Why Do You Hide From Me?
The next few days seemed to pass by pretty slowly for Naruto, not to mention the fact that he hadn't seen Hinata much ever since their kiss.It was almost a week and a half to be exact. He lay in his bed wondering why Hinata lately had been, well, leaving him.
Did I do something wrong? It's been almost two weeks and everytime I go visit Hinata-chan at her house she's either not there or she says she's going to be busy today.I mean I understand right, she has a life...we all do but...And also...when I see her out she's always in a rush that by the time I catch up to her, she says that she's sorry and has to run...sigh...what do I do?...
After his thought, he looked over at the clock. 8:30 A.M. Looks like I gotta go get ready for another day.
He got up, went to the bathroom to wash-up, went back to his room to change, had breakfast and was out the door.
I haven't been training in a while...I should train and try to find Hinata-chan again today later...well, here I go...
-- -- -- -- -- --
"So he kissed you?!...Really?!...Tell me, you gotta tell me everything!" squeeled out Sakura as Hinata helped her place the stacks of paperwork on the Hokage's desk. Hinata turned completely red as she put them down and looked off to the side.
"Um, S-Sakura-san, we should really s-start p-planning out the p-party," Hinata stuttered out.
"But look at you..You can't even talk straight because you're still thinking about it. Never knew that dobe would actually get it done...but come on Hinata, you have to tell me,"said Sakura, even more eager to now.
"B-But..."
"Sigh...Fine you win...But, don't think you're off the hook, you're gonna tell me after we finish planning, got it?," said Sakura, her hands now on her hips.
Looks like I'm safe for now, but she's going to ask about the k-kiss later...But we have to start planning...
Hinata could only nod. Sakura just smiled and they both took a seat.
"So, where should we have the party, huh?," asked Sakura, with her elbows on the table.
"Um...well, I-I haven't really thought about it, but we need to have somewhere."
"Well, let's see...hm...Hey! How about his house, Hinata?"replied Sakura enthusiastically.
"N-Naruto-kun's house?...W-Well, we're going to have to h-have someone to take him out for the day so we can get r-ready,"Hinata said beginning to find the zipper of her jacket very intersting.
"Don't worry we'll find someone.Hey, how about your cousin to distract him for that day?"
"N-Neji-nii-san is always busy training with Tenten and he'll p-probably say no."
"Um...how about Shikamaru?"
"Um...I-I don' t think that would work either...once Shikamaru-san asked Naruto-kun to play Shouji with him and Naruto said that would be b-boring. Shikamaru-san said otherwise and convinced N-Naruto-kun...H-He almost died of boredom and f-frustration."
"'Giggle'Really?...that sounds like Naruto alright. So um, who can we count on?, Sakura asked.
"Um...how about K-Kiba-kun. I don't think he'll mind."
"Kiba? Sure that works, okay so now we have a place, we need a time."
"W-Well, we can start it at um...at 2:00?,"Hinata asked, almost insecure.
"Okay then, two it is.We can get to his house around noon to start getting everything ready, how's that sound?".
"S-Sounds great.Don't we need to tell everyone though?".
"Don't worry we will...Hm...let me see, how many days do we have left?"
"Um, t-three days."
"Really?...wow...time flies by fast. Okay, how about I tell Ino's team and you can tell your team and Neji's, because well, seeing as how you two live under the same roof, you see him more than we do."
"O-Okay I will. Um, should I buy the food now or n-no?"
"Um, how about we buy the food a day before and you can buy the decoarations today? Don't worry, me and Ino's team can take care of the food and your team can take care of the decorations.
"O-Okay but what about N-Neji-nii-san's team?"
"Neji's team?...Oh kinda forgot them, sorry um...hm...I don't really know."
"I-It's okay, we'll just l-let them be."
"Alright well, I guess planning for now is done.When you finish buying the decorations, leave them at your house and bring them to Naruto's house on Thursday."
She gave a small nod and was almost out the door when Sakura called to her."Hey! Where are you going? Don't forget you have to tell me about your kiss?"
Hinata turned completely red."U-Um, I'm sorry S-Sakura-san b-but I'm off to b-buy the decorations. T-Thank you for your h-help today."And with that, Hinata turned to face her quickly bowed and almost dashed out of the room from embarassment.
Hahaha...Naruto,you sure got yourself a nice girl that cares for you very much...now to find my master...
"-de-sama!...nade-sama!..."
"Hm?...Looks like Shizune-san is after master again..."
"Tsunade-sama! Please come back, you have paperwork to complete! Tsuande-sama!,"screamed Shizune running after the Godaime with Ton-ton in her arms."Buey, buey!"
"Argh!, I don't wanna do paperwork. I'm taking the day off-".
Sakura peeked in from the door.
VRROOOOMMM!!
Tsunade ran past Sakura in a flash.
"Tsunade-sama!".
"Buey, buey, buey!".
Sigh...looks like it's going to be a long day here...I'll go find Ino later...
-- -- -- -- -- --
Hinata stepped out of the Hokage Tower to find herself starting at another beautiful day in the Hidden Leaf Village.
I have to go find Kiba-kun and Shino-kun...I hope I don't run into Naruto-kun...here I go...
Hinata now made her way to her team's training grounds, hoping to explain the situation to her teammates.
-- -- -- -- -- --
"Now...Kage Bushin No Jutsu!!"
POOF...BRRRRINGG!...
Now fifty shadow clones covered the training grounds.
"Now listen up! Whoever is still standing at the end is the stronger me! Round 5 of training starts now! Ready and ...GO!," screamed out the real Naruto, and with that, the others began fighting.
-- -- -- -- -- --
"K-Kiba-kun! Sh-Shino-kun!,"called out Hinata, as both of their teammates turned around to face her. She quickly caught up to them and stopped to catch her breath.
"H-Hello Akamaru-kun,"she said as she patted his head, earning a small bark and tail wagging from the happy canine.
"Yo Hinata, what's the hurry? Do we have a mission or something?,"asked Kiba as he patted Akamaru's head.
Shino just looked at them from behind his dark sunglasses.
Hinata shook her head."N-No sorry...um...you see..."
Hinata explained everything to her teammates to begin shopping. "And that's um...b-basically it."
"Wait, I have to babysit Naruto on his birthday?!," Kiba shouted.
"Y-Yes, but just take him out of his house while everyone f-finshes the preparations."
"Fine," replied a rather annoyed Kiba.
"P-Please K-Kiba-kun."
He shot her a smile." Okay, Okay, I will."
"So our job is to buy decorations?,"asked Shino.
"Y-Yes."
"Then let's go. Hinata wants this perfect for her 'Naruto-kun'," Kiba said with a sly smile. Akamaru barked.
Hinata turned completly red. "K-Kiba-kun."
Kiba just laughed as Shino began walking to the shoppind district of Konoha." Let's go."
"R-Right." Hinata ran up a bit to catch up to Shino and Kiba followed.
Sigh..well...let's go, thought Kiba as he tried to catch up after them.
-- -- -- -- -- --
"Aah...finally finished. Once again I'm the stronger me! Hm...now what should I-"
GGRRRRROOOWLLLLL!!
Naruto slightly blushed and held his stomach.
Heh heh heh...looks like it's time for lunch. Ichiraku ramen time! And then take a shower and look for Hinata-chan...
And with that he made his way into town to his favorite ramen stand.
-- -- -- -- -- --
Meanwhile, Hinata's team was already in town walking torward the store for decorations.
"So that means we have to buy cups and plates too, right?," asked Kiba, with his hands behind his head. Akamaru next to him.
"I- s-suppose so. Sakura-san didn't mention that, b-but we can buy them anyway."
Shino once again remained silent.
They soon arrived to the store and bought what was needed.
"Thank you for shopping with us." And with that, Hinata and her team were out of the store and into town again.
-- -- -- -- -- --
Naruto had just entered town and was on the way to Ichiraku ramen and had made a left turn at a nearby bulding when something up ahead caught his attention."Hey!, Isn't that-"
-- -- -- -- -- --
"Okay, so now we have what we need. Where are we going to leave this stuff until Thursday?," asked Kiba as he carried his bag. Everyone was carrying their own brown paper bag. Even Akamaru had one but a pastic bag.
"Um...we c-can out it in my house and w-we can it up on the day."
"Well, I say you better come up with another excuse just for a while and quick,"said Shino with a low voice.
"Huh? Why's that Shino?," asked Kiba.
"Well, look who's ahead."
"Oh no, It's-"
-- -- -- -- -- --
"Hi Hinata-chan!," Naruto called out as he ran to up to her and her team.
"Oh no, It's Naruto," whispered Kiba before Naruto caught up to them.
"I'll try t-to take care of it," replied Hinata.
"Hinata-chan, Hinata-chan!," he jumped of joy as he gave her a kiss on her cheek.
"H-Hi Na-Naruto-kun,"she said as she began to blush.
"Oi, it's Kiba and Shino too," Naruto pointed out.
"It seems you only notice Hinata while the two of us are here right next to her," Shino pointed out after Naruto's discovery.
"Uh, heh heh heh, h-hey..." he responded as he scratched the back of his head.
"Heh, you're so stupid," Kiba said with a grin.
"Hey! Who you calling stupid, stupid?!," shot back Naruto.
"You, stupid!," Kiba shouted.
"N-Naruto-kun, K-Kiba-kun. Please d-don't fight,"Hinata said in a timid voice.
Naruto looked at Hinata. "But cutie, he started it!"
"Started it? Then don't be an idiot next time!," replied Kiba.
"K-Kiba-kun...please."
"Fine, Fine. I won't say anything more."
"Hey Hinata-chan, what are all the bags for? You guys go grocery shopping?,"he asked as he began to take a peek inside Hinata's bag.
Hinata quickly moved it away from him. Sorry Naruto-kun...
"Um...yes, we um went g-grocery shopping for K-Kurenai-Sensei," replied Hinata.
"Oh...ok. But why'd you move the bag away from me?," he asked a bit hurt.
Oh no... I made Naruto-kun feel bad...
"I-I'm sorry N-Naruto-kun, it's just t-that I-"
"We're in a hurry and well we need to get going," interupted Kiba, saving Hinata in some way. Shino nodded.
Hinata just looked at Kiba, mouthing him a 'thank you'.
Naruto just continued to look at Hinata not noticing the 'thank you' and just stood there. Kiba interrupted the silence.
"Look Naruto, sorry but we have to get going. We'll see you later!," he said as he began to walk away.
Naruto continued to look at Hinata. "I'm sorry N-Naruto-kun. I'll see you later,"she said as she began to run after Kiba. Shino just looked at Naruto and then followed his teammates.
After a good distance between them, he looked down at the ground and muttered a "Yeah...see you later."
Not being in the mood for ramen anymore, he slowly walked home to take a shower and call it a day.
-- -- -- -- -- --
"Phew, that was close."
"B-But K-Kiba-kun...I think I hurt N-Naruto-kun's feelings,"Hinata replied as she looked down at the ground, feeling bad.
"Well, we had to get out of it one way or another. Don't worry Hinata, I'll talk to 'em so he doesn't get so down."
"Arf!, "Akamaru added.
"Th-Thank you," she replied as they got closer to the Hyuuga compound.She was still feeling bad about it, but knew she couldn't be sad around her teammates.
-- -- -- -- -- --
Naruto was now at his house and had justfinished taking a shower and changing into a light green t-shirt with a orange swril along with dark green pants. He walked to his bed and threw himself on it, with his hands behind his head looking at the ceiling.
" 'Sigh'...Is she really bothered by the kiss?...The first time I saw her after the kiss she seemed fine and said she was okay with it after a few days...but today...she seemed like well...like she doesn't want me around or something...I don't know. What should I do? I love her, I don't want to leave her. Should I try to talk to her again?...Maybe she'll just try to run off on me again."
He lifted himself up to look to a picture frame to a drawer that was on his right. It was a picture of both of them at Tanzaku Town a few months back when it was him, Hinata, and Kiba on a mission. He reached for it and held it in his hands, looking at Hinata.
"Are...are you mad at me cutie?..."
He didn't know what to think anymore...almost two weeks and to him it seemed the situation got worse.
