Getting Married

Hinata sighed and looked at her ankle again. '1, I have one more day left. What am I going to do?'

Neji just groaned. "After every thing that has happened, it's like the universe doesn't want you two to kiss." He turned and saw Hinata getting really depressed. Neji started to panic. "I-I-I didn't mean it like that." Neji sighed. 'What are we going to do?'

Naruto was walking back and forth which was irritating Sasuke. He grabbed Naruto forced him to sit. "Look, maybe you should give up on that woman that you think you saw on the ship and move on. This girl is here and I can see that you might have some feelings for her."

Jiraiya grinned. "Plus, look at her! She is completely HOT! I mean, did you not see that rack that she has going on?"

Naruto ran out the door. "YOU ARE A SICK PERVERT!" Naruto stopped running and took a seat on a flat rock. He just stared at the sea thinking about Hinata and every thing that has happened. What Sasuke said still pops in the back of his mind. 'You might have some feelings for her.' He placed his hands over his head and grunted. 'Do I really have feelings for her?' He sighed. 'Maybe I should get over this mysterious woman.'

Naruto got up and walked back to the palace. He then stopped when he heard some thing coming from behind him. 'What a beautiful voice. Wait, I know this sound." He turned around and saw a woman standing by the water, humming a song. She turned to him and smiled at him. He just looked at her, she had the same eye's as Hinata's but this woman's hair is a lot darker then Hinata's, but the voice was something that he could never forget, it has to be her. Naruto just continued to stare at her. "Were you the one that saved me?"

She nodded and continued to smile at him. "Yes I was."

Naruto ran over to her and gave her a big hug. "This is amazing, I have to tell every one."

Naruto was about to go when she stopped him. "That's alright" She then grabbed his hand. "Lets just watch the sea together." Naruto smiled and nodded.

Naruto grinned at her. "By the way, what's your name?"

The woman smirked at him. "My name is Karin."

Hinata walked down the stairs and saw Naruto talking to Sasuke with a woman by him. Hinata walked over to him with a confused look on her face. Naruto saw her and smiled at her. "Hey there Hinata. This is Karin, the girl that saved me from the ship. Karin this is Hinata."

Hinata and Neji's mouth dropped in complete shock. Karin smiled at her and placed her hand in front of Hinata. "It's a pleasure to meet you honey."

Hinata's eye widened. 'That's my voice!'

Hinata started to move her arms around trying to explain what is going on. naruto stared at her in concern. "Are you okay, Hinata?"

Karin wrapped her arms around his arm and smirked at Hinata's hurt reaction to it. "Oh, I think she might just be confused of the situation. She's not going to get all the attention any more."

Kyuubi started to slowly walk up to Karin, examining her. She smiled at the fox. "And what is your name." Kyuubi started to growl and bit in the leg causing her to scream in pain while still holding on to Naruto's arm. Hinata started to laugh a little. Karin glared at the fox. 'Damn that little creature.'

Naruto stared at Kyuubi. "No Kyuubi. let go now." Kyuubi let go, huffed, and ran away. Naruto sighed and then smiled warmly at Hinata which made her blush. "Don't worry Hinata, I'll hang out with you in a little bit. I just have to show Karin around the place."

Karin pouted at Naruto. "Ohhh really, I was hoping that you would spent time with me."

Naruto rubbed the back of his head. "Okay, why don't all three of us hang out."

Karin sighed. 'Damn this will be harder then I thought.' "Fine, just talk to Hinata first, you know girl talk." She then let him go and grabbed Hinata by the arm to take her some place quiet. Karin pulled Hinata in a empty room and locked them both in it. She stared at her and smiled. "Well, what should we talk about?"

Neji jumped out of hair and on to a table. He glared at her. "That is not fair. You said she had three days for him to kiss her and you using HER voice and stealing him away was not part of the bet." Hinata also glared at her and nodded in agreement.

Karin sighed. "Fine, annoying little creature. How about I just add an extra day for you? But, if he kisses me then you loose."

Neji shook his head. "No deal, you need to leave!"

Karin rolled her eyes. "Fine, I will, but think about it this way, if I leave, I'll just tell him that Hinata was mean to me and forced me to leave. He wont have any interest in you."

Neji huffed. "We'll take our chances, right Hinata."

Neji was waiting for any type of sound she could make to agree with him, he stared at her. "Hinata?"

"..." Hinata's head was down, her banges covering her eyes.

Karin smirked and moved her hand towards Hinata. "So, do we have a deal?" Hinata raised her head and shook Karin's hand agreeing to the deal. Karin laughed and left the room. "This should be interesting."

Neji just glared at Hinata for what she just did. "How could you make ANOTHER deal with her. The first one got us in to this mess. And another thing -" Neji stopped and just stared at the girl. She continued to stare at the door. He then looked down and found her hands formed in to fists and were shaking. He sighed and went back in her hair. "Do what you want."

Naruto saw Karin walking to him and he smiled. She smiled back. "So, when are we leaving?"

Naruto shrugged. "I guess when Hinata gets here." Hinata ran down the stairs towards Naruto and smiled at him. naruto grinned at her. "Well, the gang's all here. Lets get going."

"THAT BITCH!"

Neji shook his head. "Now Sakura-"

Sakura growled at him. "Don't 'Now Sakura' me! After every thing she did! She's going down!"

Kiba flew towards them and nodded. "I agree, with you there."

Neji pointed his claw at him. "This is also your fault. If you haven't interfered, then none of us would have this kind of problem."

Kiba just stared with the look of hurt on his face. He sniffed. "F-fine, after all the help that I did. I'll just leave." He then flew away from them.

Hinata looked at her ankle that now have the number 2 again. 'This is going to be a lot harder now.' She then heard laughter coming from behind her. She turned her head and saw naruto leaning in to Karin. She had to think fast before they kiss. She then turned to Neji, grabbed him and threw him at Karin's direction. But missed and hit Naruto instead. Hinata closed her eyes, she did not want to see that sight.

Sakura on the other hand laughed her head off. "That is funny! Well, I gotta go, hahaha!"

Karin was bondaging Naruto up while Hinata was apologizing to Neji. Karin made a worry face. "I am so sorry that, that happened to you."

Naruto groaned and smiled. "Nah, it's alright. Atleast it wasn't the water. Wow you're really good at rapping."

Karin laughed. 'What an idiot.' "Thank you, I want to be a doctor so I can heal people."

Naruto grinned. "Wow, that's an awesome goal. I want to rule my father's kingdom." He sighed. "But first, I have to get married."

Karin smirked. 'This will be easy.' She smiled at Naruto. "Well, I hope you find the right person."

Naruto nodded. "Maybe, I already did."

Hinata was getting angry at the two of them and she did not pay attention that she was squeezing Neji. Hearing Neji screamed, she quickly let him go and apologized for that too.

Karin grabbed an apple from the tree and gave one to Naruto. Naruto grabbed and tackle her to the ground. Seeing those two laughing together was getting on Hinata's nerves. When Naruto was getting to close to Karin again, she quickly grabbed an apple that was on the ground and threw it Karin, but missed again and hit Naruto in the head, which made him pass out.

Hinata groaned. Neji stared at her. "You really suck at aiming." Hinata nodded in agreement.

Karin gave Naruto a bag of ice to put on his head. Naruto closed his eyes and relaxed. "Aaaahhhh, that feels niiiiice. Man, that apple had a lot of force, when it broke from the that tree, huh."

Karin stared at Hinata, who was glaring and sticking her tongue out at her. She smirked. "Yeah, a lot of force."

"Hahahahaha, that is awesome! He even passed out, hahah! I'm liking this side of Hinata, hahaha!"

Neji glared at her. "That is not funny Sakura. Karin's even making sure that he's not paying any attention to Hinata."

Sakura stopped laughing and nodded her head. "I get what you're saying, but what are we going to do?"

Neji shook his head. "I don't know. Hinata went off with them some where."

Sakura smiled. "You might want to go to her, she can't do this alone."

Neji nodded. "Yes, you're right."

The three of them went to the ramen place. Naruto smiled at the guy. "Hey, old man, two bowls of ramen please." Naruto looked at Hinata and he started to panic. "THREE, THREE bowls of ramen." Naruto pulled out a stool for Karin and pulled out another one for Hinata and laughed nervously. "Hehehe, sorry about that Hinata, I completely forgot you were there."

Hinata frowned. 'Nice save.' She took a seat next to Naruto.

The bowls came and Karin stared in discuss at what was in front of her. "What is this?"

Naruto smiled at her. "It's ramen, silly."

Karin pushed her bowl away. "I don't eat discusting things like this." Naruto started to choke on his food, while Hinata continued to eat and smiling at the same time. Karin saw that little smile on her face and descided to get even. She saw a guy holding a bowl of ramen and she used her magic to make him trip, causing him to drop the ramen on Hinata. Hinata got up and ran ignoring Naruto yelling out to her.

Hinata ran towards Neji and Sakura and quickly wash the ramen from her hair. Sakura stared at her. "Oh my god, what happened Hinta?" Hinata just kept crying, trying to get the ramen out of her hair. Sakura rage was kicking in now. "THAT'S IT, NO ONE DOES THIS TO HINATA! WHERE IS THAT BITCH, LET ME AT HER! SHE DESERVES A GOOD BITCH SLAP!"

Neji could here some one coming this way. He got on Sakura's shoulder. "Now is not the time. You'll get your change, but for now, just stay low." Sakura grunted but went in the water any way.

Naruto ran up to Hinata, sat down next to her, and gently touched her hair whiched cause her to flinch. He gently spoke to her. "It's just me, Hinata." She blushed at the way he said her name. He helped Hinata with her hair. He loved at how soft her hair was and he did not want to let it go.

Naruto sighed and stretched his arms out. "You know, this day is not going to well for either of us, huh?" He could see Hinata crying. He sadly smiled and gave her a gentle hug. At first, she flinched but later relaxed in his arms and continued to sob on his chest. "I'm sorry that I have been ignoring you today. You must have felt very lonely. I know that feeling."

Hinata lifted her head a little bit, her bangs blocking her face, tears still in falling down. Naruto let her go and stared at the sky. "I don't know my parents, but I was told a lot from people that knew them. I was told that I was born on a ship at sea and my parents saved me when the ship sank. I made it...but...they didn't. I've been alone for so long, that I didn't know that you were feeling the same way." He sadly chuckled. "You know, it's actually funny. My parents saved me and now this woman saved me."

Hinata embraced Naruto catching him off guard. She did not care if he pulled him off, she would not let go. 'He's been so alone, all this time, and I didn't know. I wish I could tell every thing. That it will be okay, you're not alone any more, I'll never let you be in so much pain, I love you.'

Karin was walking around looking for Naruto. 'Damn, where are they.' She looked at her necklace and saw a crack forming on it. She started to growl. 'I got to find them quick.'

Naruto started to laugh and patted Hinata's back. "Well, it's very sweet how much you care. But what will make me really happy is seeing that pretty face of yours." Hinata slowly lifted her head and faced him, blushing from that last sentence. Naruto smiled. "There it is." He wiped her tears away from her face with his thumb. He started to lean closer to her face. 'I don't know why, I still care for her. I wish she was the woman that first met.' Hinata closed her eyes, leaning in to him as well. They were getting closer and closer.

"HEEEEYYYY!" Just then Kiba comes swarming down and hit Naruto, causing both of them to fall in the water.

Hinata sighed. "Dammit Kiba."

Naruto looked around for the bird but could not find it. "Where does the seagull come from!" He then felt a fierce pinch coming from his butt. "YAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" He quickly got up and looked to find a crab. Naruto grabbed it and looked at it. "Hey aren't you the one that attackd me earlier?" Hinata quickly grabbed Neji away from naruto. He stared at her. "That is your crab?" Hinata sadly nodded. Naruto did not understand. "Wait, so you threw that crab at me?" Hinata rabidly shook her head.

Karin started walking up to Naruto and smiled. "It wasn't ment for you, she was meaning to throw it at me."

Naruto stared at Hinata. "Is that true?" Hinata looked down, biting her lip. "So, you also threw the apple?" She closed her eyes, showing guilt all over her. Naruto shook his head and walked away from her with Karin behind him.

Kiba got out of the water trying to get some air. "What did I miss?"

Sakura and Neji glared daggers at him for ruining every thing. "You're so dead."

Hinata ignored the seagulls cry for help and slowly walked back to the palace.

Naruto stared at the stars out side. "Lovely stars huh?" Turned and found Sasuke walking over to him. Sasuke looked up also staring. "So I was told every thing. Are you that mad at her? You both haven't been talking during dinner."

Naruto sighed. "I don't know. I mean, I should be mad at her, but I'm not. It's like, I don't even care that she did it."

Sasuke patted Naruto on the back and walked off. "Well you still have to pick one."

Naruto rubbed his hair and growled. "Why can't they just fuse together. Seriously, who doesn't like ramen?"

Karin was getting ready for bed when she heard a knock at her door. She opened it and smiled. "Well hello handsome."

Naruto just stared at her. "I need to talk to you." Karin moved for him to enter and then closed the door.

Hinata woke up and looked at her ankle which was back to 1. What was she going to do now. He hated her which made her heart ache. suddenly Kiba comes flying in to the room and happily hugs Hinata. "Congragulations! I'm so happy for you kiddo!"

Neji woke up and glared at him. "What are you blabbering on about?"

Kiba hugged Neji also, ignoring yesterday's events. "I heard a lot of people saying that Naruto is getting MARRIED TODAY!"

Hinata quickly jumped up and ran down the stairs, exited written all over her face. When she got down the stairs she paused. She saw Naruto and Karin talking and laughing. Sasuke walked up to her. "So you heard the news. Naruto and Karin are getting married." And just like that, her world starts tumbling down.
