Ch. 2 of my story. A bit shorter but still good! Please review!


At these words, Hinata felt tears streaming out of her eyes, but she continued reading on. "This relationship won't work... unless I felt the same way. Hinata, this night opened my eyes to what a kind, beautiful person you have and always will be. I love you, and I want to be with you. I known this is a bit soon, but I'm a hyperactive ninja. It's what I do. I hope we can go out more, and I have one last thing to ask you... Will you be my girlfriend? Simply, Naruto." Hinata's tears of sadness became ones of bliss. "Of course Naruto. I love you too." With that, she wiped the tears from her eyes, and went to sleep, replaying the entire night in her head over and over, until she finally feel asleep at the exact moment she remembered their first kiss.

The next morning, she awoke, trying to remember if the last night was real. In the corner of her eye, she spotted the note that he had written. "It was real. All of it. He loves me, and wants to be with me. I have to tell him yes." she thought aloud, hurriedly changing into the outfit she usually wore and went looking for Naruto. "Hinata! How was the date?" asked Sakura. Hinata answered her with a summary of the whole night, from what they ate, to what they said, and to what they did. "That's great!" responded an excited Sakura. "The best part is that Naruto wrote me a note. It said everything that I would've hoped it did. He told me that he loves me and wants to be mine." Sakura was astounded, and began to tear up, finally being able to see her close friend Hinata with the man of her dreams. "That's wonderful. I'm happy for you. To believe that he could fall in love. That knuckle-head." sighed Sakura.

Hinata eventually found Naruto who was talking to Ino-Shika-Cho. "Good morning Naruto-kun." she told him, with a great confidence she never possessed before. "I think we'll go right you guys? Don't want to interrupt the young couple." said Ino, while Choji and Shikamaru followed suit.

"Good morning Hinata-hime. Are you tired from last night?" he asked. "Kind of. It was worth it though." she responded, smiling at him, whilst thinking how his question could have easily been taken out of context. "Oh! I forgot. Earlier today, I had our photo booth pictures copied so I can keep a sheet, and so that you can keep one. Here. These are the originals." he said, handing over the small strip of photos to her. "Thank you. Naruto, I read your note..." Naruto gulped, almost having forgotten that he had written one.

"What did you think?" he asked nervously. "I thought it was the best note I could have ever gotten, and to answer your question from the note. I don't think it was too fast, and I want to be with you as well. I love you Naruto." she told him, blushing a shade of red like she never has before. Naruto didn't even say a word, instead sealing the deal with a kiss, in front of a passing crowd, cheering them on. "Writing that note... was harder than my Sage training. It was all to be with you. I think we should tell the others that it's official, if that's okay with you." said Naruto after their kiss. "Of course Naruto-san." she said, changing the title she gave to him.

With that, they called upon every ninja that knew of their date to meet them at Ichiraku's Ramen Bar in an hour. Before they had to meet up, they went to their own homes and got their matching hats, as well as their pictures. When the time had arrived, Naruto and Hinata were at Ichiraku's where all they had told were. "Hey the daters are here!" pointed out Choji, to the applause of the others. They blushed when Hinata said, "You are all probably wondering why we have called you here. You all know that I went out on a date with Naruto yesterday."

At the mention of the date, the girls cheered, and the guys shouted. Even Neji, a big part of this ever happening, smiled, while Shino and Gaara followed suit. She continued. "Well, it was the best night of my life." "Awwww." said all of the girls, with the guys congratulating Naruto. Naruto took charge and said "It was the best night of my life, and it was so great, that I wrote Hinata a note. I told her how I feel. I love her, and I asker her to be with me. She said yes." When he finished talking, Hinata and Naruto pulled out their hats and put them on, further ensuing awws from the girls, and even some of the guys.

Naruto then put the copy of the pictures he took with her and placed them on the table. Everyone looked at them, laughing at the first three, becoming more interested in the fourth and fifth, and finally staring at the sixth picture, amazed at how much love could be seen in their young eyes on their first date. "It's official. We're a couple. If anyone has a problem with it, you can deal with me." said Naruto, full of a fiery desire to be with Hinata. "Or me." added Hinata, with the confidence he now felt when with him.

"Do not worry. We shall respect your love for each other." said Rock Lee with a wink, a thumbs up, and a glitter in his teeth. At those words, almost everyone burst into laughter but agreed to the conditions put forth by the new couple.

Their life continued as usual, continuing to go on dates and such, when one day, Naruto made a promise to Hinata. "Hinata-san. We have been together for three months, and I have this to say. I promise to marry you once I become Hokage, which shall be soon. Believe it! Even if I don't, I will marry you once I am worthy of you!" said Naruto, to an excited Hinata, unable to wait for that day to come, and knowing that it would come. After his promise, Hinata planted a kiss on his lips, as if though for the first time.
