As Hinata was about to stand to break up the hugging, Ayuma moved on her own. As she seperated from him, Ayuma grabbed Naruto's hands into her own."Naruto, its so good to see you!" Ayuma said, ignoring Hinata's glare at her. "What happened to your hair?" she questioned, looking at the bottom part of Naruto's hair which had a little mud coating the tips.

"Uh, I kinda almost fell into a puddle." he said, rubbing his neck."Ill have to wash it tonight and cut it. It grew too long." Naruto said, skipping the detail of how it just grew a minute ago.

Ayuma smirked. "Ya know, if you want I could help you with that. Tonight." She then winked at him. Naruto blushed. Hinata seethed.

"Naruto, did we not come for ramen? Or did we come to gather volunteers to help you shower?" Hinata spat, looking at Ayuma. Ayuma scowled.

"Oh yeah Ayuma. Two Miso Pork ramen, menma and all!" Naruto said happily, getting giddy.

"And ill have the Chicken ramen." Hinata said snarling. Ayuma began to walk to the back. After she left, Hinata stared at Naruto. "Why the hell do you let her touch you like that!?" Hinata said to Naruto, who was looking at her in disbelief.

"She was one of my only friends back when I was young." Naruto said. "Problem?" he said, face showing a little anger. Hinata again was shocked. 'Did Naruto just go smart-ass on her'. Oh hell. As Hinata was about to pound him, the call "order up!" could be heard. Naruto turned around in a flash. He grinned at the steamy bowls of deliciousness in front of him. Yum.

Hinata stared at him out of the corner of her eye. He had already begun eating. She wanted to knock him for his attitude towards her earlier, but decided to eat. After the meal, Naruto and Hinata left the place, heading home.

"Hey Hinata?" Naruto said, following her.

"What?" Hinata said anger in her face.

"Ummm, thanks." Naruto blushed. "For coming with me."

"Your welcome I guess." Hinata blushed too. She had never been told thank you. Well, not in a long time.

Naruto went his seperate way. So did Hinata. As she was walking, she began to think about the nights events. Naruto made her blush! How the hell? And the worst part about it, she couldnt get angry. Why? Hinata smiled on her way home. Why is he dominant and submissive? Why did she like it? Well, she'll just have to go out with him again. For old time sake. At least, thats what she told herself.
