Chapter 7
Yay 'nother chappie whoo I hope you like it so far… wait a minute if you didn't like it then you wouldn't have read this far right. Oh I forgot this story takes place after Naruto took care of Pain and Nagato
Me: Kiba you're up for the disclaimer
Kiba: fine Misao-san doesn't own anything to do with Naruto. Happy?
Me: quiet. Anyway If I did my fave couples would be together.
I started humming. When I sensed and other chakra signature come in. I turned to see Naruto in his black ninja pants and a white muscle shirt. I blushed slightly at the sight of his broad, tan shoulders and muscular arms. I felt a little faint but kept stood my ground. He smiled the fox like smile I adored. "Are you ready Hina-chan?"
I blushed a bit more at the nickname he gave me, but still nodded. I wanted to protest to the –chan part but didn't. We began our trip into town for groceries. 'Our' I like the sound of that. We arrived at the market and were being eyed by everyone. I heard good things like: 'Are they together?' 'How did she get so lucky?' and 'they would make a cute couple.' Then there were some bad things like: 'How could Hyuga-sama allow his eldest to be near that demon?' and 'How dare she steal Namikaze-sama from us.'
I felt a little sad when I heard the last comment about me stealing him. For all I knew he just saw me as a friend who needed a place to stay. Then I remembered what my father had said 'maybe you can get him to marry you. Since no other high class ninja will.' That comment still hurt but I couldn't give up. I wonder if he still likes Sakura-chan after seeing her with Sasuke-san.
You could ask.
But I don't want to sound desperate.
Oh suck it up. What's the worst that could happen?
Um he could get mad at me.
I thought you grew a backbone.
Sorry. I'll try once you shut up.
…
I continued walking until I came to a herb and spice shop. I stopped to look at the spices. Naruto noticed I stopped and looked at what I was looking through. "Why do we need spices Hina-chan?"
I looked at him, smiled, and laughed "Because they make food taste better." He looked at me then nodded. "Let's see some of these and these" I said picking out several different spices and herbs. When I finished we paid and left. We went through several other places on our search. When I had everything I needed we began our trip home.
"Do you need help Hina-chan?" he asked offering a hand. I nodded then handed him a bag. We walked in silence for a while. After a while it became unbearable so I spoke up
"Naruto can I ask you something?" I kept my head down so I couldn't make eye contact. I waited for a response. Nervous as I was I wanted to ask him. I just hoped he didn't take it the wrong way.
"Uh sure Hina-chan. What's on your mind?" he said trying to sound normal but failed. I looked up to see him looking at me. His cerulean blue eyes capturing my pare lavender ones. I paused for a moment to think of how to phrase the words. Then I took a deep breath
"Naruto do you still see Sakura-chan the same way?" I was scared and curious at what response would be. I thought he might get mad and tell me to find some other place to stay but instead he replied
"No, I don't see her that way anymore. Now she seems more like an older sister. Besides all she ever did was hit me and call me a 'baka'." Then he turned and asked with a pleading look "would you hit me and call me a baka hina-chan?" his question startled me a bit I thought for a moment 'Would I? Could I?'
I looked at him and said "No, I wouldn't. I-I mean that wouldn't be very nice. You've opened your home and hospitality to me. Without thought you're a nice person to everyone even those who are mean to you."
"Hinata," his voice suddenly got very serious "Do you remember what you said when you stood between me and Pain. What I'm trying to say is: Hinata do you still like me?"
CLIFFHANGER NO JUTSU! Sorry I like adding suspense. Oh and my work week is Mon-Sat so Sunday doesn't count for a missed day. Sorry but I would still like reviews and cookies. That way I can share them with Gaara-sama. Yes he does too like to eat cookies. Hmph, until next time bye-bye.
