Sorry about the long update. I was sick for like almost 2 weeks and could barely get out of bed. And then I had to deal with stuff at school. This chapter isn't much but i just wanted to update the story.
Naruto walked into the library and started looking around for Eria. "Not in the back? That's where she usually hangs out." He sighed and walked back out. "Guess I'll have to wait until morning to talk to her."
"Out of my way!" Hiita shouted as she ran for the gate. She had pushed a group of kids that where walking too slow for her to the ground.
"You could have gone around!" One of them yelled back as he picked himself up.
"That's Hiita right?" Naruto said to himself and ran after her. "Hey Hiita! Wait up! I need to ask you something!" He yelled.
Hiita stopped running and turned around. "Oh Naruto what's up?" She asked when he caught up to her.
"Do you know where Eria is?" Naruto said. "I need to talk to her about something important. She wasn't at the library and i don't know any of the places she hangs out."
She probably is at that ice cream shop...I got an idea. She smiled to herself. "No I don't. I would call her but she hardly ever answers her phone. Come over to our house for a while and wait for her there." She walked forward and Naruto followed.
"Thanks." Naruto said. I really have no idea what I'm going to say to her. This will give me some time though.
Hinata peeked outside her window.
"He's gone now." She fell back on her bed and felt her face heat up. "How can he tell me that he loves me?" She went on her side. "He doesn't even know me." She faced at the mirror on her closet door. "I'm really red." She looked away and sat up. "He told me he loves me before Naruto did...he does love me right? We've gone out on a few dates and we love spending time with each other. It shouldn't even need to be said."
She let out a sigh and sat up. "I just need to get all of this out of my head and pretend like he never said it."
"Never said what?" Midori asked as she came into the room and put a new clean towel on Hinata's bed.
"Nothing Midori." Hinata said and walked out the door. "It's nothing that you would be interested in." It would be really nice to hear Naruto say that he loves me...She blushed at the thought and smiled. I want him to tell me first.
Eria dropped her bag on the couch of her living room and went to the kitchen. "Idiot! What was I thinking telling Naruto I love him?" She beat herself up as she poured a glass of water for herself. As she chugged it down Hiita walked in.
"There you are." She said as she got a cookie out of the jar. "You know that Naruto was looking for you after school right?"
Eria face blushed like mad. "W-Why?"
"I don't know. He wanted to talk to you...did something happen?" Hiita snickered and nudged her sister in the ribs.
"N-N-No!" She turned away.
"Come on just tell me. I'm bound to find out sooner or later anyways."
Eria sighed and sat at the table. "I....I told Naruto that I loved him before school today. I don't know what came over me. I just let him know how I felt and everything. I don't want to face him for a while now."
Hiita tried to hold her laughter in. "Is that all....heh....just go up to your room and try to forget all about it." She let out a short laugh and got it under control.
Eria looked at her weirdly and nodded. She walked to her room and opened the door.
"Oh! You're finally here." Naruto smiled. He was sitting on her bed flipping through the television channels. "I need to talk to you.
Eria's face turned red once again and she fainted falling forward.
Luckily Naruto caught her before she hit the floor. "Got'cha....Eria? Oh man she out." Naruto put her on her bed and walked out the room.
"Something wrong?" Hiita asked when she saw Naruto leave Eria's room.
"She passed out..." Naruto said and scratched the back of his head.
Hiita burst out laughing and dropped the cookies she had in her hand.
Naruto raised his eyebrow in confusion.
"Sorry...sorry." Hiita said as she calmed down. "It was just too funny. Let's go wake her up." She stepped into Eria's room and snapped her finger in front of Eria's face. "Wakey wake." She shook her violently. "Wake up! Naruto's here and you go and pass out?"
Eria opened her eyes. "W-What?" She mumbled.
"You weren't gone long. Come on!" She said as her shakes grew more and more violent.
Eria was fully awake and looked at her sister "Ok I'm up." She looked behind her and standing in the doorway was Naruto smiling at her. Eria felt her face turn red.
"I forgot to tell he was here." Hiita chuckled pointing behind her.
"Why is he here?" Eria looked away from him and whispered to Hiita.
"I don't know I'll just leave you two alone."
"Wait!" Eria hissed at Hiita, but she had already left the room.
Naruto stepped in and sat beside Eria on the bed. "We can talk right?"
Eria nodded but did not make eye contact with him.
"Well...what you told me this morning...."
"It was stupid I know." Eria spat the words out. She was beating herself up.
"N-No...it wasn't...it just caught me off guard." Naruto said so not to make her feel bad.
"Really?" Eria said still looking down at the floor.
"Yeah....ummm..you know that I don't feel the same way. But..." Naruto was searching for the right words so as to not make her feel worse. "but that doesn't mean that we can't be friends. Hinata is not allowed out of her house at all now except for school. We could hang out and go out to places. Who knows I might end up falling for you." He laughed as he said that last part.
"Really?" Eria turned and looked at Naruto in the eyes.
"It might. You never know." He blushed. She's a little too close.
"C-Can we go out on Thursday?"
"Sure." Naruto got up and began walking out. "OK bye Eria. I have to get going."
"B-Bye." She waved and smiled.
Naruto got out of the house and walked home. It wasn't until he was almost at his house did he realize what he had said. Who knows? I might end up falling for you. "Idiot!" He stomped on the ground. "I was trying not to hurt her feelings, instead I gave her false hope."
"What are you talking about Naruto?" A voice said from behind him.
Naruto spun around and saw Hanabi and Konohamaru together.
"Gave false hope to who?" Hanabi asked.
What are they doing here? I can't say a word to either of them. Hanabi will tell Hinata and I don't want her to get hurt or anything. "Nothing. I was just uh.. wait what are you two doing together? Out on a date?" Naruto asked trying to change the subject.
Both of them blushed and looked away from each other.
"Gotta go home...my dad might get mad." Hanabi said and ran away.
"Me too." Konohamaru said and did the same.
"Phew...I got myself out of that one." Naruto said as he continued home.
(Later that night)
Hinata was under her covers she had been reading a book for a while now. Hinata yawned and glanced over at the digital clock next to her bed. "11:30? I must have lost track of time." She placed a bookmark on the page and set it aside. She reached over to the lamp and was about to turn it off but she heard a tapping at the window.
"What was that?" Hinata said as she walked over to see what was happening outside. She opened the window and looked down. Her eyes widened when she saw who was down there.
"Hinata!" Hayato whisper shouted. "I'm coming up."
What's he doing here? She felt her heart begin to race. She was about to close the window but Hayato stopped it with his hands. How did he get here so fast?
"Sorry to be here late...I just had to see your face once more." He made a smile so perfect that Hinata blushed and smiled back. About time the spell worked. It's never taken this long.
"G-Get out! If anyone hears you my dad is going to be furious!"
"OK. OK I'll just make this quick." He said.
Hinata stopped trying and looked at him.
Hayato bent over and kissed Hinata on the lips.
Hinata although caught off guard quickly pushed him off. "Get out!"
"See you tomorrow." He jumped out with a smile on his face.
Hinata shut the window and closed the curtains. She was breathing heavily and her face as red as it had ever been.
He....He kissed me! How do I feel...What do I say. She slapped herself. "I'm supposed to feel mad right now right?" A smiled crept across her face for a second but it quickly turn to a frown. "How am I supposed to feel? I love Naruto, but I think that I'm starting to like Hayato too." She groaned and jumped on her bed. I wish I knew what to do.
Again sorry for the wait. Hope you enjoyed it.
