Authoress' Note:

Chapter One: Electric Blue Eyes

It had been two days since Sakura had seen Hinata and Naruto in the Ichiraku together.As he tried to fall asleep in the dark room, Naruto played the event over in his head a million times.The event of what had happened earlier that day.

~*~FLASHBACK:

"Naruto, I heard from that big-mouthed Ino that you're dating my team-mate, Hyuga Hinata. That isn't true, it it?" Kiba looked kind of angry and serious to Naruto. More so than usual, anyway.

"No! Of course not! Ino-pig is a liar, that's all!" Naruto yelled. Kiba backed off as Naruto sprayed saliva as he ranted.

"Geez, I was just asking!" Kiba said, walking away with his shoulders hunched. Kiba had the feeling that although it may not have been a date, Naruto may have had feelings for Hinata, too. Kiba already knew that Hinata had a deep respect for Naruto, and maybe a crush on the boy. KIba just hoped that Naruto didn't like the young girl back. (A/N:Oh yea by the way they are like 16 okay?)

~*~:END FLASHBACK

'Kiba sure was acting weird. Oh well, I guess he always acts like that. I need some sleep.' the sunshine-haired boy thought to himself as he drifted off into a dream of ramen...

~*~The next day-- Team 7's Meeting Place

Team 7 was there in their usual states-- Sakura was oogling over Sasuke and Sasuke is ignoring her (A/N: the cold-hearted....ahem!). Naruto was just acting strangely, though.... he was just staring into the sky for some reason.

"Oi, Naruto!" Sakura stopped pestering Sasuke enough to shout out to the boy.

"Huh? What is it, Sakura-chan?" he asked, adverting his gaze at the clear sky to Sakura's pretty, pale face.

"Well, I was just wondering why you're so... different this morning. I mean, Naruto, since when are you EVER quiet! And thoughtful, at that?!" Sakura's pity face looked kind of creepy as she yelled more and more.

"Hmph! Why should I even talk to YOU, Sakura?! You're the one who got me into this mess!" Naruto turned around angrily.

"What mess?" Sakura wondered aloud.

"I'll tell ya what mess! The mess with me and Hinata! You know how shy she is; now she probably won't even come talk to me because she doesn't want even more gossip about us spreading!!!!!"Naruto shouted out to the pastel-haired girl, as the fact of Naruto and Hinata never being a couple dawned on her.

"What? So you two WEREN'T a couple?!" Sakura was totally shocked. She knew that from the first day at the academy that Hinata like Naruto... she just never told anyone.... only Ino.Big mistake.Ino was the LAST person she should have told.

"I-I'm so sorry, Naruto!" Sakura apologized. "I'm sorry, guys, but I have to go do soemthing! Kakashi won't be back for maybe hours anyway!" Sakura glanced back as she dashed off into the forest. She had to find Hinata! She didn't want this to get out of hand... and she needed Hinata to prove to Ino just what was really going on, because Sakura knew that Ino wouldn't just belive Sakura only because she asked ehr to! She needed PROOF!

End Chapter One.

A/N:Well i hope you all enjoyed chapter one! Short, I know, but I'm still ill with the infamous, deadly, writers' block! UWAH! But I hope to be out of bed soon. And when I'm fully recovered, the chapters will be crankin' out like, um, things that crank out of something.... anyway, the chapters will be longer and better after my writer's block. Ja ne, d'chinkos!
