Chapter 4: The real first date! AND FIRST KISS!
In a dark cave somewhere outside Suna, three Chuunins lie asleep in the ground. Their wrists wrapped around by a steel chain. A tall dark haired man sits by their side, guarding them and preventing any escape. One of the Chuunins opens his drowsy eyes and observes where they are. He turns his head and sees a man whose eyes are fixed upon a small hole in the ceiling that provides them little light inside the cave. The man then looks at him; the chuunin's eyes then adapt to the darkness of the cave and he was able to see the man's features. The man has dark eyebrows and brown eyes. His nose and mouth was covered with a black facemask. He was wearing a black suit and black sandals. A black band of cloth is wrapped around his forehead and a sword tied in his back.
"W-who are you?" the tired chuunin asks the stranger sitting beside him. The stranger glared at him.
"You do not need to know my name..." the stranger replied with a cold tone in his voice. The man stands up and kneels down in front of the chuunin. He grabs a very little bottle from his pouch and places it in front of the chuunin. He removes the bottles cap. The bottle then released a scent of some kind. The chuunin's eyes then get heavy again and he starts to fall asleep again.
"That'll keep you asleep for a while..." he stands up and covers the bottle and places it back inside his pouch. "Tsk... what a lousy mission..." he then walks back and sits down to his old sitting spot. From time to time, he would sigh and mutter how lousy this mission is. "Sooner or later... they're gonna escape..." he thought. He closes his eyes and attempts to sleep for a while. He then senses another person walking. He alerts himself and grabs a kunai from his kunai holster.
"Then I'll see you tonight..." Naruto said after he kissed Hinata on the cheek. He then left the apartment building. Hinata closed her door and thought what kind of date she would have with Naruto tonight; a usual kind of date or a formal one? Naruto walk in the street and he stopped walking suddenly. "Oh... I forgot to tell, Hinata something..." He said and then he made his way through the streets towards Hinata's apartment. He knocked in her door.
"Hina..." he said as the door opened but Hinata wasn't the one that opened it. "Oh... Sakura-chan..."
"Naruto... what are you doing here?" Sakura asked
"I'm wanted to talk to Hinata... is this her apartment... I might have made a mistake..." he then pouted.
"This is her apartment..." Sakura replied
"Then what are you doing here?" Naruto asked
"I just moved here a while ago since Hinata is soooo lonely here..." she said
Naruto peek inside their apartment and saw a couple of boxes piled inside. "Sakura... who are you talking to?" Hinata shouted from inside the apartment.
"Hinata-chan!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Hinata-CHAN?" Sakura asked with a big grin in her face. Hinata then approached the door.
"Naruto-kun... what are you doing here?" Hinata asked
"I forgot to tell you something..." Naruto said
"...About what?" Sakura asked
"Sakura-chan... it's none of your business..." Naruto pouted again. Hinata was a little irritated about Naruto still calling her roommate Sakura-chan. "Can I talk to you in private Hinata-chan?" ha asked Hinata. Hinata nodded and stepped outside of her apartment. Sakura closed the door to provide them the privacy they wanted.
"What is it then, Naruto-kun?" Hinata looked down on the ground.
Naruto cupped his right hand in Hinata's chin and raised her head. She blushed.
"Look into my eyes..." Naruto whispered. Hinata blushed more; her heart was beating in a fast pace, making her breath heavily. "Relax..." Naruto then removed his hand from Hinata's cheek. "I just wanted to tell you that I want to have a formal date with you..." Naruto said and kissed her on the cheek again. "See you tonight at 7..." he then left again. "I'll save THAT for later..." Naruto thought as he walked away. Naruto then arrived at his office and he started doing his paperwork. He finished it by 5 pm and left the office. He then stopped by the Yamanaka Flower shop. He saw Shikamaru and Ino there watching the shop together.
"Naruto... what a surprise..." Shikamaru said
Naruto then approached the cashier. "Ino... would you kindly arrange flowers for me... make it VERY beautiful..." Naruto said.
"Don't tell me you're going after Sakura again..." Ino said as she handed pictures of different flower arrangement to choose from to Naruto.
"No... my mind is over her now..." Naruto said as he picked the picture. "Here..." he then said
"That's an expensive one, Naruto. It must be for someone very special. Who might it be?" She then started to fill out an order form.
"I'm sure Sakura can tell you..." Naruto then gave her the payment. "I'll pick it up a couple of minutes before seven..." he added
"Don't worry..." Ino said. Naruto then left the shop. He went straight home to his new apartment which is a lot better than his old one. It is much bigger and more comfortable. He looked at the clock and saw it was just a couple of minutes before six o'clock. He rested for a while and he took a bath. After taking a bath, he opened his closet and found a very clean white polo shirt and a black coat and black slacks. He searched for leather shoes and found good ones. He recalled that he bought all these clothes just last month. Sakura bought it for him just for her twentieth birthday. Naruto thanked Sakura, because of her he will look very handsome tonight... just for her. Naruto didn't actually wear it on Sakura's twentieth birthday because he didn't attend; he was very busy on that day. After putting on his clothes, He looked at the mirror to see how he looked; he wasn't wearing his forehead protector. Well he looked... quite handsome. He diverted his attention to the clock and saw it was already 6:45. He put on his coat and left his apartment. As he walked on the street, young women's eyes were glued to him. He felt quite insecure about it. He then arrived at the flower shop and Ino and Shikamaru looked at him with very big eyes.
"N-Naruto... is that you?" Ino asked.
"Yeah..." he then pouted "Ne, Shikamaru... do I look silly in this?" he asked the astounded Shikamaru.
"Do you look silly?" Shikamaru then laughed.
"I guess I do..." Naruto pouted again.
"No, you don't look silly, Naruto..." Shikamaru grinned at him. "Actually... I envy you a little bit..." Ino then presented Naruto the flowers he ordered.
"Here you go, Naruto-sama..." Ino then gave him the bouquet.
"Thank you, Ino..." He then left with the bouquet of flowers. After going to the flower shop, Naruto made a reservation in the new restaurant and luckily was able to reserve a good seat. Hinata spent her time helping Sakura with her things. After some hours, she looked at the clock and saw it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. She rested in the couch with Sakura.
"Ne Hinata..." Sakura said.
"Hmmm?"
"Are you going out with Naruto tonight?" she asked her new room mate.
"Uhhh... y-yeah..." Hinata then frowned.
"Why are you sad? I thought you like him..." Sakura said with a worried tone.
"No it's not that..." Hinata replied
"Then... what is it?" Sakura asked
"I really don't have any good clothes to wear... and Naruto might be disappointed..." she frowned again
"So... are you going to a formal date with him?" Hinata nodded
"Then..." Sakura then stood up and lead Hinata to her room. She opened her closet and pulled out a beautiful dress. "I'll let you borrow this... it's just new..." Sakura gave it to Hinata.
"But Sakura..." Hinata said. Sakura smiled at her.
"You might as well prepare for tonight..." she looked at her wristwatch. "See... it's already passed 5 o'clock in the afternoon." Hinata nodded and went straight to the bathroom after putting the dress in her room. The tall figure walked in the cave. The assassin tightened his grip on his kunai and prepared for his attack at the stranger. The stranger continued to walk in the cave. The assassin readied himself but...
"Relax..." a cold voice said; it was from the stranger.
The assassin returned his kunai and relaxed. "What are you doing here, old man?" the assassin said
"I just wanted to visit you..." the stranger replied
"Heh... stop joking around old man. You're not that kind of person..." the assassin said
"You're right..."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to tell you something..."
"What?"
"I'm gonna use her for this mission..." the stranger replied
"What?" the assassin exclaimed. Then the light disappeared in the cave. Night has already fallen. The cave was now very silent.
"I know that this mission is very silly. To think of it... if they wake up, they'll escape as soon as possible. I am going to take them and then..." After cleaning herself, Hinata went straight to her room and put on Sakura's dress. She looked at herself in the mirror. She blushed as she stared at her reflection. She asked herself what Naruto would think about her when he sees her tonight. Hinata then looked at her clock and it was already fifteen minutes before seven. She then walked out of her room carrying her small shoulder bag with her. She then sat in the couch in her apartment's living room. She watched the wall clock there as it ticked. Five minutes before seven she then saw Sakura wearing a dress too. Sakura approached her.
"Hinata! You look very beautiful in that dress!" Sakura exclaimed and then sat with Hinata in the couch.
"Y-you think so?" Hinata asked Sakura while she blushed.
"I don't lie about those things..." Sakura then smiled at Hinata
"Sakura, why are you wearing a dress?" Hinata asked
"Oh... don't worry! I'm not going to be a fun spoiler in your date. I have a date with Sasuke too." She smiled again and gave Hinata a reassuring wink. Hinata then smiled at her. They both sat there at the couch, waiting for their dates. Hinata was still watching her clock, only a few seconds to go and it's seven. She counted down...5, 4, 3, 2... then somebody knocked at their door. Hinata froze up; she didn't know what to do after opening the door.
"I'll get the door..." Sakura then sat up and opened the door. Sakura saw Naruto standing in front of her carrying a very beautiful bouquet of flowers. Naruto blushed when Sakura grinned at him.
"Is that for me?" Sakura evilly grinned at Naruto.
Naruto glared at her and then sighed. "No... it's not for you... Is Hina-"
"Yeah she's here... waiting for you..." she grinned at Naruto again. "Come in Naruto-sama!" Naruto then came in and entered their living room. He then saw Hinata there sitting at the couch, looking down on the ground and nervously waited there for her date. Naruto then approached her. He tapped her at her shoulder and then he smiled. Sakura watched silently but decided to give them privacy so she left. Hinata then stood up.
"N-Naruto-kun..." she then smiled at Naruto.
Naruto smiled back. "You..." he then ran his moved his eyes up and down once. "You look very beautiful..." he then smiled again. "Really, I'm not lying... you really look beautiful in that white dress." Naruto then gave her the flowers.
"T-thank you, Naruto-kun, you didn't have to bother giving me an expensive bouquet of flowers." Hinata then observed the flowers.
"I hope you like it..." Naruto said
"Yes... it's very beautiful..." Hinata said
"You're more beautiful..." Naruto said at her. Hinata blushed.
"J-just wait here, N-Naruto-kun... I'm just going to place it inside my room..." Hinata then left the room and after a while she came back. Naruto then offered her his right arm. Hinata then wrapped her left arm around it.
"Then... let's go..." They then left the apartment. On their way out the building, they saw Sasuke.
"Naruto and Hinata?" Sasuke thought
"Oh... Hi Sasuke!" Naruto then grinned at him. Hinata just smiled. While they walked in the street, People smiled at them. Other woman looked at Hinata with jealousy. Hinata didn't care because this is her happiest moment. She smiled because she thought that Naruto really did care for her because he would do all these things for her. They then stopped by a newly opened Japanese restaurant.
"This is the newly opened restaurant..." she muttered. "...And a very expensive one..." she then thought. Naruto and Hinata then walked in. The usher then asked Naruto if they have a reservation. Naruto nodded and said his name. The usher smiled because he knew Naruto is the Hokage. Naruto left his coat. He smiled at Hinata too. The usher the whispered something at Naruto which made him smile and blush. The usher then led them to their table. Naruto ordered their special ramen and Hinata ordered beef teriyaki. Hinata then smiled at Naruto.
"You ordered Ramen?" she asked
Naruto grinned at her "I want to try if their Ramen is good..." he whispered at Hinata. Hinata smiled again. After that they became very silent, they were both thinking about what to talk about. Naruto then broke the silence.
"Hinata-chan... how is Ne-"he then saw Hinata's sad look on her face. "Oh... forget about that... why are you sad?" Naruto asked
Sakura-chan... It still echoed in her head, and still irritates her. "Hinata- chan?" she then heard.
"Oh..."
"Is something bothering you? Do I look silly?" Naruto then pouted.
"No... Naruto-kun... you don't look silly in that dress... in fact... you look v- very h-handsome..." she then blushed. "But, Naruto-kun... can I ask you something?"
"Sure!" Naruto exclaimed
"You won't get mad?" Hinata asked as she scribbled little circles in the table with her finger.
"I won't get mad..." Naruto said. Hinata paused for a while.
"Do you still like Sakura?" Hinata asked. Naruto smiled at her and placed his hand over Hinata's hand.
"No... I don't like her anymore..." Naruto smiled again. "It was just a crush... and..."
"...And?" Hinata thought. Hinata then smiled again and put some more pressure over Hinata's hand.
"I have someone else in mind now... and I also think that I like her very much..." Naruto smiled again. Sasuke then knocked at Sakura's new apartment door. Sakura opened it with her purse already ready.
"Sakura-chan... I just saw Naruto and Hinata... where are they going?" Sasuke asked his date.
Sakura then stepped out of the door and closed it. She then grinned at Sasuke.
"They're going on a date, Sasuke-kun..." she grinned at Sasuke again.
"Why do I get the feeling that we're going to follow them?" Sasuke said and then sighed.
"Because we are going to follow them..." Sakura then grabbed his arm and pulled him. They then went out of the building and then walked in a fast pace to catch up with Naruto. When they caught up with them they maintained a safe distance away. Then they saw the two stop by a newly opened restaurant. Sakura then nudged Sasuke's side.
"Did you make a reservation there Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked him
"Yeah... That's the restaurant I was talking about..." Sasuke replied. Sakura then kissed Sasuke in the cheek.
"Then let's go!" Sakura then pulled him again. They entered the restaurant a few minutes after Naruto and Hinata entered the restaurant. The usher then led them to their table. Sakura grinned evilly because they have a very good scenery; Naruto and Hinata. After they ordered, Sakura watched all the movements of the two. Sasuke just sat there observing his date. Sakura could see Naruto and Hinata's smiles and blushes; she didn't even notice that their food is ready. Sasuke sighed and then tapped his date on her shoulder.
"Sakura-chan..." he sighed again. Sakura then looked at him. "Are you forgetting about our date?" Sasuke asked
Sakura smiled "Sorry... Sasuke-kun" when she looked at where Hinata and Naruto's table, she saw that they already left. Naruto then walked Hinata home. When they arrived at the door Naruto smiled at her and gave her a quick kiss in the cheek and then walked away. Hinata opened her door and started to walk in, and then she suddenly remembered something. She grabbed Naruto's coat and pulled it softly to catch his attention. Naruto looked at her. Naruto then approached her closer.
"What's the problem, Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked. "I forgot to ask you one thing..." Hinata then let go of his coat.
"Nani?" Naruto asked
"What did the usher tell you?" Hinata asked. Naruto approached her closer again and kissed her passionately. Hinata almost lost her balance but found out that Naruto stopped her from falling because his arms were wrapped in her hips. They kissed there for a minute, begging for time to stop. Naruto then broke the kiss off. He smiled at her.
"He told me, that I'm very lucky..." Naruto then walked in the door and closed it. He grabbed Hinata's hand and pulled her. .Naruto led her to the couch. Naruto kissed her again; they both fell in the couch. Naruto broke off the kiss and stared at Hinata. Hinata blushed.
"N-Naruto-kun..." she blushed again as she noticed where this is gonna go. Naruto smiled at her.
"Hinata-chan... I... love you..." Naruto kissed her again this time more passionately. She then wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck. She ran her fingers through his blonde hair as Naruto kissed her. When Naruto broke off the kiss he would whisper the words 'I love you' at Hinata's ear many times before he kissed her again. Hinata didn't complain she loved Naruto; she had nothing to worry about. "Bye Sasuke-kun..." Sakura kissed Sasuke before she entered their door. Sasuke waved goodbye at her and then left. Sakura then wondered if Hinata is home now. When she opened the door, she saw Hinata's key for their apartment lying in the ground. She picked it up.
"She's home now... I better give it to her..." she then went straight to the living room. The living room of their apartment is a closed room. The apartment is very big for only a person. Since she found out that Hinata was living here all alone, she decided to move in and help Hinata with her love life as a friend.
She then opened the door and closed her eyes. "Hina-"she was cut off when she saw the two kissing in the couch "...you forgot your key..." she then dropped it on the ground and quickly left the living room. Naruto and Hinata stopped kissing and sat a few inches away from one another, they were blushing.
"H-Hinata... I'm very sorry that I interrupted the both of you..." Sakura said at the other side of the door.
"N-no... it's alright, Sakura..." Hinata nervously replied.
"I'm really sorry..." Sakura then stopped leaning on the door and went away. "H-Hinata-chan..." Naruto nervously said.
"N-Naruto-kun..." she said with a trembling voice.
The both of them were too embarrassed to speak. They didn't speak any word at all.
Naruto then stood up. "I-I better go..." he then closed his half unbuttoned polo shirt. Hinata quickly grabbed his wrist,
"Don't go..." Hinata said.
In a dark cave somewhere outside Suna, three Chuunins lie asleep in the ground. Their wrists wrapped around by a steel chain. A tall dark haired man sits by their side, guarding them and preventing any escape. One of the Chuunins opens his drowsy eyes and observes where they are.

"W-who are you?" the tired chuunin asks the stranger sitting beside him. The stranger glared at him.
"You do not need to know my name..." the stranger replied with a cold tone in his voice. The man stands up and kneels down in front of the chuunin. He grabs a very little bottle from his pouch and places it in front of the chuunin. He removes the bottles cap. The bottle then released a scent of some kind. The chuunin's eyes then get heavy again and he starts to fall asleep again.
"That'll keep you asleep for a while..." he stands up and covers the bottle and places it back inside his pouch. "Tsk... what a lousy mission..." he then walks back and sits down to his old sitting spot. From time to time, he would sigh and mutter how lousy this mission is. "Sooner or later... they're gonna escape..." he thought. He closes his eyes and attempts to sleep for a while. He then senses another person walking. He alerts himself and grabs a kunai from his kunai holster.

"Oh... don't worry! I'm not going to be a fun spoiler in your date. I have a date with Sasuke too." She smiled again and gave Hinata a reassuring wink. Hinata then smiled at her. They both sat there at the couch, waiting for their dates. Hinata was still watching her clock, only a few seconds to go and it's seven. She counted down...5, 4, 3, 2... then somebody knocked at their door. Hinata froze up; she didn't know what to do after opening the door.
"I'll get the door..." Sakura then sat up and opened the door. Sakura saw Naruto standing in front of her carrying a very beautiful bouquet of flowers. Naruto blushed when Sakura grinned at him.
"Is that for me?" Sakura evilly grinned at Naruto.
Naruto glared at her and then sighed. "No... it's not for you... Is Hina-"
"Yeah she's here... waiting for you..." she grinned at Naruto again. "Come in Naruto-sama!" Naruto then came in and entered their living room. He then saw Hinata there sitting at the couch, looking down on the ground and nervously waited there for her date. Naruto then approached her. He tapped her at her shoulder and then he smiled.

"N-Naruto-kun..." she then smiled at Naruto.
Naruto smiled back. "You..." he then ran his moved his eyes up and down once. "You look very beautiful..." he then smiled again. "Really, I'm not lying... you really look beautiful in that white dress." Naruto then gave her the flowers.

"I hope you like it..." Naruto said
"Yes... it's very beautiful..." Hinata said
"You're more beautiful..." Naruto said at her. Hinata blushed.
"J-just wait here, N-Naruto-kun... I'm just going to place it inside my room..." Hinata then left the room and after a while she came back. Naruto then offered her his right arm. Hinata then wrapped her left arm around it.

Sakura-chan... It still echoed in her head, and still irritates her. "Hinata- chan?" she then heard.
"Oh..."
"Is something bothering you? Do I look silly?" Naruto then pouted.
"No... Naruto-kun... you don't look silly in that dress... in fact... you look v- very h-handsome..." she then blushed. "But, Naruto-kun... can I ask you something?"
"Sure!" Naruto exclaimed
"You won't get mad?" Hinata asked as she scribbled little circles in the table with her finger.
"I won't get mad..." Naruto said. Hinata paused for a while.
"Do you still like Sakura?" Hinata asked. Naruto smiled at her and placed his hand over Hinata's hand.

"Sakura-chan... I just saw Naruto and Hinata... where are they going?" Sasuke asked his date.
Sakura then stepped out of the door and closed it. She then grinned at Sasuke.
"They're going on a date, Sasuke-kun..." she grinned at Sasuke again.
"Why do I get the feeling that we're going to follow them?" Sasuke said and then sighed.
"Because we are going to follow them..." Sakura then grabbed his arm and pulled him. They then went out of the building and then walked in a fast pace to catch up with Naruto. When they caught up with them they maintained a safe distance away. Then they saw the two stop by a newly opened restaurant. Sakura then nudged Sasuke's side.
"Did you make a reservation there Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked him
"Yeah... That's the restaurant I was talking about..." Sasuke replied. Sakura then kissed Sasuke in the cheek.
"Then let's go!" Sakura then pulled him again. They entered the restaurant a few minutes after Naruto and Hinata entered the restaurant. The usher then led them to their table. Sakura grinned evilly because they have a very good scenery; Naruto and Hinata. After they ordered, Sakura watched all the movements of the two. Sasuke just sat there observing his date. Sakura could see Naruto and Hinata's smiles and blushes; she didn't even notice that their food is ready. Sasuke sighed and then tapped his date on her shoulder.
"Sakura-chan..." he sighed again. Sakura then looked at him. "Are you forgetting about our date?" Sasuke asked
Sakura smiled "Sorry... Sasuke-kun" when she looked at where Hinata and Naruto's table, she saw that they already left. Naruto then walked Hinata home. When they arrived at the door Naruto smiled at her and gave her a quick kiss in the cheek and then walked away. Hinata opened her door and started to walk in, and then she suddenly remembered something. She grabbed Naruto's coat and pulled it softly to catch his attention. Naruto looked at her. Naruto then approached her closer.
"What's the problem, Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked. "I forgot to ask you one thing..." Hinata then let go of his coat.
"Nani?" Naruto asked
"What did the usher tell you?" Hinata asked. Naruto approached her closer again and kissed her passionately. Hinata almost lost her balance but found out that Naruto stopped her from falling because his arms were wrapped in her hips. They kissed there for a minute, begging for time to stop. Naruto then broke the kiss off. He smiled at her.
"He told me, that I'm very lucky..." Naruto then walked in the door and closed it. He grabbed Hinata's hand and pulled her. .Naruto led her to the couch. Naruto kissed her again; they both fell in the couch. Naruto broke off the kiss and stared at Hinata. Hinata blushed.
"N-Naruto-kun..." she blushed again as she noticed where this is gonna go. Naruto smiled at her.
"Hinata-chan... I... love you..." Naruto kissed her again this time more passionately. She then wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck. She ran her fingers through his blonde hair as Naruto kissed her. When Naruto broke off the kiss he would whisper the words 'I love you' at Hinata's ear many times before he kissed her again. Hinata didn't complain she loved Naruto; she had nothing to worry about. "Bye Sasuke-kun..." Sakura kissed Sasuke before she entered their door. Sasuke waved goodbye at her and then left. Sakura then wondered if Hinata is home now. When she opened the door, she saw Hinata's key for their apartment lying in the ground. She picked it up.
"She's home now... I better give it to her..." she then went straight to the living room. The living room of their apartment is a closed room. The apartment is very big for only a person. Since she found out that Hinata was living here all alone, she decided to move in and help Hinata with her love life as a friend.
She then opened the door and closed her eyes. "Hina-"she was cut off when she saw the two kissing in the couch "...you forgot your key..." she then dropped it on the ground and quickly left the living room. Naruto and Hinata stopped kissing and sat a few inches away from one another, they were blushing.
"H-Hinata... I'm very sorry that I interrupted the both of you..." Sakura said at the other side of the door.
"N-no... it's alright, Sakura..." Hinata nervously replied.
"I'm really sorry..." Sakura then stopped leaning on the door and went away. "H-Hinata-chan..." Naruto nervously said.
"N-Naruto-kun..." she said with a trembling voice.
The both of them were too embarrassed to speak. They didn't speak any word at all.
Naruto then stood up. "I-I better go..." he then closed his half unbuttoned polo shirt. Hinata quickly grabbed his wrist,
"Don't go..." Hinata said.
