One-Thousand Pages of My Love
chapter II: Neji-nii-san
(BEEP) (BEEP) (BEEP) (BEEP)
The clock rang five-thirty, Hinata's usual time to wake up and get ready for school, but today was different. Today, Hinata was walking to school with a certain Uzumaki Naruto, and she for sure wasnt going to be late! She had gotten up at four that morning, to make sure she looked absolutely perfect and that she was absolutely ready, so she wouldn't have to make her boyfriend wait. As Hinata thought about this, and she blushed her trademark cherry red, giggling with glee. It still felt weird for her to call Naruto her boyfriend. But it was a good feeling. After finishing her hair and grabbing her bag, she was out the door. And right on time too, outside waiting was the number-one, hyper-active, nuckle-head ninja, Naruto.
"Ready to go, Hina-chan?" Hinata blushed and smiled, happily obliging to the offer of holding his hand, and they were on their way.
"Hinata, you dont have to just hold the edge of my fingers." Hinata was still a little shy. "Oh, thank you, Naruto-kun." She held onto his whole hand and smiled even more, if that was possible. And when they were halfway to the academy, Naruto started laughing."W-whats so funny, Naruto-kun?" "hm, hm, hm, I just love you so much!" He took his left hand out of Hinata's tight clasp, put it around her waist, and tickled her in the stomach with his right. "Ha ha!--N-naruto-k-kun! ha ha--sto-ha ha--stop it! ha ha ha ha ha"
"Oh yeah, oh yeah? what was that? You said you wanted more? huh?" Naruto tickled her harder now, resulting in a red faced Hinata, partly from her blushing and partly from her laughing so hard. When Naruto was done with his tickling, Hinata saw her chance and grabbed hold of Naruto's arm, snuggling into his shoulder. They began walking again. "Hinata, do you REALLY love me?" "Of course, Naruto-kun! With all of my heart! why do you ask?" Naruto responded sarcastically,"I dont knooooww, you really seem to like my arm..." Hinata playfully nudged Naruto's shoulder and laughed. "hm, hm, You always make me smile."
Before either of them had noticed, they had already reached the academy, hand in hand. And a group of girls were already waiting to squeeze every bit of gossip out of a very happy Hinata. "Hey Hinata-chan! Over here!" Tenten called out. "I-I'm sorry Naruto-kun. But Ten-chan wants me to--" "That's alright, I'll just catch you later!" Naruto ended his sentence by pulling up to Hinata and kissing her on the cheek.
"I love you."
This was followed by a hoard of screaming girls, all anxiously calling Hinata's name. So, needed no more, Naruto walked to where Kiba was standing and started up a conversation(but thats not what we wanna hear, lets go over to Hinata!)
Hinata was in the middle of a circle of girls, demanding to know what happened both at the party and this morning. Around her was: Temari, Tenten, Sakura, Ino,some other girls who couldnt make it to the party, and...Rock Lee! "Tell me, Hinata-chan! what happened between you and Naruto-kun! I saw you two walking to school and Naruto making you blush with his youthful charms!" Sakura was getting annoyed. "I thought I told you to go and talk with the boys, BUSHY-BROWS!" With that, sakura gave Rock Lee a swift kick to the stomach and he went flying to the forest. She could hear him say something but she couldnt quite make it out.
"I LOVE YOU SAKURA-CHAAAAAaaaaaaannn!" "Okay, thats done, SO? give us the gossip!" Sakura was ecstatic! "Well, um.." Everyone gathered around and got closer. "Naruto let me hold his hand this morning and"
Ino stepped in. "Oh, come on! get to the good stuff! Did he kiss you yet! Does he call you! He's not trying to touch you is he! And he didnt let you hold his hand this morning! NO! He had the PRIVELAGE of holding YOUR hand this morning!" Hinata started blushing and tapping her fingers together again, but she liked the attention. Just then, Temari came behind her and gave her a noogie. "ooooohhhhhhh! You two are just too adorable together! You should have seen them walking to school this morning--" "Uuuhh..Tem-chan, it's--" "--It was so cute! Naruto started tickling her and she was turning so red! ha ha!" steam was coming out of Hinata's ears from embarrassment, and once again, everyone thought it was cute. and everyone in unison: "AAAAWWWWW"
( at the boys end) Naruto walked up to Kiba, a friendly smile on his face. "Hey man, I dont think you should look so happy. Neji looks like he wants to kick some ass, And it's probably your ass that's got his name written all over it." Naruto's smile qickly faded, and Kiba pointed to where the hot-headed Hyuuga stood. Naruto turned his head to look behind him. And for sure, there he was, right behind him, talking to one of the visiting sound ninja. Neji quickly sensed Naruto's staring and gave him a cold glare. And with a flash, the orange-sweatered ninja turned back around. "Aw, man. You got him really pissed. heh heh, whatja do"
Naruto smacked himself on the face and held his hand over his eyes. "Gah! He's so not going to let me forget is he?" "Let you forget what?" Kiba blinked, and an angry Neji appeared behind Naruto. He grabbed the back of the blonde's orange sweater and pulled him behind one of the classrooms. "gah! Neji! What the"
"SSHH! Dammit, Naruto, why do you always have to be so loud!" Naruto crossed his arms and made an angry face.
"So, what? what do you want!" "So, why didnt you tell Hinata it was me"
"Why? Did you want me to"
"Dont get smart with me, Naruto"
"I didnt tell her because I thought she'd get upset...With both of us. If I told her you hit me, then she would never fogive you, and she would think I hated her. That would've ended up bad for the both of us"
"Hhhhmmmm...Pretty smart Uzumaki. I'll give you that. I guess I should give you my thanks, and tell you...good job, you made the right decision. I was just about to kill you if you hadnt shown up to Hinata's party...If you hadnt given her back the diary. Good job, you did something right, and made my Oni-chan happy. Please stay with her and keep her happy, and Naruto..you break her heart, I'll break you. got it"
"Loud and clear, Neji-nii-san, loud and clear." Just then, the sound ninja Neji had been talking to had appeared next to them. "Are you done here, Neji? It's almost time to meet up with sensei"
"Yes, Eric, I'm done. I just had a little business to take care of with Naruto. Now, let's go"
And for once in his life, Naruto smirked. And Neji did the same, turning around and heading back. "I look foreward to meeting with you again, Uzumaki."
Naruto made a relieving sigh. "God, I thought for sure he was gonna freakin kill me! and thank god he didnt see through me! One of the real reasons I didnt tell Hinata was because I was afraid he would beat me up...again! And I didnt want to have to tell her about the diary, that would've totally messed EVERYTHING up!" Walking back around the classroom, Naruto suddenly stopped. Standing right in front of him was a group of mean-looking girls, so basically, the entire girl population of Konoha, all waiting to talk to him. Hinata squeezed out from the middle of the group and ran to her Naruto-kun. "Naruto!" But before she could hug him, Sakura grabbed her hood and pulled her back. "OH No you dont! You're not going to stop us Hinata!". "what! Sakura, what are you--?" "Naruto! We kunoichi of Konoha are here to warn you that if you ever put your filthy, dirty, perverted hands on Hinata, if you even think of touching her!---(Sakura cracked her knuckles) you. will. die." Naruto gulped. "Hey hey! I would never do that to Hina-chan! Dont worry about it!" "We better not have to, Naruto!" And with the order of Sakura, the crowd of girls retreated back to their spot and Hinata ran and hugged Naruto. "Have fun Hinata!" Sakura gave a now sweet smile and waved a happy goodbye, giggling on her way back. "S-Sorry Naruto. They wouldnt let me--" "It's no problem, Hina-chan, I'm pretty much used to it by now, even if they are pushing it a little, but, they wont have to worry. Believe it!" Naruto made his trademark grin and hugged Hinata close to him. Things were looking up.
