Here is the next chapter.

Wide eyed Naruto was staring at the card. Though he was sure there was no difference between the cards and Hinata's own handwriting he still was not sure. What if someone copied her hand writing. What if she left this box on the wrong door step? All of the 'what if's where running through his mind at the moment. And most of them pained him because if Hinata did leave the box on the wrong door step, then the goggles weren't meant for him. He has had these goggles for so long now and treated with the upmost care so if she did ask for it back Naruto probably would give it back. But Naruto is Naruto so even if he would probably be depressed about giving up his goggles, he would do so since he considered himself an "ok" guy. And that's what "ok" guys did right?

His physical needs pulled him from his thoughts and focused Naruto on what he needed. Sleep. But as he was getting ready for bed to the point where he was in bed, with his night cap on and such, was thinking about Hinata and the goggles that were so precious to him yet Naruto didn't realize it until today. But before drifted of to sleep on more "what if" passed through his mind that put a smile on the tired child's face. "What if the present really was for me?"

Time skip to: the next morning.

A extended 'yawn' was given from Naruto as he slowly started to wake up from his sleep. Turning over to his back, he gave a long stretch of his legs and arms while let out another yawn.

The alarm clock didn't go off' Naruto pondered why he so how made himself wake up 55 minutes early the usual. Sitting up in his bed he brought his right knee to him and rested his right arm on his knee. 'Still thinking about her. Why have I been thinking about her? She has been on my mind ever since I heard her name yesterday. Ugh I haven't even spoken to her yet and this is confusing.' With a sigh he laid back in his bed with a *thump* and turned his head toward his goggles. Looking at them for guidance he asked, "what should I do?"

After laying in bed for about a minute or two Naruto decided to get up and get ready for today's class, since it appeared that he was not going to sleep any time soon, which was in about an hours. To satisfy his mandatory needs of hunger that was put in to check while Naruto was asleep he started walking toward the small cabinet were he kept all of his ramen. Once close enough he opened the door to pick out which flavor he wanted to eat today. But found that it was empty.

"WAHH!?" Gasped Naruto. There weren't any ramen in the cabinet anymore. But like always the very slow Naruto remembered that he had a midnight snack after he relived himself.

"Dang it. Now I have to go out shopping ( means only ramen to Naruto at the moment )." complained Naruto. Walking around the apartment he grabbed his clothes and headed toward the bathroom to wash up. He didn't take very long because it was not easy to ignore a loud stomach.

Once Naruto got out of the shower he quickly throw on his usual orange clothes and headed for the door while picking up his goggles along the way. Opening the door to exit his apartment he stopped before completely shutting the door behind him. Without even thinking, Naruto doesn't even think he had control over his body at the moment, walked back to his bed and picked up the card that was still in the small box Naruto opened last night.

'Hinata.' That one word went through his mind again before putting the card in his pocket, then headed out the door and shut it behind him. Locking the door he turned his head to the right to look at the sky and the tops of houses when he got an unnerving feeling in his gut. This is going to be a weird day Naruto thought.

Once Naruto got to the street it was like flicking a switch on. All the people that were walking and shopping each gave Naruto a glare. A glare so judgmental that it made Naruto sometimes wish one would just end it a kill him. They all wanted to and sometimes it only got worse since they would ignore him once he turn their way. But would stare him back down when Naruto would turn his head. But the worst part is that Naruto never knew why all these people made him out to be despicable. They all judged him with those glares and it just made Naruto hate them more for never bothering to even give him a chance.

As he was making his way to Ichiraku's for breakfast he could sometimes over hear some of the villagers. Usually it was about him and it was never pretty what they said. But one of the shop keeps said something that almost cut to Naruto's core ( thank god he is so stubborn ).

"Why is he up so early?" said a bystander.

"Umfph. Must be a bad omen." Responded the shop keeper with a disgusted tone. He spat on the ground toward Naruto's direction and headed back in to his store.

After over hearing that Naruto was about to break. He wouldn't know what he was going to do. It was either run away or beat the shit out of that guy. He didn't know and thankfully would never find out because someone caught his attention.

This is Hinata's POV right now. Starting in the morning.

Hinata was wide awake. She had to fight Hanabi, her younger sister, last night. Hinata lost yesterday because of holding back her strength. Lucky no one noticed it however because she lost her confidence fell by her father, Hiashi, reminding her how much of a failure she is for losing to her younger sibling. After being out down like that she cried herself to sleep. She felt like no one in her family cared about her other then Hanabi. But her overconfidence still put down Hinata.

Remembering the past night she felt like crying again. But her body refused to comply. Her body had more pressing matters that needed to be meet. Like food. And the restroom.

After showering and getting ready for the day she was about to go eat with her sister and father but decided against it. From what happened yesterday she needed something to help pull her on her feet. The best part is since it is breakfast she can eat her favorite food. Cinnamon rolls. Grabbing her own gama-chan she headed out of the Hyūga complex to fulfill her stomach desires.

She didn't have to tell any one at the complex where she was going because usually no one cared other than Ko, her personal guard (I think he is a guard. I don't know though), but his was on a mission somewhere dealing with something crazy.

Walking down the road toward her desired breakfast bar she couldn't shake the feeling that some one was thinking about her. Usually it would be an uncomfortable feeling but instead has a warm feeling in the middle of her chest. She wondered what Naruto was doing at this moment. Reaching her destination she looked up at the sky and gave a pleasurable sigh ( for the feeling she was have, not for the bar). She was about to enter then bar before she felt a pair of eyes watching her. Turning toward the direction of the feeling. She saw a beautiful blonde female walk in her direction looking right a her. Hinata blushed a little bit but didn't rightfully know why. But something seemed oddly familiar to Hinata about this female but what was it?

Back the Naruto.

Naruto saw Hinata looking at the sky with her pupil less lavender eyes that seemed to glitter in the sun light. He was about to walk up to her before noticing that what stood in between him and Hinata was Ichiraku's. If Naruto walked by and Teuchi greeted him then Naruto would have to step in and eat. And if Naruto didn't do that then Teuchi might get mad for being ignored. Naruto wanted to eat but REALLY wanted to speak to Hinata first. There was only one way to slip by while being unnoticed.

"Transform!" whispered Naruto. His voice was followed by a puff of smoke. As the smoke reseated revealing a busty blonde female. Taking the opportunity he/she ( hahahaha ) walked by Ichiraku's, despaired protest from his growling stomach, toward Hinata who started turning his direction.
'She looks puzzled. She looks kinda cute too with that faint blush.' thought Naruto. He didn't rightfully know why he thought in that way but he didn't care all that much.

"Hi there Hinata! What are you up to?" Asked Naruto in loud voice which was just shy of being considered yelling. Still not realizing that he was still a 'female.'

"H-hi. Sorry for me f-forgetting you if I have meet you before. So if you don't m-mind me asking, w-who are you?" asked Hinata with some stuttering here and there but all the same still very polite like she has been taught.

"What do you mean who am I? It is me!" responded Naruto a little confused at her response. It made him worry again like he was last night.

"W-who are you? asked Hinata again tilting her head a little bit, confused.

"Why don't you recognize me? I was.." Naruto would have finished his sentence but he was distracted by a growl from his stomach that rocked his body effectively halting the transformation jutsu followed by a puff of smoke.

The sudden smoke time Hinata by surprise, so much so that all she could do was watch as it cleared. She had a very confused face on until the smoke cleared revealing her crush holding his ravage stomach as it constantly was barking out demands for food. After collecting the image in front of her she flushed faster then the speed of light. At the sight of Naruto, as if it was a instinct, all of he blood went to her head.

'T-t-t-that w-wome-en w-was N-Naruto-kun?!' She thought while feeling a bit light headed. But similar to Naruto, just not a loud, her own stomach was calling for sustenance which brought some of the blood from her cheeks some where else that needed it. Refocusing she was able to stammer out, "H-hi." That was all that she could force out from her mouth because every thing else was being weighted down by her shyness.

"Ooo so you do recognize me." said Naruto with a large grin that spread across his face. Then opening his eyes a bit more notice that Hinata was extremely red. Though it was cute in Naruto's opinion he couldn't stop his 'good guy' from being a bit concerned and asked "Hinata are you sick? Your face is very red. Do you have a fever? Here let me check." said a concerned Naruto was also blushing slightly, however he was oblivious to it, reached over to feel Hinata's forehead. Before he could make contact she pulled away making Naruto frown a bit at this.

Now to Hinata.

Hinata noticed that Naruto was about to feel her head to see if she had a fever. Noticing this she pulled away quickly knowing that if he did make contact that would be all she could handle and would faint dead away to find her self waking up in the hospital a week later.

"I-I'm f-f-fine N-N-N-Naruto-kun." said the struggling Hinata with her nerves. Finding an excuse she said "I-I-I'm j-just a l-little hungry." Then a wiggle came from her stomach that told her different. She was VERY hungry.

"Are you sure Hinata? Your face is really red and if you have a fever you shouldn't be up and about. said Naruto still conserved for her. Hinata caught this as was touch that he was concerned for HER. She started fiddling with her index fingers and responded.

"I-I-I'm fine N-n-Naruto-kun. R-R-R-Really. said Hinata as she quietly gasped for air as that sentence wiped her out.

"Ok Hinata I believe you." said Naruto not wanting to push the subject any further if Hinata didn't want to. "So what are doing Hinata?" asked Naruto still not quite getting the signs from Hinata's rumbly tumbly.

"M-me? I-I was about to e-eat breakfast. W-w-what a-about y-you?" asked Hinata some how pushing the words out of her mouth. She didn't want this to end. Her crush was talking to her. After all the scenarios she made up in her head to try and confront him and talk to him, Naruto came up to HER!
"I was about I eat breakfast at Ichiraku's." said Naruto. Putting both hands behind his head and with a smile from the idea he just got he asked, " Care to join me?"

Those four words that just shook Hinata's consciousness. Those were four word she has always been wanting to hear from Naruto. But she was hardly ready for them. She was about to faint but her stomach saved the day with a loud growl. The noise turned a few heads in her direction silently thanked her tummy and then after a few silent moments Hinata responded but with an ever so quiet voice the rivaled a whisper. "Y-Y-Y-Y-Yes I-I-I-I would l-l-l-love to j-j-j-oin y-you." said Hinata sacrificing volume for quantity of words.

"Yay!" yelled Naruto but before he could grab Hinata's hand a take her to Ichiraku her stomach gave yet another protest. This time taking it as a hint ( really Naruto smh ) asked, "Are you sure you want ramen?"

"Y-Y-Yes I d-do." said Hinata. This was followed by yet another growl. This time cursing her stomach.

"Do you want something else?" asked Naruto. Though he wanted ramen he really wanted to get to know more about the girl Hinata he finally noticed.

"N-n-no I am fine." said Hinata. She didn't what to somehow ruin this moment that stumbled a cross her. When the stomach was heard again all she wanted to do was punch it till it shut up but she didn't do that because it would draw WHY to much attention.

But Naruto had enough of her denying it. He know that she didn't want ramen. So remembering about being an 'ok' guy said, "Hinata I know you are lying." then with a smile Naruto said, "What do YOU want to eat for breakfast?"

"Nothing. I am fine with ramen." said Hinata with a smile. When Naruto saw this he felt warm again like he did yesterday because that smile was for him.

There was a sweet scent in the air. Some one could tell it was a baked food. It had a spice on it unlike any other which made it unique. Naruto smelling this silently crave what ever that smell was. He looked to his right toward the bar they were standing in front of to find what it was. They were bread that swirled to its center with browns marks on it coupled with what looked like white frosting. Looking back at Hinata noticed she was looking at the same thing, but drooling a little bit. 'I think this is what she want' Naruto told himself. He was reassured by this when an explosion came from Hinata's midsection ( soooo unlike her haha ). He noticed that she started blushed madly at her sudden "outburst" but was snapped out of it when Naruto said, "Hey Hinata, do you want that for breakfast" smirking as Hinata nodded.

"Well then let's go eat!" Said Naruto. And with that both raced to a open table to get the mystery food. The people already in the bar were amazed at the speed at which they toke their seats. Well they were hungry. VERY hungry. Famished and a lot more adjectives to go along with it. Taking notice a waiter came over to them and asked the two what would they like to eat. The waiter, or he, got his answer fast from Naruto. He pointed to the mystery food and said, " I would like what ever that is. But give me a lot of them. Like 20 of them." Both Hinata and the waiter as well as a few people who over heard Naruto's remark look at him with astonished wide eyes at the shear quantity of the mystery food he wanted.

"Ok." said the waiter still in disbelieve. "Do you want a side along with you cinnamon rolls?"

"Ooo so they are cinnamon rolls." said Naruto while nodding his head. "I'll take eggs. Ooo and some orange juice."

"Ok." said the waiter written down what Naruto ordered on a piece of paper. " And what would you like Miss?"

Hinata didn't know what she wanted for a side so she just copied Naruto." I-I will have some c-cinnamon rolls too. O-only 6 of them. Side eggs and orange juice t-too." Said Hinata with a smile. The waiter nooses and went to the back to give the bakers want the two have ordered.

"Hey Hinata. How long do you thin it will take for them to make our food?" asked Naruto sounding desperate with both hands cradling his stomach. Hinata just shrugged being too sidetracked by her stomach to squeeze a word out.

It was as if the Kami himself though one cinnamon roll because a large tray of 18 and a much smaller tray of 6 where headed toward their direction. The waiter put the cinnamon rolls on the their table, 18 to Naruto and 6 to Hinata. Then he gave both their drinks and sides and backed away quickly as both Naruto and Hinata unleashed their ravage sides. But Naruto's was much much worse. They both were takin hostage by their stomach. There was no talking involved. Though Hinata would have liked to enjoy the meal with Naruto hr instinct pushed that away. Both finished their meal within 5 minutes.

A series of satisfied sighs were coming from Naruto as he tapped his happy tummy and leaded back. Mean while just smiled at him. Then the waiter came by amazed at how fast BOTH of them finished their food. Especially the blonde kid.

"Well I hoped you enjoyed the food." The waiter wonder if they tasted the food at all since they finished so quickly.

"Yes I liked it alot. I may have to come over more often!" Exclaimed Naruto with a huge grin.

"Y-yes thank you for the meal." replied Hinata. The waiter left and then came back with their bill. Naruto was actually surprised that he didn't triple the cost of the cinnamon rolls. When the waiter came back to get the check Naruto remembered what day it was.

"Hey do you know what time it is?" ask Naruto.

"Yes. It is 8:26." said the waiter.

It toke a moment for Naruto to realize when school starts but Hinata is not as slow as slow as Naruto was.

"Naruto-kun we are going to be late for class!" She said in a louder then normal tone and without stuttering.

Finally comprehending what Hinata was saying Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand and started running to the academy. But as he was running toward the academy he felt like he was anchored down a little bit. Looking backward the saw that Hinata was on the ground. He had been literally dragging her to the academy. Hinata fainted right away when Naruto grabbed her hand back at the breakfast bar. In the action he was getting ALOT of publicity from the villagers who were watching him the whole time.

'Dang it!' Naruto thought. What should he do know? He had to get Hinata to the academy! There was only one way. Naruto walked over her body and picked her up and started running toward the academy carrying her bridal style. This action drew even more attention, and for one in particular person it was not a welcomed sight.

Now at the academy.

Naruto and Hinata bursts a in the the class room causing all of the residents in the room, except for one, to stare at them both.

Iruka was tempted to start yelling at Naruto until he noticed a red faced girls behind him. Iruka smiled on the in side but on the outside tried to act annoyed, but it was not working very well, and stated to the both Naruto and Hinata to take their seats.

Hinata was headed toward her seat but was a surprised to notice that Naruto right behind her.

Blushing a little Naruto asked "Hinata can I sit with you today?"

"Y-y-yes I-I would l-love it if y-you would s-sit with m-me." said Hinata who at the moment mentally knocked her head for stumbling for words.

"Cool. Thanks Hinata." said Naruto with a grin. But this was a different grin front the other ones. This was truer then the ones before. This grin was like what a piece of chocolate is to a peanut butter ( I like this combo ).Bliss. Snapping back to reality Hinata toke her seat followed by Naruto who sat next to her. She still couldn't help but blush during the while process.
Naruto noticed that Hinata was blushing ever since she woke up.

Flashback.

Owwww why did you have to faint Hinata!? Naruto thought while running through the streets. Toward the academy with Hinata in his arms. She must be really sick. But as he was running he could help but noticed how cute Hinata looked. But he was pulled from that thought when she started stirring. Like a reaction, mainly because he was embarrassed and because he is Naruto, dropped Hinata on the floor. The sudden impact made her wake right up.

When Hinata opened her eyes she felt that she was laying in the floor and quickly shot up. Looking at Naruto she nervously asked him, " W-what h-happened?"

"Well," started Naruto rubbing the back of his head because he hoped that Hinata would approve of him carrying her. "You kinda passed out so I had to pick you up and carry you to the academy." Naruto true to sound as innocent as possible.

But all that Hinata toke from what Naruto just said was that he was carrying her. Several shades of red pasted through her face before being cutt off by the still oblivious Naruto who asked, "Are you ok? Your face is very red."
Before Naruto could continue Hinata looked away twiddling her fingers while saying "W-we better hurry t-toward the academy r-right N-Naruto-kun?" With that being said Naruto nodded as they both headed for the academy.

End of Flashback.

For some reason it was Naruto's hope that Hinata never out grows her blush because it made her look so cute in his opinion. After this thought it didn't take long before Naruto started day dreaming. The dreams were mainly about him and Hinata training, eating and doing more together (he is still being innocent guys ). He wondered why he thought he was thinking about Hinata and not his crush Sakura. But he discarded that a told him self that he now has a different cruch before looking at Hinata and his mouth forming a small visually pleasurable smile.

An hour later.

Iruka has a good eye for people daydreaming. He always catches Naruto, actually he is not good at it. Naruto just makes it so obvious. Making a loud noise that pulled Naruto back to reality then said "Naruto I have a question for you." said Iruka. He know that he should never call on Naruto but he could shake the feeling that eventually Naruto will grow up a little and manage to stay awake. After he got Naruto's attention who just looked up at him then asked "What element is best used against earth?"

Crap. Naruto thought. He did know this. Was just like yesterday where he go difficult questions. But unlike yesterday he got a little hint. A slightly blushing Hinata was tapping in her paper, which was close enough to see it, that had the answer.

"Ummm is it lightning?" Asked Naruto who was a bit skeptical.
Iruka as well as the rest of the class, including Sasuke but excluding Hinata, was surprised that he got the question right. They all were looking at him blinking in surprise. Iruka shaking his head continued the lesson.
Naruto lead of to Hinata's ear and then said "Thank you Hinata." Naruto being SO VERY CLOSE to her made her almost be on the verge of collapsing. But she just said, while wearing a huge blush as always, "Y-your welcome N-n-Naruto-kun. I-If y-you need h-help with notes just a-ask me." finished Hinata with a smile.

Naruto nodded and was able to take a few notes writing down one last thing before drifting back from reality.

30 minutes before class ended.

Iruka once again was going to awake up Naruto. It was getting annoying. So Iruka decided to make a more physical approach. Walking up to the unconscious Naruto, Iruka chocked his fist back and slammed it in the the back of Naruto's head.

Naruto was dreaming of him and Hinata sharing a bowl of ramen. There was a noodle that both of them were slurping on before they realized that both of them were slurping the same noodle. Their lips got closer and closer and CLOSER before a blunt pain woke him up, before the climate of his dream, which was followed by an annoyed Iruka's words that are as follows. "WAKE UP NARUTO! I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION TO ASK YOU!"

"Ok ok ok." said Naruto while rubbing the back of his head. "What is it?"

"This should be easy. What are the three elements that a ninja has in their arsenal? If you get this right Naruto the class gets to leave early." said Iruka. As if the class already know that Naruto would get it wrong started groaning and shaking their head in disappointment.

"Sure I know that one I wrote it down in my notes." said Naruto. Yet again the whole class with the exception of Hinata looked at Naruto in stripes to found out that Naruto toke notes. 2 for 2. And he was about to make it 3 for 3. " The answer is Taijutsu Ninjutsu and Genjutsu."

Right when Iruka said correct most of the class got up and started heading for the door. Someone even saying, "Good job Naruto." which made Hinata, Iruka and of course Naruto smile.

"Nice going Naruto." said Iruka with a smile on his face as he patted Naruto on the shoulder before heading toward he desk.

Hinata was about to congratulate Naruto but was stopped when he look in her lavender eyes with his own blue ones and said "Thank you again. If you don't mind I would like to sit next to you from now on Hinata-chan. That is if you don't mind."

Somehow holding her own said "I-I would l-love if you would." Naruto noticed her red face once again but now he was starting to get the hints. But he figured he would wait a bit longer to ask her out. He then walked with her outside the academy neither one of them saying a word which kept the tension between the two high.

"Well i guess i will see you tomorrow Hinata-chan"said Naruto. His face or voice didn't show it but he really didn't want to leave her side.

"B-bye N-Naruto-kun" responded Hinata. She likewise didn't went to leave Naruto's side but she needed to head home. So they both went their separate ways for the day.

Naruto:

On his way back he saw a villager that had the same eyes as Hinata head in the direction she went. Before completely passing him the stranger made a powerful glare at Naruto. But he refused to let that get the best of him for today was the best day of his life. So far.

Stepping foot in to his apartment he felt very alive inside. He found someone that noticed him. And he decided then and there that he will do anything he can to keep her.

Putting his hands in his jacket pockets for the first time today he felt a piece if paper. It was the card that he toke with him today. And he completely forgot about it. Sighing he looked toward his balcony and told himself that he will ask her tomorrow.

Hinata:

Hinata just had the best moments of her life as she was walking toward her house. She practically spent the day with the one person she always dreams about. HER one and only Naruto-kun. And she vowed that nothing will ever get in the middle I either of them.

Coming back from her thoughts she looked up at the entrance to the Hyūga complex. Just then fear toke her over. What she saw was Hiashi, two elders and a mystery Hyūga appear. Tears started to form in her eyes as she weakly whispered to herself, "Oh no."
