Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!


Me and Naruto-kun were sound asleep when I was awakened by Sakura.

"Geez Sakura! I was enjoying my nap with Naruto when you woke me up! What's wrong anyways?" I asked, annoyed of the disturbance.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to mess with you. Hey-did you just speak without stuttering?" she asked, having a suprised expression on her face.

"I did? I guess I didn't notice." I said.

"Why were you sleeping next to Naruto?" Sakura asked with a smirk on her face.

"N-nothing. Nothing at all." I murmured quickly and hid my tomato-red face.

"Okay. I'll take your word for it." Sakura said with a grin.

Naruto awoke and asked ,"Is it morning yet?"

"N-no, N-Naruto-kun. You've only been asleep for an hour." I said in my usual shy tone.

"Hey! What happened to that confident, not stuttering Hinata I was talking to a few minutes ago?" Sakura boasted.

"Wait. What? Hinata didn't stutter when she was talking to you?" Naruto asked.

"Yea! For the first time ever,she actually didn't stutter." Sakura remarked.

"Wow. I wish I could've seen it happen. The festival is going to be over soon so, I guess I'll take Hinata somewhere." Naruto said, grabbing my hand and dragging me.

"Those two are pretty strange ,but they sure are a cute couple." Sakura whispered.

"Hey! We heard that!" We shouted in unison.

"Heard what? I didn't say anything!" Sakura said trying to sound innocent. We just ignored her and walked out.

Naruto brought me to my favorite place- The Flower Fields. This was the field where we first met each other.


I was picking some tulips when someone grabbed my arms.

"We got you now, princess." a ninja boasted.

"Hold it right there, you bitches! Give Hinata back to me or else." Naruto said in a threatening tone.

"Naruto-kun, please save me!" I yelled. Then, the ninja knocked me unconcious.

"Hinata-chan!" Naruto screamed.

Naruto threw some kunai at the ninja ,who was holding me, and he was nailed to a tree. He seemed to be the leader of the attackers. Naruto grabbed me and made shadow clones. The real Naruto held me ,while the others attacked the rogue ninjas. When I awoke, I was in Naruto's arms.

"Naruto-kun, thank you for saving me." I said with a slight blush.

"It's no problem, princess." he said with a smile.

"Umm N-Naruto, can I ask you to do a favor for me?" I asked.

"Sure. What do you need?"

"C-can you put me down now?" I asked.

"Ohh, sorry. I forgot that I was holding you." He said. It was obvious that he was embarassed because he had a stupid expression on his face.

After Naruto killed all of the ninja, we went back to the village. We ran into Sakura at a booth in the festival. Naruto talked to Kiba and Shino while, Sakura pulled me a few feet away from them.


"So, what happened in the forest?"

"I-I was kidnapped by a bunch of rogue ninjas."

"Did Naruto saved you?"

"Of course he did!"

"Hey, you're not stuttering again."

"Yea, so?"

"Hmm. It's just strange that you don't stutter whenever we talk about Naruto or when he's near you."

"Ehhhh... No I dont!"

"Yes you do! You like him, don't you?"

"No I don't!"

"C'mon, admit it! You like him!"

"Ok! Ok! I'll admit that I like him. Are you happy now?"

"I knew it!"

"You sound like Ino right now, Sakura." I said with a smirk. Sakura responded by rolling her eyes.

I thought about what I said. I guess these feelings that I have around Naruto are in fact, Love. " I like Naruto. I like Naruto. "I repeated in my mind.

"Earth to Hinata! Hinata, are you still breathing?"Sakura asked waving her hand in front of my face.

"Huh? What? Where am I?"I asked.

"You're at Konoha in the lantern festival." Sakura said.

"How long was I daydreaming?" I asked.

"Hmm, about 10 hours." she said.

"What? Ten hours? That's not possible."

"I was just kidding. You've been out for 10 seconds."

I gave a sigh of relief and Naruto came over.

"Let's go home. It's getting late." he said.

"H-hai, Naruto-kun." I said without glancing at him.

We waved good-bye to our friends and walked towards the forest again. Little did they know that Neji was spying on them and was the one who sent the rogue ninjas.


-At the palace-

Neji reported to Hiashi.

"Hiashi, it seems that the friendship between Hinata and one of your servants is becoming really close. I suggest that you should send some more ninjas to spy on them, just in case somthing might happen between those two." Neji said.

"I don't think that is necessary because Hinata knows well enough that she is not allowed to marry a peasant, but you can send some ninjas if you'd like to." Hiashi replied without looking at his nephew. Neji bowed and left Hiashi's office. "You better watch out, Naruto." Neji whispered.

Naruto and I returned to the Flower Field again. I picked some tulips as Naruto watched me with a smile on his face, which I noticed. "I wonder if he loves me too." I thought. I smiled back to Naruto, who blushed, which also made me blush.

"Hey Hinata, are you ok? You're turning red." Naruto said.

"No, I'm fine ,but are you ok?" I asked him.

"You're turning red too!" I exclaimed and we started laughing. I was so nervous that I started snorting.

"Hinata, you're laughing too hard." Naruto said. Then, my face turned a billion shades of red.

"Naruto, you meanie!" I said and we laughed again. We gazed at the stars above us. Then, Naruto turned his attention away from the stars to me. I blushed ,but he just smiled. Suddenly, I felt Naruto's lips on mine. "Yes! I got a kiss from Naruto!" I thought. The kissed stopped when a kunai flew at me but, Naruto pushed me just before the kunai reached my forehead.

"Baka! You weren't suppose to aim for the princess!" Deidara yelled to his partner.

"Well, I could've gotten better aim if you moved your head, Deidara-senpai." Tobi playfully yelled back.

"Why do you people keep stalking us?" Naruto shouted.

"Because that's what we were payed to do! un." Deidara said.

"Whatever! You're still going to pay for trying to hurt my princess!" Naruto screamed back.

"Naruto said my princess. I'm his princess?" I thought. This made my face turn 18 different colors and I fainted.

"Hinata, wake up!" Naruto said as he frantically shook my unconcious body.

"I guess I'll have to save her again." Naruto sighed. He kissed me again and to his relief, I woke up.

"Wow. I didn't think that would work."he said.

"What worked?" I said with a puzzled expression on my face.

"Uhh, nothing. It was nothing." He said. He was careful this time not to say anything that'll make me faint again. Deidara, who was still yelling at Tobi, was too distracted to see Naruto's shadow clones attacking them with the rasenshuriken. The attack was so strong that it slammed the ninjas into trees and the trees split in half. However, they weren't dead.

"Are you ok, milady?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, I'm fine." I said and I blushed slightly. Naruto started breathing heavily. I grew worried and activated my byakugan.

"Oh no! His chakra is running low, his arm is broken, and his hand is suffering from limited cellular damage! " I put the exhausted boy's arm around my shoulder and we ran back to the village. When I arrived at the Konoha hospital, Naruto fainted and a team of medic-nin immediately tended to him. Shizune questioned me about how Naruto was injured.

"We were attacked and Naruto defended me by using the rasenshuriken." I explained.


"But Princess Hinata, that move was marked a kinjutsu by Tsunade!" Shizune said. Tears started rolling down my face.

"I know. It's my fault. He was only trying to defend me." I said.

"You shouldn't blame yourself princess." She said.

Naruto awoke and said, "Shizune is right, Hinata-chan. Please don't be sad anymore."

"Gomen, Naruto." I said. He pulled me close and kissed my forehead.

"I'll be ok. I promised to never die until I was hokage and I'm going to keep it." Naruto said as he gave me his trademark smile.

"Arigatou, Naruto-kun for saving me again and for sorry for making you run back and forth." I said. I kissed his cheek and he blushed. I stayed by his side until he fell asleep. I was also getting tired so, I layed on the bed next to him and closed my eyes.
