Sakura: Well we shouldn't let the readers hanging just cause you don't care.

Sasuke: That's not my problem now is it? They could skip this part…they don't have to read it.

Naruto: But it's important…it's all of that legal stuff and what not.

Hinata: Besides SP3234-sama could be in big trouble legally if she doesn't give proper acknowledgement.

Sasuke: And that's my problem…how?

Gaara: Well…let's just say that you won't be stuck in a cabin with Sakura-san.

Sasuke: (A thoughtful look on his face)

Sakura: (Sighing) Gosh I'll do it! SP3234 does not own the song "Milkshake" by Kelis, Fighting Dreamers or Harmonia and She does not own Naruto.

Naruto: She doesn't own me?

Naruto: (To himself) Or is she talking about me?

Chapter 4

Part One

"Chasu # 3 Sing it Sister!"

A couple of days had passed since the cookie incident. Within those couple of days, Hinata was quite fearful of being anywhere near Naruto. She took it really hard; thinking that she almost killed the most important person in her life…someone who she loved dearly…it was traumatic! Hinata was currently sitting by herself outside of Konoha's ice cream polar. It was late in the day and she was relaxing from a long day of training. She was so focused on her thoughts and the milkshake in front of her, that she didn't notice that someone was now sitting in the once empty seat across from her. When she raised her head to acknowledge the new comer, she gasped in surprise.

"Naruto-kun?" She gasped with widen eyes.

"Hinata…" He said with a small smile on his face. "So where have you disappeared off to these past few days? I've hardly seen you around…"

She looked down at her milkshake and then looked back up, her violet eyes locked with sapphire ones. She began to feel uneasy and quickly looked away. "I've…I've been busy…" She said in a voice so low that Naruto hardly heard her.

The two of them remained in an awkward silence. Never once did Naruto's eyes leave Hinata, however it was a different story with Hinata. It was strange on her part, but she just couldn't be around him. So many emotions rushed through her veins and memories of that day continued to reply in her mind. Much to her surprise, she found warm wet tears rolling down her cheeks and a sob escaped her lips. She looked up once again to see that Naruto was still there looking at her with worried eyes.

"Hinata…are you ok?" He asked in a worried tone as he took his hand and placed it on top of her hand. Hinata jumped slightly at the touch and her tears suddenly broke loose as they began to roll down her cheeks like a water fall. Much to Naruto's surprise she suddenly stood up and started to walk away without a word. For a minute or so, he looked at her as she walked further and further away. His head tilted in confusion, this was not the Hinata that he knew…something was bothering her and he need to find out. He then stood up and ran after Hinata who was about 15 feet ahead of him.

"Hinata!" He called out to her as he ran. She stopped in her tracks at hearing him call out her name. She took in a deep breath when she heard his foot steps approaching her and finally stopping behind her. She turned around to see a very confused and worried Naruto looking down at her.

"What was that all about? Are you ok?" He began in a soft voice as he slowly took a step towards her. "Please tell me…it hurts me to see you like this."

Hinata looked down as she kicked around dust. By this time her tears had died down so she was a little more in control to express her feelings. She looked up at him and bit her lower lip. "Nartuo-kun…" She began in a low voice.

He didn't respond as his intense gaze told her that she had his full attention. "Naruto-kun…I…lied to you…" He gave her a confused look with out a word as she continued. "I haven't been as busy as I lead you to believe. It's just that…I was avoiding you…"

His eyes widen in surprise. "But…why? Did I do something wrong?" He asked with a hint of hurt in his voice.

She shook her head slowly as she looked up at him with fresh tears in her eyes. "No…never. It wasn't you…it was me. I…I…nearly killed you. I guess I'm still not over it but…it was so scary. I don't think I could ever forgive myself if something…" She was cut off as he stepped closer to her and wrapped his arms around her petite frame.

He honestly felt like kicking himself. Of course she would act strangely around him. It was only a few days ago since it happened and he honestly never expected that she would still be affected by it. "It's ok…it's ok…" He whispered softly. "It's not your fault. I have already forgiven you…because I know that you didn't do that on purpose. Before hand I really did have a great time hanging out with you." He wiped away a few tears that were rolling down her cheeks. His eyes locked with hers. "Besides," He continued "If it weren't for you're quick actions, I would have been as good as dead. Thank you for helping to save my life, Hinata-chan." He gave her a lopsided smile.

Her eyes widen in complete surprise at hearing the suffix that he used after her name. "Naruto-kun…" Was all that she managed to say, due to the fact that she was speechless. She open her mouth to say something else, however Naruto had cut in.

"Wait" He said as he held a finger up to her lips. "There's more that I have to say." He said softly. Hinata nodded her head as he continued. "Tonight we're going to the Karaoke club. It's going to be Gaara, Temari, Sakura-chan, Sasuke, my self and…you…if you'd like to come." He said with a smile.

Hinata nearly fainted. This was too good to be true…was she dreaming? Just to test, she decide to give herself a small pinch. Her face winched in pain…apparently she was awake. She felt her heart beat faster and her breathing was shallow. She saw that Nartuo was waiting for an answer, so she said the first thing that came to her mind.

"Are you asking me out on a date Naruto-kun?" She asked shyly.

Naruto's eyes widen slightly at the unexpected question. His eyes soon soften and a warm smile appeared on his face. "I guess you could say that, so are you coming? He asked with hope in his eyes.

Without a moment's hesitation, she gave her answer. "Yes, I would love to go…thank you for being kind enough to invite me..." She said with a warm smile.

"Great!" He said cheerfully and he released his hold of her and took a couple of steps back. A boyish smile appeared on his face. "I'll be at your house at 7:00 to pick you up."

"That sounds good. I'll see you then Naruto-kun." She said.

"See ya later, Hinata-chan." He said with a wave of his hand as he disappeared in a whirl of fire. Hinata's eyes widen in surprise. 'I never knew that Naruto-kun could do that.' She thought to herself as she disappeared in a whirl of water.

Later on that night at Hinata's house

"Hinata! Are you ready yet? Naruto is going to be here in 25 minutes." Sakura shouted from the bottom steps.

"I'm sorry Sakura-chan…it's just that I can't find anything to wear!" Hinata cried out from her room.

"You've been up there for an hour, if not more then that. Gosh! Women take too long to get ready!" Sasuke muttered under his breath as he stood next to his girlfriend.

Sakura turned her head sharply towards Sasuke and gave him a death glare which he avoided. "Hey…give her a break. It's her first date with Naruto."

"Well…if that's the case, then why are we here and not at the club waiting for them?" Sasuke asked with a raised eyebrow and arms crossed over his chest.

Sakura rolled her eyes at the question. "Well duh…it's her first date and she's my friend. I thought that she might need some help." She said as she likewise crossed her arms over her chest. "Plus, I don't seem to recall inviting you to come here. I told you that I would meet up with you later but you insisted on coming anyway."

"Well, it's Naruto's first date and you don't see me over at his apartment helping him to get ready." He replied sarcastically.

Sakura took a good look the young man standing next to her. She had a slight look in her eyes and a frown appeared on her face. Sasuke saw the look and immediately knew he was in for it. Her frown deepened as she began to speak. "Sasuke-kun…this is a special night for her. Do you remember our first date? Do you remember how I looked?" She asked as she looked at him with questioning eyes.

A smirk appeared on his face as he nodded. "You looked beautiful." He said softly as he remembered that night of their first date.

She smiled at hearing is comment. "Yea…and it didn't take me ten minutes to get that way either. The thing with women is this. When we really love someone, we want to go the extra mile to look good for him. Everything in our eyes has to be perfect. There are other reasons as well, but I've been sworn to secrecy." She said with a smirk of her own.

Sasuke shook his head with a small smile as he walked back to the living room and sat on the couch to watch TV. Sakura turned her attention back to the top of the stairs. "Oi…Hinata-chan….do you need any help? You know, in looking for an outfit?" She shouted.

"That would be great, come on up!" She called out.

"Ok, I'm coming!" Sakura called out as she climbed the stairs to Hinata's room. "Sasuke-kun…do me a favor and open the door when the bell rings ok?" She called out over her shoulder as she continued up the stairs.

A minute later she found herself in front of Hinata's door. She knocked on the door and heard her friend inviting her in. Her eyes widen when she saw Hinata's room. Hinata's room was bigger and more spacious then her own. It looked like a room fit for a princess. As she looked around, she noticed that the walls had crown molding all around and that in the middle of the ceiling was a beautiful chandler. Across from the door she noticed a white couch with wooded clawed feet…Victorian style. To the right of it was a lounge chair in the same style. A side table with a lamp stood next to the couch.

To her right, next to the door, she saw an entertainment center. It held a 52 inch flat screen television with the Dish Network, a DVD player, an Xbox live…PS2…and a Game cube. She had a 5 disk CD player and two large towers that held different videogames, CD's and DVD's. To her left leaning against the wall was a large mirror with a gold frame around it. Along the left side of the room was a huge king sized bed with a wooden four post frame. On either side of the bed were large bay windows and under each window was a wooden night stand. The part of the room that was carpeted was where the bed was and the rest was cherry wood. As she looked over across from the bed, she notice two large French doors leading to the balcony which was a bit bigger then her's. She saw that there was a small garden, an iron table with a glass top and five chairs around it. To the far corner was a sitting swing set with a shade over it.

Sakura was impressed, to say the lest. She had never step one foot in her friend's room…despite the fact that they were friends since she was 12. This room was even better then the guest room that Naruto stayed in!

"Sakura…are you still there? I'm in the closet…you could come back here." Hinata said breaking Sakura away from her thoughts.

"Hai, I'm coming." Sakura said as she followed Hinata's voice. She walked across the room ton an opening in the wall next to the lounge chair. She saw that there was a short hallway with two doors on either side and a vanity table with spot lights above. She remembered hearing her friend's voice coming from the left, so she decided to go through that door. When she opened the door, her mouth hung open agape. Not only was she impressed at how big the room was…which was about 5x5…there was even a squared bench in the middle big enough to sit up to 8 people! However, that was not what kept the shock look on Sakura's face. At present, instead of seeing everything in it's respected place, there were cloths and shoes thrown about on the floor and Hinata was running around with nothing but a towel wrapped around her and a smaller towel was wrapped around her head.

"Hinata-chan?" She said in a questioning voice.

Hinata turned her attention to the new comer. "15 minutes…he'll be here in 15 minutes and…and…I'M NOT READY!" She cried out in a panic.

"Why are you still in a towel?" Sakura asked as she sat down on the bench, all the while looking at her friend.

"Well, before I stepped into the shower, I had an outfit set aside for me to wear. However, when I came out and saw it again, I hated it. Since then I've been looking for the perfect outfit. Everything looks all wrong!" She sighed as she sat down next to me, her elbows resting on her lap and her chin on the palm of her hand.

"I see…" Sakura said as she nodded her head. She then stood up and looked around the room. In less then 5 minutes she had a black dress in hand. It was a spaghetti strap with a low back and a V shaped neck line front. In her other hand, she held a pair of black high heeled sandals. Hinata noticed the outfit in Sakura's hand and gave her a raised eyebrow.

Sakura sighed inwardly at the look her friend was giving her. "It's evening wear…and besides…black looks great on everyone." She said with a shrug of her shoulders as she walked over to her friend and handed her the outfit. "Do you keep your jewelry in your vanity draw?" She asked.

"Yeah…um…it's in the top right draw." She said softly.

Sakura nodded her head. As she left the room, she turned back to her friend and gave her a smile. "I'll do your hair as well." She said as she left the room.

Another 10 minutes had pass by the time Sakura was finished with Hinata. The dress that she wore fell a few inches above her knee and hugged every curve of her body. Her hair was tied back in a pony tail with the loose end in spiral curls. She had a smoky effect done on the lid of her eyes and her lips were a perfect shade of red. In short…she looked gorgeous.

Sakura smiled at the work that she had done and Hinata was left speechless as she stared at herself in the mirror. "Wow…thanks a lot Sakura-chan…I don't know what I would do with out your help." Hinata said as she looked her self over once again. Just then the door bell rang and a few minutes later they heard Sasuke calling out that Naruto was there. Sakura look at her friend and likewise with Hinata.

"Are you ready to knock him out of his shoes?" She asked with a sly smile.

She gave a sly smile of her own as she walked to her bedroom door and turned to look at her friend. "As ready as I'll ever be…" She said as they both left the room.

Meanwhile down at the foot of the stairs…

"So…where's Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked as he stood next to Sasuke with his hands in his pocket. He was wearing black diesel jeans, a plan black fitted t-shirt with an opened button down, short sleeved orange dress shirt and black boots. Sasuke was wearing a similar outfit, except for his jeans were a dark blue and he wore a white fitted t-shirt under a navy blue button down, short sleeved dress shirt.

"She's up stairs helping Hinata get ready." Sasuke reply plainly with out looking at his friend.

Naruto nodded his head. For a while neither one said a word. Their silence was broken when they saw Sakura at the top of the stairs walking towards them. Naruto's eyes were slightly widened when he saw his friend walk down the stairs toward them. She wore a black mini skirt, a red halter top with a low neck line that barley showed her cleavage and black sling back heals. Her hair hung loosely down to her waist.

"You look amazing!" Naruto said with a smile while Sasuke was silent but gave his girlfriend a smirk.

"Thank you Naruto, you really nice yourself." Sakura said with a warm smile towards her friend.

"So…where is she?" Sasuke asked as he looked around for Hinata.

"She's waiting upstairs until I give her the ok for her to come down." She said with a mischievous smile.

"Sakura…" Sasuke said in a low voice that held a bit of annoyance in it.

She ignored her boyfriend as she turned her attention to the stairs. "Oi…Hinata-chan! Come on out!" Sakura called out. Not a minute later both Sasuke and Naruto drew their attention back to the top of the stairs. As Hinata walked down the stairs, "Hey Baby" by Gwen Stefani could be heard in the back ground. Both boys had their mouths hung open agape as she walked down the stairs. Naruto was in more of a daze then Sasuke though…he couldn't seem to keep his eyes off her.

"Hinata-chan…" He gasped as she walked straight to him.

Hinata gave him a sly smile. "Yes Naruto-kun?" She said as she stood right in front of him.

For a minute, Naruto was left speechless. "You look…you look…" He began but Hinata stopped him from speaking further by placing a finger to his lips.

"I know what you're trying to say Naruto-kun…the look in your eyes says it all." She smiled warmly as she took his hand into her own. "Let's get going." She said as she pulled him to the door and he followed close behind like a love sick puppy. Sakura turned her attention to Sasuke who still had a look of shock written across his face.

"You did a great job Sakura-chan…an amazing job." Sasuke said shaking his head.

"Well…of course I did. I wanted her to experience with Naruto the same love that you and I share…did you not see the look of lust and desire in his eyes!" Sakura said with stairs in her eyes.

Sasuke hung his head low when he saw the look that his girlfriend had on her face. "Please tell me that you didn't go into Matchmaker Sakura mode when I was gone..." He said in a low voice mentally pleading that she didn't.

Sakura gave him a pout. "Me? Matchmaking? Whatever gave you that idea?" She asked as she walked towards the door without looking back. Sasuke shook his head as he followed closely behind her. 'I hope that she didn't cause any damage when I was gone.' He thought to himself.
