Third Person POV
There she was, standing there next to Ino, both of them being crowded around numerous wedding dresses.
"How about this one Hinata?" Ino helds one infront of her.
"...It looks pretty..."
Come on Naruto! Just this chance! Dont ruin it! Naruto thought to himself. Taking a deep breath in confidence. He walked up to Hinata.
"Hinata-chan! Please! Dont marry him! T~T" He blurted. Staring at her with hopeless eyes.
.......
He went on his knees and hugged her legs. "PLEASE!! DONT LEAVE ME!"
"Naruto...Dumbass.." Ino slapped her forehead.
"N-Naruto-kun!"
"Hahaha! Just dont mind us!" Ino said nervously, waving her hands at the other costumers that was staring.
"PLEASE HINATA!! I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU!" His tears sank into Hinata's legs.
A cough interrupted his crying. Naruto paused, turned his head around and saw Neji.
He looked back at Ino. Giving her a I-thought-only-you-two-came look.
Ino shrugged back at him and replied with a didn't-know-Neji-came look.
"Please Naruto, let go of Hinata-sama." Neji said, sounding polite.
Naruto stood up, "but Neji! This is my only chance! Please!"
"....Naruto...Dont make me." Neji stood in his battle stance.
"Neji, I beg you. This is one of the only chances I'll get to talk to Hinata, and if I dont. She might live with her husband in some other land! And I'll never see her again....Even if I can't talk her out of the wedding..Please! Let me just talk to her for another few minutes! Please Neji! Dattebayo!" Naruto plead.
"........."
The Ichiraku boss placed a bowl of freshly made Ramen infront of Naruto. "Woah! What happened to you Naruto!?" He asked worriedly, seeing the bandages, burises and a strange herbal smell. Which he assumed it was medicine. Around him.
"...I...Kinda...Tripped over!" Naruto laughed nervously, scratching his head in embarassment.
"Ah! Welcome!" The chief greeted the new costomer that sat down.
He looked young, around 20-ish. Just like Naruto's age, "you okay?" He asked the blonde next to him who was slurping his Ramen.
"Yea! I'm fine dattebayo!"
"Oi boss, I'll have what this kid's having."
"Okay~! One miso Ramen coming up!"
After the Ramen was made, it was placed infront of the stranger. Both of them slurping and eating the Ramen. After they finished, they both held up their bowl and started drinking the soup. Finishing it with a sigh.
"Oi! Oji-san! Another bowl!" Naruto called out.
"Me too!" The stranger said.
And once again, they ate.
"Another bowl!"
"Same here!"
And again...
After so much bowls of Ramen being ordered, the author couldn't be bothered to type them up. So instead, this was typed...Though, with all the words and time typing this, the author could've typed up them ordering another couple of bowls.
Anyways, you get the point.
Both of them was stuffed up with Ramen. Giving each another a glance, they laughed. "You like Ramen too?" Naruto asked.
"Heck! I love it!"
"Same here dattebayo! I always come here!...Hey, I haven't seen you around in the village before."
"Oh, I just came into the village. I'm deciding to resident here."
"Really? You a Ninja?"
"Not really...I'm more of a...Merchant.."
"Nice to meet you! My name is Naruto!" He held out his hands.
"Daisuke." He shook his new friend's hand. "May I ask...Why are you...Beaten up?"
Naruto sighed. "Hm...Well...My girlfriend's gonna get married...And her cousin was really protective, I begged him giving me a chance to talk to her. But he wouldn't let me.."
"Whats your girlfriend's name?"
"Oi! Oji-san!! Bill!" Naruto called out, he came out. Along with his order, so both of them can caculate each of their costumer's bowl.
~*~*~*~
"Where is it?!" Naruto took off his jacket and shook it. Trying to find his lost wallet.
"What are you looking for Naruto-kun?" Their daughter asked.
"I'm looking for my money! Just wait a sec, I'll find i-"
"You dont need to pay Naruto, that man earlier who sat next to you already paid."
Naruto blinked a few times, "oh...Well...If you see him. Tell him I said thanks dattebayo!"
"ARHH!! NARUTO!" Ino screamed at the figure running towards her.
The figure? Human.
Occupation? Ninja.
Name? Naruto Uzumaki
Hobbies? Anything related to training or eating.
Two words to describe him now?
Muderous intention..
"ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Naruto shouted, pointing accusingly at her.
She crouched down and covered her head. "Yes yes!! I know! I'm sorry! But I really didn't know Neji was coming!"
"You could've TOLD ME!"
"I'm sorry Naruto!!! I'll make it up for you!"
Naruto sighed. "Okay, how?!"
A light bulb appeared above Ino's head. "You dont need to get Hinata back...What you need is to find someone else!"
"...Find someone else...?"
"Yea! Here, I even brought this book for you!..." Ino took out a book, the title read.
"The right one" by "Minako"
"It includes every profile of a girl within 100km. All you need to do is to answer these simple question. And you can see the results, if you contact the author about it. She'll even arrange a date!"
"....Hm..." Naruto thought.
"Okay, first question. Are you a male or female?.."
Naruto frowned.
Ino laughed nervously. "Male! Of course...Male.." She turned a page. "Okay, are you looking for a male or female?..."
"......"
She laughed again, "yes yes!! A female! Silly me.."
"Ino..Are you sure this is gonna wo-"
"Okay! Where would you chose for a first date? A. Restaurant. B. Beach. C. Hers or your place. D. Ramen shop.
"D." Obviously...
Ino turns a few page. "Okay, her main feature would be...A. Her body. B. Her eyes. C. Her face. Or D, her hair."
"....D"
"Your dream is to be...A. Rich. B. A leader or superior. C. A famous star. D. Other."
"Um....Hokage!"
"That should be....B." Ino muttered, then turning a few page. "Okay, what personality do you have? A. Quiet and mysterious. B. Shy. C. Outgoing, loving to meet new friends. Or D. Hyper and active."
"D!"
"Hm...The result page!" Ino turned a few page back, then paused when she saw the result.
"...So? Who did I get? Whats her name?" Naruto asked. Then tries to sneak a peak.
Ino shuts the book quickly. "Er...You got LOTS of results...So...You'll have to meet them in a blind date one by one!..And..You better get ready! Now go!" She pushes him to the direction of his house.
"But!...When is the date?" Naruto asked, getting pushed.
"Um...I'll tell you! Now go!" She gave him a last push and sended him jogging away.
"Yea, so what?"
"Dont you understand Minako!? We're trying to get Naruto to aviod Hinata, not get them on a blind date again!"
"...And?"
"But look! After Naruto took the quiz, his result is Hinata Hyuuga!"
"So?..."
"SO!?! I CAN'T LET THEM SEE EACH OTHER!"
"Then dont."
"BUT I PROMISE NARUTO THAT I WOULD MAKE IT UP TO HIM!"
"Then make it up to him."
"But to do that, I'll have to find him someone else."
"Then find someone else."
"BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOUR QUIZ RESULT ENDED UP AS HINATA!"
"....Why didn't you say so?"
Ino slapped her forehead in fustration, opening her eyes back to look at the author of the book. Minako, she had short hair tied up in a pony tail. Lots of bangs infront of her face, her eyes reminded Ino of the Akatsuki member Sasori, but it was dark blue.
"I'm asking, if you can help me arrange blind dates with Naruto who ISN'T Hinata!"
"Hm...Alright then...."
Naruto sat on his seat. Staring at the female who just spat something on the ground. Sniffing a bit, she grabbed her Sake and gulped.
Is this really my blind date...? Naruto thought.
"Eh? Naruto Uzumaki?" Her legs rested on the dinner table.
"Um...Yes...And your name is...?" He tried to sound as much polite as possible.
"Aiko..." She replied, then turned her head and started to shout loudly in the restaurant. "OI! CAN I GET SOME FUCKING SERVICE AROUND HERE?!"
~*~*~*~
Naruto took a seat infront of his second blind date. She didn't seem to bad, but she kept covering her head with her face. As if she was shy of something.
"Um...Hi, I'm Naruto." He introduced himself.
"I'm....Moriko.." Her voice didn't sound feminine at all. Infact, it sounded more of a man that Naruto.
"...Um...You dont have to cover your face..." Naruto said.
"Really?" Moriko lifted her face up. It nearly made Naruto fall off his seat. Her mouth was big, above it, was an unshaved mostache.
"Your...Your an Okama?!"
Note: Okama is male transvestite.
"HOW CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING TO A BEAUTIFUL LADY LIKE ME?!" Moriko jumped up, giving Naruto a slap...Which ended up more like a punch on the ground. Then left while walking angrily.
"...Her punches are worser than Sakura-chans.." Naruto said lying on the floor half unconcious, as frying sounds came from his bruised cheek.
~*~*~*~
Naruto took a seat infront of his third blind date, she didn't look to bad. Properly dressed and seemed quite lady like. Nothing like the first or second one. Naruto shivered at the thought of his second date again.
She giggled when she saw Naruto.
"Um..Hi.." Naruto greeted.
"...Hello..." She whispered.
"...My name is Naruto...Whats your name?.."
"Amaya..." She fluttered her lashes at him, then her feet started to scratch on his thigh. "Wow...Your so sexy...I love your eyes.." Amaya whispered.
"...." Naruto gulped a bit, this girl was slightly creeping him out. He tried to avoid his gaze at her, but then spotted Hinata in a purple dress. Talking with another man.
He stared at Hinata.
"Hey...Sweetie...Are you alright?" Amaya giggled.
"Er...I need to go to the bathroom.." Naruto made up an excuse, stood up and walked over to Hinata's table.
"But the bathrooms that way!" Naruto ignored her.
Hinata looked at the figure that was standing beside the table. "N-naruto! What are you doing here?!"
"Hinata! Is this the guy your gonna marry!?" Naruto pointed at the male. Looking at him, his eyes widen. "D-Daisuke?!"
"Hello Naruto, have you met Hinata yet?" He asked politely.
Naruto looked at Daisuke, then Hinata, then Daisuke and back to Hinata. His world started to spin around.
THE GUY WHO BROUGHT ME RAMEN IS THE SAME GUY WHO HINATA'S GONNA MARRY!?
"...Naruto? You okay?" Daisuke waved his hand infront of him.
"Daisuke-san...You know Naruto?.." Hinata asks.
"Yea, met him in the Ramen shop this afternoon...It looks like you know him?.."
Naruto snapped out. "Hinata!" He suddenly shouts.
"...Sorry, but I dont know you." She said. As something cracked.
"...Did you hear that?" Daisuke asked.
Naruto clenched his fist. For the first time, he felt mixed emotions in the same time. Anger, hate, betrayal, and sadness.
"Hinata! How can you say you dont know me?!"
"...I'm sorry Naruto..." Hinata said. "I...Need to use the bathroom." She stood up and ran inside the bathroom.
~*~*~*~
Bending over the sink, Hinata's make up started to smudge from her crying. It hurted her so much just to say those words.
Sorry. I dont know you. It flashbacked into her head continously, she felt like a murderer. With those words, it praticilly stabbed Naruto's hearts with a sharp dagger.
"Hey Hinata..." A hand was placed on her shoulders.
She turned around, "Ino?...What are you doing here?"
"Dont ask me, but why did you tell Naruto you dont know him!?"
"...I...I just...Wanted him to forget me...If he doesn't love me anymore...I thought-"
"Hinata...Its making him feel worser!" Ino told her.
"...I know Ino....But...It'll end up worse if we still have feelings. There's only 8 days till the wedding anyways.."
