Chapter 4
AN: I don't wanna make this too cheesy so ya. Also today is my bday so yay! R&R!
It had been weeks since Hinata had started teaching Naruto. They were done with the required studying, when Kakashi sensei decided to check in on them. The Hokage walked inside the small classroom, wondering how Naruto's studies were. I really hope Hinata is doing a good job teaching Naruto. The masked nin thought. Kakashi was expecting to see red-faced Hinata, explaining something to Naruto, who would be grinning. But remember, Naruto was the most unpredictable ninja in Konoha.
Even Kakashi's hunches could predict what Naruto would do next. Instead, what Kakashi saw was Hinata's face red, (which was expected) passed out on the desk, and Naruto also red-faced(which you don't see often)panicked, looking worriedly at Hinata. Kakashi wanted to leave but Naruto spotted him before he could run. Does this happen a lot with those two?
"Listen Naruto I really don't care what happened here-"
"Sensei…" Naruto said quietly. Kakashi had never heard Naruto speak quietly. He was definitely creeped out.
"I-I think I killed her…"
The last thing the Hokage wanted to do was get caught up in Naruto's mess. But this was getting interesting….
"What did you do now Naruto?"
Naruto swallowed nervously.
"Well she told me I was finally done with everything I needed to learn and…"
Kakashi kept his face straight, though it was hard not to laugh at Naruto's condition.
"I guess I got excited and I kinda just kissed her..."
The Hokage was just relieved that Naruto was finished with studying.
"B-but don't worry it was just on the cheek." He covered his face with his hands. "I bet she hates me now!" He said a lot louder.
Naruto has a better love life that I ever thought her would when I first met him. Thought Kakashi.
"I mean she passed out! She must think I have like cooties or something! She hasn't woken up for like ten minutes!"
Naruto's Sensei had left the classroom, leaving Naruto rambling on. "Hey! Kakashi Sensei! Oi…"
"I'm sorry Hinata. I hope we can at least stay friends." Naruto mumbled as he carried passed out Hinata in his arms to Konoha hospital.
Hinata woke up smiling softly. Hehe Naruto-Kun kissed my cheek...heh. She was in a bubbly mood. Looking around, she noticed that she was in a hospital bed.
What happened? Oh my god… I fainted when Naruto-Kun kissed my cheek…
She looked around the room only to find Naruto sitting next to her bed. The dreamy smile she woke up with faded as her eyes hit Naruto. "Hi Hinata! It's nice to see that your up and smiling!"
She stopped smiling when she looked at me. Hinata must really hate me.
"N-Naruto-Kun…." was all that came out of her mouth. "Sorry for shocking you Hinata."
Shocking me…?
The nurse had told Naruto, 'she was put in a state of shock. Don't jump scare her anymore m'kay?'
I didn't jump scare her…
Hinata sat up and rubbed her eyes groggily. I guess I have to confess now…
It'll get too late because of his fangirls. "It's fine Naruto-Kun. I guess I just got a little frightened. I'm fine now!"
"How embarrassing…." Hinata thought.
Or so she thought.
Realizing that she had said that out loud, Hinata pulled the sheets over her head and groaned.
This day really can't get any worse.
"Heh. I should be the one who is embarrassed" Naruto muttered. The nurse suddenly came through the door. "Oh goody your awake sweetheart. Just take it easy for the rest of the day m'kay pumpkin?" She chirped.
Hinata awkwardly nodded and got out of the bed. "I'll walk you home" Naruto offered. "Ok…"
It was getting dark outside.
The whole way they were walking silently Hinata was wondering if she should confess to him. He did kiss me on the cheek. It's now or never really. He has so many fangirls. If I don't do it now I'll be wondering for the rest of my life what would happen if I did. Hinata looked at Naruto next to her and opened her mouth but nothing came out. So she kept walking. We are almost to my house… I should tell him now.
"N-Naruto-Kun!" That's when Hinata realized that she didn't know what to say.
"Ya"
"I..i need to tell you something…."
Over the weeks spent teaching Naruto, Hinata's stuttering and blushing has gone away. All of a sudden it came back.
"Hinata you don't look so good. Do you wanna go back to…"
"No!" Hinata answered loudly. "No, I'm good really…" she repeats softer this time.
They stop walking.
"Naruto-Kun" her eyes were squeezed shut and her head down. I gotta say it now or never!
"I love you!" She dared to look at his face. There was a pause.
Naruto was smiling. "Hinata! I already knew that!"
"You...What?"
"Ya! You already told me! Remember? That time with Pein!"
"Right…"
Naruto imitated the stance Hinata did when she fought pein. "You were all like 'because, I love you Naruto-Kun'"
Hinata stepped back a little in surprise.
Naruto laughed.
"S-so does that mean y-you…" she paused and swallowed. "Love me back?"
Hinata practically whispered.
A chill ran up her spine. Naruto grinned, "of course I do!" He said pulling her into a huge hug. Is this for real?
"You're the best friend anyone can ask for!"
Of course not.
She couldn't bring herself to tell him.
They broke away from each other and Hinata fake smiled. It was more of a sad smile. No Naruto-Kun. I love you romantically. Is what she wanted to say.
"Right. Thanks" is what she said.
I'm so hopelessly in love with you…
They continued to walk.
Head over heels….
"Hinata here is your house" Naruto stated the obvious.
It's not gonna happen….
"Thank you Naruto-Kun. Have a good day! Bye!" Hinata called cheerfully.
She turned around smiling, her hair following her behind her as she turned the corner.
It's too late now.
Naruto felt all bubbly inside whenever Hinata smiles. But the last smile she gave him was fake, and it was obvious. Even to Naruto. He thought he saw a tear.
No, it was just sweat…. it is summer after all…but just to make sure.
As Hinata turned the corner she let all her tears fall.
It's not like anyone is gonna see me….
She felt a strong hand grabbing her arm.
"Hinata!"
I can't turn around! I can't stop the tears.
So she stood still, facing away from him as he holds her hand. "Ya?" She said her voice shaking. Her shoulders were too.
Hinata put a hand to her mouth.
"Hinata… are you crying?"
He let go of her hand and put it on her shoulder to turn her around. Their eyes met.
2b continued.
