Hinata took a minute to take in what he said. Because of her silence, Naruto repeated, "It wasn't fake."
"Wh-H-What are you talking about?" Hinata asked anxiously, putting down her cake.
"I already told you, it wasn't fake." Naruto placed his own desert down. "There's something that I didn't tell you." He paused and sighed. "I.... have this problem with.... with my heart. Whenever.... whenever I think about another girl or think about you with another guy, I have this sting of pain in my chest.... and all my other pains go away while my senses come flooding back to me."
"I don't get what you're saying...." Hinata shook her head.
"For example, when you fell asleep in my house, I wondered if it was possible for you to end up there if you were 'with' another guy. Just when I thought about that," Naruto's hand drifted across his chest and rested on his shoulder. "This pain simply disappeared and; like I said; all my senses; my hearing my sight, my feel, all became extremely acute."
"So that's why you're heart triggered off the pain when Ino got close to you with those 'intentions'." Hinata murmured.
"Yep. I'm sorry if I worried you earlier." Naruto combed his hair with his fingers and sighed. "So what secrets do you have to tell?"
"Secrets? I don't think I have any." Hinata twiddled her fingers in her usual behavior. "Although," she began with a new tone, "you may have realized, but Neji kind of likes you*. My father on the other hand-"
"Doesn't approve of anything I do." Naruto finished the sentence for her. "Right?"
"You hit the nail on the head.... except for the fact that I'm assuming it all."
Naruto craned his head up and saw a crowd around a small table talking incoherently. "Hinata-chan, looks like it's presents time."
Hinata stood with the help of Naruto's hand; even though she didn't need it; and wandered over to the small table.
Though most of the presents were money*, which was a necessity in the teen world, Hinata did receive a few other presents. From Tenten, she got a handbook to improve her kunai accuracy and she obtained a four-pack of instant yakisoba from Chouji.
The strangest thing though, came from Naruto. The gift itself was made from a silvery looking, rough metal, but the chain attached to it, suggested a wristband. The oddest thing of all was the fact that there were two of them.
"See this?" Naruto said as he held the two of them together.
Hinata nodded.
"Now when I do this," Naruto pulled the chain off one wristband and attached it to the other. He latched the two metal objects and turned it for Hinata to see.
She gasped. The two metals were temporarily locked to create a pendant in the shape of a heart that went around her neck. Naruto handed it over, all the time looking into Hinata's eyes.
"I call it The Hearts Game."
Words were too little to express her feelings, so instead she smiled and hugged him hard. Naruto was surprised at the action due to their public position, but he followed suit anyway.
Neji and Naruto hefted the right amp from the dolly onto the ground just outside the main door to the main mansion. Kiba and Shino handled the left amp on their side, while Ino and Shikamaru took the liberty of hooking up the wires to the back.
Sakura, Hinata and Tenten all chose their favorite songs (Hinata chose most of them), put then into the track player and turned up the volume. Soon, the best party/dance music began to roll as everyone crowded onto the dance floor.
Naruto "accidentally" bumped into Hinata; who stuttered and twiddled The Hearts Game on her chest.
"Hinata-chan?! Oh. Umm.... I was wondering if you-"
"Sure. I'd love to," came a quick reply. Naruto took Hinata's hand all the way to the center of commotion.
Neji peered over the partying peoples heads and spied Naruto walking with Hinata. 'Perfect chance.' He thought. Hinata's brother strode over to the track player and switched to a song that's title sounded like a slow song. People turned at the sudden change, but just as quickly, found a partner, and began to move to the music.
Shikamaru invited Ino to join him, which she gratefully accepted. Sakura saw Lee all alone sitting in a chair by the speaker, and decided requested a dance between the two. Lee's eyes lit up with a glow never seen before.
Naruto put his hands on Hinata's hips and Hinata put her own on Naruto's sturdy shoulders. They began to sashay along with the rhythm with their eyes locked the whole time. The simple fact that she was looking up at him was overwhelming Hinata. The other fact that they were actually touching, was making her legs feel weak.
He smiled, and they turned. Neither of them blinked. Not once for a whole thirty seconds. They didn't even notice the change in songs. They just kept dancing and dancing. Even the genre of music changed, despite the difference, their dancing continued.
Sakura turned, saw the incident, and tapped Lee's shoulder. "Look." She said.
He did, and was amazed. Soon there was a chain reaction of taps and whispers which ended up with everyone stopping to marvel the scene. Kakashi got within two feet without disturbing the dancing. He waved his hand to stop music, and Naruto kept dancing.
They had created their own little world around them. Nothing penetrated it and nothing escaped. The peripheral vision blurred to focus on each other. Ino paced over and tapped Hinata's shoulder.
She shook her head, blinked and looked around. It was obviously was too much for her, due to the fact that she immediately turned and ran into the woods. Everyone was trying to comprehend exactly what happened when Naruto raced after her, trying to keep up.
Her heart beat into her chest as she forced her body to go full out. All she knew now was to get as far away from the scene as possible. Hinata stopped at the sudden cramp in her ribs. Her back rolled against a tree trunk. For a reason unbeknownst to her, tears began to roll down her cheeks to hit the ground. 'What the hell am I crying for? I just had the best time in my life.' Hinata still didn't know why. "I did.... didn't I?'
Leaves crumpled underfoot as a person neared. Her sobs gave her position away to Naruto who came around the nearest thicket. He knelt down next to her and cupped her chin.
"Hinata-chan...." She tore her gaze away from Naruto and rested it on the ground. Once again, Naruto pulled her chin back up.
"What is it?" Hinata grabbed Naruto's collar and brought his lips down to hers. Naruto had no idea what to do. His mind said to pull away, while his body wanted more. In the end, the body overtook his mind, and deepened the kiss.
Despite this ecstasy, Hinata still produced tears. Naruto pulled back slowly, and wiped a tear away. "What was that for?"
Hinata paused. "I-I just didn't like the feeling of being so out of place in that big com-"
"No. I meant the kiss." Naruto corrected.
Hinata shifted uneasily and closed her eyes in anger to herself. "Naruto-kun, I love you. I love you." She buried her face in her hands. "I just needed that to truly prove it to myself.... and most of all.... you."
"So that's how it truly is?" a voice hovered behind them. Hinata's father Hiashi stepped from cover. "Hinata, why wasn't told about your feelings?"
She took a moment for the shock to seep in. "It's because I knew that you'd disapprove of it."
"Disapprove?!" Hiashi asked. "I'd never do such a thing!" he stooped down to talk to Hinata directly. "I noticed the changes in your character, and I decided to let you go along your own path. So," he took Naruto's and Hinata's hands and placed them in the other, "as long as your happy, I am too."
"Thank you, father." Hinata flung her arms around him and squeezed. Hiashi grinned as he pulled Hinata up.
"Though, that kiss was a bit much." and he had himself a laugh.
Very short and very corny.
