So, here is my last chapter. I hope you all enjoyed reading it. I own nothing


Naruto was meeting his girl in front of Ichiraku's. He needed to tell her what happened with Sakura. No secrets could be between them if he was going to ask her the question he had in mind.

She stood outside the ramen shop in a simple orange sundress. Naruto smiled at the color. When he reached Hinata he slid his arms around her waist and kissed her forehead. His face lingered and smelled her. That sweet scent was so intoxicating, he almost forgot how hungry he was.

"Hina, after ramen we need to talk," his eyes searched her face for any signs of worry. There was a slight flicker of panic in her eyes but it fluttered away because she trusted Naruto. The two had lunch and after walked hand in hand to there secret place. Hinata sat on one of the rocks by the water and the wind picked up her hair. Naruto caught himself staring at this picturesque scene. Her voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Naruto? What is it that you wanted to talk about?" She looked at him worriedly. The blonde walked over and sat in front of Hinata and took her one of her hands in both of his. He looked up into her big lavender eyes and swallowed hard.

"Hinata, something happened after our date the other night," he could feel her body grow tense. "I got home and Sakura was outside my home," her hand was trying to break free of his grip but he squeezed her. "She was depressed and alone and confused, she kissed me," tears welled up in her eyes and the tears slowly slid down her face. Naruto's eyes filled up with tears at this sight. "I pushed her away immediately and we talked and she went home. Nothing else happened Hina, I swear." She ripped her hand away from Naruto and stood up. Hinata turned away, she couldn't look at Naruto right now. Even if he didn't do anything it still hurt. She couldn't even think of Sakura right now, one of her best friends hurting her like this.

"I...I have to go Naruto. I...I ne..need to be alone for a bit," with that she ran before Naruto could stop her. He stood alone, the scent of lavender still lingering in the air.

Hinata ran straight to her room. She didn't want anyone to see her. Especially Hiashi. After all it wasn't really Naruto's fault. She just didn't know what to think at the moment.

~one week later~

"Hinata? It's me. Naruto told me you know about what happened and I wanted to talk to you about it," Sakura poked her head into Hinata's room. No one had seen the Hyuuga girl for a week and when Hiashi questioned her she simply said she was having "lady problems" and that made him leave her room quickly. She wasn't really angry at Naruto, in fact she missed him terribly, she just couldn't face Sakura. She was so hurt by her friend's betrayal. And now here she was, asking to come and speak to her. She nodded to the pink haired girl and Sakura walked in. She stood by the doorway and bowed.

"Hinata, I wish to ask for your forgiveness. I know it's asking a lot of you after what I did. I'm sorry. I was...confused and lonely and Naruto has always been there for me. He's been such a good friend to me and after the two of you started dating I was really feeling alone. You have Naruto, Neji has Tenten, Shikamaru and Temari, I mean Ino pig is dating Kiba, and then there was me. The one still hung up on Sasuke. So I went for my comfort, my security blanket, only he has you now. I made a mistake, that kiss, it meant nothing. I just wanted to fix things. I...I have someone now. And it's still new and we're testing the waters but I like him," Sakura straightened and turned to go. "Well that was all. I hope you can forgive me," she turned and had opened the door.

"Sakura? Can I ask who he is?" Hinata knew it wouldn't be easy but she wanted her friend back. Sakura turned and smiled at Hinata, who patted the bed next to her. As Sakura was walking to the bed she began.

"Well Temari actually set me up with her brother, Kankuro, not Gaara," Hinata gave a slightly surprised expression.

"He's really cute without all the paint on his face," the two girls giggled on about Sakura's new man.

~meanwhile downstairs~

"I was wondering how Hinata was feeling, I haven't seen her in a while," Naruto asked Hiashi. He hadn't really come to see Hinata, she needed time so that's what he'd give her. He was actually here to see Hiashi.

"Ah, uh yes she said she was having...uh lady problems," Hiashi shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He noticed the awkward silence filling the space between the boy and himself. He cleared his throat.

"Is that all you wanted Naruto?" Hiashi asked. He watched the boy fidget where he stood.

"No sir, I actually came to speak to you," Naruto quickly glanced up and noticed the intense stare Hiashi was giving him. The two had somewhat bonded over the last six months but he was still intimidated by Hinata's father.

"I uh...I bought this to give to Hinata," he pulled a simple box and opened it for Hiashi to see. It was a simple white gold band with a small diamond in it. He knew it wasn't wow but it was simple and elegant. Hiashi gave him an incredulous look.

"I know this may seem fast but I want to be with your daughter, for the rest of my life and I want it to start as soon as possible. She is everything I could ever want and more," he felt like he was rambling so he stopped and looked at Hiashi who was staring at the ring.

"Naruto Uzumaki, I have never met anyone like you. Someone as loud and obnoxious as you is impossible to find. You are irrational and you never think before you act. You risk your team members lives with your impulsive behavior," Naruto stared at the ground figuring Hiashi was going to send him away.

"However, you put your heart into everything you do. You never back down from a challenge. Your determination is truly admirable. But by far, your most outstanding trait is your protective nature over your friends and those you care about. Your willingness to die to protect them. That is a trait I would require the man who will marry my daughter. Therefore, Naruto Uzumaki, I would be honored to call you my son," Naruto looked up and smiled at Hiashi. He actually ran up and hugged his future father-in-law. Surprised, it took Hiashi a moment before he hugged the boy back.

"Thank you sir, I...I have to get things ready to ask her. Excuse me sir," Naruto bowed and ran off to prepare everything.

Sitting in his room, Naruto was scrambling to make the proposal perfect. He suddenly heard a knock at the door. He got up and opened it to find his girlfriend.

"Hina, I...I've missed you," Naruto stared at her face, remembering every inch of it was nothing like seeing her in person.

"Hello Naruto, " to show how she wasn't mad at the boy she leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips. When she backed away she noticed a light blush on Naruto's cheeks. She looked down as she continued to speak.

"I wanted to know if you wanted to go out tonight. As a group. You and I, Neji and Tenten, Temari and Shikamaru, and Sakura and Kankuro," she looked up at the mention of the last couple and noticed a surprised look on his face. Naruto tried to figure out how he could propose to her tonight as well as go on this date. He couldn't think of anything now, but here she was, asking him to go out for a couples night. He wasn't going to refuse.

"Yeah, Hina, lets do it. When should I pick you up?"

"Around 8?" Naruto nodded and said he had to run some errands so he'd see her that night. He gave her a kiss and ran out the door.

That night he picked up Hinata and the couple met up with their friends for barbecue. When the night was over they said goodbye and Naruto grabbed Hinata's waist and turned in front of her. He looked her in the eyes with a stare so intense she had to look away.

"Come on Hina, I have a surprise for you."

"Ah Naruto, it's late, my father will be worried."

"I already spoke to him he'll be fine," Naruto grabbed her hand and began running to there small bit of paradise. The cherry blossom petals were floating in the pond and the moonlight reflecting on the water made the place seem magical. On some rocks, Naruto placed a bouquet of flowers. As Hinata went to smell them Naruto got down on one knee and waited for Hinata to turn around. She was holding the flowers in her arms.

"Oh Naruto! These are so beau-" when she saw him she dropped her flowers and stared. Tears filled her eyes. This was just like she'd always dreamed, she didn't know what to do.

"Hinata Hyuuga, you are my world. I could not live without you. I need you in my life always and I want our life to start as soon as we can. You make me complete my heart swells with love for you. So here I am, on one knee. Hinata, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Tears spilled out from her eyes and she could only nod.

"Y...y...yes Naruto. Yes, I will marry you," Naruto jumped up and held Hinata. Moments later she fainted. While he held her, Naruto slipped on her ring. When she came to the two walked back to town, hand in hand.


Ok so that's all. I was thinking of writing a Kankuro & Sakura fic, please let me know if you guys would read that.
