Chapter 2
Awesomoisawesome doesn't own Naruto
It was the next morning after Hiashi's little visit. Hinata was just waking up. She had no idea where she was until the memories of last night hit her hard. Her father had abandoned her, and what was going to happen next? One of the first questions that struck her was, is Hanabi going to be ok. She was the only person who gave a damn about Hanabi and now that she has been kicked out, what was going to happen to her poor sister. Hiashi wasn't know for his kindness. She was about to get lost in her train of thought when she felt somebody snuggling up beside her. She had almost forgotten that she fell asleep next to Naruto. The familiar blush made its way on her face. She was about to jump up and put hundred yards between them, when she realized Naruto was her boyfriend now. So instead of running away, she just snuggled back and tried to get back to sleep.
Naruto woke up with a strange warm sensation rubbing up against him. 'When did I get a cat' thought Naruto stupidly. When he finally opened his eyes, he was at first kind of disappointed at the fact he was still in the hospital and he didn't have a cat. But when he looked down at Hinata, his heart did a 180. At that moment of time he didn't have a single worry in the world. Of course when he completely woke up, he started to panic. 'OK OK OK Hina-chan and I didn't do anything last night right.' "Of course not, stupid, your not man enough to do anything to her." 'Why you son of a...' He was cut short by Hinata wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him into a passionate kiss.
"Good morning Naru-kun." said Hinata as she gave him a Eskimo kiss.
"Mornin Hina-chan." said Naruto with a groggy but friendly smile on his face.
"Good morning Love birds" said Tsuande, who was just standing there looking at the two. Next to her was Tenten and Ino, just giggling away.
"BAA-CHAN! What the hell!" screamed Naruto, nearly deafening poor Hinata.
"Damn it Naruto don't be so LOUD" screamed Tsuande right back at him.
"YOU stop being so loud were in a god damn Hospital!" screamed Naruto again.
"I'm not being as LOUD as you so shut the hell up, you little brat!" screamed Tsuande.
"Why you little..." He was interrupted by Tsuande. "I'm bigger than you."
"It's just because your freakishly tall!" countered Naruto
"No, your freakishly short." and with that everyone laugh except Naruto who mumbled "That was really low of you." "Just like you." He looked over at Hinata holding her sides and rolling around. "You too Hinata. Wait a minute, your just as short as me." "Prove it," said Ino and Tenten at the same time. So they got out of bed, Naruto was almost completely healed thanks to the fox, and stood next to each other. Naruto was right, they were the same height. However Hinata suddenly grew three inches when she stopped slouching. That was the defining blow to his manly pride.
"Ouch, that's got to hurt." said Tenten as everyone was again laughing at Naruto being height challenge.
"Now I know you guys didn't come here to make fun of me." said an annoyed Naruto.
"No, no your right. But it was a bonus." Tsuande just kept on laughing. It took them nearly an hour to stop. By then he was slightly pissed.. "Well you tell me now?" asked Naruto.
"Ok, Ok hold your horses. The reason why I'm here is to tell you that you only need about one more day at the hospital and you can leave." said Tsuande breathlessly.
"Really Baa-chan!" Naruto screamed and dove right at her, grabbing her in a hug. She wasn't surprise because she knew how much he didn't like hospitals. "Get off of Hokage-sama, Naruto don't you have any respect." said Ino. He pushed off her and landed on the bed.
"Respect? Why would anyone respect Baa-chan?" asked Naruto truly wondering why, he wasn't being sarcastic.
"Naruto, some people like to respect the Hokage. It's a perk that comes with the job." said Tsuande as she wonder is Naruto really that stupid.
"Well if everyone knew what kinds of things you do in your spare time..." Naruto was cut short by Tsuande covering his mouth.
"I see your doing well." said Tsuande then she whispered to Naruto "And I'm sure you want to stay that way."
"Fine, you crazy old..." He was cut short again by Tsuande's fist. "Damn Naruto don't you know when to shut up, and why do you call Hokage-sama, Baa-chan?" asked Ino.
"Oh you guys will never believe it." said Naruto excitedly as he drew in his breath, signaling that Tsuande better stop him. Tsuande wasn't fast enough though, as Naruto revealed her biggest and most embarrassing secret. "She is UNBELIEVABLY OLD! Probably older than Ero-sennin." screamed Naruto to the whole hospital. Everyone in a five hundred yard radius was probably deaf by now.
" What Naru-kun are you sure, she looks so young?" asked Hinata.
"Yeah I know, but that's just because she uses some genjutsu to hide her real age. Sad isn't it." said Naruto with a disapproving look and nod that comes with it.
"Wow I would never of guess." snickered Ino
"Shut up, Tsuande-sama isn't that shallow. She's the greatest kunoichi that ever lived." said Tenten defensibly.
"Well I wouldn't do it without a very good reason." said Tsuande in a very quiet and embarrassed tone.
"Yeah...wait what." said Tenten looking at her mentor questionably.
"I'm sure Hokage-sama, has a good reason. She is the Hokage after all." said the understanding Hinata.
"Yes I do!" said Tsuande in her usually loud tone, "I have to keep myself looking beautiful and young for Konoha's citizens. Without my appealingness no one would be truly happy here." Tsuande actually thought that was a good reason.
"Wow that was weak, real weak, and sad, very sad." said Naruto wondering if Tsuande really was that senile.
"Why are Ino-chan and Tenten-chan here too?" asked Hinata trying to get off that strange topic and to keep whatever was left of her respect for the Hokage.
'She really has improved. Normally she would mumble out an awkward sentence with so many people around. I wonder is it because Naruto-kun is with her?' thought Tenten. Hinata was working on her shyness problem lately with Tenten help. Now when Hinata was around her close friends and there weren't too many people around, she wouldn't stuttered as much and would join in with the conversation. Which was a great improvement, compared to how shy she was before they started. However if there was more than two people with her she would go back to her old habits. But when Naruto was around she seemed to have an extra bit of confidence, which brought a tear to Tenten's eye.
"Tenten-chan and I were visiting the boys and decide to check up on you and Naruto to see if he had woke up yet." said Ino.
"It's also good to see your out of that coma, Naruto-kun. You had Hinata-chan very worried." said Tenten.
"Thanks guys, I mean girls. That really means a lot." Naruto then gave them his famous giant toothy smile.
"But now that you girls are here, I don't have to look for you all anymore."said Tsuande with a evil grin.
"Why would you need to look for us, Tsuande-sama?" asked Tenten because she was hoping that she was going to give them an important mission that no one can do but them and it would be the perfect opportunity to impress her blond idol.
"I have an important B-class mission for you all." said Tsuande.
"What why now that I'm in the hospital, Baa-chan I want to go too.?" asked Naruto in a whinny kid's voice.
"Shut up Naruto! and stop whining you're a ninja for god sakes!" said Tsuande a little too harshly.
"Really! what is it Tsuande-sama." asked Tenten. Of course Ino and Hinata saw right through Tsuande but Tenten was blinded by her own devotion to the big chested goddess.
"Well I already hear about Naruto and Hinata's little predicament." "WHAT HOW DO YOU ALREADY KNOW AND WHO TOLD YOU!" screamed Naruto.
"I am the Hokage, knowledge is another perk that comes with the job and Hiashi came this morning to discuss the situation with me. Of course I bashed his head in after we were done talking though." said the Hokage with a hint of pride in her voice. She had never really liked Hiashi.
"I hope you didn't hurt him too badly, Hokage-sama." said Hinata in her caring and sweet voice that made Naruto fall in love with her again. Tsuande was touch that Hinata could still care about her father even after all those horrible things he did to her. 'No wonder Naruto likes her' thought Tsuande.
"You don't have to call me Hokage-sama anymore Hinata-chan since you are looking after the brat now, but just don't call me Baa-chan it's already bad enough that he does it. And Hiashi is ok but I don't think he will be in any clan meetings for a while." Both Tsuande and Hinata giggled while Naruto laughed. "So do you have any place to stay?" asked Tsuande.
"Yes, I'm going to stay with Naru-kun." said Hinata with a huge blush.
"Oh you naughty little girl." said Tsuande as the other two girls just giggled, which cause Naruto to blush almost as bad as Hinata.
"Wait it's not what you think I mean well it could..." She trailed off into one of her favorite daydreams.
"Anyways, now that Hinata has a place to stay I want you three girls to fix up Naruto's apartment and make it livable." said Tsuande.
"WHAT! my apartment is just fine." said Naruto who was a little hurt by the comment.
"Fine for a boy but your going to have a woman live there now." said Tsuande.
"Yeah it's probably a disaster." said Tenten not looking forward to cleaning up the mess.
"No it's really clean because I have lots of help. Did you guys forget about my Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clone Jutsu)." A loud Oh was heard.
"But it needs a girls touch and this is going to be fun." said Ino excitedly. She loved to decorate anything and add her own personally touch.
"Fine however there are two conditions that have to be meant. First, don't and I mean don't you dare touch my ramen or your lives will end very painfully and that goes for you too, Hinata-chan, and second, three of my clones are going to help you and please don't do anything without their approval." said Naruto with a serious voice as he did his favorite seal and called out his favorite jutsu which created three Narutos standing right next to him.
"Okay you don't have to worry your ramen will be safe." said Ino.
"Good, and if you haven't notice I like the color orange so..." said Naruto.
"God your stupid Naruto-kun, come on Hinata-chan lets hurry." said Tenten as she and Ino were running out the door. Followed by three orange blurs.
"I'll be back after the mission, Naru-kun get some rest and try not to escape." said Hinata as she gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Okay Hina-chan see ya later tonight and bring some good food." said Naruto as he climb back into bed, Hinata just giggled.
"Hey Hinata-chan, tell them they can send the bill to the Hokage's office." said Tsuande with a small chuckle.
"Ok thank you Hokage-sam...Tsuande-chan." said Hinata as she race after the speedy girls.
"You've got a good girl there Naruto." said Tsuande warmly.
"Thanks and I know now. I wish I would have found her sooner." said Naruto with a grin.
"That reminds me, I need to talk to you after you get out of the hospital tomorrow and don't worry I will tell Hinata too, in case you forget." said Tsuande as she gave Naruto a wink.
"Is it about Sasuke?" asked Naruto. He had been so worried about the subject ever since Jiraiya mentioned it.
"Don't worry Naruto, Jiraiya already removed the cursed seal this morning." said Tsuande.
"Really how did it go?" asked Naruto. He prayed that his brother would be okay.
"It went fine however he will be out for at least two weeks." said Tsuande "Jiraiya really knows his stuff when it comes to seals."
"Yeah and he's not that bad of a writer ether." said Naruto. Tsuande just looked at him in a are-you-crazy manner before she bitch slapped him in the face.
"What it was a joke." said Naruto covering his face.
"Very funny" sarcasm was actually dripping from each word. " Hope you don't become a pervert like Jiraiya or Kakashi." said Tsuande as she shook her head and walked out.
"I thought it was very funny." grumbled Naruto as he fixed up his pillow. He hated hospital pillows. 'It's like they just don't like to be fluffy.' thought Naruto to himself. "There's something really wrong with you, stupid." said the fox in his head. 'Hey that reminds me, how can you talk to me when I am not out of it and in that depressing room with you.' "That last fight exposed you to a lot of my chakra and you spent a lot of time with me so naturally we created a connection."
'Oh I see...I think...maybe...no I don't get it.' The Kyuubi forgot that he was not talking to a stupid person, he was talking to a very stupid person. He couldn't make it anymore simpler than that. 'How can he be that stupid, I know it's not my fault right. If anything he should be smarter from having the lord of demons in his stomach.' thought the Kyuubi truly worried that Naruto might be a little mentally challenge.
"Never mind Stupid." 'You know, I don't really like the new nickname. No not at all.'
"Why it suits you perfectly." 'That's kind of mean don't you think.' "It's also kind of true."
'Ouch my feelings.' "Damn you're a baby you know that, an incredibly stupid baby. Wait someone is coming." 'What don't change the subject you bastard fox'
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. 'You smug little bastard' thought Naruto as he heard a bunch of laughter in his head. "Who's there?" asked Naruto wondering why he had gotten so popular.
"It's me Sakura, can I come in?" asked Sakura in a kinder tone than what she used the other day.
"Sakura, what are you doing here?" Naruto was kind of worried that she was going to kill him and hide the body. He really wasn't feeling so good about dying today. It just wasn't a good day for it. However if Sakura was going to kill him she would have broken down the door instead of knocking. But what if it was her plan to look innocent and sneak attack him when he wasn't thinking. He knew it was risky but he also hoped that she was going to apologize and they would become friends again.
"I'm here to talk, I promise I won't hurt you." said Sakura.
"Fine you can come in." said Naruto as Sakura opened the door and walked over to his bed. She sat down right next to him. There was a long awkward silence, Naruto decided that Sakura wasn't going to end it anytime soon. So being his cheerful and blunt self asked her straight out, "What did you want to talk about? Sakura-chan." He was surprised when Sakura gave him a tight hug and buried her face into his chest.
"Sakura-chan, what's with the hug ?" Naruto was puzzled by Sakura's actions because wasn't she supposed to be mad at him and want to kill him. His gown started to get a little wet were Sakura's head was laying. It took him awhile to realize that she was crying. He had no idea what to do, to be perfectly honest he thought it was kind of creepy.
"Sakura-chan why are you crying?" asked Naruto.
"Because you called me Sakura-chan even after all those mean things I called you." said Sakura through her tears.
"Well of course, your one of my precious people." he said as he looked down at her.
"Thank you Naruto, I just wanted to say I'm so sorry. It was just a fan girl moment. I promise it won't happen again." said Sakura as she let lose more weeps in his arms.
"It happens Sakura-chan, just treat me out to some ramen one of these days Ok." Naruto grinned.
"Why Naruto?" asked Sakura.
"I really like ramen." said Naruto matter-of-factly.
"No, I mean how can you really forgive me for all the horrible things I have done to you?" asked Sakura as she looked him in the eye.
"I don't like to hold grudges. It just hurts longer and doesn't make anything better, just keeps people from their loved ones." said Naruto in a sage like tone.
"Wow Naruto-kun that was incredibly wise and insightful, you really are the Number 1 unpredictable ninja in this village, hell in this world." said Sakura with a smile that could rival Naruto's.
"I'm glad you are feeling better, oh I have an idea for you to pay me back." said Naruto.
"What a date?" asked Sakura.
"No help out the girls fix up my apartment, ok." said Naruto with a cute grin.
"Ok, and when you get out we can have that date you always ask me for." said Sakura. She had thought Naruto would like it and it was a better opportune to spend to with him. Of course Sakura hasn't hear the news yet.
"Sorry Sakura-chan, I have a girlfriend now." said Naruto smugly. He was the first one of the two to have a girl/boyfriend, so why not rub it in a little.
"WHAT, who?" Sakura was completely surprised by this little tidbit of information. 'I thought no girl wanted him well except Hinata but she's too shy.'
"It's Hinata-chan, isn't she the best ever. I mean she has got to be the strongest kunoichi genin in the village and she is soooooooooooooo nice it's unbelievable. I think I might be in love with her." said Naruto in one breath.
"Really that's good to hear, I guess I will see you later?" asked Sakura while she was thinking, 'WHAT THE HELL, how could he like that stupid little bitch. I mean she can't even talk right. It's probably just her breasts that he is interest in. Man why can't I have big boobs. She even hides her's what a weirdo...' She just keep on going in her mind about how bad Hinata was even though none of it was true. She had always liked Hinata before this but Hinata has crossed the line this time. 'Wait why am I being jealous, no Hinata is just being stupid right. She should go out with Kiba not my Naruto-kun, that came out wrong. Uh I don't know what's going on anymore.'
"Sakura-chan, earth to Sakura-chan" said Naruto as he was poking her in the forehead with his finger.
"Oh Naruto-kun, did you say something?" asked Sakura as she turned red because of the embarrassment of spacing out.
"Yeah I did, and if you want to hang out tomorrow Hinata-chan and me will probably..."
He was cut short with a "Oh it's ok I have plans already lets do something the day after the next day?"
"Okay it's a deal, now if you don't mind I am going to catch me some Z's" said Naruto as he laid downed on the bed. Sakura just smiled and said , "See ya, Naruto-kun." as she
left the room and closing the door behind her. However Naruto didn't go straight to sleep. He reached under his bed and pulled out a small pink book with the words Icha Icha Paradise on it.
'Now where was I...' Naruto even though he criticized many perverts about this book, he kind of like them. Of course he read them for the storyline and not the porn right.
"Naruto, your such a hypocrite." said the slightly pissed off fox sealed inside of him.
'What I like the storyline and besides I'm not a hippo, you crazy fox.' thought Naruto
All Naruto could hear was a slight crying sound and several cuss words. Naruto decide
to ignore the stupid fox and get back to his story. 'Damn Ero-sennin really is a good writer.' However it was short lived because there was another knock on the door.
Hinata, Tenten and Ino decided to check out Naruto's apartment. It was as clean as Naruto said it was plus there was a bunch of potted plants everywhere. Naruto's apartment was kind of small but it had plenty of room for the couple, and it also had a nice size window in the living room that look out over the entire village. There were four rooms that made up his home, a main bedroom, a guest bedroom, a bathroom, and a living room with a kitchen combined with it. What had surprised everyone was that it had a sort of a lonely feel to it. Then it hit them, Naruto had been truly alone all his life.
"I can't believe Naruto has been on his own all his life." said Ino was a hint of despair.
"Must of been kind of lonely if you think about it." said Tenten was a really sad expression on her face.
"Yeah but now he has us, and he won't ever be alone again right girls." said Hinata bravely.
"Of course, Hinata-chan. Naruto-kun means a lot to us too. I mean without him Neji would still be as cold as ice instead of how he is now." said Tenten with a small blush.
"Yeppers, he sure can grow on ya." said Ino.
"He deserves a happy home and now that I'm here I hope I can give him it." said Hinata.
"Man, Hinata your confidence has grown a lot." said Tenten.
"Thanks, I don't know why though but I think it has something to do with Naruto." said Hinata with a small blush.
"That reminds me, way are you living with Naruto?" asked Ino.
"Oh my father caught me in bed with Naruto-kun so he kicked me out." said Hinata looking slightly depressed.
"Wow girl already. Is he good in bed?" asked Ino with a perverted smile.
"Oh that's so PG-13 of you Hinata-chan." said Tenten.
"NO! Not like that I meant like you know sleeping." said a flustered Hinata.
"Now girls were are we going to start?" asked Ino. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. They were wondering who would visit, when Naruto was at the hospital. While everyone was shocked, Hinata went to the door to see who it was. It didn't surprise her much that it was Sakura at the door. In her most pleasant voice she said, "Come in Sakura-chan. We were just about to fix the apartment." However Sakura had over heard them and was incredibly pissed. So when Hinata opened the door and said her greeting, Sakura had punched her right in the face.
Sakura was walking towards Naruto's apartment. She was a complete mess. Her crush for Sasuke had been extremely tampered with. She had always thought that Sasuke was her one and only but now she could see herself spending time with Naruto, a lot of time. 'Am I really that sick. Do I only like Naruto because of Hinata. I hope I don't have to see her anytime soon I might just do something I really going to regret.' thought Sakura as she walked down the hall towards Naruto's apartment.
She was about to knock on the door when she heard Hinata say, "Oh my father caught me in bed with Naruto-kun so he kicked me out." 'WHAT! That can't be right! Oh my god! That bitch.' Sakura was fuming now, and her common sense was not in control anymore. All she wanted to do now was to kill Hinata Hyuuga. She tried to calmed down and push down all those angry feelings. She knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. She was not expecting Hinata to open the door. But when Hinata tried to be nice and said, " Come in Sakura-chan. We were just about to fix the apartment." Sakura was just not in the mood for nice, so she punch Hinata in the face.
To say that Hinata was surprise was an understatement, but who would expect to get sucker punched in the face. It also hurt quite a bit. Hinata was thrown back a few feet. Luckly Tenten caught Hinata, and Ino held back Sakura. She asked Sakura, "What the hell do you think your doing Sakura? Hinata was just being nice." Sakura answer with a "That slut slept with my Naruto-kun!" Hinata countered politely with a "Sakura-chan I think you are confused, Naruto is my boyfriend, not yours and I didn't have sex with him yet." Sakura of course replied with a not so politely, "What do you mean yet, you little hooker." Sakura was trying her hardest to break Ino's grip but it wouldn't bulge.
"I said yet because I plan to have sex with him sometime in the near future, probably tomorrow." said Hinata with a perverted smile. Hinata must not of paid very much attention to the situation at that moment because Sakura lost it the moment Hinata said the word tomorrow.
In a sheer display of pure brute strength, Sakura broke free and tackled Hinata. It was the most one sided cat fight in history. Not because Hinata was weak, no far from it. If Hinata wanted to beat up Sakura she could of. It was because Hinata didn't want to hurt one of Naruto's precious people. Sakura however didn't care at all and just kept on punching Hinata in the stomach.
Tenten and Ino broke up the fight before Hinata was seriously injured. She had a black eye though and probably had a few bruises. Sakura was still fuming but looked like she had calmed down quite a bit. Hinata was incredibly stunned by Sakura's attack, she was hoping that Sakura and her could be good friends.
"What the hell do you think you are doing Sakura!" said a very angry Tenten as she and Ino holding on to Sakura.
"Come on why are you being such a bitch!" said Ino truly surprised that Sakura could do something like this.
"Me the bitch, no Hinata is being the bitch by dating Naruto. He's on my team, why don't you go bang one of your own teammates, like Kiba or Shino!" said Sakura.
"Actually Sakura, I'm dating Kiba." said Ino. This shocked everyone in the room.
"Really when did this happen, Ino-chan?" asked Hinata wondering why didn't Kiba tell her.
"It happen right after the whole Sasuke thing." said Ino as all attention was directed on her. "I was waiting for Chouji to get out of surgery. I decided to go visited Kiba and see what he was doing." Ino then looked away for a second almost like she was having a flashback. "He was just sitting in the room alone petting Akamaru who was unconscious at the time. I don't know why that simple show of affection got to me but it just did." she said with a small blush. "At first I wasn't sure he would even like me back because I thought he liked Hinata but after talking to him for a few hours. He asked me out and I said yes. I have been visiting him everyday since."
"Oh that's so sweet!" said Hinata as she giggled like a school girl.
"That's nice to hear, I'm happy for you." said Tenten as she gave Ino a hug, She however forgot that she was supposed to be holding Sakura back. Sakura once released didn't do anything, she had gotten over her extreme rage and it had become more of a deep hatred instead.
"So what! You could still go out with Shino, he seems more like your type anyways." said Sakura.
"Shino has a fiancé already." said Hinata,
"Really when did this happen?" asked Tenten.
"He has an arranged marriage with someone in another bug clan that's in the hidden rock village." said Hinata.
"So what, that doesn't give you the right to go out with one of my teammates, just stay away from him." said Sakura with quite a bit of bitterness in it.
"Sakura, I didn't know that you liked him but you're always treating him like crap and he doesn't deserve that. He needs someone who will love and support him no matter what." said Hinata while she tried to look as confident as possible.
"What do you know Hinata, I treat him fine." said Sakura.
"Why do you even want Naruto, I thought you loved Sasuke." said Ino.
"I don't care what you think, because I don't want Naruto, but I want him to be as happy as possible." said Sakura as she tried to sound sisterly except it sounded more jealous.
"Sakura, you're really bring down the mood here so could you leave we've got a mission here to do?" asked Tenten hoping that Sakura would leave because it was starting to get kind of awkward.
"And you can come back when you have a better attitude about Hinata's relationship with Naruto, ok?" said Ino. Ino still considered Sakura as her best friend but what she was doing to Hinata was just plan wrong.
"Fine bye." said Sakura as she stormed out. She really wasn't mad anymore. She was more hurt than anything. The things Hinata had said, gave her an extreme case of the guilt trips.
"Now that the Negative Nancy is gone lets think about what we are going to do next." said Tenten with a huge grin on her face.
"Wait what happen to Naruto's clones?" asked Hinata after she realize that she hadn't seen them since they got to the apartment.
"I got rid of those pest after we got out of the hospital." said Ino with a look of mischief on her face.
"Hey Hinata-chan do you need some ice for your eye?" asked Tenten.
"No I can take care of that later when I'm at the hospital tonight." said Hinata.
"Ok then lets get to work everybody." said Ino as They started to talk about all the things that they will need to fix up the house and how they probably shouldn't of killed off those clones because of all the manual labor they will have to do now.
Naruto was having a very popular day. First he woke up to see his Baa-chan and his girlfriend, then Sakura had came and apologize which was kind of unusual of her. Kakashi had interrupted him while he was reading his favorite volume of Icha Icha Paradise. Kakashi wanted to talk about the mission and give Naruto some tips on the kage bunshin. Konohamaru had came to visit for a little while and helped Naruto pull a bunch of pranks on everyone in the hospital, including Neji who had mostly recovered from his injuries. Jiraiya had visited after Konohamaru had left. They talked about jutsus and quite a few perverted ways to improve his relationship with Hinata. Iruka came to visit too and give Naruto the birds and the bees talk, which completely surprised and sicken Naruto greatly. It was a very awkward subject to talk about with someone you consider a father figure. After Iruka left, Naruto decided to get in a nap before he saw Hinata so they could talk about all the crazy thing she and he did today.
He was having a nice dream. Everything was made of ramen and it was all looking tasty to him. That was until Neji appeared who was made of ramen too. He didn't have a very happy look on his face as he tried to attack Naruto. Tried was the key word there, because as Neji tried to strike, Naruto bit off Neji's hands. Soon Neji just had numbs for arms and was trying to run away from Naruto. However Naruto had already gotten a taste and he wanted more. Neji didn't even stand a chance.
There was a loud knock on the door that woke up Naruto. 'Damn that was one nice dream.' thought Naruto as he lick his lips. "What the hell is wrong with you, that was one of the most disturbing dreams I have ever seen." said the Kyuubi. 'Wussy, stay out of my dreams if you don't like them.' thought Naruto.
"Who is it?" asked Naruto, wondering who else would visit. He was kind of hoping that it was Hinata.
"It's me, Shikamaru." "Come in then" Shikamaru walked in with his chunin vest and a shogi board.
"So how are you feeling, Naruto?" asked Shikamaru as he sat down in a chair near Naruto bed.
"I'm feeling fine, how's everyone else?" asked Naruto.
"Good, Neji and Chouji are feeling better and will be out probably tomorrow and Kiba is fine, Akamaru woke up from his coma a few hours ago." said Shikamaru.
"That's nice to hear, why are you here at the hospital. I would think it would be too troublesome to come." said Naruto with a snicker.
"Shut up, it is too troublesome, but I was visiting Chouji. He was asleep when I got here so I decided to check up on you." said Shikamaru.
"Thanks man, that means a lot. Hey your first mission as a Chunin was a success."
"Yeah your right I guess I have you to thanks for that." said Shikamaru in an unusually positive attitude.
"No, we all worked hard and accomplished the mission. We all deserve equal thanks." said Naruto with a serious tone.
"Ok, I can live with that. Hey do you want to play Shogi?" asked Shikamaru in a very unShikamaru way.
"Hey what's going on? You hate doing anything." said Naruto.
"Well I haven't played Shogi all day because Asuma is on a mission and Chouji is out cold."
"Oh, well I guess one game won't hurt." said Naruto as Shikamaru fixed up the board.
Three hours and twenty six games, Naruto was starting to get the hang of the game. Shikamaru was still beating him badly just not as bad as when they started. Naruto was having a great time because he loved spending time with his friends and the game was growing on him. Shikamaru was having a good time too because Naruto actually tried every time they played. Chouji didn't have the spirt of competition as Naruto had and Asuma didn't focus enough to make it fun. Also Naruto was getting the hang of it and was slowly starting to challenge him.
Nether of them noticed Hinata walk in. She had two steaming bowls of ramen. She was stun to see Naruto so calm and relax. So she sneaked up next to Naruto and surprised him with a intimate hug. Naruto was smiling at Hinata while Shikamaru was shock to see the shyest girl in the village give her crush a hug.
"So when did this happen?" asked Shikamaru
"Yesterday when I woke up, I saw Hinata..." Hinata covered Naruto's mouth.
"Yes when he woke up I told him I liked him and that's how everything started." said Hinata. Naruto didn't look like he mind having Hinata's hands on him.
"Well it's about damn time. I mean it was pretty obvious." said Shikamaru.
"What are you talking about?" asked Naruto.
"She has had a crush on you since...well longer than I have known you." said Shikamaru as he scratching his chin.
"Shikamaru!" said Hinata because she was worried that Naruto would think she was a weirdo again.
"That's my weirdo." said Naruto as he grabbed her by the waist and gave her a very nice kiss.
"Well, I will leave you two lovebirds alone. It's getting late, I guess I will try and find that troublesome sand woman." said Shikamaru as he left.
Naruto and Hinata were still kissing for a while after he left. When they finally separated, Naruto looked Hinata in her beautiful and unique eyes. He could only see love and caring in those eyes of hers. However he also saw that she had a black eye. He would kill anyone who dared to hurt his Hina-hime.
"Hinata what happen to your eye?" asked Naruto who was concerned with her health.
"Oh, Sakura came over to help and She got a little over protective of you. She also jumped me and started to beat the crap out of me." said Hinata.
"When I get my hands on her, I promise I will kill her." said Naruto with a tone of extreme rage in it.
"No, Naruto she was just concerned about you and wanted to make sure you were as happy as possible." said Hinata in a kind and understanding tone.
"Well she shouldn't attack my most precious person. What did I do to deserve you. You are without a doubt the kindest person who has ever lived." said Naruto as he snuggled into her shoulder.
"Your really sweet Naruto and I hope you like what we did to your apartment." said Hinata as she cuddled him.
"Hey that reminds me, what happen to my clones." asked Naruto as he stared at her.
"Oh ha ha ha" was all she could say before Naruto picked up his pillow and started to beat her with it. She of course picked up another pillow and started to beat him with it. Their little pillow fight lasted about ten minutes. When they were done, all they could do was laugh. Naruto decided at that moment that he loved her laughter the most. It was the sweetest sound he had ever heard.
They finished the night by eating their cold bowls of ramen, the bowls had cooled down quite a bit within ten minutes, and talking about what happen. Naruto left out the parts about Jiraiya and the birds and the bees. When they were done with dinner they just laid down and talked about everything they could think of. After awhile of this, Hinata dosed off while Naruto was telling her about his training with Jiraiya. He just smiled at her and gave her a small kiss on her forehead before he fell asleep next to her.
Hello everybody, thanks from the nice reviews. I hoped you liked this chapter and if you didn't please tell me. Also don't stop reading because it will get better. This was just a boring chapter. And don't be mad about the Ino/Kiba pairing. I was already planing to put those two together. I plan to put Neji/Ten and Shika/Tema in this story later. Don't worry about Naruto leaving Hinata for Sakura. I hate the pairing of Naru/Saku a lot. They don't have any chemistry. In a few chapters I will have ether Lee or Sasuke go out with her. I will probably have Lee and make Sasuke gay (I always thought he was gay, I mean he has all those fan girls and he doesn't do anything with them) if you don't like it then please tell me. Also please review and keep on reading. If you have any advise please tell me.
