火火Chater six: The Red Haired Angel can mend broke hearts火火

The pair swiftly broke apart but not before the person who entered had seen. A red eyed Sakura stood frozen at the door for a few seconds at the door. Naruto and Hinata both stood there a foot apart sweating (not literally) as she gazed. Suddenly she left shutting the door quietly behind her, Hinata and Naruto looked at each other and Hinata gave Naruto a look that said 'go after her'. As Naruto left in hot pursuit of Sakura he looked down the hall just in time to see her take a right at the end of the hall,

"Sakura-chan!"

He ran down the hall and saw her take a left this time,

"Sakura-chan please wait!"

She was still silent even though she had heard Naruto's cry. Naruto quickened his running and finally caught up with her,

"Sakura-chan please let me explai -"

"What's there to explain Naruto! You were kissing her to me it looks like you've made your choice!"

"Made my choice but Sakura-chan-"

"DON'T call me that it's just Sakura, you can go back to your Hinata-chan for all I care"

"Sakura-chan..."

...The sadness will flow down our cheeks...

Naruto could do nothing but watch as Sakura ran away in what seemed like slow motion, as she ran realization struck Naruto of what he'd just done. A small tear ran down his face as she turned the corner confirming that whatever they'd previously had was now gone. He had lost her, he had lost the love of his life, his 'Sakura-chan' The girl that he had always chased was finally in his arms and he had let her go,

"DAMMIT!"

Naruto thrust his fist into the wall to the left of him and sent the wall rocketing through three rooms. As this happened Sakura collapsed into a nearby wall and cried into her hands, she asked herself why she was crying. She had already shed three weeks worth of tears for nothing. She knew she'd just lost everything that she'd ever wanted, like she had said before first Sasuke and now Naruto.

...And become a river of tears...

A torrent of rain had swept in over Konoha. It had been raining for an hour, the few market stalls that had tried to brave the rain were now closing up. Whether it was from lack of customers or from the rain they were hastily closing their stalls and rushing home. There were scarcely any people on the streets the few that were out, were going to their respective homes. The grey clouds seemed just the same as that day, as did the wind. They seemed almost identical to the day that Sasuke left Konoha. There was no one in the streets of Konoha, neither anyone in the forest but there was one solitary person in the Konoha training grounds.

A certain blond haired, blue eyed ninja was standing in the rain in the centre of the field. He had been here for three hours just standing there doing nothing. Whatever he was thinking no-one knew, except perhaps one certain pink haired, green eyed Kunoichi. As Naruto stood there and stared into the heavens he may have been thinking of how alone he now felt. He may have only lost one person but she was the girl that he had lived for she was his first love. Whether it was a childish crush or true love he did not know, he had no experience with these feelings but he now truly knew how Sasuke felt.

At the Valley of the End Sasuke had said to Naruto that he had not known how it felt to lose ties that had been so strongly formed, as he stood there pity filled his heart for Sasuke, he knew what it felt like to have loose such strong ties to someone you love, he knew how true loneliness felt.

As tears began to flow down Naruto's face disguised by the rain, the sound of a footstep on the wet grass behind him caught his attention.

火火break火火

That certain pink haired kunoichi left her house ignoring shouts from her mother about catching a cold. She cried into a tissue as she ran through the empty streets of Konoha, Her emerald green eyes were flowing with tears which took away the vision of her perfection.

What is the difference between loving someone and being in love with some one?

She had no idea where she was running to; she had let her legs guide her. Why she ran is not known, perhaps she is trying to understand why and how she fell in love with Naruto I'm in love with Naruto? And Naruto he chose – he broke up with – I – he kissed Hinata – that should mean that he chose her instead of me – then I should just forget about him – but why can't I rid myself of these feelings – is there still a connection between us? Why am I crying so much do I still love Naruto? But if he loved me then why was he kissing Hinata? Maybe you should just ask him before I knock all his front teeth out! How can I ask him I would speak to him if he was the last man alive! He owes me an apo- But at that instance all he thoughts were stopped as an orangey-red aura descended over her. This aura gave off a warm feeling that blocked off all the rain from hitting her and it almost instantly dried off her clothes and her face but this also revealed the fact she was crying.

You can love anybody but when you're in love with someone...

As she looked up to see where this strange aura had descended she saw above her what looked like,

"A – A phoenix?"

As the phoenix descended it's wings flapped to slow it's descend as it got closer to the ground. As it got closer Sakura saw that instead of there being the body of a phoenix there was instead a man, as the wings flapped harder it blew Sakura onto the now dry land. As his feet met the ground a few feet away from Sakura he saw that he had blazing red hair that went off in short spikes around his hair, he wore a red vest that had a white t-shirt underneath, he also wore red bottoms and he appeared to have four chakra tails protruding from his back. As he walked forward towards Sakura the tails flowed almost like fabric in his own aura, as he reached Sakura she saw that he wore a Sunagakure head band, he put out his hand as he said,

"A girl as beautiful as you shouldn't be out in the rain, neither should she be crying. Sorry if I surprised you but from what I saw you looked like you were getting soaked."

Sakura wore a surprised look as she took his hand,

"I – ah – arigatou..."

As she looked into his eyes she saw that he had red eyes, they seemed to radiate with warmth that calmed her,

"It was no problem; if you will allow me then I can give you a lift to your destination I am headed to the Hokage's office to speak with her."

"W - Well I was headed there as well so you can drop me off there, how are we going to get there?"

"We will fly – unless you are uncomfortable with it in which case I will carry you there."

"No I'm fine with flying" I think – no wait don't think about it!

"Then can you climb onto my back it would be safest for you to hold on there"

"I – OK"

As she grasped onto the mysterious mans chest the warmth of his aura flowed through her and any fear of flying that she may have had previously vanished.

"Here we go!"

You will take that person for whatever he or she look like or no matter what he or she does...

As they launched into the sky Sakura rested her ear onto his back, she could hear his heart slowly beating. As she did she opened her eyes to see all the rooftops of Konoha fly past. She looked up at his head to see his hair flowing slowly in the wind, the way his hair moved reminded her of fire and the red colour of his hair enhanced the vision. As they sailed over Konoha he looked back at Sakura, who hadn't spoken since they had taken flight,

"Are you alright?"

"Y – Yes...I was never that good with heights...but with you it seems different, I feel...safe"

"I'm glad that you feel that way, the building isn't far we'll be there soon, just hold on."

"I will"

As Sakura saw Tsunade's office approaching she noticed that the rained had stopped and the moon was now free from its previous veil of clouds. As he began to descend to the ground Sakura saw the hospital not far from the office, as she did she was suddenly reminded of Naruto. As she pushed Naruto out of her mind, she instead looked down just as the ninja landed.

"We're here so you can get down now."

As Sakura removed her grip from the mans chest she suddenly realized that she had just been helped and assisted on her way by a man whose name she did not know.

"Arigatou, can I ask you your name is?"

"Of course, my name is Amachi; could you also grace me with yours?"

"I'm Haruno Sakura, pleased to meet you."

"Well should we head inside?"

"Yes..."

There's something about him, I don't know what it is. Maybe it's his calmness, his politeness but something about him just makes me...like him. He seems to be level headed and always know what to do. He's someone reliable someone you can trust, and he's really handsome too! He's way better than Naruto! And he's got that cool red hair which is close to the same colour as mine.

Naruto slowly turned round to see who his mystery visitor was, as he saw Hinata's face which wore a worried look he knew before she spoke why she was here,

"Naruto-kun, why are you standing here in the rain?"

"Because...It reminds me...of that day..."

"Which day, Naruto-kun?"

"A day long passed...a day long forgotten..."

"I – I don't understand"

"Only I and one other person remember that day so it's no surprise"

"Naruto-kun I – I came to apolo-"

"I knew that you would eventually but there is no need, a man takes responsibility for his actions. I am a man so I will."

"I figured that you would say that so I did not come to apologize to you for that..."

"Then what have you come to apologize for?"

"For this..."

Hinata stepped forward and looked Naruto in the eyes, regardless of how down Naruto felt he was still flustered that Hinata had come so close.

"Naruto-kun I regretted that we did not get to finish what we started in the hospital, I know the circumstances were strange but..."

She put her body directly in front of his, their faces were but mere centimetres away.

"I felt that we should finish what we started so, even if it's only one...

She inched her face closer to his and closed her eyes.

"I feel that I must steal a kiss..."

As Sakura followed him through the building she began to wonder what business he had with Tsunade Well he can fly and he seems smart as well so I'll assume it's something important, like a joint Suna-Konoha mission When they finally arrived at Tsunade's door Sakura saw the usual guards, as soon as they saw Amachi they addressed him,

"So you're finally here, she's been waiting for you you're late."

"I am sorry, I saw Sakura here out in the rain so I assisted her in arriving here."

"You helped me when you already had an appointment with Tsunade-sama, you shouldn't have – I mean why go through all that trouble for me?"

"It was no trouble; if our meeting was fate then we met each other for a reason."

"No but- " You do not know the wrath of an angry Tsunade!

"I think we have wasted enough time chatting already, Amachi you should go in also it would be a good idea for you to go in as well Sakura-san."

"Nani – why?"

"You'll see..."

He replied as he opened the door for the two to walk in on a sleeping Tsunade. As the door closed behind them they stood there wondering if Tsunade would awaken by herself, Sakura could hear the light snoring and decided that she wasn't gonna wake up any time soon.

"I – haha – think I should wake her up?"

Sakura walked over to Tsunade's desk and said quietly,

"Um – Tsunade-sama, there's a guest here"

"ZZZ"

No response, so Sakura increased her volume,

"Tsunade-sama a guest is here"

"ZZZ...Jiraiya stop...ZZZ"

Still no response, so Sakura crashed her hands on the table and shouted,

"TSUNADE-SAMA THERE'S A GUEST HERE!"

As the table legs snapped and sent Tsunade slamming into the ground, three bottles of sake were revealed behind the table,

"Jiraiya slow down honestly yo - She looks up at Sakura then at Amachi - I – ah – so you – um - have arrived."

She managed to say as she swiftly picked up herself from the remnants of the desk,

"I would have arrived earlier but I saw Sakura on the way so I took a slight detour."

"I – I see well (I was a bit tired when I was waiting but) have you been informed of the contents of the mission by your Kazekage?"

"Yes he told me most details but some he said were to be told by you, such as the team I'm working with and other things."

Sakura heard this and it confirmed her suspicions So he is here for a mission, I wonder who he's working with though?,

"Well the team that you'll be working with is the one lead by Yamato, the members consist of Uzumaki Naruto, Sai and the girl standing beside you."

Sakura shocked at hearing he was working with her, wore a shocked face He's going on a mission with me! But what mission – wait oh no I completely forgot about the mission, recon in the grass country! So he's gonna be assisting us...with him there I'm sure the mission will succeed.

"So this is the reason that fate brought us together, I see...I look forward to working with you."

"A – As do I."

"Well the reason that I asked for you to be brought here a week early is so that you could get on good relations with the people you'll be working with (especially Naruto). As Sakura is already here then I suggest that you two go out somewhere and get to know each other, preferably you should go to a place where you can talk so the movie theatre's out of the question. I know you two tomorrow dinner at the new store that has opened not too far away from here; I'll make the reservations myself."

"I – nani – Tsunade-sama isn't that a bit much-"

"No I don't think it is unless you don't want to get to know Amachi here, in which case I could go with him..."

Pushing a nasty mental picture out of her head Sakura replied,

"No I think I'll go, if you want to go Amachi?"

She looked up at him hopefully,

"I would be honored to make your acquaintance, but if you really don't want too I could still go with the Godaime"

As Tsunade grabbed Amachi's head and hugged it into her breasts as she replied,

"Ohhhhhh! You're so cute! But it seems that you'll be going with Sakura instead!"

Sakura scowled at her wondering if a fifty something year old woman should be doing that, she also wondered if she knew about what had happened between her and Naruto.

"Well Sakura unless there is something else you want to discuss, I think you should be heading home. Amachi you can stay and I'll sort out suitable housing for you."

"There isn't anything I'd like to discuss now, but I'll catch up with you later."

As Sakura went to leave but was stopped as Amachi spoke to her,

"Sakura surely you aren't going to go home by yourself at this time, Hokage-sama can we discuss my lodging later? I would first like to take Sakura home."

"Very well, I also agree that Amachi should take you home."

Sakura once again gave Tsunade a deadly look, but was inwardly glad that she had more time to spend with Amachi, even if it was only a short flight she wanted to be close to him.

"Well it's two against one..."

As Sakura once again held onto Amachi's back preparing to take flight into the clear night sky, she felt the warmth of his chakra once again flow through her.

"Hold on tight."

Sakura redoubled her grip as he once again launched into the sky, leaving a trail of red sparkles behind him. Tsunade witnessed the spectacular show from her office watching as the red light flew in the direction of Sakura's house. She smiled triumphantly as she remembered the look on Sakura's face,

"So the red haired angel can mend broken hearts..."

Naruto was shocked at hearing Hinata's words steal a kiss... His mind temporarily froze. He still didn't fully understand the situation but Hinata still wanted him; there was still someone who cared. He was suddenly overcome with emotion as Hinata's lips met his What's this feeling, I'm feeling it again...is it...true love he was suddenly overcome with emotion, he returned Hinata's kiss passionately his hands slowly closed in on her waist, she once again ran her hands through his spiky, blond hair. Suddenly she pulled off from Naruto and looked into his eyes, she was blushing a lot and she had an innocent look on her face, so what she said next surprised Naruto,

"Naruto-kun, if you want to we can do it now?"

Naruto was surprised at this suddenly coming from Hinata, the shy girl that fainted every time she saw him had come out of her shell, this new nature she had seemed more daring, more wild and Naruto liked it,

"If you think you're ready..."

Hinata paused to think for a moment, Naruto was slightly surprised at this she had been the one to suggest this and now she was thinking, what was going through her mind he did not know but he would not force her, it was her decision to make (and he feared what Neji would do to him when he found out and even worse the wrath of her father) suddenly Hinata's voiced drew him out of his thoughts.

"I'm ready...Naruto-kun"

As she said this she suddenly kissed him a kiss that had much more fire to it. Hinata began to unzip his shirt when Naruto suddenly realized not here, not now Naruto suddenly grasped Hinata's hand as his shirt was just fully unzipped,

"Hinata we need to get out of here quick!"

"But why Naruto-ku – ahhhh!"

He pulled her by her wrist to a nearby bush, as Naruto lay there silently Hinata lying on his chest he listened out for any noise, Hinata was still quite shocked at what had happened,

"Naruto-kun why are we -"

"Shhhhhhh! They might hear us..."

Hinata was wondering what Naruto was talking about when she suddenly heard the sound of a person approaching, she adjusted her body and looked out of the bush, she saw the figure of a man with long hair approaching, as the moonlight suddenly illuminated hum she was shocked to see,

"Neji-nii-san!"

"Shhh! He might hear us, he is a jounin."

Neji walked forward towards the spot that they had previously occupied, he looked around and then sat down,

"They're not here yet..."

As he sat there Naruto and Hinata were nearly motionless in the bush observing Neji a second figure approached,

"So you're on time"

"Of course, I wouldn't miss this for the world."

"Neither would I Neji–kun"

As the mystery girl walked closer to Neji still in the shadow of the tree, Naruto and Hinata watched eagerly. As Tenten stepped into the moonlight Hinata let a gasp just barely escape her. But as Tenten walked closer they shared a kiss, Naruto seemed unable to contain himself,

"NANI! Neji and Tenten! "This isn't a training session!"

As Naruto had leapt out of the bush he hadn't noticed that his jacket which was caught on a branch of the bush and already unzipped had now completely come off, neither had he noticed that Hinata who was previously laying on him had now toppled out and was lying in an awkward position on the ground. As Naruto looked (yes it's back the foxy face) at the two a chilly wind blew which made him realize what had happened. He then looked back at the bush at Hinata who quickly sat upright. He hen turned back to Neji with a look that said 'have mercy',

"Naruto just what have you been doing up here with Hinata-sama?"

Neji said in a deadly quiet voice,

"Eheheheheh, well – um – you see..."

As Amachi set down just outside Sakura's house, she got down from his back slightly blushing. It may have been because she was so high in the air but her mind had been thinking of some strange scenarios, she threw them out of her mind as she addressed Amachi,

"Thanks for the ride, it makes me realize how far my house is from the Hokage office."

"Once again it was no problem; a man cannot leave a woman to go home alone at this time."

Sakura considered for a moment then planted a kiss on his cheek whispering into his ear,

"That's my thanks, I'm really looking forward to our date, buh-bye!"

She walked into her house leaving a very confused Amachi in her wake, as he stood there touching his cheek far away shouts of pain could be heard...

火火break火火

Neji adjusted his clothing as he stood over a very injured Naruto,

"In future you'll ask my permission..."

"Nii-san wasn't that a bit much, he's completely knocked out..."

"Yeah Neji-kun it's not like he was...you know, Hinata's clothes are completely on."

"Regardless why was his shirt off and why were you two in the bushes?"

"I – um..."

"Leave it Neji if anyone's going to be up to no good it'll be Naruto and I think he's had some sense beaten into him, Hinata's the innocent one so don't interrogate her."

As Naruto lay on the ground seeing stars, Hinata attempted to awaken him,

"He's out cold...I might as well..."

Hinata formed some seals and then a small amount of water fell on Naruto's face instantly awakening him

"I'M SORRY I'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN! Oh – ah -"

He looked around to see Hinata's relieved face Tenten's smiling one and tried to avoid Neji's, Neji on the other hand took a mental note A water jutsu without a source she's improving,

"So you're awake Naruto-kun, I was a little worried."

"Yeah, has everything been explained?"

"Yes it has Naruto"

Naruto was surprised to hear Neji speak and even more surprised to see him offer a hand, Naruto took it and stood up,

"Here you go Naruto-kun" Hinata offered Naruto his jacket back

"Huh – oh – arigatou, Hinata-chan"

Chan? Three minds thought at once,

"Well seeing as that's cleared up, just what were you two going to do up here, if I hadn't jumped out what would have happened?"

Naruto asked this daringly, Tenten had a smile on her face but Neji blushed saying,

"We don't have to answer that!"

"WE were going to do a training session! But you jumped out when we were – um – greeting each other (yeah that's it)..."

"(Yeah right this late at night) Whatever you say, anyways I'm off –"

"Wait Naruto has anyone informed you of how you got here, from the forest I mean?"

"Ermmm – Actually I just realized how did I get here?"

"I brought you-"

火火break火火

(AN: This is gonna go back aaaaaaaaaages and if anyone was wondering how Naruto got from the battle field to the hospital here's the answer)

"Tsukiyomi!"

Hinata watched as the man stared into Naruto's eyes. He was frozen there not moving.

"Naruto-kun! Naruto-kun!"

When he didn't respond she began to panic He's not dead! He can't be dead!,

"Wake up Naruto-kun! Naruto-kun!"

She was screaming at the top of his lungs but he still stood there with that shocked look on his face but a sudden whisper in her ears reminded her of her situation,

"Naruto-kun eh, is he your boyfriend of something? Mister high and mighty comes to take revenge for the girl? He's just as weak as you are."

"He is not weak and neither am I, I can already see through your genjutsu!"

"Is that so then me putting this kunai to your throat is just an illusion too?"

"No that's the real you, want me to prove it, Juuken!"

"Nani!"

Hinata struck five quick blows to the back of her female opponent, who was surprised to see that it was a bunshin,

"Not bad!"

ping

"Shoot!"

The females kage bunshin had disappeared and she was nowhere to be seen. Hinata quickly scanned with her Byakugan but the enemy had somehow concealed herself,

"You can't see me can you? I know all about the 'Byakugan' and in insight it exceeds but analysis wise it sucks, right now I'm moving so fast you can't keep up!"

Hinata gasped at hearing this I – I can't see! She searched around but saw nothing suddenly she noticed on the ground a ninja that had an ANBU mask on which had the Konoha sign on it A fallen comrade, I have to help them too but first! Hinata went into here fighting stance and then intensified her Byakugan If I focus enough I can see a flash of a footstep to her left, a flash of clothing behind her, a kunai being drawn right in front of her Now!,

"Hakke Rokujyuu Yonshou!"

ping

Shoot another kage bunshin, now I have to look for her again As she once again scanned the area she saw a twig snap not too far off Oh crap,

"Hakkesho Kaiten!"

She managed to start spinning just in time to avoid being hit by the 1000 explosive tagged kunais that had been set loose, as a series of explosions surrounded her she was unharmed but suddenly a blade cut through her 'Divine Whirl' and slashed through her left leg. This forced her to stop the spin and was caught by the enemy from behind,

"Interesting technique but it isn't good enough!"

Hinata frantically thought of a way to escape but her injured leg was slowing her down I need to get out of here fast, if I get to level ground quick enough I can start Shugohakke Rokujyū Yonshō, that should be fast enough to stop the blade, maybe I can counter it As another slash aimed at the limb she was resting o met it's target Hinata was analyzing the surroundings, she began to notice seals around the area and noticed that the woman could only move to these spots They must somehow assist her in her movements if I could destroy them... She dodged another slash then followed a path she had seen to the ground,

"What's this running away?"

"I would never run from a battle when the person I admire is watching!"

"So he is your boyfriend but there's no way he can survive that jutsu!"

"Like you just said my Byakugan is a master of insight, he's not as far away as you think!"

"That's just a bluff he isn't coming to help you and neither is anyone else for that matter!"

But Hinata had seen 300 meters north two ninja's were approaching at a high speed,

"It seems that your speed is linked with these seals scattered all over the area so if I do this!"

Hinata let loose twenty kunai which had explosive tags attached each of them hit a seal. The explosion took down a few trees giving Hinata the cover she needed to approach the enemy unnoticed,

"Juuken!"

Hinata managed to connect five hits on the back of the opponent before jumping to higher ground,

"Haaah – Not bad kid but- "

Whatever her last words were they were silenced by a sudden blast of chakra from her left,

"Na - cough - ni!"

As Neji appeared carrying Naruto on his shoulder with Tenten at his side carrying the other sound ninja he addressed Hinata,

"Are you okay Hinata-sama?"

"Y – Yes"

"Then take care of Naruto he doesn't fare as well"

"He's not!"

"No he is alive and from what I can see well."

There was a sudden swirl of leaves around both Neji and Tenten and they appeared beside Hinata,

"I shall do the rest!"

He laid Naruto down on the ground before addressing the Sound Nin,

"It would seem that my cousin here did some damage but I'm in a whole new league!"

Neji suddenly appeared behind the sound nin and attacked with his 'Juuken' the girl was just barely able to dodge but anywhere she retreated to Neji would swiftly follow also Neji's hits may not have been properly connecting but they were still leaving damage,

"It seems all you can do is dodge, but for how long?"

As he said this Neji quickly doubled his pace and managed to connect a hit in her left waist,

"Bastard I have yet to unveil my true speed!"

"Is that so? Then why are you slowing down?"

"Shall I do a quick demonstration?"

She drew a kunai that had a jutsu shiki on it,

"What is that?" And what's that chakra flowing through it?

"I see, so you haven't seen one of these before, then prepare to be amazed!"

What's she going to do? She threw the kunai directly at him but he repelled it with chakra,

"Is that it?"

Suddenly she appeared right in front of him with the kunai in her hand,

"Not quite!"

She threw it again at Tenten this time but she countered with her own, as the kunai was deflected to the right she appeared again with it in her hand,

"My, my, you are quite slow!"

She landed and disappeared suddenly the body on Tenten's shoulder vanished and the girl appeared not far away on the top of a tree,

"You may have won the battle Konoha Shinobi, but we will surely win the war!"

"Wait what do you mean the war, is Sound planning something?"

"Who said anything about Sound, this is a personal vendetta!"

"What are you no longer connected with Orochimaru? Then who are you planning with?"

"All will be revealed in time, Sayonara Konoha Shinobi!"

At these words she vanished,

"What did she mean by that? We need to get back to Konoha, quick. Hinata-sama we located the rest of your team earlier they seem to be unconscious but have not sustained any serious injury."

"Wait Neji-nii-san there was another, an ANBU."

"In which direction?"

"Not far just a bit over there."

As Neji leapt off in the direction in which Hinata had pointed him, the others awoke the other team members, when Neji saw the figure in full ANBU clothing, as he approached he saw that the mask was cracked and had half fallen off. Intrigued he pulled off the mask to see,

"It's..."

火火break火火

"Nani! Why'd you stop who the hell was under the mask?"

"Well I think you'll have to find that out for yourself."

"Huh – Why?"

"Because for some reason, she wanted to be the person to tell you her name. It turns out that she isn't an ANBU but she was a chuunin who transferred from Suna, apparently she knows you."

"A chuunin from Suna? I don't remember one..."

"She was in the ward next to you so you can visit her tomorrow, it should make for an interesting conversation."

A twang of jealously went through Hinata An interesting conversation,

"Well he can't because me and Naruto are going out tomorrow!"

"We are?"

"Yes we are! Tomorrow at eight that new restaurant near the Hokage's office – don't you remember?"

Hinata said the last part in such a quietly deadly way that Naruto suddenly remembered,

"Oh yeah! Tomorrow! I'll be there - for sure – but I already said I'll be there – before – right – I'll shut up now."

"Well me and Neji-kun are coming too we can make it a double date!"

"Wah – when did we agree –"

Tenten grabbed Neji's head in a headlock and then whispered in his ear,

"You want to keep an eye on Naruto and Hinata so we can do it whilst enjoying ourselves as well! Right!"

"Y – Yeah!"

"So it's agreed we'll all meet there at eight o'clock!"

"Don't be late Naruto-kun (Or else)."

"You either Neji-kun (Or else)."

Both: "Right!"

The girls looked at each other with a look that said 'ruling with fear, I love it'. As Neji and Tenten, made there way back they were talking about there date tomorrow but with Naruto and Hinata, there wasn't much talk Naruto was still pondering over who this mystery girl might be whilst Hinata was too excited to speak. She finally had a date with Naruto his attention would finally be on just her and it would be just them alone, well as alone as you can get in a restaurant, she made a mental note to order a table in the corner away from prying eyes. As they arrived both Naruto and Hinata noticed that Neji and Tenten had disappeared,

"When did they – whatever – It seems we're at your house Hinata-chan."

"Yes, thanks for walking me home Naruto-kun."

"It was no problem what boy would leave a girl to walk home alone in the dead of the night, besides I enjoyed the walk home it turns out that you're an interesting person once you open up."

"I enjoyed it too Naruto-kun, it was fun to get a chance to talk to you. I'm looking forward to tomorrow, it should be fun."

"Just being with you I know it will be fun."

"Bye Naruto-kun."

"Bye Hinata-chan."

As Naruto watched Hinata walk into the Hyuuga mansion, he began to think Hinata-chan...has a nice ring to it.

This chapter is waaaaaaaaay longer than the others I forgot to put the flashback in the last chapter and almost forgot again but found a way to integrate it into this one, also with Naruto and Sakura going separate ways could they ever get back together, whilst writing this chapter I thought of the perfect spin off but I will still have to build up this story a hint to it is that it's based around this mystery girl (I may change this to a NaruHina rather than a NaruSaku) tell me what you think R&R. Also I don't own Naruto in any way shape or form although if I did it would be very interesting, also I own this chapter and all the others.
