Arashi: Had a bit of a writer's block for this story. Thanks for all the alerts on this story. *bows* I know doing other stories not a smart idea but got a few good ideas along the way. The team friendship for Team 7 will be farther down the line not off the bat. Only hints of the past events that made them slightly closer but that's all.
Disclaimers-Don't own Naruto and never will *pouts*
'Thoughts'
Italic for Naruto talking to Kyuubi
Bold for Kyuubi talking to Naruto
---Flashbacks---
*Time changes*
-Pov-
Recap:
Naruto nod as he grabs her hands with his as he called out to the three occupants in the room. "I'm going to take Hinata-chan home then going myself. Later Shizune, Granny Tsunade, Pervy Sage see you guys in a couple of days if not tomorrow."
Hinata's blush deepens as she heard the blond say "Hinata-chan." She let out soft of appreciation that she's acknowledging by her crush. Naruto pulled her out of the tower towards the Hyuuga Clan house in the middle of the village near the Uchiha district.

Thoughts of a blond kitsune
-Naruto's pov-
At the corner of my eye, Hinata reminds me of a goddess in the moonlight. Her pale skin seems to shine beautifully causing my heart to pick up speed. I really don't know why I called her Hinata-chan but it felt rather right then saying it to Sakura. What did that baka fuzzy ball meant by that comment earlier?
Sure I have up the mask that hides my true self but I let that side of me out piece by piece hoping no one catches on. I could feel the soft lavender eyes glance at me rather shyly. If that stupid fox was awake he would have been teasing me. I turn to the girl next to me wondering why she seems to stutter at times when ever I'm around.
"Hinata, are we getting near your house?" I ask quietly since it is dark and many would love to hurt me.
I don't want anything to happen to the girl besides me. Even though she seems delicate she's not but rather a jewel that needs a bit of patience to get farther. She tilts her head slightly causing her bluish black bangs to fall into her eyes. I had the urge to push the bangs back and felt rather confuse by the feeling.
She stare at the compound a few feet a head of them, then turns to mw. She replies hoping not to stutter, "It is, Naruto-kun. Thanks for wa-alking me home."She walks inside the doors turning back to wave at me and I smile at her causing that cute blush to darken a bit on her cheeks.
I have to admit she does look cute with the blush and that stutter is adorable. I shook my head while walking back to my apartment when I saw my two teammates stare at me. I glance at them wondering what is with the surprise look on their faces. Was Sasuke smiling or smirking?
Sakura spoke for the two of them getting Sasuke to glare at her. "Are you and Hinata going out?"
My eyes widen in surprise as warmth graze my cheeks. "Hinata and I are only friends"
Sasuke shook his head at out pink hair team mate before grunting out annoyed with no one in general. "Just be at the training field tomorrow dobe."
My teeth grind a bit at the dobe comment. At times I want to beat that teme into the ground to show no one has to kiss the very ground he walks. He stalks off getting Sakura to pout and call after him. I swore he shivers lightly at her voice. It's something to ask that bastard about that probably after training or something. What does Hinata mean to me? This thought seems to plague my mind since I saw her in the hokage office.
Sure she's strange but cute at the same time. Her eyes the lightest of lavender that makes her eyes shine when she's happy. I hate it when she's hurt or sad though I don't know why though. She seems to look up to me for a reason that I can't explain. Seeing her smile takes my breath away and feels weird when I'm not around her. What is going on with me?
