Sadly, as much as I wish, I never have and never will own Naruto.
Chapter 2
The next day seemed to drag on slowly. It was only noon and by then, Team 7 hadn't even gotten around to doing a mission. Sakura actually thought it'd be nice to have them around her constantly, but that thought was soon killed. She had only wanted to spend time alone with Sasuke, and each time she'd try, Naruto or Kakashi would jump in and start annoying her. So, finally, she gave up and suggested they all go to Ichiraku's to eat. Naruto was over joyed.
So, they all sat there, eating their miso ramen. Naruto and Sasuke sat on either side of Sakura, and when she'd try to start up a conversation, Naruto would always chime in and start being... well, Naruto.
"Hey, Sasuke!"
"Hm?"
Naruto scooped up a bunch of noodles into his mouth and quickly chewed and swallowed it. He grinned and then released a huge burp followed by his usual laugh.
"Baka!" Sakura screamed and pounded him on the head.
"Ow! I was only trying to have some fun." He complained as he rubbed his head. While Sakura continued to bitch and scream at him, his eyes caught a figure in another part of Ichiraku's. A small smile crossed his face as he stared at the shy, silver-eyed girl.
Hinata felt as if someone were watching her and she turned her head to see Naruto staring at her. She gasped as a light blush crossed her cheeks. //Naruto-kun is staring at me...!// She looked down and then brought her eyes back over to him. Naruto waved at her, and she couldn't help but to wave back.
"Hey." Kiba's familiar voice spoke up.
"Eh?" Hinata said as she turned her attention away from Naruto and to him. "Kiba-kun?"
"You like Naruto, right?"
Her blush only increased and she looked down, not being able to hide her smile. Kiba sighed. Secretly, inside, he had wished that he could have Hinata gazing at him like that. But, he truly wanted her to be happy. So, he stood up and grabbed her by the arm, causing Hinata to gasp.
"Ki-Kiba-kun!?"
"Come on, Hinata!" He walked toward Naruto and his group, ignoring Hinata's pleas for him to stop.
Naruto looked to Kiba dragging Hinata. //Oh, shit, have I done something to piss this beast off?!//
//Hinata... I only want you to be happy. And this is the only way... I've seen Naruto staring at you when you think he's not. He -may- have a slight crush on Sakura... but, I know he has deeper feelings for you and uses her as an excuse to hide them...// Kiba then dropped Hinata infront of Naruto and walked back to his table.
"Hey, Hinata!" Naruto grinned and jumped down out of his chair to stand infront of her.
"H-Hi... Naruto-kun..." She said with her normal blush.
"You know. You're kinda cute when you're blushing like that..." Naruto said, a light blush coming across his face as well. This only caused Hinata's face to turn even more red.
Sakura and Sasuke both blinked. They were amazed that Naruto actually took the time to acknowledge Hinata's existance. Normally, the shy girl would always be the one staring and secretly wishing that he'd talk to her.
"Wow... think those two like each other?" Sakura said to Sasuke.
"Aa." Came the reply. //Wow. Her hair sure as gotten long...// He thought to himself as he stared at the back of Sakura's head. It was perfect. Straight, fixed, no split ends, shiny... and it smelled just like cherry blossoms. //Heh... how fitting.// He thought. Slowly, he started to move his hand upward, running his fingertips along the strands of her hair slowly. He smiled at how soft it felt.
Sakura gasped softly as she felt Sasuke touching her hair. //He's actually touching my hair...! Sasuke-kun...// She smiled and closed her eyes, enjoying him doing this to her.
Kakashi just looked up at his students from his book. He saw Naruto ask Hinata to go on a walk with him and watched as Sasuke got even more brave and began to move his hand even more against Sakura's soft hair. //Kids.// He thought with a smile behind his mask.

Hours passed and night had fallen over Konoha. Naruto and Hinata were in the woods by a secluded lake they found, sitting on a log beside each other and staring up at the night sky. They had talked about everything. They mainly talked about the pranks he did back at the academy and how much of a goofball he was. Hinata told him what all she saw in her missions, and he told her the story of Zabuza and Haku.
"Wow... he died to protect the man who made him a tool?"
"Yeah... it was sad, but Zabuza really seemed to care for Haku. It was sad to watch them die."
"They had a strong love... and maybe, their souls will be reincarnated and they can live as lovers." Hinata said with a small blush across her face. A moment of silence passed over them.
"Hinata." Naruto spoke softly.
She turned her attention to the boy. His eyes were closed and he had a very faint blush across his cheeks. His hands were also gripping tightly onto his pants. She stared down at his hands and then back up at him, blinking her silver eyes. Naruto opened his eyes and looked at her, using one of his hands to cup her right cheek, causing the girl to gasp in surprise. His other hand held onto her hand, both of them trembling some.
"I... I'm so sorry for pushing you aside, Hinata. I knew how much you cared for me, and how badly you wished I'd even look at you. Sakura... I did like her, some. But she's in love with Sasuke... and I know that he denies it, but deep down he cares for her as well. And then... I realized deep down, I cared for you, too. And I'm sorry that I didn't see it sooner."
Hinata felt tears rising up into her eyes. All her life--ever since she'd laid eyes on him, all she ever wanted from him was a moment like this. She could only smile brightly and lean closer to him, her lips shyly touching his.
Naruto froze for a moment and his face turned blood red. Hinata was actually kissing him! For a moment he didn't know what to do and he pressed his lips back against hers. His hand that was on her cheek dropped down to her shoulder to slowly wrap around her, his other hand soon following. The kiss started out innocently enough, but the moment Hinata wrapped her arms around him, things changed. Naruto's hands were massaging her back and sides, and Hinata's hands were rubbing around his chest slowly. Their tongues danced in each other's mouths. Naruto slowly broke the kiss and pulled his head away, wrapping his arms around the girl to hold her to his chest, both of them turning the attention to the moon's reflection in the lake.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The figure watched the new couple from a safe distance. He knew that Naruto couldn't sense his chakra, but the girl could so he lowered it to where it was as if he weren't even there. He had followed them from Ichiraku's to this place, slowly watching and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. He had hoped that the girl would be alone by now, but since the boy was still with her, he had no choice but to take him on as well. He smirked and slowly began to make his way to the two.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke turned and tossed in his bed. He was having a nightmare--another nightmare. His breathing was harsh and deep and sweat covered his body. Suddenly, something inside his mind screamed "wake up, idiot!" and he gasped as he sat up in bed. His breathing was harsh and his hands gripped onto the sheet. //No, not again...// He thought as he grabbed onto his head. After calming his breathing down, he replayed what had happened in the dream. He had seen Hinata and Naruto sitting on the log, seen them kissing... and then... a figure behind them? //It's only a dream, Sasuke... nothing to it. But still. Why do I have this feeling...? I better go check on the two or else I won't sleep tonight.// He sighed and pushed the covers off of his body and got dressed, making his way out of his apartment and to where Hinata and Naruto were.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cliffhanger, cliffhanger, cliffhangerrrrrr! .; Hahaha. Ahem. Can Sasuke make it to Hinata and Naruto? And what did he mean by "Not again?" I guess you'll just have to wait until the next chapter!
