A/N ok heres the second chapter…..enjoy….I don't own Naruto cause if I did, the fillers wouldn't of happened…….Yeah I'll try to make this one a little longer…and with less dialogue….I like the "……"s…..yea read…and REVIEW please, it makes me feel the need to write more.

---------------------------------------------Naruto's House---------------------------------------

Naruto walks into his apartment, which is completely clean unlike when he last left. "Wow granny-Tsunade must've hired someone to clean the place up for me," Naruto said to himself. Naruto walked over to the fridge and saw….nothing. He checked all the cabinets, drawers everything…and nothing. "Where's all my ramen!" Naruto exclaimed. "I had instant miso, beef, spicy, (idk all the ramen flavors Naruto eats)…..I guess Tsunade threw em' all away."

Naruto looked on the counter and saw an envelope with Naruto on it. He opened it up and it said:
Naruto, since the villagers weren't buying you food anymore, the bought you coupons to Ichiraku Ramen, for 250 bowls of ramen, any flavor. Spend them wisely.

---Love Tsunade

"Wow 250 bowls of ramen!" Naruto's stomach growled. "I'm gonna go out now, I bet Ayame and (place Ramen man's name here) musta missed me!." Naruto then ran out towards Ichiraku Ramen.

---------------------------------------------Ichiraku Ramen----------------------------------------

Naruto was walking up towards Ichiraku when he saw Hinata sitting at the counter, with a bowl of hot, steamy, delicious…..ramen.

Naruto went in and took the seat next to Hinata, "Hi Hinata-chan!" Naruto said (loud and confident as he always is).

"H-hi Nnnarutokun" blush, plays with fingers, looks down Naruto just stared at her when,

"Naruto-san its been so long!" exclaimed Ayame!

"My business is almost bankrupt thanks to you leaving." said Ramen guy.

"Well for about a 2 weeks, your gonna be close shows coupon book ," said Naruto. "Hinata-chan, what are you doin here?"

"Well…um…ss…since you la…like ramen s..so much I uh though I should ta..try some, an..and I've been eating ra..ramen here since you left." Hinata managed to stutter out.

"Naruto, what would you like?" asked Ayame.

"Miso ramen, then BBQ ramen, then beef, then egg….(Naruto went on to like 15 bowls…)" Naruto rambled. (Ramen guy started making the ramen).

"Wow, you haven't ordered that much since you and Iruka used to eat ramen together."

"Oh yeah, whats up with Iruka-sensei, how's he been holdin up?" asked Naruto

"He's good, he comes here every once in awhile. He's got a girl now—

"Iruka-sensei OMG! and it only took him like that long (not that Iruka was ever gay, and Naruto didn't think that!) I never thought it would happen since all he did was teach and eat ramen with me" said Naruto, amazed.

"Yeah well without you he's gotten out and done stuff," said Ayame, not realizing what she just said to the demon-child.

"….guess I'm still looked down upon in this village…" Naruto said, now sad.

"No no no no no no no no no I didn't mean it like that Naruto! I was just kidding with you! We don't look down upon you!" said Ayame hastily.

"You don't have to explain, I know what you mean," said Naruto, thinking of his horrid past.

"Nn..naruto-kun, I've always looked up to you…and… huge blush etc. ….never thought bad of you… bigger blush ." Hinata managed to say.

I wonder if she likes me, or just doesn't wanna look at me, nah Hinata wouldn't lie, but she coulda said she liked me, maybe she doesn't have feelings for me, and is just trying to comfort me,…..ok too complex for me I'll find out eventually, but should I ask her now….nah "You really look up to me Hinata-chan? And I mean not just height (since he grew from short to tall for his age) like…you know what I mean," asked Naruto.

"Yes," Hinata said on impulse. look down, play with fingers blush, immediately

"Thanks Hinata, I've always….looked up to— (Hinata's thoughts) is he really gonna say it? Does he like me? Please say you do please Naruto-kun, at least say-- you too…..in fact I….. why is he stalling, he's always confident and…maybe he does like me, but should I ask him….not now… …la..li…..oh look my ramen's here." Naruto said just in time to get outta that situation.

Naruto finished 7 bowls in like 2 minutes, when the ramen dude started making more (trying to get Naruto and Hinata to talk). "nn..naruto-kun, how was your training?" asked Hinata.

"Everyday was essentially the same; wake up, Jiraiya would show me a jutsu, I'd practice it till he got back from his "research" and then I'd show him, he'd say 'work on it' or 'good job I'll give you something new tomorrow' and then he'd go back out and I'd go to sleep" explained Naruto. "but that's not too interesting, what happened to you while I was gone, other than you eating ramen?"

(ok just imagine Hinata stuttering, I cant type all those stutters unless I really want to emphasize her feelings) "well, I trained with Neji after he apologized for what happened inn the Chuunin Exam. He wouldn't show me any of his jutsus, but he showed me his basic taijutsu and his chakra control, so that helped me a lot. Then I made a few of my jutsus. After Neji, I trained with Shino and Kiba when they were here and not training alone. And recent;y, I've been sparring with whoevers around, even Sasuke, but in any spar we don't use jutsus, only taijutsu." explained Hinata.

Naruto then ate his last 3 bowls, and payed for his and Hinata's ramen. "Naruto you don't have to pay for me," said Hinata.

"Nah don't worry about it, Tsunade and them gave me a bunch of coupons, so I'm ok…for about a week or 2," explained Naruto.

"You don't have to waste you—"

"Don't worry about it."

"But, Naruto they're for you not m—"

"I want to pay for you."
