The Rampage

Chapter 10: Shockers

Disclaimer: don't make me say it again.

'What the hell is wrong with her! I was only looking out for her and she, she!' The blonde mentally yelled at the girl.

"N-Naruto? Y-You l-l-look t-tense. A-Are you o-o-okay?"

"Huh?" The soft voice snapped him back to reality. He looked at the shy brunette at his door.

"Oh, uh, yea. I'm fine." Hinata thought otherwise but shrugged it off. "Why'd ya stop by?"

"T-To see if y-you were o-o-okay." She looked down at her feet. Naruto stepped back form the door.

"Come on in." Hinata nodded her head, walked in, and sat on the couch. "So why wouldn't I be okay?" Naruto went and took a seat next to her.

"W-Well y-you, I m-m-mean the o-other d-day, y-you-" Naruto butted in.

"Oh you mean how I couldn't find my house!" Naruto chuckled. "Don't worry, obviously, I found it. I ran into Sakura and she helped me out." The young shinobi frowned.

"W-What's wrong?" Hinata looked at her friend concerned.

"Nothing." Naruto shook the thought of Sakura from his head. "So…want something to drink?" Naruto stood up and walked over to the fridge.

"Y-Yes please." The young Hyuuga turned around and rested her head on the back of the couch.

"So do you want…um…spoiled milk or water?" the boy let out a nervous chuckle.

"Water please." Naruto looked at her and gave a thumbs up.

"Good choice!" Naruto walked over to the sink with a cup and filled it with water. "Sorry outta ice." He smiled and gave her the cup.

"T-Thank you." She took the cup and sipped form it quietly. When she finished she looked at Naruto. "T-There was another r-r-reason I c-came h-h-here t-too." Naruto went over and sat next to her.

"What is it?"

"W-Well, b-before y-y-you left you um…" A small blush crept across her face and Naruto's as well.

"Y-Yea…about that…I'm sorry." Naruto looked away from her as a huge blush made it's way onto his face.

"N-No! D-Don't be s-s-sorry. I-I am curious w-why y-y-you did it." Hinata looked away as well hiding her blush. This caught Naruto off guard. He didn't know what to say. That was a good question. Why did he do it?

"Um…well you see…" Naruto looked ahead of him and started scratching his chin with his right index finger. "Um…I wanted to." He sighed. 'What kinda answer is that?'

"Y-You wanted t-t-to?" Hinata smiled to herself.

"Yea…"

"W-Well I better b-b-be g-getting home." Hinata stood and walked over to the door. "B-Bye Nar-" She was cut off by non other than the knucklehead. He cut her off with a kiss.

Her eyes were wide with shock while her face was beat red. Naruto's arms were wrapped firmly around her waist. Her hands were pressed up against his chest. Hinata broke the kiss from lack of air. And then fainted. Naruto caught her with his left arm.

He picked her up bridal style and carried her over to the couch. He set her down very gently.

"Didn't think she'd faint." He walked over to the sink, got a rag, and ran it under some cold water. 'Or should I use warm water? Aw man! Do I even need a rag? I'll use this and see if it works…if I even need it…' He walked back over to the unconscious girl and placed the rag on her forehead.

'She is so cute! When she's awake and asleep. I never really noticed before…to concentrated on Sakura and Sasuke. Ya know, they can both just burn in a pit of fire and I wouldn't care! They could loose their heads and I wouldn't care! They could just- great…now I'm ultra violent.' Naruto let out a long and heavy sigh and directed his attention back to the fainted girl. 'I just need to not think about them right now.'

Pink hair was spread across her pillow as she lay there in thought staring at the ceiling.

"I shouldn't have been so mean to him. I mean he was only thinking about my safety…" The kunoichi thought aloud to herself.

"Yea you shouldn't have been mean to him. That was wrong. He was only worried about you."

"I know I know! Why do I have to…wait a minute…that wasn't me." Sakura sat up and peered out her window.

"Hey Sakura!"

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Sakura fell backwards off the bed anime style. "W-What the hell?" She clamored off the floor. Her hair was a huge mob on her head.

"Hi!" Sakura groaned and walked over to her window.

"What's wrong with the door lately? Is there a big sign on it that says Out of Order Go To Sakura's Window?" Her hands were on her hips.

"In my mind, yes. In life? No."

"What do you want?"

"To check on you."

"Everyone seems to be doing that lately…so you gonna just sit on the window? Either come in, or leave. I'd prefer you leave." Sakura sat on her bed.

"I'll come in!" Sakura mentally slapped herself as the ninja on her window came in. "Nice room. Very…clean…"

"So you checked on me. Now what do you want?"

"Oh yes! How are things lately?" Sakura arched a brow at her visitor.

"Fine. Why?"

"Well I just happened to overhear a little quarrel between friends." The ninja put down a book he was looking at.

"So you heard me and Naruto fighting huh?"

"Yep."

"I just checked on him. He's seems to be doing okay. I mean Hinata's over and last thing I saw was him kissing her so hey."

"He what to who?" Sakura's face dropped.

"Naruto kissed Hinata." Sakura clenched a fist. "Get out, please." She directed her pointer finger to the window.

"Jealous?"

"NO! GET OUT!" In fear the ninja jumped out the window. "Don't EVER come here again without using the door Kakashi-sensei!" She waved her fist angrily out the window. "The nerve of that guy!"

"Sakura! You have a visitor!" The enraged girl froze with her fist still out the window.

"It better not be…" Sakura's bedroom door swung open and in walked. "KAKASHI-SENSEI!" With the surprise she fell out the window only to be caught by Kakashi. "Okay, what do you want now?" The huffy shinobi went and sat on the bed with her arms crossed and eyes closed. A huge frown planted on her face.

"To request what Naruto requested." Sakura's eyes shot open.

"SAY WHAT!" Kakashi put his hands up.

"Please, please calm down. I just don't want you to get hurt." Sakura slammed her hands on the bed.

"You sound just like Naruto! I said it before and I'll say it again, I won't get hurt!"

"Well what's up with that?" the silver haired jonin pointed to the red ribbon wrapped around Sakura's left shoulder. Sakura's eyes got wide.

"New fashion?"

"New fashion? Are you sure it's not to cover up the injury you got fighting Sasuke?"

"I-I don't know what you're talkin' bout." Sakura closed her eyes and crossed her arms again. Kakashi sighed, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples.

'Dealing with a stubborn teenager is never easy…especially when they're female.'

"That's enough training for the day. Let's go home." A girl with chocolate brown hair started collecting her kunai from the straw dummies.

"Yea lets go." A boy with pale white eyes stretched his arms up in the air. "Can you finish picking up here Tenten?"

"Uh-"

"Great. See you guys tomorrow." The boy waved a hand in the air and walked off.

'Damn that Neji!' Tenten clenched her fist.

"Do not worry Tenten! I will help you pick up!" A teenage boy in a green spandex suit started pulling kunai and shuriken from the straw dummies.

"Thanks Lee." They spent another five or so minutes picking up before heading home. "See ya tomorrow." Tenten threw her pack over her shoulder and headed off.

"Good bye!" Lee waved bye to the kunoichi and left as well. "We ended training a little earlier than usual. The sun is still shinning." He kept walking in total silence.

"Still light out. Too bad."

"W-Who is there?" Lee froze in his tracks.

"Wanna know? Turn around."
