A/N: Hey! I'm so happy! I got like 20 reviews the next morning after I just updated chapter 5! Cool…maybe this time I'll get 30? Haha…anyway, here's chapter 6! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Chapter 6 - Work

"So how's your work coming along?" asked Kiba as he started eating his ramen.

"Ooohh…everything's great!" Naruto managed to speak while 'devouring' his ramen.

"If I remember correctly, you work at a wine shop, right? But your work starts at 6:00 and ends at 10:00. And you still have to do homeworks and study. You hardly have any free time…" Kiba was kind of concerned about Naruto.

"Um…yeah." Naruto stopped eating his ramen for a bit. "But we leave school at 4:30 so I use the time before work to study and finish homeworks so I can sleep earlier. I just carry wine bottles and arrange stuff at the shop. It's not that tiring and the pay is good." Naruto started eating his ramen once again.

"But school starts at 7:30. And you are the type of person who needs more sleep than an average human being." Kiba chuckled a bit.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm some kind of alien?" Naruto raised his eyebrow.

"No…I didn't say anything like that." Kiba chuckled a bit more. "Anyway, fix your alarm clock, okay? You need the sleep. But make sure you wake up early enough to get to school just in time."

"Oh, alright…thanks for reminding me! By the way, why were you early today? That's not like you…" Naruto is starting on his second bowl of ramen.

"You would know?" Kiba spoke sarcastically. "This is the first time you actually got to school early. You have to thank me that you don't get detention slips. And you are lucky that Sir Iruka is our homeroom teacher, if it was another teacher, you'd get in so much trouble. I always told you about this but your mind is always preoccupied. I told you many times that I am a part of the student council." Kiba sighed and shook his head.

"Uhm…is that so? Haha…silly me…" Naruto was red of embarrassment.

"What is it that's always in your mind, anyway?" Kiba had a faint smile on his face, giving Naruto a hint. "Or should I say, WHO IS IT?"

"Kiba!" Naruto was still red. "Someone might hear you!"

"Oh, come on! Almost all of our classmates and teachers know that you are crazy about Sakura Haruno." Kiba laughed.

"Well…" Naruto was still blushing. "She might hear you!"

"Oh, come on! I'm pretty sure that she already has an idea about your feelings or she might already know about it a long time ago." Kiba laughed. "Anyway, she won't hear me, stupid."

"What?" Naruto was shocked but still as red as a tomato. "And what do you mean, she can't hear you?"

"It's not a big deal…what if she knows? It doesn't change a thing. You'll still like her." Kiba is chuckling now. "She is with the other girls. They are having a sleepover at her house right now. So don't worry, okay?"

"True…" Naruto was finishing his ramen now. It seems that he is not blushing anymore. "Anyway, how did you know about the sleepover?"

"Hinata told me about it. I was early this morning right? I usually go to school 15 minutes before classes start but today I came extra early because a meeting was supposed to take place. But it was cancelled." Kiba is also finishing his ramen.

"Oh…wow…you and Hinata are so close!" Naruto is having his third bowl of ramen. "I'm so jealous of you…cause you are so responsible." Naruto was smiling.

"Oh…yeah…" Kiba had a light blush on his face from Naruto's remark about him and Hinata. Naruto didn't manage to see it though. "Anyway, you are much more responsible than I am."

"No way, man. I can't even get to school on time. You have good grades." Naruto complimented.

"Hey, you work and manage your apartment room, you can maintain good grades and you are still cheerful." Kiba returned the compliment.

"Hehe…you think so?" Naruto laughed sheepishly as he finished his ramen.

"You think I'd lie?" Kiba smiled. Naruto just laughed.

Meanwhile, at Sakura's house…

"Hey girls, you think Neji will like me?" Tenten asked as she hugged a pillow.

"Of course Tenten! You are adorable!" Ino reassured.

"Really?" Tenten was blushing.

"Really! And I hope Shikamaru will like me too. I know he is lazy and stuff but I just don't know why…every time I see him, my heart just starts pounding and I just…I don't know…I like him…" Temari blushed.

"I know exactly what you feel. I just wonder when Sasuke would actually look at me and like me the way I like him." Sakura smiled.

"C'mon girls! Don't give up! Just don't overdo it okay? They don't want clingy girls." Ino cheered them on.

"Hey Sakura…I noticed this, but do you think Naruto likes you? I mean I always see him staring at you sometimes." Temari inquired.

"Uhm…I'm not actually sure about that…it's just that, I also see him staring at me sometimes…" Sakura was eating some cake.

"What if Naruto really likes you? What are you gonna do? Will you like him back?" Tenten was eager to know Sakura's answer.

"Well, I admit that he gets annoying at times but he is a really nice person." Sakura smiled. "I like Naruto but not the way I like Sasuke. Naruto is just a friend."

"Naruto would be heartbroken if he heard that." Ino laughed. "How about you Hinata? You've been too quiet."

"Oh…well…I…" Hinata was eating some cake.

"Well? Is there a certain boy that you like?" Temari asked while flipping some channels on the TV.

Hinata blushed. "Well…I don't think so…" Hinata just smiled. Suddenly, two boys popped in her mind. Those two boys were…Kiba and Naruto? She blushed.

"Oh, come on, Hinata, there is no need to keep it a secret from us." Tenten encouraged her.

"Really…there is no one right now." Hinata was still blushing from the thought of those two boys.

"Is that so? Okay then. But make sure to tell us when you have a crush on a boy okay?" Sakura smiled at Hinata and she just nodded and resumed on eating her cake.

"Sakura, why did you like Sasuke anyway? He is just a fool!" Ino sighed.

"C'mon Ino, don't say stuff like that." Sakura tried to stop Ino.

That night, the girls slept at 10 pm. Ino and Sakura argued about Sasuke. And they gossiped on some celebrities and some other stuff.

"Hey, I better get going now. I just have 15 minutes left before work starts. I don't want to be late. Thanks for the treat!" Naruto said as he rubbed his tummy from eating 5 servings of ramen.

"Alright then! Good luck and Take care. See you tomorrow pal." Kiba waved goodbye as Naruto started to head to the wine shop.

"Sure! Same to you!" Naruto waved back.

Naruto headed to work and Kiba started to walk home.

After Naruto finished his work, he headed home and finished his homeworks.

"Aaah! Today was tiring." Naruto sighed as he laid on his bed.

Naruto stared at his room's ceiling for a while and then he remembered something. He remembered the girl she met before he went to his room. The girl he actually bumped into.

'Now that I think about it, that girl this morning looked exactly like…Hinata Hyuuga.' Naruto thought to himself. 'Urgh! Darn it! How could I forget? That is why she looked so familiar. Besides, we've been classmates since junior high, how could I forget her? Well, since she rarely talks, she didn't make that great of an impact in my life…I guess…'

Naruto was frustrated because of his own stupidity. 'But now that I think about it, she looked pretty cute this morning.' Naruto realized what he was thinking and then slapped himself. 'What in the world was I thinking? I should only think of Sakura, and no one else…but I guess, Hinata was really cute back then…'

That night, Naruto kept on thinking about Hinata and Sakura. He is fighting with himself. [A/N: That's so stupid! Really now! But that happens to us sometimes, right? Haha]

Naruto sighed after 10 minutes of fighting with himself. 'Sakura, sweet dreams…and everyone too…and you too, Hinata…' And with that, Naruto drifted to sleep.

Well? What do you think about this chapter? Huh?

I don't think that'd happen right? Stay tuned for the next chapter!
