Yay a new chapter! Enjoy! :D

I still don't own Naruto.
Naruto sat on the bed, in the room that he and Hinata were sharing, waiting for Hinata to make her way out of the bathroom, so he could finally have a shower. He waited for another few minutes, until the bathroom door opened, and Hinata walked out, wrapped up in a plain white towel. Naruto just looked at her for a short while, until he realized exactly what he was doing, and then turned around, so he could no longer see the girl. "D-Don't look, please..." said Hinata shyly, blushing in the process, and partly had to drop the towel for a short while, so she could pick up her clothes, and then headed towards the bathroom to dress herself.
"Lady Tsunade, we have just received information that Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga have stopped at the village hidden in the sand!" said the chunin ninja who had opened the door to Tsunade's office, once she had given him permission. "Alright, send a message to the kazekage saying that he should send the two of the back over here within a week." replied Tsunade 'Kakashi said that Naruto really didn't want to come back... He is not officially banished anymore, since the elders banished him without my permission, but since he doesn't want to come back, we should treat him like a traitor... But I don't want to have Naruto killed, and I definitely don't want to kill him myself, so I'll just have to bring him back here!' Tsunade though, thinking about the current situation.
Naruto and Hinata both walked into the kazekage's office "What is it?" asked Naruto, slightly angry about having wake up at a time so early in the morning. "I just received a message from Konoha, saying that they want you two sent back there within a week..." said the red haired young man, getting straight to the point. "Well, I'm not going no matter whatever anyone says!" huffed Naruto, but then his expression lightened "But you can go, if you want... Hinata... You could just say that I forced you to come with me." continued Naruto, looking towards Hinata. "No! I'm staying with you!" said Hinata, much louder than she intended to, making her blush. "And... It also sais here, that the signature on the piece of paper that you were given by the elders stating that you are to be banished, was forged." Spoke the kazekage once again. Naruto had a thoughtful look on his face after he heard the last thing that Gaara had said, after about two minutes of thinking, Naruto finally made his decision about whether he wanted to go back to Konoha, or not. "No, as I said, I'm not going no matter what anyone says." Mumbled Naruto, not sure whether he had made the right decision, or not. "Well, I'm really sorry, but that means that you are going to leave this village soon anyway, because I can't just keep you here, because if I did there would be extreme consequences..." said Gaara, in a slightly apologetic tone of voice.
Naruto walked into his and Hinata's room, the shy girl in question right behind him. Both of the two sat down on their double bed, after a while of silence, Hinata decided to take a shower, since she didn't get a chance to do so before, due to the fact that she was woken so early, by the sand ninja that had let them know that Gaara had wanted to see her and Naruto. After that, Naruto also decided to take a shower, even though, at first he didn't want to. Then the pair went out, to explore the sand village, and then arrived back at the hotel at night, as soon as Naruto got into his room, he threw himself on the bed.
Naruto slowly opened his eyelids, and eventually he realized what was causing the warmth he was feeling. Hinata was snuggled up against him, with a small blush on her face 'She looks so cute like that...' thought Naruto, smiling slightly at what his thoughts were about. And then Hinata opened her eyes, realizing what was happening, and jumping back her blush increasing in size. Two days later, the two finally decided to leave the village hidden in the sand. Gaara had sent a message to the leaf village, stating that the pair had run away, and that Gaara had sent a team of ninja after them, but they had been unable to catch them.
Three days later:
A man, dressed in the basic chunin uniform walked into the hokage's office, bowing to the woman sat at her desk, with a huge number of documents in front of her, waiting to be signed. "A reply from the sand village regarding Naruto and Hinata has arrived!" said the chunin, walking over to Tsunade, and handing her a scroll, which contained the kazekage's message. After the hokage of Konoha read the message, she smirked. 'Heh, he probably let them go...' thought Tsunade, knowing that Gaara was Naruto's friend. "Ok, well it looks like we're going to have to send another team of ninja after them..." said the blonde hokage, her face turning slightly sad in the process. 'No wonder Naruto doesn't want to come back, most people hate him over here...' thought Tsunade sadly.
A blonde male, and a dark blue haired female jumped from tree to tree, to nowhere in particular. All they were trying to do is get a decent distance away from the sand village, so that any Konoha ninja would have a hard enough time trying to find them. Eventually, they decided to pitch their tent, so they did. And once the two were together in the tent for quite a while, Naruto began to speak, knowing that the girl he was speaking to was wide awake, just like him "Hey, Hinata... I-I still kinda feel guilty about how I let the Kyuubi nearly... You know, kill you." he said, slightly struggling to do so. "O-Oh, don't feel guilty, Naruto... You weren't in control of what you were doing!" Hinata replied. "Yeah... I guess you're right!" said Naruto, his voice changing to its usual happy tone. The two teens spent another four days undisturbed, camping in the same place, they didn't know it yet, but it was a mistake to stay in the same place for so long...
On the fifth day that Naruto and Hinata decided to stay camping in the same place, early in the morning, Naruto went out to a nearby river, trying to get him and Hinata some breakfast, like he had done the day before. The blonde sat there at the edge of the river, throwing kunai at fish that decided to jump up, above the surface of the water. Naruto was just about to throw a kunai, when heard a loud feminine scream, coming from the direction of where Naruto knew Hinata was. The genin didn't waste any time, immediately jumping onto his feet, and running as fast as he could towards where had heard Hinata's scream come from. 'Oh crap! I hope Hinata is alright!' thought Naruto. 'Damn it! We shouldn't have stayed in the same place for so long!' shouted Naruto in his mind. When the blonde genin got to their camping spot, Hinata was nowhere to be found.
Once the blonde jinchuuriki realized that Hinata was nowhere around where he was searching, he quickly climbed on top of the tallest tree he could find near to him, and then looked around from the very top of it, and after a short while, he spotted her being carried by a ninja in the distance. Immediately, Naruto jumped off of the top of the tree, and moved, quicker than he had ever moved before, towards the girl who had always believed in him. 'Who the hell are these guys who took her anyway?' asked Naruto from himself 'I bet they're leaf ninja again!'
"Who did you send after them this time?" questioned Hiashi. "A team of jonin... Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai, and also, two of the newly promoted jonin." Replied the hokage. Hiashi put a slight smirk on his face, but it soon disappeared 'This time, the results should be better.' thought Hiashi. 'Your life is near its end, demon brat!' Hiashi continued thinking. "Could you please leave now, Hiashi? I have lots of paperwork to do." said Tsunade. "Of course." said the leader of the Hyuga clan, turning around, and exiting the room, hoping that the outcome of this situation will be a good one.
Author's Note:
Right... You might think that this chapter was a little boring, but never fear, something big will be happening in the next chapter. XD (Maybe, maybe not, I'm not exactly sure, since my plans might change by then!) :) Also, I will be now taking a two day break from writing, which means, that there will be no new chapters on Thursday and Friday (probably :P). This is because I need to do some research for this fanfic, and some other reasons too, like I just want a break... -_-
