Chapter: Hinata in BIG trouble!!!

'Darn, why are those girls so nosy anyway?' He thought as he walked in the street. His feet were taking him home. 'And to think that I told them about my plan… Oh God please don't let them tell Hinata about it…' He then entered a building and he walked up the stairs. He approached a door. It was Hinata's apartment. No, it was their apartment. The both of them have been living under the same roof since the 'party incident' happened. Hinata comforted Naruto during that night. It really proved that it IS her. That Hinata is the one… the one he'd share his life with, in sadness or happiness, he knew they would always be together. He then took out a key and he drove it in the key hole of the knob. After unlocking the door he entered it and he walked in. He closed the door and locked it up. He looked around the apartment and he saw no trace of Hinata. 'She's not home?' he asked. He then smiled a little bit. 'Oh yeah… she's a full time medic-nin now. At least that'll give me time to think of my speech…' he thought. He then entered his room.

A black haired man wearing a black suit entered the small east gate of Konoha. His eyes were cold and his face was very emotionless. He then saw a man guarding the gate. He took a few steps and approached the gate but the guard gestured for him to stop. He stopped in front of the guard still with an emotionless face.

"What is your business here in Konoha?" the Chuunin guard asked him. He glared at the guard and he hit the guard's head. The guard was hit hard and he fell to the ground unconscious.

"It's none of your business" the man looked down on the unconscious guard. He then looked back on the road ahead of him and he entered the gates. He had a mission. He didn't care if he'd accomplish it or fail in finishing it. He walked in the streets thinking of a way to get to his target without attracting much attention. If he would attract the attention of the leaf-nins, it will be very bad. Leaf-nins were very skilled, and not only that, he doesn't have a companion to help him in battling the leaf-nins if it would happen. And he couldn't avoid the fact that some of them have already seen his face. He had to think fast. He then entered an inn and he checked in. He got a room that was pretty simple; a bedroom and a bathroom, it's that simple. He then entered the bathroom and he looked at himself in the mirror. 'Takamura Ichiro, it's now or never…' he thought. He then opened the faucet of the sink and he washed his face. He then went back to the bedroom and he sat in the bed. He untied his kunai holster and he counted how many kunais he had. He had four kunais. He then removed his pouch from his back and he counted his shuriken and some supplies. He had some shurikens, some medicines and some exploding notes. He cursed himself for not preparing before he left for his mission. 'Well, I can't turn back now…' he thought. He then cupped his chin and he slouched at his bed. He gave out a little smirk when an idea of how to get to his target alone popped out of his mind. He knew his target and his plan will hopefully work out. He then took out two little bottles from his pouch. He looked at it with sad eyes. 'This is the last of Mizuki-chan's sleeping scents…' he then frowned. He put it back to his pouch. He then stood up and he stretched his body. There is no time to rest after all. If someone will see the unconscious guard at the gates Konoha will surely increase security. He strapped back his kunai holster at his legs and his pouch at his back. He then placed a face mask over his face and he opened the window. He jumped down from it. He landed on a silent little street where there were no people. Good thing his room was at the back of the inn. No one would catch him sneaking out of it. He decided not to use the door because if someone would be looking for him, the owner of the inn could tell them that he was inside. He would be able to divert a little attention away from him if that happened. He then jumped up at one of the nearby house's roof and he gazed at the site below him.

Hinata went to the medic-nins locker room. She got change into her jacket and her black pants. She then smiled when she closed her locker. 'At last my shift is over… I can see him again…' she thought. She then grabbed a small bag and he gently twisted the doorknob. Chills went down her spine when she felt someone beside her. She was alone at the locker room. Sweat ran down her face. It wasn't Naruto; he wouldn't enter a woman's locker room after all. She was very afraid; she felt an evil intent approaching her. She tried to push the door but her body didn't move at all, she was like a statue holding on to a doorknob. She closed her eyes praying that Naruto or someone would come here at her side and protect her from whatever is behind her. Her heart beat faster and faster when she felt the evil intent approaching her nearer. She then started to smell something and she felt very drowsy. Her knees weakened and she fell to the ground. She then lied down. She really feels like sleeping. She then looked at the figure standing. It was the same man that was with that woman a year ago.

"What do…you want?' She asked. The figure looked down at her.

"Naruto's death…" the man said. Hinata was shocked but it didn't stop her from falling asleep. She tried to be awake but after a minute she was already sleeping with a worried look on her face. The man picked her up and she placed her up at his shoulders.

"Naruto-kun…" She muttered.

Naruto looked at the diamond ring that was placed in a small box that he is currently holding. He smiled while he gazed at it. 'I know she would say yes… if she doesn't I'll kill myself! This costs almost a lot and I couldn't bear the thought of her not wanting our marriage… I know she loves me.' He smiled again. He then shut the box closed and he placed it on a drawer that has a lock on it. He locked the drawer and he placed the key on his pocket. 'Ok Uzumaki Naruto, you should think about your approach and how you'll ask her!!!' he thought and then he nodded. He then faced a mirror in his room. A flash a silver thing at the side of his right eye caught his attention. It hit the mirror and the mirror was broken. He clenched his fists. 'Who would do this?' Naruto asked himself. He then saw that it was a kunai with a note sticking out of it, A piece of a cloth of someone he knew was wrapped around it too. He pulled the kunai out from the mirror and he read the note. He gasped. He dropped the kunai on the ground and he rushed out of his room.
