"Where are we going?" Naruto asked as she led him through the wooded area behind the school.
"I found this one day after school." She replied as they ventured even deeper.
"And Takeshi didn't know about it?" Naruto asked.
"I don't think so. He never said anything." She answered as she climbed over a log. "I haven't been here since freshman year… it's changed." She stated.
"Will you please tell me where we are going?" Naruto complained.
"Nope… It's a surprise." Hinata replied with a giggle. Naruto moaned. "Don't worry. We're almost there." Hinata responded.
"Why did you come all the back here?" Naruto asked as the woods finally opened up and he was able to move freely. "Whoa…" he said.
"So you like it?" Hinata asked, sitting down with a smile.
"It's beautiful!" he responded falling into a pile of leaves and staring at the sky. "Come on Hinata! It's prettier from here." Naruto pulled Hinata down next to him so she would be looking at the sky.
"Yes, it is. All of this is." She said and took Naruto's hand, squeezing it. "I'm sorry Naruto. I really, really am. I wish I-"
"You keep saying sorry. You don't need to anymore… I understand now. It's fine." Naruto replied as he looked at her.
"But everything's not fine. I don't know if I'll ever see you again. My father said I'm going to England for a few months… I want to stay here but-"
"You should go with Satoru. He's gonna be your husband and if he makes you happy then you should stay by his side… Besides, you'd get to travel the world." Naruto grinned, trying to hide his disappointment.
Hinata saw through it though. "I'll call and we can chat on Facebook and Skype." She replied as she moved closer, taking out her phone and taking a picture of Naruto.
"You defriended or blocked me or whatever, remember?" Naruto asked taking a picture of them lying together.
"I didn't defriend- Takeshi. He has access to my Facebook… I better change my password when I get the chance." She told him. "I'll add you and anyone else he defriended." She added.
It was quiet; causing a comfortable silence. Hinata started to doze, despite the cold, when Naruto spoke. "We have twenty minutes."
Hinata moaned and sat up, turning around to face Naruto. "Are you sure-" Naruto kissed her passionately, not wanting to let her go. She kissed back with the same passion and took his phone, checking the time.
She narrowed her eyes and pulled away. "We still have thirty minutes!" she said angrily.
He smirked and she pushed him onto the ground. "You were sad. I had to do something to cheer you up." He replied before she kissed him.
"Well it worked." She unlocked his phone and set an alarm for 10:05. "I set your alarm for fifteen till. It took us about ten to get here and being five minutes early won't hurt." She informed Naruto.
"Can we forget the alarm and just go when we think-" he tried to suggest.
"No Naruto. This is not school!" she told him as he took his phone back.
"We're going back to the school- aren't we?" he said sarcastically.
"Do you want to go now?" Hinata threatened. Naruto knew it was false but he didn't like it anyways. He shook his head.
"Give me your phone back then. I'm serious Naruto!" she yelled when he still refused. "Fine… then turn the alarm back on." She demanded.
Naruto didn't move. A grin appeared on his face. "You're just wasting time Naruto. If you set that to the wrong time, we-" Hinata said.
"And how will you know what the time is?" he asked her.
"I have my own phone!" she told him.
"Then set your own alarm."
"It's easier to do it on your phone! Please Naruto… and don't screw the time up- 10:05. I won't re-add you on Facebook if you go past 10:05." She said.
"I don't believe you-" Naruto said as he began setting the time.
Hinata tore the phone from his hands, quickly setting the time and going to Settings. "What are you doing?" Naruto asked reaching for it.
Hinata leaned away, setting a Passcode and locking it. She smiled and handed it back to him. He went to unlock it but Enter Passcode popped up. "Hinata!" he said upset.
"You were going to keep messing with my time. I had to do something." She said then adding, "Is the sound on?" Naruto looked and nodded.
Hinata checked her phone and sighed in irritation. "Fifteen minutes? We spent half our time on my alarm because you-" Naruto kissed her pushing her to the ground. "You interrupted me."
"Do you want to waste any more time together on your alarm?" he asked her. She kissed him back as a response.
Naruto held her close, feeling her heart beat against his. "I love you." He said, making her smile.
"I love you too." She replied, suddenly seeing his eyes become watery. "Naruto, what's wrong?" she asked worriedly.
"You'll be gone soon." He answered, holding back the tears and cursing himself for his reply. "I mean, I feel like you've completed a part of me and now-"
"I'll come back- no worries… There's something I really want to ask you- something really important and I hope you don't get offended."
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Yeah… what is it?"
Hinata took a deep breath. "Will you come to my wedding tomorrow?" she held it, waiting for Naruto to reply.
He sat up and scratched his head, thinking. "Hinata, I don't know if I can." He replied.
She swallowed. "I understand. You have school and-"
"No, that's not it. I can forget about school. It's seeing you up there with someone else. I know it's for you but… I really don't know-"
"I get it Naruto. You don't have to explain yourself so much." Hinata told him, seeing the relief on his face but the worry still in his eyes. "I'm serious Naruto! Ino's going to find out and then show up…" she laughed. "You know how Ino is."
She saw the look on Naruto's face. She was about to speak when the alarm went off, startling them both. "Damn it!" Naruto said as he grabbed the phone and hit snooze. "What's the passcode?" he asked her.
Hinata grabbed Naruto's hand and began walking them back to the school. "1234." She replied.
"Oh… Why didn't I try that?" Naruto wondered, as he unlocked his phone and turned the alarm off. "Umm… Hinata. If I did go to the wedding, where would I show up at?" Naruto asked her, opening Notes so he could write down the address.
"I'll let you know." She told him, keeping the sadness from her voice.
"You don't know where your own wedding is?" he asked her suspicious. She shook her head and kept walking.
"It's at nine. That's the only thing." She told him, seeing a black berry bush. She paused to pick a few.
"When you find out, let me know. I might come… And the after-party?" he wondered.
"After-party?" she thought for minute. "Oh, the reception. They haven't filled me in on much." She answered. "I'll let you know though."
"Want me to bring you-"
"Look, the school." Hinata said, almost thankfully. They walked to the side door and opened it, walking inside. Hinata turned to him as they made their way to the office. "When I find out, I'll let you know." She said, kissing him just as they arrived in front of the office.
Naruto sighed. "Jiraiya's been acting funny. I hope I don't get grounded…" Naruto whined, walking into the office with Hinata and making their way back.
"Where have you been? You were supposed to be back ten minutes ago!" Hiashi exclaimed angrily.
"We went for a walk. I'm not late. I set an alarm-" she protested.
"Then it was the wrong time because you were supposed to come back here at 10:15." He yelled.
"We made our way back at 10:05 and then here we are fifteen minutes later- 10:20."
Naruto wanted to disappear seeing at how angry her father was. "It's 10:33!" he yelled. Jiraiya and the principal walked out quietly. Jiraiya tried grabbing Naruto but Naruto shook him off.
Hinata looked at Naruto. "Naruto… Did you, by any chance, mess with my alarm?" she asked with a forced smile. He gulped.
"I only wanted to spend more time with you Hinata-" Naruto tried to explain.
"I don't want to hear it Naruto. We spent an extra ten minutes out there because you wanted to spend more time with me… What about Kiba and Shino? Messing around wasn't in my plans for saying goodbye." She said angrily as she and Hiashi walked passed him and out into the hall.
"Hinata, wait!" he called after her. "Please understand. I never know when I'm going to see you again-"
"That's why we took pictures Naruto!" she yelled as she stomped to the front doors.
"I take it I'm not going to get re-added then?" he asked slowly following her outside.
