Ch.4: Time To Do A Little Spying

Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto were all sitting in Sasuke's living room. "So how's the kids, teme?"

Sasuke glared at his blonde friend. "They're fine."

"Any homicidal thoughts?" asked Kakashi.

"No, they grow on you. They aren't so bad, aside from the waking up at odd hours and diapers."

"Be happy you didn't have them the natural way. A woman with mood swings and food cravings, it's pretty bad," said Sakura.

"Sounds like when we were dating," Sasuke replied and laughed as Sakura punched him playfully. "Hey!" she laughed.

After the bout of laughter, everyone stared at Naruto who had called this meeting together. "So what was so important, dobe?"

"Well, you know how I asked Santa for help with Hinata, right?"

They all nodded.

"Well, two days ago, I got sick and she took care of me and I'm taking her on a date tonight. I'm freaking out man! I don't know what to do! I don't know where to take her or what to say! I can't charm people like Kakashi and I'm not a ladies man like Sasuke. Sakura, you have to help me! Tell me what I should do to please Hinata!" he begged.

Sakura swatted his hands away from hers. "First of all, don't scream like that. You'll scare the poor girl."

"Second, dobe, do stuff she'll want to do. Take her out to eat, a movie, a walk in the park, the easy stuff."

"And third, be yourself, just not too much." smiled Kakashi.

Naruto nodded and continued to write these on a piece of paper he found. "Dinner, park, be calm. Got it. Thanks guys. I better go, I need to get ready," he said, getting up from the couch. "See you later!" he said before leaving the house. The door slammed shut and Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura all looked to each other.

"He's going to mess up."

"We should spy on them tonight, just to make sure everything goes smoothly." said Sakura.

"Sure."

"I can't."

Sakura looked at Sasuke. "Why not?"

"I need to look after my kids."

"Why not ask Ino or Lee?" asked Kakashi.

Sasuke looked horrified. "I'm not trusting my kids with Ino or Bushy-Brows! They don't know how my kids work and what would happen if they got hurt and I wasn't there?! I'll stay here. Just keep me posted with the earpieces." he said.

Sakura and Kakashi stood up. "Sure, frequency 1, okay?" she smiled.

"Hn."

Sakura stretched on the porch of Sasuke's house and started to chuckle. "Sasuke's a great father, although a bit protective."

"Well, you can't blame him. That's his only chance to repopulate his clan. Besides, I think he really loves those kids, even if he won't admit it." smiled Kakashi.

Sakura smiled back. "I think so too." She looked at her watch. "Well, I'm heading back to the hospital. Let's meet outside the hospital after my shift."

"Sure. Your shift ends at 5:45, right?"

"Yeah, and don't you dare be late." she said prodding his vest-covered chest.

Kakashi sweatdropped. "Have a little faith in me, Sakura."

"Just don't be late, Kakashi, we need to plan and we need all the time we can spare."

"Fine."

"Great."

Two poofs were heard and green leaves and sakura petals drifted in the gray sky.

Sakura walked down the hallway and out the door of the Konoha hospital. "Yo."

Sakura screamed and put a hand over her chest to steady her heart. She looked up to see a smiling man towering over her. "Kakashi?" She looked at her watch. "You're not late! Not only that! You're early!"

"I told you to have a little faith in me." he smiled. She just stared blankly back as her mind reeled with the fact he was early. "Sakura?"

Sakura looked up to see Kakashi looking at her worriedly. "You feeling alright?" he asked.

"Yeah." She quickly changed the subject. "Do you have the earpieces?"

Kakashi dug into his pants pocket and pulled out two earbuds with microphone attachments. "Already set up. Get Sasuke on the line." he said.

Sakura put the small machine into her ear and spoke into it. "Sasuke?"

"Right here. Any idea where Naruto is going?"

"Maybe Ichiraku?" asked Kakashi.

"Probably." said Sakura.

"Well, keep me posted."

"Will do." said Kakashi.

Naruto wrung his hands nervously in front of the Hyuuga compound. He rang the doorbell and started to sweat bullets. The door opened and he nearly dropped to his knees to beg for deliverance.

"Naruto?"

"Neji?"

Neji sighed. "You're looking for Hinata, right? Don't worry, my uncle and the rest of the family are in another village. Hinata and I are the only ones here."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I'll get her."

"Thanks."

Naruto waited outside nervously, staring at the starry sky when the door opened. "Naruto-kun?"

Naruto turned around to see Hinata in a pale blue dress with a matching pair of shoes. "Hinata! You look beautiful!"

Hinata blushed. "Thank you. You look handsome too, Naruto."

Naruto looked at his black pants and blue and white dress shirt under his black jacket. "Oh, thanks."

Sakura slapped herself in the tree not too far from the two hopeless lovers. "That idiot." she hissed.

"What did the dobe do wrong?"

"He's not giving her the flowers!" she whispered loudly.

"But they were a nice touch." said Kakashi.

"Hopefully dobe remembers to give them to her. Tell me when something else happens."

"Sure." said Sakura.

Hinata slowly brought her gaze to Naruto's face and noticed something. "Naruto? What's that behind your back?" she asked.

Naruto peered behind him and noticed the bouquet behind him. "Oh!" He quickly moved them in front of his body and to her. "T-t-t-these a-a-are f-f-for you." he stuttered.

Hinata gently took the bouquet and dipped her face into the arrangement. "They smell wonderful, thank you. I'll put these in a vase and we can go, okay?"

"Sure." The door closed and Naruto danced on the lawn.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Yes! Atta boy Naruto!"

"What Sakura? What?" asked Sasuke.

"Naruto gave her the flowers. I think they're going to dinner next." she answered.

"Kay."

The door of the compound opened and Hinata smiled at Naruto. "Ready to go?" Hinata asked. Naruto nodded and extended his hand. She took it and he lead her deeper into Konoha with Sakura and Kakashi tailing them.

Naruto and Hinata were dining by candlelight in a booth near the window of an expensive restaurant. "What's going on now?" asked Sasuke.

"They're not at Ichiraku, that's for sure." said Kakashi.

"Where are they then?"

"The Black Rose. You took me there once. I couldn't believe how expensive the place was." said Sakura.

"Dobe must have it bad." said Sasuke.

"Yeah, wait, now they're at dessert. They'll be leaving pretty soon. What else did Naruto say he would do on the date?" asked Sakura.

"A walk in the park." said Kakashi.

"They're leaving now. We better catch up to them. Talk to you later, Sasuke."

"See ya, Sakura."

Naruto and Hinata were now at a lake not far from his old training grounds. They were standing at the water's edge, bathed in moonlight. "Hinata?"

"Yes?"

"Did I- Well, did you have a good time?"

Hinata smiled. "I had a wonderful time tonight Naruto and it's all thanks to you." she smiled.

"I'm glad." he smiled softly.

They stood in silence as they watched the water shimmer in the moonlight. "Naruto-kun?"

"Yeah?"

"I have a confession to make."

'No! She's going to say she doesn't like me at all and she just felt sorry for me!'

"-since we were genin." she said blushing.

"Huh?" he said unintelligently.

Hinata looked at him. "I've liked you since we were genin." she said.

Naruto was stunned. 'She's liked me that long?'

'And you were too busy fawning over Sakura to notice.'

'Shut up.'

"Naruto-kun?"

"Yes?"

"Are you okay? You were doing all these different expressions with your face."

"I'm fine, just sorting things out in my brain. Can I tell you something too?"

"Sure, Naruto-kun."

Naruto looked towards the lake. "Well, for the past few years, whenever Christmas came, I'd always ask Santa for ramen, but I decided to ask for something different this year."

"What did you ask for?" she asked.

Naruto turned to face her and smiled. "I asked for you."

Hinata stared up at him in shock. "You see, I've liked you for a few years now. Anyway, I was too scared to ask you in case you rejected me, so I asked Santa to have you be my girlfriend. Pretty selfish huh?"

Hinata shook her head. "That's not selfish. I'm selfish. In years past, I'd always wish that you wouldn't fall in love with Sakura and fall in love with me, but I realized that that was no way to get you to like me. I was always shy and cowardly around you, but I wished for the courage to tell you how I feel. I'm glad I did because look at where we are now. We're on a date together."

Naruto smiled. "I guess I should've wished for this earlier, ne?"

Hinata chuckled. "I wouldn't have cared. I'd wait forever for you." she answered softly.

Naruto smiled warmly and tucked a stray hair behind her ear. Hinata blushed at the contact and their closeness. "Naruto-kun?"

"I think I love you, Hinata."

Hinata lowered her eyes and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Naruto." Their faces went steadily closer until their lips met. He kissed her tenderly as Hinata wound her arms around his neck.

Sakura and Kakashi smirked from their place in the trees. "Mission success. Naruto and Hinata are kissing now." said Sakura.

"Finally, we've been waiting for years for them to get together."

"I think we'll leave these two alone." said Kakashi. Sakura nodded and the two darted away while Hinata and Naruto separated and started the journey back to her house, hand in hand.
