Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, though I do own Ren'ai.
A/N Well I'm back again and I know it's only been two days but I love the idea of fast-paced updates. As such I decided to make the next chapter while I'm in school. See, my home computer Doesn't have Microsoft word… I deleted it. No this wasn't on purpose it was a mistake though, we don't have a disk to re-install it. As such I'll probably be writing most of my chapters at school.
Oh, it seems we don't have any Reviews… well I hope that changes soon.
Chapter 2: Naruto's house party.
//Naruto has Visitors\\
Naruto had finally completed his chores and decided he'd take a break in the living area, Closing the door behind him gently as to not wake up his daughter and to filter out any would-be loud noises. Naruto would sigh. "It's good to be home."
He thought to himself knowing that there were still a lot of people who didn't care if he were gone or not. In fact, it was because of the vast amount of haters that he agreed to leave for training to begin with, Naruto simply wanted to prove to them he could become a great ninja.
With jiraiya's teachings and naruto's will, everything had gone according to plan. Save for one thing, naruto was missing something. However, Naruto simply ignored the fact and instead made his way to the couch where he would be sleeping… though to his surprise there was someone else occupying it. "Neji, Shikumaro, Chouj?!" Naruto shouted out startled a bit to see that three of his comrades were sitting in a couch that belonged to him.
"Oh, hi Naruto." Shikumaro spoke up as if he hadn't intruded at all. "what are you three doing here?" Naruto would ask his question hoping for a better answer than what he had gotten… though it was a surprise as to who it came from. ""Isn't it obvious, we're here to be with you during your first night back to konoha. Look around naruto we've brought food and drinks.. your favorite Ramen!".
Naruto's ears perked just like that of a dog to the name of his all time favorite dish. Though just when he turned around to see who it was that had been speaking, he met nose to nose with hinata. "he-hey t—the-there- na-ru-to-kun…". Hinata's pale cheeks once again began to show a rather lightly tinted pink flush across her cheeks.
Naruto's thoughts began to race he wasn't blushing like Hinata was and wasn't moving either… he simply stood there staring blankly into her eyes. "What is this feeling… Why does it seem to only happen around Hinata.. Do I like her? Love her? What is this….".
Naruto's thoughts put him into a puzzled state even forcing his outer appearance to give off such expression. "Naruto, I brought you a g--". Hinata spoke up though interrupted by a sudden feel of pressure against her lips.
When she looked up to see what was going on.. it was naruto… "Naruto… is.. kissing me?... oh naruto-kun." She didn't blush not this time.. Instead her blush subsided and she began to return the favor. Both their eyes were shut tight and hinata's arms moved to wrap around his neck… while naruto's hands gently held her waist. "I don't know why I'm doing this.. and still don't know why I feel this way… but the feeling is great…" Naruto's thoughts continued as the kiss did.
However, unknown to them they had an entire living-area full of watching eyes. Neji, Chouji, and Shikumaro all gawked from the couch while.. Sakura, Lee, Kakashi, and Tsunade gawked from their standing positions by the front door. At least this was until Tsunade desided to break it up. "Ahem, Naruto you have company and Hinata what do you think you're doing?"
Of course the only thing Naruto and Hinata heard was their names and as such became startled only to quickly turn away form each other blushing. "i-uh—um—i…" They both spoke as if they read each others thoughts.. at the same time and with the same vocal frequency.
//The Dinner\\
"It's fine, it has been a while since the two of you met. Though, I wonder why Naruto suddenly began to act affectionate.." Again the Godaime spoke though her loud bellowing voice caught naruto's attention.
"Shh please tsunade-sama? My daughter Ren'ai is asleep in the back room." Hinata simply stood there dumbfounded toning out the conversation. "Oh, we, apologies Naruto-kun."
Though it was only her who had been loud… naruto didn't mind. Instead he simply nodded giving off a kind smile before sitting at the food-filled table. "wow, thanks you guys. It's like a feast".
"A feast for who, you or us? You could eat more than anyone I know.. well.. save for chouji. Sakura couldn't help but tease at Naruto.. it had been so long since the day he left and she simply wanted to make him feel at home though chouji didn't like the comment all too well.
"Hey, why did you have to include me?" he'd shout at her though in return only got a bunch of laughing. Chouji couldn't stay mad and instead began laughing as well… naruto soon after….
However, despite all the laughing and cheering Hinata was still dumbfounded and had drifted into thought. "Does Naruto-kun Like me? Is it more than just friendship.. why did he kiss me? Oh Naruto-kun… I remember.. watching you from behind a tree so long ago.. how far have we come since then Naruto?". "Hinata! Hina-" "Hinata! Come on, the food will get cold if you just stand there!" naruto had shouted out to her hoping to force her out of the daze she seemed to be in.. t
hough he caught himself.. he hoped that Ren'ai didn't wake. She had a really rough trip and needed her rest. "Huh? Oh, yes.. sorry.. coming!" Hinata shouted just below her breath before stepping over to the table where everyone but her had finally sat to eat.
//Ren'ai's awake\\
Naruto saved the spot on his right just for her.. and she sat in said spot as if it were second nature to her. After she had sat at the table questions about Naruto's training and experiences during the last three years would come up.
They all ate and conversed with each other about said questions for about an hour until a door creaked open. Everyone turned to stare looking for who or what might have opened the door only to hear a little girls voice. "Daddy, I'm scared.. where are you daddy?" It was Ren'ai.
Naruto stood out of his chair and walked over to the little girl.. picking her up so he could hold her in attempt to comfort her in the only way he knew how. "There there, it's okay… you don't have to be scared."
This was the first time anyone had ever seen Naruto act so gentle and careing. In fact, it left most everyone save for Hinata staring. Hinata would be the only one to know how naruto actually acted. After all, she did basicly watch him and almost everything he had done.
Naruto turned around towards the group of people smiling lightly with eyes shifting to and from the front door… letting them know they should leave. "Daddy, a big scary man is back there daddy."
The first person to stand and leave was Kakashi following him Tsunade and when everyone Finally left naruto would kiss the top of Ren'ai's head. "Okay hun, I'll sleep next to you so that no scary man can harm you."
Ren'ai seemed to struggle a bit before relaxing.. believing her father could protect her from said "scary man". As Naruto made his way towards the back room.
A/N Yup, that's it for the second chapter.. The next chapter is where a lot of naruto's troubles begin… Well.. Please leave reviews I'm working hard on this Story!
