"Talking"

'Thinking'

Disclaimer No Jitsu

A/N: Sorry for the long wait, but recently I've been preparing for college: scholarships, testing ECT. and who knew that would be hell xD!

Hinata was walking along her favorite path in the school grounds. She was carrying her school bag, and she seemed to be in a hurry since her pace fastened. Just then, a big fuzzy white blob tackled said girl to the ground.

"Kyahh! A monster!" Hinata closed her eyes and yelled as the dog licked her up and down.

"EH!" Kiba was holding onto the dog's leash and was in a state of disbelief, because this kind of thing never happened. He blinked and when he saw Akamaru begin to hump his friend, he pulled his dog away from Hin. "Akamaru!"

Hinata placed her hands in between her legs and had a shocked expression on her face. 'Somehow I feel like I've been violated.'

"Now what's gotten into you, Akamaru?" He looked at his dog with a disappointed face. At this, Akamaru bowed his head down in shame and whined.

"A dog?…On school grounds?" Hinata tilted her head. she was dazed and confused at the same time.

"Heh, Akamaru here is the school's mascot," The brown haired boy rubbed Akamaru's fur, before continuing. "It took a lot to convince the school board, but it was worth it." He grinned.

"He's such a handsome dog." The girl stretched her hand out to pat the dog, and Kiba was surprised when Akamaru let her touch him. "Akamaru, is it?" A smile appeared on her face as she rustled the dog's fur.

"Y-yeah…" There was a light blush present on his face as he watched her smile.

"Oh! I forgot I have to meet Naruto-kun!" The lavender-eyed girl lifted herself up.

"Of course you do," Kiba rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

"J-Ja ne," She waved at him, before running off.

Kiba watched as she departed and then something hit him. "That's weird, besides me- Akamaru never lets any other guy touch him…" He turned to Akamaru, who in turn barked.

'That's because she's a woman,' the dog meant to say.

"Heh, I always thought Hin was kind of cute…Boy! That's a relief!" The boy chuckled to himself.

And so, Hinata returned to her search for Naruto. She smiled, when she noticed his fuzzy blonde head and began to run up to him. However, she stopped, when she noticed a girl talking to him. She was wearing a schoolgirl uniform that belonged to their neighboring school. She had short black hair and her eyes were staring into Naruto's as she talked.

"Ever since I saw you playing against our school, I couldn't stop thinking about you. You're really amazing!" She blushed and looked down, before continuing. "And I- um I really like you!"

"Huh!" Naruto's eyes widened and he was left speechless.

Hinata gasped and her heart began to ache. She dropped her bag with a "Thud!"

At the noise, Naruto turned and took notice of her. "Hin?"

To Hinata, it felt like her heart had just punched her in the gut. She panicked and decided she had to get out of there so she quickly picked up her bag and ran off.

"Oi, Hin! wait!" Naruto yelled and made to chase her, but then he remembered the girl in front of him. He gave her a sympathetic look before speaking. "You seem really nice…But there's someone else, I'm sorry," He bowed his head, and then ran to catch Hin.

'It really hurts!' Hinata thought as she closed her eyes tight and continued running. 'Why does this hurt so much? I, I should be happy for Naruto-kun.' She tried to make her tears stop from escaping, but she couldn't. The girl stopped in front of the railing that led to the stairs of her dormitory and took a deep breath, but her breathing became ragged and her tears came out faster. 'I have to stop crying…I'll be found out like this…' She wiped her tears and tried to even her breaths. 'That's right. I'm a boy. I envy that girl. A shiver of realization ran through her spine and spread out to touch the rest of her body. In this state… I -I-' Images of Naruto smiling penetrated her mind. 'I can't tell him I love him!'

"Hin?" Naruto watched as the girl shivered and walked up to her. He noticed her turn away from him "Are you okay, Hin?" the blond asked when he saw her face.

"Y-Yeah!" Hinata tried to smile. "I just bumped into the rail when I was running earlier."

"Oh!" Naruto placed his hand on the rail. "W-Why did you run before, Hin?"

"Uh um I just thought you might need some privacy," The girl nodded her head. "That girl earlier was real pretty, Naruto-kun. Y-you should go for it," She put her thumb up and forced herself to put on a fake happy expression.

"Oh yeah…She was pretty," Naruto said. Hinata felt uncomfortable and dropped her head when she heard him, but then he continued. "But I turned her down, she wasn't my type, you're my type Hin!" Hinata blushed and felt her heart beat race. She held onto her chest and stared at Naruto with an astonished expression. When he saw her, he blinked and saved his ass by saying: "B-But it's too bad you're a guy ha ha ha!" He rubbed the back of his head and plastered a fake smile on his face.

"R-right." She sighed and her blush faded.

"Anyway, are you all packed up for our trip? The hotel we'll be staying at is pretty far, so we should leave early."

"Mhm," Hinata nodded.

"Yosh!" Naruto put his hand in a fist and yelled. The couple made their way back to the dorm in order to get their bags and head out.

-A Few Hours Later: Hotel-

The hotel was located on the rural part of the country. A small bridge hung over a slim river, which customers had to cross. Naruto and Hinata had just made their way passed the bridge, and their sneakers made a crunchy sound as they stepped on fallen leaves and twigs, and dragged their bags towards the entryway of the hotel.

Once they made it inside, Naruto yelled: "Oba-san! We need a room!" and was responded by a newspaper thrown at his head. The source of the attack was from an older woman. She had dark, curly hair and red eyes, but her hotel uniform was a much darker red. She looked to be in her early 30's, but in Naruto's book, anyone who wasn't a teenager anymore was considered old.

"You little brat, respect your elders! Uh I mean! I'm barely thirty!" Kurenai glared at the young boy. Naruto had his usual fox-like grin, and wore loose jeans, with a tan orange jacket.

"Heh, could've fooled me," Naruto chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head, his grin was still present on his face, which made the woman's glare intensify, that is until her eyes roamed towards the young prankster's companion.

Hinata had put her hair up into a flat grey hat that let her bangs hang loosely at her forehead and cheeks. She wore a baggy, dark blue and grey checkered, buttoned up, long-sleeve shirt, and a thick grey vest that did well in hiding her curves, but even though her jeans were saggy, you could still make out her slim legs.

Kurenai felt something was odd about this 'boy' but an annoying voice pulled her out of her thoughts.

"Like I said Oba-san, we need one room with two beds please," The boy was oblivious to the older woman's annoyed expression.

"You'll never change will ya?" Her eyebrow twitched.

Hinata was in a state of awe as she studied the building. It was pretty ordinary. There were plants at each side of the doors, stairs, it had some chairs, but besides them and the check-in desk, there was no other furniture. As the Hyuuga heiress, she was always used to seeing the fanciest places, the most expensive mansions, packed with wealthy artifacts, but this was the complete opposite, and in a strange way, Hinata found herself liking this cute abode better. She always found the simpler things were warmer and cozier.

She let her eyes travel as they pleased, until they landed on a boy leaning against a corner. He had a bored expression planted on his face as he thrust his hands into his pockets. He had dark hair with a slim red streak that ran across the sides of it. As Hinata stared at him closely, she noticed his eyes were a familiar shade of red. He was wearing a red, unzipped jacket and black pants. Hinata's eyes landed on his again, but this time he caught her gaze. She gasped, when she realized how rude she had been acting and turned her eyes away from him as quickly as she could, but it was too late, because he was already walking towards her.

His elbow leaned against the check-in desk, as his eyes looked her up and down. He smirked, before saying. "You sure are cute, what's your name?" His left eyebrow lifted with interest.

"Eh? Eh! Y-you do know I-I'm a boy right!" Her hands went up in a defensive fashion.

"Huh?" He paused and looked her over again. "You can't fool me, I can smell a woman a mile away," He had a cocky grin present on his face as he pointed at himself.

'Eh! How can that be? Are there really boys like that!' Hinata was getting dizzy with all the thoughts running in and out of her head. She took a small step back and blushed at the excited smirk he was giving her. "Uh -um I-"

Suddenly, Naruto placed his arm in front of Hinata in a defensive manner. "Hey you! Quit making fun of Hin!" The blonde's eyebrows came together and his face turned red as he stared at the older boy.

"Seriously, Kou. You're always making trouble," Kurenai stated. 'There are no girls, so he settles for a cute boy. I don't understand men at all -.-…'

"Your son?" Naruto asked as he pointed at Kou.

"GAH! Why you! I am not that old! He's my nephew!" She gave Naruto a bitchy face, and struggled with her instincts so as not to punch the boy to the ground, before handing him the room key.

"Let me carry your bags, cutie," Kou smiled at Hinata and began to reach for her bag.

Naruto twitched at hearing his voice. "No way! We'll carry our bags by ourselves!" He yelled as he grabbed Hinata's bag from him.

"Um Naruto-kun, it is his job," Hinata gave him an innocent smile, urging him to reconsider.

"Oh ok," Naruto rubbed the back of his neck and smiled uncomfortably, before reluctantly handing his bags over to Kou.

The trio quickly made it upstairs, and once they made it to their destination, Naruto grabbed his luggage and slammed the door in Kou's face.

"What? N-No tip?" Kou twitched.

In their room, Naruto had already stripped off his clothes and was wearing nothing but a tank top and boxers. He slammed backwards into his bed and sighed. "Ahh I'm beat, today was such a long day." He yawned before mentioning: "Tomorrow, we'll go on our hike 'kay Hin?"

"Mhm," Hinata nodded, before grabbing her bag and heading for the restroom.

"Eh? Hin, where are you going? We're all guys here right?" Naruto lifted an eyebrow in confusion.

"I um y-yeah but-" Her stammer was interrupted.

"Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen you naked, Hin." Naruto squinted as he came to this conclusion. "Huh?" He opened his eyes and a red-faced Hin met his gaze. Her face was in complete embarrassment and the heat in her cheeks was too much to bear. The mortified girl then quickly entered the restroom and slammed the door shut.

"EH! Oh, wait Hin! Th-that's not what I meant! I mean it's not like I wanna see you naked, it's just gah…" He gave up and sighed. 'I keep saying the wrong things. I don't want Hin to think I'm gay.' His face turned red, so he covered himself with the blankets. 'I mean not yet, not until I confess…' An image of a bench and a starry night in the forest came to his mind. 'I'll definitely do it there,' He thought as he cuddled closer into his blanket 'Yosh!'

-Next Day: Morning-

Hinata had woken up early and thirsty. She made her way downstairs and found a juice machine. 'Hmm, peach or apple?' She moved her index finger back in fourth from the peach flavored juice can to the apple flavored one. 'Kyah! They're both so sweet and yummy…' The flustered girl shut her eyes and tried to think harder, but ended up getting a headache. 'Gah! Oh well I'll know as soon as I put the dollar in.' Her hands pulled out a dollar from her pocket and inserted it into the vending machine, but the machine ended up spitting it back up and the rejected dollar flew down to the floor.

"Oh no!" The distressed girl was about to reach over and pick it up, but another hand beat her to it. She looked at the jacket sleeve and noticed the familiar red color. "Kou-san." She blinked as she looked up to him; he unintentionally ignored her and placed the dollar in the machine.

"There we go," He typed in a letter and number combination. "You wanted peach right?" He lifted a cocky eyebrow to her as the juice can fell down into the shoot. His hand reached for it and handed it to her in a cool fashion. "Here,"

"Oh um thanks." She had a light tint of red on her cheeks, as her hands gently reached for the can and took it. The girl was a bit confused, but noted that this person, besides being a flirt was actually a very nice guy.

"Heh," he smirked as he leaned against the machine. "You never did tell me your name, babe."

"I-It's Hin," She bowed her head, but when she looked up, she noticed he wasn't looking at her anymore, but at her chest. She blushed and became uneasy, when his red eyes moved down from her chest to her legs.

His eyes finally found their way back to hers. "As I thought, you've got a really nice body hiding under your clothes," He grinned as a blush appeared on his cheeks.

'What! Does this guy have x-ray vision or something?' Her blush deepened and she was really starting to get worried. "A-Are you gay? I already told you I'm a boy!" Hinata waved her arms back and fourth in chibi fashion, all while still grabbing onto her can.

Kou twitched at her comment. "And I already told you, I'm not buying it. I know a girl, when I see one," His eyes stared into hers, seductively. "Maybe it's hormones or whatever. You're definitely a girl- no doubt about it. I have no idea why you're dressed up in boy's clothes, but it kind of excites me. Call it the thrill of the chase." He took a step closer towards her, and Hinata took a step back. She covered her chest with her arms, almost as if believing he could see through her clothes.

"The more you hide, the more I want to see. I mean you've already got such a cute face-"

SLAM!

Naruto slammed his fist into the vending machine, and separated Kou from Hin. "Back off," He said coldly yet calmly, but if only Hinata could see the bad ass glare, he was giving Kou.

'Naruto-kun seems pissed!' Hinata's eyes widened as she stared into her classmate's back.

"Well now," Kou squinted and grinned innocently. "It looks like it's time for me to go," He began to walk off, but not before waving at Hinata. "Bye Bye!" As he departed, a strange thought found its way into his head. 'Huh? That's weird, I wonder if that person knows his friend is a girl. Hah! It'd a be a riot if he didn't!'

Naruto twitched as he watched him leave. "Teme…"

"Um, Naruto-kun? Are you ok?"

"Yeah!" He turned around with his familiar grin back on his face. "I'm fine hehehe, but Hin, you really shouldn't hang around that guy anymore. He's bad news."

"Huh? I don't really see him as a bad guy." Hinata looked down at her peach can with a pensive expression.

"Heh, you really are too innocent, Hin," He chuckled. "Well Whatever, I found the dining hall so lets eat breakfast, before we set out to go," The blond pulled his friend towards the room, and grabbed as much food as he could fit in his plate and then more.

Hinata settled for a pancake and drank her peach juice along with it. She watched happily, as Naruto stuffed his face with eggs, bacon, pancakes, waffles, French toast ECT.

"Hey you!" Kurenai yelled as Naruto finished his meal. "You ate the whole breakfast platter! What am I supposed to feed the other guests!"

"Uh um," Naruto scratched his cheek with his index finger in a guilty fashion. "Heh heh."

"Don't give me that! You better be ready to pay for all the money you've wasted!" She crossed her arms and looked down on him.

"Th-The truth is I don't have any money," All he had left was change for the bus back to Konoha High. He showed her the palms of his hands and shrugged.

Kurenai tapped her foot impatiently. "Then we'll have to find a different way for you to pay ne?" She grinned evilly.

-Inside the Cafeteria: Afternoon-

"Really? Washing dishes, this just isn't fair!" Naruto groaned as he scrubbed the sponge against a dirty plate. "I mean how was I supposed to know it wasn't all you can eat?"

"It's not so bad, Naruto-kun," The midnight blue haired girl said as she dried the wet plates. They both wore hairnets and an apron. Hinata giggled a little at how funny Naruto looked with a hairnet, which caused Naruto to blush and act defensive, but in the end, he started laughing too.

"Auntie! I'm off to go buy groceries!" Kou stepped into the cafeteria to locate his aunt. His eyes searched for her until he saw Naruto. "Hehe, so it was you," He laughed, because he had been told that someone had eaten the whole breakfast menu, so he expected to see some obese person, but instead got Naruto, who sent him a death glare.

"Be safe, Kou," Kurenai warned.

"Actually since it's so much groceries, I was wondering if I could get some help carrying all of them," His eyes locked with Hinata's. "What do you say, cutie?"

"Uh um-!"

"No way in hell!" Naruto yelled.

"Alright," Hinata answered immediately after her friend.

"Hin," The blonde looked at his comrade with a confused and pleading expression.

"Naruto-kun, we owe them," She commented as she removed her apron and replaced the hairnet with her hat. Naruto sighed and felt slightly at fault for bringing her into this mess.

"Alright then! Let's go!" Kou had a warm, friendly expression as he lifted his arm.

"Hin, be careful," Naruto begged.

"I'll be fine, bye" Hin waved.

As the duo finally left the hotel, Kou paused and gave Hinata a serious look. The girl felt a bit out of place, but listened to what he had to say, regardless. "Ok let's get this straight, I promise not to make any passes at you from this spot forward. I may love girls, but I am capable of controlling myself. A girl alone with a guy is a dangerous thing, and I don't want to make you any more uncomfortable than you already are, alright?" He stared at Hinata, until she nodded. With that, he began to walk on ahead.

'I knew it, Kou is a good guy!' Hinata smiled before she made to catch up to him.

-Kou's jeep: On the way to Grocery Store-

"Ano, Kou-san? Can I ask why you work at the hotel?" Hinata tilted her head.

"College," The boy stated bluntly, never taking his eyes off the road.

"Huh?"

"So far, none of my family members made it to college. I want to go and prove my father wrong, that I'm not worthless. So I've been working at my aunt's hotel since I was 13, now I'm 18 and you know what? I barely have enough for half of tuition. Isn't it sad? Hehe but Auntie has been so nice and she says that she'll pay for the rest." He chuckled a bit before continuing. "Ever since mom passed away, she's always been there for me and has always supported me going to college- since she never got to go, but has since always dreamed of it." He took a deep sigh of happiness and turned the wheel to the left. "Gah! What am I saying! I'm sorry, but I'm trying so hard not to focus on such a cute girl in my car that I've got to keep my mind occupied and my dream always fills that space!" He grinned and kept the wheel steady.

Hinata smiled whole-heartedly at Kou. 'It seems everyone with a dream, has a drive to do whatever it takes to achieve it.'

Kou hit the brakes as soon as he caught a glimpse of Hinata's smile. "Gah! Don't you know that when a girl smiles, it makes her 10 times cuter! I mean- I'm really trying here!" Kou yelled.

"Kyah! Oh I-I'm so sorry!"

-Back at the Hotel: Early Night-

Hinata and Kou arrived at the hotel with giant paper bags full of groceries. Hinata put her bag down for a second in front of the hotel, because she needed a break. Kou did the same and sighed. He looked at the ground and realized they were back at the spot.

"Well it seems I've kept my promise!" He stared into Hinata's confused eyes, before continuing. "You know, I've really become drawn to you, babe. You're exactly my type so I want to risk it all here. What do you say? Will you go out with me?" He gave her a cheesy grin and waited.

"Eh? Um I…" Hinata looked down. She really didn't want to hurt him but…"I- I'm sorry but there's already someone I like." She played with her fingers and lowered her head in a shameful way. She knew how much it hurt when there's no way you could be with the one you love, so she understood the pain, she had just given him.

"I see, so that's how it was…" He looked down with depressed eyes, but only for a second, because after that he forced a fake smile on his face. "Well then. I'll see you around." He quickly grabbed both of the grocery bags and walked in. Hinata watched him leave and felt a familiar pain in her chest. 'Naruto-kun'

Said person had been standing afar, watching the whole scene take place. 'Hin likes somebody else…Could it be me or Sas- No! This doesn't change anything! I have to risk it all! Just like Kou! Love is all about taking chances, right? Right!' The blond began doubting his confession, needless to say, it was a restless night for both Naruto and Hinata.

-Next Day: Hike-

"Yosh! Are you ready, Hin!" Naruto yelled as he grabbed his backpack and looked into the forest. Despite his doubts, the blonde was as cheerful and excited as ever.

"Hai, Naruto-kun!" Hinata giggled. She always loved his cheery attitude.

"Let's go!" Naruto started heading out and Hinata followed. He had told her earlier about a sight he wanted to show her, and his excitement was getting the better of him, because he was walking so fast that Hinata could barely catch up. She didn't want to be a burden though, so she didn't complain.

"Come on, Hin!" Naruto yelled as he climbed over some rocks. Hinata responded and followed him, but when she reached her arm out to push herself up, she noticed her straps were making it hard for her to breathe. She stopped, placed her hand on her chest and tried breathing steadily. "Oi Hin, Are you coming or what?" Naruto asked.

'Naruto-kun,' Hinata thought as she clenched her fists and endured her pain. They passed by a dozen trees, before the pain really started to hurt Hinata, but she never mentioned it once.

"Hin! This way! We're so close!" Naruto ran up ahead, but Hinata decided to steady herself on a tree, before following him. "Look Hin! This is it! Isn't it a great sight! Although it's much more amazing at night." The blond stretched his arms out and showed her an amazing view of the grassy hills below, along with the vast amount of clouds in the sky, and there was a little bench made of rocks for a couple to sit at.

Hinata limped closer towards Naruto, but her eyes felt heavy.

"The Truth is Hin…" His blue eyes dropped to the floor in embarrassment and a shy smile appeared on his face.

The lavender-eyed girl's legs became weak. There wasn't enough oxygen to support her and she fell down and passed out."

"There's something I've been wanting to tell y-Hin!" Naruto yelled and ran towards her. "Hin!" His eyes widened and he dropped to his knees. "Hin, hang on, Hin!" He stared at her sleeping face, and noticed how much she was sweating. "He must be dehydrated!" He started fanning her with his hands. He was going to reach for his water bottle, until he compared how sweaty she was to how much clothes she had on. "This vest looks like its choking him." He unzipped her gray vest and removed it completely off her form. His hands reached for the buttons on her shirt and he hurried to remove them. As soon as he was halfway down he noticed the straps and started loosening them. He was baffled as to why his friend would wear them but he was too worried to care since they were so tight, but as soon as he started tugging on them, her round, eager breasts popped out of her chest and were finally able to breath.

Naruto's eyes almost plunged out of his sockets. His mouth opened wide as he processed the fact that Hin had boobs, and amazing ones at that. "H-Hin is…Hin is…a …girl!" He said it aloud to get his brain to believe what his mouth was saying, and clutched onto his chest in an attempt to slow down his heart. "All this time…Hin…" Naruto wanted to be mad, but when he stared into her angelic face and then eyed her beautiful, creamy skin, he decided to go with the flow. After all, this was a good thing, scratch that a GREAT thing! This meant he wasn't gay! He cheered silently, until his eyes traveled back to the passed out Hinata.

He decided to continue removing her shirt, since it was so hot, but as soon as his hands touched her smooth skin, they were sucked into her breasts. He couldn't help rubbing them. 'These feel familiar…,' Naruto thought as he blushed. He felt guilty that he was taking advantage of her but a heat inside of him drove him. It was as if he had been holding something in all this time and seeing Hinata's naked chest was like rattling the beast's cage.

He shook his head to clear his thoughts and poured his water bottle down Hin's chest, hoping it would help her, but staring at the water as it dripped down into the middle of her breasts made him excited and succeeded in building a tent. Suddenly, he was on top of her and he couldn't stop himself. His hands traveled from her sides, and he reached over to pull back her bangs. "Hin…I'm sorry, but I really can't take it anymore!" He moaned as he pressed his lips against hers. 'Hin.' His hips were grinding into hers, so he didn't notice the unconscious girl start to stir beneath him.
