Disclaimer-I don't own Naruto sadly.

This chapter is longer than the last chapter but it is still a little bit shorter than what they usually are.

Chapter 4: The Long Journey

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto and Hinata were heading out on their mission together. Hinata felt kind of bad because she couldn't keep up with Naruto's speed. Naruto had to carry Hinata on his back.

"I'm sorry I'm not as fast as you Naruto-kun."

"That's ok Hinata-sama," Naruto said as he skidded to a stop. "Carrying you on my back is a good workout for me." He smiled really big.

"Hey," Hinata said as she hit him on the head. "That's not funny."

"Ow, I was only kidding geese." Naruto said. "You got a strong punch Hinata-sama."

"Hmph," she said as Naruto helped her down off his back. "Well I've been working at it and I've been working out with Neji for the past three years."

"Wow, so you must be pretty strong."

"Well no duh, you try training with a guy who won't let you quit training till it's dark."

"Really so what time did you go out to train?"

"Uh, four in the morning." Hinata said. Naruto's jaw dropped to the ground.

""Seriously, so you trained for over twelve hours with Neji."

"Yea, why?"

'Don't you ever get lonely with just him around?"

"No, not really, at night I hang out with Tenten-chan, Ino-chan and Sakura-chan."

"You mean you seriously hangout with them."

"Yea, why."

"Well because they are crazy they fight over someone who has been a NMIA(Ninja missing in action in case all of y'all don't know that already) for three years, we don't even know if he is alive,"

"Well they at least think he's alive unlike you!"

"I never said that I think he's not alive."

"Well," Naruto started to laugh. "Why are you laughing?"

"You're face you look so seriouse."

"Hey," She turned around so Naruto couldn't see her face.

"I don't ever remember you this talkative especially with me."

"Well a lot has changed." Hinata said blushing.

"I can see that, but you still blush whenever I am around you."

"Hey!" Hinata said while she turned around to face him.

"See you're blushing right now." Naruto said smiling.

"So and your point?"

"I like it when you blush."

"You do!"

"Yea, it reminds me of the last time we saw each other three years ago." Naruto said grinning.

"Oh," Hinata said blushing and smiling.

"But now I'm taller than you, so I can do this." He went behind Hinata and hugged her from behind.

"Uh," She started blushing a lot and looked up at him; he leaned his head down and kissed her on the lips.

"We should get going now."

"Uh, yea we should."

"Tenten was right you have changed quite a bit by being more talkative, but you still blush a lot."

"Uh."

"But that's ok, I like it when a women blushes." He said smiling.

"I think we should probably go now."

"Yea, your right."
