Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
A/N: I'm sorry if it took me months before I did this chapter. It's just that there are lots of projects to make. Then there's midterm and finals. Around February, I lost all my ideas when Kurapika-kun, (my friend), made my Valentines month miserable… Until now we're not talking, which made me wonder how and why did my ideas suddenly got back?
Sakura-chan was my proof reader until Junshin Ai's chapter 5. She was concentrating on her Arina Tanemura's work collection. Since I don't have any proof reader anymore, I wanted to tell you that I'm so sorry if I have lots of grammatical errors in my past few works. I never read what I already typed that's why I had no time to check if my grammars are wrong or not. Anyway, please bear with me… Thank You to all those who reviewed on all my works… I'm trying to improve because you trust me…Arigatou!

"Hina-chan, do you like food or drinks? It's still fifteen minutes before the practice starts…Ahm…Maybe you're hungry?" Kiba asked attentively.
In the corner of his eyes, he saw Naruto trying to go near Hinata but the wedding couple tried to get his attention away from her. He nearly chuckled but immediately stopped his self. The plan should work smoothly or else they will wait for a decade and still the dense Naruto won't be able to know his own feelings.
"Ohayou Hinata, Kiba" a bedroom male voice spoke on their back. It was Gaara, the Kazekage of the Sand. Kiba and Gaara instantly exchanged quick glances.
"Ohayou Gaara-sama" the ever so polite Hinata said, bowing her head that she did not see the mysterious look in their eyes.
"You don't have to call me like that. I prefer what Naruto call me, just plain Gaara will do" he said kindly as a smile twist a little in the corner of his lips.
"Iie, you're the Sand's Kazekage. I insist to call you Gaara-sama" Hinata said blushing after hearing the name of Naruto.
Then Shino, Neji and Lee came, with the latter shouting and striking a pose ,"The young green beast of Konoha is here!" While the former gave him a frown.
"Arrhm…" a messy black-haired boy said, smiling with his oh-so-kawaii smooth lips.
":Sasuke-kun!" Hinata said as she stood up when Sasuke hugged her. She hadn't been able to see him the past days since that day under the rain.
The other boys exchanged odd momentary look with Sasuke, so fast, Hinata didn't notice.
Meanwhile
Naruto is blazing with fury as he saw Kiba with Hinata. When Gaara came and he saw Hinata's blushing as she said something, it even made him…what? Jealous he think…?
'But why would I be jealous?" He asked his self.
He looked at Kakashi and Sakura who was currently talking to him about senseless things he couldn't understand. YUP, he couldn't understand because he's too preoccupied with his thoughts and Hinata.
Everytime Kakashi and Sakura asked him, all he does is nod or shook his head without thinking first. Like when Sakura asked him,
"What's you're favorite ramen again, Naruto-kun?"
In which he answered with a nod, as the couple tried to suppress their laughter.
Nevertheless, it's good that he's too lost in thoughts that he didn't see they were making fun of him.
He looked at Hinata again, and saw Shino, Neji, Lee and lastly Sasuke who looked like he just arrived. His cerulean eyes widened when Sasuke hugged Hinata and the latter stood up to hugged him back.
He scowled as he felt like a horse has kicked his chest.

Upon seeing Naruto's pained look , Sakura immediately looked at Kakashi. The hidden message were clearly written in her eyes saying, 'Hey, we got to start'
"Is everybody here?" Kakashi asked loudly. In which the others answered with a "Hai!"
"okay, let's start! Go to your respective places. Konohamaru and Hanabi you're first in the line. Next-" Kakashi continued until he said, "Naruto and Hinata next to Shikamaru and Temari. Then my lovely bride, will be in the end of the line" Kakashi said giving a wink to Sakura. The pink-haired kunoichi giggled.
"To those who have partners, boys, intercross your arm with your partners." The copy ninja continued. He tried not to notice the stupid question on his mind on why does he should be the one who have to do that so embarrassing thing? Then he thought, the answer is simple… He loves Sakura.
"Boys? We're already men!" he heard Shikamaru hissed in denial. Temari, in return, looked at him, gave him a wink and then chuckled. Shikamaru rolled his eyes.
On the other hand, Naruto looked so relieved that he's already beside Hinata. At first, his initial reaction is to not talk to her remembering that she let herself got hugged by Sasuke. But upon hearing her sweet voice, everything seemed already okay for him. They were both blushing madly as they walked arm in arm.
The blonde boy, as they walked into the aisle, suddenly got an image passed his mind.
Him, waiting for Hinata, as she walks toward him with her beautiful long gown and veil. His heart started to beat so fast again.
"Naruto-kun!" he heard Hinata shouted. As he woke up in his dream, it's already too late. He already bumped into Shikamaru and Temari who immediately stopped at Kakashi's signal. He touched his forehead that he first bumped into the two and said, "AWW!"
--
"Break time!" Kakashi yelled as he approached Sakura. The others shouted in glee as they went outside the chapel.
Naruto looked at Hinata who was standing beside him. He was about to ask her to eat with him when Ino called him.
"Naruto!" he looked at the noisy blonde girl.
"Ino! Oi, is it true that the rehearsals was postponed because of you?" Naruto asked. Ino gave him a frown.
"Eh! Couldn't come?" Ino muttered looking rather perplexed.
"yeah! Kakashi and Sakura told us! So? Why couldn't you come again?" Naruto asked scowling at her. Ino sweatdropped.
'Urgh! That's why I hated that two! GRR! And you, dumb ass Naruto! Why did you have to be so dense! If you aren't dense then I wouldn't have to be scrutinized by you! Darn!' Ino thought as she tried to smile sweetly.
"Oh! I couldn't come because my mother is sick! Yeah! She's too sick she couldn't get up in her bed!"
"Eh! I thought you have to help your mother in the flower shop? That means she isn't sick right?" Naruto asked her again. She saw Sakura and Kakashi standing at the back of Naruto, glaring at her as if saying, "Screw this, and you're dead meat!"
"Naruto, bakamono! That's why I have to help in the flower shop! Because she's sick! Why would I if she wasn't? You're really a dumb ass!" she almost yell in frustration.
Naruto raised his left eyebrow as he said, "Oh… I see"
He looked beside him and didn't found Hinata. He panicked and his eyes instantly searched for the white-eyed girl. He blinked a couple of times as she saw her with 'them' again.
He glared at Ino and saw that she disappeared too. He clenched his fist as he thought, 'This is your fault, Ino!'

Hinata looked at the boys standing around her. Just a while ago, Sasuke came into her and told her to eat with him, reasoning out that he didn't see him in almost a week and he's already missing him. She looked at Naruto first who was talking to Ino, before she succumbed to Sasuke's invitation. She was surprised though when the other boys came into her as well.
She was wondering why they suddenly got so attentive of her. Sasuke, Kiba, Shino, Gaara, Neji and even Lee! Kiba always asked her if she wants some drinks or if she's hungry. Sasuke also asked the same, much worse because he even attempted to wipe her sweat. She almost pinched his cheeks at his so-not-Sasuke behavior. Shino suddenly got out if his stoic behavior and began talking about training and all that. He even told her he could let her see his eyes much to Hinata's surprise. Same goes for Gaara and her cousin Neji who had his cheery attitude back at home, changed into something distinctly creepy. She was thinking it wouldn't get any spine-chilling until Lee tried to feed her with his own chopsticks! That made her wondered what happened to his obsession toward Sakura. They didn't know how much they frightened her that she was thinking that maybe they were sick or got infected by a very strong virus. She was so frustrated of them that she wanted to shout, "For Pete's sake! Leave me alone!". She even wanted to cry for help!
'Naruto-kun… Please save me…' she thought silently as she looked at the loud-mouthed ninja who was glaring at the boys around her.
"Nee Hina-chan, you want me to sing for you?" Kiba chirped that she couldn't do anything but to hunch her shoulders down.
'What wrong had I done to deserve this…?'

If only looks can kill, those boys around Hinata would already be dead by now with the glare a certain blonde gave them. Naruto was wondering why he was feeling that way… Why does he want her to be with him always? Why does he want her to don't look with other guys except him? Why does it hurt when he saw her with other man? Why did he suddenly think that those people, who are his friends, are harmful for her?
'Why do I want her to be mine? Mine? Mine?' he thought. When did he learn to become selfish? He is afraid that somebody would take her away from him permanently… He is afraid that he will have to live without her…
Darn…
When did he learn to get afraid…?
He was thinking of living without her and it made him wanted to cry. He was thinking of how difficult it is to see her with other man and he wanted to die… He was thinking of becoming Hokage without her beside him and he suddenly felt incomplete…
Now wait…Where did that come from?
He thought being Hokage will make him complete… that was his dream since he was a kid… Now he's thinking that even if he did became Hokage, it will be incomplete without her? Where the hell did that come from? He tried thinking of having her with his side and not making Hokage. And oddly…he felt complete…
Then it hit him… hard…
Hinata is his dream…
Hinata is the only one that can make him complete…
She is the only one that can bring him peace and true happiness…
She is the only one who can hurt him so much…
She is the only person he wanted…
She is his happiness…
She is a part of him…
Hinata is his life…
Without her… he is nothing…
Without her…he is empty…
Without her…he is incomplete…
Without her… he will rather die…
Hinata is his soul… his life… his heart…
The only girl he loves…
Hyuuga Hinata…
The realization of him loving her suddenly opened a lot of mixed emotions… He suddenly wanted to cry… he suddenly wanted to laugh… he suddenly wanted so much… to hug her…to kiss her… to make her his…
Naruto looked at her again and made a decision… He will tell Hinata that he loves her…
