Chapter 12:
Naruto left for home not too long after the family dinner and Hinata couldn't be anymore pleased with the outcome. Her family wasn't against them being together and he was falling for her. Her of all people. It felt like the perfect fairy tale dream that she never wanted to wake up from.
She sat all night with her mother and Hanabi in her room just talking about Naruto and how charming he is. It was nice to know that the people closest to her were fond of him. Her mother like him most of all, she believed that Naruto was the one for her daughter and told Hinata to never let him go.
Hinata didn't plan on letting Naruto anytime soon. She worked so hard to be good enough, to catch up to him. Now that she is at that point, she knows that she worked hard to get to where she is. And it was all thanks to him. Her beautiful Naruto.
Naruto told her that he had a week long mission to deliver a few scrolls and a medical tonic so he wouldn't be in the village to see her. It sucked, but absence made the heart grow fonder. It wouldn't be so bad since she could help out Sakura at the hospital and she could also clean up around Naruto's home so it would be nice for when he came back.
The girls were elated when they found out all the great news that happened and Ino finally announced that her and Sai were dating. It wasn't much of a surprise though, he practically lived at her flower shop. It really seemed that they were all growing up and becoming adults. It wouldn't be so long until they talked about their troubles as wives and mothers rather than an upcoming mission.
She did have a serious talk with her father about her relationship with Naruto. Her father would allow her to be with Naruto for as long as she was happy with him. He also told her rather embarrassing things like keeping her virtue until she is a married woman and of course it made her blush.
Today the girls were going to Hinata's house for a small get-together. They even invited Temari all the way from the Suna and she really appreciated the offer and agreed to come. Temari has been in the village a lot lately so she really wouldn't have to travel to much to get to Hinata's house. Hiashi offered to give Hinata space in the mansion for her get-together secluded only for her and her friends, so Sakura and Ino came to Hinata's house a little bit earlier than the rest of the girls to help decorate it a bit.
"Thanks for helping out again!" Hinata smiled at her friends while she swept the floors.
Ino was arranging flowers in the room and paused to look over at Hinata, "Anytime, we were in need for some girl time."
"Yeah! We all need a break from the rest of the world every once in awhile." Sakura winked.
Hinata swept the pile into the dust pan and stood up, "I'm happy to be able to do this, it's not often that we have days like these."
"You're just taking your mind off of your 'Naruto-kun' aren't you." Sakura nudged Hinata causing her to blush.
"W-Well I do miss him, b-but I honestly love hanging out with all of you." she stammered.
Ino finished arranging the flowers and walked over to the others, "It's about time that idiot realized how you felt. You two are just so cute together!"
"T-Thank you." Hinata covered her cheeks.
"Aww, we're teasing you. Naruto gets that way about you too y'know." Sakura said to her.
"He does?" Hinata looked up at her friend and received a nod as an answer.
"Sai tells me that he goes to him for advice with you all the time now." Ino chuckled, "He really wants things to go great, Hinata."
"I want things to go great too." Hinata admitted, "He did say that he's falling for me, so it's working."
"I can't believe he said that! I would die to hear Sai say that to me." Ino nearly squealed.
"Me neither, Naruto is so clueless when it comes to that," Sakura agreed.
"He did and I could tell he's serious about it." Hinata sighed happily, "I can't wait to see him again and hold him in my arms."
"That's so sweet!" Ino clasped her hands together.
The girls continued to decorate and some of the Hyuuga's servants joined by placing desserts and finger foods on the counter. Everything was ready, all they had to do is wait for TenTen and Temari to come. It didn't take long for them to arrive and the girls started their get-together.
"Thanks for the invite, Hinata." TenTen beamed and gave Hinata a hug.
Hinata hugged TenTen back and gave Temari a hug, "No problem, I just thought it would be a great idea for all of us to get together."
"She even hired some people to give us a spa day." Ino cheered.
Hinata nodded and lead them to a room, "Just tell them what you want girls and don't worry about the costs okay?"
The girls ended up getting massages, facials, manicures, and pedicures. It was great that the could all get a day of relaxation because they deserved it. These were the strongest girls of the ninja world and nobody gave them enough credit for it. It wouldn't be a team without them.
It was night time now and the girls were in one of the guest bedrooms watching one of their favorite romance movies eating as much junk food they could stuff in their faces.
"I would kill for Sai to watch this movie with me!" Ino choked up.
"Oh, Lee cries every time we watch this movie." TenTen shook her head.
"You and Lee are an item?" Sakura raised her brow.
"Yeah.." TenTen's cheeks grew a bit red, "Ever since Neji, we've gotten closer and one thing led to another and now we're together."
Ino gasped and her eyes widened, "YOU AND LEE SLEPT TOGETHER?!"
TenTen waved her hands and shushed Ino, "Gosh! Yes, Ino, we did!"
Hinata smiled and patted TenTen's shoulder, "It's good you two have each other. If he makes you happy then everything should be fine."
"You're right, Hinata!" TenTen nodded her head, "Yeah, he may be obnoxious and a bit crazy, but he's right for me."
"I'm glad that you and Lee are together, even if the circumstances are out of the blew." Sakura smiled.
They all spent the rest of the night watching their movies and gossiping like the girls they are. It was great that they had this time with each other and they would definitely remember this night for a long time.
A/N: Sorry if this chapter seems short, but I plan to get to Naruto on the next chapter and you can expect a little bit of drama coming soon!.
