Little.miss.kawaii: Neji don't ignore me! Do the disclaimer, please.
Neji: No.
Little.miss.kawaii: (gasps) WHAT.DID.YOU.SAY?
Neji: I said no.
Little.miss.kawaii: You shall pay for that! (beats him up) DO IT NOW OR YOU SHALL PAY!
Neji: Little.miss.kawaii doesn't own that stupid idiot Naruto.
Naruto: Hey! I heard that!
Neji: So?
Naruto: So? I beat you in the Chuunin Exams so if I'm an idiot what are you? A retard?
Little.miss.kawaii: Good point…
Neji: Shut up (goes to sook in the corner)

Chapter seven Date?!
After their little spying mission the boys all had a cold and they felt like crap.
Neji was in his bed hiding under the blankets when the door opened. He stuck his head out from under the blanket and saw TenTen.
"Hn."
"Neji? Are you awake?" the girl asked. She put down something on his bedside table.
"Hn."
"Excuse me! Don't you dare 'hn' me! It's your fault for being a retard yesterday and spying on us. Don't blame me if you feel like shit!" the girl yelled. "And I was nice enough to make you soup too…"
Neji got up and took the bowl of soup and drank it all. He put the bowl back down and went under the blankets again
They were silent for a moment.
"Neji?" TenTen asked slowly. "Why were you spying on us in the first place?"
Neji turned pink. He stayed silent and then he pretended to be asleep.
He heard TenTen sigh as she walked out of the room.
After she left he sat back up in bed. Because I… wanted to see you.
Neji turned a deep shade of red. You'll make a great housewife. Did you know that, TenTen?
Sasuke sneezed for the umpteenth time that day. God I want some tomatoes.
Sakura walked in with a box of tissues and a tray.
"Sasuke-kun? I brought you some tomato soup."
Sakura stifled a giggle as the boy pounced onto the tray and started devouring the soup.
"Here." she handed him the box of tissues.
"You'll need them." Sakura said laughing as she walked out.
Sakura… NO! I can't think of her that way. She's only a team mate… nothing more, but I can't help loving her…
"Shikamaru! Wake up!" the blonde yelled hitting the asleep boy on the head.
Shikamaru woke up. "I already have a headache Ino." he groaned.
Ino pouted. "I was going to ask if you wanted this bowl of noodles, but I guess not…"
A weird noise was heard. Ino laughed. "Your stomach!"
Shikamaru looked embarrassed. "My hands hurt."
He held up his bandaged hands which were injured from TenTen's stash of weapons.
The blonde went pink. "Well then… I guess I have to feed you."
She sat beside him on the bed and started feeding him. Shikamaru didn't look it but he actually really enjoying this moment.
Ino laughed as she walked out of the room. "I'll come back in later, okay?"
Shikamaru nodded as she left.
I wish she could feed me everyday, and then I can save up the energy instead of feeding myself. (Lazy-bum alert!!)
Hinata was sitting on the porch watching the birds as she was thinking of a certain someone. Naruto…
From the shadows there was someone spying on her. It was our favourite knuckle-head ninja Naruto.
Come on man. You're a skilled shinobi. You can face assassins and other terrors and you don't even have the courage to ask a girl out? What are you, a mouse?
No… I just…
Dude, ask her out already! This is you only chance, if you ask her out any other time Neji will hunt you down and kill you but now he is in bed with his sorry ass! Go and ask her now or you will regret it… I will kick your butt.
Huh? How are you meant to kick my butt? You and I are the same person you know…
Don't get off the topic! Ask Hinata out… NOW!
Um… alright.
Hurry up! You've liked her since you got over your crush on Sakura. Come on, just ask her. If she says no then… well you never know unless you try so JUST GO ALREADY!!
Fine, fine. Geez, my inner is so bossy.
What did you say?
Err… nothing. I'm going to ask now.
Naruto looked up at Hinata again.
It's now or never.
"Hinata?"
"Yes?" Hinata looked up from her seat and blushed when she saw who it was. "Naruto-kun?"
"Um… I was just wondering if…"
Get it over and done with you moron!
Who are you calling a moron?!
"Naruto-kun are you okay?' Hinata asked worriedly. Naruto had a faraway look in his eyes.
He snapped back into reality. "Hehe… I'm fine. Perfectly fine."
"Are you sure? You look a bit pale." Hinata lifted her hand to his forehead.
Naruto gulped.
Ask her!
"Hinata… Willyougooutwithmefordinnertonight?" Naruto asked very quickly.
"Um... I didn't hear that."
He took a deep breath. "Hinata, will you please go out with me for dinner tonight?"
I did it! Yosh!
Hinata turned pink. "Yes, Naruto-kun!" Hinata squeaked as she ran off.
"I'll meet you here at seven tonight!" Naruto called.
Hinata ran into her room and shut the door. She landed onto her bed.
Naruto-kun… he asked me out!
I always knew this would happen.
You are?
I am the inner you. Well, I'm more like your love-life adviser.
Really?
Yes, and as you love-life adviser I will give you some important advice. Go and get the other girls in here and find an outfit for your date!!
Just like she was instructed, Hinata went to fetch the other girls.
"Oh my gosh! Did he really ask you out?" Ino asked. Ino was a gossip queen and she loved juicy news.
Hinata nodded meekly.
"I always thought you were going to be the last one out of us to go out! Congrats!" TenTen exclaimed. TenTen may not look it but she can get excited about this sort of stuff too.
Sakura smiled. She always knew that Naruto had liked the shy girl ever since he got over her. "Congratulations, Hinata."
"Now," Ino had a evil look in her eyes. "Time to find you an outfit!"
Neji sat up in bed. With his exceptionally good hearing and Ino being so loud , he had heard what she had said.
He got out of the room.
"UZAMAKI NARUTO! GET YOU BUTT HERE RIGHT NOW!"
Naruto crawled out into Neji's view. He could tell that Neji knew.
"Neji, please don't kill me! I still wanna live. I'm not ready to die yet!!" he pleaded.
Neji grabbed his collar. "If you hurt my cousin in any way at all or make her cry, I will personally see that you will be crippled… for THE REST OF YOUR LIFE."
Naruto nodded his head furiously. "I understand Neji. I will look after Hinata and treat her very well and if I make her cry I will be a goner."
Neji glared at him suspiciously. "Good."
7pm… later that night
"Naruto-kun?"
Naruto looked up and he was absolutely shocked.
She is so damn hot!
Hinata looked at him shyly and blushed.
She was wearing a blue sweater with a pleated white skirt. There was a white headband in her hair and she had long stripy socks on. Simple but cute.
"Hinata… you look great!"
"Arigatou."
"Come on let's go!"
He took Hinata's hand and they started to leave. She turned pink but Naruto being the usual dense guy he was didn't see.
As they were leaving Naruto thought he saw someone glaring at him. He turned around and gulped. It was Neji. Neji glared at him and Naruto ran off dragging Hinata behind him.
"Naruto-kun, where are we going?"
The two of them was standing on a street fill with shops.
"Err… you can choose."
Hinata looked around. There was so many shops! She saw Naruto's eyes darting to the ramen stall.
"Let's go have ramen." Hinata said giggling at Naruto's expression.
"Yosh! It's ramen time!"
Hinata giggled as she followed Naruto.
After dinner they sat down on a park bench and watched the stars.
"Ne… Hinata will you be my… girlfriend?" Naruto asked nervously.
"Yes…" Hinata said as she yawned. "I'll love to…"
Naruto looked down when he felt pressure on his shoulder. He chuckled when he saw the sleeping face of Hinata.
He carried her back to the resort with her in his arms.
After laying her on her bed he sighed.
You actually found the guts to do it!
Shut up.
He fell asleep and the last thing he saw was the peaceful face of our little Hyuuga heiress.
"Eh! He what!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Did.you.say.he.asked.you.to.be.his.girlfriend.and.you.said.yes?" Ino asked in disbelief.
Hinata nodded.
TenTen laughed. "Man you guys should see the look on your faces!"
"OH MY GOD HINATA HAS A BOYFRIEND NOW!" Sakura and Ino yelled.
"Naruto…"
The blonde turned and he paled.
"You do know why I'm here right?" the Byakugan user asked.
Naruto knelt on his knees. "I know! You're going to give me a lecture about how I will die if I hurt Hinata and you will kill me correct?"
Neji nodded. "Good."
Naruto sweatdropped as Neji walked away.
That was so awkward.
Hey you! Stop daydreaming and get the money from Saskue-teme!
What money? Oh you mean…
Naruto grinned as he went to find Sasuke. He was outside in the garden practicing his shuriken throwing.
"Oi! Teme, pay up!"
"Why should I give you money?"
Naruto grinned. "Remember the bet from two years ago?"
Sasuke grimaced. He had made a bet proposing that whoever found a girlfriend first would get money from the other person.
"You mean… you…"
The blonde smirked. "That's right. Now give me the money!"
Damn. Who would've thought that Naruto would win? He forgets everything so why did he have to remember this?! NOOOOOOO!! I'm a ruined man! Naruto found himself a girl before me. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD??
I am so sorry for the late update. Please forgive me! I had a serious case of writer's block and exams! Exams are my worst nightmare!!
Did you like this chapter? It's pretty long but I find it cute. I love Hinata x Naruto, it's such a cute pairing!
Sasuke: What is wrong with you? How come I lost to that baka?
Little.miss.kawaii: Are you questioning me about how I write?! (a dark aura surrounds her)
Sasuke: No…
Little.miss.kawaii: (goes happy) Oh, okay! That's good. Please review minna-san! I will try to update at least once a fortnight!
REVIEW PLEASE!
