(A/N:I made a change to chapter twelve, so if you have already read it, please go back and read close to end. The change is in the recap, but if you want to, you can read the whole chapter again, so it makes since.)

Recap of Chapter Twelve

"What do you see in that kyuubi....

"Don't call Naruto-kun that!" yelled Hinata, getting to her feet quickly.

"I'm sorry, Lady Hinata." said Izamu, bowing to her.
"Please forgive me."

"Alright Izamu-kun, I forgive you." said Hinata.

"It was wrong of me, to say such things." said Izamu.
"But what happened between Neji and TenTen has us all on edge. Considering that a Hyuga would commit such a crime, on a fellow shinobi."

Hinata looked at him a little curiously, and started to say something, but at that moment Naruto arrived.

"Hey Hinata-chan, you ready for our date?" asked Naruto.

"Naruto-kun!"yelled Hinata, running over to him, and hugging him.

"Wow." said Naruto, once Hinata had released him.
"I can't believe I was so blind to your feelings for me Hinata-chan. But if you had done this, I sure would have noticed it sooner. Well, let's get going, before the reservation expires.", takes Hinata's hand, and starts walking.

"Later Izamu-kun." called Hinata, over her shoulder.

After Hinata had left, Izamu turned around and headed back into the compound.

Chapter Thirteen

As Naruto and Hinata walked through the village, Naruto was talking about this and that. Hinata meanwhile, wasn't paying much attention, since she was thinking about what Izamu had said. Naruto noticed this after a short time.

"Hey Hinata, is something wrong?" asked Naruto, touching her shoulder.

"Oh, everything's fine Naruto-kun." said Hinata.
"I am just looking forward to our date."

"Oh ok." said Naruto.
"I'm sure you will find tonight special."

"As long as it's with you Naruto-kun, any night is special." said Hinata.

A little later, Naruto and Hinata arrived at a restaurant, and found Tsunade standing outside. As Naruto walked towards the entrance, Tsunade looked in there direction, and started towards them. On reaching them, she looked at Naruto, and said.

"It's about time you got here brat."
"I was starting to wonder if you had changed your mind."

"Come on Tsunade-baachan." said Naruto.
"You know that it is a long walk from my place to Hinata's, then added to walking here."

"I suppose so." said Tsunade
"But you better be grateful, that I am doing this for you. Especially considering, that I have tons of paperwork."

Hinata had a confused look on her face, as she listened to the conversation between Naruto and Tsunade. Tsunade noticed this and said.

"From the look she has, I take it you didn't inform Hinata about me being here."

"No I didn't." said Naruto, turning to Hinata.
"Tsunade-baachan, is here because i'm not allowed in this restaurant. And the only way I could make the reservation, was by getting her to help me."

"You don't have to worry though, Hinata." said Tsunade.
"I am only here to help Naruto get inside. The two of you will be on your own at the table you get."

"Ok." said Hinata.

Tsunade then turned around and headed towards the restaurant entrance. On reaching it. she was greeted by a doorman.

"Lady Hokage, it is a pleasure to see you." said the man.

"I have a reservation, plus two." said Tsunade, motioning towards Naruto and Hinata.

The man looked in the direction, Tsunade had pointed, and catching sight of Naruto, he started to say something, but was stopped by Tsunade.

"You need to be very careful on what you are about to say." said Tsunade.

"Of course. Lady Hokage." said the man.
"If you will follow me, I will show you to a table."

"They will be eating at a different table, then mine" said Tsunade.

"Very well. said the man, walking inside.

As Naruto and Hinata, fell in behind Tsunade, the man lead them to two different tables, where Naruto and Hinata sat at one, and Tsunade sat at another some distance away.

Some hours later, Naruto having payed for there food, asked.

"Did you enjoy the evening Hinata?"

"It was wonderful, Naruto-kun." said Hinata.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it, Hinata." said Naruto.
"If your ready to go, i'll walk you home."

Ok." said Hinata.
"But shouldn't we at least wake, Tsunade-sama?"

Naruto looked over at Tsunade, and saw that she was asleep with about six to eight sake bottles on the table.

"She'll be alright." said Naruto.

Getting to his feet, he held hs hand to Hinata. Hinata took Naruto's offered hand, and allowed him to help her up. Leaving the restaurant a few minutes later, Naruto walked Hinata back towards the Hyuga Compound. As they reached the turn that goes towards Naruto's home, Hinata stopped walking, and said.

"Naruto-kun, I will ok on my own from here."

"Are you sure, Hinata?" asked Naruto.
"I don't mind walking you all the way there."

"It's ok Naruto-kun." said Hinata.
"I really did enjoy the evening with you."

"Ok." said Naruto.
"I'll see you tomorrow.", starts walking down the road heading towards his apartment.

Hinata watched Naruto leave, until he was out of sight. She then turned back the way they had come, and headed towards the hospital.
