This fic is dedicated to…me I guess, as no one else seems to write about the most awesome of pairings that this world will ever see… Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuuga Hinata. There will a lemon or two and a whole bucket of limes later on...but that is later, no?
It also might get a little OOC at times, but that can't be helped. The setting is right after Naruto becomes a Genin, and the teams have not been announced yet... Everything's going to get a little OOC come to think of it.
There will also be other various pairings that I will include whenever I feel like it, but remember that this is NarutoxHinata, not any other pair, so that will be the only lemon…perverts.
All criticisms, flames, slaps on the back, free food, free money, and/or advice are welcome.
If you're still with me, then on with the show!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, nor would I want to…I just would like Hyuuga Hinata to be mine…as long as someone else didn't mind of course. coughs obviously at someone

Chapter One: If you give a Hyuuga an Uzumaki…
"Congratulations all of you who have graduated to Genin rank!" pronounced Iruka, giving an extra quick nod towards one of the few people in the room not really paying attention; who, in truth, was wondering what kind of ramen he should have for lunch, while appearing to everybody else that he was sleeping.
'I can have miso pork, or chicken, or beef, wait, I had that for breakfast…'
"I will now be announcing the three-man teams that this class will be broken into. Please keep in mind that the names were not picked randomly, they were selected based on each of your individual talents, and well as your aptitude at being shinobi. Here we go."
Interested now, the spiky haired blond picked up his head from the desk, opened his blue, blue eyes, nonchalantly wiped the drool puddle that had appeared somehow, and listened attentively for his cell to be called out.
'As long as I'm on the Team that has Sakura-Chan, pleeeease let me be with Sakura-Chan.' He silently prayed to the kami as, a few rows above him and a little to the right, a young girl with white eyes, a wallflower among wallflowers, was busy daydreaming about our little ramen loving Genin, and busily blushing a rather vivid crimson through her creamy skin.
'And then, after Naruto-kun takes me out on a romantic date, we'll…'
"Team Seven will consist of Uchicha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, and…" Iruka paused for a moment, seeming rather confused.
'I know that isn't the name I wrote there last night…it can't be…oh well, I have to stick by it in any case…'
'Crap! Why did I have to get stuck with that loser? All he ever does is pretend he's cooler than the rest of us. I guess it won't be as bad if Sakura-chan gets put in Team Seven as well.' thought Naruto before waiting, along with all of the girls in the class, including our daydreamer, for the next name to be called. Most of the boys at this point, including the normally lazy Nara Shikamaru, began actively moving away from the girls, just on the off chance that the girl in question didn't get put with Sasuke.
By this time, several minutes had passed, during which Iruka was busy trying to dispel the genjutsu, if any, on the paper, trying to find another copy of the paper, scowling at the list in hopes that it changed back to what he originally wrote, going back to the genjutsu dispelling, in hopes that it simply failed the first time, etc.
Eventually, Naruto got tired of waiting and took center stage as he stood up and slammed his hand down on the table to get Iruka's attention, and roared, "Who is it Iruka-sensei? Tell us the other name!" His exclamation even broke through the daydreamer's thoughts, and probably carried out through the halls as well.
"If you insist Naruto…the last member of Team Seven is Hyuuga Hinata."
At this the class got deathly silent, as every girl promptly turned toward Hinata, who no longer had her daydream to distract her, quickly quailed under the murderous gazes directed towards her. The guys were all rather glad that they had moved, as some of them even went so far as to draw kunai and shiruken and aim them at the blushing brunette.
Naruto was crestfallen at this statement of the third member, realizing that Hinata did not have the pink hair, nor the green eyes , nor the correct name to be who he really wanted on his team.
Hinata, on the other hand, wasn't at all surprised when she was announced as the third member of Team Seven. She had, of course, arranged for her name to be in Naruto's Team.
FLASHBACK-early that morning
Tak. Tak. Tak. Tak. Tak. The sound of zori in the asphalt was deafening to Hinata as she dashed down the silent streets of Konohagakure Village, silently arguing with herself.
'Why am I doing this? I should be asleep and hoping that Naruto will finally notice me tomorrow.'
'You're doing this so Naruto will notice you tomorrow; and the day after that, and after that as well.'
'But this is wrong.'
'Not if it's for him.'
'It's like cheating though.'
'So you wouldn't cheat for Naruto to be yours?'
'I'm not saying that!'
'But you just did…baka.'
'I do want him though, and I'll do anything for him.' At this thought, Hinata blushed fiercely and almost tripped over a small rock in the ground.
'What if he doesn't want you on his team? Then he'll be unhappy.'
'Quit it! If I'm not on his team, then he'll end up falling for someone who doesn't like him like I do.'
'Then move on Hyuuga-baka, and let him be and choose who he will.'
'I can't do that, he might not choose me and then I don't know what I'd do. Now quiet, I'm almost there.'
'There' happened to be Iruka-sensei's house, to alter the team lists so that she could be with Naruto-kun. It all started with a thought, but now it was an impulse that needed to be fulfilled. It seemed like the sort of thing that Naruto would do for someone he truly loved, so Hinata didn't have that much of a problem in doing it herself. 'After all,' she thought, 'I need Naruto about as much as Chouji wants food.'
When she neared Iruka-sensei's house, she stopped running, and began to act as she normally did; inconspicuous and non-threatening. Walking face down, and fingers playing the opposite fingers on her other hand, she seemed like someone simply walking down the road in deep thought, instead of a student looking to make a simple change to the Team dossier. With her eyes looking down, you couldn't even tell that her eyes were white, with a hint of pale lavender in them, automatically giving her away as a member of the prestigious Hyuuga clan. When she reached Iruka's walk, she activated her Byakuugan and looked around for any body that might be looking and, not seeing any one awake, deactivated it, and walked up the drive to Iruka's door and tried it. Naturally, the Jounin had locked it.
Thinking quickly, she figured that the entrance would have to be through a window, as it had been a rather hot and muggy evening, so Iruka would likely have opened a few windows, and simply made them appear to everybody else that they were closed. Emboldened by this figuring, she went around the small house checking every window, finally finding one in the kitchen. Placing some chakra on her hands and feet, she climbed up and through the window before lightly falling to her feet inside.
'Thank Kami that Father trained me a little in how to use chakra before deciding that I was more or less worthless as the Clan's heir.' This line of thought continued for a while, causing a few tears to crawl down her face and drip onto her hitai-ate hanging around her neck. After a few minutes of silent crying, she remembered where she was, and what she was doing. She then proceeded to go through the kitchen, attempting to find the listings. Failing in the kitchen, she then proceeded onto the living room, the bathroom (Which needed a cleaning in her opinion), and finally locating it on the table in his room. Hinata noted that Iruka slept with a stuffed Gama Bunta, and then picked up the papers and went out to his dining room where, for the next 2 hours, she attempted to mimic his handwriting, occasionally activating her Byakuugan to check if Iruka was still asleep. Finally getting a result close enough to Iruka's actual handwriting, she rewrote the entire list, even down to the random ink smudges, changing only her name and that of Haruno Sakura, who was actually supposed to be with Naruto and Sasuke.
Quietly replacing everything to where it was, she slipped back out the kitchen window and hurried back to the Main House's manor, slipped back into her nightclothes, retrieved her Naruto doll from its hiding place, and slept until it was time to wake up, three hours later.
FLASHBACK ENDS
Naruto was busy pacing around in the empty classroom, grumbling loud enough for most people to hear, even in the Hidden Grass Village. Iruka had announced the rest of the Teams, and their teachers had already come and gone again. Except Team Seven's.
"Gaaaah! When is he going to get here! I'm tired of this waiting…hmm…" He eyed the other two in the room, that bastard Sasuke and the strange girl, 'Hinata…was that her name?', still in her normal seat in the back of the room, and still blushing (she had gone back to daydreaming to pass the time). Nodding his head at the fact that neither of the two was paying much attention, Naruto slunk over to the classroom board and got an eraser and put more chalk dust on it by crushing one of the pieces of chalk that had fallen to the ground and had never gotten picked up by Iruka.
With his new 'Weapon of White Destruction', he devised a trap for their instructor, Hatake Kakashi was the name Iruka-sensai had given them, by simply setting it between the door jam and the door itself, hopped off of the chair he was using, and then moved it back to the desk and sat there, still grumbling about missing his lunch of ramen. Then the door opened and the eraser fell onto the person's head, dusting the leaf hitai-ate and his silver hair white, and causing their teacher to blink. Naruto, of course, thought that this was hilariously funny and pointed and laughed, which brought Hinata out of her mental musing to look at Naruto again before glancing at their instructor, who, admittedly was entertaining with his head a few shades too white, which caused her to giggle uncontrollably. Sasuke, well, Sasuke didn't really do anything except think that their teacher was useless.
"I'd have to say that on my first impression…that I hate all of you." the Jounin stated, getting again no reaction out of Sasuke, an unbelieving stare out of Naruto, and an end to Hinata's giggling. I have a mission for all of you already. Meet me at the platform near the Hokage mountain tomorrow at eleven sharp. I'll be waiting for you all. You can have the rest of the day off." And then Kakashi turned sharply and left, leaving a stunned Naruto and Co. behind.
"Well, that was fun, but I'll catch you all later." said Sasuke as he stood and calmly walked out of the room, leaving Naruto and Hinata behind.
Naruto put his hands behind his head and turned to Hinata, causing her heart to skip a few beats.
'He noticed me, he's looking at me, we're the only ones in here right now, and he's LOOKING AT ME!' Hinata blushed furiously and put a hand to her lips, covering them in a sign of coyness.
"Hey Hinata, I'm hungry, wanna go eat lunch?"
'He asked me to eat lunch with him! I'm so happy! Lunch! Joy! With Naruto-kun and just the two of us!' she thought, but what she said was, "S-sure Naruto-s-san. I'd l-like to go eat l-lunch w-with you." She got up, and still embarrassed, followed Naruto over to the Ramen shop, where he pulled aside the curtain for her and sat down and ordered for the both of them (Hinata didn't seem to mind much) a medium bowl of chicken ramen and a green tea.
While waiting for their orders, Naruto began talking to Hinata. "So, you're Hyuuga Hinata? I hadn't seen you around the classroom much. You must be pretty good at getting out of presentations in front of the class doing doppelgangers or transformations, huh?" To emphasize that point, he pointed at her with his chopsticks.
"K-kind of, I-I guess." Hinata was busy trying to hold down her embarrassment to answer with much more complicated sentences than that. She was curious, though, as to why he invited her out to lunch, and after much thought, during which Naruto continued talking about ramen, and being a Hokage, and what the mission was to be the next day. Finally, she got the courage to ask him. "N-naruto?"
"Hnn?" He was just about to continue on about the mission maybe being about the retrieval of the Hokage's pet cat, but he thought he had talked enough already.
"W-why did you a-ask me t-to ea-eat l-lunch with y-y-you?"
"Hmm…I don't know actually. Guess I wanted company to eat, and to get to know you better, seeing as how we'll be together for some time, going on missions together and what not, and I didn't really want to get to know Sasuke, know what I mean?" Naruto laughed at this last statement while Hinata's mind was busy roving through what he just said, totally ignoring some of the words that he said and sticking with a few of them.
"Ah." 'He wants to get to know me, being together, together…with Naruto-kun.'
Luckily for her, the ramen came before Naruto could ask what was making her blush. The ramen distracted him long enough for her to return more or less to normal, her skin becoming a creamy color again, although still a little flushed as she ate her ramen and watched Naruto inhale his. When he was finished, he started up talking again to her, this time telling her about him, omitting, of course, the fact that the Fox demon Kyuubi was sealed inside of him as well as well as the idea of everybody hating him. This was actually the first person besides Iruka-sensei who talked with him, although she seemed to stutter a bit, it was no matter. She was also the first female to eat with him. When she was finished, she excused herself from the shop, and Naruto followed for a ways. They needed to go home, as night was starting to fall. Turns out that she lived in the same direction that he did so when he got to his place, he wished her a good night, and went on inside.
Hinata stood outside for a while, watching him with her Byakuugan before making sure he couldn't see her well at all before turning around and actually going home, which was in completely opposite direction, happy for once, because she just spent most of the afternoon with her "Naruto-kun."
'Father might get upset that I was out so late but…he shouldn't do anything overly drastic I hope.'

Well, that's it for now…sorry it's so short. I'll make the next one longer. Promise.
Read and review. I'll answer all of the reviews that I get if I'm able to.
