Thank you for the reviews and feedbacks.
That is not Mumei Mu but his friend, I'm updating in his place.
I'm alive! And…Well, please see profile for details. It's very important.
Before you all rush off to read the latest chapters/stories, there are important thing you all need to know. I highly recommend everyone to read one to three chapters a day, depending on your time and/or whatever reason you have. I don't want anyone to read everything in one sit…And I know some of you guys will attempt to do that, please don't. I mean it.
Some questions won't be answered to avoid the spoilers and if I miss some questions, sorry!
Most characters might be OOC and there might be some grammar errors but I'm trying my best.
Enjoy the latest chapter of INHFTHLUG!

It's Not Their Fault For Getting Closer
Tomoko have been shifting her weight around behind the lightpole nervously for who know how long as she keep glance at a ramen stand over and over. She want to go inside and order some delicious ramen but she's too nervous for many reasons and she don't want to embarrass herself again in front of this ikemen…
"Oh, is that you, Tomoko-chan?" Naruto's face suddenly came into her view, causing her to yelp out from startle.
"N-N-N-Na…!" Tomoko stuttered crazily with waving hands.
"Sorry for scaring you." The blonde rub his head with a chuckle, "I noticed that you have been lurking around for a while."
'H-H-He saw me?!' The gloomy girl panicked, when did he saw her and how long have he been watching her? Is he planning to do something to her like am…
"…And I realize how you are so I decide to help you out." Naruto grinned as Tomoko snap out from her thought and she blink rapidly since she just missed almost everything he said.
"Huh?" She uttered, "W-W-W-What are you talking…"
"You want to buy some ramen but there's too many people in there, right?" He jabbed his thumb to the bar as people enjoy their foods and she nod mutely. "Let's go order some takeout and find some quiet place to eat together."
'E-E-Eat together?!' Tomoko blushed heavily with alarmed expression, 'Ohmykami,ohmykami! Is that a plot where he use a excuse to bring me to a quiet place so he can have his way with me then say that I now belong to him? My heart is not ready for that! Wait, what should I do first? Do I use my hand then…' Her brain went to gutter so deep that she didn't notice that Naruto was leading her to a park by hand while carrying the takeout, neither that they sit down on a bench near a large tree for shade.
"Here." Naruto placed a ramen bowl on her laps, snapping her out from her dirty thoughts then dig into his bowls.
"O-Oh, thank you…" The gloomy girl meekly digs into her bowl with an embarrassing blush and they eat in silence for a bit.
"How's school?" He asked and she froze at the question.
"…Humiliating." She muttered lowly.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Naruto looked at her with concern.
"…I-I overheard s-s-some g-girls in my class talking about…" Tomoko sniffled with quiet voice, "Boy's d-d-dick and I become curious b-because I don't know what it look like…" She don't know why she was opening up to him so easy but he was listening to her quietly, "S-S-So I decide to look it up on…A internet on one of these new handheld computer, you know?"
"Yeah, a new technology that show up few months ago, right?" He hummed thoughtfully, it's pretty scary how fast a technology develop in a short time since the nations have come together in time of peace.
"Yes." She nodded, "I-I-I looked it up to s-see what it look like…A-A-And at that time, I-I don't notice my teacher coming up from behind and he startle me that I drop it…On floor…Where everyone can see and t-t-they saw…" She wiped her eyes with forearm, "N-N-Now s-s-some girls are calling me d-d-d-dick girl…"
"They made fun of you for just being curious?" Naruto frowned lightly, "Hypocrites, you said that other girls were talking about cocks and yet they do that to you."
"…You don't think I'm a pervert?" Tomoko sneaked a glance at him with her head down.
"Nah, why should I think that?" He waved it off, "To me, you're just a curious girl and there's nothing wrong about that. If you're a pervert, then I and everyone in this world are perverts too." He slurped some noodles up, "I mean, I don't know what a woman's body look like so I look it up in a porno magazine when I was around ten." That almost make the gloomy girl choke on her ramen before he look up with tilted head, "…Now I'm thinking about it, why does this owner have his porno books unwrapped and out in front where everyone can grab it at this time?" He suddenly turn his head to her, "Do you think I'm a pervert for looking a nude woman up to see the difference between genders?"
"N-No." Tomoko shook her head.
"There, then we're not perverts." Naruto grinned as she nodded her head meekly before they resume their eating in silence for some time. "You know…If you want to, you can talk to me anytime about your problems or just anything…Um, you can hang out with me, even if you don't have a reason to." He scratched his head nervously, he honestly don't know how to tell a crush that he want to hang out with her but he'll try to get a chance to see her next time.
"O-O-Okay, I-I-I will." The gloomy girl nodded bashfully and they have a one-sided conversation, mostly on Naruto's part, until they finish their foods and say their goodbye as they leave to their own homes.
It have been a few days after she hang out with Naruto, Tomoko was going out on a little walk while thinking about buying a ice cream. When she look around at her surrounding, she notice the back of Naruto walking with a group of boys ahead of her and she brush her bang over her face as she was about to go other way until she remember their last conversation. Tomoko don't know where she get some courage from but she call out to him, "H-H-Hey, Naruto." Her voice wasn't loud, neither soft enough to reach the said blonde's ears and he turn to see her.
"Hey, Tomoko!" Naruto jogged over to her as his friends stop to watch with some puzzling expressions since they never seen her before. "Out on errand or something?"
"K-Kinda, I'm taking a little walk and may buy a ice cream on the way back…" She fidgeted with her bang shyly.
"Want me to accompany you?" He asked.
"J-Just you, um, but what about your friends?" Tomoko glanced at Naruto's friends, "Aren't you going somewhere with them?"
"It's fine, they won't mind if I ditch them." Naruto waved it off, "It's just a boring event that I don't want to go to." He turned to holler to his friends, "Guys, I'll take rain check on this bar crawl so please go on ahead!"
"H-Hey, wait, but we need you as our wingman!" A feral-looking shinobi with red markings on his cheeks cried out, "You're the chick ma…"
"Byeeeeeeeee, guys, have fun!" The blonde quickly get away from his friends while dragging Tomoko with him until they get a great good distance from the group and he release her as they slow down. "Sorry about that."
"I-It's okay…" Tomoko inhale and exhale few times before she gaze up to him, "Bar? Do you drink?" It's a common knowledge that shinobi and kunoichi can do any legal-age stuffs once they become genin, no matter what their age is at.
"Rarely, and when I do, I can't even get buzzed after many drinks." Naruto chuckled lightly, "So it's always boring when I went out with my friends for drinks."
"Oh, I see…" The gloomy girl muttered and they walk together quietly until she speak up again. "Um, Naruto…I-Is it okay if I a-a-ask you to t-t-tell me a little more about yourself?"
"Sure, if you can tell me about yourself too." He grinned, "I want to know you better than anyone else." The gloomy girl nodded shyly and they tell each other a bit more about themselves, which end up taking the whole day.
And that end the second chapter of INHFTHLUG!
Naruto and Tomoko have get close and it seems like the unpopular girl have take a small bold step forward and getting a little comfortable around him.
