A/N: Yo! After a few days of hard work… I decided to take a break and jot down another chapter. JK, I put plenty of work into this. Second chapter of Take a Hint is here! …Well, technically the first since chap 1 was a prologue. Some humor, some romance, and some partial nudity! Yay! Please keep up the favs/follows, but especially the reviews, and let me know that people are enjoying this! Hopefully this fiction gets more attention than Hinata does from Naruto, lol. Enjoy!

"Speech"

'Thoughts'

'Kyuubi'

Naruto Uzumaki.

There was no mistaking it, that was Konoha's knuckleheaded ninja. No one else had that loud, carefree attitude that could grab your attention from miles away. Not to mention he was the only shinobi brave enough to wear his trademark try-and-kill-me-orange outfit.

"So then I jumped out and told 'em, 'Try and kill me!'" Naruto shouted to his companion, making exaggerated hand gestures.

Yes, that was Naruto. Suddenly, the village street expanded by 5 miles, and Hinata couldn't wait long enough for Naruto to casually make his way to her. She hadn't seen the blonde object of her fantasies in two years, she couldn't wait another minute.

The lavender eyed kunoichi took a closer look at Naruto, and what she saw was not at all what she had expected. Hinata had expected Naruto to have changed, but what she saw shocked and awed her. The once short jinchuuriki had shot up at least a foot. The trademark orange and blue outfit he used to wear was exchanged for one that replaced the blue with black. His glowing blonde locks had grown a little longer, though remained just as untamed and spiky. His cute, whiskered face had lost its goofy, childlike qualities. He now bore a chiselled jaw and cheeks, complimented by his sun-kissed skin, and a barely noticeable hint of blonde stubble where facial hair had once grown. However, he still wore that foxy grin when he was amused just like Hinata remembered, and still had those heart-melting deep blue eyes.

It was all too much for her. The Naruto of Hinata's fantasies couldn't compare to the real deal, if only Hinata had known how he had turned out earlier. She couldn't help herself and began undressing Naruto with her eyes.

"Hinata-sama, why is your byakugan active?" questioned Neji curiously after turning away from an interesting stand.

" …Wha…? Oh! I…I… hadn't noticed." Hinata responded lamely, de-activating her byakugan and looking down with a mixture of shame and disappointment. 'Damn, I was just about to get below his abs… mmm…'

Neji raised a brow suspiciously at this excuse, but was interrupted before he could question further.

"Hey! Neji! How've you been!" came a shout from down the street. Both Hinata and Neji turned to be greeted by the sight of Naruto not ten feet away from them, waving. The orange-clad shinobi jogged up to them with his wide grin, accompanied by Sakura.

"Naruto, is that you? Welcome back!" greeted Neji. A hint of a smile crept onto the ever stoic Hyuuga's face. "Did you just arrive back from your training with Jiraiya-sama?"

"Yeah, I just got back an hour ago! The old perv ditched me to go spy on the hot springs or somethin', and I met up with Sakura a while ago. She's been filling me in on everything that's been going on while I was gone. So I heard you're the only other one of the Konoha eleven who didn't become chuunin. I find that really surprising, but it's nice to know I'm not the only genin" Naruto chuckled.

"I'm afraid you still are. But don't worry Uzumaki, I'm in pretty much the same boat as you. Except I'm the only jonin" teased Neji, smirking superiorly.

"If you'd stop interrupting me, you'd know that" the pink-haired medic interjected, cross-armed.

Naruto merely smirked back. "That's too bad, I was really looking forward to kicking your butt again in the next chuunin exam."

"You so sure you can still beat me?"

"Believe it!" (A/N: sorry, it just slipped out)

After a short, tense pause, Neji chuckled silently. "I look forward to seeing what Jiraiya-sama has taught you. We must have a rematch sometime."

Naruto chuckled excitedly, then eased up his stance, glancing to Hinata quickly. "So Neji, who're you with? You get a girlfriend while I was gone?" teased Naruto with a Jiraiya-like grin. Hinata saddened upon hearing that her childhood love didn't remember her. Neji blushed lightly, but Sakura was the first to answer.

"Naruto you baka! That's Hinata, remember!" Sakura seethed, and conked Naruto on the top of the head.

"No way, Hinata? Wow, I totally didn't recognize you! You've really changed! You look good!" the whiskered ninja exclaimed happily. Hinata seemed to perk up a little at this and lifted her gaze from the ground.

"R-really?" Hinata asked. 'Where did that stutter come from! I thought I fixed that!' Apparently Naruto could still bring out her old habits. Fortunately, she didn't feel the urge to faint, and her blush was very slight, so she took it as a victory.

"Yeah! You look… nice with long hair." Naruto said, glancing away for a quick second. Hinata could've sworn he was blushing slightly too. "I was just about to go and make sure Ichiraku's didn't go out of business without me, you guys wanna come?"

Hinata opened her mouth to accept the offer, but before she could Neji spoke. "I am sorry, Naruto, but Hinata and I must attend a clan meeting today and should be going." Hinata glared at Neji. Neji saw this and gave her a stern look back. Hinata sighed defeatedly and agreed.

"That's too bad, maybe we can get together another time." Hinata nodded and gave a small smile before leaving with her cousin. She burned holes in the back of his shirt with her glare the entire walk to Hyuuga compound. Hinata knew it wasn't his fault she was busy, but she sure as hell wouldn't have minded being late for the meeting if it meant being with Naruto-kun for the first time in two years! What's even worse, they left him alone with Sakura! To get lunch! It was practically a date, and she was just letting it happen! Hinata really needed to go home and… relieve some stress.

The next day, Hinata began searching for Naruto, hoping he wouldn't be busy since he had just arrived back in the village the previous day. This hope was crushed, however, when she found out that he and the remnants of team 7 were meeting to test their teamwork. So basically, Naruto was spending more time with his old crush, Sakura. Hinata just hoped Naruto did not still have feelings for her.

Hinata shoved her worries aside for a while after she ran into Ino and Tenten. They had been on their way to their favourite café, and Hinata gladly joined them. After they were seated and ordered their food, the conversation quickly became focused on the return of Konoha's knucklehead ninja.

"Did you see him too Hinata?" Ino queried.

"Yes. We saw each other in the market yesterday, but I had to leave before I could really talk to him much."

"Yeah, same" responded Tenten.

"Did you see him though? Who would've thought Naruto would've gotten so tall!" Ino practically shouted.

"I know! When you think about it, Naruto actually turned out kinda… hot." Tenten admitted.

Ino crossed her arms and looks away hesistantly. "…I guess… a little…" the blonde kunoichi mumbled, reluctant to admit that Naruto had actually become quite a looker. "…I mean, he does have that nice hair…" Ino began playing with her own.

"And those dreamy eyes," Tenten stated, gazing deeply into nothing.

"And those hard abs," mused Hinata, seemingly lost in her thoughts. The other two kunoichi whipped their heads to her with a look of surprise on their faces. Though Hinata may not be as socially terrified as she was when she was younger, she was most definitely not the most outspoken girl, especially when it came to boy talk. Ino and Tenten's expressions twisted into twin evil grins.

"How'd ya get a peek at his muscles, Hinata-chan?" Tenten questioned knowingly.

"Um… I… w-well…." Hinata stammered, thinking back to her byakugan abuse the previous day.

"Maybe she just asked nicely and he took off his shirt for her" Ino teased, donning a mock innocent look with puppy-dog eyes.

"Perhaps she followed him home and watched him change" suggested Tenten, imitating a stalker and slowly creeping towards Hinata.

"Or maybe Hinata was being a naughty little Hyuuga and misused her kekkei genkai~" Ino sang mockingly. Hinata was beet red and just tried to look away from her two teasing friends, who immediately surrounded her as closely as possible.

"So… did you happen to see… anything else…? Come on, you can tell us! We won't let Naruto know, come on!" begged Tenten.

"I didn't see anything else! I just looked at his upper body I swear!"

"Well, how was it?"

"It… well, uh… Naruto-kun is… very strong." Hinata finally answered, drooling slightly.

"He'd have to be, to carry around that huge package." Hinata's head turned to Ino so fast it broke the wind. "I mean, did you see the size of it! I don't think I could have wrapped my arms around it! It must weigh a tonne! Who do you think he gave it to? Or maybe he's keeping it to himself..." By the time the blonde kunoichi had stopped, Hinata's nose was releasing a life-threatening amount of blood, and her imagination was running so wild, one could actually see Hinata's thoughts if they looked closely enough inside her ear.

"I heard Naruto's sensei made him deliver a shipment of his newest novel to all the Konoha book stores so he could start 'researching' for the next one, whatever that means" Tenten clarified for Ino. At this, Hinata's mind slowly returned to reality.

"Ohhh, that explains why he seemed so irked" Ino observed.

"Yeah, it was a dick move. Can you imagine spending two years alone with that guy? I don't know how Naruto could stand it." Ino and Hinata nodded in agreement.

"He probably stayed for the sights" Ino stated suggestively, a hint of disgust evident in her tone.

"I suppose it would be nice, to see so many different lands and villages. I wouldn't mind travelling a bit too, I've always wan-"

"I didn't mean those sights," Ino interrupted Hinata mid-sentence, "Naruto calls him ero-sennin for a reason you know." Ah yes, how could Hinata forget Naruto's favourite name for his sensei. But what was Ino getting at? "I'm sure the old lecher probably dragged Naruto to a lot of strip clubs and brothels while they weren't training."

"That can't be true. Naruto-kun was only twelve when he left with Jiraiya-sama! What kind of a man would bring a twelve-year-old to such a place!" Hinata rebuttled.

"You have no idea how bad this guy is Hinata! Remember our first chuunin exams? After the preliminaries were over, I went to the hot springs to try to relax. All of a sudden I heard this giggling coming from behind me, I turned around to see what it was and I saw that old bastard sitting on a tree branch just above the wall! When I screamed at him to get the fuck out, he just stared at me! And he was so not making eye contact, if you know what I mean." All three girls shuddered at Ino's tale.

Across Konoha

Jiraiya suddenly let out a large sneeze. It was immediately drowned out by the shrieks of a dozen terrified and enraged bathing women.

Back at the café

Hinata recomposed herself after the urge to vomit left her. "Still, Naruto-kun would never do anything so indecent with other women." This was something Hinata could not accept. She was saving herself for her love, and she had hoped that she would be his first too. But then again, two years with the infamous 'ero-sennin' was a long time…

"Come on, Hinata! You know how men are, and he's been privately taught by the worst of them all! I'm sure even he ha-" Ino froze, as if something had just clicked. She looked towards Tenten, who was doing the same. They both turned back to face Hinata with unnerving grins stretched across their faces.

"What do you mean other women, eh Hinata?" Tenten questioned teasingly.

Hinata immediately realized the mistake she made. "N-no! That's not what I meant! I-"

"What are you saying Hinata? Are you saying he would – or perhaps, you would want him to be pervy with our sweet, blushing little heiress?" Ino leaned closer to Hinata, as did Tenten. Both were giggling uncontrollably at the sight of the lavender eyed Hyuuga blushing and stuttering like she used too back in their academy days.

"I… ano.. W-well, I m-mean… T-that's not…" Hinata fumbled around for a lie, too embarrassed to admit her lust for the blonde. Her crush on Naruto was common knowledge – she had recently even found out some of her old academy classmates would actually henge into Naruto while he was away to get her to faint and take her lunch or copy her homework – but she was mortified at the thought of anyone knowing about all the graphic daydreams she had of the blonde, lest they think of her as a slut.

After a couple minutes of Hinata's fruitless stuttering around for an appropriate answer, Ino finally stopped her. "Geez Hinata, you must really still have it bad for him," Ino started, chuckling with Tenten, "I haven't heard you stutter like that in over a year!"

"Y-yes" Hinata answered as her face slowly returned to a more natural colour, thanking Kami they had changed the subject.

"Are you ever gonna make a move on that lughead? However much he's grown up, I'm sure he's just as dense as before, so don't expect him to just show up at your door with roses to ask you out!" Tenten said, making a good point. Hinata looked down for a moment, as if uncertain, but then looked up. Hinata's eyes gleamed a burning determination in them as she spoke.

"I will make Naruto-kun notice me this time. There's nothing I want more than to be with him, I'd do anything to have him feel the same way for me as I do for him." Hinata finished her little speech with a deep sigh laced with longing. Ino and Tenten just smiled at her, proud of her newfound resolve.

"So you want him to notice you, eh? I think I know how to do just that…" Ino offered a bit too enthusiastically.

"Oh no…" muttered Tenten.

"How?" Hinata stared at Ino, her eyes pleading for an answer.

"The first thing you need – is a new outfit! Get rid of that baggy old jacket! Naruto's never gonna pay attention to you if you don't give him something to look at!" Ino winked at Hinata, who looked away with a light blush. "You know what this calls for… MALL DAY!" Ino raised her hands, shaking and sqealing like a giddy child. Hinata and Tenten winced in pain as they covered their ears.

"Not again…." groaned Tenten weakly. She and Hinata were immediately grabbed by their shirts and dragged towards the shopping district by a gleeful blonde kunoichi.

The day's first rays of sun shone through the windows of the Hyuuga compound. Hinata opened her eyes, squinting from the brightness. She sat up and got out of her bed, walking lazily over to her closet. Sliding open the door, she gazed at the rows of new clothes she had bought the previous days. They were more… revealing than she was used to wearing, but Ino had convinced her to buy them.

The heiress went through her new outfits, deciding on which to wear. She settled on a tight lavender tube top and a white mini-skirt. Hinata looked at her reflection in the mirror, uncertainty evident. However, she pushed her doubts aside with one deep breath and walked downstairs for breakfast.

It was a bit past noon, and Konoha's food district was bustling with hungry villagers and shinobi alike looking to get some lunch. Hinata chose this time to search for her hyperactive crush because it would be the easiest time to track him down. She knew exactly where he would be – Ichiraku's Ramen.

Hinata made her way to the ramen stand, and was not disappointed when she saw an orange figure sitting in the third chair from the left. Hinata had to pause for a minute to calm herself down.

'It's ok, this is what you've been waiting for. Time to get Naruto-kun to notice me.' She gave herself a mental peptalk, but doubts clouded her mind. 'I did this all for him. I became stronger, I became more confident, I even bought these clothes. Now I just have to show him what I've become, tell him how I feel, and hope he feels the same. But… What if he doesn't? What if… I'm still not good enough? What if I start stuttering again! Or worse, faint! Maybe I should just try this another day… NO! I don't give up, and I don't go back on my word! That is my nindo! I'm going to go there and talk to Naruto-kun!'

She was as prepared for this as she was ever going to be, she had convinced herself. Hinata took slow, yet unhesitant steps towards the stand. The blue-haired Hyuuga was now close enough to hear her love's voice. 'Just a few more steps…' she coaxed herself. It was very discouraging to know just how nervous the blonde could still make her. What good was all the courage in the world if it dissolved whenever she was around the one person she wanted the courage to talk to?

Hinata shoved her thoughts aside as she reached the restaurant, and took the seat next to Naruto. "Hello, Naruto-kun. Mind if I sit here?" 'Yes! No stuttering!'

Naruto immediately recognized the voice. His face broke into a wide smile as he began to turn to face Hinata. "Sure, no problem! How's it going Hin –" Naruto fell silent, mouth still hanging agape. When he had turned to face Hinata, he was greeted by a very unexpected, but welcome sight. Instead of seeing the kunoichi in her usual attire, she was wearing an outfit only his sensei knew the right words to describe. If Naruto had to say what he thought of the outfit, the only word that would come to his mind would be – '…hot…'

He couldn't help but let his eyes roam up and down the form of the usually modest heiress. He had never seen so much of her figure, as it was usually buried underneath a baggy jacket. Naruto had no idea Hinata looked so… hot. Her top hugged her skin tightly, so even the parts that it covered were well defined, not that much of her was. He followed her milky skin, from her shoulders, to the generous portion of cleavage visible, to the uncovered portion of her flat, toned stomach. The miniskirt didn't do much of a better job covering Hinata's hot body. It cut off mid-thigh, allowing Naruto to see most of her leg, down to her sandals. The sight was just so… hot.

As Naruto took in seeing so much of Hinata's body, Hinata started to get uneasy under his gaze. 'He hasn't said anything for the last few mintes. He just keeps… staring. What is he thinking? Does he think I look attractive? Does he think I look like… a… a slut?' "It's going g-good, H-how about you, N-Naruto-kun?" Hinata answered his unfinished question to break the awkward silence. Hinata couldn't help but stutter under the intensity of his gaze.

Naruto snapped out of his daze, shaking his head in an attempt to divert his attention away from her hot body.'I really need a larger vocabulary, just so I can say how hot Hinata is. No! This is Hinata, stop ogling her! Goddammit ero-sennin!' "I – uh – doin' good." He blushed as he spoke. 'Smooth' he mentally berated himself.

Hinata, getting bold and curious, decided to ask Naruto the question that was eating her inside. "How do you like my new clothes, Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked with her hands behind her back, staring bashfully into endlessly blue eyes.

"They… uh… They look really…" Naruto searched for an appropriate response while mentally chanting 'Don't say hot, don't say hot, don't say hot…' "… don't say hot…" '*mental sarcastic clap*'

'Did he mean to say that out loud?' Hinata watched the flustered jinchuuriki in front of her, and a small smile graced her lips. 'Looks like Ino's idea is working' thought Hinata.

"I mean… it looks – uh… w-w-well – "

"Oi! Naruto, who's your pretty friend here?" Teuchi asked, Naruto never more glad to be interrupted.

"Oh, this is Hinata Hyuuga."

"Hello Hinata, it's a pleasure to meet you. What'll you have?"

"I'll have a beef ramen please."

"Coming right up." As the chef starts to walk towards the back of the restaurant, he gives a sly grin to Naruto. "Only back for three days and you already got yourself a girlfriend eh?"

Naruto blushes and waves his hands in front of his face in a panic. "No, no! It's not like that! Me and Hinata are just friends!" Hinata looked a little disheartened by this proclamation, but only for a second.

"Too bad, she seems like quite a catch." Teuchi teased. This time Hinata blushed. While the two teens awaited their meal, Hinata decided to ask Naruto about his trip, as she had been quite curious. A few bowls of ramen and a couple of stories later, Hinata had come to two realizations. The first was that Jiraiya-sama really is that perverted. It seemed whenever Naruto could have used some help, he always seemed to either be at a hot spring or a brothel (with Naruto's wallet). The second was that, where the whiskered teen was concerned, she wasn't much better.

The entire lunch, Hinata could not take her eyes off the boy. It amazed her how he could look so much better after only two years, and he was pretty cute to begin with. To Hinata, Naruto just oozed temptation and sex appeal. His voice was deeper and masculine, his body was tall and well-built from his training. Thank Kami Naruto likes to ramble, because if Hinata had to talk half as much as he did she was afraid nothing but drool would come out. However she was grateful every once in a while when the blonde would ask her for her opinion, because that meant she would get a glance of those lustrous sapphire orbs gazing at her curiously. It made her heart melt. She had noticed Naruto giving her a few shy glances himself when he thought she wasn't looking, and it made her confidence boost to near narcissistic levels. When the Uzumaki was slurping up the last of his ramen, Hinata was entranced by a drop of broth that fell upon his soft, wet lips and trickled down to his chiselled jaw. The lavender eyed girl wished so bad she could just lick it off for him, and savour the taste… and she wasn't talking about the ramen. She unconsciously leaned in closer in her daze.

Naruto noticed this, and spoke up. "Is there something wrong, Hinata?"

Hinata realized what she had been doing and snapped back. "No, Naruto. There is just something I… wanted to tell you…" Hinata responded, fear welling up inside her.

"What is it?"

"Ano… It is j-just that… I-I really… like Ichiraku's Ramen!" Hinata ended in a rushed panic. This was not what she had meant to say, but she couldn't bring herself to confess to her love. 'I'll just have to try to get him to go out with me without admitting my feelings, I still cannot bring myself to do it. Perhaps if I spend some more time with him and give him some hints, he'll catch on.'

"Me too! Maybe we'll start seeing each other more often then." Naruto exclaimed cluelessly. "But right now, I gotta go to training. You're welcome to come if you want."

"I have the day off, so sure." Hinata played it off coolly, but inside her mind she was ecstatic. 'It's not a date, but Naruto-kun asked me to spend time with him! Does he enjoy spending time with me, or is he just being polite?'

The two paid their bills and walked off towards the training grounds.

After making it to the training ground, Naruto and Hinata met up with Sakura and they sat under a tree, waiting for their eternally late sensei. The Hyuuga secretly observed the orange-clad shinobi to see how he was reacting towards Sakura. When they spoke, Naruto just seemed more friendly than anything, and he hadn't asked her out yet. Hinata took this as a good sign, hoping Naruto had outgrown his old crush.

When Kakashi finally arrived, he was not alone. Accompanying him were the other three jonin senseis, who had apparently all given their students the day off and were curious to see how strong the legendary sennin had trained Naruto to be.

When Kurenai saw how her student was dressed, she was surprised to say the least, but she quickly realized why Hinata had done this, and gave her a wink when they looked at each other.

After noticing Hinata's presence, Kakashi decided to have Naruto spar with her first, as he had already seen him fight Sakura. The copycat ninja told them to warm up with hand to hand combat, and no jutsus. This came much to Hinata's dismay, as it meant she could not activate her byakugan to… erm… size up her opponent. It was probably for the best though – if she had an army of Naruto's signature shadow clones rushing her with her kekkei genkai active, she might get a sight that would cause her to faint and never wake up.

Naruto and Hinata got into their fighting stances, and charged each other at Kakashi's signal. After the fight had begun, Hinata realized she was not at all dressed for training.

Her sandals were not built for comfort, making her movements slower and more awkward. She was also in a lot of discomfort due to her currently unrestrained assets bouncing around perpetually. '"Don't wear a bra" she said. "Men like it when they jiggle" she said. Last time I listen to Ino.' With every leap, dodge, lunge, and turn, she could feel the inertia acting on her large rack trying to pull her back the other way. This did not go unnoticed, as Naruto quickly shifted onto the defensive, unable to focus on hitting his target.

Hinata came in with a kick. As she did, Naruto all but froze like a deer caught in the headlights, and the kick landed. 'Now's my chance to impress Naruto-kun' the blue-haired kunoichi told herself, determined to show Naruto how strong she had become while he was gone. Hinata sent a flurry of blows to the blonde, all only to be dodged or blocked. She then got down and performed a sweeping kick, which Naruto merely jumped over. As Naruto flipped over her, Hinata turned and landed another unopposed kick to his side as he was landing.

Hinata was beginning to wonder why it seemed so easy to land a hit against Naruto, especially when she came in with a kick. Then she noticed that not only Naruto, but everyone watching the spar stopped and stared whenever she began one of her kicks. That's when she realized – she was in a mini skirt – everyone at the training ground was getting a clear look at her panties each time she raised her leg! Kurenai was covering her eyes in embarrassement, Asuma just went wide eyed, Gai was closing his eyes mumbling something about youth, and Kakashing was leaning in closer unblinking.

Hinata stopped and held down her skirt tightly, covering her unmentionables in shame. However, this caused the hit that Naruto had lined up to hit, though a bit off-target. Immediately after Hinata recovered, everyone froze as if time itself had stopped. Afternoticing, she looked confusedly at Naruto, who then blushed like a tomato and looked away. Hinata was about to ask what was wrong, but before she could, she got her answer in the form of Naruto blindly pointing down at her. The heiress looked down to see what the problem was, and was instantly mortified at what she saw. Her top had put up a noble fight, but ultimately failed to contain her plump assets, as her left breast had burst out of her shirt.

The reactions of the senseis varied across the board. Kurenai had gasped and was currently gaping in shock. Asuma's cigarette fell out of his mouth, smudging ashes on his shoes. Gai was covering his eyes, shaking spastically and chanting aloud "Think youthful thoughts! Think youthful thougts!" Kakashi had his sharingan eye uncovered, and both were wide as he leaned in to the point of nearly falling over. Jiraiya was attempting not to let the blood gushing from his nose stain his notepad as his pencil danced swiftly across it.

Kakashi heard the scratching noise of Jiraiya's pencil, turned around and fell over comically. He immediately got back up, not averting his eyes from the sight before him a second time. "Jiraiya, what are you doing here?"

"Research" Jiraiya responded in an elated, pervy tone.

"Well you arrived at the perfect time."

"Not soon enough, I missed the whole panty show."

"How did you know about that?"

"Same way I always do. Sage mode. The nature chakra lets you sense everything" Jiraiya clarified matter-of-factly.

"Glad the only person entrusted with such a legendary and powerful jutsu is putting it to good use" the cycloptic jonin said sincerely.

It was too much for Hinata to take. Suppressing the urge to faint, she swiftly stuffed her protruding breast back into its confines, and ran away in sheer panic and embarrassment.

This day had not gone as she had hoped at all.

And that's the first (second?) chapter! What's gonna happen next time? How far will Hinata go to get the attention of her love? Will Icha Icha Shippuden be a best seller? Will Kakashi ever avenge the death of his father? All this, except for the last two coming up soon!

But seriously, hope you enjoy, it's been interesting as a newb to writing fanfiction seeing just where the story takes me. Sometimes it goes exactly like I planned, other times it just sorta unfolds as you write, it feels almost like the characters are alive in a universe within my own mind… Or maybe I'm just going insane. (If you knew me, you'd probly guess the second one)

Anyways, I got a lot of the next chapter planned out in my head, just need to actually write it and fill a few gaps, hopefully it'll be up within a week like this one. Until then – FAV, FOLLOW, REVIEW, TWERK!
