Hey! Kiwiman has a beta now!! It's scarlet-petals, but you can call me Kitty-chan!!!
Chapter 1: The Sleepover
SMASH! Naruto's head went crashing through the Godaime's office wall.
Rubbing the back of his head, Naruto said, no wait, whined:
"Baa-chaaaaaaaan, why did ya dooooooo thaaaaaaaaat?"
Tsunade held up a finger, the nail painted a deep shade of blue."1. Because you woke me up so early, and 2. BECAUSE YOU CALLED ME GRANNY!!!!!" Tsunade yelled in the boy's face.
"Well, I'm back,"Naruto said hopefully in a feeble voice and offered a weak smile. But anyone who knew Tsunade would know that once the woman got started, she wasn't going to stop.
"You expecting a pat on the head or somthing? I DON'T CARE! And why were you sleeping in my office?" Tsunade barked, eyeing the sleeping bag and toiletries. The word "Rodent" fluttered across her thought pattern but was quickly brushed away.
"You see, my house has been burned down, and I need a new one." Naruto said, his tone blank, as if he really didn't give half a crap about the old place.
She shut her eyes and massaged her temples, children..."Ugh, more paper work." She turned back around and headed to her desk, looking for her bottle of...uh, water. Yeah, that's right, water. "If I'm goingto be spending money on you to buy an appartment, I might as well buy a nice one..." She said with a sigh.
"That's awsome, Baa-chan!" Some how the boy had gotten up and made his wat to Tsunade's side in 1.43 seconds flat. "You're the--
"With one condition." She cut him off.
"Huh?! But Baa-chan, that's not fair!"
She flipped a golden pony-tail over her shoulder, "Listen, do you want the appartment or not?" She snapped, a bit harsher than intended.
Naruto bowed his head meekly, showing submission,"You must have a sleepover with one person for 2 months.," Tsunade said to Naruto, smiling on the inside.
"BAA-CHAAAAN!? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?" Naruto started pleading once again.
"I wanna see what happens," Tsunade said, shrugging and taking a long swig from her "Water Bottle of Hokage-ness"
"Hn," Naruto said, quoting Sasuke. Her crossed his arms over his chest, but did not argue further.
"Goodbye!" Tsunade waved to him energetically, the drink finally starting to work it's magic.
"Dattebayo," Naruto mumbled to Tsunade while waving goodbye.
Later that Same Morning:
"OH MY GOD, WHAT AN AWESOME APARTMENT!!" Naruto bellowed. He was checking out the inside of his new apartment, and, apparently, loved it.
When he first saw the gaint lounge, his eyes nearly fell out of his head, what with the pure white carpet, velvet funiture and, the most important thing of all, to Naruto at least, a perfectly functuning kitchen! Look, you can even cook instant noodles in the microwave!
'Now all I need is someone to stay over for 2 months,' Naruto thought. He eventually decided that he should mozy around Konahaand ask the rest of the Rookie 9 and see if they wanted to stay over. The responses were as follows:
Sasuke:"Sleepover? How immature." (Gay little hair flip)
Sakura:"Yes, if my Sasuke-kun is there." (Googly eyes)
Kiba:"I bet akamaru's piss smell better than you're apartment." (You've sniffed your dog's pee...?)
Ino:"Yes, if my Sasuke-kun is there." (Drools a little)
Shikimaru:"Too troublesome." (He's just lazy)
Choji:"I'll be too busy snacking." (fat ass)
Shino:"No." (Freakish glare)
Hinata:*faints* (Pokes with a sick)
Fortunately, Naruto took that faint as a 'yes' and scooped the blue haired girl off the ground. I'll go pack her a bag of clothes later...
Naruto blushed at the thougt of rummaging through the girl's underware.
A Few Hours Later:
"Eep!" Hinata squeaked, finding herself in a house(manner)she did not know of. Finding yourself in an unknown house(manner) may scare the shit out of some people.
"What's wrong Hinata-chan. Why did you -ahem-'Eep'?"Naruto popped into the room with a worried expression.
"I-i-i-s th-th-th-is y-y-you're ap-p-partment?" Hinata asked, inwardly cursing her stuttering.
"Yeah, and you're staying here for 2 months, you know, what you agreed to this afternoon?" Naruto explained.
"..." Hinata said nothing.
"Time for bed, after all, it is 2:00 in the morning," Naruto said, looking at his watch,"You'll be sleeping in my bed while I sleep on the floor. We'll be doing this until you leave." With that, Hinata fainted again.
"I guess it was too much in one day," Naruto said while picking Hinata up bridal style and laying her on his bed.
"Good night," Naruto pulling the blankets over her slender form.
4:00 on the morning:
"Man am I hungry." Naruto patted his stomach, "Time for a little ramen,".
Getting up and sneaking into the kitchen, all the while trying not to wake Hinata, he got's out his instant ramen(with the usual "Not as good as Ichiraku's"comment) and started to boil the water.
He walked back to his room to check on Hinata, only to find her mumbling stuff like "Must train more... impress Naruto-kun..." and squirming alot. Naruto found that kind of weird, but dismissed the thought, hearing his water start to squeal. After 3 min. of cooking, he ate his ramen at the speed of light, and snuck back into his bedroom.
The blond heard Hinata muttering again, this time a bit louder."Train...train...train... impress Naruto-kun... love Naruto-kun..." Naruto stared at her in awe, 'That explains all of the blushing and fainting.'
Naruto spent the remander of the quiet bliss of morning, mulling over how stupid he was not to notice how painfully obvious Hinata was and how silly she was for not saying anything.
" All this time..." he mummbled. Then he decided it. The biggest decision he had made in his thirteen year old life."I'll learn to love her back today, some day, mark my words..." Naruto said before he dosed off into a wonderful slumber.
Later:
"Naruto-kun...Naruto-kun...wake up. Time for breakfast," Hinata said lightly, shaking him slightly.
"Huh," Naruto asked while rubbing his eyes.
"It's time for breakfast, Naruto-kun," Hinata repeated softly while she walked away.
While Naruto changed into his uniform, he thought about what Hinata said that morning, and how he had grown to love the blue-haired girl with a stutter in those 3 hours of sleep.
"Okay, and is that bacon in which you are making?" Naruto said while sniffing the air.
"Hai, Naruto-kun, do you want some?" Hinata asked from the stove.
"Yesyesyesyesyesyesyes!" Naruto hollered while running into the kitchen. He hadn't had a wholesome meal and ages and was dieing for the taste of meat.
"Naruto-kun, did you make instant ramen in the middle of the night?" Hinata asked in her soft voice, suspiciuosly eyeing the pot which lie at the bottom of the sink.
"Yep," Naruto answered curtly, crunching on his bacon.
After a pause of silence, the only sound was Naruto snarfing down the slightly overcooked bacon, Hinata spoke up again. "I hope my snoring didn't wake you, Nee-chan says I wake her."
Naruto shook his head indicating a no, reliving Hinata in the slightest way. "You only said a few things, nothing much." the ninja shrugged.
"What did I say?" She asked tentivly, not sure if she really wanted to know.
"Only stuff about training, trying to impress me, oh, and how much you love me. But that's all," Naruto said simply.
"Oh!" Hinata yelped, turning around to the stove and holding her hands to her face, trying to hide her blush which went through twelve diffrent shades of red.
"It's okay, Hinata-chan, I love you too, I guess..." Naruto said while scratching the back of his head. He didn't look all that convincing, but Hinata belived him.
In that moment, all of the blue haired genin's dreams came true; 1. For Naruto to admit he had feelings for her, and 2. For her and Naruto to live together. She finally felt content.
"I have a question, though," Naruto said, pointing his fork at her.
"Y-yes," Hinata stuttered out finally.
"What will you're dad think about...well....us?"
"Well, he's been treating me better ever since I started training more. I think he finally respects me, Even if it's only a little bit." Hinata concluded.
"Good, because I'm going to ask his permission if we can date," Naruto said happily.
Date, date, date, date.
No, now is when all of her dreams come true.
"Now that I'm done with my, wonderful, outstanding, astonishing breakfast, I will take a shower," Naruto said, getting up heading towards the bathroom.
"Okay," Hinata nodded as he walked past.
The sound of the shower turning on filled the appartment, along with a song. Hinata followed the lyrics, not really knowing what to do with herself:
Well, we all have a face that we hide away forever
And we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has gone.
Some are satin, some are steel,
Some are silk and some are leather.
They're the faces of a stranger,
But we'd love to try them on.
Well, we all fall in love, Don't be afraid to try again. Once I used to believe I was such a great romancer. Well, we all fall in love Don't be afraid to try again.
But we disregard the danger,
Though we share so many secrets,
There are some we never tell.
Why were you so surprised that you never saw the stranger?
Did you ever let your lover see the stranger in yourself?
Everyone goes south every now and then.
You've done it.
Why can't someone else?
You should know by now.
You've been there yourself.
Then I came home to a woman that I could not recognize.
When I pressed her for a reason,
She refused to even answer.
It was then I felt the stranger kick me right between the eyes.
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised that you never saw the stranger
Did you ever let your lover see the stranger in yourself.
Everyone goes south every now and then.
You've done it.
Why can't someone else?
You should know by now.
You've been there yourself.
You may never understand how the stranger is inspired.
But he isn't always evil and he is not always wrong.
Though you drown in good intentions,
You will never quench the fire.
You'll give in to your desire when the stranger comes along.
The song ended and the shower shut off, being replaced by the sound of a blowdryer.
Five minutes later, Hinata saw Naruto come out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. With no cover from the torso up, Hinata could see his defined muscle and his rock-hard abs. All she could do was stare and blush.
"Hinata-chan, you'll have to wait for a few seconds, I need to change into my uniform, then we can leave," Naruto said.
"Hai," Hinata said back.
A few seconds later:
"Okay, Hina-chan, let's go," Naruto yelled.
And then they set off for their death.
That's my second chappie, tell me if you like it. Flaming allowed, but I love constructive criticism. You won't have to wait long for #3.
Seeya.
NaruHina Showdown.
