Disclaimer: Naruto's still not mine.

Here's chapter 2! I was actually planning to post this after 6 hours so yeah~

Naruto ran and jumped. He kept on running and jumping just to find her, he knew that he should ask for forgiveness immediately, because he couldn't bear to think that the next time he'll see her, her smile's officially gone. He would blame himself forever if her smile would never return in its most beautiful.

The moment he caught on indigo locks, he immediately went and descended from the rooftop he was on. He yelled her name from afar then grabbed her shoulder and spun her around, knowing that it's her, his one and only sunshine.

"Hinata…." He managed to say in between heavy breaths

"Ho-hokage-sama?" she said quite confused

"Hinata, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I take back what I said! So please, don't act like that anymore… I'm sorry." He repeated saying sorry over and over again while holding her shoulders with his head bowed down.

"A-ano…. Hokage-sama, why are you apologizing? And please, stand up. Everybody's already looking." Hinata managed to say, hoping that the hokage would hear her words while he's asking for forgiveness.

"Hinata… please, stop. Address me the way you usually do."

"But… I always address you Hokage-sama?" she stated like it's the most normal thing in the world

Naruto, hearing her words, immediately straightened up showing complete shock on his face.

"Wha-what did you just say?" he asked flabbergasted

Hinata didn't answer, completely at a lost with how her hokage is acting. She's clearly confused.

"Hinata, please, cut it out already. I really didn't mean it! I'm really sorry. Please forgive me! I didn't even expect me to say those words. I'm completely sorry." Naruto said pleadingly, he's no longer liking the way Hinata's acting, it's completely throwing him off guard.

"But, Ho-"

"Naruto." Naruto interjected

"But.. Na-Naruto…-san" Hinata started

Naruto, completely shocked, said quite confused "san?"

"I'm so sorry! I really don't know how to address you other than hokage-sama! And please, stop saying sorry! You didn't do anything wrong!" Hinata said while panicking, "I'm sorry!" she yelped and with that, Hinata left in a hurry leaving a dumbfounded hokage on the streets.

Naruto stood there for a minute while the people around him resumed to what they're doing, while some whispered to each other's ears about the scene that they've just witnessed.

"It's not funny." He muttered, looking at his now clenched hand that he used before to grab her shoulder.

Hinata let her legs carry her to wherever as long as she's far from their hokage. She's really confused as to why their hokage would ask for her forgiveness when clearly, he didn't do anything wrong. She pondered on this for a while but failed as headache began to build up.

"Nevermind. Maybe it's just because of his work that he's saying things." She shrugged

She found herself near the river where she used to practice her techniques and form when she was younger. She smiled and walked towards the river to help her relax.

Naruto went back to his office gloomily. When he opened the door, he saw his advisor, Shikamaru, then muttered a quiet 'hello' to the shadow-nin.

Shikamaru, completely aware of his hokage's gloomy state, immediately formulated a conclusion as to what brought him to this state.

"Probably Hinata…" he smirked then began the interrogation

"What's up with the duck-face, huh? Naruto." He said teasingly; using his name means he's on the friend mode.

Naruto only groaned. Shikamaru, knowing Naruto for years, was thrown off guard. A Naruto who doesn't reply means trouble. "He's serious, how troublesome."

"What is it?" Shikamaru inquired, hoping for a better response.

"It's Hinata." Naruto stated.

"Bingo."

"You know what? Sometimes, I do wonder how the both of you could get into fights. I mean, you two love each other so much that you could understand each other without even saying anything."

"That's the problem. I love her so much that sometimes, I forget that she's stronger than what I think she is and my overprotective instincts come into action. I mean, could you blame me? She's the only one I need in my life and I couldn't bear the thought of losing her. But this time, I messed up big time." Naruto confessed

"If you're saying that to me right now and you're actually saying that you messed up 'big time', I am sure that this is something really serious."

"You see… Hinata's acting all strange with her calling me 'Hokage-sama' and 'Naruto-san', I mean c'mon, she never addressed me as 'Naruto-san' and what's weirder is that she kept on insisting that I didn't do anything wrong when in fact, we just fought a few hours ago! She even said 'sorry' to me when I asked her to cut it out."Naruto explained

Hearing this, Shikamaru tried to put the pieces together and he knew that something is missing. It's really weird if Hinata said 'Naruto-san' because all along, she addressed him as 'Naruto-kun' and everybody else. There's really something wrong.

"Naruto, when you two fought, what did you say to Hinata that really messed everything up?"

Naruto debated with himself whether to tell the truth or the half-truth, he decided to tell the whole truth.

"I said, I wish I had never met you." Guilt shown on his handsome face

Shikamaru sighed and thought that Naruto could be a complete idiot sometimes and childish too.

"Troublesome" Shikamaru muttered

Naruto didn't find it offensive because he knew it's his friend's habit just like his dattebayo. He looked at the picture frame on his desk, their wedding photo, and to his wedding ring on his left-ring finger. He looked up when he heard Shikamaru ask another question.

"Did you notice someone near the vicinity when you two were talking? Or did you even feel a presence outside the door?"

"Ummm… I'm not quite sure because I was too focused on our argument but there was a moment when I felt a spike of chakra coming from the door-ttebayo." Naruto recalled

"Troublesome." Shikamaru stated with a sigh.
