Now I leave you to read the story.

Naruto and Hinata had been traveling within the shadows of the trees for hours now the sky which had been filled with stars and few rays of light that they had set out at, was now a great blue ocean which hovered above their heads. Now the time was getting around noon and the two young shinobi now needed some time to rest. As Naruto and Hinata leaped from the branches they were perched upon, onto the ground but as they did that Naruto lost his balance and twisted his ankle. First came the noise of his ankle cracking and then he let out a shriek "Ahhhh".

Surprised by the sound of hearing Naruto's terrifying scream Hinata turned around and hurried over to the blond boys side.

"Naruto-kun are you okay do you need any help getting up"

Naruto looked at Hinata with a smile on his face and jokingly told her.

"Hehe don't worry Hinata it's nothing to worry about I'm already feeling bet...Ahhh."

Naruto shrieked again when trying to stand up and Hinata even more worried than she was just a few mere seconds.

"Are you sure that you are okay Naruto you seem really hurt."

Naruto with a calm look on his face just told Hinata.

"Yeah I'm sure that I am Hinata I guess I just need to rest for a couple of minutes and while we rest we could finally eat something."

Hinata with a happy look on her face to see that the boy she cares so much about was okay just told him.

"Okay Naruto-kun I'll start a fire while you wait here and get our food out of from our packs so that we can cook it."

With a slight nod of his head Naruto agreed to getting the food out and Hinata was off to get something to start a fire with. After a couple of minutes Hinata came back to where she had left Naruto he was now able to slightly stand up from his twisted ankle but she could tell that he was still in some pain from his ankle.

After seeing that Naruto was trying to stand up correctly Hinata asked worryingly.

"Naruto would you like me to bandage up your ankle so that if feels better."

Naruto looked towards Hinata making sure his sapphire blue eyes would met with her lavender eyes and told her.

"Sure I would really appreciate that a lot Hinata."

Hinata could feel the blood rush to her face when he told her that and when their eyes met but she nervously told him.

"Umm s-sure N-Naruto-kun I just have to get the things from my pack."

As she left Naruto could tell she was nervous about something, but as much as he thought what she could be worried about he couldn't think of anything that could possibly make her act like that. Now Hinata was back with what she needed for bandaging up Naruto's ankle, but before she did, she made sure to at least start the fire for their food. Now Hinata was ready to bandage Naruto up as she kneeled next to Naruto's ankle she could see that the muscles around his ankle were a pinkish-red color but, she knew it couldn't be anything bad.

Just as Hinata finished taking care of Naruto's leg he told her.

"Thank you for wrapping my ankle up Hinata."

Then as he said that he touched his ankle and accidentally touched Hinata's hand, now Hinata was on the brink of fainting considering that she had just felt Naruto's hand touch her own and him being grateful for her help. Now Naruto was wondering why Hinata's face was red, but his train of thought was interrupted by the massive growl of his stomach.

Naruto now with a huger greater than of a man that hasn't eaten in days asked Hinata politely.

"Hinata would you like to eat lunch now?"

Hinata surprised by his request could only utter one word from her mouth.

"Y-Yes..."

With Hinata's approval Naruto could have cried tears at the fact that he could eat something now, as he got his food out of his pack he noticed Hinata looking around hastily and decided to ask her what was wrong.

"Hinata is everything okay, because you seem worried."

She turned around and with a shy look on her face told the blond boy.

"Umm I think I forgot my food for today and I didn't bring any other food."

Naruto looked at Hinata with a sad look on his face and then he told her.

"Well Hinata if you don't have anything to eat then you can have my instant ramen I was going to eat."

Hinata was blushing at Naruto's suggestion but she told him.

"But Naruto-kun isn't that your food I can accept it if you were going to eat it."

As soon as Hinata finished that sentence Naruto said with a cheerful tone of voice almost like if he did it on instinct.

"Well if you don't want it all to yourself maybe you and I could eat it together?"

As the thought of her sharing a meal with the person she's loved for almost her whole life, she had to lean on a nearby tree to make sure she didn't fall in case she fainted. Naruto caught that she was starting to lean on the tree so he came closer to her and made sure she was okay then he said with a cheerful look on his face.

"It looks like you're more starving than I am so let's start eating so that we could get back to our mission."

Hinata didn't know what to say to Naruto after having said that but he had already started to give her another pair of chopsticks so that they could eat from the bowl the ramen came in. Just as Naruto put his chopsticks into the bowl he looked at Hinata just to reassure her it was fine to eat from his ramen, she hesitated for a while but eventually her hunger got to her so she started to eat with Naruto. After just a few minutes they were almost about done with the ramen that they were eating, then Naruto asked Hinata a question.

"Why were you so worried about my ankle earlier."

Hinata with a bit of blush on her cheeks tried to tell Naruto without trying to expose that she liked him.

"Well it's because you see umm you and me are on this mission together so I want us to get back without being too badly hurt Naruto-kun."

Naruto with a small smile told her that he was thankful for her worry for him. Now they were done with their ramen, so now it was the moment of truth to see if Naruto could get back on his feet normally so Hinata stood by him as he tried to stand up. Then just as he was almost completely picked himself up he trip on himself and fell on Hinata. Both their faces had met and their lips were pressed up against each other neither of them knew how to react until a few seconds after they realized what was happening. Naruto immediately stood up after understanding what happened and told Hinata that he was absolutely sorry about what just happened.

Now it took Hinata a while to figure out that Naruto was talking to her and she told him.

"I-It's f-fine N-Naruto."

He made sure to see if Hinata was fine with what just happened after he was reassured by her, he told her that they should get going to the border before it gets any later. Hinata agreed with the boy, even though her only thoughts were on the fact that she just kissed him.

After hours of more traveling from the center of the Land of Fire to the border they finally made it on the last few rays of light that day had to offer. Naruto and Hinata had just arrived to the border and they had found the perfect place to make their camp for the night it was next to a big lake and on the other side was a village. Now since they were ready to start on their campsite Naruto took his tent out of his pack and was ready to set up he looked over to see if Hinata needed help with her tent, but he saw that she was looking in her pack furiously, so he walked over to her and asked what was wrong .

"Hinata do you need any help with setting up your tent."

Hinata turned around with a sad look on her face and talked to Naruto in a low voice.

"I-I forgot my tent."

He was surprised by this but then he told her if she would like to share his tent with him. She was surprised at the fact that he made such an offer but it did beat sleeping outside and plus she would be able to spend the night with the person she loves. Later as they set up the tent and were about ready to go to bed Naruto broke their surreal silence and asked Hinata.

"Can I ask you something about me kissing you accidentally earlier today?"

Hinata was completely shocked by this because she wasn't expecting him to ask such a question but she did answer him.

"Umm yes you can Naruto-kun."

He put on the best serious face he had and asked the lavender eyed girl.

"Do you feel the same way that I did when that happened?"

She was completely mortified by what he just asked her but she responded to him with all the strength she could get.

"Y-Yes I did Naruto."

Naruto's now serious face changed to a cheerful one and he just let out one simple question.

"Hinata do you like me?"

Now at this point Hinata was about to faint because of the questions he asked her but nether the less she responded to his question with just a few words.

"I've liked you for a while now Naruto."

His faced grew a smile that even the sun could compare to its brightness and he asked her.

"Hinata would you like to be my girlfriend."

Hinata at this point didn't comprehend what just happened and passed out for a few hours. Then when she woke up she could see that she was in the same tent as Naruto he was passed out on the other side of the tent. She then thought to herself. "Could that have been a dream Naruto asking me to be his girlfriend that's impossible well I guess I'll ask him tomorrow when he wakes up."

Just outside of their tent as they slept the area around the village on the other side of the lake was being showered in an unnatural red lotus petals, which no one had seen before nor did they know what they meant.
