Yes, the story is soon coming an end. =)
This is Orange Umbrella Season 2. Lol I'm honestly treating this as an anime.
Orange Umbrella Season 2 Opening Song: Uruwashiki Hito by Ikimono Gakari
Chapter Eight: Because of her, it's wartime!
Hinata ran through the hallway as she desperately tried to search for Kiba. She sighed after realizing she could not find him. She walked towards her locker and grabbed the text books she would need for today's classes.
"Hinata-chan."
She jumped as the deep voice frightened her.
"Oi! Sorry." Kiba said as he patted her on her back.
She turned around. "Kiba-kun, I am so sorry!"
Kiba shook his head. "It's okay. I should have reminded you the night before." He said smiling down at the girl.
Hinata looked at him awkwardly. Either Kiba had a bipolar disorder or he was finally losing it, and quite frankly, Hinata was worried. "Kiba-kun, are you feeling okay?" she asked as she went on her toes. She felt the boy's forehead to feel if he was coming down with something.
This made Kiba laughed. "I'm doing well." He spoke as he wrapped his arms around her waist. This sudden action made Hinata blushed. "Let's hurry up to class." He said pulling her.
"Um… okay." She said as she let Kiba pulled her to class.
The two entered the classroom and took their seats. The other students started to enter the classroom, making loud noises as they piled into the class. Sasuke entered the classroom, his hands in his pocket. Behind him followed Ino and Sakura who were smiling. Next came in Choji, along with Shino.
"Good morning, Hinata-chan, Kiba." Shino said acknowledging the two.
"Good morning!" Kiba said grinning.
Hinata eyed Kiba suspiciously. "Ohayo, Shino-kun."
Shino nodded his head in approval as he made his way in the back of the class. Hinata turned to face Hinata, who was grinning like a maniac.
"Kiba-kun." Hinata said with all seriousness in her voice.
Kiba turned in her direction, and blinked. "Yes?"
"Are you feeling well? Do you need to go to the nurse office?" Hinata asked.
Kiba opened his mouth to object, when the room door opened. "Ow." Kiba said holding onto his side.
Hinata rushed to his side.
"Hey is Inuzuka okay?" Ino asked as she got up.
Shino also got up and rushed to Kiba's side.
"Ye… ow." He said gripping his side.
"Let's go to the nurse office." Hinata said as she helped Kiba up.
"Do you want me to come?" Ino asked her.
"I'm oka- ow." Kiba said wincing in pain.
"I'll take him." Hinata said reassuring Ino and Shino. "Can you tell sensei what happened?"
Ino nodded her head. Hinata helped Kiba to the door. As the two past Naruto who had just entered, Hinata did not notice him, however, Kiba smirked at Naruto and mouthed, "Bring it."
Naruto narrowed his eyes. "Hinata-chan, I'll help Kiba-kun to the nurse office."
The kids stopped in their tracks and stared at Naruto awkwardly. Hinata noticing Naruto, stopped in her tracks, Kiba turned to face Naruto.
"That's okay, Hin-
"I insist." Naruto said smirking. He gently pushed Hinata out of the way and wrapped his arm around Kiba's neck. "I wouldn't want Hinata-chan to miss the assignments." He said smiling at the girl. "Now go back to your seat." He said politely. "I'll deal with Kiba." He said gripping his neck tightly, causing the poor dog boy to choke. He pulled Kiba out of the classroom, leaving a shock class full of students behind him. Hinata stared at the door. This day was surely strange.
What seem like an hour, Naruto had made his way into the class, the teacher nodded his head, knowing the incident that had already taken place. Naruto walked down the aisle and past Hinata. Her head shot up, as she felt him brushed her arm. Her cheeks reddened. She wanted to turn back, but she decided against it.
"I'll check on Kiba-kun during lunch." Hinata thought to herself. She sighed. She hoped the boy wasn't hurting anymore, he seemed like he was in so much pain. Also, a part of her still felt really bad for ditching Kiba like that, she would make it up to him.
After the teacher had left the class, some students stormed past the teacher to get to the lunchroom. Hinata put her books away, and got up. She turned to Shino and said, "I'm going to see if Kiba is doing well enough to come back to class."
Shino got up. "Okay, but I have to go to a club meeting."
Hinata nodded her head as she watched as Shino walked out of the room. She was going to follow behind him, until somebody had pulled her back. She yelped. She turned around and saw Naruto standing behind her. He had a stern look on his face.
She tilted her head to the side. "Um… y-yes?" She stuttered.
Naruto turned his head and shoved his hands into his school pocket. "Do you want to eat lunch together?" he mumbled.
Hinata had a hard time hearing him. "Excuse me?"
He sighed. "Do you want to have lunch?"
Hinata was taken back. "Um…." She thought about it for a moment. Naruto was basically asking her out to lunch, but she owe so much to Kiba. "Sorry, N-Naruto-kun. I have to see how Kiba is doing." She bowed.
Naruto right eye twitched. "I'm pretty sure he's doing fine."
"Would you like come with me?" she offered.
Naruto scoffed. "No." he said walking away.
Hinata was confused. Naruto seriously had some major issues. She shrugged her shoulders and walked out of the room. Naruto sat back down into his chair and stared out the window. This was going to be tougher than he thought. He still had a hard time trying to be not so scary and not to show attitude, but damnit! She was making it to difficult is what he thought.
"Shizune, how do you know if your kid is plotting to kill you?" Tsunade asked her best friend of thirty years.
Shizune giggled. "Tsunade-sama, Naruto is not plotting to kill you."
The two ladies were inside her office and were having a brief discussing on how to the demolishment of Konoha High School, until Tsunade asked that question. Tsunade sighed.
"Did you two get into another fight?" she asked worriedly. If Tsunade was stressed about the schoolboard, it was Naruto. "Honestly, I don't understand why you put up with him or got yourself in that predicament." She spoke. "Wouldn't it be better just to send him back- for good."
"What point is it? They'll just kick him out when he turns eighteen. But that's not the point." She said shaking her head.
"So what's the matter?" Shizune asked.
"We did, well I got into an argument with him yesterday, you know the whole where were you? Why didn't you tell me? Just going off on him, but I'm baffled because he wanted to talk around 11 in the night."
Shizune eyes widened. "Go on." She said crossing her legs.
Tsunade closed her eyes as she tried to recall last night.
"Baa-chan, we need to talk."
Tsunade was slipping on her nightgown when she heard the knock on the door, then Naruto spoke. She groaned. She didn't want to argue, but somehow something felt different; the way he knocked, and the way he spoke. It was much calmer.
She opened the door. "Yes?" she said.
"Can I come in?" he asked.
She moved to the side and let the boy in. He walked over to a chair she had in the room. He took his seat and folded his arms. Tsunade sat on the edge of the bed. It was awkward between the two. The last time Naruto came into her room was when he was eight. He was upset about being bullied at school.
"You said you wanted to talk."
Naruto gripped his khaki pants he wore earlier that day. He looked down. "I wanted to apologize." He mumbled.
Tsunade eyes widened. "Gomen, I don't-
"I said I'm sorry." Naruto said staring at her.
"I was sure this was the moment he was going to be like fool ya and take out a gun and shoot me." Tsunade said to Shizune, who was taking interest in the story.
Tsunade gulped. "I-
Naruto raised his hand. "I just wanted to apologize for my attitude and I will try to change for the better, although I cannot make you any promises." He said. "I won't change overnight, so take your time. When I'm eighteen though, I will leave your house and you won't hear from me ever again. Hopefully this will ease your mind."
"Naruto, I don't want you to leave." Tsunade said truthfully.
Naruto scoffed. "I know it's something you want. You always say it, but this isn't the time for-
Tsunade interrupted him. "No, this is an excellent time to clear somethings up." He stared at her. "I understand you want to change, great, but I'm not pushing you out of my life. I just want you to follow my rules because I'm the one who's taking care of you." She spoke. She wasn't trying to sound emotional, but her female hormones were kicking in. "I worry about you, I worry about where you are, who you are with? You don't tell me anything and I deserve to know." Naruto straightened his back in the chair. "I can't sleep, unless I know you are here, or at least tell me where you are! Then I would be at ease." She said as the tears began to gather in her eyes.
He felt bad at first, but he rolled his eyes. "You can stop your pathetic acting." He yawned. "You said it-
"I know what I said and did!" she shouted. "You don't have to keep reminding me. I was afraid-
"You always said you were afraid!" he said as he jumped up. Tsunade got startled. "How do you think I felt? I was afraid too!" he said hitting his chest. "You know the feeling you get when you get to hear those words, 'Naruto, somebody wants to see you.' It's like your heart does a little cartwheel because I figured you had finally came back for me." It was his turn to get teary. "I spent months thinking I had done something wrong for you to hate me! But I guess it's just that easy, huh?" he scoffed. "To get rid of somebody, a child."
Tsunade couldn't say anything as the tears fell on the floor.
"Then Yoko-chan." He whispered. "You guys never cared! Nobody cares about us." He gritted his teeth. "She didn't deserve to die like that." His voice had cracked. "We were told that someday we would be in a good home, where they'll love us, take care of us." He held his chest. "Somehow we believed you guys." It hurt so much. "You know where half of my friends are? Some abandoned me when I stuck up for them, the others ignored me, but the worst of all are the ones I trusted most. They're dead. Yoko is dead. Len is dead. So where does that leaves me? I'm going to end up just like them!" he fell to his knees and cried. Tsunade was paralyzed. "You know how many times I wanted to end it." He sobbed. "All we wanted was love, somebody who actually cared about us."
"Gomen! I'm sorry." Tsunade screamed. "I was doing my friends a favor." She confessed. Naruto raised his head up.
"A friend?" he questioned.
She was crying. "Your mother and father died in a car accident, the day she was released from the hospital with you. The brakes suddenly stopped working and there was a major car accident." She said covering her eyes. "It took a long time to find which orphanage you were at, but we found you."
Naruto eyes widened. She had known his parents. "We?"
"My fiancé, Jiraiya, and I." she said.
'Fiancé?' Naruto thought. He didn't know the woman was soon to be married.
"We found you and took you home to live with us because it was your father and mother's wish." She had stopped crying. She looked down, ashamed to look at him. "Your parents were like our children."
"How…"
"We used to teach them in high school." She said. "They were good students." She smiled remembering the past. But her smile vanished. "I loved your parents, they were my children." She cried once more. "I couldn't have any, but then your mother came along and she was like the child I never had and a couple months later, your father joined the school. The two connected instantly."
Naruto stared down at the beige carpet.
"I was devastated when I found out they had died, but they had you and we knew it was our mission to take care of you. That's what they had have wanted. Then two years later, Jiraiya was murdered by a group of boys he used to teach in middle school." Tsunade said holding her chest. "I was completely shocked by the news; I was alone with a child, started drinking my problems away, gambling. I couldn't take care of a child when I was in no condition to take care of myself." She laughed. "I'm such a pathetic woman." Silence engulfed the room. "And every time I felt like I was getting better, I came back for you, much to Shizune's protest, then I fell back into the same habit." She shook her head. "I wanted to protect you from me. I felt as if I were to continue to go down this path, I would hurt you because I blamed you for everything that happened… to your parents, Jiraiya, my life."
Tsunade got up and walked over to Naruto. She knelt down and bowed. "Please forgive me." She cried. "I don't want to be alone again."
There was another silence. Naruto wiped his eyes. "Ne, were my parents good?" he asked.
Tsunade raised her head and stared at Naruto. She too wiped her eyes. She nodded her head. "They were good people." She smiled, the tears ran down her cheeks.
Naruto looked down as his tears splattered in the palm of his hands. "I'm sorry." He said hugging her. Tsunade returned the hug. He gripped onto her tightly and let the tears flowed.
"You told him…" Shizune said. She looked away.
Tsunade sighed. "I had too. It was eating me up on the inside. The more he grew the more he looked like them."
Shizune wiped her eyes. "Do you still think he's plotting to kill you?" she laughed, some tears fell to the floor.
Tsunade shook her head and chuckled. "I don't think so." She said fixing the picture of her and Naruto, when he was five on her desk.
"Kiba-kun, are you feeling well enough to go to class?" Hinata asked him.
"Yes." Kiba said smiling.
Hinata smiled, but it turned into a frowned. "How did you get that?" she said pointing to the bruise around his neck.
Kiba thought about it for a moment. "Uzumaki." He said.
Hinata was dumbfounded. "I'm sure he didn't mean to do it."
"You're probably right." Kiba said. He smiled once more. "It was probably an accident or not…" Hinata was outraged. "But I think he meant to do it. I told him he was hurting me, but he continued to wrap his arm around my neck, then he punched my side." He said holding his left side.
Hinata shot up. "Why would he do that?"
Kiba held his stomach in pain. Hinata went to his side. "I didn't want to tell you this, but Naruto and I never really got along." He said. "I tried too because I know you cared for him, ow, ow." He said gritting his teeth. Hinata was worried.
"Do I need to get the nurse?" she asked.
"No. No. I'm okay." He said sucking up the pain. "I missed and stepped on his shoes then he snapped and hit me in my gut, but it's my fault I deserved that." Kiba said laying back on the bed.
"I'll be right back." She said tightening her fist. She stormed out of the room. Kiba grinned as he rested his hands behind his head. "Too bad Narutard." Kiba smirked. "This is too easy."
Hinata stormed into the classroom and made her way in the back of the class. Luckily for her, the class was only had one student. Uzumaki Naruto. "Uzumaki-san!" she gritted her teeth.
The boy hadn't budge. She hit the desk he had rested his head on. Fear struck her as he lifted his head slowly. She shook her head as she stared at those deep blue eyes. She shook her head once more. "Uzumaki!"
Naruto was baffled. When did Hinata call him Uzumaki and why did she looked as if she was about to kill him. "Uh?"
"You owe Kiba-kun an apology. You can't hit people whenever you feel like it!" she said.
Naruto was confused on the subject. "Hinata-chan what are you talking about?"
"All he wanted was to be good friends with you. Why did you hurt him?" she questioned.
Naruto stared at her. The girl had so much determination in her eyes, it hurt him. Did she care that much for Kiba? He sighed. Obviously, Kiba had lied to girl.
"Gomen." He said. He got up. "I would like to apologize to him."
Hinata still stared at him. "I don't like people who hurt my friends." She told him. "Your apology is not needed."
Elementary School-6th grade.
"People who abandon their friends are worse than trash!" Naruto shouted as he defended his friend Mario. The other boys scoffed. "I don't like people who hurt my friends." He said tightening his fist. He had just gotten into a fight with five boys, who was bullying his friend, Mario.
Days later…
Mario ran past Naruto, who was waving at him. He ran up to the group of boys who were just bullying him a few days ago. Naruto tilted his head in confusion.
During lunch
"Stupid." One boy said as he kicked Naruto into his stomach.
"Believe it." The other one mocked as he also kicked Naruto.
There were several boys circling the smaller child as they kicked and spit on him. He opened his eyes and saw Mario standing out in the distance, he had turned his back.
"Gomen." Naruto said. He walked away from her and out of the classroom.
Hinata dropped her head. Kiba was there for her, when she was getting picked on he stood up for her, no matter how big the other kids may be, he was there. He fought her battles and he looked out for her, but there was a point in time when Naruto was there for her. He was the one that brightened up the class, but somewhere along middle school, he stopped all of that. He skipped class, he stopped making jokes, no longer laughing, and all together he stopped coming to school.
She wondered what had happened to him. He and Sasuke were friends also, then the incident that happened in the Uchiha household changed Sasuke, completely, but somehow Sasuke managed to survive a little bit, with Naruto's help, but she didn't know what happened and suddenly Naruto wasn't Naruto any longer.
But still, she couldn't like those who treated her friends wrong, especially when they were only trying to be nice.
Hinata stepped out of the classroom and went to Kiba's aide.
Kiba was well enough to come back to class.
"How are you feeling Inuzuka?" Ino asked him.
"I'm doing well, now. I just needed some rest." He said as he went to sit back down.
Hinata also made her way into the classroom and spotted that Naruto was not there. His bag was also gone. She sat in her seat.
Naruto was laying down in Tsunade's office. He had told the lady his head was hurting. She offered to take him to the hospital, but he refused. He stated that he just needed some rest. She agreed since the two had a long night with tears and smiles.
"Baa-chan." He said. He was laying on a red long sofa.
Tsunade glanced at him. "Can we go with Tsunade-sama, or senpai… not baa-chan." She growled.
Naruto smirked. "I'll think about it."
"What is it?" she asked.
"I like somebody."
Tsunade blinked. All she thought about was him being at that age where hormones take place, sex, and trying new things. "If you need condoms I will gladly provide them for you."
Naruto nearly fell off of the sofa. "Baa-chan!" he cried.
"I know you know I can't have kids, Naruto. And I wouldn't mind a few grandchildren, but I would rather you find a good woman, become something, but it's okay. I'll love you no matter what, and remember children are not a mistake… and…
"Baa-chan! No…" he blushed. "I just like somebody, please let's not talk about sex it's really awkward." He said rubbing the back of his head.
Tsunade giggled. "So who's the girl?"
"As if I would tell you." He said stretching on the sofa. "I just like her. I figured I can at least tell you what's going on in that part of my life." He smiled.
"Does she likes you?" she asked.
"I don't, but she's been to the house tw-
Tsunade head did a 360. Naruto covered his mouth. He was not supposed to tell her that.
"You had a girl in my house!" she screeched. "You two had sex. I just know it. Did you wear a protection?" she got up. She was pacing back and forth. "Wait, you had sex in my house?" she eyed him. "No Tsunade, don't get mad… hormones just kicked in."
Naruto had a huge sweat drop in the back of his head. This was going to be a long day.
"I'll walk home this afternoon." Naruto told Tsunade as he put on his shoes.
"I might be home a little late." She told him. "We are having a meeting with the school board of Konoha."
Naruto nodded his head. "Ja ne." he said closing the office door.
He threw his backpack over his shoulder and headed out of the school. It was a little after hours, so the school was empty, besides the other students with their club activities. As he headed out the gate he bumped into somebody causing that person to fall to the floor.
"Gomen." He heard a soft voice.
He extended his hand and the person took it.
"I should have watched were I was going." The person mumbled.
"It's okay." Naruto said. He examined the woman. Long black hair that stopped to her mid back, black soft eyes and pale skin. She was short and petite. She wore a white blouse with long pencil skirt. She reminded him a little bit of Hinata, except she was a little older. That's when it struck him.
"Sasuke's mom?"
Her eyes widened. "Naruto-chan." She cried. She hugged the taller boy. "It's been so long since I've seen you." She said pinching his cheeks. Naruto blushed. "How have you been?" she asked.
He rubbed the back of his head. "I've been okay."
She smiled. "You should visit me more often." She told him. "I miss you."
Awkward. "Y-yes, I should."
"Have you seen Sasuke-chan?" she asked. "I'm here for the schoolboard meeting." She rested her hands on her hips. "Do you believe they are trying to shut this place down and destroy it." She puffed. "As if I would let that happened."
Naruto smiled. "Hai, I hope they don't destroy it."
"Sasuke-chan!" Mikoto, Sasuke mom, said as she waved for the boy to come near them.
Sasuke groaned. What was Naruto doing with his mom.
"Mother?"
"Sasuke-chan, I was just telling Naruto how much I missed him. It's been so long." She said hugging the two boys. The two groaned. "You two should get together and spend some time with one another." She demanded.
They groaned once more. She looked at her watch. "Gah, the meeting is in less than a minute." She turned around. "I'll see you tonight Sasuke. Naruto spend some time with Sasuke. Okay? Love you two." She said as she ran up the stairs.
The two boys looked at one another.
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "I see that you're so stupid"
"And I see your mom is still a milf." Naruto shot back. (Mother I'd like to FLAMINGO!)
Sasuke stared at the boy disgusting. "And you still have the hot for my mom?"
Naruto grinned. "What can I say, I like older woman."
If it was anyone else to say anything like to his mother, Sasuke would have smacked the shit out of their mouth, but he and Naruto had been friends so long, he had gotten use to the blonde idiot flirting with his mom or talking about her.
"Naruto, that's disgusting." Sasuke said.
"Oh really, you weren't saying that about Baa-chan some years ago." He responded.
Sasuke face reddened. "I have nothing more to say."
The two stood there, quiet. "I guess we're too old for this shit." Sasuke said.
"I was thinking the same thing." Naruto said rocking back and forth on his heels.
"Do you want to come over and play black ops 3?" Sasuke asked.
"So I can kick your ass in it? Sure why not?" he grinned.
He took out his cell phone and texted Tsunade:
Naruto: Going by Sasuke house to kick his ass on black ops 3. 6:30pm
Naruto: It's a game, don't worry. 6:30pm
Sasuke scoffed. "We'll see."
"Let's." Naruto glared at him.
Sasuke glared back at him. The two stormed off, more like began a race to see who would get to Sasuke house faster.
"The sun was in my eyes." Naruto shouted as he lost the game.
Sasuke stared at Naruto. "It's night, baka!"
Naruto glared at him. "I meant the dusk specs."
"You're just a loser." Sasuke said as he threw a cheese puff in his mouth.
"I haven't been over your house in a long time." Naruto said as he sat on the floor of Sasuke's room.
"Yeah, you haven't."
Naruto sighed. "It's been how long since the incident?"
"Five years." Sasuke said.
"Sorry. I should have never said that to you in the restroom."
"And I'm surprise your crazy brother didn't kill you no your mother when he had the chance." (Chapter 7)
. "Nah, it was my fault. I was the one getting underneath your skin." Sasuke laughed. "Besides we should have saw it coming, him having schizophrenia and all."
Sasuke drank some pop soda. Naruto rested the controller on the floor. "I can't wait for summer!"
Sasuke laughed. "Me too. I need a break."
Naruto chuckled. "All that running you do; I don't see how you have the strength to come to school the next morning."
"Those girls will be the death of me." He sighed.
"Do you want to walk to school tomorrow?" Naruto asked him.
"Sure, I need to stop the convenience store before I go anyways." Sasuke started a new game.
"I can eat some ramen there too!" Naruto grinned as he and Sasuke joined a death match."
Sasuke frowned. "You still eat those."
"I sure do." Naruto said.
"I hate those things."
He shrugged. "Hinata-chan makes some good ramen."
Sasuke person died when he heard Naruto said that. "Woah, Hyuga-san cooks for you?" he grinned. 'It's about damn time you noticed.' He thought.
"Yeah, but she snapped on me." Naruto sucked his teeth. One of his team members had killed him. "What the freak!" he said pointing at the screen.
"Why did she snap?" Sasuke asked curious.
"Cause that boy, Kiba. Talk some shit I guess and she got mad at me when I wanted to apologize to the boy. I was so confused." Naruto said baffled.
"Do you like her?"
"Isn't it obvious? I offered to apologize." Naruto said going on a shooting spree.
"Awe my. Love." Sasuke laughed.
"Now I have to find some way for her to notice I like her or Kiba is going to snatched her away from me." Naruto said throwing the controller on the floor. Their team had lost.
"Or you can tell her how you feel?" Sasuke suggested.
"What and ruin the plot?" Naruto said. (Lol, in case you didn't know. Ed, Edd, n Eddy)
"She'll come around." Sasuke replied.
"I'm trying to change for her, and for the better." Naruto drank a soda.
"Oh really?"
"I can't stay away from her or stop thinking about her." He said rubbing his forehead. Then he went to tell Sasuke the whole story from what had happened.
Sasuke was baffled. "You've been through all of that?" He felt guilty. He and Naruto had been friends since the beginning fourth grade, but he had and moved and came back where he met Naruto again during 7th grade. "You've been through hell and back… how did you even managed?"
Naruto looked at him. "I don't think I was going to make it to the summer." He yawned. Sasuke was dumbfounded. "Hinata-chan was the reason why they aren't holding a memorial service for me."
"You say it so casually…"
"I've been talking with myself for a long time about it now. Hinata-chan was the little light I needed to crawl out of that dark hole."
Sasuke nodded his head. He would tell Naruto that it was obvious the girl had liked him for some time, but it wasn't his place. Everything happened for a reason and if the two were meant to be they will find each other.
"Ganbatte!" Sasuke shouted.
"I'm going to walk with Sasuke to school." Naruto told Tsunade who was sipping on some coffee. She had stuck out her tongue. She was trying to get use to drinking something else besides sake in the morning.
"You and Sasuke are friends again?" she asked.
"We were always friends. I hope you don't mind if I spend the night by him." Naruto said.
"Go ahead. I trust Sasuke-kun." Tsunade said reading the newspaper.
"I'll text you before I go to bed." Naruto said rushing out of the house.
He walked over to the convenience store, Lucky. It was really hot today, that most boys in the Konoha area decided to not wear their blazers. Sasuke stood out the door with his hands in his pocket.
"I'm here." Naruto said.
"It's about time." Sasuke said as he walked into the store. Naruto followed behind him. He took seat at the window and slurped on some ramen. Sasuke soon joined him with a plate of warm rice balls.
"How long do we have until school starts?"
Sasuke looked at his watch. "Twenty minutes."
Naruto nodded his head. "I'm telling you. Hinata-chan should become a cook and open up her own restaurant." The two were walking to school. "Speaking of like, do you have feelings for anyone at the school?"
Sasuke thought about it. "No… I don't think so."
"Ah, strange. Didn't you like Karin?"
Sasuke turned to face him. "I used to. Then she became slutty and an air head." He said. "I prefer a girl with brains and dignity for herself.
(If you like Sasuke, well in this story. You can give me a pairing you would like to see him with and I'll write about him and his love interest base on your votes.)
They walked into the building, getting eyes from the students. Some were baffled. They hadn't seen Naruto and Sasuke together in a long time. Something was shaking up in class 1-2, and it seemed like everyone would be pulled in.
Naruto opened up the door for Sasuke. "I'll be right back." He told him. Sasuke nodded his head as he walked to his seat, only to be flocked by a bunch of his fans.
Naruto walked over to Hinata who was walking along with Kiba and Shino. He stepped in front of them. Hinata glared at him. She took Kiba by the hands and was about to walk around him, when Naruto bowed. "Gomen." He said.
Shino looked at him. Along with Kiba and Hinata. Naruto had figured if he was going to win Hinata's heart, hurting the people, physically, she cared most for would not win her over.
"Gomen Inuzuka-san. I hope we can be friends."
Some students seen this were baffled. They talk amongst one another.
Hinata smiled. Kiba tightened his fist after seeing Hinata smiled. He smiled. "I hope we can." He said also bowing.
Naruto knew the boy didn't like that. He couldn't help but smirk. If he couldn't hurt Kiba physically, he would have to do it mentally.
"Arigato, Naruto-kun." Hinata said walking up to him. "I'm sorry for what I said to you yesterday. I was just upset." She told him. Kiba and Shino had left them.
"It's okay. I understand completely." He smiled. "I would like to hang out with you Saturday." He suggested. She blushed when he leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear, "Just you and I… alone."
She wanted to past out. Naruto felt his face heat up also. That was a huge step and out of character for him, but he was determined to win her over.
"I would like too." She said poking her fingers. Naruto smiled. "But I promised Kiba and Shino I would hang out with them Saturday."
Flames came out of Naruto's mouth as his head did a 360. Hinata was too busy staring down at the floor. She looked up and Naruto cleared his throat. "I understand. Well we can hang out Friday afternoon." He said.
"Gomen. Kiba wants me to come to a party his parents are holding." She felt bad. Her long time crush wanted to make plans with her, but she had other plans, and she didn't want to disappoint Kiba- again.
"Thursday..." he began to panic.
"Going to a fundraiser with my father." She said.
Naruto hung his head in defeat.
"We can hang out today." She offered.
"Sasuke and I have plans already." He mumbled.
Hinata eyes brightened. "You guys are friends again? I'm glad to hear that." She said clasping her hands together. Naruto thought about it for a minute.
"Would you like to hang out with us today?"
"I couldn't." she said. "I would-
"Hinata-chan, trust me. You won't." he smiled at her. "Please?"
Her heart nearly fluttered as Naruto basically begged her to hang out with him and Sasuke. How could she possibly turn him down? "H… hai."
Naruto felt as if he could have die at that moment. "I guess we should head to class."
Hinata nod.
"I hope you don't mind. I told Hinata-chan she can hang out with us today." Naruto told Sasuke who was leaning against the school's gate.
Sasuke closed his eyes. "You think she can keep up with us?" he smirked.
"She has determination." Naruto told him. "But enough about her! Are you ready?" Naruto grinned.
Sasuke scoffed. "I was born ready."
"Naruto-kun, where are we going?" she asked the blond boy who was walking along with Sasuke. She felt so small compared to the two tall boys towering over her. A cat jumped from the trashcan wish startled up. She yelped as she ran up to Naruto and held onto him. He turned back around and smiled. "Are you afraid?"
He knew Hinata had never been to this part of Konoha, I mean you would have to have guts through this part of town by yourself, especially if you were wearing a Konoha High School uniform.
"I… I am not." She stuttered. "But was it necessary for us to change our uniform." She mumbled. She was still holding on to the boy's arm. Somehow she had managed to slip in between Sasuke and him. The two were wearing their black school pants, but had taken off the school shirt, that had the logo KHS imprinted on it. They wore their undershirts. She on the other hand, had to wear hear gym shorts and a white shirt she had underneath her shirt. Naruto had told her to change, but she never understood what for.
They finally made their way into a store. Hinata looked around. It was a tattoo shop. "Are you plan on getting another tattoo, Naruto-kun?" she asked him. He looked down at her.
"I'm still deciding. I had to quit my job because the distant was so far. So I'm scrap for cash" He said. "Why? Do you want a tattoo?" He grinned. Hinata nearly fainted. Needles scared the living crap out of her.
Naruto laughed after watching her reaction. "Sasuke is going to get a tattoo." He told her. Hinata watched as Sasuke took off his shirt and sat on the chair.
"But he isn't eighteen yet?"
"That's why we are here." Naruto told her. He watched as Sasuke face scrunched up in pain. He laughed. "I thought you said you were ready."
Sasuke shot up his finger.
Hinata legs trembled. Naruto noticing that smiled. "Ne, Hinata-chan you are afraid of needles?"
She pouted. "No." she lied.
"Let's get a closer look." He told her.
"Um right here is better." She told him avoiding eye contact with him.
"But I insist." Naruto said as he pulled her to get a closer look.
"No, no that's okay." She sweat.
"But…" Hinata had slipped from his grasp and excited the building.
Naruto laughed.
"You're going to cost her to hate you, again." Sasuke gritted his teeth s the needle went against his back.
Naruto fanned him off. "Yeah, yeah." He told him. He walked out of the building and saw Hinata head sticking from the side of the building. She was red. "Not funny." She cried.
Naruto rubbed his head. "Gomen, gomen." He told her. The girl was literally crying real tears. She wiped her tears away as she came from the side of the building. She held her shirt tightly. Naruto walked up in front of her and hugged her, her head hit against his chest. "You're such a baby." He mumbled. Hinata felt his heart beat increase. Somehow she felt safe. He wrapped his arms around her. She closed her eyes and listened to his heart.
"I'm not a baby." She grumbled.
"You're right. You're a big baby." He smirked. He didn't want to let her go. She smelt so sweet and she was warm. Hinata pouted. She looked up, and saw Naruto staring down at her. His big blue eyes sparkled. He stared down at her head, he wasn't expecting her to raise her head, but when he did, he could have sworn his body shut down for a second.
One word that escaped his mouth, "Kawaii." Her big lavender eyes that had a tint of pink in it. Her pouty lips and her rosy cheeks. He brushed her hair away from her cheeks and began to caress them. Hinata felt her heart beat out of her chest. Naruto leaned down, and Hinata closed her eyes. His heart was also beating like mad. He closed his eyes. It was as if time stopped for the two. An inch away from her lips, he stopped because of a cock blocker named Uchiha Sasuke.
"That wasn't so bad." Sasuke said.
Hinata stepped away from Naruto and looked at the floor, embarrassed. Naruto turned to face Sasuke and gritted his teeth. "Oh it wasn't." he said between clench teeth.
Sasuke chuckled. "Did I ruin something?" he smirked at Naruto.
"No…" Hinata squeaked.
He gave Sasuke the look, I'm going to beat your ass when we reach home. "Let me see your tattoo."
Sasuke walked over to the two and turned around. Everyone knows how Sasuke curse mark looks, so that is the tattoo.
"That looks nice." Naruto said. Hinata agreed with him. "And you came up what that?"
Sasuke put back on his shirt. "Yeah. I've got some more, but I'll start off with this one. You know how school can be."
Naruto nodded his head.
The group went to walk away, when they heard a growl. They gulped as they turned around. A dog that was foaming out of the mouth were standing behind them.
"If we don't move, maybe it-
Naruto eyes widened as Hinata made a run with it, then Sasuke, leaving the blond by himself.
"Ah, shit." He muttered. He ran for it. Hinata was running her fastest.
"If we make it out alive, Naruto-kun I'm going to kill you myself!" Hinata screamed.
"Make that the two of us." Sasuke shouted.
"You should have never ran!" Naruto laughed.
"And be dog food?" Hinata retorted back. The three had ran to a fence. He was mesmerized that Hinata had climbed the fence with no hesitation.
Hinata fell against the tree, while Sasuke tried to catch his breath. Naruto leaned against the tree.
"That was so close." Sasuke mumbled.
Hinata laughed. She was breathing heavily. She got up and smacked Naruto on the head.
"Ow." He said holding onto his head.
"I can't believe you suggested we stay there and get eat." Hinata glared at him.
Naruto looked up at her. She looked away. Sasuke chuckled. "Leave it to Naruto to freak up your life."
They walked down the street of Konoha. They were walking Hinata home.
"Are we making plans for summer?" Naruto asked Sasuke.
"Definitely. It's almost here!" he said. "Hopefully Hinata-chan can spend some time with us."
Hinata looked at him. "Hai!"
Hinata smiled. Today had been a good day. She was glad she got to spend it with Naruto and Sasuke. And to make even better, she was sure that Naruto was going to kiss her. Ahhh, how she wanted to smite Sasuke. She looked up at the starry sky and smiled brighter.
Naruto turned around after realizing she had stopped walking. "What are you thinking about?" he asked. Sasuke had stopped and turned around.
Hinata looked at Sasuke, then Naruto and smile. She shook her head. "To think this all started because of an orange umbrella."
Sasuke looked confused, then he remembered what Naruto had told him. He couldn't help but smile. The trio glanced up at the sky and saw a shooting star past by them.
Naruto extended out his hand towards Hinata. "Ne, Hinata-chan. Let's go home." He said. Hinata looked at him, then his arm. She smiled as she ran towards him, reaching out for his hand.

English Lyrics:
That's why, I want you to smile. That's why I want to go on living with you Even if you being there for me is such a small miracle "I want to become a kind person", is what you once said The blooming flower that is me, takes a tiny step forward "That's right, it's because you smile for me, that I can do anything" We ran into some irritations where we couldn't even say "Sorry" If you're alone, inside a sadness you can't bare, It's always found right in the middle, what's precious is found right here There will one day be something that makes you a little sad Through the days that have me smiling as I cry,
You are irreplaceable, "I want to keep protecting you"
It's the warmest thing I've ever felt, that's why I want to become strong
You conveyed to me something that tickled your heart with pain
These days that change into memories, I often say goodbye to them
Your voice, that goes on and on being bright
It's always my best source of light, as it pushes me forward well
Well, maybe I'm just putting on airs, but for some reason
My courage is expanding
If I'm to go through happiness, like a flower that falls
and blooms again,
Then I'll do just that, because, I want to become strong
You can't take the closest things to you for granted you know
Without being afraid of accepting the "I want to be a fun person"
I once said
Overlapping the earnest times, I want to find something certain
I will, like an idiot, recklessly, always reach out to you with these hands
Understanding each others feelings is hard but,
Sharing those feelings is something I can do
I will just always be next to you, I will always by your side
Those hands of yours that wrap around me are tender, they hold me tight
There will one day be something that makes you a little happy
But you should smile through it all,
You should go through life embracing it all
Even if everything ends up changing again,
Let's make the flower bloom over and over again
So that we can become happy, so that we can go on walking
Together
Through the days that I seem to understand
I want to go through them like that, that's why I want to become strong
Enjoy.
