Bonus Chapter: An Evening To Remember
"There he is…he's so wonderful…but…why can't I ever muster the courage to tell him how I really feel?"
Hinata Hyuuga watches from around a nearby corner as Naruto casually walked down the streets of the Hidden Leaf Village, whistling and minding his own business.
Hinata sighs.
"My heart beats loudly whenever I think of him…or even look at him…this feeling is so…so…"
Before Hinata could finish gathering her thoughts, her concentration was broken when someone from behind tapped her shoulder, making her jump slightly at the sudden gesture. Spinning around, she was face-to face with Neji Hyuuga.
"Oh…uh…Neji…what are you doing here?" Hinata asks, taking a deep breath of relief. She didn't know what she'd do if it were Naruto standing before her. She's probably faint, like she always did whenever he came near her.
"Hinata, I came to tell you that Naruto Uzumaki wishes to see you later this evening at this very location," Neji says to her.
Hinata nearly froze with excitement and fright at what she just heard.
"N…Naruto…wanting to see me…?"
Those words echoes through Hinata's mind. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
At first Hinata was reluctant to go along with the plan to meet him here later that evening.
But something within her told her to go through with it.
Hinata took a deep breath and smiled.
"Thank you for letting me know, Neji," Hintata says to him.
She was, for now, feeling confident enough to go trough with this ordeal.
Later that evening, she arrives at the very location Neji spoke of…the location Naruto wanted to talk to her. She was anxious and nervous at the same time.
"Hinata?"
The voice that called out her name caused Hinata to freeze up in surprise. As she suspected, it was indeed Naruto.
She turns toward him and smiles, blushing profusely.
"Hey Hinata, its great you're here. There's…something I wanted to talk to you about," Naruto says to her with a warm smile.
"Um…w-what is it?" she says, eager to hear what he had to say to her.
"Well…this may sound sort of weird to be asking you this…but…would you like to...I don't know…go on a da-" Naruto started to say.
However, Naruto's question was suddenly interrupted as his sensei: Kakashi, appears before him.
"Naruto, there is an emergency that we must take care of. Let's go," Kakashi says to him, grabbing Naruto by the hand and dragging him off before he could finish his question to Hinata.
Hinata stood there alone once again. She was so close to hearing what she wanted Naruto to ask of her.
But strangely…she seemed okay with the situation. She smiles and turns to leave the area.
"…Maybe next time…" she says, a feeling of hope in her heart.
The End!
