Chapter 2: An Unexpected Visit

Suddenly, Naruto heard a rustling of leaves behind him. He turned around, quickly wiping the tears away. A young kunoichi with black hair and white eyes emerged timidly from the trees.

"Oh, it's just you, Hinata."

"Um…N-Naruto, why were you c-crying?" Hinata stuttered.

"I wasn't," Naruto said quickly.

Hinata pressed her fingers together awkwardly. "Um…N-Naruto? I…wanted to say…Happy Valentine's Day."

Naruto smiled at the girl in front of him. "Thanks, Hinata! Hey…will you be my valentine?" he asked, scratching the back of his head shyly.

Hinata looked surprised. "Of c-course, Naruto-kun!"

"That's great, Hinata…I'm glad you're my special person today."

Hinata blushed fiercely. "I'm g-glad you're mine t-too."

All of a sudden, Naruto drew Hinata to himself in a gentle hug. The Hyuga introvert was startled at first, but then returned the hug. "Thank you, Naruto," she murmured.

Naruto didn't answer out loud, but inwardly thanked her.

Thank you, Hinata, for making this the last year I must wait for my special person…
