(A/N Hey you guys, long time no see! Well Here it is, the chapter you been waiting for! Sorry I took so long…)

Chapter 5: What are you doing here?

Hinata was walking home; the night sky had already fallen. She didn't know how to feel, she didn't want to forgive him just yet. She knew it didn't seem right to just forgive, because she still felt a grudge, she still felt hurt. She opened her door and stepped into her dark apartment. She flicked the light on and saw the emptiness.

"I guess Sasuke ran into Sakura" She said giggling to herself. She went into her kitchen and looked in the fridge. "Hmm, I'm not all that hungry.." She walked into her bedroom and sat on her bed. Her mind was just filled with thoughts. She couldn't understand, she loved Naruto, so much, but he hurt her so bad. She just didn't have it in her heart to forgive him yet, even though she wanted too. She sighed and stood up.

"Maybe a bath will help me clear my head." She began to remove her clothes; she touched her skin softly and remembered when Naruto would touch her softly. She smiled at the thought. She took off the rest of her clothes and wrapped a towel around her naked body. She went into the bathroom and shut the door, and made sure to lock it this time. She had the water run as she looked at herself in the mirror.

She hated how she looked, she was so pale, had such light eyes, and their dark hair that stuck out like a sore thumb. "What says he just won't find someone else who is beautiful and can treat him better than I can…" She felt tears run down her face. It has been a long time since she cried, but these tears were different.

She looked at self once more and huffed. She walked to the bathtub and laid in it. She let the hot water surround her body, she closed her eyes and put her head under the water.

"Hinata.."

"Yes Naruto?"

"There is something I been meaning to tell you.." He said while blushing.

"Naruto-kun, come on what is it?"

"You remember you told me you loved me?"

She blushed at his words and looked down. "Yea I remember, but I also told you , you didn't have to give me an answer until you were ready-"

"I have an answer now.." He got closer to her and moved a strand of her from her face. Her heart beat increased as he looked at her in the eyes. She just stood quiet and waited for the answer he was going to give her. She held her breath. "Hinata.."

"Naruto-kun.."

"I Love You too…" She felt the tears form in her eyes, she never felt so happy in her life,he loved her, he came close and placed a soft tender kiss on her lips.

She brought herself up from the water and pushed her hair back. The tears formed again but it wasn't from happiness.

'Naruto did you really mean that, do you truly love me like you said…'

She got up from the bath and wrapped the towel around her wet body. She walked to her room, closed the door and threw herself on the bed. She didn't even notice the tears rolling down her face.

"Naruto why…..was it my fault…" She put the pillow over her face as the tears kept falling, she didn't know how to feel, she loved him, but she was tired of getting hurt.

She lay on her stomach and closed her eyes, she was startled as her phone vibrated. She whipped the tears from her eyes and looked at the name. It said Naruto; she had forgotten to delete his number. She sighed and looked at the message.

'Hey Hinata, I hope you have a good night, Please try your hardest not to cry…I saw the look on your face.'

Reading those words just made the tears fall more. How can a person who knew her so well, hurt her so much.

'I'll be at your house around 5, so we can talk…I'll see you then, bye'

She sighed, she didn't know how to feel about that, a part of her was excited, but another part was worried. What else did they need to talk about. She grunted and threw the pillow over her face.

With Sasuke

Sasuke and Sakura were in her bedroom watching TV, Sakura ended up falling asleep while curled up in Sasuke's arms. He looked to his side and saw Sakura; he smiled and touched her lightly. "Hey sleeping beauty, you going to wake up?"

"I Don't want too..it's been so long since we been this close.."

"I Know..."

"Heh but I do think it's the first time you haven't slept with me while we laid in the same bed" She giggled.

"Oh come on you know I can be a gentlemen.." Sakura just stared at him.

"uh-huh"

"Aw come on don't you remember our first date!"

"True true, but once we dated a month, I don't think you could of waited any longer."

"Heh I'm sorry, you have always been irresistible "She giggled and blushed. " You don't know how honored I am to be your first"

"And I was yours…"

"And You'll be my last" He kissed her softly and held her close. "I should get going"

"yea, I don't think we should just rush into this"

"Yea…" She walked him to the door as he grabbed his jacket.

"You'll be stopping by tomorrow?"

"Of course I will Sakura, I just need to make sure Hinata is okay…"

"I feel terrible about this…"

"You know she would never hate you.." He kissed her head lightly. "Just get some rest, text me if anything okay?"

"Okay I will, she kissed his cheek. Well I'll be seeing you then"

"Hn, See you" She was about to close the door until his foot got in the way. "oh and one more thing."

"Hm? What is it?"

"You and Naruto aren't sleeping in the same bed are you?"

She ended up laughing, she poked his cheek. "No Sasuke, he is sleeping in the living room and I'm sleeping up stairs."

"Okay, just had to make sure."

"Good Bye Sasuke"

"Bye Sakura"

Sasuke got into his car and drove to Hinata's place. He didn't know how she would be after seeing Naruto; he just wanted to make sure she was okay. It was a silent drive but he finally made it to her apartment. He went upstairs and saw the door was locked. He picked up the mat and picked up the spare key. He unlocked the door and saw the kitchen light on.

"Hinata?" He said, but he got no response. He saw the bed room door closed. "Hm?" He knocked, but since he didn't hear anything he opened it and saw Hinata in a towel sleeping on the bed. He went next to her and saw her face wet from tears. He saw her phone was lite up, he picked it up and saw a message from Naruto.

"hm?" He read the messaged; He sighed, "Naruto.." He got the blanket from under her and covered her up. "Going to bed wet? Are you trying to get sick?" he said to himself. He walked out her room and closed the door behind him.

"At least I know she is okay, I think I should head home.." He walked to the door and closed it behind him. "I Hope everything is okay when Naruto comes by tomorrow. I really hope he doesn't hurt her anymore." He locked the door, placed the key back under the mat and headed to his car. He sat in the driver seat.

"I can't help but feel excited to see Sakura tomorrow." He laughed at himself. "I sound like I'm back in high school." He laughed and drove home.

The next day, Hinata heard knocking on her bedroom door. "Hmm?" She didn't know who would be at her house at this time. Not remembering she was in a towel, she opened her bedroom door.

"Hey hina-"

"Hm? Naruto? You were supposed to be here at 5."

"Hinata, its 5:30"

"W-What!" She yelled

"H-Hinata can you put clothes on please.." He said while blushing and looking away. She looked down and blushed a beat red. She closed the door in his face and put her back against it. Her mind was full of confusion, she just let out a deep breath and went and put some clothes on. She put on black stretchy pants and a purple short sleeve shirt on. Her hair curled a little from being wet last night so she just let it fall. She opened the door and saw Naruto looking out the window. She took a deep breath in and walked to him.

"Hey Naruto, I'm sorry I-"

"You never sleep in, you must have been really tired" He laughed; he turned and looked at her. It was at that moment when Hinata felt her heart racing again, her face heating up, and those butterflies in her stomach. As much as she fought it, her feelings were shown on her face.

"Hinata, what's wrong?"

"N-Nothing, I-I just um…" Without a warning Naruto fell to his knees, Hinata gasped as he held her hands.

"Hinata, I'm so sorry, I know my words mean nothing to you, I know what I did really can't be forgiven, but Please, I love you and I mean it! I was too blind to notice the wonderful girl that was right in front of my eyes this whole time" He looked up at her and she gasped. She never saw such sorrow in his eyes before. But even though she had feelings of just holding him and making him feel better, she still have feelings of bitterness towards him; Naruto saw the little bit of bitterness in her stare.

"Hinata, I was stupid, I went after someone I thought wouldn't hurt me, but in the end, I hurt you." Tears fell from her face. "Please Hinata..give me a chance" She couldn't look at him, she just couldn't find it in her heart to just forgive and forget, it hurt to think he had another woman in his arms. "Please…I'm on my knee's…begging for your forgiveness"

"Naruto I-"

"Please…"

"Let's just….start over.." She bites her tongue. "As if we were never together…" Those words hurt, even for her.

"Is that what you want?"

"If we are going to be together, I want to not think of the old memories, but creat new and better ones. Every time I think of those happy times, the hurt I felt at that time also comes back" She kneeled down in front of Naruto and did the unexpected. She wrapped her arms around him. His eyes grew wide.

"Hinata why are you-"

"I don't want to talk about it anymore, I just want to start over" She cried as she embraced him. "Naruto I love you more than anything in the world, you just have to give me time" Naruto decided not to speak anymore. He held her now and just let her cry. He never meant to hurt the girl he loved, but he was always known for being an idiot.

'Way to go Naruto…' he thought to himself.

"Do you want me to go?" He said while holding her. She looked up at him.

"No, spend some time with me, just as friends, I'll make us some ramen what do you say?"

"Only if you want some"

"Course I do, it's something we both like"

"Actually instead of dirtying your kitchen, why don't I take you out to eat, just as friends?" She smiled at his words.

"I'd like that, just let me get my coat." She went to the room and grabbed her jacket. She walked out her room with her jacket, purse, and keys.

"You ready?"

"Yea, I'm really hungry" She giggled. "I haven't eaten all day"

"You been sleeping all day" Naruto said playfully.

"Just come on!" She walked out the house and so did Naruto. Naruto drove them to a small diner they always went too. Hinata smiled because she always loved the food there. A waiter came up to them.

"Hey my name is-oh hey Hinata!"

"Kiba-kun I didn't know you were working tonight!"

"Yea they suckered me into working an extra shift, well how is everything? Last time I heard you were single" he grinned. "So why not take me for a spin huh" He said as he raised an eye brow, he saw Hinata grow red. "Ahh I'm pulling your leg, what do you want to eat?"

"Some spicy Beef ramen sounds good!"

"And for you Naruto"

"Miso Ramen" Was all he said.

"Alright I'll bring your food shortly." He began to walk away. "Oh Hinata, call me" He said as he walked away, which was soon followed by laughter. They sat in complete silence.

"Kiba was joking"

"Why are you explaining yourself, it's not like we are together or anything" Naruto said as he looked down at the table.

"Naruto, I haven't been with anyone else, I been waiting for you" She smiled as she placed her hand on his. This kind gesture only made him feel guilty, she noticed immediately. "I-I didn't mean it-"

"It can't be helped…" The silence returned. They sat there, until there food came and all that was heard was slurps. Once they finished their food, Naruto paid for their meal and they went to the car. The ride consisted of silence. They reached her apartment building, she was about to leave until she looked back at him.

"Naruto.."

"Yea?" He asked

"Let's hang tomorrow, what do you say?"

He couldn't help but smile at her request. "I'd like that, so 10?"

"Yea 10 it is, see you then Naruto-kun"

"See you" He smiled as she closed the door and drove off. Hinata felt a little happiness just of the thought that she would be seeing him again tomorrow. She went up the stairs and her eyes grew wide.

"S-Sakura…" Hinata looked at the girl standing in front of her door. "What are you doing here?"

"Hinata, we need to talk…"

Sorry for the long wait, I couldn't think how to make this chapter work, but I did, well I hope I did! Hope you guys enjoyed it!
