I do not own Naruto or the chracters. If I did, my friend would of forced me into violently killing Sasuke and other certain people. ( She hates Sasuke a lot...)

I awoke to a sunny morning. I got up and looked out the window, where I had a view of Konoha. Beautiful Konoha. I went downstairs ,where the air was filled with a delicious scent. My butler, Asuma, was flipping pancakes and making french toast in the kitchen.

" G-good morning Asuma-san. Where did chef-san go? "
" He went to the store."

" Ok. Did Naruto-kun wake up yet? "

" No, come to think of it. He's still in his room. "

" Oh. I should go get him then. "

-At Naruto's room-

When I got into his room, he was asleep.

"He's so cute when he sleeps. Wait a minute...what am I saying?" I asked myself.

Inner Hinata: You'll figure it out very soon.

Me: Why not tell me now?

Inner Hina: I want ya to figure it out yourself.

Me: You're mean! *pouts*

Inner Hinata: Hey it wouldn't be fun if I told you.

Me: Maybe I should go now...

I was about to exit the room, when his crystal eyes slowly opened.

" Oh crap! Stupid squeaky floors! "

" Good morning, Hinata-chan. "

" O-oh G-good morning, Naruto-kun. "

" So, what do you wanna do today? "

" A-ano, I d-don't know. "

" Can I ask you something? "

" S-sure. W-what is it? "

" Are you going to the lantern festival in Konoha tomorrow? "

" W-well...t-to tell you the t-truth, I f-forgot that it was t-tomorrow. "

" Would you like to come with me? "

" I-I g-guess it w-wouldn't hurt. "

An excited smile grew on his face. He grabbed my hand and dragged me downstairs to eat breakfast. After we finished, Naruto and I headed to village to visit our friends. When we arrived, everyone was busy talking about the lantern festival. Sakura dragged me over to where she and the others were while Naruto walked over to where his friends, Shikamaru, Sasuke, Shino, Kiba and Chouji, were standing.

-Girls' conversation-

" Alright girls! Since tomorrow is the lantern festival, we should all go shopping for something to wear! " Ino announced to her fellow kunoichis.

" Everyone meet up at the Hokage's tower in 2 hours! " Sakura declared.

Everyone else shook their heads.

-Boys' conversation-

" Alright! Our mission is to find something suitable to wear for the festival. Dattebayo! " Naruto shouted.

" Quiet down, dobe. " Sasuke stated calmy.

" How troublesome. " Shikamaru muttered.

" Shikamaru, lighten up! You can either enjoy the festival or get wacked in the head again. " Naruto said, smirking.

Shikamaru didn't want to go to the festival but, Temari, his girlfriend, had the temper of a raging bull.

" Damnit. Temari is going to kill me! She's been looking forward to spending time with me at the festival since I've working for the Hokage most of the time. If I don't go or at least try to enjoy it, I might end up in the hospital AGAIN. " he thought.

He just sighed and reluctantly said " Fine. "

After the meeting, everyone scattered.

Some time later...

-At the castle-

I got a message from Sakura telling her to come to their meeting place. I hurriedly rushed to my room, grabbed my handbag , and ran into the carriage with Naruto.

-At Konoha-

As the kunoichi were walking, the displays in a store caught their attention. " Let's go in this store. " Ino suggested.

There were many elegant kimonos. Temari tried on a scarlet red kimono with orange koi fish. Tenten donned on a sapphire blue kimono with white cloud patterns. Sakura put on a light pink kimono with cherry blossoms. Ino tried on a yellow kimono with golden sunflowers. Matsuri wore an emerald kimono with gold dragons. Last of all, I wore a violet kimono with lavender leaves. The girls looked at each in amazement.

Meanwhile...

The boys bought their kimonos at a random men's clothing store. Shikamaru bought a forest brown kimono. Lee bought a green kimono. Shino bought a light brown kimono. Kiba bought a navy blue kimono. Kankuro wore his usual attire. Gaara bought a red kimono. Naruto bought an orange kimono.

After that, we all went home. The streets of Konoha have been decorated in preparation for the festival.

" I wonder what awaits us tomorrow..." I said out loud.

" Hopefully, only happy memories and having fun! " Naruto exclaimed, winking.
