Sakura could not believe what she just heard. She then started to laugh which surprised Naruto. She smiled at him. "What took you so long?"
Naruto rubbed the back of his head and laughed. "Well, I just did some thinking." He then pointed to a big bump on his forehead. "And this, that snapped me out of it, hehe."
Sakura laughed nervously. "hehe, sorry about that. I'll heal that right up." She then started to put her hands on his forehead and began to heal it.
It was silent for a few minutes until Sakura broke the silence. "So, when are you going to tell her?" Naruto quickly broke away from her. Sakura just stared at him 'What did I say?'
Naruto eyes widened. "I have to tell her?"
Sakura smacked her forehead. 'Are you kidding me?' She then faced him with a glare. "Of course you have to tell her. When we were genin, you constantly asked me out. Why can't you do the same thing to her?"
Naruto sadly stared at the ground. He put his hand on his chest and gripped his jacket very hard. "Cause I'm afraid that if she says no, my heart will break and I don't want to feel that."
Sakura sadly stared at Naruto. She sighed. "Naruto, you can't just let it go. What if someone else has her. What will you do?"
Naruto gulped and tightened his grip on his jacket. "Well, then I will just have to suck it up and leave her be." 'After me and him have a little talk. If he hurts her, then I will have to kick his ass.' "Besides anyone is better then me the "Demon"."
Sakura stared at Naruto for a bit. "you know that's not true. You're on e of the strongest Ninja's here. Hinata and you have so much in common and you say that anyone is a better suitor than you? She cares a lot about you -"
"And that's the problem!" Naruto shouted. "When we were in the Hyuuga estate, Hinata faught her own father just to protect me and got hurt." Naruto then sadly sighed. "Not only that but they're are people who are still after this damn fox and if they knew about Hinata, who knows what they would do to her. And if I got hurt, then knowing her, she would risk her own life to protect mine and I won't let that happen."
Naruto then smiled at Sakura sadly. "Besides, she would never feel the same way about me any way." He then got up and started to walk back to his place.
Sakura sadly stared at the ground. 'You're wrong Naruto. She loves you more thatn you think.'
Hinata silently continued walking, with Sasuke behind, with a whole lot of bruises all over him, for scaring her. Hinata was about to apologize, but Sasuke just placed his hand in front of her. "For the tenth time, it's fine. I shouldn't have snuck up behind you. And any way, I get more bruises for doing the same thing to Sakura.
Hianta silently giggled at the thought of nocking Sasuke out almost every day.
Sasuke smile at her. 'At least she's loosening up a bit.' He then stared at the sky. "So, where is you prince charming at?"
Hinata started to blush, "Um, w-well, he said that he had to go some where. So I don't know." She then turned to Sasuke. "um, Sasuke, why did you choose Sakura instead of any other girl."
Sasuke smirked at her. "Why do you want to know? Are you jealous?"
Hinata's face turned red and rapidly shook her head. "N-no i-it's n-not -"
Sasuke laughed and smiled at her. "I'm only messing with you." He then went back at staring at the sky. "Well, she's different then those annoying fan girls. Even though she use to be one of them, she changed later on. All these girls do are nice and say things that they think that I want to hear are to scared to face me in battle. Sakura though, helps me train and puts up a fight too and says things that pop in her head whether it hurts my feeling or not. she also loves me both in and out, unlike those creepy chicks that sneak into my home and steel my cloths. Plus, she's also great in bed."
Hinata started to blush a deeper shade of red which mad sasuke laugh again. "Of course you're different also, but you're more of Naruto's type then mine."
Hinata bowed her head down. "N-no I'm not. He want some one strong and confident, that's not me."
Sasuke sighed. "Have you ever heard the phrase opposites attract? Sakura is cheerful all the time and that's what I need to lighten my mood every day. Naruto needs some one who can teach him to be patient and to learn how to shut his mouth when he's in a bad situation. He also needs some one who can comfort him when he needs it. You're also stong Hinata, you and Naruto both get your strength when it comes to protecting some one."
Hinata doesn't know if she should be surprised at what Sasuke was saying or that this is the longest he has ever talked to some one.
When they arrived at Naruto's door, Hinata smiled at Sasuke and thanked him for the walk. Before Ssasuke left, he patted Hinata's head. "Don't give up on that idiot, sooner or later he'll find out." With that said, he left Hinata alone. She went inside Naruto's bedroom, jumped in to bed and started to fall asleep.
When Naruto made it home, he let out a loud yawn and started to stretch. 'Boy, I had a long day. I need a long nap.' He went straight in to bed with out egnologing that a curtain Hyuuga is sleeping right next to him.
Morning came and the sun's rays was hitting Naruto's face. Naruto grunted and rubbed his face on his pillow. 'Wow, I never knew my pillow was this soft.'
He then heard the Kyuubi snickering. 'Well, that's because that's not a "Pillow".'
Naruto slowly opened his eyes to find out his head was right on a sleeping Hinata's chest. I was quiet for about ten minutes and then he screamed and jumped right out of bed, while in the process, waking Hinata.
Hinata quickly sat up and found Naruto in the corner, his face as red as a tomato. She stared at him, concerned. "N-Naruto, what's wrong?"
Naruto just laid his head on the floor. "I'm really, really sorry."
Hinata was confused. she was about to ask why, until she felt some thing wet on her chest. She looked down to see what it was. 'Drool? How did I get it there? Wait. D-did N-Naruto sleep -'
When Naruto heard a loud thud, he looked to find a red face Hinata past out on the floor. He quickly went over to her and started to panic. "Hey, Hinata! Wake up! What's wrong? Oh man, what do I do?"
Kyuubi started to laugh. 'Well, look on the bright side, at least she was wearing a shirt.'
Naruto's face started to darker shade of red. 'You're not helping!'
Kyuubi smirked. 'I wasn't trying to.'
Hinata opened her eyes and saw Naruto by the door still blushing a little. Hinata face started to also blush again, remembering why she fainted.
Naruto rubbed the back of his head. "Sakura came over and made some lunch for us and she said that there's a carnival starting soon. So if you want to go after we lunch, we can."
Hinata nodded and went to the bathroom to get dressed. When she finished, she went in to the kitchen were Naruto was at. She saw Naruto's face turned a red again when he opened the box of the lunch that Sakura made for them.
Hinata looked in the box and her face was darker then Naruto's. "C-chicken..."
"...b-breast." Naruto just stared at it and gulped.
After they ate, they went to the carnival. They later found asuke and Sakura waiting for them. they went on every ride that caught their eye. The only problem is that Nruto sits with another person when they go on the rides and sits on the opposite side of her.
Hinata saw something that she thought could be fun. She turned to Naruto and Smiled. "Naruto, let's go on the Ferris Wheel."
Naruto was about to protest, but Sakura stopped him. "That's a great idea Hinata! Lets go Sasuke!"
When they were up front, Naruto tried to switch some again, but sadly to him, Hinata had her arms wrapped around his. He had no choice but to follow her in one of the seats.
Hinata looked at Konoha, she could see every thing. She then looked up and saw how big the moon was. She then looked down and saw Sasuke and Sakura making out below them. She smiled and turned and saw Naruto who was leaning on his seat completely annoyed. Hinata sadly stared down at her feet until the ride was finished.
When the ride was over, Naruto smiled at Hinata who still had her head down. "That was really fun, right Hinata?"
"Stop lying."
Naruto stared at her still smiling. "W-what do you mean?"
Hinata lifted her head and faced Naruto holding back her tears from pouring out. "You have been acting weird for days. Today you have constantly avoiding me and when I finally had you sit next to me, you had this look like you were completely annoyed to be next to me."
Naruto's smile vanished. "I'm sorry Hinata, it's just complicated."
Hinata then smiled at him which was hurting his chest. He knew that smile, he did the same one when he promised Sakura in front of her that he would bring Sasuke back. "No, I get it. If you really don't want to be near me then I'll just leave you alone, like you wanted." Then she ran with tears finally pouring down her face.
Naruto screamed. "Hinata, wai- " He did not get to have a chance to finish. The next he knew he was flying in the air, his cheek throbbing in pain. He then landed hard on the ground. He looked up and saw a pissed of Sakura and a disappointing Uchiha.
Hinata just kept running, she did not care where she was going. She then stopped in front of a beautiful lake and started to let every thing out. 'Why can't I do anything right?'
"My, my, crying again Hinata."
Hinata stopped. 'That voice.' She turned and frozen in fear. "Y-you."
He smirked. "Hello again, it's been far to long Hinata."
Sakura then grabbed Naruto by the collar and lifted him up. "How dare you. She has done nothing but try to make you happy and what do you do? You leave that poor girl running away, trying to hold her tears so she wouldn't let you see her cry."
Naruto's eyes widened. 'I-I made her cry?'
Sakura growled. "you better fix this." She then very roughly let him go and stormed off.
Before Sasuke left to calm Sakura down, he stared at Naruto. He sighed. "I think it's time you told her, other wise you'll lose her."
Naruto just laid on the ground. 'He's right. I was so afraid of being to close and do something stupid.' He sadly laughed a little. 'Instead all I did was make things worse. I have to tell her.' He then got up and ran in the same direction that Hinata went.
He's been running a while now and then stopped when he heard crying. He slowly walked and found Hinata just standing by a lake, crying her little heart out. He felt a sharp pain in his chest. He hated to see her like that, especially since he caused it. He silently walked behind her.
Hinata turned and saw Naruto standing there. She quickly rubbed her watery eyes and smiled at him. "W-what is it N-Naruto?"
Naruto just stood in the same spot and took a deep breath. 'It's now or never.' "I have some thing to tell you."
Hinata stared at him. "W-what?"
"The reason why I have been avoiding you, is because..." Naruto gulped. "...I love you."
Hinata eyes widened, fresh tears are slowly sliding down her face. She shook her head and she started to cry again which was worrying Naruto. "H-Hinata. What's wrong?"
Hinata backed away from Naruto. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I-I don't love you." She then ran away from him again, leaving the boy all alone.
Naruto knees gave out on him. his whole world was coming down on him, crushing him. It then sunk in the ocean taking him with him, drowning him, he was suffocating. He then sadly smiled and laughed while putting his hand on his chest and gripping as hard as he could on to his jacket. "So, this is what a broken heart feels like."
