Darkgamma reporting. Sorry I hadn't been reporting in a while, but I had school business to attend. I hope you like this one and may your wishes and expectations be fulfilled. Darkgamma out!

"Dictionary, dictionary…" The blonde said as he looked over the scrolls he owned.

"Anatomy? No… Acupuncture, Astronomy… Brewing, Botany, Boxing… Culture, Carnivores, Countries… Dyes, Demonology, Drama, Dragons… nothing…" He said as he looked over a library of smuggled scrolls. It was mid-day.

The blonde put on his black clothes and left his home. He ran down the streets and looked at people around him. They weren't terrified of him, they were confused. He waved hello to Fuuma and Kayumi and sprinted towards the academy. He was late, as usual.

"Class begins in five minutes!!" The boy whispered and entered the building. He noticed that his classroom was nearly empty; no one was there, except for a gentle, beautiful silhouette that was looking throughout the window.

"You're beautiful…" The boy said, looking at the girl in front of him. That bluish hair seduced him.

She could feel her heart skipping a beat or two.

'N-N-Naruto…-kun…?' She blushed furiously at those words as her light lavender eyes were closing slowly.

"H-Hinata…?" The blonde woke up and caught the girl. He smiled as he felt her getting warmer and warmer; her skin was starting to lighten up as her face was close to that of the boy of her dreams.

Unknown to them somebody was watching this heart-warming moment, someone whose eyes are of the coldest cyan. "Oooh…! That's a sweet moment. First this then dates and then… they kiss!" The spy whispered to herself, hoping that these two get together.

The blonde held Hinata on his shoulder in a rather romantic hug. The girl's heart was pounding faster and faster as she relaxed and enjoyed the moment. He held her for some time, but to the girl it seemed like an eternity, like a dream that was coming true… The boy was getting nervous, as she was so sweet, so pretty, so close to him. "Take good care of yourself, Hinata-hime..." He whispered to the lavender-eyed girl who fainted, this time for real. The blonde-haired boy then put her in the corner and sat next to her.

_-_-_-_-_

The sun was setting. Naruto was sitting next to Hinata, who was slowly waking up. "Good morning, sleepy!" He whispered to her with a foxy grin. She just blushed light red and started getting nervous. "W-w-what are you doing here, N-N-Naruto-kun…?" She asked with a soft, angelic voice. "I was with you, all this time… You fainted…" He mentioned as the girl blushed even deeper.

"Why is everybody away?" "I-it's Saturday-y…" She giggled. "Aww…! And I thought there was a quiz today…" He said with a slight tone of disappointment in his voice. "You should go now, they'll get worried…" He whispered into her ear as he hugged her. For a moment they looked like lovers, at least to the Yamanaka standing behind the door. "Oh no… I better go." The blonde Yamanaka ran off.

"Do you want me to walk you home?" Those words took the lavender-eyed Hyuuga by storm. Then again, she started falling. The boy caught her and giggled. "Guess not." His eyes turned to a Hyuuga ninja about a year older than him that was spying. "Take her home." Said the blonde, much to the black-haired teen's surprise. He just nodded and in a blink of an eye he took the girl and disappeared into the shadows of the village. Naruto then walked out the classroom and exited the building. Stars hung in the night sky.

"Two miso, Fuuma! This is going to be a long night." He said. Fuuma, understanding what the boy meant, started cooking two big bowls of ramen. The moon was full.

Naruto left Ichiraku ramen and disappeared into the dark night leaving only a few coins behind.

"Home sweet home…!" Said the teen with pride as he entered his home. He then opened one of the scrolls he brought yesterday. Blood came out of a wound on his thumb as he wrote various seals in a crimson color. "Stroke left and a cut right…" He whispered to himself. It was midnight.

_-_-_-_-_-_

And in that way days passed, he went to the academy, aced quizzes and ate at Ichiraku. Days were passing as September was nearing completion.

"There's a test coming up…" Naruto whispered to himself as he ran towards the academy. As always, he was late.

'He's late again…' Iruka thought while looking at the sun. "Sorry… I'm… late… Iruka-sensei…" A shivering voice said as he walked in. '…As usual…' Naruto walked to Hinata and sat beside her. She smiled and blushed, still remembering the moment when she felt deep in love.

And the boy himself was reddish a bit.

"It's test time! Shuriken throwing and obstacle-" The chunin began but was interrupted by crunching and crushing. "Choji!"

And so, everyone got out of the classroom and into the yard.

"Do your best, looser, so I don't have to worry about beating you." A voice spoke to Naruto. "Oh, Sasuke, mister Duck wants his butt back!" The blonde sent a response that sent every boy laughing. The Uchiha smirked and did what he knew best, ignored the attention. "Stop it or you'll all get F's!" Yelled Iruka as everybody picked up ten shuriken and stood in a line. "Do your best, N-Naruto-k-kun…" A lavender eyed girl whispered to the boy in front of her.

The boy turned around and smiled. "Will do, Hinata-hime." She heard.

"They're still not dating… What's wrong with them?" Sakura and Ino were talking, seemingly about the Hyuuga heiress and the boy she loves.

Slash! Some girl threw her shuriken only to miss the target completely. And as fast as her pride appeared it vanished in the shadows of her sorrow. Ino threw three in the bull's-eye and the rest close. Sakura did the same as the line shortened. Sasuke threw nine dead in the center while the last one was fairly close. This earned him fan girl-sighs from all the girls except the Hyuuga. There were only two left, Naruto and Hinata (P.S. Our favorite couple!). Hinata threw her star-shaped projectiles and saw seven in the bull's-eye. 'Do your best, N-Naruto-k-kun…' An angelic voice, like that of the raven in his dream, rang in his head. And so he threw, aiming for the target and hoping for the best.

His hits were perfect as all ten shuriken were in the center.

"Good job, Naruto!" A lazy, sleepy boy, Shikamaru, said. "Shika! Your turn!" The blonde responded. "All right, all right…" The Nara said as he picked up shuriken and threw them without regard where they will fly off. And as expected, they scattered and none hit the target, not like the Nara cared.

But unfortunately, one actually hit something… or someone… A blur was upon his eyes, a black blur. It closed in… And then… nothing… It struck Naruto in the neck, knocking him out cold.

_-_-_-_-_

Darkgamma here! And so, an unlucky case doomed our character's faith by little.

Don't be disappointed, this shuriken was there to evolve the plot, to make room for a little romance. Sorry if I didn't fill your expectations, but here it is… chapter four!

(I need at least 2 reviews to continue. Why would I write if nobody reads?) Darkgamma out!
