Naruto was still carrying me it seems he lived on the floor right above mine. Which was the 3rd floor. "Naruto-kun if I'm to heavy I can walk the rest of the way." It was embarrassing having him carry me and know how much I weigh and not only that but he told me to lean forward so we wouldn't fall backwards. Meaning my chest was pushed tight against his back. I was pretty sure he could feel my heart beating."Don't sweat it hinata-chan your not heavy at all!"
He climbed the last 3 steps. Ok we were now officially done with the stairs. Now I could relax and stop leaning forward. He started walking faster now because the dog was dragging him slightly. "Wow akamaru calm down!" I guess his name was akamaru. But where had I heard that name before? When the dog suddenly stopped in front of a door which I guess lead into Naruto's apartment he started barking excitedly. The door suddenly open to a guy with brown hair and brown eyes opened it. "Ah akamaru there you are…you let him out again didn't you naruto?" He accused naruto it was more a statement than a question. He looked so familiar.
"Well you see about that…he he" He sheepishly rubbed his head while still holding unto me. He seemed to remember I was here. He walk through the door and went into the kitchen and placed me on the table. I didn't get a chance to really check out his apartment. "Ok Hinata-chan you stay here while I deal with Kiba."
'Kiba. Kiba.' *Gasp* I climbed off the table and limped towards the voices. I had finally remembered where I had knew him from. "So who was that chick you were carrying?" I was getting closer. "That was Hinata-chan." I turned the corner and I was right it was the same Kiba I had known as a kid but bigger. "Kiba. Kiba Inuzuka?"
He turned as soon as I said his name. He turned to look at me and when he saw my eyes he immediately knew who I was. I could tell because he ran towards me and picked me up in a bear hug. "Oh hinata I haven't seen you in forever." The last time I had seen him was 10 years ago. He was like the older brother I'd never had.
Naruto cleared his throat. "Not that I wanna kill this love fest but does someone wanna explain?" He sounded sort of jealous but I was probably just imaging things. "Kiba and me knew each other from when he used to live in Kyoto. I'd never imagine I'd see him again." The look on naruto said that he wanted more information than what I'd given but I didn't know what else he could want.
"We were the best of friends." Kiba emphasized the friends part but I didn't get why. But the look on Naruto's face looked pleased. Kiba told me that he lived down the street and that I could hang out and catch up anytime I wanted. I was so busy catching up with Kiba I had completely ignored the pain in my knee but now it was back.
Naruto must have noticed the look of pain on my face because he picked me up bridal style and took me back to the kitchen. "Now Hinata-chan stay here this time while I get the first aid kit." He gave me this fake stern face. I had to giggle at it.
He left the room and I decided to check out the pictures on his fridge. There was a picture of Kiba, him and a guy with dark hair and eyes who looked slightly annoyed with the fact naruto's arm was casually put around his shoulder. All three of them were wearing only swim trunks. The next picture was of sakura and the mystery guy who I guessed was her boyfriend Sasuke since she was hugging him and he didn't look annoyed but calm and at peace and had a smirk on his face. And the last picture was of Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke all smiling sakura and naruto smiling the biggest and sasuke with a real smile no smirk. "Ok hinata I got this wrap to keep your knee in place and I got this stuff to numb the pain." He lifted my pants leg up and saw scratches. He raised his eyebrow looking at me. "I had a cat."
He seemed satisfied by my answer and continued. He first applied some of that gunk to my knee I guess to numb the pain then he started wrapping it. When he was done I asked him how he knew how to do all this medical stuff. "Oh well when I moved here I got into a lot of fights and sakura-chan told me she wasn't gonna take care of me, I had to do it myself so she taught me some stuff so I could take care of myself." He gave a small smile at the memory. He stood up and picked me up again. He carried me to the living room. "Do you want me to take you home or do you wanna stay here and listen to music and get to know each other better?" I really had no reason to go back to my apartment it would just be a constant reminder of what had happened. "if you don't mind I would like to stay here."
"Yea! I knew you would pick me hinata-chan!" I blushed as he laughed and twirled me around while I was still in his arms. We were so close. I felt like fainting and I almost did but he stopped and put me on his couch " Do you want something to eat? I don't have much but I do have ramen!" I didn't want to make him feel bad for not having much so I agreed on the ramen. He told me to chose any CD I wanted an put it in his stereo. I didn't feel like going through the entire collection so I just chose the one on top. It was a mixed CD. The first song that came on was reverse this curse by escape the fate. ' I love this song!' I was happy that me and him had something in common.
I may not have looked like it but my favorite genre was rock. And one of my favorite groups was escape the fate. They spoke to my soul. Cliché I know but it was true. Naruto came back with two cups of ramen. He sat down next to me and handed me my cup.
"Hinata-Chan you don't have play this music just cause you think I like it. I think I-" "But I love escape the fate Naruto-kun." I interrupted him not on purpose my mouth had a mind of its own. He was staring at me like I head just grown a second head. His mouth was open and his eyes wide open. I had to laugh at his expression. He snapped out of his daze and sighed out of relief then he started smiling.
"Hinata-Chan I'm so glad you said that because I don't really have any music that isn't rock. You saved me a lot of trouble." We continued eating in silence while listening to various artist some that I knew and others that I didn't. I glanced over towards him a few times and I noticed something that I hadn't before. He was wearing a beautiful blue crystal. It looked expensive. He noticed I was staring at the necklace. "I won this in a bet. He he. It's nice isn't it. I don't take it off ever." I didn't question him anymore about it. We finished our ramens and I leaned back into the couch. 'so soft.'
"Hinata-Chan?" I mumbled a hmm?. "Can I just call you hinata because saying Hinata-Chan each time is a mouth full?" I blushed he wanted to call me by my first name only? I blushed at the thoughts people would have if they heard him call me that they would think we were dating or lovers. But did I really care what they thought? Not really. "Of course Naruto." This time I got to watch him blush. I smiled at how cute he looked. I suddenly felt a weight in my lap. I looked down and saw naruto staring up at me and smirking as he saw the blush its way to my face.
So I guess you could say were having a blush fight. Making each other blush and smirking. I put my hand on naruto's face stoking his whisker scars and watched him blush. This went on for several moments before he got up from my lap and grabbed my waist and pulled me down so I was laying on him. He casually laid his arm around my waist. I took this as a sign as time to sleep. Since the sun had long ago set. I reached up and turned off the lamp. Since it was a little cold in his room I cuddled up closer towards him. His grip on my waist tightened but not uncomfortably. My head was on his chest and his chin was on top of my head.
I kept thinking how I would have never have met naruto if my father hadn't kicked me out of the house. I would call him tomorrow.
Sorry its so short and I have no excuse for not making it longer. How will you ever forgive me. If it counts I started writing at 1:30 and its 5:22 now. I kept getting occupied and started watching videos and all kinds of stuff. I have a very short attention span. Not my fault.
