Chapter 3 is finally here. Hope you enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Wish i did though.
Naruto was lying on the roof of the building that he lived in. A full moon was in the sky, shining brightly down on the landscape. His hands were behind his head, supporting it while he stared up at the moonlit sky.
"Aw dammit! Why the hell did I go and do that?!" He screamed inside his head. "Okay, just calm down. There are at least two possibilities. One is that she likes me, and that would make it okay, but then if she doesn't like me, then I'll never be able to face her again!!!!" He got up and whacked himself on the head a few times. Suddenly, Sasuke appeared out of nowhere.
"Hey, I heard what happened. All that I have to say is damn. I didn't think that you would do something like that." He sounded impressed.
Naruto was so surprised by Sasuke's arrival and what he said that he himself nearly fell off the roof. "How the hell did you find out?!" Naruto asked, regaining the balance that he had lost when he had gotten up.
"That would be Sakura. She's the one who told me," Sasuke said, giving a small smile.
"How did she find out?!" Naruto asked, still a little shocked.
"Ino told her." Sasuke said calmly. "And Kiba told Shino, and Shikamaru told Choji and Asuma. Then Shino told Neji and his team, while Asuma told Kakashi, Anko, Kurenai, and Guy about it. Naruto, the news that you kissed Hinata is spreading like wildfire. I bet that Tsunade will know about it before morning."
"Neji heard about it? Great, I bet he's having a fit about that!" Naruto said crossing his arms.
"Actually, he took it pretty well. Somehow, I think that he was expecting something like this was going to happen. He even told me one time that Hinata liked you."
Naruto's ears twitched at the last sentence. Suddenly he went from sitting down to being in Sasuke's face within about two seconds. "What did you say?"
"I said that Neji once told me that Hinata liked you. What, you didn't know?" Sasuke asked. Naruto hadn't noticed the question though.
"Hinata likes me. She really likes me." The same thoughts echoed over and over again, making Naruto's heart beat harder than any drum. His eyes glazed over, as he thought of her, so timid and beautiful, like a small flower in a grassy field. The world around him almost ceased to exist as he went into this trance like state.
"Hey, earth to Naruto, are you there?" Sasuke said waving a hand in front of Naruto's face. Naruto snapped out of his state immediately, leaving behind his thoughts of Hinata. "You need to stop doing that. One of these days you are going to zone out, and it might just cost you dearly."
"Uh huh," Naruto said barely letting the words register in his mind. "Hey Sasuke, I'll see you later, okay?"
"Where are you going?" Sasuke asked with a little grin on his face.
"That's none of your business," Naruto said in a childish tone. After that, Naruto took off across the rooftops, moving so fast that Sasuke had trouble keeping up with him.
"He's probably going to find Hinata." Sasuke thought with a smile. "That's the only natural thing that he would do, but still, why am I getting such a bad feeling about this?"
The wind blew, whipping Sasuke's hair around as leaves flew by his face, giving him an even more ominous feeling.
Kakashi, Anko, Kurenai, Asuma and Gai were sitting at a corner table in the local bar. Several bottles of Sake were sitting in the center of the table, and several shot glasses were sitting in front of each Jonin. Gai's cheek were already turning a little red, and they had just gotten there not long before. They were laughing and discussing the news that Asuma had just heard from Shikamaru.
"I still can't believe that he did it," Kakashi said, taking another shot of sake. His mask was off, revealing his smooth face. "I never knew that Naruto had it in him. It must be all that time he spent with me."
"Oh sure," Anko said leaning on him. "The most that you ever did when he was with you was read those perverted books." She decided to be bold too, because she leaned up and kissed him. After they disconnected she said, "They aren't that bad though." Everyone at the table laughed at that point.
"I never even thought he would do something like that," Kurenai said. "I know that he's quick to attack on the battlefield, but I figured that he would at least be a little cautious when in came to the game of love."
"Hey he still did it," Asuma said, lighting up a cigarette. " And that's all that counts."
"It makes me happy to know that our students are growing up so fast," Gai said with a little tear in his eye. His face was now so red that they were surprised he hadn't fallen over yet. "If Naruto was capable of that, then maybe there is hope for Lee too."
"What, Lee hasn't found a girl yet," Kakashi said, laughing a little. "He's more like you than I thought." Everyone burst out laughing at this point, even Gai. All of a sudden, a new voice sounded, making the laughter die down a little.
"Hello Kakashi, Anko, Kurenai, Asuma, Gai. What's all the commotion about?" Hiashi Hyuuga asked as he walked over to the table.
"Well hello Hiashi," Kakashi said, raising his uncovered eyebrow in surprise. "This is a surprise. We almost never see you away from the Hyuuga estate."
"Yes, well, I figured that it was a good night to get out of the house." Hiashi said with a small smile.
"And what a beautiful night it is," Anko said, putting an arm around Kakashi's neck. "Come on Hiashi, join us for a drink, won't you?"
Hiashi decided not to argue; because even though he was stronger than Anko, once she got like this it was best not to mess with her. Also, it had been a while since he had gone out, so he figured why not make the most of it. He sat down with them and had a few shots. Before long, he was laughing and joking along with the rest of them. The six of them were having a grand time.
All of a sudden, Kakashi said, "Hey Hiashi, have you heard the news."
"What news?" Hiashi asked sounding a little confused.
"Well isn't that surprising. We figured that it would have made its way straight to you since it involved your daughter." Kurenai said it with a smile on her rosy face.
"What about my daughter?" Hiashi asked sounding even more confused, and a little worried at this point. But then he thought, " Wait, if it was bad news, then they wouldn't be acting like this."
"Well, from what Shikamaru told me," Asuma said. " He and Ino had been having ramen with Kiba, when Hinata came into the shop looking exhausted."
"Apparently, she had been out looking for Naruto most of the day," Kakashi said, taking over the story.
" She'd been looking for Naruto?" Hiashi asked, making sure that he had heard right.
"Yeah, Naruto." Kakashi repeated. "Anyway, she was about to go looking for him again when he walked in the door of the shop. She met him halfway across the floor, saying that she needed to ask him something."
"Okay. How is that big news?" Hiashi asked.
"Not that. What happened next is the big news," Kakashi said as Hiashi poured himself another shot. " Apparently, Naruto said that there was something that he needed to tell her. And then he kissed her. Right on the lips."
Hiashi did a spit take, covering Gai with sake. Gai didn't really notice though, mainly because he was passed out cold. Coughing, Hiashi asked, "What did you say?!"
"I said Naruto kissed her," Kakashi said as calmly as he had said it before. "Then he ran off, leaving Hinata in the middle of the room, blushing like a cherry."
"I have to go," Hiashi said, getting up very fast. "I've got to find my daughter."
"Aw, why?" Anko asked as he started to leave. "This is perfect. They would make such a cute couple."
"That may be what you think, but I don't share that opinion." Hiashi turned to face them. "I DON'T WANT MY DAUGHTER HAVING ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT FOX CHILD!!!" With that outburst he ran from the bar, all eyes on him as he left.
"Aw hell," Kakashi said getting up. "We have to stop him before he does something drastic. Kurenai, Asuma, take care of Gai. Try to sober him up. Anko and I'll go after Hiashi. C'mon Anko, we've got to go."
Anko nodded, and they ran out of the bar after Hiashi, hoping to catch him before he found either Naruto or Hinata.
Hinata sat under a tree on the edge of Konoha. Staring up the moon she remembered the moment that had taken placed earlier, when Naruto had kissed her. She blushed at the memory of it. At the same time, though, she wished that she could go back and repeat that moment over again.
"That was the happiest moment of my life," she thought to herself, letting it replay several times in her head. "Why did he do it though? Does he really like me?" She blushed again, thinking of the sweet taste of Naruto's lips. Suddenly, she heard a noise from one of the trees.
"Who's there?" she asked to the darkness as she stood up. A figure jumped down from the trees, and landed in front of her. It was Naruto. He was a little sweaty, and a little short of breath, but it was definitely him.
"Oh, It's you Naruto," Hinata said, blushing slightly. "What brings you here?"
Catching his breath, Naruto said, "There's something that I need to say." Hinata's mind jumped back to earlier, when he had said something similar and ended up kissing her. She turned cherry red again.
"W-w-what is i-it?" Hinata said, trembling a little at the thought of Naruto kissing her a second time. However, this time he embraced her. Hinata's eyes opened wide with surprise.
Naruto swallowed. His mouth was dry, but he still found the word he wanted to say.
Taking a breath, Naruto whispered into Hinata's right ear, saying, "I love you Hinata."
Hinata's eyes, which were already opened very wide, opened even wider. Tears started to well up in her eyes, and she embraced Naruto as well. She buried her head into the shoulder of his jacket.
As Hinata cried tears of happiness into his jacket, she choked out the words, " I love you too, Naruto." She hugged him even tighter, never wanting to let him go.
Suddenly, a new voice sounded, making each of them let go of the other. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY DAUGHTER!!" Hiashi Hyuuga jumped from the nearest tree, Byakugan eyes activated, throwing a punch that landed right in Naruto's chest. Naruto flew back about ten feet and hit the trunk of the nearest tree, pain shooting up his back. Blood dripped from his mouth as he fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Naruto!!" Hinata screamed staring at the unconscious form of Naruto. She rounded on her father, screaming, "Why did you do that father!? Why?! I love him! I LOVE HIM!" Hiashi had heard enough. With his right hand, he jabbed Hinata on the side of the neck, making her fall over unconscious.
"Hinata, you will thank me for this someday," He said as his Byakugan deactivated. He picked up his daughter in is arms and jump away, leaving Naruto to bleed from the mouth. Less than 5 minutes later, Kakashi and Anko showed up. They checked him all over, and then took him to the hospital in Konoha. They stayed with him most of the night. The next morning, Gai and the others showed up.
"How's he doing?" Kurenai asked when they entered the room.
"He's fine," Kakashi said looking at Naruto lying in the bed. "He had some broken ribs when he got here, but they are almost healed."
"Man, the power of the nine tailed fox still amazes me," Asuma said. "What happened to him though?"
"As far as we can tell, he was attacked by Hiashi," Anko said from the chair that she was sitting in. "That's all that we could tell."
"Hinata…" Naruto whispered from his bed. "Hinata…I love you."
"He's been like that since we found him, always whispering the same thing," Kakashi said, giving Naruto a look of sadness.
"Hiashi overreacted to the whole thing," Guy said looking at Naruto as well. "He went to far."
"Yeah, he did," Kakashi said. "Now what are we going to do about it?" The five Jonin stood there for a long time, trying to contemplate their next move, all the while Naruto whispered, "Hinata I love you." to the air.
