Chapter 8

Just Tell Her Already!

"What are you trying to say?" Sasuke muttered as he popped a piece of popcorn into his mouth.

"All i'm saying is that you should have been a bit nicer to the lady in the line. You were so rude." Sakura rolled her eyes as the lights in the movie theater dimmed.

"Yeah well she was being rude first." Sasuke sunk into his seat.

"You're such a dumbass." Sakura smiled to herself.

Sasuke smirked and then leaned close to Sakura. "But that's why you love me right?" he whispered into her ear before blowing into it lightly.

"Sasuke..." Sakura giggled.

"What? What am I doing?" Sasuke grinned and then pushed his lips on her ear. Sakura, feeling tickled, grimaced at the feeling.

"Stop it Sasuke!" she whispered harshly.

"But, i'm not doing anything." Sasuke teased as he moved his lips down her jawline. He started kissing her neck slowly as Sakura smirked at the soft feeling of his lips.

"Guys, the movie hasn't even started yet!" Kiba said smirking to himself. He was sitting beside Sasuke, who wasn't even paying attention.

"He's right, get off Sasuke." Sakura pushed him away lightly and then leaned on his shoulder.

Sasuke whipped his head around to Kiba and glared at him before giving a kiss to Sakura on the top of her head.

"Guys, I think Sasuke wants to kill me." Kiba muttered to Chouji, who was munching on his popcorn. He had 3 more extra under the seat, just in case.

"Smooth." Chouji yawned as he glanced to his right. Hinata was hunched over with her hands under her chin as she watched the trailers of other movies intently. Tenten was sitting beside her who was having a cute conversation with Neji.

"I can't believe they're actually going out." Tenten smirked.

"Yeah, I know. Seem's impossible." Neji agreed.

"So Neji, how about you? Who's your lover?"

"I don't have one." Neji smirked.

"Yeah, well we all know the truth. Everyone knows who your lover is!"

"Yeah? Care to enlighten me?"

"Nope. It's a secret." Tenten turned to Neji and gave him a quick wink. She then turned back to the screen and watched the ending of a movie trailer. Neji stared at Tenten for a while and then turned back to the screen also. Naruto, who was sitting to the right of Neji, was intently watching the Spider Man 3 trailer.

"Wow! We have to go see that." he mumbled to himself. No one seemed to be listening. Suddenly, Hinata's head shot up and she quickly gave Naruto a shy smile. After she realized what was happening, she turned beet red and looked at her shoes. Naruto smirked to himself and continued watching the trailer.

"Woah! DUDE! WE HAVE TO GO SEE THIS MOVIE!"

"But i don't wanna go see batman. I saw one and two and three and now theres a fourth one? They were all flops, let's not go and see it."

"Dude..it's Spiderman."

"No. Way."

"Way."

"WOW!" Itachi squealed happily. The audience members all started shushing him and he sunk into his seat.

"Okay. We have to go." Shino nodded his head as he sipped his pop.

"Dude, I have a question."

"Yeah?"

"Would you date Kirsten Dunst?"

"She's a fucking babe."

"Okay good. Cause if you didn't like her, then I wouldn't, but i'd be pretty damn upset cause she's fucking beautiful."

"Yeah, i'd tap that."

"No way. Me first."

"No. Me."

"You know what this means don't you?"

"Three way?" Shino asked a bit confused.

"Dude...no."

"Gangbang?"

"Uh...are you trying to tell me you're gay."

"NO WAY!"

"Okay, I was thinking more rock, paper, scissors but I see how it is. That's totally fine man, I understand."

"Dude..." Shino sighed.

"CAN YOU BOTH SHUT THE FUCK UP? WE WANNA WATCH THE MOVIE!" a random yell was heard across the theater.

"When did the movie start man?" Itachi asked.

"I don't know." Shino said as he focused on the screen.

"What movie is this again?"

"I don't know..hey, where are the penguins?"

"Penguins?"

"Yeah, I thought we were going to see the dancing penguin movie."

"Uh, no..isn't this Casino Royale. Shut up and watch for god sakes."

"Damn. I wanted to see penguins." Shino mumbled as he slumped into his seat.

---------------------------

"Wow, that was an awesome movie." Sakura said as they exited the movie theater.

"Yeah, it was." Tenten smiled.

"Too bad Ino and Shikamaru couldn't come." Naruto said.

"Yeah, but they went out to do their own thing cause it's their anniversary." Neji countered.

"How long has it been?" Sakura asked.

"A whole year." Hinata mumbled.

"Wow, that's amazing. I'm so happy for them." Sakura smiled.

"Alright guys, Sakura and I will see you later." Sasuke rolled his eyes as he unlocked his car door.

"Bye guys!" Sakura smiled as she stepped into his car. After putting on her seatbelt, Sasuke reversed out of the parking lot.

"Finally I get to spend some time alone with you." Sasuke smirked. Sakura smiled and leaned in close to Sasuke's face. Suddenly, her cellphone rang. Sasuke sighed as Sakura smirked and answered it.

"Hello?...Hey Ino...Wow!..I'm so happy for you. Was it fun?...How sweet...No way...He did?...Oh my gosh...I'll talk to you later. Yep. Love ya!" She hung up.

"What was that all about?" Sasuke asked.

"He bought her a ring! A really expenisve one."

"Wow." Sasuke mumbled.

Once they reached her driveway, Sasuke stopped the car and let out a heavy sigh. Sakura opened the car door and was about to exit when another heavy sigh was heard from Sasuke. Quickly, she shut the door and faced him. "Is something wrong baby?" she asked with a worried tone to her voice.

"Nothing." he mumbled. She rested her hand on his and looked into his onyx eyes. "You can tell me." she smiled.

"It's just...it's just that I never get to spend time alone with you anymore. The first month was great but now I barely get to see you because you're so busy." He looked out his window a bit embarrassed to be admitting this to his girlfriend.

Sakura smiled to herself and then took off her seatbelt. "Hm. I know what you mean. Sasuke, how about on Saturday I come over? We can hang out all day. What do you say?" Sasuke looked over at Sakura and smirked lightly. "Yeah, i'd like that." he replied. "What are we gonna do at my house, though?"

"I don't know lots of things. It'll be fun. Just you and me. Let me show you an example." she leaned in close to him and then pushed her lips against his. He smirked and deepened the kiss. Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck but felt uncomfortable by their awkward position. Sakura pulled off him feeling a crick in her back. She smiled at him and then let herself out of the car as Sasuke gave her a nod of goodbye. He then exited out of the driveway and started for his house with a smirk of delight.

Sakura stepped into her house with the sound of her phone ringing. Dashing to the phone, she heard a mellow hello from her friend Naruto.

"Hey Naruto, what's up?" Sakura asked cheerfully.

Naruto stayed silent. Sakura asked again, thinking he hadn't heard her. Again, silence.

"Hey, what's wrong?" she asked a bit worried. A huge sigh was let out from Naruto.

"I need your help Sakura." he sighed. "Really badly."

"Okay, i'm coming over right now." She sighed, put down the phone, picked up her house keys and left her house quickly.

--------------------------------------------

"Tenten, what the hell are you doing?" Neji asked when he felt two hands cover his eyes.

"Damn, how'd you know it was me?" Tenten said sarcastically. She skipped in front of Neji and widened her smile. He rolled his eyes and went into his kitchen. Tenten sat on the couch and picked up a candy from the glass bowl on the table.

"So why did you invite me again?" she asked sweetly as she popped the candy into her mouth. Neji was still in the kitchen and the sound of dishes could be heard. After no answer, Tenten became impatient and lay down across the couch. She glanced outside Neji's window and noticed the sun setting. Tenten let out a quiet yawn and then closed her eyes. Again she yelled out to Neji but he didn't answer. The sounds of the kitchen seemed to sooth her and she quickly dozed off into a peaceful nap.

"Sorry, I was just cleaning the dishes." Neji smirked as he walked out of the kitchen. He paused at the entrance to the living room and rested his back against the outside of the wall. Unaware that Tenten was sleeping, Neji started talking to her.

"Listen Tenten, I invited you here today because I wanted to tell you something. I don't know what it is, but you're always on my mind and.." he paused. "..and I like it. I want you to be there. I'm so happy around you and I think you feel the same way. I don't really know what this is but I want to try and go farther. I love you Tenten. I really do." he smirked to himself and then closed his eyes. "I want you to be my girlfriend. Will you?"

Silence.

"Tenten?" Neji slowly turned into the living room and smirked to himself when he saw her sleeping on the couch. He walked to her and crouched down so that their faces were inches apart. He smirked as she let out another tiresome yawn. "I love you." he whispered before blowing lightly on her face. Her face cringed and then went back to normal. Neji blew on it again and this time her hand flew up and covered her face. Neji stared at her thoughtfully and, without thinking twice, he grabbed her hand and entwined his fingers through hers. Tenten, feeling uncomfortable, started tugging back, as if she wanted her hand back. Neji grinned and tightened his grip. She started tugging harder this time grunting a bit in anger. Neji wanted to let out a laugh but held it in. Tenten pulled as hard as she could and he jolted forward.

Wow, she's strong. He thought. Neji pulled back as hard as he could and Tenten flew forward and off the couch. He let go of her hand and hovered over her to see if she was okay. Tenten moaned in pain and then opened her eyes slowly.

"Neji? What the hell? Why am I off the couch? What did you do to me?" Questions kept flying out of her mouth as she lay on the ground staring up at him. He paused for a moment and then smirked.

"What are you smirking about? WHAT DID YOU DO?" she yelled. Neji stared at Tenten for a moment and she went silent. "What's wrong? Are you okay Neji?" she asked a bit worried. He bent down over Tenten's face and stared at her intently. "Neji..." her voice trailed as he pushed his lips against hers.

--------------------------------------

"Alright, what is it?" Sakura asked once Naruto opened the door.

"You didn't have to come." he notioned her to come inside and then walked to the living room leaving the door wide open.

"Okay, something is definatly wrong. Naruto..." she closed the door and walked into the living room. "What is it?" she sat down on the couch beside him and gave him a secure smile. Naruto smiled lightly and then looked down at his socks. Sakura sighed.

"I have to tell her." he sighed.

"Oh..I get it now. Hinata.." she smiled and then waited for him to continue.

"It's not my fault! I tried to tell her before, it was so awkward though and I don't know if she likes me and everything is going wrong and what if she likes someone else. I'm so confused." He sighed loudly and then angrily got up. "You have to help me!" he yelled.

"Naruto, can you calm down? Of course i'll help you." Sakura smiled and tapped Naruto on the back. "You just have to tell her."

"IT'S SO HARD!" he screamed. "I'm too shy."

"Shut up. No you aren't. You're SO OUTGOING!" she screamed back.

"That's true."

"Exactly. I want you to grab a flower tomorrow and tell her. Do you understand?"

"I think so.."

"Will you do it Naruto?" she sighed.

"Yes I will. Hinata will be my girlfriend!" Naruto smiled.

"Good!" Sakura smiled. She gave Naruto the significant nod and then stomped out the door proudly. "Good luck!" she yelled outside his door.

"Thanks!"

That was easy...He smiled.

--------------------------------------

"So, what do you think?" Itachi whispered as he peered out from behind the wall.

"Let's go in for the kill Cookie Monster." came a reply from the walkie talkie.

"DIVE. DIVE. DIVE" Itachi yelled as he did a summersault to the nearest wall. Quickly, he pushed himself up against it and peered out into the hallway. Coast was clear.

Shino did the same but stayed at the opposite wall of Itachi. After waiting for a few minutes, they both glanced at eachother and then nodded their heads in unison. Silently, they tiptoed over to Sasuke's door.

"What if he's in there?" whispered Shino as he took a sip of his coke.

Itachi paused for a second and then straightened up. "Naw, he's out for the whole day. He told me this morning."

Shino paused. Why were they spying so secretively when no one was home? He shook it off and crouched low to the floor.

"On the count of three, we slam the door open." Shino whispered as Itachi nodded his head and got to the ground also. "One. Two. Three!" Together, they slammed the door wide open and dived into the room. Doing a variety of action moves, they finally jumped behind the bed, onto the floor.

"Wait, dude. Why are we doing this again?" Shino asked a bit confused.

"We have to know man. What if..."

"NO. Don't say it man. It can't be true." Shino stared at Itachi in shock.

"That's why we have to find them man." Itachi whispered loudly. He got up and jumped up on the bed. "Now, where to look?" he asked his sidekick.

Shino sighed and started pacing around the room. "Where would we find...condoms..." Suddenly, he straightened up and dove to the cabinet. Ripping it open, he started digging through it in search of the "material".

"Hey look!" Shino smiled and held out a magazine with a pretty model on the cover.

"There's my boy!" Itachi smiled as he grabbed the magazine and opened it up.

-------------------------------------------

Okay, you can do this Naruto! You can do this! You're a big kid now! Wait a sec...that's from..no. Don't get distracted. CALL HER! Yeah, that's a good idea. That's easier. Wait, what do I say? You'll think of something you idiot. JUST DO IT! Hinata...

Naruto jolted off his bed and ran to the nearest phone. He picked it up, paused, and then quickly dialed Hinata's number.

Ring! Ring!

Pause.

Ring! Ring!

Pause.

Ring! Ring!

Pause.

"PICK UP THE PHONE DAMMIT!" Naruto yelled. He hung up in frustration and then brought a kitchen chair to the phone table. Sitting on the chair, he stared angrily at the phone, focusing with immense power.

Why can't you do it you dumbass? It's not that hard. You just call her and go with the flow! DO THIS NARUTO!

Naruto picked up the phone and dialed again.

Ring! Ring!

Pause.

Ring! Ring!

Pause.

"Hello?" It was a woman.

"Hello, may I please speak to," He paused. "H-h-h-h-hinata?"

"Who's speaking?" she asked kindly.

"It's N-n-n-naruto.." he stuttered nervously.

"Hold on." she put down the phone and all Naruto could here was Hinata's name being called out.

Shit! She's coming. Now what? Oh my god. What have you done?

"Who is it Mom?" He could here Hinata asking her mom.

Now what? What are you doing you idiot?

"H-h-h-hello?" she stuttered into the phone.

"H-hey.." He smiled to himself. Hinata's voice always seemed to cool him but he was a nervous wreck at the moment.

There was an awkward silence. Hinata wanted Naruto to begin but he couldn't quite grasp the words he wanted to say.

"I j-just called to tell you that.." he paused, trying to think of the right thing to say.

"Yeah?" she smiled into the phone nervously.

"I wanted to ask you if you understood the English homework!" he yelled into the phone immediatly.

"Oh. Y-y-yeah, lemme just go and get-"

"Actually, YOU KNOW WHAT!" He was screaming now. "IT'S OKAY! I'LL FIGURE IT OUT! THANKS! BYE!"

"Al-al-alright...see you later."

"Yeah! BYE!"

He hung up.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT YOU STUPID IDIOTIC FREAK! YOU BETTER TELL HER TOMORROW!

Naruto sighed and walked to his bedroom.

--------------------------------

"Hey! Check this one out!" Itachi smiled and held out the magazine as far as he could checking out a bikini model.

"WOW!" Shino yelled. He tried to grab the magazine out of Itachi's hands but Itachi swung it out of the way. They were both sprawled on Sasuke's bed, like little girls, reading his magazine. "She's hot." Shino agreed. "I give her a 8."

"I give her a 7." Itachi smiled and then flipped the page. "How about this one?"

"What the hell are you two doing in my room?" Sasuke rolled his eyes as he walked into his room.

Itachi's eyes widened as he looked at his partner, Shino. Sasuke stood at the door waiting for an answer. Suddenly, Itachi jumped to the floor and got on his stomach. Shino jumped from the bed and jumped into the closet.

"DIVE, DIVE, DIVE!" Itachi screamed.

Sasuke rolled his eyes and closed the door behind him.

"SHIT! We're TRAPPED! NOW WHAT?" Shino screamed. Suddenly, both "agents" started screaming their lungs out. Sasuke gave a face of disgust and then waited. Shino and Itachi both stopped screaming in unison and then got up. "Dude, we were just having some fun."

"YEAH! You party pooper!" Itachi scowled. Sasuke walked over to Itachi and snatched the magazine out of his hands. As he was putting his magazine away, the doorbell rang. Itachi and Shino ran to the door surprised to see Sakura standing there, smiling at them.

"Hey guys! I decided to drop by as I was on my way home." She paused and walked into the house.

"SAKURA!" Itachi squealed. He grabbed her into a gigantic bear hug as Sasuke came walking down the stairs.

"Hey." Sasuke seemed less enthusiastic but Sakura could tell that he was happy to see her.

"Hey baby." she walked over to him and gave him a huge hug followed by a quick kiss on the cheek.

"What's up? Why are you here?" Sasuke asked as he pulled her a bit closer to him. She smirked and explained why she was at Naruto's and how she was just passing by his house and wanted to see how he was doing. "Well, i'm doing fine now that you're here." he whispered. Sakura smiled and started kissing him on the lips. Shino and Itachi stood behind them, dumbstricken.

"Do you think it's time?" Shino whispered to Itachi.

"Let's do this." Itachi cracked his knuckles as both of them stomped towards the couple. Shino pulled them apart as Itachi grabbed hold of Sasuke.

"What the fuck is your problem Itachi!" Sasuke yelled as Shino grabbed Sakura.

"Now, we need both of you to calm your hormones." Itachi smiled. Sakura started laughing as Itachi and Shino led them into the living room.

"Okay guys, sit on the couch." Shino instructed. Both did as they were told and sat silently. Sasuke was frustrated but stayed because Sakura seemed very interested as to what these guys had to say.

"Okay. After a very detailed search in Sasuke's room, we found no condoms. This is both a good sign and a bad sign." Itachi was sitting in an armchair infront of them.

"Yeah! We searched everywhere!" Shino agreed.

"Anyways, we have come to a conclusion that either you don't use contraception or you have never done it."

"Obviously, we've never-" Sasuke started only to be given the hand from Itachi.

"Nut-tut. Shut up. Today, we will explain that contraception is good." Itachi smiled.

"But remember, abstinence is the key." Shino smirked.

"This is bullshit, i'm leaving." Sasuke got up but was only pulled back down by Sakura.

"I wanna hear this." Sakura smiled.

"Okay, we would just like to say." Itachi nodded his head as if signalling to Shino.

"USE A CONDOM!" They both said in unison.

"And?" Sakura smiled.

They paused. "Well,uh, that's all really. We didn't really plan it out." Shino made a huge smile and sat on the armchair.

Sakura burst out into laughter as Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"You think this is funny?" Itachi's eyes widened. "Dude, is this funny?" he whispered to Shino.

Shino shrugged and then nodded his head. Together they both started laughing with Sakura.

"You're all a bunch of idiots.." Sasuke rolled his eyes and walked out of the living room.

-------------------------------------------

Naruto was all pumped that morning. He knew he could tell her. Infact, he was excited. He stepped into the highschool and started searching the halls for Hinata. He was going to get it over with right now. Suddenly he felt someone tap his back. He let out a gigantic scream and whipped around. It was Sakura.

"A bit nervous?" she smiled.

"No. I'm going to do it!" He smiled and got into a superman pose. Sakura smiled and started walking.

"Hey! There she is! Go tell her." she smiled at him and pointed down the hall. Hinata was talking to some people from her Ceramics class. Naruto froze. Could he actually do this? He straightened up and walked towards her. Sakura stood behind him watching the scene of events. Hinata turned around and noticed Naruto walking towards her. She smiled crookedly and then turned beet red. Naruto smiled back. Suddenly, she whipped around and started to run. Naruto, in shock, froze and watched her run away. Sakura, confused, rubbed her eyes to see if this was actually happening. Was Hinata really running away from him?

"What the hell?" she mumbled as Naruto walked back to her, head sunk. "Maybe, she felt sick." she smiled. Naruto smiled and lifted his head.

"Yeah, sometimes she does get really nervous. I'll try again later." he smirked and walked off to his class. Sakura grinned as she waved goodbye to her friend.

Good Job Naruto, i'm proud of you.

-----------------------------------------

"Itachi? What the hell are you doing here?" Shino asked bewildered. Itachi walked out of the bush located infront of the highschool and faced his best friend. "I thought you said you were going to some girls' house today." Shino looked confused.

"I, uh..." Itachi started looking around him.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Shino asked again, a bit angry.

"I decided to come and spy on my brother.." he mumbled.

"Without me?" he paused. "I can't believe you lied! I mean you lie all the time but not to me!"

"Man! I didn't have any pop."

"Oh, so now this is about the pop eh? I see. You think our friendship is only pop."

"No man. Dude..."

"Dude.." Shino said sadly. He started to walk away. Itachi caught up with him and put his hand on Shino's shoulder.

"Shino man, I need you here with me. This is one of our biggest missions. What do you say...Pepsi?" Itachi smiled.

Shino turned around and saluted Itachi. "Whatever you say man! I'm always here for you, Cookie Monster!" He smiled and then dove into a nearby bush. Itachi did the same. "So, what's the plan?"

"Okay, so..this morning...Sasuke accidentally forgot his lunch. Now, you know how much I hate this school. We have to try and do this as quickly and quietly as possible."

"You mean, we have to go in there?" Shinos' eyes widened.

"Yeah man, but I know we can do it. I brought the material." Itachi smiled and held out a necklace with a skeleton head on it. "I'm wearing mine already."

"Dude...the anti school necklace. Brilliant! Now we're safe." he slipped the necklace on. "Wait, what if a teacher talks to us!" Shino screamed but Itachi quickly cupped his hand over Shino's mouth.

"Don't talk rubbish!" Itachi stared at Shino and gave him the look of approval. They both got up from behind the bush and casually started walking towards the highschool.

---Meanwhile-----

Neji was sitting behind Tenten in business class. What happened yesterday all seemed like a blur. Did he go too fast? Was it right to kiss her? Suddenly she turned around and gave him a cute smile. Neji smirked and looked forward at the board.

Tenten was writing down what the teacher had put up on the board. Why did he kiss me? It was so wierd. What if it means nothing? What if he doesn't like me? She looked down at her paper but shook off the negative feelings. The kiss must've meant something. Suddenly a piece of paper was thrown at her from behind. She whipped around. Neji was still looking at the board. She glanced at the ground and noticed the paper ball. Quickly she picked it up and whipped her head back to the front. She opened it, and inside there was a note in nice cursive writing.

"I really enjoyed your company yesterday, thanks for coming over. We should do it again sometime."

Tenten giggled and the class went silent. She looked around and then said a quick sorry. She quickly crumpled the note and stuffed it in her backpack. Yes, we should definatly do it again sometime Neji.

---------------------

"Okay, coast seems clear." Itachi whispered to Shino behind a school wall.

"Yeah, I think they're all in class. Learning stuff..." Shino sighed.

"Ew. Okay, his locker is just up over there. One time, when I was spying on him, I saw him go there so i'm assuming it's his." Itachi pointed to the hall infront of him.

"Go!" Shino started running. Together, they ran towards Sasuke's locker. Once they reached, they started breathing heavily as if they had run kilometers.

"Okay, now the lock." Itachi put his ear to the lock and started twisting the dial. Suddenly, Shino heard footsteps behind them.

"Young men, what are you doing here? Go to class." It was a teacher. Shino started screaming but his mouth immediatly became cupped by Itachi.

"Y-y-y-yes ma'am." Itachi smiled crookedly at the lady.

"What are you boys doing here anyways? What are you doing with that lock?" She started to approach them. Itachi gave a face of disgust and pulled out his necklace.

"STAY BACK! STAY BACK!" He shoved the necklace close to her face.

"What is this nonsense?" The teacher yelled. "You two! Come with me! To the principal!"

"CRAP! WE'RE IN TROUBLE!" Shino screamed.

"STAY BACK I SAID!" Itachi yelled. "SHINO! PUT DOWN THE LUNCHBOX." He paused and looked back at the teacher. "Here, you take the bag...this is what you want right? NOW LET US GO!" Shino put down the bag and they both trampled out of the hallway and out of the school. The teacher stood there dumbstruck.

Stupid kids. she thought as she continued inspecting the halls.

------------------

It was lunch time and Sasuke was staring at his lunchbox, which was sprawled on the floor.

"Those bafoons, I told him I was going to buy lunch today." he rolled his eyes as Naruto came running up to him.

"SASUKE! Have you seen Hinata?" he looked nervous.

"Yeah, she went just up ahead." Sasuke bent down and picked up his lunch box. When he got up, Naruto was gone. He smirked to himself and opened his locker.

"Hinata! Wait up!" Naruto was over-confident. He absolutely knew he could do it. Hinata suddenly started running.

Maybe she didn't hear me.

"HINATA!" he screamed. She just kept running. Naruto started running even faster. Hinata ran into a crowd of people and soon Naruto couldn't find her anymore. "WHAT THE HELL!" He yelled in anger. She really was avoiding him. He angrily spun around to go and find Sasuke again. Dammit. he sighed.

-----------------

The school day was finally over and everyone was standing in a circle except for Hinata. Naruto stood there angrily. He still couldn't believe that she had been avoiding him. Why the hell? I thought she liked me. It was all a lie. He said a quick goodbye to his friends and started walking home. There was a cool breeze out and he felt a bit cold, but he didn't care. Hinata was actually avoiding him. Why would she do that? He sighed again and looked out at the open road. No cars. He looked back at his feet. All he could hear, was the sound of a few birds and random footsteps. Suddenly, something tapped his shoulder. He shook it off and kept walking.

"N-n-naruto?"

Naruto spun around only to be face to face with Hinata. He stared at her and then whipped around again. He didn't want to talk.

"N-n-naruto..please wait."

"No."

"Naruto." She didn't stutter. She sounded stern and serious.

"WHAT?" he yelled. She stepped back in fear.

"I'm sorry." he mumbled. "What?" he asked a bit calmer.

Suddenly, she turned beet red and looked to the floor.

"Well, if you're not going to say anything, i'm leaving. I thought you were different Hinata. I guess I was-"

"I REALLY LIKE YOU!" she screamed.

There was a pause.

"I really like you.." she said a bit more quieter. She turned a very bright red and then fainted to the ground.

"Hinata?" Naruto, confused, knelt to her and held her. Wasn't HE supposed to admit his love for her? She opened her eyes and he smiled down at her.

"I like you too!" he smiled sweetly. She blushed dramatically and then smiled at him shyly. He helped her up and then held one of her hands.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" he blushed.

She turned beet red and nodded her head shyly. Naruto smiled and embraced her. "Why did you run? I wanted to tell you this morning.." he whispered.

"I...thought that if I avoided you, i'd get over you. I didn't think you liked me back. T-t-then I realized th-that I should just tell you, and h-h-hope for the best." Naruto held her shoulders and looked at her.

"Good, cause I thought you hated me." Naruto smirked.

Hinata blushed.

He kissed her cheek and held her hand. "Let me take you home."

Hinata smiled and nodded her head.
