Hey, I'm back with another chapter of In My Spare Time. Seeing as this is my first fanfic, I'm really happy some of you commented on it. I'm going to try to get these in as fast as I can, seeing as I had prewritten some. I know this one isn't as long, but I am going try to keep the stories coming. Hope you like this one.
Disclaimer: I do not in any way, shape, form, reference, phrase, saying, idea, random happen stance, or anything else I can think of, own Naruto, even though it would be awesome if I did… BUT I DON'T! OKAY! On with the story.
In My Spare Time: Chapter 2: Chosen
"How do you know all of this?" Jaraiya asked. Hinata looked stunned. She had not expected this question. What should she say?
"I-I-I… w-well…umm…" she stuttered out as she turned several shades of red which ended in a very deep shade of crimson. Jaraiya understood from how she was acting that she had a crush on Naruto and had secretly followed him around for the greater part of her life, but was too shy to say anything. Leave it to Naruto not to notice. Jaraiya decided to play dumb anyway.
"Okay… how about, why are you here?" Jaraiya asked.
"W-well…umm… I was…umm…g-getting food for cooking," Hinata lied.
"That's a lie," Jaraiya said calmly. Hinata gasped. "Well, I guess what you do in your free time is none of our business." Hinata became relieved and let out her breath. "Anyway, today is probably the last day to see Naruto. In two days, he and I are going on a three year long mission." Hinata looked mortified.
'Poor girl,' Jaraiya thought. 'She won't be able to see her crush for three years… wait.' Then three words popped into Jaraiya's head: Naruto, girl, crush.
"That's it!" Jaraiya suddenly yelled, which made Hinata jump. Then he looked at Hinata and said, "Follow me."
"W-where?" Hinata asked as she followed Jaraiya.
"To see Naruto," Jaraiya said as he reached back and started pulling Hinata. It was a good thing, too, because Hinata stopped so Jaraiya was just dragging her.
"W-why?" Hinata asked while trying to keep her balance at Jaraiya's fast pace.
"So we can tell him about his little spying friend," Jaraiya answered. At this, Hinata jumped.
"W-what? N-n-no!" Hinata stuttered out. Then she started trying to drag Jaraiya away from the store where Naruto was. Jaraiya, who was strong (even for a ninja), didn't notice and kept on dragging her, toward Naruto.
"Hey Naruto," Jaraiya called out. A spiky blond haired kid dressed in orange, turned around and smiled when he saw his master.
"Pervy Sage!" Naruto called out and walked over to Jaraiya. "Have you come to get me? Are we leaving now?"
"No, but it does have to do with your training," Jaraiya answered with a smile.
"Wait," Naruto said with a suddenly serious look. "Are you calling it off?"
"What!" said Jaraiya with a surprised look, almost letting go of Hinata. "No, no! Far from it."
"Well what is it?" Naruto asked, looking happy again. Then he noticed Hinata trying to get away from Jaraiya's grasp. "Umm… Jaraiya… What are you doing with Hinata?" Hinata stopped struggling and blushed.
"Naruto," Jaraiya said and pulled Hinata out in front of them, "meet your new training partner." When he said this, Naruto and Hinata froze and just starred at the smiling Jaraiya. Naruto was the first to speak.
"Wait, Pervy Sage!" Naruto exclaimed. "By training partners, do you mean for this trip?"
"That is," Jaraiya said, brightening his smile, "exactly what I mean." Then Naruto's expression changed to a happy one.
"That's awesome," Naruto cheered. "Hey, Hinata. Isn't this great? We'll be training together for three years!" Meanwhile, in Hinata's head:
'Oh my gosh. He's talking about me. I'm going to be his training partner. Oh my gosh. Can I do it? I guess I have to. Besides, I've done this before. How long can it be? Wait. What did Naruto just say? Three years! With him! I-I…' And then Hinata fainted.
"Hinata!" Naruto shouted and knelt down to see if she was alright.
'Wow. She really has it bad for him.' Jaraiya thought. 'I hope this isn't a bad idea.'
Well that is the end of this chapter. Sorry it was short. hope you liked it. R & R.
