Naruto caught Hinata as she fell.
"Wha..." Hinata woke feeling groggy...
"Where am I?" Hinata jolted up and looked around and then relaxed. At least she relaxed until Naruto sitting in the corner began to wake up and she started freaking out because she was still in the hospital clothes...
Naruto sensed a movement in the room and slowly raised his head.
"Hinata's awake!" He thought as his entire face brightened.
"Hinata I..." Naruto froze as he realized she was changing right in front of him...
Naruto forced his eyes closed and stuttered, " H-hinata-chan... I'm really sorry... I didn't.."
"N-naruto it's fine." Hinata said sweetly. " I know you didn't mean to."
"Thank you." Naruto said obviously relieved. "Um Hinata-chan... I wanted to thank you for helping me out back there, you really didn't have to.
"He called me chan." Hinata giggled to herself, then she turned a little more serious and looked at Naruto's beautiful blue eyes and said, " I wanted to h-help N-naruto-kun. You don't deserve having them do that to you all the time."
Naruto had never been so happy in his life, even when he first became a ninja. Here the girl he secretly loved telling him that he doesn't deserve the life he has and then saying this...
"I really did it because... I love you Naruto-kun." Hinata whispered.
Naruto still heard this and hugged Hinata and whispered right back, " I love you too Hinata-chan, and you didn't even stutter."
Naruto moved Hinata's face as if to get a better look and then kissed her. Not full of lust, but a sweet pationate kiss. The stayed like that until they heard the door being unlocked by one certain fangirl of Sasuke... Sakura. Sakura saw them hugging immediately jumped to conclusions and ran outside talking loudly about how she was going to tell Ino that Hinata's not "pure" anymore.
Naruto couldn't have been more pissed. He was about to go chase her down and tell her how her would never do such a thing to Hinata, unless they were married, but instead of that happening, Hinata just grabbed his arm and pulled him back into another kiss.
Naruto's intentions of killing Sakura went away in seconds. Hinata pulled away from Naruto and said, It's okay Naruto-kun. I'll j-just tell my f-father..." She stopped mid sentence and immediately ran away, straight home, leaving a confused and lonely Naruto.
