I don't own Naruto in any way, shape or form. Just a fan of the series peeps!

NaruHina getting closer in this chapter. Guest, (I'm guessing this person didn't have an account) gave me a good idea for a romantic moment. So I'll put my own spin on it. Enjoy metsoforte's. He he, vocab is wonderful.

Naruto woke up groggy, stiff and ironically still tired. Laying in a different room from before, but someone had the kindness to put a bouquet of flowers on the chair unlike the last one. 'Could it have been Hinata. She is full of surprises. I might just fall for her.' He looked around. To his left was a kitchenette complete with a stainless steel stove, sink and refrigerator. Also to his surprise he found that the cabinets on the wall made of a wonderful maple were filled with food. Tons of it actually. But on the counter was another shock. Cinnomon rolls, still in their package and not cooked yet. It was true the knucklehead worshiped ramen but the next best thing to him was any type of sweet. Morinaga to Sakuma Drops, you name it.

In the center of the room was a table with a standard red and white checkered table cloth strewn across it. Table settings on both sides.

On the left was a bright orange love seat and dark grey couch. Coffee table in the middle of these pieces of furniture. Just behind this was a door leading to what he proposed to be the bathroom.

'Wow someone put a lot thought into this room,' thinking about the orange loveseat. 'All of this preparation makes me feel like I should clean up my dashing looks a little bit.'

Aveser sighed, "Ya think?"

Albeit startled by the new presence in his mind he thought back, 'No need to rub it in.'

Hinata despite the scare with her father earlier and new info poured into her system, felt happy. Humming all the way down the hallway. She was about to bake Naruto-kun some cinnamon rolls when she realized she forgot the most important ingredient. Frosting! That was the best part in her opinion, it most likely would be Naruto's as well.

Trudging into the newly made cafeteria (yes Yamato built one of those) She sought out the chef. Or at least a staff member. In her perifrial vision to her contentment spotted Ayame and Teuchi from Ichiraku Ramen. They noticed Hinata as well not even seconds later. "Hello pretty lady, what can I do for you today?"

She immediately blushed at the kind man's comment while replying, "D-do you have any frosting? I need it for some cinnamon rolls I am making."

"Sorry but we don't have any premade. But I can give you the ingredients for it if you want."

"Arigato, sir."

As he turned behind the counter Shino quickly stepped from behind, giving her a wave. In his growly voice he said, "How are you Hinata-sama?"

"Very lovely Shino. Today I'm going to make Naruto breakfast."

Shino and Kiba had always been supportive of Hinata's crush on Naruto. Well, except when she fainted. Constantly encouraging her to talk to him, or confess her love at the most random moments. Really similar to brotherly figures, and for that she was grateful. Cause Neji was just too stoic. To mature for those kind of topics if that was even possible.

"Good I shall see you around, good day." He winked. 'Very unlike him.' Then she thought about the times in the hot springs. 'Maybe he can be a little bit of a pervert.'

"You as well Shino-kun."

Not moments later, as if answering to the call, Teuchi came out with the ingredients. She abruptly thanked him and took her leave.

Earlier morning that same day

Neji, Ten-ten and Lee always ate breakfast together. Always. Ever since they were genin, Gai-sensei said the flame of youth showed brighter with stronger friendships. Constantly comparing them to him and Kakashi was overstepping it a bit. But now eating with the team was just a habit. Before and after training they stuck together. Today was no different.

Silence while they ate was usual, until Neji blowing on his oatmeal asked, "Does anyone here sing?"

The ninja tool master listened gaze averted. Lee's eyes instantly bugged. "Why do you ask that my friend?"

"Well I went into the forest to train last night and heard someone singing. It was beautiful, never heard the song before though. Shinobi aren't known for their musical talent but this was… amazing."

Ten-ten turned a shade of red even Hinata probably couldn't best. 'Could that have been me? I was singing last night. I'm sure no one could have found me. Neji can be nosy though.'

Lee, quick to answer said, "I do not know of anyone who sings. But Naruto told me once that a vagrant ninja spy came to the Hidden Leaf once. She played an instrument and sang some old songs to further her disguise. He said she and Kakashi probably had a thing going on," he wiggled his eyebrows, "You know, of the sexual kind."

Both teammates promptly paled and sweatdropped. Envisioning Kakashi with women after reading all that porn, not a good thing. Except to the girl he was doing that to.

"Anyway," Neji continued, "I will try to find out who this mystery woman is."

"Oooh, ooh! Me toooo!"

The Hyuuga put it bluntly. "No."

Lee was crying a river, "Pleeeease!"

"Don't you dare give me those eyes."

Lee just increased the intensity of his puppy dog stare.

"Absolutely not."

Present time

Hinata bounded down the hallway with a spring in her step. Finding the door she opened it, expecting Naruto to be asleep. Well he wasn't.

"Hullo Hinata-chan!"

"Eeep," she chirped. Rather cutely in Naruto's opinion.

"Ooops did I scare you?"

She laughed. It was pealing bells, honey and all things sweet. "No you j-just startled me that's all."

"He looked down," asking, "Were you planning on making something?"

"Yes."

"Is it for me?" he inquired, giving her the forehead brow.

"Uuumm… well their was no other kitchen besides the cafeteria you could make personal dishes in but here."

The knucklehead looked crestfallen.

Inner Hinata cried, 'No, no you are messing this up. A way to really flatter a man is to think you are doing things just for him. Not for your own crappy excuses. Go and tell him.'

"But I wanted to make a special dish just for you and me. I hope cinnamon rolls is okay. I know you prefer ramen, to me this is like what ramen is to you.

"Totally fine Hinata. I love sweets as a close second."He grinned a cheesy smile.

"I'm sooo glad," she paused, "Um, do you need me to h-help you to your chair Naruto-kun?"

He blushed. "That would be great. I could use the help, thanks!"

Thirty or so minutes went by. The two spent it talking, and overall enjoying each others company. The baka couldn't help but notice how sexy she looked in that apron. Hitting himself silly later that he didn't notice before how beautiful she was.

Once the rolls were done Hinata joined him at the table."Tell me how they are. They might be a little overdone."

Naruto as usual took the first bite. His eyes rolled back into his skull in pure ecstasy. He glanced at the Hyuuga heiress now serious. "This just might be better than ramen," he said still with the big chunk he ripped off in his mouth.

She had to put a hand to her mouth to restrain herself from gasping. Shock turned into giggled from both sides. Giggles to laughs, and laughs to rolling around on the floor in merriment. After the fit the knuckled initiated a game of footsie, rubbing their feet together while talking.

Soon Hinata realizing it was ten o'clock and time for her to leave, Naruto saw her out. "I hope we can do this again sometime."

He quickly leaned down to her ear. Tickling her flesh while saying in sexy baritone, "Except next time, let me treat you."

This made the girl rigid and color like mad. She managed to squeak out, "It was my pleasure."

"Thank you," at that he leaned down even more and lightly brushed his lips against her in a ghost of a kiss. "I loved it."

'Oh Kami! Did he just kiss you? Nice girl!,' her inner congratulated.

"Goodbye Naruto-kun," she blushed feeling her blood pressure drop. If she didn't get out of there fast she might faint in his arms.

"Goodbye."

He closed the door behind her. 'Why did I just kiss her. Maybe I do like her. She's pretty, smart, funny and a great cook. What is there not to like." Touching his lips and shuddering in pleasure at his first attempt to kiss a girl. 'Hope she liked it as much as I did.'

Hinata sighed and leaned against his door. 'He kissed me. Naruto-kun kissed me.' The spot where his lips touched her cheek burned and radiated passion. 'That was wonderful. I wonder what he has in store for me?'

Dreamy thoughts floated around her for the rest of the day. And even into her sound sleep.

Fun fact) D-Grey Man is another series I absolutely cannot live without. Planning on making a Lavi and Lenalee pairing story in the near future.

1) This was a very fun chapter to write. After swim team I am beat, so what do. Write, duh :)

2) Loving the reviews people, support helps me keep writing.

3) Just in case you guys didn't know, Morinaga is a carmel like soft candy. While Sakuma Drops are a hard candy.

4)Have you Naruhina fans noticed that they have stereotyped Hinata's favorite food as cinnamon rolls. Wonder where they came up with that one. Though it does make sense. So long for now!
