Chapter 10

At the lunch dinner thing the group had started not long after. Naruto had…you guessed it. Ramen.

Sakura set with Kiba and Shino while Hinata and Naruto had a table to themselves. Kiba growled as he noticed Hinata laughing at Naruto. He was getting jealous.

Kiba was about to stand up when Sakura gabbed his coat's hood and pulled him back. "No boy." Akamaru barked and leapt out of Kiba's coat.

He walked over to Naruto and Hinata, wagging his tail. Hinata smiled and petted him. Naruto though runted. The mutt's trying to take away Hinata from me. Hinata could tell he wasn't happy and placed Akaamaru back down on the ground.

"What is it Naruto?" Naruto jumped up, almost not realizing he spoke to her. He blushed from embarrassment. "Nothing." He then walked over to her and held his arms around her, growling at Akamaru, who just turned around and leapt into Kiba's lap.

Hinata laughed. Naruto soon got off and went to finish his ramen. Sakura sighed happily. She loved to see them so happy. She felt happy for Hinata, and glad Naruto liked her and not her anymore.

Shino looked away. "love sick fools." Sakura glared at him and suddenly jumped up and attacked him. Angry what he was saying about her friends.

She, after a few minutes, got off of him and Shino now was all tied up. "Sorry." "Doesn't work bug sick boy. Hehe."

Hinata had noticed and smiled. While Naruto shrugged. He knew Sakura's wrath. Not pretty.

Naruto then looked away and kept on eating his ramen. "Are you okay?" asked Hinata, looking concern. "Nothing." Hinata rolled her eyes, still frowning. but she had to laugh a bit though.

Later

Naruto had walked Hinata home after the lunch. Kissing her again before the actual departure.

Once in her room, Hinata fell to the floor and was in lala land. Dreaming and think about Naruto kissing her. A dream, it just had to be.

Her dreams were not all that great though. She was having nightmares... of Neji. He was going to come back and finally finish the job. If she knew her cousin right, this would be his final fight, becuase he would want to get it over with. So one more battle.. most likely. If she lost her life.

But he could not be defeated. She would need the help of her friends. She didn't want her teamates to know what was going on. So it had to be just her, Sakura and Naruto. But he was so strong. How could they defeat him!

She shook her head in anger. So frustating! She didn't know what to do!

She sighed. She just had to stay on her toes. She just also hoped Naruto would be alright and stay on his gaurd, he probably wasn't smart enough to think about this closely. She knew Sakura would be alright though.

The thought of Naruto came back into her mind though and it was that, that finally drifted er to sleep.

Next day

Hinata knocked on Naruto's door so she could talk to him. She had to tale to him about Neji.

No one answered.

She kncoked on the door again, starting to pant with nervousness. How could she explain something like this to the crazy new boyfriend of hers.

No one answered.

She kncoked again, but she was starting to get impatient. But Naruto was proabably asleep. Getting ready to come answer. But wiat, why won't his parents answer then? Maybe they won't home. Maybe that meant neither was Naruto. But he had told her before he would be home all day the next day.

No one answered.

She knocked once again, sighing in frustaration. This had neer happen to her before. She was always shy and wouldn't get all mad or get wait over this. This was partly good becuase she wasn't so shy anymore. But it meant that she could turn... wait, nevermind! she told herse;f. She was getting off tomic.

No one answered.

She knocked once again, she hoped this was the last time. Hopefully it was a yes, becuase the door began to slowly open. But she gasped when the door opened all the way!

A/n: it had been so long since i updated this becuase i forgot about it! silly me. hope you liked it. kind of boring though. but whatever. the climax is coming oh so ever closer. so keep reading!
