Cover- Hinata and Naruto were sitting under a cherry blossom tree eating a picnic together. Naruto was waving his hand in the air explaining one of his missions while Hinata sat against the Sakura tree blushing and giggling with Naruto.Hinata pov
Dear Diary,
I'm starting this journal to tell of the things that happen while I'm with Naruto-kun. It's been one week since I moved with Naruto; and I haven't seen father. It's not like it matters its just I feel happy I won't see him again. I've been having a great time here, even though Naruto apartment is small its warm and peaceful here. I actually feel like I belong here with him. Naruto talking about training me he said (and I quote) "You are one of the strongest girls I know Hinata-chan so you can be a great training partner. We'll become the strongest shinobi's in all of Kohona!!"
We had some pretty embarrassing moments while I was here. Like when he only had one bed he said he'll sleep on the floor but I protested and said that I'll sleep on the floor. Then he said that I was his guest so he'll sleep on the floor and besides we can't both sleep on the bed; Neji would freak but he like to see the look on his face. He started to laugh picturing it but I blush thinking he suggesting we sleep on the same bed. Unfortunately, he noticed and started saying I didn't mean that, and that came out wrong.
We go to training with our teams so we leave at the time but Naruto comes home later then I do, so I cook dinner every time. I don't mind it's the least I could do for him for taking me in. He's said I'm a natural cook and when I cooked my homemade ramen he said it was better then Iraura. I was happy to see him happy he even looked happier with me here like I was the warm light that he could come home too. I still cry at night because of memories of momma but Naruto always calms me down till I fall asleep.
But later I started noticing that Naruto comes home gloomy and sad but automatically turn happy when he sees me. I ask him what was wrong he said it's nothing but I feel as though he was lying. But I knew something was wrong when I heard him said to me that he's happy that I'm here it feel as though he has someone waiting for him every time he comes home. And that every time he comes home in the past, he felt empty and alone in this house. Then I ask him if there's anything wrong again but he said it's nothing. I hate it when people lie to me, especially Naruto.
Present Ramen shop
"It's been awhile since I been here because of your Ramen Hinata-chan. I'll have three beef and what do want Hinata-chan?
"Naruto-kun you pick."
"Alright. I'll have three beef and one miso ramen please!!"
As they eat Naruto did most of the talking about training, their friends, and other events. Hinata listen to him but felt a little sad that Naruto didn't say anything about why was he sad when he comes home. But she ignored it. Then finally finish eating and left too look around a bit. As they pass Hinata notice that people were giving him glares and cold stares but he ignored them. After awhile Hinata had enough,
"Naruto-kun why do people always glare at you, its not like you did anything wrong"
"It's nothing!" Naruto said giving her a fake grin
Hinata stop walking and faced Naruto, "Naruto-kun why are you lying? Is that you don't trust me…"
"But I'm not lying Hinata-chan and I do trust you."
"Then why aren't you telling me the truth? I know when your lying Naruto-kun because you don't lie."
"I-"
"Naruto-kun why won't you tell me, what's wrong. Naruto-kun you know you can tell me anything but why won't you tell me what's wrong…"
"Hinata-chan I can't tell you even if I want to, listen I'm sorry but I just can't"
Hinata walk up to him and didn't anything for a minute but looked at him, which scared him then smiled at him, "Ok Naruto-kun I'll wait until your ready to tell me the whole story but that doesn't mean I'll stop metalling. It the meantime, Lets go home" She held her hand out and Naruto grab it. He grinned at her and ran home with a smiling Hinata.
Naruto stop half way though as though something hit his head. He turned pale and ran in a different direction. And put Hinata on his back, Hinata got worried, "Naruto-kun what's wrong this time you look scare", "That's not it, don't you remember obaa-chan said every genin team must meet in her office today by four o'clock for a mission briefing!!"
"OH-NO!! I forgot I totally spaced out!! Were going to be late!!"
"And I promise obaa-chan that I'll be on time for once if I don't…well lets not think of that! What time is it?!" Naruto said running for dear life, literary dragging Hinata with him,
Hinata look it the stores they passed and then found one with a clock inside. Her eyes widen in fear she faced Naruto again, "IT'S 3:58!"
"CRAP!! Hang on Hinata-chan I'm about to put charka in my feet to go faster" Naruto did a few hand signs and became faster while Hinata held on tighter to his back. Naruto turn red and almost faint when he felt Hinata's chest press against him hard. 'Why am I like this I'm not a pervert!! Not a pervert, not a pervert, not a pervert!!'
Meanwhile at the Hokage tower
"He's about to be late again the dope" Sasuke said looking at the clock
"He's even later than I am…well not really but I'm smart enough to know when and not to be late," Kakashi said reading his book in the corner
"Hinata not here either its not like her to be late too. I swear if Naruto did something to Hinata I'll kill him!!!" Kiba said really angry
"Clam down Kiba." Shino said adjusting his sunglasses.
"NARUTO IF YOU DON'T IN ONE MINUTE I'LL-" Tsunade said banging her hands to the table scaring everyone
"Hey what's that dust of cloud its like a tornado" Tenten said looking out the window
Everyone look out the window to see the cloud of dust come in the door.
With Naruto And Hinata
"Naruto-kun hurry we're almost there!"
They saw the Hokage tower right in front of them. Naruto ran inside and up the stairs really fast. Finally they reach the door and Naruto pulled in open and fell to the floor flat on his face panting really hard with Hinata on top of his back. Everyone stared at them.
"S-sorrypantwerecoughlatechoke"
"Maybe I should explain Naruto-kun, you catch your breath," she said getting off him as Naruto nod weakly. She stands-up, smiling nervously.
"Sorry were late. Naruto-kun," point at him as he was on the floor breathing hard "and I forgot about the meeting today and well you see we, Naruto, ran as he can to get here and…" she scratch temple nervously
Everyone couldn't hold it anymore everyone started laughing to tears while Neji, Sasuke, Shino, Shikamaru and Kakashi with the rest of the Jonin smirked.
"Hey pantthat's not funny coughI ran across the town wheeze with charka in my feet pantin one min flat chokeyou'll be tired to you known!!!"
"Ok Naruto I believe you but it's so damn funny!!!" Tsunade said laughing but trying to hold it in yet failed. After a minute of laugher everyone calm down and was reduces to giggles.
"Am I in trouble or what?" Naruto finally regaining his breathe.
"Naruto your not in trouble you made it right on time as for Hinata I'm surprised she actually forgot I thought only Naruto did that. Naruto must be rubbing off on her."
Hinata blushed a bit and smiled while Naruto said, "Oh be quiet obaa-chan"
"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT!!!!"
Naruto counted with his finger "About 729 times"
Tsunade punch him on the head hard "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!!!"
"OUCH!!" Naruto said rubbing his bump
Hinata started to laugh a little then Naruto look at her "Hey I thought you were on my side…" he pretend to sulk
Hinata laughed a little harder and said, "I am but you got to admit that was pretty funny"
"Yeah well it's easy for you to say," Naruto said as he rubbed his bump again. Everyone raised an eyebrow at the scene.
"Ooooh Hinata n Naruto sitting in the tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G-" Ino sang making Hinata and Naruto blush hard then Sakura bang her in the head to stop, "-OUCH!!! Hey that hurt forehead-girl!"
"Serves you right Ino-pig; you're embarrassing them" Sakura scolded but the inner self yelled in her mind 'Hinata and Naruto well be together in no time and he'll get off my back but that will never happen if Ino-pig keeps embarrassing them CHA!!'
"Anyway were behind schedule let's get started on this mission briefings so I can go back to sleep" Tsunade said yawning while everyone sweat dropped.
About an hour or so the meeting was finally over. Hinata pov.
After the meeting was finally over everyone started to leave to their mission but me because Tsunade said that because of the events over the pass week I should take a break for a while. Of course I protested but in vain, she didn't hear it. So I was stuck in the house until Naruto comes home which could take forever. I sighed to myself as Tsunade continue.
"-Ok that is all you may leave"
Everyone left in a matter of second. But Naruto said he wouldn't have fun unless I was happy too. I knew he was trying to make me fell better and it worked to. Finally after Naruto left I was the only one left at the Hokage's office. There was something that I wanted to ask Tsuede because Naruto wouldn't tell me. I approach her desk in a nice manner and began to talk to her,
"Hmm… Tsunade-sama there is something important I wish to ask you"
She looked up to me "What is it? It better not be about giving you a mission because you really need a break-"
"No that's not it; it's Naruto-kun"
"What about Naruto?"
"Naruto-kun is keeping something from me. Over the pass week I've seen a side of Naruto-kun that I've never seen before. People give him glares, he sad when he comes home but not when he knows I'm watching, and he lied to me saying it nothing but there's something. Tsunade-sama tells me what's going on! Please! I'm just tried of being it the dark!"
Tsunade was shock at this but look at me with a sad smile "Listen, Hinata, Have you suggested that Naruto may be protecting you by not telling you," I shook my head "Hinata look Naruto keeping something from the entire Kohona younger generation. And all I can tell you that this secret keeps Naruto to have friends and loved ones. He thinks that if this secret were out that his friends would turn there back on him. He thinks that he might lose you-"
"No" Tsunade look at me "I don't care what this secret is but I know I will never turn my back on him. He gave me strength, courage, friends, family, a place to stay, and taught me the way of the ninja. He gave me so many things that I cannot ever return and I will never turn on my nindo way. So I don't care what he's hiding as long as he here with me." I head to the door
"Hinata thank you." I stop dead in my tracks and turn to see Tsunade wipe a tear from her eye "Naruto is like a little brother to me and I'm happy he has such a loyal friend he can count on"
"There is no reason to thank me"
"But-"
"No, Tsunade-sama, I would give my life for Naruto-kun because I-I am in love with Naruto-kun. I listen to my heart and my heart tells me that. Goodbye Tsunade-sama see you tomorrow." At this I ran out of the room then walked home.
"Hinata you are some girl" Tsunade said smiling turning around.
At Naruto house ((A/N: Or should I say Naruto and Hinata house ;) ))
Hinata finally made it home after awhile to see that Naruto wasn't there yet. She lay on the bed staring at the ceiling, she felt like the room was spinning. She couldn't help but think about what Naruto was keeping from her. Finally after awhile she got up and walks to the bathroom to slash her face with some water.
She stared down the sink as water drip off her face still thinking the her inner self yelled at her,'Get a hold of yourself Hinata whatever Naruto keeping from you must be important to him so you have to respect that!!!' But then felt something inside her coat. She reaches inside her coat and pulled out the tape Tenten record them on. She walked out of the bathroom to the TV and put in rewind to the beginning then took a seat and press play.
It started when Tenten talking on it:
"Hey is this thing on well anyway my name is Tenten I'm 14 years old and my dream is becoming The best weapon Mistress in all of Kohona. I have tons of friend here to first one is Neji Hyuga. He's super cute, smart, strong, and cool I guess I that's why I like him," 'Knew it' Hinata thoughtTenten moved the camera to show Neji in the distance then back to her. "My second friend name is Rock Lee. He really crazy at time but is really powerful yet creepy looking." She then turned it to lee who was training in the distance he yelled "Tenten what's that?" she turn it to her and said very quickly "Well got togobeforeLeebreaksyoubye!!!"
Hinata laughed a little at this but it continued:
It shut off but turns back on but at a different place.
"Ok I'm back I'm here to talk about my other friends like team 10, team 8, and team 7. Well team 10 is the funniest team ever like Ino Yamanaka, Leader of team 10 yet the most temperamental girl of all of Kohona. She pretty strong and smart at times." She turns to Ino who was arguing with Shikamaru again. "That guy she's fighting with is named Shikamaru Nara, known as the most laziest and smartest Shinobi in all Kohona. He's master his own jujus of shadows or something and likes to watch clouds a lot. They make a cute couple but they argue so much to notice" She turns to Chouji who was watching them eating a bag of chips "That's Chouji he is well…Chouji. He eats a lot because he suppose to because of his in clan. He's like a time bomb when someone calls him…fat." She turn it back to them but Ino spotted her and started yelling, "You better not be recording this Tenten come back here!!!" Tenten began to run away saying, "well it's been fun butIgottogoagainbye!!!"
Hinata started to laugh harder yet it still continue:
It shut off again and turns back on again but at a different place but Tenten was in the bushes. "Back again this time I'm here to talk about my friends from team 8. Team 8 is a strange yet fun to be around group. Well team 8 is the quietest team ever but Kiba is second loudest kid in Kohona next to Naruto. Kiba is the leader of team 8, he funny at times and has a dog name Arkamaru, which he uses as a fighting partner." She turned to Kiba as he talked to Hinata "That girl he's talking to is Hinata Hyuga the Mistress of the Hyuya clan. But she is the nicest girl in all of Kohona and she really strong too. I can't help but feel sorry for because she's in love with Naruto everyone can tell but him if I were I'll kill him." she turned to Shino as he watch some bugs pass by "That's Shino he'd a bug master as in he control bugs and they live inside of him gross much. He really powerful by using he bugs in battle." Shino turned in her direction; Hinata could actually feel her shivering when he said, "Who's there?" and sending a squad of bugs to check it out. Tenten ran for dear life "OH NO reallygottagoBYE!!!!"
Hinata was really laughing hard this time that she almost went to tears again it continue:
It shut off again and turns back on again but at a different place but Tenten was in a tree. "Finally I'm back to finish the last of my friends Team 7. Team 7 is the strongest rookie team in Kohona. Team 7 is a loud and funny team. The girl on team 7 is Sakura Haruno she is the smartest rookie Kunoichi in Kohona. She got a major crush on Sasuke and is immature to at times. She got stronger after the chunin exams too" She turned to Sakura as she to talk to Sasuke or at least tried too anyway. "That guy Sasuke Uchiha the number one rookie like Neji. He's similar to Neji to because there are very strong and cold but Sasuke is more closed off than Neji" Then she turns it back to her "Naruto is in this team. He's the most immature person I ever met yet very strong and serious at times. Yet no matter how much people dislike him they can't help but get over because Naruto has a good heart and makes people smile all the time. But he loves ramen I can tell you that. He always had this dream about being Hokage so people can stop disrespecting him but everyone feels its something more than that." She then turned to Naruto who was yelling at Sasuke to fight with him and being Hokage again. Then pointed at her up the tree; Tenten blood turned cold when Sasuke glared at her she ran off before anything else happen "Bye gottagoagain!!!"
Hinata didn't laugh this time. 'Maybe the secret has to do with the reason he want to become Hokage; in that case he wants to be notice as the best not the worse. To be known as something not something else… that's it! Naruto wants to be Hokage because people think of him as something other than himself so he wants to be acknowledged as the greatest Hokage ever instead of what? What is the thing he doesn't want to be known as? Is that the secret? Of the thing that he isn't?' Her thoughts ponder her head and when back to the TV.
This time in show everyone running in the rain but Naruto to the river. 'This must be the part when then record us' Hinata thought.
"Hey
Tenten why do you have to bring that video camera again" Neji said
looking at it as she turn it on. "Because if this turn out to be
good I want to see it again Naruto should see Hinata by now. This can
be romance I don't want to miss this." She had stars in her eyes,
"What Naruto better not laid a hand on my cousin!!!" Neji speed
up everyone sweat drop, "Calm down Neji or I'll have to hold you
down again!!" "Fine…"
"Hey there Hinata down there by the river!" Sakura yelled, "Lets go in the bushes hurry Naruto's coming!" Ino said. They hurry to the bushes and watched. They saw Naruto came up to her and gave her a hug. "Neji stop moving I'm trying to record this!" Tenten hissed at Neji as he tried to move. Hinata began to sob on his chest like before and Naruto wiped away her tears and whispered something in her ear.
"Who knew Naruto could romance even Sakura and Ino are crying" Tenten whisper loud enough for them to hear. Everyone looked at Sakura and Ino as anime tears ran down their face.
Naruto began to tell Hinata what really happen at the hospital after she left. Everyone was surprised at what he really did. Naruto finishing telling her the story but didn't know that everyone follow them. Hinata just stare at him wide eyed. She just stared at him with disbelief; she was on the verge of tears again. But instead hugged him tighter.
"Y-you did a-all of that for m-me that's the n-nicest thing a-anyone has ever d-done for me" they head her say
"It was nothing but I'm sorry about mom was she precious to you?" he said with a smile on his face
At this Hinata fell silent. And her tears started too flow hard and her hands ball up in a fist.
"Oh-no here in comes everybody Hinata about explode!" Tenten whisper.
"Hinata?"
"WHY HER OF ALL PEOPLE IT ISN'T FAIR!!! SHE WAS THE ONLY PERSON WHO EVER CARED ABOUT M-ME AND NOW SHE'S G-GONE!!!" Suddenly Hinata pound fist in Naruto chest sobbing again it didn't hurt Naruto though. Naruto hugged her tighter until she stops hitting him but she was still cried.
"Wow since when does Hinata yell like that" Kiba whisper. "How should I know and shut-up Naruto talking and I can't hear him." Tenten hissed again.
"Hinata-chan don't ever say that," she looked up at him "you have people here who care about to Sakura-chan, Ino, Tenten, Shikamaru, Couji, Shino, Kiba, Lee, even Sasuke and Neji care about you… I care about you" she stops crying, "You are one of my precious people no matter what and that will never change. I bet that your mom wanted to be happy; she may be gone but that doesn't mean that no cares about you, that she doesn't want you to give up."
"Naruto-kun…thank you for everything your right I know mom will always watching over me from now on I'm going to stronger just for her…" she smile at him
"Good for Hinata-chan and you didn't stutter; you know what you can stay with me!!" Naruto said grinning like mad
"Really?" Hinata was surprise yet happy
"Yes really!"
"Thank you so much Naruto-kun!!!" at this Hinata was so happy that she jumped on Naruto causing her to fall and top of laughing. Naruto was shocked at first but hearing her laugh made him laugh too soon they were on the ground laughing together.
"Come on guys lets make are appearance" Tenten said wipe baby tear out of her eyes. The boys sweat drop and shook their heads thinking 'women'. But they soon cheered and clapped from the bushes and Hinata and Naruto stop laughing. The rain stop and the moon came out.
"Hey who's there?!" Hinata called out she was mad for someone for ruining there moment.
"Wow Hinata a little temperamental I see" Kiba yelled teasing her
Then everyone came out of the bushes smiling while the girl had tears in there eyes. "That was so romance" Ino said with tissues in her eyes, Shikamaru sigh and mumble "Troublesome" under his breath but when Ino heard and hit him but Shikamaru just smirked.
"That's got to be the most romance scene ever!" Sakura said biting a tissue hard with anime tears. Sasuke just looked at her and sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Good thing I got that on tape" Tenten said wiping tears in eyes holding a video camera. "I had to hold Neji back from beating up Naruto for hugging his precious cousin too" She said giggling
"Naruto get off my cousin NOW!!!" Neji was trying to break free and hit Naruto but the guys hold him down.
Both Hinata and Naruto looked at each other and blink at the problem then they both turned beet red and climb off each other. We everyone started laughing then Hinata got up and a dark aura surrounded her, which scared everyone.
"WHO SAID YOU COULD INTERRUPTE AND RECORD US!!!!!" Hinata chase Tenten, to get the video, which was running for her dear life. "Don't just stand their help me!!" everyone sweat drop
"Give me that tape Tenten and I promise I won't hurt you…much" Hinata voice was like venom which scared everyone especially Tenten.
Then the video cut off; Hinata just stare at the TV with a smile on her face thinking 'Well it may not be awhile til I learn what Naruto keeping from me but I'll wait just for him' Her eye started to close 'I wait until he can trust me. Well until then I'll wait…' Hinata eyes fully close and fell in a peaceful sleep but the smile remained on her face.
I'll wait an eternity. Just for you, because I love you.
That's it for chapter one I hope you guys like it there may be two more chapters after this if I get reviews!!
