Hello again. The next chapter's up. Hope you guys enjoy it.

I Think You Changed

XXI.

Hinata woke up a couple of hours after Naruto took her home. She began to stir and began to sit up. She began to look around, confused about her current situation.

I'm home. How did I get here? What happened to Naruto-kun? What time is it?

She now stood up and walked toward the glass table to where brown antique clock sat. It read 7:30 p.m. As she glanced over at the small clock, she noticed a sheet of paper lying next to the clock. She picked it up and it said:

Hinata-chan,

If you're reading this, you're probably awake. What am I saying?! Of course you're awake. You can't read it if you're asleep!

She let out a small giggle as she continued reading.

Anyway, you were probably wondering what you were doing at home. See right before we decided to take a break, it looks like you used up to much chakra and you fainted. You scared me, don't do that again! I didn't know were your keys were so I went around and a door was open around back. So I went in and I left you sleeping on the couch. Don't worry cutie, I didn't do anything or take anything. I'll stop by tomorrow in the afternoon. One more thing, don't leave your doors open, I don't want anything to happen to you. Hope you feel better. Good night cutie.

Naruto

"Naruto-kun…,"she said as she began to think of him and blush. She then looked over to the sofa were his bright orange jacket lay slightly folded, now that Hinata had moved it.

He left his jacket…for me…Naruto-kun…

A small smile slid across her face.

I'll take it to him tomorrow. That's the least I can do. It's getting late. I should take a shower, eat dinner and go to sleep.

She now took his jacket, neatly folded it, and placed it on top of her bed. She then exited the room and headed toward the shower.

XXII.

Naruto was soundly asleep in his room. He was hugging his pillow having, apparently a nice dream.

"Hinata-chan, you're the best.Hihihi."

He was dreaming about him and Hinata. It was now around 1 in the morning. Today, he had training to do with Ero-sennin, and had to pick up a couple of things from the store.

He then awoke a couple of hours later, around 8:30 a.m. He got up, when to then bathroom to wash up and got dressed. He rushed to the kitchen, prepared himself some ramen, and dashed out the door to begin his training with Ero-Sennin at 9:00.

Meanwhile with Hinata…

Hinata had already been awake and was now training outside her house. After her training with Naruto, she realized that she shouldn't push herself too hard. She began taking her time, working on her stances, and training her Byakugan to more that she could already control. Her thorough training continued for around another hour or so before she decided to take a break and go inside.

I'll go visit Naruto-kun today and thank him. Oh, and I have to help out Kiba-kun today with Akamaru. I hope Naruto-kun doesn't mind that I'll be around Kiba-kun for a while.

She then went into the kitchen to get some tea to drink before heading out for training again.

Naruto had now arrived to where his training would commence with Jiraiya. He saw him peeking through the bushes at their usual training spot, the waterfall. There were three young ladies throwing water at each other and giggling.

"Ooh, heheh…this would be excellent in my new book," he said as a perverted smile spread across his face.

"Hey, Ero-Sennin, I'm here! Stop being a pervert and train me! You're always looking at girls, you pervert, "he said beginning to lose his patience.

"Well, and you don't? Never mind. Today, we'll just be working on your chakra control," he said, now facing him.

Naruto sighed. At least it's better than nothing.Hm, I wonder what Hinata-chan's doing.

"Alright then…are you ready Naruto?"He asked as he now placed his full attention on him.

"Finally Ero-Sennin, some action! Kage Bushin no Jutsu!"

With that, ten shadow clones appeared in poof of white smoke and all faced his teacher.

"Ok, now Naruto.I want you to now try to use the Rasengan without using any clones."

"No clones?! I can't do that yet! Then why did you make me create shadow clones?!," he yelled out at him.

"Me?! You're the one that just said that we got action and created them!"

Naruto let out another sigh." Fine." He then undid the jutsu and now stood completely still as all ten of his shadow clones disappeared in a poof of smoke.

Now Naruto was trying to gather up chakra with all of his force into his right hand.

Sigh…this could take a while. I just want to go see Hinata-chan.

Training continued for around another two hours. Even though Jiraiya had not been paying much attention to Naruto throughout that whole time.

"Alright Naruto, training's over. You can go home now or wherever it is you're going now."

"Yes! Thanks Ero-Sennin! I can go see Hinata-chan now! Yes!,"he said without realizing what he was screaming out.

"Who? Why are you so excited?,"he asked confused.

Naruto blushed madly."Oh, I-it's nothing, bye Ero-Sennin!,"he said as he quickly turned around and ran toward town, heading toward the store.

Ok, another chapter done.I hope it was alright.Next chapter, well, all I'll say is that Naruto and Hinata spend the night together.Did I spoil it? I'm sorry. But I hope that you guys enjoyed the next chapter, and don't forget to review.Bye.
