Hinata sighed as she sat on the rock next Kiba, happy as a clam. She looked down at her ring and giggled. Kiba rolled his eyes. "Yes, Hinata. You are going to be married to the Blondie." He shook his head lovingly.
Hinata giggled again and play glared at one of her best friends. "Is that jealousy I hear Kiba?" She smiled wide.
Kiba smiled softly. "No it's not, Hinata." He playfully shoved her with his shoulder and said, "I wonder how Naruto plans to ask you. You know, is he going with the cliché thing of asking you ate a fancy dinner? Or is he going original?" He scoffed. "Who am I kidding? He's going to walk right up to you and say, 'Marry me if you love me!'" He shook his head. "And we all know you'll say yes." He wrinkled his nose and looked at her. He smiled at her.
Hinata bit her lip. "I hope so. I kinda don't care how he asks. Just that he does." She giggled and looked away.
Is this the whole picture
Or is it just the start?
Is this the way you love me?
You're capturing my heart
I used to try and walk alone
But I've begun to grow
And when you tell me just to rest
I'm finally letting go
I let go
Naruto walked behind Imanski. When would they be to the stupid village they were going to? He had already agreed to Imanski's terms, with a few of his own thrown in there for good measure. But now, he wasn't sure if he wanted to do that. Because, really, he seemed to get the losing end of the deal.
"Hurry up Blondie. We're almost there."
Naruto rolled his eyes and stuck his tongue out at him. "Old man."
"Annoying brat."
Naruto glared at his back but grew excited as he saw the village gates. He started bouncing on the balls of his feet as he exclaimed, "We're almost there!" He wanted nothing more than to run and eat. He could hear his stomach rumbling, but first… he had to go that important thing.
"Can I run ahead?"
Imanski rolled his eyes/. This kid would be the death of him. "Future Hokage's do not run unless they have to. And that's only for important things."
"But this is important!!" Naruto really wanted to run to go do that thing.
"No it's not. It's not going anywhere."
Naruto huffed but stopped talking and continued following Imanski.
And I'm here to stay
Nothing can separate us
And I know, I'm ok
You cradle me gently
Wrapped in your arms.... I'm home
Hinata sighed again. "Oh I'm happy."
Kiba smiled sadly. "That's good. I hated seeing you sad." He hugged his best girl friend. He sighed.
Hinata heard that. She looked at him. "What's wrong Kiba?"
Kiba shook his head. "Nothing's wrong." He shook his head again and smiled wider. "So, how soon can I expect a little tyke to be running around asking me to play with him or her?" He smiled wider.
Hinata smiled as she imagined little children with Naruto's smile and his blue eyes. "I don't know." She looked up at him and smiled serenely. "But I hope it's soon. I can't wait to hold one of his beautiful children." She shook her head and blushed. "What about you? When are you going to settle down?"
Kiba chuckled. "You aren't even married yet and you're already trying to marry off your friends." He shook his head and said, "Besides, I'm too pretty to settle." He smiled, letting her know he was joking. "What we really need to worry about is getting Shino with someone." He smiled as he looked at the bug man.
Hinata laughed. "Yeah. We should. What should we do?"
"Get someone from the blind school?"
"Kiba! That's mean!"
"Sorry." He smiled sheepishly. "I was only kidding." He looked at his friend. "I remember him looking at this one girl when we went to the Sand Village. He was too shy to go and talk to her."
Hinata smiled. "I remember her. We should get him with her." She nodded, wanting to get started on her plan.
Kiba laughed and said, "We should get you married off first."
She smiled and blushed cutely.
I'm seeing so much clearer
Looking through your eyes
I could never find a safer place
Even if I tried
All the times I've needed you
You've never left my side
I'm clinging to your every word
Don't ever let me go
Don't let go
Naruto ran into his apartment and dove for his dresser. He had to get it quickly. He was going to- where the hell was it?!?!? He took the whole dresser out and emptied it on the floor. He looked at the mess before scrambling to look through said mess. Where the hell was the box?!? He looked up at Imanski and said, "It's not here."
Imanski's brow furrowed. "Is it possible she found it?"
Naruto thought. Could she have found it? No, no. She wouldn't look through his stuff. But…Kiba would. He shot to his feet and said, "She has. She didn't take it, but her friend did." He nodded and ran out of the room, waiting for Imanski to hurry up and follow.
Imanski followed at a slower pace. He already knew the girl was going to say yes. So why should he hurry? He walked outside and waited for Naruto to lock the door. "Hurry up slow poke."
Naruto glared over shoulder at him. "yeah, I'm the-"
"Hurry up boy. You open your lips too often and you won't see her quickly."
Naruto glared and finished locking his door. He turned and ran, not sure of where to go. Imanski rolled his eyes and made the signs to appear at training Grounds 8. He was a native of the Leaf village, so he knew his way around.
And I'm here to stay
Nothing can separate us
And I know, I'm ok
You cradle me gently
Wrapped in your arms.... I'm home
Hinata sat planning her marriage. *cough, cough planning Shino's love life cough, cough* She laughed as Kiba hatched a plan.
"Invite her to the wedding. She'll come, unsure of why she was invited and Shino will be shy- and probably blush!!- Then he can talk to her eventually, and they'll fall in love, and marry. Bam! Plan." He nodded.
Hinata rolled her eyes. "Wow Kiba. Maybe we should-"She looked at the strange blur running towards them. "What is that?"
Kiba looked where she was looking and saw…"Is that blob orange?"
Hinata nodded, wondering if it was her fiancé. She giggled to herself as she thought that.
And I'm here to stay
Nothing can separate us
And I know, I'm ok
You cradle me gently
Wrapped in your arms.... I'm home
Naruto continued to run, seeing her. He knew she was there, wearing his ring. Oh he needed to hurry and get to her. Make sure she knew this wasn't a promise ring, but an engagement ring. He didn't even know Imanski was already ahead of him and at the Training Grounds.
Imanski sat on a tree branch and watched as Naruto ran to his woman. This was better than any soap opera he'd ever seen.
Wrapped in your arms.... I'm home
Hinata's mouth fell open as Naruto came to a stop in front of her. "Naruto?"
Naruto smiled at her. "Yeah."
Hinata shook her head. "Wh-Why are you here?" Wait, that sounded like she didn't want him there. "I mean, I thought you were training with Imanski?"
Naruto swallowed quickly. "Ye-Yeah. I'm not anymore. I decided-"
"No!" Hinata shook her head and grabbed his shoulders. "I won't let you do this."
"Hinata let me explain. I-"
"No! You are not giving up your dreams on becoming Hokage. I won't let you." She shook her head, figuring that was why he was there.
Naruto shook his head. "Hinata let me-"
"You've wanted to be Hokage since before we were dating. I always knew you were going to do whatever it took to become that. I understand. Just go and come back when you can."
Naruto shook his head. "Hinata, you're not listening. I-"
"I'm not going to let you make this mistake. I can wait a couple years. I have before." She smiled at him, letting him know she was kidding.
Naruto shook his head. "Hinata, I-"
"Go!" She pushed him. "I'll be fine here. I know you love me and-"
He stopped trying to get through to her and kissed her instead. He pulled her closer and kissed her forcefully on the lips. Hinata continued to look at him, and then let her eyes close.
Naruto pulled back and asked, "Can I speak now?"
Hinata nodded.
"I'm still training with Imanski. He's still going to make me into the Hokage. But first, before I can do that, I have to…I have to…" He shook his head and pulled away from her.
Hinata looked hurt. "You have to what?"
Naruto smiled and dropped to one knee. "Will you marry me? I know you already know that I want to marry you." He grinned. "I just wanted to do it proper." He shook his head and re-asked, "Will you marry me?"
Hinata smiled and nodded quickly. "Ah-huh."
Naruto smiled wide and climbed to his feet and kissed her passionately and happily. Hinata smiled as she kissed him. He pulled back and said, "That's why I can't train with him right now. I have to marry you, and then go back to train with him." He smiled and kissed her.
Hinata smiled and kissed him back.
"Oh joy. I never expected that."
Naruto pulled away to glare at Kiba. "Yeah, I wonder why. Maybe because you were the one who found the ring?"
Kiba raised his eyebrows. "Why would you think that?"
Naruto raised one blonde eyebrow. "Because Hinata's too good to look in my things. You on the other hand, are not." He glared at the dark haired man.
Kiba chuckled sheepishly. "Yeah, we'll, she was always going to say yes. Ever think about that?"
Naruto smiled and nodded. "Yeah. I knew that already." He kissed her again and hugged her tight. She smiled into kiss.
