The sound of the crows came for morning has arrived. Hinata had woken up early. When she did she noticed that she was in Naruto's bed along with Miharu and Nia who were right next to her, she looked around for Naruto and realized that he was sleeping on the floor, restlessly. She giggled. She got of the bed to look at him closer. When she did, she realized something.

"You should be... sleeping in your own bed..." She told him. But Hinata remember something similar to this before, "I remember seeing his sleeping face before." She lifted her hand, slowly about to touch his face, but she held back.

"It so beautiful. Really beautiful. Time stops, and can't take my eyes off him." She stared at his face. "No… It'll take me prisoner. I mustn't look." She looked at his body, the place where she once was last night. "The arms that held me are empty now." She shook her head, trying to control herself.

"No, but I can't... stop." She moved in closer to Naruto's face. "Naruto-sempai... If you touch me. I won't be able to refuse you." Her heart was beating so fast. "Naruto-sempai." She tried to hold own but it was no use. ""No... I can't resist... Naruto-sempai."

Unexpectedly she kissed Naruto all by herself. He was like a drug that was so addicting. As she finally ending the quick kiss she was in trouble. Naruto's eyes had opened. Naruto covered his mouth in shock. Hinata didn't know what to say. She didn't know what she just did. For she was tempted by a part of her missing memory and open the door all by herself.

"Hinata...?" Naruto asked. "Just now... Did you... Kiss me?"

Hinata covered her mouth and was speechless. Unfortunately her face was red as a tomato. Naruto grabbed her and flipped her over on the floor. His was on top of her.

"Naruto-sempai!"

"You kissed me! Hinata, you...kissed me..!"

He bent down, starting to kiss her neck. Hinata was in terror. "Naruto-sempai!" She did not know what to do. She couldn't break free of his body.

"Wait...mm..." Then she shouted out something that she never should had said.

"I used you as practice... I mistook you... for Saburo."

Naruto finally stopped. "Mistook me?"

"You looked so much like him, sleeping like that, I still love Saburo. So I began to think you were actually like Saburo. So I... Couldn't help it!"

With that said, Naruto's heart was broken. His eyes became black with sadness and anger, Hinata never seen his eyes like that before. He finally got off her and moved away.

"So you used me as practice and mistaken me for you dear love who almost rape you and killed you, Saburo. That's...one thing I never wanted to hear from you."

They didn't sad a thing after that.

"Uh oh. You two had a fight?"

Sakura and Mamo were with Hinata. Sakura called Hinata and invited them on a hike in the mountains. Miharu didn't wake up so Nia decided to watch over him, but Naruto and Hinata went instead. Naruto was still worried about Miharu but went anyway. He just hoped that he would be fine when he return.

Mamo was on vacation in his village and came back to Konoha a few days later to spend some time with Hinata once more. Mamo was carrying Hinata's pet fish, Asaka that he decided to take care of while Hinata was living with Kurenai. Hinata noticed that he really had a connection with Asaka and wonder what it was.

Sasuke came along, wearing a red jacket with a black shirt underneath along with his baggy pants.

When he saw her, he gave her a big hug and told her not to worry about what he said at the contest. Hinata understood that and return his hug to thank him for being such a good friend to her. Naruto and Sakura didn't see this for they were up ahead of them but Mamo did. He smiled and admires their friendship.

But Hinata and Naruto still haven't clear up their fight yet. Hinata couldn't tell them the truth about what happen, but told an little side of it.

"If was all so sudden, it surprised me. So I ended up saying something hurtful and painful to him." Hinata remember her words to Naruto and wonder why she even said that in the first place. She hurt Naruto so much that she felt horrible.

"It's all my fault. If I had told him right then and there to stop... He would had understood." Mamo looked at her with sad eyes as he was holding the bowl that had Asaka inside. She looked sad as well.

Hinata was n a dress that Tsunade had given her for their Middle birthday. Come to think of it, Hinata's real birthday is coming up in a few days. Her plans were to hopefully spend it with Saburo but that was gone and ruined. What was she going to do? She hoped that it would snow soon for they rarely lived in snow.

"Really?" Sakura said. "If he done that to me I wouldn't have stop. I would continued going."

Naruto and Sasuke blushed at what Sakura had just said. Even Hinata blush as well. Mamo was confused and didn't understand what Sakura meant by that.

"Could you guys talk about things like that in secret or away from me, please?"

Naruto and Sasuke continued ahead. Sakura winked at Hinata and gave her some advice.

"It's okay, Hinata. When you can't explain something... Just telling someone or saying so helps you to. You know what I mean? This involves you two... So you'll have to talk about it together, ok?"

Hinata looked down at Mamo and her little sister Hanabi. She also was able to tag along as well. Her father refused at first but Hinabi persuade him somehow. She wouldn't tell her secrets. But she also missed her sister and wanted to spend some time with her since she was in training for so long. She also didn't understand what they were talking about, but hopefully she could cheer her sister on somehow.

"Hinata knew they were both worried about her. She hugged them, to ensure her that she would be ok.

"Together?" Hinata said within her thoughts.

After a long hike, the whole gang decided to take a break and have lunch. Hanabi and Mamo played together while Sasuke and Sakura had their lunch near by. Hinata and Hanabi made the lunch this time. They didn't have Sakura help, for she was terrible at cooking and would kill anyone if she tried. Hinata ensured that she would teach her sometime though.

"Well, Sasuke-kun? Do you think there going to be alright?" Sakura asked,

"I think they will be just fine." Sasuke said.

"But anyway which do you want? A rice ball or a sandwich?" Sasuke picked the sandwich.

"How do you feel about all this?"

"Huh?" Sasuke asked.

"About Naruto's feelings towards Hinata?"

Sakura looked down at her rice ball with a sad smile.

"I'd cause him so much pain. I didn't know what to do with myself. I wanted to change him and hopefully realize that his feelings of love weren't for me...But for they were for Hinata. I love them both and I want them to be together," A tear cane from her eyes. "But I was so happy when he chose me. I finally beat Hinata though I'd wanted her happiness. I can't imagine what it must have felt like for Hinata being rejected by the one she loved to much that she would even give up her own life for him. But as we were dating, it didn't feel like we were in love. I could tell that Naruto was in love with Hinata though that moron didn't realize it himself. But I truly did... I truly did lo-!"

Her voice was cut short by his lips. So sweet and sour. Their tongues danced off the surface of the ocean. Sakura's passion was on fire. She didn't move an inch.

As their lips parted, Sasuke whisper sweet words in her ear. "I know how you feel, Sakura."

Sakura's eyes were wide as she heard his words. Sasuke showed her a gentle face that she never seen before. His arms were opened, welcoming her into them. Sakura quickly went in them and grab his back, with all her might, crying her eyes out.

"Where did everyone disappear to? Hinata said in her thoughts. "This is really awkward."

She was sitting next to Naruto, wondering what to do. She tried to be casual about it.

"Na-Naruto-sempai. Which one do you want to eat? A rice ball or a sandwich?"

"I'm not hungry." He replied coldly.

Silence was in the air. Hinata tried a different approach.

"Doesn't it look nice today?"

"Whatever." He said.

Hinata did not know to do. She knew that Naruto was still angry. She couldn't blame.

"I'm sorry. Naruto-sempai... If I told you the truth, I afraid I might hurt you even more."

"I'll go find Hanabi and Mamo-chan." She said getting up. Naruto did say a word but remembered when she was eating her food; he was tempted, looking at her lips. He couldn't stand this.

Luckily, Hinata found Hanabi and Mamo pretty fast. There were not to far. They seem to be having fun for they were near a cliff, playing tag. Mamo found a little pond where Asaka could swim. But he had to be careful on what kind of water it was for Asaka could de. Asaka seemed to be fine.

Hinata thought it would be ok to watch them play for a little bit, to take her mind off of things. She sat near the little pond were Asaka was swimming in. She seems to be having fun.

"What should I do, Asaka? I want to learn about my past that I supposedly share with Naruto-sempai. I want to get all my memories back until now. I didn't think I knew Naruto-sempai. I just thought that he was a boy that I just met recently. But now things are different. I know him better now that I seen his actions. His light of trust. I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm going crazy."

Suddenly, Hinata felt a soft, wet kiss on her cheek. It was for Asaka. Hinata gazed at the little purple fish with her beautiful scales. She looked like she was pumped up for something. She put her fin into a fist like so, putting it on her stomach and back towards Hinata.

Hinata touched her cheek. "Asaka-chan..."

Then, she heard something that she didn't expect to hear.

"Do your best!" said the little fish.

Those words made her laugh a little.

"Hahaha, your right." She looked at Asaka and returns her a little kiss.

"Thank you. I needed that."

She turns to see Hanabi and Mamo still playing tag.

"Be careful you two." she said, feeling a little worried about them.

"I almost got you, Mamoe!" Hanabi said chasing him around the cliff.

Then, a rock started to crumble from underneath her. She started to fall.

"Hanabi!" Hinata shouted.

Hinata ran after her for she was her little sister and pushed her back onto to the cliff as she fell down beneath the mountain.

"NOOOOOO!"

Everyone, including some other people came and found them.

"What's wrong, Hanabi. Where's Hinata?" Naruto shouted.

"Nee-sama! Nee-sama!" Hanabi was crying, covering her face. Mamo was right beside her.
"She fell down the cliff...When she stopped my fall!"

Naruto's eyes went wide in shock.

"Nee-sama! It's all my fault! My fault!"

"Stop crying!" Naruto shouted at Hinata's little sister.

She obeyed.

"Hanabi, I need you to lead all these people back to the lodging and wait there. Sasuke and the other will get people who are familiar with this mountain!"

"What about you, Naruto?" Sakura asked, being a little worried. "I'll go look for Hinata. I'll meet you at the bottom." Naruto said, climbing down the rocks slowly.

"She is my friend! I can't leave her down there alone!"

Sakura was amazed. "Naruto..."

Rain was coming down fast. The day turned into night. With no Hinata to be found yet.

"Naruto-sempai, I'm sorry." Hinata was still alive seeming to breathing on to life.

"I never knew...How hard it was... to be loved. My waverily heart was unable to fully accept you feelings for me... and I've done nothing but hurt you...But...I..."

Suddenly, Hinata heard a voice, calling her name.

"Hinata! Hinata!"

Hinata slowly opened her eyes. She realizes that she was lying below the mountains. But what she opened her eyes to was more fascinating.

"...Naruto-sempai..."

Naruto was right in from of her eyes.

"Can you sit up?" He asked. "You fell quite a long way, you know. Does your head hurt?"

"That's right?" Hinata said in her mind, waking up from her fall. "I'd tried to save Hanabi...But I fell instead."

"I'm glad you're awake." Naruto said. "It's started to rain...Let's move under a tree."

Naruto gently picked up Hinata, scooping her in his arms. Hinata was in a daze.

"Naruto-sempai..."

Luckily a tree was no so hard to find. Still carrying her, he moved under the tree.

"You were so angry but you still came... to help me." Hinata said with her mind.

"Help is on the way..."Naruto said with a gentle smile."So don't worry."

Hinata then, remember Sakura's advice. "When you can't explain something. Just saying so can help you."

Then Naruto held her tighter.

"I'm sorry about this morning. I shouldn't have gotten so mad... about that." Hinata's eyes were in shock as she was hearing this. "But I love you, Hinata. I just couldn't let that pass... To think that after what Saburo has done to you... and you still care about him."

Hearing this made Hinata's eyes water. Naruto noticed that and wonder if she was in pain.

"Hinata?"

"...It...It wasn't like that." Hinata cover her eyes with her gentle hands. "I sad I mistook you for Saburo... But that was a lie..."

Naruto smiled, hearing that. "I understand. You were in a daze just now but you still know who I was."

Hinata wonder why was he so kind. There was one thing that was certain for her, and that was that she couldn't hold on to her feelings anymore. Naruto gently touch her cheek with one of his hands still smiling at her. He moved in close to her face wanting to look at it, for her eyes was still filled with tears.

"Hinata... Why... did you kiss me?" He asked gently.

Hinata eyes open to say what she needed to say. Her eyes were so beautiful in the night as she got the words out finally.

"Because I love you...Naruto-sempai."
