A/N-Sorry about leaving you all at what I thought was a cliffhanger. I just thought that the next chapter should be about their date and *cough* what happens. Haha. Anyway, enjoy Chapter 6! Don't own Naruto, just the story.
T0 MY FANS
Date of Reckoning
"Oh boy Naruto here we go. You're just going to knock on the door and Hinata will be right at the door, and I'll be on my way" Naruto thought to himself.
He really did hope that Hinata was there and not her father Hiashi. It would be either good or bad for Naruto if he knew on what's going on. Naruto walked up to the Hyuuga estate and knocked on the door. He waited with anxiety hoping that Hinata would answer the door. He soon saw a shadowy figure starting to close in on the door. The figure had long hair and Naruto started a sigh of relief until he saw the door open and saw… Hiashi.
"Oh, shi… I-I mean, good evening Mr. Hyuuga-san. Quite the evening isn't it?" Naruto asked weakly.
"Enough of the suck up Naruto. I was happy to find that my daughter was going to be doing something tonight instead of staying in for the night as she usually does when no missions are assigned to her. What surprised me the most is who the person was and now I'm looking at him. Let's keep this simple, anything happens to Hinata, it's on you. I understand that she is a teenager and well capable of taking care of herself, however, it's the man's responsibility to ensure her safety. Got it Naruto?" Hiashi said.
"Y-yeah, I got it. Man, he's really straightforward isn't he? He doesn't play games."
"Now please come in, Hinata will be down any minute."
Naruto followed Hiashi into the living room where the staircase met the second floor. Naruto awaited the Hinata's presense eagerly. He was really excited to see what she had picked to wear for their date. Naruto decided to wear a long sleeved orange and black collared shirt with black jeans; he didn't think he overdressed at all.
"Hinata, we're waiting!" Hiashi shouted
"Just finishing up cleaning my room father! I'm coming down now!" Hinata said.
As soon as she finished with that sentence, she came down stairs and Naruto just gulped and took in all that he saw. Was this the same Hinata the he asked to go out on a date with a few days ago? I mean he long sleeved shirt and sweatpants looked nice and all, but now she's on a whole new level. She came downstairs with her hair as it usually was, face with a little makeup on, wore a lavender polo and a lavender skirt. She showed off her legs, which were very well toned, and wore some nice shoes for the occasion as well.
"H-Hi, Naruto-kun." Hinata said with a smile on her face.
"H-Hi Hi-Hinata, you lo-look g-great!" Naruto studdered.
"Thank you."
"Okay Hinata, I think we better be off, we need to head to the restaurant before it gets all packed. We'll see you later Mr. Hyuuga-san!"
"Behave you two. Naruto, we spoke already. You already know what will happen."
"Um… yeah, sure," Naruto said with a weird look on his face.
The night had a cool breeze to it. Around 60 degrees, few clouds in sight and the moon shining on anyone in its path, exposing them briefly in the light. Gazing into the sky was Hinata, smiling while taking in the night sky. It was a beautiful view. She looked into the stars for constellations and see if she could make any of them out. As she gazed into the sky, she saw a what looked like a tear falling off of someone's face. It was a shooting star. As she saw it for the 1 second, her smile got bigger, she was starting to feel like floating on air. She decided to make a wish on the beautiful star.
"I wish for tonight to be the night I show my true feelings for the man I'm with. The one that showed me the right path since the Chuunin exams. The one who knows that never quitting isn't an awswer. Tonight, I let go of the stuttering, fainting, hesitating and everything in between, for you…"
"Oi! Hinata! You're falling behind! We're almost there!" Naruto shouted.
"Coming Naruto-kun!" Hinata replied.
She did feel embarrassed that she just stood there but it wasn't going to stop her.

"Come on apprentice!"
"I thought we agreed you would stop calling me that!"
"Nope, I don't remember such thing"
The one girl yelling for her "apprentice" was waiting outside and indeed in a hurry. If they didn't hurry their reservation would be taken immediately.
"If you don't hurry, the guys won't be able to save our reservation! LET'S GO INO-PIG!"
"Forehead girl, I'm at the door, now let's go meet Shikamaru and Chouji at the restaurant."
The two girls walked in their dressed up/casual clothes over to the restaurant where Shikamaru and Chouji had been waiting. As they arrived, they could see the two men looking up from their spot and waving towards them to hurry up. They were right next in line before the man who was being taken to his table by the hostess.
"'Bout time you girls showed up, what took you so long?" Shikamaru asked.
"Don't worry about it. Do we still have a table?" The pink-haired ninja asked.
"Yeah, we have our table. Now let's get to it so we can eat." Chouji said.
---
The hostess guided Naruto and Hinata to their table that only had room for two. It was a nice fit for two, nice lighting, atmosphere was good, live music playing in the corner of the restaurant. It was all so much to take in.
"Getting reservations here was a hassle, you have no idea how long I had to wait to get us a table." Naruto said.
"You shouldn't worry about it now, Naruto-kun. We're here, so let's enjoy ourselves."
And they did. Although it got off to a slow start, things seemed to have picked up when Hinata asked about when Naruto went off with Jiraya for training. Naruto told her about what places they went to see, they techiniques he learned in the process. It all amazed Hinata. The amount that he did during the day seemed unbearable. She wasn't so sure if she would've survived this kind of training. When Naruto was finished, he asked Hinata on the kinds of things she did during the two year absense. Hinata began telling him of how she continued to the work of her own style defense jutsu, almost like Neji's but not with a rotation. She also continued the work of her Gentle Fist and her Byukugan could even see further then before. Naruto was amazed at the how much she progressed, she wasn't the same timid girl he knew two years ago, she was more matured, stronger, and beautiful too. Her long purple hair, in his opinion, looked great, she had a cute smile, and she was smart too. Naruto couldn't believe he didn't see how beautiful she was in the first place. It made no sense to him, but now, however, it did. Their dinner came and they went to work on it. Naruto started feeling a little hot inside his mouth because the Chicken Ramen he ordered hadn't cooled off enough yet. He started turning red and went for his glass of water immediately, but it wasn't enough! He saw at the next table that the waiter had a pitch of water in his hand. Naruto knew that this was barbarack, but he was burning up and needed to quench his thirst, and fast. He snatched the pitcher of ice cold water from the waiter's hand and started gulping it down fast. When Naruto was finished, the whole pitcher of water was gone and the waiter left in disguist. Hinata couldn't help but laugh at what had happened. It was too hard to hold back. The two went back to their meals, finished and paid the bill and left the restaurant. Little did they know of the 4-person group that would immediately be following.

Sakura had her dinner in front of her three quarters of the way done when she looked at the entrance and saw a girl and a blonde haired 16-year-old leave the premises. Sakura spit out the water in the direction of the ground and turned to the three people at the table.
"Naruto was here with a girl!" She said aloud to the table.
"Naruto? Who was he with?!" Ino asked.
"I don't know but let's go find out! We can track him and figure out who this mystery girl is." Sakura said.
"Okay, but we gotta pay the bill first girls," Chouji said.
"Alright." They both replied.
So the bill was paid and the four people left the restaurant and hopped from the trees onto the roof of a house so they could get a better look of where Naruto went. All four of them looked into different directions and Shikamaru spotted them.
"Got 'em! Their headed towards the forest!"
"Let's go," Sakura said.
Naruto wanted to walk with Hinata when they left, he wanted to spend more time with her. She seemed so interesting now, so fun, so nice. Hinata wanted to do the same, it wasn't really late either so she had plenty of time. She wished this day would've came some time sooner, but stuff happens. The two went deeper into the forest and came across a small pond with a small waterfall. Naruto decided to stop here and relax for a bit. He wasn't planning on going into the water but he wanted to relax and take in the sight. It made the night seem so perfect.
"Hinata…" Naruto started.
"Yes?" She replied.
"Let's sit here and relax. I'm tired of walking." He said looking down with a grin on his face.
"Okay Naruto-kun. That's fine with me."
Naruto went by a tree and sat down and leaded next to it. Hinata decided to do the same but sit close to Naruto. She sat next to him and looked up into the sky. The stars looked even brighter then before. A mysterious mist loomed into the night sky as well, making the stars look even brighter. The view was breath taking. Hinata looked towards Naruto. He was looking at the scenery as well. Without hesitating, Hinata slowly rested her head on Naruto's shoulder.
"Mm?" He said as he turned and saw Hinata close to him.
-bump bump-
The Naruto looked away for a second and closed his eyes. He was starting to feel aroused by this whole thing. Sitting with a cute girl, in the night, by a pond. This was starting to take its toll. Naruto gulped and opened his eyes. He gazed into the night sky once more.
-bump bump-
"Hinata…" Naruto said quietly.
"Yes Naruto-kun?" Hinata whispered softly.
-bump bump-
"You know when my mouth was on fire in that restaurant, and I needed something cool to drink?"
"Yes, what about it?" Hinata was breathing faster now.
-bump bump bump bump-
"It's not all the way gone."
-bump bump bump bump bump bump-
"Well, there's some water over th…"
As she pointed into the direction of the water, she turned her head to Naruto's and felt something touch her lips. It was Naruto's lips, moist and pressing against hers. She started getting aroused by this. Her eyes still open, still looking at his closed ones. Naruto broke the kiss and opened his eyes to Hinata. She was giving him such an innocent look on her face. Her eyes were gleaming and she sat there looking at him.
"Naruto…" She whispered into his ear. She started closing her eyes and leaning in to Naruto. Naruto had his eyes half shut and looked at Hinata as she closed in on his lips. They locked. The two locked lips and grabbed each other with their arms. Never letting go of this moment. Literally. Naruto felt Hinata grab his shirt and was still holding the kiss. Hinata waited for this moment all her life, since she met him. They unlocked. The two broke the kiss and looked into each other's eyes. Looking into them with hope and happiness. Time was moving slow in their world, they didn't care though. They just looked at each other and then Hinata sat closer to Naruto and interlocked her hand with his and laid her head on his shoulder.
"Hinata… You're so beautiful." Naruto said softly into her ear.
"As are you." She whispered.
Hinata closed her eyes and rested on Naruto's shoulder. Naruto took his left hand and started guiding it through Hinata's purple hair. Gently petting her head and squezzing her hand tightly; he didn't want this to end. It was mystical and mysterious at the same time. What an interesting combination. Naruto shook Hinata and she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the man who she was going to be happy with.
"I need to take you home Hinata…" He whispered.
Hinata nodded and they both got up. Naruto bent down and offered Hinata piggyback ride for the ride home. She gladly obliged. As Naruto held her legs tightly, he could feel Hinata's grip around his chest getting tighter. She really had deep feelings for him. Someone did have feelings for him. Naruto grinned slightly as he finally reached the estate. He gently put Hinata down and faced her.
"Thank you… for everything Hinata."
Hinata took a step towards Naruto and kissed him. When the kiss was broken, she looked up into his eyes.
"Thank you… Naruto-kun." She hugged him right there. She didn't want to let go, it wasn't fair at all. Naruto started squezzing her tightly as their time was up. Hinata opened the door to her home and looked into the eyes of her boyfriend. She was so happy. As they both went their separate ways, all they had was one thing on their mind.
Each other.
