Another thing: Expect a lemon on chapter 9 or 10 hehe D
For now, enjoy!
Chapter 7
At school on Monday…
"And then when he had to go, Hinata kissed him goodbye and I was surprised to see him kiss back. Hiashi was very pleased indeed." Neji finished explaining what had happened on Sunday and Tenten nodded every five seconds. Silence overwhelmed the whole table.
"You sure about that?" Temari asked cocking her head slightly to the side. "Best friends my ass!" She stood up after a small pause and hit the table with her fist.
"Hey, guys." Naruto greeted as he and Hinata approached the table hand in hand with Hinata. Instantly Matsuri stood up and walked towards Naruto. She grabbed his shirt and started shaking him back and forth.
"Why, why, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?" She yelled angrily.
"Whoa…" The blond grabbed one of her hands and gently pushed her away. "What are you talking about?"
"YOU going all lovey-dovey with HINATA!" Tenten said also standing up. "I'm a witness, I saw you kiss, I saw you hold each other, I fucking saw you cuddle!"
"What's the problem?" Hinata asked speaking for the first time.
"So it's true?" Gaara asked as he continued calmly to eat his rice.
What no one noticed was Kiba and Ino's unusual silence. They just sat there, resumed eating and looked at them with happy eyes.
"Yeah…"
"So you lied!" Temari protested. "Why did you-"
"Geez, don't jump to random conclusions." Naruto mumbled. "We didn't lie, at that time we were best friends."
"And it grew in one day?" Gaara asked. He would have been raising one brow if he had them.
"It always had something more than friendship, we all know that." Naruto said and smiled at Hinata. Everyone looked unpleased, but they sat down nonetheless and gave pouts to the two of them, even though all were grinning inside. They ate normally,, but their conversations still held a certain tension. It all flew away at the next comment.
"TELL US EVERYTHING!" Tenten said with a shriek following up. Just then the bell rang and Naruto and Hinata decided took that as a chance to change subject.
"Ooh, look! Math with Kakashi, we wouldn't want to be late!" Naruto said a little too fast. "Hinata-chan, let's go." Then the blond took Hinata's hand and both ran away.
"Wait!" Tenten shouted, but it was too late. Both were already out of sight. She sat back down in defeat and sighed, even though it didn't take too long for her lips to slowly form a smile.
"About time…" Temari commented.
Even though the couple didn't want to answer any questions, as soon as math ended they had to face their friends, including Sasuke who had immediately noticed his friend's proximity to the Hyuuga girl, but after a calm explanation, the only thing that was left were happy girls and goofy, teasing guys.
"Geez…" Naruto mumbled as they left them alone.
Ino wasn't known as the box of secrets for anything. She knew everything that was going on around school and told people that deserved to know something its respective secret. But she was loyal and kept them away from untrustworthy people… unlike Kakuzu, named "The School Gypsy". That guy was a senior and he somehow managed to find out about the smallest details around school. He told them to everyone alright, BUT people had to trade the knowledge he'd give them with something else… namely money. Now a secret about the school's hot-shot going out with the Hyuuga girl everyone found cute was huge and he charged 20$. But that didn't keep people from buying the secret and soon, almost everyone knew about it.
Two hours later, in the middle of lunch break…
"Have you heard?" Karin asked as she sat down next to Sakura, who was deep in conversation with Tayuya. Her presence shut them up, as they awaited the fresh news.
"About what?" The pink-haired girl asked. Karin saw the other red-haired mouth her 'no's and trying to keep her from telling Sakura the truth, but Karin ignored her.
"It seems like Naruto got himself a girlfriend." Something inside of Sakura seemed to pop. Her eyes widened and her face paled considerably as her mouth dried off.
"N-nani?"
"Seems you lost, honey. Naruto and Hinata are practically glued to each other all the time." She didn't know what to think. That freaky-eyed girl capturing Naruto's heart… stealing his kiss. Anger boiled inside of the pink-haired girl.
"I DID NOT LOSE!" Sakura snapped out of her sadness. As she looked around, most students in the cafeteria were staring at her, including Naruto and Hinata, both knowing what she was talking about. As she caught their eyes, her face turned beet red from anger and she turned back towards Karin and Tayuya. "Oh, he'll be mine. It's just a matter of time. Yes, that's it! He'll notice how much he missed the attention I give him and eventually he'll give up on the Hyuuga ho and kiss my feet as an apology." Both red-heads glanced at each other while nodding their heads fiercely. Their bodies showed agreement, yet their eyes held nothing but worry and disgust.
They were in the middle of Chemistry when Hinata's cell phone started to ring.
"I'm sorry, Anko-sensei." Hinata said as she tried to find her phone in her schoolbag.
"Just shut it off so we continue the class, uhm… ah, In-! No, that's the blonde one…"
"It's Hinata, sensei."
"Yeah! Sure, Renata!" Anko shouted, proud of herself. As Hinata finally got her phone and pressed the red button, Naruto, who had made sure to be sitting next to Hinata in every lesson, whispered over to her.
"Who was it?"
"My father. I'll call him back in the break. Must be something important, though. He only calls in emergencies."
"Father, did you call?" Hinata asked into the phone as Naruto waited nervously by her side.
"Hai, Hinata. I want you to invite Naruto and his family over to dinner on Friday, is that okay?" Her father's voice commanded in a nice way. "Since it's the last day of school I thought it'd be a pleasant idea. I am very pleased that you chose such a loyal man to be your boyf—"
"I'll ask him, father. I'm sure Naruto's parents want to meet our family as well."
"Good, tell him. December 18th! Now I have to go. My patient is waiting for me in the waiting room. Bye"
"Bye." She shut her phone off. "He wants to meet your family. Is Friday right after school okay?"
"He wants to meet my family?" Naruto asked cocking his head to the side.
"Yes, he likes you very much…" She giggled. Naruto grabbed her hips and pulled her into a tender kiss. They heard gasping and whispers, but only to show them that he had no shame in admitting his relationship, Naruto pulled Hinata even closer and rested his hand on her ass, which in turn caused the girl to squeak, but melt into it as he held the position. The whispers died out.
The gang was walking along and Temari spotted them immediately.
"Well, well, take a look at that." The rest was stunned. They knew that they were together and they knew that they were serious about their relationship. But they were making out in front of a rather big crowd.
"Hehe." Kiba laughed and smirked. He walked over to the couple. For a second, he forgot his problems. "Ooh, Naruto. Squeeze it harder." He made his own impersonation of Hinata, of course exaggerating the feminine voice and the pose. That immediately brought them back to reality and Naruto was pissed, which in result left Kiba on the ground with a red mark on his cheek. He laughed nonetheless.
"Are you okay Kiba?" Ino asked and bent down to examine his cheek. Of course the event from after the school's party wasn't helping their blushes, but Ino was too concerned to mind right now.
"FINE!" He jumped up and chuckled nervously. Ino looked at him with worry. Kiba apparently noticed that, because his laughter died out just to stare at the girl's blue eyes. His blush intensified, but he ended up just looking away from her.
"Geez, you're leeches." Hinata grumbled.
"Oh, come on. This is the last week before Christmas vacation, we have to spend time with friends." Temari said as she leaned against her own locker and eyed the couple happily. They looked so different. Naruto hardly ever talked to the gang before, even though they were good friends and Hinata, when the gang first saw her, was as shy as ever and stumbled over every two words and now here she was, making out with the school's hottest guy.
"That's right." She said with a grin. "Where are you spending Christmas?"
"My family and I are staying here… I guess." Ino replied.
"I'm staying home, as well." Kiba said.
"The branch Hyuuga family is going to spend Christmas at my place with Tenten's family." Neji grinned.
"Same with my family, the Nara family and Matsuri." Gaara responded. Everyone's eyes turned towards Naruto and Hinata.
"How about you?"
"Well, we still don't know. I'm staying at home and it is possible that Hina's family will stay with us." Naruto said with a slight blush covering his cheeks. If dinner with Hiashi went well, Kushina would doubtlessly insist for them to go over.
"Well, I'm glad we're finally gonna have a break. School is killing me." Tenten started babbling as they walked towards the room where they would have the last two classes they always had on Monday: Musical education with one of the kindest teachers in school, namely Kurenai-sensei. After three months, Sakura had been able to finally sing a song or two with Naruto, much to his disgust, so he and Hinata always tried to stay together so they wouldn't have too much pink around. But today, Naruto had other plans. He embraced her shoulders with one arm and leaned in.
"Hinata." He whispered into her ear. "Do you mind if I sing alone today?" He felt her body stiffen, so he kissed her cheek. "Don't worry; I have no desire of singing with Sakura. It's just, I have something planned."
"Bu-"
"Don't worry." The blond repeated. "You'll like it."
And of course he was right. Naruto requested Kurenai to sing a solo and (after complaints from Sakura) he sat down on a chair in front of class, took one guitar and sang and played.
Hinata recognized the song as "Far Away" By Nickleback. The best part: the gorgeous blond would never take his eyes off of her.
Sakura would shriek every five seconds and whisper into Karin's ear that Naruto was singing that song for her, even though both knew how wrong she was. Karin rolled her eyes. He obviously was singing it for his girlfriend and not for the most undesirable person for him at the moment. Naruto's voice enchanted the whole room and after he was done singing, most still had their eyes closed, delighted by the amazing song and the amazing voice. That silence was broken by Kurenai's clapping.
"Excellent as always, Naruto."
4 days later…
Class stood in their usual places in physics, while Tsunade wrote on the blackboard, explaining what she was writing while at it. But she then paused and turned to look at her surprisingly concentrated class.
"The bell will ring in two minutes, kids and after that happens you will be 'free' until January 11th. I will not give you any school work for your holidays, but I will make you do a quiz on the 15th, so beware." Just then, what everyone had been waiting for happened. The bell rung. Unknown by all, Namikaze Naruto was the only guy who wished it wasn't December 18th, the last day of school, for he was noticeably nervous for his meeting with Hiashi.
"Bye Temari!" Hinata said as she broke their hug and went straight to the last of their friends, Shikamaru. "Bye Shikamaru!" They broke again and Naruto did their usual fist bumping with him.
"We'll be seeing you next year! Enjoy yourselves." Temari said as she finally walked away with her boyfriend.
"Oh geez…" Naruto mumbled under his breath with a shaky voice he just couldn't suppress.
"It's okay, Naruto-kun." Hinata said and kissed him on the lips. "As I said, father likes you very much."
"Still, my parents will be there, I haven't even told them I'm going out with you yet, they think I'm taking them out to dinner as a celebration of vacations, and their worse than us teenagers. They'll tease me…us to no end throughout the whole dinner." Hinata giggled lightly at her boyfriends sudden change of mood.
"It'll be okay." Naruto sighed and regained his usual posture again.
"We'll arrive at 19:00, okay?" He asked. Hinata nodded, gave him one last kiss and went her own way, while Naruto walked the opposite direction.
"There you are son!" Minato said enthusiastically as Naruto entered the house. He and his wife were on their couch once again, waiting for him to arrive.
"We'll leave at 18:40 as planned, right?" Kushina asked.
"H-hai."
"Okay…" Silence followed the red-haired's words. The two adults were half expecting him to run up the stairs to get ready, but he didn't. He stayed there motionless, his eyes only slightly opened and showing hesitation.
"What's wrong, boy?" Minato asked. Naruto walked towards the two and took a seat on the one-person couch next to them.
"There's something I have to tell you two." He admitted. His parents exchanged worried glances before turning back to him and waiting for him to speak up.
"I'm not taking you to the restaurant I promised you."
"No?" Kushina asked. "Where are you taking us then?" Silence once again. They heard Naruto take a deep breath and felt his hesitation all over. Was it what Kushina thought was wrong? But it'd be a good thing. She looked at the jar on her left.
"My girlfriend's house."
"…"
"…"
"Guys?"
"…"
"SEE, MINATO? I KNEW IT! PAY UP" Kushina yelled as she picked the quarter jar up and practically shoved it into her husband's face. He sighed in defeat, reached in his pocket for a quarter and put it in the jar. "We're so proud of you son!" She said enthusiastically as she hugged him tightly.
"Anou… thanks. I guess."
"So we'll be meeting her family, eh?" Minato asked, already recovered from the small moment of surprise.
"Hai."
"What's her name?"
"Hinata."
"Hinata?" Kushina asked, wonder in her green eyes. Naruto saw as she broke eye contact with him to look at Minato.
"Yes…" Naruto answered curiously.
"Last name?"
"Okay, enough questions. We have to get ready." He excused himself and ran up the stairs to his room.
"Geez." He mumbled as he closed the door behind him and held it shut with his back. Naruto shook his head and went over to change.
"Do you think it's possible, Minato?" Kushina asked. The two of them were in their room as he zipped her dress up.
"It's highly probable… but I thought they were in Suna." The blond replied patting her back as he was done with the dress, signalizing her to turn around. So she did and faced her husband. "We'll soon find out, come."
Wooo, glad that's done with. I hope you liked it.
Remember to review, if you want, of course :)
Love you all.
