NaruHina: Chapter 3: New Things are Happening.
It was a peaceful afternoon in Konoha. Naruto was walking Hinata back to the Hyuga compound. Before reaching the Hyuga compound, Hinata stopped Naruto. "What's wrong Hinata," Naruto asked and Hinata replied, "I d-don't w-want m-my f-father t-to f-find o-out t-that I w-was w-with y-you." "Why is that," Naruto asked and Hinata answered, "M-My f-father d-does n-not l-like y-you a-and I d-don't w-want a-any t-trouble t-to h-happen." "I guess I understand, so do you want to hangout tomorrow after the team meeting," Naruto said and Hinata replied, "T-That s-sounds g-good t-to m-me. I-I'll c-come a-and f-find y-you t-tomorrow N-Naruto." "Ok," Naruto answered and Hinata said, "W-Well g-good n-night N-Naruto." "Good night Hinata," Naruto replied and then Naruto and Hinata kissed each other before Hinata left. Naruto watch Hinata as walked back to the Hyuga compound. Naruto turned around and headed back to his apartment smiling. Hinata was sneaking back into the Hyuga compound main house without being notice. She was able to get to bedroom. She lay on the bed and thinking about all that happen. 'I can not believe that Naruto told me that he loves me and kiss me,' Hinata thought and then inner Hinata replied, 'you better believe it girl and he is also your boyfriend as well.' Hinata's face became red when inner Hinata said that. Hinata decided to go ahead and get changed for bed. Naruto was enjoying the afternoon breeze as he walked home and thinking about his date with Hinata. 'I can not believe that I never notice her when I was at the academy, before I left the on my trip with Jiraiya Sensei, and when I returned,' Naruto thought and then the Kyuubi said, 'You was always chasing that pink hair girl, so I can believe it, Kid.' 'You do have a point there Kyuubi,' Naruto replied and the Kyuubi asked, 'Why are you not yelling at me to shut up and leave you alone Kid?' 'I guess I am in to good in a mood to care,' Naruto answered and the Kyuubi just smiles. Naruto walked up to his apartment and enters it as he heads for his bedroom to get changed for bed. At the Hyuga compound main house, Hinata started to drift to sleep while she thought of Naruto. Back at Naruto's apartment, Naruto started to dream about Hinata. (You have got to admit that they have it bad.)
Morning came and Naruto got out of bed to get change for his team meeting. Naruto had a quick breakfast and was out of the apartment making sure it was lock. As Naruto walked, he noticed a beautiful lavender flower on the ground growing by a pole and he picked it up. Naruto remember that Hinata like flower pressing from when they was talking at Ichiraku Ramen shop yesterday and thought that Hinata might like it. Naruto place it in his pocket carefully and continued to his team meeting location. Hinata got up and went to go change. Hinata had a quick breakfast and was out the door. Hinata was all excited that she is going to hangout with Naruto today. Naruto made it to his team meeting location to see Kakashi, who was actually early for once, Sakura, and Sai. "Hey guys," Naruto said as he walked up to his team. "How was your date yesterday Naruto," Kakashi asked and Naruto replied, "It was really good." "Who was the girl that you meet yesterday," Sakura asked and Naruto replied as his face blush, "I was meeting with Hinata Hyuga." Sakura and Kakashi was both shock by what Naruto said. "Are you serious Naruto and why her," Sakura asked still shock and Naruto replied, "I am serious and she is a sweet girl." Kakashi was smiling under his mask, but it hard to tell if he is ever smiling under his mask. "I guess that means you won't be asking Sakura," Kakashi said and Naruto answered, "Nope and beside every time I ask her out I get punched. Sakura is just to mean with her man strength." Then Naruto felt an angry aura behind him. Naruto slowly turns around and sees Sakura cracking her knuckles with a look on her face that said I am going to kill you. Sweat went down the side of Naruto's face while saying, "I'm sorry. I forgot that you were here Sakura." "SHUT YOUR MOUTH NARUTO. I'M AM GOING TO KILL YOU FOR THAT COMMENT THAT YOU SAID ABOUT ME," Sakura yell as walked closer to Naruto. Sakura came at Naruto step by step and inch by inch. Naruto took off running and screaming, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sakura took off after him with anger. "I guess we are doing nothing today," Sai said as he stops drawing and Kakashi answered, "I guess so. I will see the team tomorrow." Kakashi walked off while reading his book and Sai went back to drawing.
Hinata met with her team and they noticed that she was in a joyful mood. "You appear to be in a good mood today Hinata," Kiba said that was followed by a bark from Akamaru and then Shino said, "Something good must have happen to you to be happy like that." Hinata nodded her head with a smile and then Kurenai asked, "Who is the guy?" "I-It i-is N-Naruto," Hinata replied shyly and Kiba and Kurenai was shock, but for Shino he did not show no emotion. "How did this happen," Kiba asked and Hinata explain to her team when Naruto saved her and the date and how Naruto told her that he loves her yesterday, but left out the part about the Kyuubi being sealed in Naruto. "So that what happen," Kurenai said and Shino added, "Good for you Hinata." "C-Can y-you p-promise m-me t-that y-you w-won't t-tell a-anyone e-else a-and t-that i-includes m-my f-father," Hinata asked and Kiba, Shino, and Kurenai nodded their heads. Then all of suddenly they heard a scream. "That almost sounded like Naruto," Kiba said and then they saw Naruto running with a very angry Sakura running after him. "N-Naruto n-needs m-my h-help," Hinata said and before her team could stop her she was gone. Naruto turn a corner and then something grabs him from the alley with their hand on his mouth. Naruto turned to see who was and to his surprised it was Hinata who had saved him. But before they could talk there was an angry Sakura that ran by the alley and she not even brother looking the alley. She just kept on running. Hinata remove her hand from Naruto's mouth and Naruto said, "Thanks for the save Hinata." "N-No p-problem N-Naruto," Hinata replied as she blushed and then both her and Naruto shared a kiss. When they bloke their kiss and they looked at each other with a smile.
Naruto looked out of the alley to see if the coast was clear and both him and Hinata walked out of the alley and turned down the street. Naruto remember the flower that he found. Naruto carefully took the flower out his pocket and gave it to Hinata. "I found this flower when I leaving to go and met my team and I remember that you said that you like flower pressing yesterday," Naruto said as he gave Hinata the flower and she replied, "T-Thank y-you N-Naruto. I-It i-is v-very b-beautiful." "When I saw the lavender color on the flower? It made me think of you," Naruto said with a smile that made Hinata blush red and she replied, "Awww. T-That's s-so s-sweet o-of y-you t-to s-say." Then Naruto heard a familiar voice that sent chills down his spine. Naruto turned around to see Sakura running at him with anger in her eyes and Naruto quickly said to Hinata, "Sorry that I could not spend more time with you today but I will make it up to you tomorrow." Naruto gave Hinata a kiss on her cheek and he took off running for his life with Sakura chasing him.
Meanwhile somewhere else in Konoha, there was a male leaf ninja escorting a female sand ninja to the Hokage's office. "Why are you here in the Konoha any way Temari," Shikamaru asked and Temari replied, "Gaara asked me to deliver a message to the Hokage of Konoha and I also have my own reason for volunteering for this mission." Shikamaru and Temari continue to walk to the Hokage's office. Shikamaru and Temari finally reached the Hokage's office and Shikamaru was about to head back to his apartment, but stopped when Temari asked him to wait for her when she finish her business with the Hokage because she need to talk to him. As Shikamaru waited for Temari, he was talking to himself a little, "Man I wonder what she wants to talk to me about any way. This is such a drag. I bet she will ask me for something. Girls are always so troublesome." A few minutes pass and Temari came out of the Hokage's office. "That is all taken care of," Temari said and Shikamaru asked, "What did you want to talk to me about any way?" Temari turn her face from Shikamaru, so he did not see her face blushing. "What is wrong with you," Shikamaru asked and then he heard Temari say, "I realize that I kind of like you a lot." Before Shikamaru could respond Temari planted a kiss on him. They just stood there kissing for a while. When they broke their kiss and just look into each others eyes for a while. "You want to go somewhere quite to continue at," Shikamaru asked and Temari nodded her head. Shikamaru and Temari walked to one of Shikamaru's quite spots that he take his naps at.
Hinata was enter the Hyuga compound main house and was walking towards her bedroom when she was stopped by her father. "Why weren't here for dinner yesterday," Hiashi asked and Hinata replied, "I w-was h-hanging o-out w-with an f-friend y-yesterday a-and w-when I g-got b-back I w-was n-not v-very h-hungry." "Who was you with yesterday," Hiashi asked and Hinata answered, "I w-was w-with K-Kiba a-and w-we w-were t-talking a-about t-training." "I expect to see you at the dinner tonight," Hiashi said and Hinata replied, "Y-Yes f-faster." Hiashi walked off and Hinata thought, 'I am glad that he did that lie about Kiba. If he found out that I was with Naruto he would be mad at me for lying and for hanging out with him.' Hinata continued to walk to her bedroom. Once in her room she grabs a book off the bookshelf and opens it. The book contains different press flowers and when she found a blank page. She places the flower that she received for Naruto on the black page, and then she took a pencil and 'I Love You Naruto.' Hinata carefully closed the book and put the book back on the bookshelf. Hinata went to the bathroom to wash up for dinner and while she did all she thought about was Naruto. Meanwhile Naruto was entering his apartment and he drop on his bed. 'I can't believe that Sakura was not able to hit me,' Naruto thought. 'Maybe it is because you are in love with that blue hair girl and not that pink hair girl, Kid,' the Kyuubi replied. 'That has got to be the reason, but I am so tried from running all over Konoha with Sakura chasing me,' Naruto said. Naruto got up off the bed went to the bathroom for a shower before eating dinner. After Naruto finished dinner, he went over to his bed and fell asleep as he dreamt of Hinata.
