WARNING THE FOLLOWING STORY CONTAINS HIPSTERFUL MUSIC! (Basically indie and all that good stuff ;P)

I do NOT own Naruto

Nor do I own the song Montezuma by Fleet Foxes

Bold and centered text are lyrics.

"Ahh! Naruto you killed her!" Choji screamed dropping his chip bag and flailing his arms around.

"No Choji, you dimwit she just fainted!" Temari face-palmed at how empty headed he could be.

"Oh," the pleasantly plump individual sighed in relief hearing how his friend would be okay.

"So what now dickless?" Sai asked obviously asking Naruto what to do next.

Naruto went over to where the now unconscious Hinata Hyuuga laid, "Kiba, smelling salts," the energetic dog lover threw the smelling salts towards the blond, he, Shino, and Neji always had some on board.

The whiskered teen caught them and held the salts under the raven haired girl's nose. Hinata's eyes fluttered open, she awoke to a very embarrassing scene of her blond love hovering over her and starting intently into her eyes. 'Oh no, what if he kisses me, he's so close…OH MY GOD HE SAID HE LOVES ME BACK!' Hinata thought to herself, just before everything went black.

The girl was stirred by an ear splitting scream from Lee. She winced as she stumbled over to where her green clad friend was.

"SHE'S DEAD!"

"No she isn't, she just fainted!" Tenten yelled back, obviously annoyed by the mini-Gai's antics.

Hinata then squeaked waving, "Y-y-yes Lee-kun, I'm fine s-see?"

"Yosh! Hinata-chan thanks to the power of youth you live!" the overly athletic teen rejoiced as everyone sweat dropped.

Clearing his throat rather loudly Kankuro boomed, "Now that everyone is awake, what's in the case?"

Naruto and company swarmed around the dual picnic tables as the goofy blond pulled out his mocha colored acoustic guitar from its ebony case. "I got way better while I was away, and I don't sound like a rat when I sing!" Naruto laughed as he tuned his guitar.

Coughing he grabbed his pick readied himself for his first performance back home.

So now I am older
Than my mother and father
When they had their daughter
Now what does that say about me?

Oh, how could I dream of
Such a selfless and true love
Could I wash my hands of
Just looking out for me

Oh man, what I used to be
Oh man, oh my, oh me
Oh man, what I used to be
Oh man, oh my, oh me

In dirth or in excess
Both the slave and the empress
Will return to the dirt I guess
Naked as when they came

I wonder if I'll see
Any faces above me
Or just cracks in the ceiling
Nobody else to blame

Oh man, what I used to be
Oh man, oh my, oh me
Oh man, what I used to be
Oh man, oh my, oh me

Gold teeth and gold jewelry
Every piece of your dowry
Throw them into the tomb with me
Bury them with my name

Unless I have someday
Ran my wandering mind away

Oh man, what I used to be
Montezuma to Tripoli
Oh man, oh my, oh me

Naruto finished his song, and found that a large crowd had gather around him and was currently cheering and clapping. His friends were left slack-jawed at his amazing improvement. Going from the scruffy pre-teen who couldn't keep the proper pitch for more than thirty seconds to a matured young man, with the voice of god himself, at least that's what Hinata thought.

Sasuke Uchiha soon recovered, giving the first complement he'd given in a while, "Whoa, dobe I never thought I'd say this but, you're actually really good, where do I sign up?"

The blond musician looked completely clueless as he stared at his Uchiha friend, "For what?"

"You're band of course, you really thought we wouldn't help you, because no one can play the piano like, Neji Hyuuga," the brown haired sophomore replied causally and Sasuke just hn'd in agreement.

"Wow, you guys are awesome, ya' know that?"

A chorus of "yeah"s and "we-know"s erupted from his comrades as everything settled down.

Ino looked at her bright purple bedazzled cell phone and noticed that they only had about five minutes left until everyone had to flock to the gym for a welcome presentation, "Hey guys we need to wrap this up, we only have like five minutes before the warning bell," the cheeky flaxen haired girl warned, getting everyone's attention.

Everyone made sure to safely pack away their gifts as Hinata cuddled Maple like a small child would to their security blanket; she delicately placed the stuffed toy into her deep purple backpack and slung it over her shoulders. Naruto just finished packing his guitar up as the warning bell rang, everyone reluctantly got up, especially Shikamaru for he was far too lazy to actually walk. The 16-year-old blond stayed back just a bit as everyone trudged forward.

"Hey there Hinata-chan," the jean wearing boy smiled, balancing on the heels of his feet.

"H-hello Naruto-kun," the shy girl mumbled and hid inside her purple jacket, just a bit.

Naruto motioned for then to sit on the cool grass, "I know you're probably wondering if I really meant it when I said I loved you, well," Naruto inhaled.

'My gossip senses are tingling,' Ino thought suspiciously seeing as though neither Naruto nor Hinata were there, 'Billboard-brow will want in.'

Ino stalked over to where her long time best friend was, "Billboard-brow, the rabbit has left the den, I repeat the rabbit has left the den."

The pink haired teen girl quickly processed the encoded message and stealthily replied, "Operation Hot Hyuuga is under way."

The duo covertly crept off undetected, and spotted the couple sitting underneath a tree, 'Jackpot!' both thought simultaneously.

"Well, I meant every word, you keeping in touch with me, always remembering my birthdays, calling me and asking how my day went, those simple yet kind gestures meant the world to me. I saw parts of you I never knew without even being in the same room as you, you're a great person and an even better friend, but I think I want us to be something more than friends, would you go out with me on Friday?"

Hinata gasped at the last part, she had not been expecting that. Gripping the fresh August grass, she slowly lowered her heart rate to about normal and numbly nodded her head. As she opened her mouth to speak, she was at a loss for words while staring into his deep blue eyes; she felt an almost unnatural pull towards her flaxen haired love. Unbeknownst to Hinata, Naruto was stuck in the same predicament; the pressure of the unexplainable attraction to the opal-lavender eyed girl's lips was almost too much.

As to two love birds drew nearer a sudden sneeze, followed by a shriek, then a thud as two teenage girls started slapping and clawing each other like crazy, interrupted their almost first kiss. The occasional "Ino-pig" or "Billboard-brow" was exchanged. Before any permanent damage was done the petite Hyuuga scurried over and set the two best friends straight, "Come on guys, p-please stop fighting!" a sudden idea popped in her head, "Sakura-chan your make-up is all over the place, Ino-chan you need to fix your hair." The duo stopped fighting and attempted to fix the other's make-up and hair. "Now say you're sorry," Hinata commanded, to the best of her ability. Both hung their heads down, ashamed and mumbled "sorry" as they shuffled off back to the presentation.

"Wow, Hinata-chan how'd you do that?" The fox-like young man gawked, not accustom to constant cat-fights.

The girl turned tomato-red, "That's how I trained my dog and cat, they would always fight but all I needed to do was distract them..." she mumbled very embarrassed.

Naruto doubled over in laughter as he staggered towards the main building, not wanting to be too late for the pep rally. Hinata then followed, giggling softly.

Hope you enjoyed it and remember, constructive criticism is always welcome.

Buh-bye
