(for those that are rereading due to hole in story: this chapter is exactly the same so you can skip) I just finished making a rough drawing of the OC and wow I just couldn't wait I had to write this chapter tonight so here I am uploading this at most likely around 3 A.M.(US eastern) Disclaimer I don't own naruto.
"Thoughts"
Chapter 2 : feelings and food
" So since your here I assume it went well"
"yes"
"short and quick I like you already. Now then your next mission requires you to return to your return to your hometown, Konoha."
"..."
"Cold feet, eh. Don't worry it's nothing as ridiculous as taking on the entire village then that is a suicide mission even for me. Go to the hotel on the map provided to you and there will be a package waiting for you in the room, now go!"
"Hai, Orochimaru-Sama."
(Training ground #3 forest area)
"Hinata-chan I love you."
"I love you too, Naruto-kun." Is what they had said as Hinata listened to Naruto's heart beat. As they held each other Hinata's nose began to tickle and no matter how much she scratched or snorted the tickling sensation wouldn't go away until she sneezed. Then when she looked around she saw darkness surrounding her, Hinata was so scared she closed her eyes and screamed.
When she opened her eyes again she was saddened that what she just heard Naruto say was all a dream. Hinata wondered how she fell asleep and remembered what happened with guy. He probably was the person who put me against this tree. Just then the tickling sensation returned and something was on her shoulder, it was naruto and his spikey hair was digging into her nose both of which made her jump on to her feet which in turn cause naruto to faceplant the ground.
"Ouch, what the hell just happened?" Naruto whined when he saw Hinata who loooked like she just saw a ghost.
"oh thats right I saw you here and I waited for you to wake up, I guess I fell asleep too heh. Actually Hinata why were you sleeping here in the first place." Hinata tried to look confused because she didn't want to say that guy snuck up behind her and surprised her which made her faint.
" I-I-I was training and I got tired so I was resting I guess I fell asleep." She said already blushing at the sight of Naruto.
" Well in that case I bet your Hungry I was about to go to Ichiraku's ramen stand." Naruto said still sitting down with smile. Hinata's face literally changed from pale white to crimson red.
"D-D-DINNER with naruto!!!" "Y-Y-Y-Yes" Hinata finally squeaked
"Great let's go!" Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand and started rushing toward ichiraku.
( Sasuke's home)
"I can't believe I'm actually going to go through this, but if it will shut her up for at least a day it will be worth it." Sasuke thought as he got up to leave. As he grabbed the door he remembered.
"she wanted me to wear some thing 'nice'... maybe complying will shut her up longer." Sasuke walked toward his closet and took out something that would seem 'nice'... he hoped. Now wearing the new clothes Sasuke left his house to go most likely lose his pride.
When he got to the restaurant Sakura was already waiting wearing a silk pink dress.
"Sasuke-kun you came, I'm glad."
"I don't break promises regardless of what they are."
"Those clothes make your look handsome Sasuke-Kun"(He is wearing the clothes he has from shippuuden minus the purple sash and sword and his kimono is closed hiding his chest)
"thanks."
"So, what do you think?"
"...?"
"My dress silly."
"... it's nice."
"Nice? Is that it, well it's better nothing. Come on lets go in." Sasuke followed Sakura into the restaurant. The receptionist brought them to a booth with a window and told them the special was ton katsu(breaded pork cutlet). Sakura attempted to start a conversation or at least small talk for several minutes until the waiter came to their table.
"Are you ready to order?"
"How about the special, is that OK with you Sasuke-kun."
"Sure." the waiter left after scribbling the order down on a notepad. The waiter returned a few minutes later with two bowls and placed them in front.
"Compliments of the chef to the young couple." Sakura blushed at the waiter's words. Sasuke looked down at the salad.
"Me and Sakura a couple? Tch what foolishness." Even with those internally spoken words he couldn't stop thinking about it.
( Konoha streets)
WWWWWWHHHHHHAAAAATTTTT!!!!! Naruto yelled as he read the message on the shutter on the ramen stand
(the letter)
due to pest outbreak in the kitchen we are temporarily closed sorry
P.S. Naruto since I know you love my ramen your probably heart broken but I did you a favor at the address below is a very nice restaurant I made the arrangements with receptionist to have a table ready for you and don't worry I paid him in advance. It's good for you to try different food every now and then.
"well that was nice of him." Said Hinata softly.
" I guess" said Naruto with an annoyed look on him face.
"Well let's go." Naruto said while walking away from the closed ramen stand.
"Eating fancy food at a fancy restaurant with Naruto is this a date?" thought hinata who was now slightly blushing When they made it to the restaurant Naruto looked almost in awe that they were going to eat at a place that looked this expensive. When they walk in towards the receptionist desk.
"Excuse me, Sir? I'm Naruto Uzumaki, the old man at Ichiraku's ramen(i forgot his name) said he made a reservation for me? The receptionist took a picture out of his pocket then placed it back in.
"OK then now that I think about it your the second couple to come today actually can I ask you a question?"
"Umm I guess not but first why do you think we're a couple?"
"Oh you two aren't ... well it's because you're holding her hand since you walked in." Naruto saw that he hadn't let go of her since they left the forest. He let go of Hinata's hand looked away from her and blushed.
"Anyways what was your question." Naruto said still embarrassed
"Would you by any chance know a eccentric pink haired girl and a gloomy looking black haired boy whom are about your age?"
"Yeah their my friends Sasuke and Sakura, why?" "He described them way to well something is going on."
"Well they happen to be in this restaurant at this very moment."
" NO WAY HA, HA, HA, HA!"
"Was that Naruto?" Sakura turning around to look at the entrance
"Yeah." said Sasuke
"Quick turn away before he see--"
"too late he's walking this way." said Sasuke "What are the chances he had the money to eat here or even the ability to not go to that ramen stand."
"Hey Sasuke-kun, Sakura-chan what's up?"
"What are you doing here Naruto-kun?" asked Sakura
"Ichiraku was closed and since I'm his number one customer he made a reservation for me ... well now it's for me and Hinata."
"You and Hinata... You two are going out on a date too?!?" Sasuke cringed when Sakura said they were on a date.
"No nothing like that I was training and then I saw ... You two are on a date!?!" Naruto laughed and Sasuke grinned slightly because he caught what she said ... or so he told himself.
"Do you mind if we sit with you?" Naruto asked
"No but I would like to speak with Hinata in private." Hinata poked over Naruto's shoulder at the sound of her name.
"Oh there you are Hinata-chan would you mind coming with me?" Hinata nodded and followed her away from the table into the women's restroom.
"So is there something going on between you and Naruto come on you gotta tell me and what really happened that led to naruto asking you to come here." Sakura pretty much begging for something to gossip about later on. Hinata told her the what happened including the part with guy and the dream.
"Wow so you really do like him but you don't know how to tell him or show him I'm right aren't I. You don't even need to answer but I recommend that either you tell him directly or you leave him a bunch a clues that even with his stupidity he'll realize."
"But what if her doesn't return my feel--"
"He will I'm sure of it." Sakura said with a smile "Come on lets go back."
(to naruto and sasuke right after the girls left)
"Sit down Naruto."Sasuke said forcefully
"So how is you date going?" Naruto said with a snicker
"... What does love feel like?"
"Sasuke I'm not sure how I feels but I think it the warmth a person would feel when he saw the person he loved smile or a feeling that something was tearing your heart out when he saw his love sad. At least that's what I think." Naruto spoke with a serious and sad expression on his face
"you should get up the girls are coming back ... and good luck with your ichuu no onna(sorry i've been learning Japanese and I couldn't resist I wont tell you what it means well right now )" Naruto was confused but took his advice to get up. Everyone went to their respective when a waiter brought two big plates to their tables. Naruto stared at him put down the food.
"Hey wait we didn't even order yet." Naruto yelled at the waiter
"The man from Ichiraku picked this order for you and he asked for us to have it prepared in advance." naruto stared at the ton katsu(breaded pork culet) with a lemon cut in the shape of a heart on top. Both couples slowly began to eat.
"cute... Hinata ...Hinata cute... not cute ... Beautiful... Hinata is beautiful and it took a sour heart for me to notice."
"Sakura."
"yes Sasuke-kun?"
"could you smile for me?"
"What?" Sakura said giggling at the unusual request.
"So he was right."
"This is a little odd what could it mean"
"he's looking at me and he's smiling but it's not the smile he usually has what is it?"
"Finish up there is something I want to show you."
"OK."
"Whats going on it's like when I came out of the bathroom someone switched his personality"
"Is this what I've been waiting for ever since I've know him"
"OK I'm done lets go" Both couples got up from their tables and left in unison without saying a word to each other not because they didn't want to but because this night was going to be the most eventful night of their lives. When the waiter took their plates the only thing that was left on the plate was the heart shaped lemon
(Naruto and Sasuke's thoughts)
"I guess it's true when they say that there is a connection between...
... Feelings and Food."
DAMN I finally finished this freaking chapter although it really did drag along these scene was a very crucial part to my story and I really wanted to get a lot of the love realization through to get to the fighting faster so it couldn't be helped also I will end every single chapter the same way with the name of the chapter and Kakashi does play I fairly but role in my story but thats for later. I know that only the O.C. Was talking but the O.C. Will have a much bigger part on the next chapter. Until then ja ne
