Young Love
Chapter 2
Naruto woke up early the next morning and was feeling great… until he slipped on his skateboard, hit his head on the bed frame and knocked himself out. Not a good way to spend your first few waking minutes… especially when he needed to pass the exams today that would let him become a Genine. He woke up about 3 hours later with a grinding headache and to his dismay saw he was late for school. As soon as he got in the classroom he tried to slip through without being noticed. He nearly had it until a shy voice behind him said
"Hi Naruto"
At the sound of the soft voice he jumped 5 feet in the air and yelled, flabbergasted. Right on queue, the ENTIRE class looked at him and of course Iruka wasn't born yesterday, so let's just skip through Naruto's harsh punishment for being tardy.
applause from the audience members (that's you… seriously start clapping)
The final exam was to pass 2/3 tests. One on genjutsu (illusion), taijutsu (fighting), and ninjutsu (cool ninja arts).
Unfortunately he failed the genjutsu… he didn't even have the slightest inclination to what the word even meant (that's pathetic). He passed decently on his taijutsu skills, but time for the real test.
"Uzumaki, Naruto" called Iruka
Naruto stepped forward to receive his requirement.
"Create at least 3 doppelgangers of yourself" declared a serious Iruka
"That's it??? Exclaimed Naruto, flabbergasted (yes I love that word)
To Naruto's cause he had trained hard, but luck just wasn't with him. As the smoke cleared that was signature to almost all ninjutsu, he saw what looked to be an old decrepit Naruto beside him with a fox tail… how very odd.
Iruka glanced pitifully at the clone before returning his gaze to Naruto.
"Ta da?" asked Naruto weakly.
Iruka spoke two words with final authority that would be the most horrifying sounds that he could have EVER heard. "You fail."
Afterwards, Naruto wandered aimlessly around the village listening to the Kyuubi taunt him.
"TOO BAD, Naruto!!!!"
"Maybe you'll get it next time… or the time after that! Who knows!?!?!? This is the 3rd time you've taken it already!!!"
fox laughter
His pain was interrupted by a small timid girl that had somehow snuck up behind him in his melancholy.
"H-H-Hi N-Naruto" spoke up the shy but cute Hyuga girl.
"Oh hey." Said Naruto without any interest.
"I'm sorry about…" she began
"No. it's not your fault it's mine" interrupted Naruto
"Well I just thought… if you want to come over to my house for ramen I'd be glad to make you some." Offered the Hyuga.
Not even that would lighten up Naruto's spirits.
"I suppose…" he responded.
Hinata giggled. Come to my house around 8:00 pm tonight okay?
"Sure" responded Naruto blandly.
"If you don't want to come…." She started to say
All at once everything stopped. Naruto noticed that everything had lost its color.
"You're as blind as a freaking bat, you know that???" demanded the kyuubi, now taking the form of a 6-tailed fox about as tall as he was
"Why do you say that?" responded Naruto.
"GOOD GOD YOU'RE STUPID!!! LOOK AT HER! SHE'S BLUSHING LIKE CRAZY; SHE'S FIDGITING; MY GOD SHE EVEN STALKES YOU! SHE LIKES YOU FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!!!!" Started screeching the Kyuubi (how Type 123 on the review if you ever wanted to smack Naruto in the face like this)
"What?" was Naruto's only response, "no, she couldn't like me! Could she?" he asked confused.
At this point the kyuubi starts ranting and raving and cursing all at the top of his lungs trying to get across to Naruto just how big of an imbecile he really was. At the end of which, kyuubi just sighed and shook it's head. All at once it disappeared and the world was put on play again. Hinata stopped suddenly.
"Hinata! What's wrong?" he asked suddenly concerned.
"I don't know…. For some reason I feel all light headed." She tried to explain.
"Here sit down" Naruto was still in the processing stage but he suddenly felt a growing desire for… Hinata. Not for her body but for her well being; for her company; for her presence.
"Hinata… I think I will come tonight. Eight sounds great." (At this point he lets out a chuckle at his own pathetic joke)
Hinata smiled warmly and set off towards home, little did she know she would get the experience of a lifetime in just a few hours.
Huh? Didn't I tell you it'd get better!?!?!?! Now I have a couple of things to get down to… those of you who were kind enough to hold their reviews until now I thank you, you each get a piece of candy on me (if you pay for shipping and handling to send it to you) now I would like you to review. As I said this is my first one be gentle. Constructive criticism good; flaming bad. Also it you wanted to scream at Naruto for being an idiot and ignoring Hinata, type 123 on the review, and if you had something special in mind share it… don't be selfish. . Oh… and those of u still clapping from the skipped punishment thing can stop. Seriously. . have a good day…
Also here is my disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of its characters although I WILL one day rule the world with the evil Tellitubbi mind control waves.
