Devi: Thank you all for your amazing reviews. And to who reviewed for ShikaIno, I am so sorry...but I do not ship that...at all. I ship Ino with either Choji, Gaara, or Kiba. Lol, yeaaaah...sometimes Sai. *Looks away* Anywhooo~! On to the story! GUYS...I REALIZE THAT I HAD SAID THAT NARUTO AND HINATA HAD GONE ON DATES PRIOR TO THIS CHAPTER...I MEANT MORE AS FRIENDS. THIS IS A SERIOUS DATE.

(NaruHina- Date)

(Normal POV)

Naruto gulped nervously and pulled at his hair; he had Sasuke come over and help him with his outfit for tonight. Sasuke had picked out a neon orange shirt that fit in all the right places; black jeans and black converse with orange laces accompanied the outfit. He felt a cold sweat on the back of his neck and his hands felt clammy. Naruto paced around the outside of Hinata's estate, trying to dispel the butterflies that had erupted inside of him.

After pacing for a few more minutes, Naruto was determined to make this one of Hinata's best nights ever and with steel determination, he knocked on the gates.

(With Hinata)

Hinata swallowed nervously, tugging at the lone piece of black hair that cascaded down her shoulder; the rest of her hair was tied up in a messy, yet elegant, bun. She had on dark skinny jeans, a light lavender top that hung loosely around her thin frame, a black necklace and silver converse. She thought she looked elegant yet comfortable. The blush on her cheeks had yet to fade from earlier that afternoon, and she knew it wouldn't fade for quite some time.

Hinata smiled at her reflection, the butterflies making her hands shake. She'd been waiting a long time for Naruto to notice her as not a friend, but as a woman. The nervousness escalated when Neji called to her, announcing that her 'date' was there. She rolled her eyes at Neji's attitude; but nothing could deter her. She'd been waiting years for this, no way was her overprotective cousin going to ruin it.

She took one more calming breath, and walked down the stairs at a steady pace. When she finally reached the bottom, she was proud of herself for not fainting; the whole way down she felt shaky.

Naruto was being lectured by Neji and she giggled behind her hand, earning the boys attention. Naruto gaped for a few seconds before gulping nervously, pulling at the front of his shirt; his hands were clammy and his heart felt like it was going to burst.

"H-hina-chan..." Naruto smiled nervously, "You look...beautiful." Hinata felt herself blush brightly at the way Naruto said beautiful; it sounded warm and honest.

Hinata was sure she rivaled that of a tomato. Naruto stuck his hand out for Hinata to take, and she did so tentatively. When his hand clasped hers, Hinatat couldn't help the small giggled that brushed past her lips; his hand felt just right.

Naruto noticed and smiled wider; but he felt nervous again when he felt Neji's pissed off glare drilling holes into him.

"Ehm...Hina-chan, let's go, shall we?" Naruto was beyond anxious, and Hinata could tell; she quickly agreed and they left in a hurry, Neji's glare following them all the way down the street.

It was quiet as they walked hand-in-hand but Naruto didn't like it; he wanted to be loud and obnoxious like he always was but Sasuke had told him to act normal and polite. Hinata noticed he was being reserved and frowned.

"N-Naruto-kun?" He looked at her, "Is e-everything a-alright?"

"Eh?" He tried to play it off, but failed; he sighed before giving an apologetic smile. "Sorry, Hina-chan, I'm just really nervous and I'm trying to follow teme's advice."

Hinata smiled, "I-It's okay," She squeezed his hand, "I'm n-nervous, too. But, we should j-just be ourselves!"

Naruto twined their fingers and chuckled; her advice was definitely better than teme's. "You're right! So, shall we go enjoy ourselves!?" Naruto quickly became himself again, and that made Hinata's heart sky-rocket. Oh, she was definitely in love with him.

(Time-skip, after their date, ten p.m.)

Hinata laughed at Naruto's latest joke.

Naruto sighed happily, his hand tightening around Hinata's; "I really enjoyed tonight, Hina-chan." He smiled cheekily at her which Hinata responded to by kissing his cheeks; it was an act of pure innocence but it set Naruto's cheeks ablaze.

He looked down at Hinata, stunned. Well, that was a pleasantly unexpected surprise! Hinata felt herself grow nervous the more they stood there; she wasn't worried for long, though, when she felt Naruto hug her tightly.

They didn't say anything but Naruto kept showering her cheeks in kisses; she was laughing and giggling, her cheeks redder than an apple itself.

"I really, really, like you, Hinata-chan," Naruto had stopped kissing her face long enough to look her in the eyes, his forehead against hers; he closed his eyes, a light smile adorned his lips, "I'm really glad I finally asked you out,"

Hinata sighed in content and leaned farther into him, her eyes closed, a grin on her face; she still felt Naruto's kisses all over her cheeks and giggled.

"Hmm?" Naruto hummed.

"N-nothing, just r-really h-happy." Hinata whispered.

Naruto peeked his eyes open slowly, staring at her. He took in every detail, when he finally got to her lips. They were a little chapped, but they still looked kissable; so, he kissed her.

At first, their kiss was mostly one-sided, considering Hinata was trying not to faint, but when he pulled back, Hinata pulled him back down. Their lips moved at a steady pace, along with the occasional nipping and sucking on the bottom lip. After a few more seconds, Naruto pulled back, breathing heavily, and laid butterfly kisses along her jaw. Hinata giggled, though still breathless.

A few seconds later and Naruto pulled away fully. Hinata held back her whimper of discontent and instead twined their fingers; Hinata wasn't sure what it was but she was definitely bolder tonight than any other night/day.

"I suppose I should get you home," Naruto said.

"S-suppose so," She responded, tightening her grasp on his hand.

He tugged her hand softly and they continued their way to the Hyuga estate, ending their first date of many more to come.

(Here comes the ShikaTema, guys:D)

Shikamaru sighed and leaned farther into the couch cushions; today was slow and it was boring, so now he was sitting in Temari's apartment watching the wind bend the leaves outside her window. He ignored the clanging in the kitchen and threw an arm over his eyes. He had planned to go ask Naruto about some things but then he found out he was going out on an official date with Hinata.

"Oi, crybaby! Want some tea, too?" Temari called out, disturbing Shikamaru's 'peace'.

He groaned in annoyance, "Yes," there, he answered, now she would leave him alone until-

"Green tea?"

Shikamaru frowned, "Yes."

"Milk?" Oh, she was doing this on purpose.

He ignored her.

"Would you like milk?" She tried again, trying to keep the smirk off her face.

He ignored her yet again.

"Oh, darling~!" She was standing above him, a cup of milk clasped in her hand, "I said; Would. You. Like. Some. Milk?" She dumped it all over him.

Shikamaru shot up into the air and looked like a fish out of water.

"GOSH-FREAKING! TEMARI!" He shouted.

She did an innocent act, "Oops...did I do that?" She had a pouty expression on her lips and a finger pressed against her bottom lip.

Shikamaru growled and wiped the dripping substance from his eyebrow; then he got an idea. He quickly stopped her in her spot, using his shadow jutsu and walked towards her until they met in the middle; she was yelling profanities at him. He smirked evilly and drenched her in a bear hug, the milk dripping onto her as well.

She growled and tried to him but he still had her in encased in his jutsu.

"I hate you," She ground out.

He smirked, "I love you, too."

Temari felt a blush creep up her neck and mumbled, "Idiot," before pleading; "Can you please release me from your jutsu!?"

"Maybe later," He was chuckling. "I want to hold you a little longer without you beating me to death with that fan of yours."

Temari grumbled and stared at the window behind Shikamaru; "Love you, too." She whispered.

Devi: Hm...I'm actually quite pleased with this chapter! :D Review, my loves, review :3
