Chapter 9: A Day to Remember

Naruto awoke at dawn as the sun shone brilliantly through the opening of his two curtains on his bedroom window. Multiple birds chirped on harmonious tune outside the apartment he lived in since he was a kid. Naruto leaned out of his bed, tossing the sheets aside as he walked to the window and threw aside the curtains. He stretched as the light shone over him and let out a giant yawn to wake him up. A flock of lily white doves flew by his window and went off in the distance, their wings flapping in succession like a drum roll. Naruto took a deep breath of fresh air as a sense of calmness engulfed his soul. Naruto felt calm, focused and relaxed, it was a perfect day to start training again. He squealed with joy as he jumped out of his black shirt and grey sweatpants into a warm shower. After drying himself he ran back to his room to his closet for something to wear. Naruto rubbed his chin in ambivalence on what to wear today. His mind poured out suggestion after suggestion of what clothes to wear especially after he and Hinata went shopping for a new wardrobe yesterday evening.

Naruto put on a pair of white boxers and noticed the hokage faces in the distance. His apartment always has been facing them, but he had a new perspective about them. He didn't let his heritage affect his ego, regardless of being the Fourth's son, he wasn't going to stop training and let his genius come to him. That's not how it works. Hard work and willpower will make him Hokage, nothing else. Naruto put his right hand to the faces and clenched his fist as a sign; his dream is as strong as ever. A new face caught Naruto's eye, Grandma Tsunade's face is up their too. Naruto giggled. "She still looks old up there,"

Naruto smiled at that joke, but was hit with a shock of inspiration. He knew exactly what he wanted to wear. He ran into his closet and put on a pair of black pants and a black long sleeved shirt. He took his father's sleeveless trench coat, and tried it on. "Perfect fit!!" Naruto loved it. Naruto posed in the mirror in his bedroom closet before he realized he could totally pass off as his father if he only had more hair and lost the whiskers, but hey the ladies love the whiskers. He posed again. Naruto strapped on his ninja shoes and gears and walked to his kitchen and whipped up some miso ramen for breakfast. He chowed it down so fast cause he didn't want to waste any training time. He threw the bowl into the sink and stood at his front door as he tightly tied on his long black headband and took his nasty pill like Shizune ordered.

He ran out the door and jumped from building to building and landed on the block next to Ichiraku Ramen Shop. He waved to the owner and his daughter, good friends of his. He ran down the streets and took a left and crashed into a small boy. They fell on their butts.

The boy wore a long black scarf that reached the ground and wore a long sleeved yellow shirt and black pants. He had a black Leaf headband and black spiky hair. He stood up with fire in his eyes. "Hey Douche! Watch where you're going!"

Naruto stood up and patted off his pants. "Jeez, I'm sorry man…" Naruto got a good look at the kid. "Hey don't I know you from somewhere?"

The kid was caught by surprise. "You know me mister?"

Naruto and the kid looked closer at each other and then realized who each other were as they both pointed to each other in astonishment.

"Naruto!"

"Konohamaru!"

Naruto grabbed Konohamaru into a headlock and gave him a first class noogie. "How ya been squirt!" Konohamaru laughed and played with Naruto. It was like they were brothers.

Konohamaru slipped out from Naruto's grip. "Nothing much, I'm going to be a Chunin in a few weeks. I see you're back from your six year training regiment. Maybe one day I'll get to see how strong you've gotten." Konohamaru grinned at Naruto.

Naruto rubbed his head. "Maybe one day, squirt."

Konohamaru looked at his watch and freaked. "Oh crap! I'm gonna be late!" Konohamaru ran past Naruto and waved back. "We'll talk later Naruto, I have a mission to be getting to. See ya later! Oh and Happy Birthday Boss!"

Naruto waved back and smiled from ear to ear. Someone remembered his birthday. Maybe today wouldn't be so bad after. Naruto went to back to running back to the Training field to train.

Ten minutes later, Naruto arrived there and smiled to see the same old wood posts again, but saw something else there beside them. A body laying face down in the ground. Naruto ran to that person's side and realized it was Hinata lying there.

"Hey Hinata-chan are you alright?" Naruto was concerned now. He flipped Hinata onto her back.

Her face scrunched in pain from the light but a shadow loomed over her head. She opened her eyes slowly and saw a gentle blond boy in her face as the sun shone behind like he was an angel sent from heavens. Naruto sighed with relief and smiled. Hinata smiled at Naruto. "Hello angel,"

Naruto grinned. "Hello beautiful, are you alright?"

Naruto helped Hinata up as she patted herself off. "Just training to get stronger. I want to be as strong as you, you know that,"

An old memory of Naruto standing before Kiba at the Chunin Exams ran through Hinata's mind. "I'll never give up, that's my nindo, my ninja way!"

An old memory of Hinata standing before Neji at the Chunin Exams ran through Naruto's mind. "I'll never run away and I'll never give up cause that too is my nindo, my ninja way."

They both smiled at each other as they embraced each other and gave a passionate kiss. The wind blew their hair as they were stuck in a fiery hold. Naruto never had this feeling before and was certain he didn't want it to stop. Hinata was overfilled with joy, her feelings for Naruto were stronger than ever and were certain he felt the same.

Naruto suddenly stopped the kiss and smiled at Hinata. "Hinata-chan let's make it official! Me and you, boyfriend and girlfriend."

Hinata hugged Naruto in a death grip. "Of course Naruto and then when we get older, we'll get married and have kids and they will be Hokage just like their father." Hinata was into her feelings right now, she couldn't contain them.

The Father comment hit Naruto in the heart and smiled. He wanted to see the look on Hinata's face when he told her his secret heritage. Naruto looked at Hinata in the eyes. "Hinata, I got something to tell you."

"What is it Naruto-kun?"

"Well this might come to be a huge surprise to you, in fact you wouldn't believe me even if I told you, but…..I'm the fourth hokage's son!"

Hinata gasped as her eyes widen like two grapefruits and didn't release her breath and immediately fainted from the shock. Naruto ran to her side again.

Naruto heard a noise like something being dropped behind him. He quickly turned his head to face all of his fellow leaf ninja with boxes wrapped in wrapping paper. Everyone's face was lit up with shock as Sakura dropped her gift on the soft ground. Naruto smiled and giggled with joy as he saw the presents in everyone's hands. "Oh guys! You didn't have to! But I'm glad you did!" Naruto ran and hugged a shocked Sasuke and Sakura. Naruto let go of his hug and made a hand sign. "Shadow-Clone Jutsu!" He made several clones and picked up the presents and all of them sat in a circle opening them while the real Naruto woke up Hinata from her faint.

One clone jumped up with joy. "Awesome! Leg weights! Thanks Lee!"

Another one screamed. "I got a brand new stereo! Wow! Good looking out Kiba!"

"I got autographed shirt of my favorite band! And tickets to their concert this Sunday! You're awesome Ino!"

All the clones ripped and enjoyed their birthday presents just like a child would. It was cute and kind of awkward that a grown man would be acting like that. Naruto finally broke away from his frantic massacre of the presents and looked at his friends still staring at him with surprise in their eyes. Naruto grew concerned and wondered what was wrong. "Uhhh…….guys? What's the problem?"

Sakura broke from her trance and leaned towards Naruto. "Naruto…..Did you just say you were the fourth hokage's son?"

Naruto then realized what this was all about. He rubbed the back of his head and smiled a big smile. "So you heard me huh? Yep and I have proof of it. Like this coat the fourth….. I mean dad used to wear and a picture…" Naruto pulled out a picture of him as a newborn and his parents, Minato and Kushina and handed it to Sakura.

Sakura looked at it and the others crowded around her to get a glimpse of the photo as well. They all gasped and squealed especially the girls.

Ino put her hands and squeaked then started to talk like she was talking to a baby. "Awww! Look at the cute wittle baby! He's so cute!"

Naruto squinted with skepticism. "Ok Ino, you're embarrassing me but I guess I was a cute baby."

Sakura smirked at the photo. "Yeah it's the whiskers that make him so cute." Sakura pinched Naruto's cheeks.

Naruto slipped away. "Stop Sakura,"

"Awww Naruto I'm just complimenting your cute whiskers. So our Naruto has more of a reputation to live up to."

"Whatever you say Sakura-chan, I'll still the same old Naruto ever since Pervy Sage told me."

"Well Kudos for us then." Sakura had a sarcastic tone.

Naruto squinted his eyes. "What are you trying to say?"

"I'm just joking with you Naruto," Sakura hugged him. "In fact I'm happy for you and your girlfriend over there."

Naruto and Hinata blushed as they turned around and twiddled their fingers. They were like a mirror image of each other when they did that. "So you heard that too huh?"

Ino ran and hugged the two from behind and smiled. "Then it won't be long before you two get married just like me and Shino! The Fuzzies are back!"

Naruto gulped a giant wad of spit and sweated a bit. "Marriage? We just started dating Ino."

Ino smiled. "You're right but have you two done it yet?"

Naruto and Hinata blushed tomato red at their thought of their naked bodies rubbing up against each other in a hot fiery passionate hold. Hinata got hot all over her body, she thought she was going to faint again. Naruto wasn't feeling so good himself, sex was a big issue for him and not only him but Hinata as well. Both of them were virgins and had no idea on what to do if that day should come.

Hinata and Naruto waved their hands in complete disapproval as the blushes on their faces covered them entirely. "What!? No! We haven't!"

Naruto twiddled his fingers and fiddled around. "We want to…..uhhh……"

Hinata spoke without thinking in a flash. "Wait!"

Everyone looked at Hinata, including Naruto who was shocked to hear her say that. "That's right! We will wait before we commit to that level of passion until both of us feels ready, most likely when we get married. We don't want to rush into this. Things like this take time and commitment." It was so beautifully spoken even Hinata believed it, but she knew she wanted Naruto, emotionally and physically.

Everyone nodded their heads in approval that was the correct thing to do. It was better to wait until you felt comfortable, even Kiba agreed after his little mishap a few days ago.

Naruto breathed a huge sigh of relief to find out that Hinata was just as scared as he was, but he was kind of disappointed that she wanted to wait, but on the other hand saying 'Oh yeah I would so bang my girlfriend/boyfriend' is way too awkward to say in front of your friends. Naruto wrapped his arm around Hinata and kissed her on the cheek. "Yep! Hinata and I are going to wait before we do something like that."

Sakura put her hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Good for you Naruto, its better that way."

Naruto and Hinata uneasily chuckled, both knowing ever since that kiss in the forest a few days ago, they wanted each other badly but their fear of screwing up at sex kept them from taking the leap.

Naruto and his clones picked up all the presents and walked with his friends and chatted about multiple things but somehow it got back on the subject of ramen, which Naruto and Hinata loved. They both practically dominated the conversation for the next hour at dinner at the exquisite restaurant near the newly built Konoha Mall. They fed each other and kissed at their candlelit table. They were the talk of the whole restaurant with them being so romantic the way they complimented each other.

"You're so beautiful Hinata." Naruto looked at Hinata with his hands holding his head up leaning against the table.

Hinata blushed. "Oh stop Naruto, you're making me blush."

"How can I stop when I'm dating the most beautiful woman on the whole entire planet?"

Hinata blushed even harder and turned away. "Oh Naruto-kun, you're the sweetest guy ever. I can't express all my love for you because there's so much." Hinata looked at Naruto in his sky-blue eyes and she can see her reflection in them. "I love you with all my heart and I can't wait to be Mrs. Uzumaki."

Naruto blushed just as hard as Hinata was. "If you love me with all your heart, I love you with all my heart and soul."

Hinata sensed that Naruto was making a competition outta this. She smirked. "I see. That's how you wanna play. Well I love you with all my heart, body and soul."

"I love you with every single fiber of my being. I love you more than I love being a ninja."

"I love you more than I love the Sun, the Moon and the Stars."

Naruto thought deeply for something that could top that. "Uhhh I love you more than I love ramen!"

Hinata covered her mouth and gasped in surprise, she knew she had been beaten. She never expected Naruto to say that. "Naruto-kun, do you mean that? I mean you of all people love ramen."

Naruto smiled and held Hinata's hand. "Of course silly. Why wouldn't I?"

Hinata placed both of her hands on Naruto's hand. "I love you so much Naruto-kun."

Sakura sighed from this "love" Naruto and Hinata showed for each other. "Ok Naruto and Hinata, its getting late you two. We should be heading home now." Sakura was very jealous of those two; they were so in love with each other. If only she could get Sasuke to be more romantic like that.

Naruto frowned. "Aww Sakura!" Naruto looked into Hinata's lavender eyes. "I guess when you're with the most beautiful girl in the world, time flies."

Hinata giggled and smiled. Sakura folded her arms and tapped her foot until she just decided to pull Naruto away by the ear. "Ok Romeo, its time to go. The restaurant is going to close in a few minutes, let's go already." Sakura dragged Naruto out of the restaurant. Hinata giggled at this sight.

"Aww Sakura-chan!"

Ino and Tenten walked with Hinata while Naruto argued with Sakura ahead of them. Tenten looked at Hinata. Hinata was gazing at Naruto as her eyes scanned up and down his body. "So Hinata, you must really love him huh?"

Hinata rubbed the back of her head. "Of course Tenten."

Tenten made a sinister look at Hinata. "Don't be shy Hinata. Everyone here knows you want to do him. That was such a good lie you told this morning, you can fool Sakura, but you can't fool Ino and me."

Hinata gulped. She thought it worked. "Oh no, what do I do now? I do want Naruto-kun but I'm not ready." Hinata had to make an excuse and fast. "Oh Tenten, I love Naruto and we think that taking the next step is something we should get comfortable with before we become sexually active."

Ino folded her arms and pouted. "Seriously Hinata you're no fun. We've seen the way he looks at you. His eyes are undressing you all the time or haven't you noticed?"

Tenten nodded to agree with Ino. "Yeah Naruto loves you that's no doubt. Don't hold back your feelings Hinata. Lose those inhibitions and just go wild! Trust me you'll love it." Tenten was always known as the wild girl of the group. There wasn't a moment where she didn't party. But despite the party girl personality, she was very kind and generous. Neji loved her extremely for it; the wildness was a huge plus.

Ino sighed. "Yeah but if you want to Hinata, then we respect your decision."

Hinata looked at Naruto still arguing with Sakura ahead of them and wondered. "Oh Naruto, how long I have waited for your embrace. Maybe Tenten's right. I shouldn't be shy anymore. But I need to know is Naruto ready?" Hinata ran up to Naruto's side and hugged his left arm. "I'll walk you home Naruto-kun."

Naruto stopped arguing with Sakura and smiled at Hinata. "Oh thank you Hinata-chan, I appreciate that alot."

Sakura tilted her head in confusion, until Ino pulled her away and whispered in her ear. Sakura's eyes widen and shook her head like no way! Ino nodded. Tenten giggled. Sakura frowned. "You two are going to taint poor Hinata with your party girl ways." Sakura shook her finger in disapproval at Ino and Tenten.

Ino just rolled her eyes at Sakura. "Whatever Billboard Brow, it's not like you're any different. When's the last time you had a little fun with Sasuke?" Sakura bowed her head. "All I'm saying is loosen up, have a little fun! You're too uptight Sakura." "

Tenten put her hand on Sakura's shoulder. "Like Lee and Guy-sensei would say, 'Enjoy the springtime of your youth!' So we want to live and enjoy ourselves while we are still young."

Sakura sighed and then smiled. She had a plan. Ino noticed Sakura's eerie smirk. Ino wanted to know what she was thinking but Sakura ran off and hugged Sasuke's left arm. "Oh Saskay! Let's go home and I'll……" Sakura whispered the rest in Sasuke's ear. Whatever it was Sasuke was very eager to go home. "Sure Sakura-chan let's go!"

Ino and Tenten looked at each other; they had just created a monster. Let's hope Hinata doesn't turn out the same way.

Sakura and Sasuke ran past Hinata and Naruto almost knocking them over. Hinata and Naruto raised their eyebrows at those two. Naruto scratched his head in confusion. "What's gotten into those two?"

Ino giggled. "Don't you mean what's about to get into Sakura?"

Naruto was even more confused. He had no idea what Ino meant.

Ino slapped her forehead. "Geez Naruto, you really are clueless!" Ino left and walked home with her hubby Shino.

Tenten and Neji walked to Tenten's house on the other side of the Leaf Village, where they "spent" the night as usual.

Hinata and Naruto were all alone and both were very nervous. Naruto looked ahead and make shifty glances at Hinata, little did he know she was doing the same thing. "So it's getting late Hinata, shouldn't you be heading home now? I can walk myself home."

Hinata looked at Naruto's face. "Well Naruto now that we are officially boyfriend and girlfriend, maybe we should start living together?"

"Live together?" Naruto was taken by surprise. He loved Hinata but last time he checked he had only one bed in his apartment. He was in a predicament now. "Well…"

Hinata noticed that they had arrived at Naruto's apartment and squealed. "Oh goody! We're home!" Hinata ran and opened the front door.

Naruto ran in after her but was greeted by a deep passionate kiss on the lips as Hinata's hands ran up his shirt rubbing up against his abs, she was instantly turned on. Naruto had no idea what was happening, this kiss was different from all the others. This one had lust in it that seeped its way into his heart and soon into his dick. Naruto couldn't understand what was happening. This was all happening so quickly. His heart raced as Hinata sat him down on his couch and she sat on top of his lap still in a lustful lip lock. Naruto was getting real hot; he sweated from the top of his head. "Wait…….Hinata……" He couldn't get his words out because Hinata's tongue was wrapping itself all around Naruto's as it licked all around his mouth. Naruto was afraid now. Sex was actually the last thing on his mind, he didn't feel ready despite the fact that his dick said otherwise. Hinata was afraid also, but she had wanted Naruto ever since they were kids at the Academy. This was a dream come true for her. Hinata truly felt ready. Naruto on the other hand was sweating bullets, his shirt was soaked with sweat and his head was wracked with confusion and his heart was beating even faster until finally he just grabbed Hinata and pulled her away to catch his breath. He felt like a total pervert because Hinata's jacket was zipped down far enough to where you could catch a glimpse of her cleavage.

Hinata was concerned. "What's wrong Naruto-kun?"

Naruto's headband was also soaked from sweat and the cold air brushing up against it made Naruto take it off. "Hinata, I love you with all my heart and I always wondered what my first time would be like but…….I'm afraid. I'm afraid that it will be horrible and I won't be that good at it and all types of things you see? I'm so unsure. I never experienced a love like this to the point where sex becomes a factor. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm not ready yet." Naruto frowned and an old friend of his popped up to say hello.

"You're shitting me kid. You're going to pass up a fine hottie like her just because you're afraid?" The Fox yelled in Naruto's subconscious.

Naruto quickly delved into his mind. "Shut up already! And what do you know about sex anyway! You're a demon!"

"Doesn't mean we don't know how to screw kid. Besides how the hell do you think Demons are made twerp!" The fox roared.

"Whatever it's my body and I say I'm not ready!" Naruto pouted.

"Listen runt, give it some thought. Be calm and just relax. So therefore you won't be horrible at sex, you'll just be mildly mediocre at it."

Naruto frowned at that remark. "Wow that's really reassuring coming from you. I don't want any advice from you of all things! And it's really creepy you're giving me advice in the first place."

"Come on kid! It's not too late to run back in there!"

Naruto then remembered something. He pointed to the fox in its cage with wide eyes. "You're a freaking pervert! You can tap into my subconscious at anytime and experience what I'm experiencing!" The fox just laughed. "Oh I think I'm going to puke now." Naruto felt a little queasy. "Is everyone in this fricking village a perv? I mean there's Pervy Sage! Kakashi-sensei with Pervy Sage's book, Ebisu-sensei the closet perv, Kiba, Ino, Tenten, Who's next? Grandma Tsunade?"

Kyuubi laughed even harder.

"I'm leaving now." Naruto started to walk out the door.

"Ok see ya tomorrow Virgin!" Kyuubi just laughed till his sides hurt.

"Man! That fox has changed over the past few years. I think he's actually getting used to being inside of me. And now he wants to be all friendly? I got my eye on him." Naruto left his subconscious back to Hinata who was waving her hand in his cold blank stare. "Sorry about that." He startled Hinata. "Anyway I think I need more time before I commit an act like this."

Hinata hugged Naruto. "Oh thank goodness! I was scared outta my mind too. We should wait until we felt comfortable. Ino and Tenten kinda pushed to me to be more exciting and not be so modest all the time."

Naruto lifted up Hinata's head with his hand. "But that's what I love about you. Shy, modest and timid, it shows your innocence and I wouldn't change that for the world." Naruto smiled to reassure Hinata.

Hinata smiled back, but realized something. "Uhhh Naruto-kun? Can I spend the night here?"

Naruto thought about it and made a decision. "Sure why not? And first thing in the morning, we can both continue our training for our matches this Sunday. I have faith in you Hinata. You're gonna dominate!"

"Thanks Naruto, that means a lot."

Naruto blushed as he turned away from Hinata and twiddled his fingers which are now his new habit similar to what Hinata does. "Now that is all said and done……there's the matter of where we are sleeping."

"We can sleep in the same bed."

Naruto's heart raced again. "Is she serious? GAH! I so want to do it but I can't! This fear of mine is holding me back! ARGGH!!! Its ok Naruto, just chill and relax. Whatever it takes to make Hinata happy! That's a promise!" Naruto ran into his bedroom. "Last one there is a rotten riceball!"

Hinata ran after him. "That's not fair Naruto-kun! You got a head start!"

Naruto stuck out his tongue. "Nyah! I win I win!"

Hinata folded her arms and made a devious look. "Oh you do huh? Well take this!" Hinata began to tickle Naruto's chest as they fell onto the bed laughing.

"Stop it Hinata-chan that tickles! Hahahahahahaha!" Naruto laughed uncontrollably. Hinata stripped Naruto bare chested and tickled him even more. Naruto started to cry from laughing so hard.

Hinata finally gave up while Naruto wiped his tears of joy and tried to catch his breath. "Ok Hinata you win!"

Hinata stood up victoriously. "I thought so!" Hinata took off her jacket revealing her purple v-neck shirt and hugged Naruto as she laid her head on his chest. "I love you Naruto,"

Naruto kissed Hinata on the forehead. "I wuv you too." Naruto said in a 5 year old boy's voice. Hinata giggled.

Naruto and Hinata slowly started to drift off to sleep in each other's embrace, a place they never wanted to leave.

Nyah! There's no lemon here, try again next time! I'm sorry I just had to do that. I'm sure you guys can take a joke and see the punchline in this chapter. And if not, I'm sorry! And for all my perverts out there (you know who you are) trust me there will be a couple lemons here. I'm not going to say who or when, you will just have to reading.
