their parents own dojos and would have competitions against each other or to just have dinner. If he saw her blush every time Naruto said something to her, he would never leave her alone about it.
"I-iie, th-that's okay. I-I was p-planning t-to go somewhere else today." She told Arashi.
"Are you sure? Jiraiya and I are paying for ramen and you could spend some time with Naruto. Maybe you two can even share a bowl of ramen." He smirked, knowing the girl would go all red at this.
And she did. Why did he like to tease her like that? "I-iie th-thank you."
"Okay then. Maybe when you two go on your first date." He watched Hinata's face grow redder and he just continued to chuckle.
"Arashi! We're about to leave!" Jiraiya yelled.
"I'll see you later Hinata-san. Tell your otou-san that I'll see him tonight for our meeting." Arashi left the girl as she just stood there.
She soon shut the door and sighed. She hoped Naruto had not seen her face. She slid down against the door until she reached the ground.
"Hinata, what are you doing?"
Hinata looked up to see Hiashi. "I-I was just…Ano…P-putting on m-my sh-shoes. I-I'm a-all done now." Hinata said as she stood up from the ground.
"I see…" Hiashi turned around. "Be careful and come home by eight."
"Hai otou-san."
END OF FLASHBACK
Hinata still was not get over it. She made sure that Naruto was not outside every time she left the house.
"Naruto-kun." She looked back at Naruto. He was still walking and she did not dare to walk behind him. He might catch her this time and think she was following him like…Some stalker or something. But the truth was she was going to school like him
Hinata sighed as she decided to not care and go ahead and walk. She came from around the corner and headed to school. She watched Naruto walk in front of her, not knowing she was even there. She smiled as she felt her chest feel so warm inside.
'Maybe at school I will have a chance to talk t him.' She thought to herself
End of chapter
Lovelyanime translations
bento- lunch box
gakuran- type of japanese uniform.
Harajuku- Place for young to be on Sundays afternoon. A place for people to cosplay and any other activities that might seem odd in other locations in Japan. (I hope I got that right)
Lovelyanime: There you go, the second chapter. I've been working on it(along with my other stories) all day and now it's almost one and I'm not even sleepy yet. I know it's short and a little quick, but I do that a lot in my stories. So please forgive me. The dress I mention Hinata was wearing is suppose to be a dress my friend gave me. I can't really explain how it looks like, but it is really nice. I even have a picture of me wearing it in my myspace pictures. Anyway, I will try to update soon, but I'm not making any promises. Maybe I can do a monthly update or something.
Naruto: You looked really nice in the lolita dress Hinata-chan! Even in the school uniform too!
Hinata: (blushes) A-arigotou N-Naruto-kun. You l-look n-nice in g-gakuran.
Lovelyanime: All right. Enough with you two. Lets do the reviews now.
Reviews!
Copper Hikari- I know his dad is dead, but in my story he's not.
Lord Cynic- I forgot to mention it's a AU. I do that a lot when I want to do something in my stories, I forget to mention it. I think I will have Naruto speak english and so people would know he is, I'll do the underline thing. Thanks for the idea.
Selene69- Thank you, I know I am. lol I'm kidding. I know you're talking about the story.
Maned Wolf Goddess- Thanks. Sorry I updated late. I'll try not to be late for the next one.
Lunarangel's Dark Flame- Thanks. Hina-chan will do her best to cheer him up…Of course when she's brave enough she'll do it. lol
sealdfox- I hope it's good too. I hope you continue to like it and I'll do my best.
Kazumi Kairi or Kairi-chan - Thank you! I love NaruHina parings too. It is better than every other pairing I've seen. Even better than GaaLee……What? I like them together. Lol
Shoutenryu- Sorry I did not update early like you wanted. And you want to be my beta? Um…I don't really know what a beta is. Sorry, I can be a little dense sometimes(even my friend told me that. He was lucky we were at school and there were witnesses.) Whatever it is, I'm sure I'll say yes.
Starfaiy14s- I think Hinata looks awesome in gothic lolita too. I don't really like my story line too, but I did not know what else to do. I'm sure it'll be better for you. It has yankees and gals in it too, so I'm sure that will make it better later on. I love lolita, Hina-chan, Naruto, and Naruhina too. My friend gave me a list of brands. And I just read the manga Othello and it talked about Harajuku in it. That's why I mentioned it in here. I'll have Naruto follow her there later on in the story. I'll think about Hinata model for lolita magazines like Gothic Lolita Bible. But I'm not sure yet. I'm going to have Hinata listen to things other than classic music. Like there's a band(forgot name) my friend told me about and the guy in it named Mana does lolita too. So I was thinking she listens to him too. Naruto will think it's weird of Hinata to wear lolita, but he'll like it later on. If you do write your own story like this, I'll defiantly read it if it's naruhina(that's only pairing I'll read.)
HinaNaruFAN987- Thank you. But when I do have a story in my head, I don't really update until a long time like this.
mangakaz- Sorry I haven't updated. I of a lot of ideas for this. Like, there will be a yankee and a gal later on. I hope you liked this chapter even though it's short
