Chapter 4

Four months later (Fast Forward No Jutsu!)

It had been four months and Naruto still hadn't worked up the courage to pop the question to Hinata. He had really been beating around the bush about it. But Naruto had convinced himself that today was the day. He had too. Today was her birthday. He needed to make it special so he had arranged for a quad date with Sasuke and Sakura, Ino and Shikamaru, and Lee and Tenten. The eight of them were going to have one big night out. Naruto had already arranged for everything to be perfect.

Naruto was already heading over to the Hyuga house to pick her up. Naruto knocked on the door and began fumbling with the box in his pocket. Hanabi answered the door. "Oh it's you" Hanabi said "Hinata isn't quite ready yet but if you would wait in the living room for a moment she'll be right with you"

"Do you always have to sound like a telemarketer when you're talking to me?" Naruto said "It's not like I've done anything to you"

"Yeah you did" Hanabi said "You stole my big sister"

"I didn't steal her" Naruto said "She's still living with you what more can you ask for you two spend the majority of the day together"

"She deserves better" Hanabi said

"You know what" Naruto said "You're absolutely right" and with that Naruto sat down on the couch and waited for Hinata.

Up in the Room

Hinata was desperately trying to be ready on time. She had spent the majority of the day finding out what she should wear. Her father was disappointed they would not spend her birthday with the family as they had in previous years but he understood. He didn't feel too bad trusting Naruto completely. He knew his daughter was in good hands.

Hinata finished combing her hair and making sure everything was perfect. Over the past few months Hinata let her black hair grow out longer. It was now grown past her shoulders. She set the brush down and walked over to the stairs. Hinata took a deep breath and began to walk down the stairs. Hinata was shocked to see Naruto actually dressed up. He was wearing a white collared shirt and khaki pants.

Naruto smiled when he saw Hinata looking stunning as usual. She was wearing a white kimono with blue lining and a red sash wrapped around her waist. Hinata walked down the steps and gave Naruto a quick peck o the cheek. "Missed you" Hinata said. Then Hinata called into the kitchen "I'm leaving now I'll be back before eleven"

Naruto offered his arm and she wrapped her own with his and they headed out the door. "Happy birthday Hinata" Naruto said after they had walked about a block away and wrapped his arms around her waist holding her close. She looked up at him and he kissed her on the forehead.

"Thanks" Hinata said "So where are we going anyways?" They continued walking.

"That is a surprise" Naruto said "Were also meeting up with some others"

"Oh I was hoping it would be just the two of us" Hinata said "But I guess it won't be that bad"

"I have to share such a rare beauty with others" Naruto said. Hinata blushed a deep crimson at this comment. "It's not like I am saying anything that isn't already known throughout the village. Ah were here"

Hinata looked to see the most expensive restaurant in town. "Naruto" Hinata said shocked "How can you afford this?"

"Don't worry about that" Naruto said "Jounin's get paid a hell of a lot better than Chuunin's"

"Speaking of which, when is the exam?" Hinata said as they walked in

"Only another month" Naruto said "No big deal I'll be ready"

They both walked into the place there was a man behind one of those fancy podium/desks. "Name" The man said.

"Uzamaki table for eight" Naruto said

"Ah yes your other guests are already waiting for you" The man said "Let me show you to your table." the man led them to the table where everyone else was waiting.

"About time you showed up dobe" Sasuke said leaning back in his chair with both hands behind his head.

"Hey patience is a virtue Sasuke lighten up" Naruto said "Have you guys ordered anything?"

"Just lee has ordered for a bottle of Sake" Tenten said "I hope he doesn't get too drunk and ruin the restaurant"

"Hey it won't be that bad" Lee said.

"Just try to keep everything intact remember I'm paying" Naruto said everyone broke into laughter "What's so dang funny?"

"You pay Hahahanaha" Shikamaru said laughing "That's the funniest thing I ever heard" suddenly everyone stopped laughing "Oh you're serious? Rock on, I am in the mood for some lobster"

Naruto groaned and sat down with Hinata next to him. As long as she was happy money didn't matter. The night wore on and the eight continued their conversations until ten. By that time lee was very drunk indeed. He could barely talk right let alone walk. Tenten smiled and took him by the hand. "Come on Lee lets get you home" Tenten said leading him out of the restaurant "Thanks for the meal Naruto we'll see you all later"

Tenten and Lee walked out of the restaurant and Lee suddenly stood p straight. "Well it's about time" Lee said "I couldn't wait to get out of there"

"L-lee what the hell? You're not drunk?" Tenten said confused

"Huh no that stuff wasn't even sake" Lee said "I switched my beverages with Naruto"

"Don't you think he should know that?" Tenten said

"What for?" Lee said "It's not like he's doing anything important tonight"

"Yeah good point" Tenten said "But why did you want to leave?"

"So I could spend the rest of the night alone with the most beautiful person I know" Lee said "Why else"

"Oh and who would that be?" Tenten asked

"Mrs. February on my calendar" Lee said and Tenten smacked him hard in the head giving him an anime band aid. "Ow hey ask a stupid question get a stupid answer"

"Okay you want to try that again" Tenten said

"I think you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen" Lee said "And I wouldn't trade one moment with you for anything else in the world"

"Oh Lee" Tenten said "Do you mean it?"

"Of course I mean it" Lee said "Why wouldn't I" and with that Lee and Tenten continued to walk around the village.

Back at the resturant

Naruto finished and paid the bill for the food. The six remaining all left and decided to go for a walk as well. Naruto continued fumbling with the ring box in his pocket wondering when the right time would be. He was feeling a bit woozy. He didn't know why. It was Lee who drank the four glasses of Sake. He was feeling very dizzy. "Hey Dunce" Sasuke said "Have a little too much to drink?"

"What are you talkin' about" Naruto said trying to think straight

"Lee switched his drinks with your all night tonight" Sasuke said "I half expected you to notice it eventually"

"How can you tell?" Naruto asked "And why didn't you tell me?"

"Sharigan" Sasuke said "I saw him do everything. And I didn't tell you because he wanted some alone time with Tenten"

"####! Sasuke you jerk" Naruto said "I think I am gonna puke" Sakura took this moment to smack Sasuke a good one across the back of the head. Hinata took Naruto by the arm and they went into the woods.

"Naruto don't worry about it we'll get you home" Hinata said

"NO!" Naruto shouted "I mean hold on a second as long as were here and were alone there's something I have to ask you"

"Naruto you should really get home your drunk" Hinata said "we can talk tomorrow"

"I'm fine Hinata" Naruto said and reached into his pocket to pull out his Box "I have to ask you something"

"Naruto it can wait" Hinata said "your not well"

Naruto shook his head and got on one knee. "Hinata will you…" Naruto said opening the box revealing a small ring with a small diamond (Considering his income can you blame him? Kuwabara: Shut up this is the climax) "…Marry me?"

Hinata's heart stopped. Everything stopped it seemed as if time stood still. 'did he just propose to me?' Hinata thought 'this is like a fairy tale. Wait he's drunk could he just be saying this because he cant think straight? Wait he already had the ring. He must be serious'.

"Naruto…" Hinata said and Naruto looked into her eyes "…no"
