It Doesn't Take The Byakugan To See

PLEASE READ ALL AUTHORS NOTES

Hello again guys, most of the reviewers liked the fanfic, and wanted more chapters, so here we are. I would like to clear up that Naruto and Hinata DID date in the past, the fanfiction should have stated that multiple times, but I may have not made it clear enough. Anyways thanks for all your support, and without further ado, let's begin chapter two.

Naruto's POV

Naruto walked quickly through the streets of Konoha. The sun was going down, leaving shades of red and yellow in the somewhat cloudy sky. Shops were starting to close and most people were inside their homes eating dinner. Naruto didn't know where he was headed, and he really didn't care either.

"Oh Sasuke... I love you so much... I want you, not Naruto!"

Sakura's words repeated over and over in his head. He remembered getting home from his long mission he was tasked with, to see Sasuke and Sakura making out on the couch, and after hearing those awful words come out of her mouth, he ran out, not caring where he would end up. That's how he found out about Sakura's secret affair.

Naruto stopped at the bench he sat upon all those previous nights, and pondered whether or not he should just head home instead of sulking on it like before. It was then a pang of guilt hit him. He remembered what he had said rather rudely to Hinata last night.

"Hinata, I am not getting back with you, I don't like you in that way. Our days together are over! We can be friends but nothing more! Stop trying, I don't want a relationship with you! Get it through your head!"

Naruto sighed to himself. "I shouldn't have been so harsh towards her, but I was just so upset and angry I didn't really think. All she did was try to help, and when she asked to get back with me, I freaked out! I should really go and apologize to her." With that thought in his mind, Naruto started off to the Hyuga compound, hoping to Kami that Neji or Hiashi weren't there to greet him.

When Naruto arrived at the Hyuga compound doors, he lifted his hand to knock on the dark, oak doors, when they swung open without him even having to touch them. Sure enough, Neji Hyuga stood in front of him, an angry look plastered onto his face. Naruto figured that Neji already knew what happened. "Get out of here Uzumaki, or I will have to force you out myself!" Although he was clearly stronger than Neji now, Naruto still didn't want this visit to end up in a conflict.

"Please Neji, I just came here to speak to Hinata. It'll take less than five minutes." Naruto pleaded quickly, while backing away from the furious looking Hyuga in front of him at the same time.

"Why? So you can just hurt her again! Just because you were in a relationship with her once doesn't mean you have free access to her! All through last night I had to deal with her sobbing, and when I finally pried an answer out of her the next morning as to why she was crying so hard last night, we were shocked to find out what you had said to her!" Neji exclaimed.

Naruto looked down, he didn't think he'd hurt Hinata as bad as he did. He was just annoyed at her for asking for them to be back in a relationship right after what happened to him, after he had made it clear when they broke up a few years earlier that he did not want to be with her, although he put it in a nicer way when they broke up.

"Naruto, I don't know the full details about what happened, but I know Hinata loves you. She told me what you said, although I think she tried to put what you said in a nicer way so I wouldn't be as mad at you, but it doesn't take my Byakugan to see how harshly you put it. I'm sorry about what happened with Sakura, but honestly, you don't need to hurt others just because you're hurt, especially when they're just trying to help." Neji said in a calmer voice this time.

"Neji" said Naruto, "I just came to apologize to Hinata, I realize what I've done was uncalled for, and I didn't realize it would hurt her feelings this much."

"Alright Naruto, but Hinata is out on a mission right now, when she comes back you can talk to her." Neji replied.

Naruto was a bit irritated at this, as he wanted to speak to her as soon as possible. He knew Hinata's performance during her mission might not be as good if she is feeling upset.

"I guess I'll just come back tomorrow." He thought.

Hinata's POV

Hinata was walking back to the Hidden Leaf Village with Kiba from her mission. The sky was dark and it was getting late. The mission Kiba, Shino and Hinata were assigned was simple, find the stolen necklace and bring it back to the Lost and Found station in a small village near Konoha. Team 8's scouting ability made the mission as easy as it was.

"So, Hinata, I've noticed something seems to be bothering you." Kiba said, breaking the silence.

"N-no Kiba, everything is alright." Lied Hinata. Hinata didn't want to talk about what happened the previous night, she already told Neji a bit of what happened, so she didn't want anyone else to know or confront Naruto about it. Hinata was glad, however, that she had people who cared about her and wanted to know what was bothering her.

"Hinata" Kiba replied back "I know something is wrong, and I know it was between Naruto and you.

"W-what?! How did you know?!" Hinata was a little freaked out on how he could know such things, especially when she thought her and Naruto were alone.

"I have a new Jutsu that allows me to read minds." Kiba replied with a grin.

"What?" Hinata questioned.

"I'm just kidding around, last night I was walking around and I saw you two sitting on a bench together. You haven't been acting yourself since then so I figured something went wrong then."

"Oh…" said Hinata quietly.

"So, tell me what's up Hinata. What happened?" Kiba inquired.

"It's just that, um, Naruto and I- well." Hinata whispered, resuming her old habits of fidgeting with her fingers.

"Kiba, he doesn't want me back! I've tried for so long to convince him that I can be better than when we were going out the first time, but he just doesn't want me!" Hinata burst out, only just managing to hold back her tears.

"Hinata… he was wrong to break up with you in the first place, you're amazing! You still love him after all these years?"

"Thanks Kiba, that helped a bit. And yes, I do love Naruto." Hinata replied with a small smile.

"Hey, Hinata?" Kiba asked.

"Yes Kiba?"

"Would you like to go on a date with me?"

Hinata was shocked by Kiba's sudden question. "W-w-what, why?" she asked quickly.

"Because Hinata" began Kiba. "You're great! You deserve someone that will treat you right, like I can! Plus, I think I like you a little, Hinata."

Hinata went as red as a tomato. "W-wow Kiba. I-I n-never thought…" Hinata stuttered.

"So, how about it? I'll take you for a nice dinner." Said Kiba.

"Um, Kiba, I really appreciate what all you've said to me, but I'll have to think about it first… I still really like Naruto, and it wouldn't be good for us to go to dinner and have me thinking about Naruto and what happened between us the whole time we are eating." Replied Hinata.

"Alright" said Kiba "When you have your answer, tell me."

"You have my word" Hinata responded.

When Hinata got back to the Hyuga compound she was slightly happier than she was before. Hinata would think about her answer to Kiba's date after she got a good night's sleep.

"Hmm…" Shino said to himself at the exit to the Lost and Found station in the small village they brought the necklace back to. "Hinata and Kiba should've been back by now, I thought they were watching the forest for any more potential thieves…"

"Or maybe they just forgot me again… I should just go head back to the village…."

And that was chapter two. I know where this story is going to be headed but if you have anything you suggest for me to change go ahead and leave a review for this chapter. Thanks for reading! I really do appreciate it!
