Chapter 7
Naruto turned the corner to find Kiba (and Akamaru), Shino, and Hinata standing there. Well it was really more of Shino and Hinata standing since Kiba was on the ground scrambling to gather flowers scattered here and there, "I'm really sorry Hinata-Chan". Kiba whined as he scooped the plants into a nearby bag.
"What's going on here?" asked Naruto taking in Hinata's reddened face and Kiba's haste. Naruto blinked was it just him or was Hinata glaring at Kiba?
"N-Naruto" stuttered Hinata as she looked at the blond (yes I know it's cliché but hey it works). "I, I..."
"I totally knocked Hinata-chan over I mean I didn't even see her until" Kiba scrambled for an excuse. Hinata turned towards Kiba once more.
"geeze Kiba what did poor Hinata-chan do to you?" Naruto teased, as he shook his head in disappointment.
"Baka like you are any better. At least at least I'm not a baka dobe like you!
"Shut up Kiba!" snapped Hinata. Both boys (a/n except Shino, since when has he shone emotion?) turned to Hinata in complete disbelief at what the very timid girl had just said. "I will not hear you speaking to Naruto-kun that way." she said starting out loudly and slowly dissipating into her usual tone. Kiba flinched and Akamaru whined and hid behind his master. The young Hyuga opened her mouth to continue, but suddenly turned in the opposite direction and ran off leaving her bag behind.
"Hinata, wait!" Naruto called after her, he hadn't a clue as to what had just happened. "I better check on her" he called to the girl's teammates as he headed after her.
"What was that?" asked Kiba still in shock. Shino looked at him and shrugged.
"Probably her time of month" he responded speaking for the first time since Naruto had come.
'I think I rather prefer Kureani sensei and her mood swings.' thought Kiba with a shiver.
Hinata could feel something warm and wet drip down her lip as she ran. She contemplated on her loss of control in front of Naruto and her own team.
Almost everyone has an inner self, full of theirs hopes, dreams, hate, and thoughts they couldn't bare to express in the outside world. Hinata had learned while growing up to bottle up her anger, fear, and stress into her inner self and to never let the unsightly emotions show them selves...it was "unbecoming of a Hyuga" the elders had said. But she couldn't bottle them up permanently and may Kami-sama be with whoever was around when they reared their ugly heads. Hinata usually took out her frustrations on a pillow in her room or while she was training. Generally she would keep a diary (courtesy of Kureni -sensei) of her emotions and did her best to hide them. These were her only escape with out the elders breathing down her neck, but now both her team and her crush had gotten a good glimpse at the emotions she tried so hard to hide. Her mind went back to the reason for the whole fiasco in the first place.
flash back
Hinata had been out in the meadow and was on her way home She was in a hurry to get the flowers in her bag pressed before they wilted. Her goal or 'mission' was to make a book containing imprints of flower, and herbs, explaining how to care for them and what each one was good for.
Naruto's 17th birthday was coming up soon and she had heard from Sakura that Naruto had a love for plants. Sakura had mentioned that since Naruto went from house to house when he was really little that flowers and plants gave him hope, it was something he could look at no matter where he was put.
Hinata thought her gift would be just the thing for him and would be useful to him as a ninja as well. She had gathered the herbs and flowers all day, going all over Konaha to get what was needed. Once she had finished she had gone to the Yamanaka flower shop. Ino had asked no questions since Hinata was a regular customer often buying flowers to press in her diary. Finally happy with her findings she had headed for home passing by few tea houses along the way.
"Hey did yah hear? Namikaze Raion is back!" said an excited voice. Hinata's stopped she knew she shouldn't eavesdrop but she knew very little about Naruto's aunt. She placed her bag down to hear the conversation.
"You mean that whore" Asked a feminine voice with a spiteful tone.
"Hmmm, you never did like that Namikaze girl did you?"
"That's putting it lightly, the little bitch always seemed to get whatever she wanted just because she was the Hokage's sister, She's also the reason I never got a hold of Kakashi." At this point Hinata was sure she heard a fork being stabbed into the table.
"There she goes again…" mumbled the first voice.
"Well think about it this way, she defied the Councils orders and protected that….that motherless bastard…"
"You mean the kid that the nine tailed fox is sealed into…uh Naruto I think,"
"Who cares what his name is! But keep it down Meushi, the fifth will have your head if she hears you said that not to mention in public!"
Hinata tore herself fretfully away from the conversation and realized that tears were making their way don her cheeks she quickly dried her eyes and tore off towards the Hyuga estate. She paid little attention to her surroundings despite all training so she didn't notice her two team mates running in her direction until Kiba was practically sitting on her. "Get the fuck off me!" she yelled angrily.
end flash back
Naruto followed Hinata at a safe distance not wanting to scare her off. In all the years Naruto had known her, Hinata had always seemed like a skittish creature never one to speak unless spoken too, or when it was absolutely necessary. So her hidden temper came as quite a surprise to him. As said girl continued to run Naruto noticed she was heading towards the hospital. At first Naruto merely thought she was there to visit someone, but as he continued to follow, she made her way to the patient's garden instead. He lost sight of her as he entered the little garden but found her sitting by a small koi pond.
"If you want a fish they have a lot of them at the market." he said "coolly" (AN: or so he thinks lol) as he jumped from his spot up in a nearby tree. Hinata started as she turned.
SPLASH
"Na-Naruto-kun!" Hinata stuttered. Naruto rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly he had attempted to catch Hinata before she could fall into the little pond only to pull both her in after himself.
"Sorry Hinata…" said Naruto, attempting to apologize, suddenly he went rigid and he slowly put his hand into the back of his jacket and pulled out a koi fish. Naruto could only blink as Hinata bust into laughter.
"Naruto quickly stood up as her laugher died down and helped Hinata up throwing the fish back into the pond. He watched it swim away before turning back to the girl, and found her wringing out her long bluish black hair into the puddle beneath her. It was then that the reason he had followed her came back into mind.
"Uh Hinata are you aright?" he asked nervously, "I mean from what happened earlier," he added. Hinata bit her lip. She had worked hard to eliminate what her family called "the finger twitch". Instead she had developed new trait… lip biting. Well it could have been worse; she could have had nail biting. (a/n no offence to anyone out there. If it makes you feel better I bite my lips while kagome365gunned down) Naruto looked at the shy girl carefully sued to her avoiding his eyes and her curios habit.
"I-I'm f-fine N-Naruto-kun" lied Hinata. She now thanked Kami for her stuttering around the boy she was a horrid liar but her usual stuttering covered that up" (An: this means for those who are confused that she stutters when she lies and when she's nervous )
Naruto gave her a pointed look "you don't have to lie Hinata-chan…"Hinata flinched.
"Listen," Naruto said as he adjusted his headband, "While I was out training with Ero-senin I learned a lot one of the things I was able to pick up was how to read people I haven't been wrong yet so…what's wrong?"
"N-Naruto there's nothing" she started but he cut her off.
"Don't you trust me Hinata?" he asked sadly his voice growing quiet.
"Of course I do Naruto-kun I've always trusted you!" she hurriedly reassured him. "The truth is that I haven't had a very good day and I heard some…things about…someone that upset me…" she trailed off.
"Well that's a relief, I mean not about the rumor but I was terrified you were mad at me some how..." Hinata blinked how could he ever believe she was angry with him? Suddenly she sneezed. "Oh gees Hina-chan gomen nasai! I made you stand out here soaking wet! Come with me lets go get you dried off." Hinata stared at him did he just call her Hina-chan? Then to her further surprise Naruto scooped her up into his arms and headed off towards his apartment.
"Naruto kun!", squeaked Hinata as her feet left the ground.
She remembered being in his apartment when he came back from his two year training. Hinata (after seeing Naruto) went to his house to apologize for the miss-communication.
mini flashback
She had found the door unlocked and worriedly entered thinking that some one had broken in. She had heard some noise near the bathroom and used byakugan to check who it was…then fainted (Can you guess what she saw lol) Luckily for her the sound of the shower starting drowned out the thud. As Hinata regained consciences she heard the door opening and quickly hid in the closet until Naruto had fallen asleep.
end mini flashback
Naruto set Hinata down when they reached the door of his apartment and knocked, mumbling something about forgetting his keys. The door was opened by Raion, she stood there staring for a moment before cursing "God-damn it how did you manage to get a girl before I got a guy?" she said angrily before glaring at the sky "Damn you Nii-san this is all your fault!"
"Uh Raion-obasan…..."Naruto tried to cut in.
"If you think for a minute" Raion said suddenly, glaring at Naruto "that I'll let you come in here and have sex, then are deeply mistaken mister! I will NOT be held responsible for a teen pregnancy. Naruto's face reddened and Hinata promptly passed out. Raion blinked when she realized that Hinata was no longer conscience then turned solely on Naruto "Don't you dare take advantage of her baka!" she growled. The embarrassment was too much for Naruto and he to fainted.
"………………………………………."
Naruto woke up with a start and for a moment didn't recognize where he was. He sat up and it all came back to him at that same moment he became aware that he was in dry clothing...with clean dry boxers underneath.
'How'd I get dressed?' he wondered.
"………………uhg Raion-OBASAN!!" he yelled as he jumped up and off the bed he had been laying on.
"Oh relax gaki." sighed Raion as she stepped into the room. "It's not like it's the first time I've seen you undressed. When you were little I used to take you to the hot springs with me all the time, not to mention the baths I've given you."
"Yah when I was little!" yelled Naruto in exasperation. "Hey where's Hina-chan?" he added after a second.
"Hina-chan?" Raion rose an eye brow and Naruto blushed under her scrutiny.
Raion laughed "she's fine" she stared to say but Naruto paid her no mind and rushed into the hallway and straight into Hinata"
"Na-Naruto," stuttered the poor girl as she began to blush.
"Ah gomen Hina-chan" the boy apologized scrambling off of her and helping her stand. Naruto noticed as he was helping her up that Hinata was no longer wearing her usual clothing, but was instead wearing a pair of dark blue short shorts and an orange pull over hoodie jacket. It took him a moment to realize that the jacket and shorts were his. He looked over to his aunt.
"Gomen Naruto, I couldn't find a bigger shirt for her that was very warm. I think she's catching a cold." said Raion, as she came out of the bedroom. Naruto looked away embarrassedly and spotted boxers on a chair drying.
"Uh I had better walk you home," he said hurriedly he was sure that if Hinata was around his dear Aunt any longer he would die from embarrassment. He pulled her towards the door. "Maybe you should make up with Iruka-sensei that way you don't have to spend your free time finding ways to embarrass me Raion-obasan" he called before he closed the door three thumps were heard on the other side and the tip of a kunai made its way through near the door nob.
"Naruto-kun...i-is Raion-san angered with Iruka-sesei?" Hinata asked timidly.
Naruto gave her a smile, glad that her stuttering was starting to diminish. "ah" he nodded "You know how it goes, they had a lovers spat or something" he shrugged. Hinata stared confusedly. Suddenly Naruto stopped "oh no!" he exclaimed "Hina-chan we forgot your cloths!"
"Ano…its ok Naruto-kun...you could just give them to me tomorrow" Hinata said biting her lip.
Nauto opened his mouth to thank her but froze when he felt a kunai pressed firmly against his neck.
"Would you mind, Naruto-kun, explaining to me why Hinata-hime is wearing your cloths? asked a angered voice.
"Neji-ni-san" yelled Hinata in shock (An: sure is a day for surprises isn't it?)
"H-hey Neji." Naruto gulped he had forgotten how protective Hinata's family seemed to be of her! (An: anyone one remember the spoon?) "I-I can explain really it's not what you think!" Naruto scrambled to clear his name.
"Isn't that a BIT extreme Neji-nii-san?", said a reasonable voice. They all turned there heads, (Naruto carefully as not to decapitate himself) and found Hinabi standing under the arch way of the entrance gates. She wore a violet jacket with the Hyuga crest stitched on the back proudly proclaiming her heritage. "I mean you don't even know what's happened and besides wouldn't that be beneficial to you."(AN: please don't say I have to explain what That is lol)
Neji froze with a thoughtful look on his face.
'Naruto Hinata "together " Naruto as the next head of clan', he thought strategically. (AN: sorry but I can soo see Neji's strategy thinking like this)'Naruto as clan head promise to change clan promise completely plausible' He concluded he started to pull away from Naruto when another thought crossed his mind, 'But Hiashi-sama will totally KILL me if Hinata is being pursued romantically without his permission. Neji argued the two points for a few more moments before deciding to let Naruto slide…for now. He pulled the kunai away and replaced it in it's proper pouch'
"Ver well Naruto-kun you may go for now' a creepy smile made its way onto his face causing a shiver to run down every ones spine. "How ever I expect you to be very respectfull to Hinata-hime am I clear Naruto-kun?
"Naruto nodded in immediate submition "Hai hai Neji! Of course!"
"Hinabi sighed Neji could be so stubborn sometimes.
"Oh and Naruto " Nei added as almost an afterthought, "Before I forget Sakura-chan asked me to give this to you." He said as he handed a folded piece of paper to Naruto who took it and carefully opened it. It read:
Naruto,
We're having a training session with Kakashi-sensei it's a really long time so get your butt there quickly
Love,
Sakura
Naruto shrugged as he placed the note in his jacket and looked at Hinata. "I better go Sakura-chan won't like it if I'm late!"
"Hinata's confidence immediately deflated once sakura was mentioned
"H-hai" she replied her stuttering returning "S-s you t-t-tomorrow Na-naruto-kun" She replied dejectedly" He gave her a curious look before dashing off"
Sakura shiged as she looked at her watch for the fifth time. She glanced up to see Naruto asleep on the grass near the post.
"Wake up baka! If you catch a freaken cold I'm not going to treat you!."she yelled smaked Naruto over the head.(No we are not trying to bash sakura as she is one of our favorites Naruto's just being stupid and she's like an over protective older sister)
"I'm up I'm up what I miss?!", yelled Naruto as he jolted awake and into a fighting stance. Sasuke smirked over the book he was reading.
"Nothing much dickless" muttered Sai as he stretched from where he had been napping against a near by tree.
"What you reading Sasuke-teme?" asked Naruto as he tried grabbing hold of the book (and ignoring Sai.(God severe ADD I swear and I should know I HAVE ADD-Kagome365)
"Slow as always dobe" snickered Sasuke as he showed Naruto the cover.
"How to deal with blonde idiots…"Sai read out loud over Naruto's shoulder.
"……..HEY!!."Naruto screamed as he realized what Sasuke was implying.
"What? Finally admitting what a dobe you are aho?
"Jakamashi! Don't call me that teme", Naruto yelled as he launched himself at the boy, but before he could hit him Sakura yanked him back and threw him ten feet in the opposite direction.
"I just broke you up and now you're at it again? Can't you two go ten minutes without fighting?" She then looked at each of them in turn "Naruto quit randomly attacking Sasuke,… and Sasuke QUIT antagonizing Naruto!" she ordered. "If you two can't stop I will castrate you both!!" she growled harshly then promptly sat down to wait for there sensei.
"Then you really will be dickless" snickered Sai. Sakura glared at him causing him to shut up.
Surprisingly (well maybe not so much with that threat hanging over their heads) all three boys stayed subdued.
Luckily they didn't have to wait much longer because twenty minutes later Kakashi and Yamato came ambling slowly up the path.(AN:it's not long in kakashi time at least lol)
"Kakashi sensei you're late!" yelled Sakura as she gave the man a glare that sent shivers down his and Yamato's spines.
"Uh yah well about that you see Yamato-san and I got los…"
"Please spare us your lame excused" grumbled Sasuke as he rolled his eyes.
"Kakashi sighed and looked forlornly at the ground.
Yamato coughed and changed the subject "Now then,…It's been a while since we have seen you all spar together as you have all been training alternatively under different sensei's so today we are going to put you in pairs then switch off halfway through. Kakashi nodded distractedly in agreement
"Ah so Sai you go against…. Sasuke and Naruto…"He realed off and waved his hand as iff it would finish his sentence for him.
Yamato gave his idol an exasperated sigh.
"With Sakura, now ready? Fight!" he finished. " (AN: I'm really sorry but neither Min-chan nor I have the patience to type out everything that happened in the spare as it has little to do with the plot if some one would like to type up what happened though and send it to us we would be glad to add it in and of course give credit where credit is due! XD)
Three hours later all four teens lay on the ground utterly exhausted. "So Kakashi-sensei have we improved any?" Naruto asked eagerly.
"What?" asked Kakashi as he looked up and crumpled up a wrapper in his hand. They looked at Yamato who was staring at Kakashi his jaw seemingly touching the ground. They followed his gaze to the ground only to see multiple wrappers discarded all over the place.
"Uh Kakashi-sensei?" asked Sakura and Naruto worriedly.
"She dumped me! I've never been dumped!" blubbered Kakashi as he grabbed on to Yamato's sleeve and blew his nose into it.(AN: remember Kakashi is not in love with Raion it's just that he has always been the lady's man he never had a problem with a girl breaking up with him. It comes as a shock to him!)
'shit I had to wear my favorite shirt' thought Yamato .
Kagome365: And that's a rap for now!
