One Sided Love Chapter 4
Naruto noticed that both Hinata and he were blushing. "You go first." He said a bit flat.
"N-No you can go first Naruto-kun." She replied trying not to blush even more.
"No, it's ok, you go first, what I have to say probably isn't as important."
Hinata seemed to stumble over what she was going to say not wanting to argue with him. "W-Well Kazuki and Koishii are going to be gone for awhile they said. That and that they gave me a list of things we can do when you are feeling better." "Why can't I just tell him, what is wrong with me?"
"Darn, I was hoping she would say it so that I new I was safer to admit it, but how can I just say it?" "Well then let's get on it right now." He said as he started to get up, a sharp pain caused his insides to churn, he also noticed that his hand felt wet.
"Oh no you don't, you are laying right back down and getting healed first." She said this with such firmness that it scared both of them. "S-Sorry Naruto-kun, i-it's just that I want you to get better first." She quickly added trying to make up for her firmness.
"It's ok Hinata, I understand it is only for my health." He said this with a bit of poutiness in his voice as he rolled over and went to sleep.
Another day went by with Naruto mainly just laying in bed and the daily treatment from Hinata and her healing salve, that and of course seeing her blush each time she touched him, which of course made her face redder and redder.
The next morning Hinata knocked at Naruto's door. "Enter." As she walked in her face immediately brightened as she told Naruto the good news.
"N-Naruto-kun, I-I think you can start to train again."
"What! Really, woohoo!" He got out of bed and started to dance up and down.
"But there is some bad news as well, Kouken and Koishii are going to be gone for awhile longer than they thought they would. We will have to live on our own for about a week or two said the phoenix they sent."
"Well that wont be a problem, and in the mean time we can start working on those trainings together." Naruto replied with a wide grin.
Hinata was smiling as well. "Well then let's get started, I can just see you are ready." She smiled even broader herself knowing that she brought Naruto great news and made him feel better.
"So what is the first thing on the list?" Naruto asked quite excited.
Hinata looked at the list and her smile disappeared a little. "Well the first thing is to gather some roots and such, b-but if you want we could skip thins one." Her smile came back a little.
"No, it's ok. Looks like we have to go get some roots." "What am I saying, how could I possibly want to gather roots? You fool, you aren't doing this for yourself, you are doing it for her." Naruto was looking at Hinata which had caused her to blush once more.
The day went by quite well, Naruto found out that he was actually quite good at spotting out the roots and other herbs. "Being able to find the roots for her means you two make an excellent pair." He could just imagine Kouken saying that.
Hinata called out. "Time to eat, Naruto-kun."
Naruto picked up the last of the herbs near him and went running towards the place they had been staying for almost a week now.
He saw the table fully set up for two people. "Is there anything I can help with Hinata?" He asked looking into the kitchen seeing Hinata working at getting everything onto the plates.
"N-No, its ok just take your place it's on the way." She replied in her most relaxed voice which he had not heard in quite awhile.
Naruto did as he was told and took his place at the table, just as he sat down Hinata came in holding a silvered tray with the food on it which she took so long to prepare. She placed it down on the table and took her place across from Naruto. "Enjoy." She said with a smile.
Naruto being himself immediately reached over and took his bowl of ramen and started to eat after saying thank you to Hinata.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile Kouken and Koishii were heading over to the nearest town.
"Are you sure we should have left them alone like that?" Koishii asked looking quite worried.
"They will be fine, and besides I think that this is the best way to get them to admit it, until they do it would be dangerous to send them into any battle."
"I guess you are right."
They traveled not too much further before they saw the outline of a town. "Well, well, well, what have we hear. Looks like we finally made it to the town." Said Kouken looking quite happy.
"Right then, let's get what we need from the town and get back as soon as possible."
"Not so fast there Koishii, the first thing we are going to do is send them a phoenix saying that we will be here a little longer than we thought, and then we are going to have some fun."
"B-But, the young gennins are all alone at the moment."
"Don't worry about them, they are both strong enough to look after them selves."
"O-Ok, then we shall just have to stay here and enjoy our time together." Koishii said giggling a bit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at Kouken's resident Naruto and Hinata were just finishing there dinner.
"That was great!" Said Naruto excitedly. "With cooking like that, who needs ramen?"
"T-Thank you Naruto-kun." Said Hinata blushing. She stood up and stretched her arms. "Well, goodnight Naruto-kun. I am going to bed, we will have another long day again tomorrow."
"Ok, Hinata, sweet dreams." Surprised with what he just said he quickly added in. "I wont be too long myself."
With that Hinata went up stairs and into her room. Naruto heard her close her door. He too went up to his room which was just across from hers.
The next morning Hinata woke up to a sweet smell. "What is this sweet smell?" She thought while getting up and getting dressed. She went out of her room and followed her nose. She ended up in the kitchen where she saw Naruto preparing what seems to be breakfast.
"Morning Hinata, just sit down at the table, I am almost done." Said Naruto with a wide grin.
"N-Naruto-kun, when did you learn how to cook?" Noticing that she just pretty much told him she thought he couldn't cook she started to blush again.
"Well, I don't actually remember learning how, I just kind of took some eggs and some of the herbs I was gathering yesterday, and mixed them up." Naruto came walking towards the table tray in hand which he placed in between where the both of them sit.
Hinata's eyes widened when she saw what he had made. "Wow, Naruto-kun, this looks delicious."
"Well, then let us eat, like you said training could be hard today." Naruto said while grabbing his plate.
Hinata grabbed hers. "Yeah, today we have to learn how to climb trees."
"Oh, I have already done that one, while I was away with Kakashi on one of the missions."
"Oh…" Hinata face started to darken.
Naruto seeing this to cheer her up. "But don't worry, it would be fun helping some one else learn it."
Hinata seemed to brighten up again. "H-Hai."
The two of them enjoyed there breakfast.
"Well let's get on with it then shall we?" Asked a clearly excited Naruto.
"Hai." Hinata replied as she brought the dishes to the kitchen.
Both Hinata and Naruto walked over to one of the more sturdier looking trees.
"H-How am I supposed to climb this?" Hinata asked with a puzzled look.
"All you have to do is focus your chakra into your feet, just enough to cause you to stick to the tree. Remember, too much chakra will cause you to lose you balance and fall, too little and you simply wont stick."
"S-So, all I have to do is concentrate?" She asked still slightly puzzled.
"Yeah, watch." Naruto walked up to the tree and placed his hands together, blue chakra formed around his feet. He placed one foot against the tree and then the other, he then walked up the tree as easily as if he was walking on the ground beneath. He landed again beside Hinata causing her to jump a little. "Now, you give it a try."
"O-Ok." Hinata walked up to the tree and placed her hands together, blue chakra formed around her feet as it did with Naruto, she placed one foot on the tree carefully, then the other even more carefully and started to walk up the tree.
"H-How is she doing it like that so soon, it took me so long to get the hang of this. She really is something special."
Hinata found herself near the top of the tree and shouted down to Naruto. "N-Naruto-kun, I did, I made it to the to-o-o-aaaah." With this she lost her grip on the tree and started to plummet down towards the ground.
Naruto shot out towards the tree and caught the falling girl in his arms knocking him down onto the ground.
Hinata opened her eyes and notice that Naruto was standing up with her in his arms. "N-Naruto-kun…" She said weakly, trying to hold back her tears.
Naruto looked down at the woman in his arms. "Its ok Hinata, I got you. Nothing will happen as long as I am here." As he said this his face too looked like he was trying to hold back tears.
"N-Naruto-kun." Hinata screamed as she pulled her face near his shoulder and started to cry.
Naruto placed his hand on her head and started to caress her hair. "There, there Hinata, its ok." Naruto said in a voice almost to gentle to be his own.
Hinata looked up at Naruto. "T-Thank you." Was all she managed to say in between her crying.
Naruto sat down with his back up against the tree with Hinata still in his arms. He leant over and kissed her on the top of her head.
Hinata didn't seem to mind, instead she rapped her arms around Naruto and just laid there.
"I love you Hinata." Naruto whispered before he knew it.
Hinata not prepared for this reaction stopped crying in his shoulder for a second before replying. "I-I love you too Naruto-kun, I-I always have."
Naruto looked a little surprised and happy at the same time. "What do you mean you always have?"
"I-I mean that I was always in love with you."
They both just stared into each others eyes for what seemed like an eternity before anything happened. Naruto leant over a little further then he did the first time and brought his lips onto hers, he could feel just how soft they were.
Hinata not expecting this was a little surprised but knew what to do. She closed her eyes and her lips met those of Naruto with passion that one could only give to another with whom they truly were in live with.
The kiss lasted but a minute or so, but to them it was as if they were kissing for an hour, but it was enough. Hinata laid her head against Naruto's chest and closed her eyes. Naruto looked down on the woman who had never been more beautiful before laying his head on hers, with in minutes the both of them fell asleep underneath the moon light.
