Alright so this is my NarutoXHanabi story. I hope you like the Halloween-ness of it. I couldn't help myself. Also if you've never heard of the movie I mention in here, don't worry about it. But if you get the chance, I recomment you watch it. It's great.
Naruto, Hanabi, and the assorted other characters that I may mention do not belong to me.
Hanabi was angry. This wasn't really surprising since Hanabi was a very angry young woman. But Hinata had ditched her. Well not really, because it hadn't been Hinata's choice. They had planned on going to the annual Konoha Halloween party together, but instead her sister now had to go on a mission. She didn't have anyone else to go with and she really wanted to go. But she didn't want to go by herself. Everyone else was already going in a group and she wouldn't be allowed to just join in with them. And Neji refused to be seen with her in public.
So she had left the Hyuuga complex in a huff. She was angry. Not at anyone in particular, just angry. So she wasn't paying attention when she turned a corner and ran into the one and only Naruto Uzamaki. She bounced backwards, but caught herself before she fell down. "Oh sorry," she said and then started to walk away.
"Hey wait!" he called to her. When she turned around, he asked, "Aren't you Hinata's little sister?"
"What gave it away? My extremely introvert personality or my eyes?" she asked sarcastically.
Naruto ignored the question and the tone of derision in her voice. "So were you invited to the party tonight?"
Hanabi sighed. "I was invited, but I'm not going because I don't have anyone to go with."
Naruto's eyes lit up. "Wow, neither do I. We could go together. That is…only if you want to," he said, trying not to make himself sound desperate.
Hanabi saw this as being the perfect opportunity, even if she didn't really like the older boy. She'd be willing to put up with him so long as she didn't have to go alone. "I'll do it," she said after waiting a bit so that it looked like she had to think about her answer. After all, the Hyuuga didn't want to appear desperate either.
"Alright!" Naruto declared excitedly. "You want me to come pick you up?" he asked.
Hanabi thought about it. "Hmm…it might be better if I come get you. Father would be angry if you came to pick me up." Naruto nodded, knowing full well that Hiashi was crazy and that this was a logical suggestion. "So I'll be there around seven, I guess."
"Cool. That sounds like a plan." Naruto smiled at her, waved goodbye and then headed off to see Tsunade like he'd been doing before he ran into the youngest Hyuuga.
Hanabi was dressing up as a vampire for the party. Mostly because she thought that it was a good idea for her since her skin was pale, her hair was dark, and her eyes were a strange color. She heavily applied eye make-up to give herself the "living-dead" look. She had managed to find a pair of those fang caps, so she put them on her canine teeth, and she instantly had vampire fangs. The last step was her bright red lipstick. This was all an accent to the black dress she'd found in her deceased mother's closet. She figured it must have been her mother's wedding dress because marrying into the Hyuuga family was like committing suicide.
It was a pretty dress, regardless of what it had originally been used for. It had a tight bodice with a flowing skirt. It also revealed more of Hanabi's chest than she thought was appropriate, but vampires were supposed to be a little trampy so Hanabi just went with it. When she finished with her costume, it was just about seven. So she checked her appearance in the mirror one last time, just to make sure she looked enough like a vampire and headed off to go pick up Naruto.
He of course was ready to go when she got there and he was very excited. She found it ironic that he had chosen to go as a vampire as well. And when she made a remark about how their costumes, he just grinned, saying, "We're perfect together, Hanabi."
She shook her head as they made their way into the bottom of the Hokage's tower, where the party was being held. Hanabi didn't have many friends. Her teammates had decided not to come. She didn't know why. But she was there and she was going to enjoy it. So she grabbed herself some punch, and went to see who she could talk to. Of course she saw Neji and pointedly ignored him. As well as a few others who she didn't feel like socializing with. She realized there was no one who she wanted to talk to so she sat down, feeling sad and disappointed. This was why she had wanted to go with Hinata. No matter what, she would at least feel appreciated around her sister, as well as have someone to hang out with.
Naruto had made his way to talk to his assorted friends. Everyone was there, and he was having a fun He realized that Hanabi was sitting on a chair looking forlorn. Since technically she was his date, he decided to see if he could make her feel better. "Hey Hanabi!" he greeted her cheerfully as he walked up to her.
Looking up at him, she said, "Oh, hey Naruto."
He frowned at sat down beside her. "You don't look like you're having a good time. What's wrong?"
"Well, I don't have anyone to hang out with. None of my friends are here."
"Why don't we go dance? They do have a little dance area over there," he said as he pointed in the direction the music was coming from. Hanabi nodded in agreement. It would be better than sitting by herself and not doing anything. And so Naruto and Hanabi danced for a while.
Surprisingly, Hanabi found the blonde entertaining. He was really funny and an easy person to be around. She couldn't help but like him. But as he danced with her, Hanabi started thinking about what else their relationship could become. A reel of what-ifs played through her head. And some of these what-ifs were causing her to blush. She was glad for her make-up at that moment. Naruto would never be able to notice the reddish tone of her skin.
"Hey Hanabi!" he shouted so that she could hear him over the music. "Do you wanna go back to my place and watch a movie?"
Hanabi, who had by this point formed her own little crush on Naruto because of the kindness he'd shown her, nodded in agreement. The two of them left, and headed back to his apartment. During the walk, Hanabi kept sneaking little glances at him. Yep, she'd developed a crush faster than she thought imaginable. He was so cute and sweet and nice. She finally understood why her sister liked him so much.
The thought of Hinata made her gulp. What would her sister think if she found out that her younger sister liked the same guy she did? But they had reached Naruto's place and all thought of her sister was erased by thoughts of being alone with Naruto in his house.
Naruto showed her to the living room and told her to make herself comfortable. So she sat down while he went to change. Having changed into his normal outfit of black and orange, he walked back into the living room. "I'm going to make some popcorn then. If you want, you can change into these. I didn't think you'd want to watch a movie in that pretty dress." Hanabi blushed at his statement, and stood up to take the white t-shirt and pair of sweatpants out of his hands. She thanked him as he told her that she could change in his bedroom.
So Hanabi went off to Naruto's bedroom and changed, found a hanger in Naruto's closet and hung the dress on the door before she left. She sat back down on the couch and Naruto brought in the popcorn. He announced, "I know this movie is really cheesy, but it's one of the best Halloween movies I've ever seen." Hanabi shrugged. She didn't really care what they watched just as long as she got to spend more time with Naruto. So Naruto started the movie and sat down beside her.
After an hour and a half of horror comedy, Idle Hands ended. "Yeah, that movie wasn't scary after I found out that Anton's hand was what was killing the people," Hanabi said. "But it was good though."
Naruto smiled. "I'm glad you liked it." Naruto looked at the clock, and commented, "It's pretty late. Shouldn't you go home?"
Hanabi looked at the time and saw that it was well after midnight. Her father cared about her, but he wouldn't notice if she didn't go home. He would have just assumed she had mission that she hadn't told him about. So Hanabi shrugged and said, "Nah, I won't be missed."
"Well you can spend the night if you like," Naruto casually suggested.
Hanabi was quite excited by this. Spending the night with Naruto…heck yes! He stood up and led her to the bedroom. Hanabi started getting nervous and flustered. She was going to do it with Naruto! Hot, dreamy, kind Naruto. She stepped in and climbed into the bed Naruto smiled at her. "Alright Hanabi, have a good night. I'll be on the couch if you need me."
Hanabi's dreams about sleeping with Naruto vanished. Oh well, maybe that was for the best. "Good night then," he said as he turned his back.
Hanabi shut her eyes and told him, "Good night." Mentally she berated herself for allowing herself to have fallen for Naruto so quickly. It was…well, mostly it was unexpected. He was a few years older. But she liked how he treated her. Most people ignored her, but he was different and had paid attention to her. She liked it. Plus he was good looking.
She opened her eyes and looked up at the ceiling. She stared at the writing there in horror. Written in fluorescent letters were the words, "I'M UNDER THE BED." This caused Hanabi to freak out, as of seeing how that phrase was a pertinent part of the horror movie she had just watched. So she screamed and ran out of the bedroom and right to Naruto on the couch. She got on the couch next to him and tried to calm down.
He opened one eye up to look at her. "I got you," he said, a mischievous grin adorning his face.
Hanabi glared at him but snuggled into his. "It wasn't funny," she whispered.
"Yeah it was. But just relax and go to sleep." Hanabi nodded and rested her head on the pillow that they happened to be sharing. "Oh, and Hanabi," Naruto said to her quietly. She tilted her head up to look at him, as his lips pressed against hers.
I'm sorry for using Idle Hands. I was watching it so that's what I blame. I hope you liked it.
