A/N: Well, I got some reviews on this so I'm continuing it. Hope you all like this chapter! I'll continue the next chapter later

Ayame is the girl who works in Ichiraku's in the anime and manga.

Hinata sat there, awkwardly, next to Naruto in Ichiraku's. What now…She stole a glance at Naruto and he was scratching his head, nervously. He looks so…defenseless now. Not like the Naruto I know…

Naruto was the first to break the silence, "Well, this was great Hinata…But, I have training after this…So, I guess I'll see you later?" Naruto couldn't look Hinata in the eyes while he said this, for some reason…Looking into her eyes seemed so unheard of right now.

Hinata was so abruptly brought out of her thoughts she almost jumped out of her seat. "..Um, sure Naruto-kun. That'd be great. I have training after this anyways…"

Suddenly, this sparked Naruto's interest, "Really? What kind of training do you do?"

"A-Ano, just working on my Juuken practice, is all." She then looked over to Naruto to see a huge grin on his face.

"Hinata, I think I've found out the perfect jutsu for us both! I've just gotta ask Tsunade-Obaa-chan to see if it's possible with our chakra levels." With this he got up excitedly, "You go ahead and train! I'm off to ask her, and plus, don't worry about me getting to my training late. Kakashi-sensei's always late anyways! I'll tell you as soon as I can!" And he ran off, looking very excited…even for Naruto.

Hinata sat there, confused, at what had just happened. When suddenly a voice came from behind her, "Well…You two sure get along."

Hinata jumped and spun around to see Ayame with a playful grin on her face. "W-What do you mean…?"

Ayame laughed, " Are you meaning to tell me, that you don't have a crush on ol' sugar rush over there?"

Hinata blushed, "N-No…Naruto-kun and I are just friends…just friends…"

Ayame stared sadly at the girl, "…Hm, well…Just friends or not…You have a crush on him, no?" Hinata blushed deeper and Ayame took this as the answer. "I won't ask you any longer…Just keep in there." With this she went in the back of Ichiraku to continue her work.

Hinata sighed, Just friends…She then got up and hurried over to her training session.

Naruto banged on Tsunade's office door excitedly, "Open up Tsunade-obaa-chan!! I've got to ask you something really important!!"

Tsunade was asleep on a pile of 'work' and was suddenly awakened by the voice of Konoha's number one knuckleheaded ninja. She slammed on her desk and yelled, "It BETTER be important!! Because your little life depends on it, brat!!"

With this Naruto opened the door and ran through, "Tsunade-obaa-chan! I need to ask you a question dealing with chakra!!"

Tsunade clenched her fists."I thought I told you not to call me that…Anyways, what's your question with chakra?"

Naruto began, "Well, I was thinking…."

((Oooo cliffhanger.))

Hinata ran towards Kiba with another palm thrust, and just before she was about to hit him he swerved out of the way and caught her on the cheek with a slash.

When they landed on the ground Hinata quickly applied pressure on the scratch. "Oi, Hinata…You're really unfocused today…"

Nearby Kurenai nodded, "Kiba is right Hinata. Did anything happen today?"

Hinata shook her head, "No…I'm fine. Kiba-kun let's continue."

Kurenai shook her head, "No, that's fine for today…Plus, Hinata it seems you have a visitor."

Hinata looked at Kurenai confused. A visitor…? So she looked around and saw the familiar yellow spiky hair, and the gigantic grin in the distance. Hinata blushed at Kurenai's comment that Naruto was her visitor.

Naruto ran up to the group yelling, "Hinata! Hinata! Guess what??"

Hinata heard some snickering from Kiba in the background and frowned in irritation. "What is it Naruto-kun?"

"Tsunade-obaa-chan said the jutsu I was thinking about would work!"

Hinata smiled, "That's great Naruto-kun!"

Not sure she found the importance of this he frowned, "Not only is it great for me, but its great for you!!" He looked up at the sky, "Since it's getting late already…I'll tell you tomorrow!!"

Hinata blushed at this, "W-What do you mean…tomorrow?"

Naruto grinned, "Let me ask Kurenai-sensei something and I'll have it all worked out." With this he ran off to Kurenai.

Hinata waited there anxiously. What does he mean…?

After awhile Naruto came back even more excited, "It's all worked out Hinata!! You and I start private training together tomorrow to work on this jutsu! I already got permission from Kakashi-sensei so…"

Naruto's words began to fade away to Hinata as she began to go into deeper shades of red. She could've fainted right there but fought against it. P-Private training…with Naruto-kun…?

After Naruto stopped talking he waved his hand in front of Hinata, "Um…Hinata?"

Hinata was brought back to reality and managed to stutter, "That is amazing Naruto-kun!! I-I really…can't…wait."

Naruto blushed slightly at this response, "Well, I'll see you tomorrow I guess…"

Hinata, still at the deep tone she was at, nodded and smiled.

Naruto felt himself staring at her smile and quickly shook his head, "Um, Bye then!" And he ran off, more confused than he had ever felt before.

Hinata stood there waving, and whispered "Goodbye, Naruto-kun…Be safe." And she gathered her things and walked away. She caught up with Kiba after awhile and asked, "…What was up with the laughing…?"

Kiba snickered even more, "I just found it funny that he ran past all of us, and ran straight to you."

Hinata blushed and looked to the ground.

Kiba laughed, "Man, you two are meant for eachother." And he ran off.

Hinata felt her heart pound. No…we aren't…We can't be…Things never end like that…Do they?...No, don't get your hopes up…Just keep quiet for now. She sighed and hurried home and lay in her bed, waiting for the day to come.
