Author- O.M.G. I am so sorry. My father got transferred so of course my internet got stolen away from me. I wrote a Author's note informing about this but it seems it didn't get posted! So I am terribly sorry and I actually feel a whole lot bad. This moving and everything and being in a new country got me stressed and now I am in a new school (which trust me is always creepy if u are new….). So my updates will be slower but for now please enjoy the chapter. Again I apologise to all of you.

P.S.- I don't own Naruto nii….(sad face)
Chapter 3-
When Naruto woke up, his head seemed to hurt. What's more his 'family jewels' seemed to pain a little it too. As he looked around him, he noticed that he was in the girl's hotel room and there was a wet cloth and some warm soup beside his bed. As he was recovering from his confused state, he heard a soft voice.
"Ah! Naruto kun, you finally woke up!"
Hinata looked all worried over him. She was carrying a bowl of water, probably for him, and her eyes was filled with concern. Naruto also noticed that she had changed in a tight white shirt and a three-quarter pant. Her hair was in a bun and over all she looked pretty cute…
W…wait what am I thinking. I am must have been knocked out pretty well.
"Hinata…what happened? My memory seems fuzzy." Naruto asked as he ran his hand through his hair.
"Um, Naruto kun you see, we were playing beach volley-ball and then Sasuke-kun and you got in a fight. Then the misunderstanding got bigger and you got hit with the ball in the…
"Oh! I remember now Hinata chan, damn that Sasuke teme is going to get it from me. I am going rip his bal.."
At this Hinata fidgeted nervously.
"Wait! It was not Sasuke kun's fault…it was me who had hurt you this bad…" As Hinata confessed, tears welled up in her eyes. She could not face Naruto anymore. Not after what she did! He must be so angry with her now.
"Hinata chan, it was not your fault. Also I think it was really brave of you to react back like that. I never knew you were this strong! I mean it seriously hurts there!" Naruto said reassuringly as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.
Hinata still was not convinced. She was sure Naruto was feeling pity on her. More tears sprang up in her eyes.
Naruto looked at Hinata, his serene blue eyes observing her. Now she looked like a little puppy who needed to be hugged with love and kisses. She really did get worked up in the littlest of things. However that is what he liked about Hinata, who was always so kind and helpful but also had a strong heart. So Naruto did the thing he could do at this moment.
He hugged her. Tightly.
Hinata gasped as she felt a pair of strong arms wrapping her. She was immediately pulled closed to his chest with his head on top of hers.
"Hinata, don't fret over these things. I am your friend, there is no way I will feel bad. I don't want you to cry, it makes my heart ache." Naruto said huskily.
"But…" Hinata said as she gently pushed Naruto back a little already missing his warmth.
Her eyes seemed big and doughy and the way she was looking up at him, it made Naruto skip a beat.
"No buts Hinata." He said gently as he carefully brushed away Hinata's tears.
"NOW…. Let's go and beat up Sasuke's ass! You can also help me with that move of yours! I will pressure Kurama to help me as well."
I will do it anyway child. That Uchiha brat needs some medicine from me.
Naruto hmphed at that
Hinata giggled. Her voice seemed so angelic and innocent.
Damn what is happening to me? I am getting these strange thoughts about Hinata. Do I like her? NO….no way I love Sakura chan and Sakura chan only. Yeah, Hinata is my friend. That's why I am concerned over her.
He immediately jumped up from his bed, his super energetic self already back.
"Let's go Hinata! Sakura chan must be waiting for me, ne?"
Hinata's smile dropped at that. Here she was hoping that Naruto might finally see her more than a friend only to be proven wrong.
Naruto noticed her change of expressions. Her jovial self suddenly dimmed.
"What happened Hinata?"
"Nothing Naruto kun. I was just worried about your health. It's just you suddenly woke up with so much energy." Hinata looked at the ground.
"Ahh, Hinata I am sorry if I made you worried! It's because…
Hinata intercepted him.
"It's okay Naruto kun. This who you are, always full of energy and brightness. After all never giving up is your way. I am actually pleased that you seem so happy. Your brightness, brightened my day."
The whole time Hinata had a sincere smile on her face. Naruto could only stare at her. It was almost like he was her sun. However that's not possible.
...
Right?
Hinata quickly turned away from him, her heart in contentment.
"Let's go Naruto kun. Sakura chan must be waiting for you."
"'Oh…yea. Sakura chan is..."
When Hinata and Naruto joined their friends, they were up for a big surprise.
Tenten was holding Neji hand which was surprising since Neji never let anyone hold his hand except Hinata. What was more surprising was that Neji seemed to be blushing, which until today seemed impossible since the stoic one never blushed so openly in public!
"Hinata! It is good you are here, I want to make a announcement alongside Neji and was just waiting for you and Naruto to arrive." Tenten said with her eyes gleaming with joy. "What took you so long anyway?"
Naruto and Hinata both looked at each other. Hinata giggled a little bit while Naruto rubbed his head smiling sheepishly.
"Nothing, Tenten chan we were just having a friend's talk."
Tenten narrowed her eyes at them but said nothing.
"Anyways What I wanted to say was that Neji and I have decided to become an official couple!" Neji cleared his throat at that.
Everyone cheered while Hinata hugged Tenten congratulating her and smiled brightly at her cousin.
"Finally, I thought you guys would have never revealed your feelings to each. It has after all been four years of you two being lovey-dovey to each other. You guys have become oldies now." Ino babbled on.
"Oh yeah!? Then I guess Sai and your relationship is so young!"
"What there is nothing going on between us!" The blonde girl blushed profusely as she said that.
"Yes, Beautiful and I have nothing going on between us." Sai stated with giving one of his best fake smiles. Ino blushed more at that while Tenten smacked her face-palmed herself. They were so~ into each other.
Everyone laughed out loud at that.
"Ne.. ne thinking about couples...Sakura chan did you miss me!" Naruto shouted as he went to hug Sakura.
"Hell no! Naruto get away from me!" And Sakura did what she was re-known for. She punched Naruto hard in his face while Naruto just flew backwards.
"Naruto kun..." Hinata said worriedly.
Sasuke who had been quiet this whole time assured Hinata as her best friend.
"It's alright Hinata. This is pretty regular. I am surprised that dobe still does not has his face flat."
"Ah yes Sasuke kun."
"Hey I have an idea! Why not to celebrate this old couple's relationship we go to the amusement park nearby?" Ino suggested reffering to Tenten and Neji.
Neji scowled at that. "Absolutely no.."
"Please Neji! It will be fun!" Tenten gripped Neji's hand tighter and looked straight into his eyes. That did the trick obviously as Neji's heart became all mushy-mushy though his face remained absolutely dull.
"Yea! Let's go then guys." Sakura immediately pulled Hinata, who was asking Naruto if he was okay, and Ino while Sasuke and Sai trailed behind them.
AH... I will see you guys later. Again I am sorry for this late update and I have to warn you my updates will be slow from now on but I will try my best.
Please R&R. :)
