Be afraid…..

XXXXXXXXXXXX

Hinata sat in here room at her vanity, brushing through her short hair with her fingers. There were only a few hours left until she would go up to see Naruto.

These past few weeks have been hard to keep his secret. But of course it did make her feel special, being the only one who knew where he was. But it was hard not to tell everyone, especially his old team, that he was alive.

Hinata stopped brushing her hair when she became aware of the voices from down stairs in the Court yard. She stood up and made her way down the stairs.

Upon arriving in the courtyard, she saw that Neji had invited Lee, Sasuke and Sakura to train.

Neji was practicing his eight palms rotation in the middle of the yard. Sakura was sitting on the porch, studying Medical jutsu. Ever since what they call "that day", she had been training hard under the apprenticeship of Tsunade as a Medical ninja so she's never have to see that again.

Sasuke leaned against the rails, lining the area, with his hands in his pockets and his eyes closed while Lee wouldn't shut up about wanting to fight him and about the times he had beaten him at the stupidest things. It was like a mini Kakashi and Guy.

"Come on! One fight! Or are you scared I will win like the time I beat you at rock paper scissors?"

"Did you say something?" Sasuke said coolly, not bothering to open his eyes.

"Ugh! He always acts so cool!" Lee shouted to pretty much himself.

Hinata quietly giggled at them, drawing Sakura's attention.

"Oh hey Hinata! How are you?" Sakura asked, closing her book.

"I'm fine thank you, how about you?" Hinata sat next to Sakura.

"Oh, I'm just studying. Tsunade-sama is really pushing me hard. Hey you want to do something tonight?" she offered

"Um, that's okay. I have plans." Hinata said

"With who? Is it a boy?!? Who is he?!" Sakura asked frantically

"Ummm…." Hinata blushed

"Oh, I get it. It's a secret." Sakura looked Hinata over. "Are you going on a date in your ninja clothes?" she asked, cocking an eyebrow

"W-well I was going to-"

"Hinata, you can't go on a date like this!" Sakura exclaimed. She took her cell phone out of her back pouch and hit speed dial.

"Hello, Ino? Listen, we've got some work to do…"

XXXXXXXX

Naruto paced back and forth on top of the Hoshibaru Hill. The sun started to fade over the Horizon and Naruto began to wonder when Hinata would show up. He wore his new clothes and a hat to cover his ears. Of course, there was nothing he could do about his tail, so he tried to keep it behind him.

He was scared to death about Hinata's reaction. She was the most kind and understanding person he had ever met and if she didn't accept him, who would?

He suddenly heard scuffling for the side of the hill - which felt more like a mountain. These new ears of his could pick it up from miles and miles, but he had learned to tune everything out.

Sounds like who ever it is, is having trouble walking. Naruto thought

He suddenly saw jet black hair coming up the hill. Naruto panicked for a second. This was it, the moment of truth. Something else caught his eyes; slowly making its way up the hill on either side of jet black was light blonde and pink. Now his panic was full on. He thought about running, he thought about just telling Sakura and Ino.

What am I going to do?!?

XXXXXXXXX

"I'm n-not sure about this guys." Hinata stuttered as she almost tripped, yet again from the uncomfortable high heels show was forced to wear.

Hinata wore a short, causal, light purple Kimono. She knew that this wasn't a date and that they were just hanging out because Naruto missed his friends, but she let Ino and Sakura have their fun.

"Trust me Hinata, he won't be able to take his eyes of you." Ino smiled.

Hinata blushed.

"And besides, you have such a nice figure! Why would you hide it under that jacket?" Sakura asked

"I-I don't know." Hinata said. She missed that jacket right now.

The trio of Kunoichi walked up to the top of them hill, only to be met with a dark figure.

"Is that him?" Ino asked, trying to get a better look

"I think so." Hinata answered

"Oi! Excuse me!" Sakura called.

Who ever it was seemed to hear her. He walked over to them.

"Hey, Hinata-chan….."

"Na…" Hinata remember Sakura and Ino beside her, "Namari-kun?" So she made up a name.

"Uh, Hai!" He smiled. Naruto covered the whisker marks on his cheeks with dirt, and covered his blonde hair with his hat. Minus the orange jumpsuit and Konoha Head band and no one would be able to tell he was Naruto. And you know, the fact that everyone thought he was dead.

Sakura walked over to him and started circling around him, examining his features.

"You seem familiar… Do I know you?" she asked, staring at his cerulean eyes.

"….. Nope." Naruto lied.

"Huh, I could swear that your Chakra signature feels familiar." Sakura said. She walked back to Ino and Hinata.

"Well, we'll be going know. Have fun Hinata!" Ino said as she and Sakura turned around and walked back down the hill.

"Man, he seems so familiar. And he's kinda cute." Sakura said.

"Yeah, If you look closely, He kind of looks like Naruto…. Opps." Ino regretting mentioning her friend's 'dead' team-mate. She immediately saw the hidden sadness in Sakura's eyes as her mind pulled forward unwanted memories from just two months ago.

"I'm sorry." Ino apologized

"No, I'm fine. Hey, want to go get something to eat?" Sakura asked, trying to changed the subject

Ino put an arm around Sakura's shoulder in a comforting gesture. She admired how strong Sakura was. If it had been Shikamaru or Chouji, she would fall to pieces every time she was reminded of them. "Sounds good."

XXXXXXX

Naruto took off his hat and laughed as soon as Sakura and Ino were out of sight.

"Do you think they fell for it?" Naruto asked, rubbing the dirt of his cheek

"I think so. B-But it does look like you fell down a hill." Hinata giggled, referring to the dirt on his face.

"Ehehehe, I didn't have a lot to work with." He grinned

Naruto and Hinata walked over to the lone tree on the Hill and sat in its shade. Naruto made sure to stand behind Hinata on the way to the tree and to sit on an angle so she wouldn't see his tail.

"So, Naruto…. I-I've been wondering. W-Why do you not want everyone know you're alive?" Hinata asked

"It's complicated, but I know its better this way. For now anyway, until I get stronger. But I wouldn't be able to help Akatsuki if they know I was alive. They wouldn't listen to me when I told them about Jigoku, and everyone I know love would be in danger." Naruto explained

"It must be hard for you." Hinata said

"It can be." Naruto said "Okay, my turn to ask a question. Why did you choose this place to meet?" Naruto asked

"Look around." Hinata smiled

For the first time since he got there, Naruto REALLY looked around at the scenery. Now that the sun was down and the moon was out, He could see the lights of Konoha not far away. The stars illuminated their faces. And it was so high up, it felt like they were on top of the world.

(On top of the world- boys like Girls)

"Whoa, I guess I didn't take time to take in the scenery." Naruto stated in awe.

Hinata's gaze shifted to Naruto's hat. It was a beautiful night, why was he wearing a Tuk?

"Naruto-kun, why are you wearing that hat?" she asked

Naruto's heart beat quickened. "Um…. You have to promise not to freak out. It's still me." Naruto said, putting his hands in front of his face.

"N-naruto-kun, you're scaring me….." Hinata said quietly.

"Okay, here it goes." Naruto slowly lifted his hands to his hat and pulled it off, revealing a pair of russet fox ears. He then swayed his tail to the side so she could see.

"N-naruto-kun….. You thought I wouldn't like you anymore because you have Fox ears?" Hinata asked.

"They had to change the fix's seal or else it would destroy me. This is the result." He said carefully.

Hinata giggled for a second.

"What so funny?" Naruto asked innocently, tilting his head to the side curiosly- which made his look more like a Fox.

"It's just….. Kawaii!" Hinata smiled and scratched Naruto behind the ears. She knew perfectly well that she was several shades of red, but this moment was too cute (and ooc). And it seemed that Naruto liked it, he was laughing causing his tail to sway side to side behind him. Hinata pulled her hand back.

"So you don't want to leave and not talk to me?" Naruto asked

"Never." Hinata smiled

"So, what's going on in the village?" Naruto asked

"It's still hard for every one. Especially Sasuke and Sakura-san and Kakashi-sensei. Kakashi blamed himself for everything, for not protecting you enough, for not being able to save you. He always goes to the memorial stone and sits there for hours. Sometimes Sakura and Sasuke would join him.

"Sasuke is trying to be more social, to hide the pain, but you can still see all of it in his eyes. He doesn't talk much, but he hangs out with Sakura and everyone more. Sakura more than anyone else. You can see that when he's with her and Kakashi-sensei, he feels like you're there too. Speaking of Sakura…. She thought about quitting as a Shinobi for a while, but Tsunade-sama, Sasuke and Kakashi convinced her to train as a Medical ninja, to ease her guilt." Hinata explained

"She thought about quitting?" Naruto asked in awe.

"Yeah, everyone was shocked. You'll never guess what she thought about doing instead." She said

"What?" Naruto asked

"She sings. Really good, and her father taught her guitar when she was younger. She writes her own songs and performs them at a place called The voice Box. Sasuke, Ino, Neji and I went to see her once, when we found out about her performance. Most of her songs are about life as a Shinobi, her experiences… and losing you." Hinata stated sadly

"Wow, who would have though it. Sakura can sing." Naruto stated in awe. "I wish I could see her perform." He said silently

"Ino recorded her with my camera. DO you want to see?" Hinata asked, taking her camera out of a hidden pocket inside her Kimono.

"Please." Naruto said, leaning over and looking at the screen.

Hinata pressed play….
