Chapter; Eight-Ocho-Hachi

Naruto's palms are sweaty. He rubbed his hands on the side of his pants as he waited for Hinata to come out. Hearing footsteps, Naruto looked up ready to greet Hinata, "Hey Hina- Sakura?"

"Hey Naruto" Sakura greeted him with a smile. Naruto, puzzled at seeing her here, asked "why are you here?"

Neji appeared behind Sakura and answered him. "She came to help Hinata with-"

"-her outfit, of course." Sakura interrupted. "It's a girl thing."

Naruto just shrugged his shoulders, his carefree smile appearing on his face, "I guess. Is Hinata ready?"

"Almost." Sakura smiled. She saw Neji giving her a look, 'Why did you interrupt me?' it said. Sakura glared back. 'I don't want to tell him, and I'm sure Hinata doesn't either.' Neji understood.

Deciding to change the subject, Neji directed his attention to Naruto. He wasn't too happy about Hinata and Naruto going on this date, his eyes got cold just thinking about it. He had to make sure the knucklehead ninja wouldn't try to take advantage of his cousin. He doubt it, but still, it would be fun to see the boy squirm. "Naruto" he said, "where do you plan on taking Hinata?"

"Hmmm." Naruto placed his hand under his chin in a thinking position, "that is a great question. I don't know."

Sakura raised her first ready to punch him, "Idiot! How can you not know! What kind of date are you?"

"S-Sakura." Naruto stepped back in fear, "Well w-where do you think I should t-take her?"

Lowering her hands on her hips, Sakura thought about it. "Why not try that new yogurt place they opened? I hear its pretty good."

"Do they have ramen?" the blonde asked.

"No, Naruto they do not!"

"Ramen flavored yogurt?"

This time he got hit in the head. "OW! I'm guessing that's a no."

"You guessed right." Sakura crossed her arms and looked at the Hyuuga boy. "Neji, do you know any places?"

Neji shook his head no. "Oh well, I'll figure something out." Naruto said.

"Naruto," Neji started with a serious tone, "What do you plan to do with my cousin?"

Sakura sweat dropped. 'Is Neji seriously asking what I think he's asking?'

"What do you mean Neji?" said Naruto, "I just said I'll figure something out."

Neji looked straight into Naruto's eyes. "What do you have in mind to do with my cousin?"

Naruto still did not understand.

"Do you plan on doing things that aren't wise for you to do?" the Hyuuga asked.

Sakura blushed. "Neji!" she hissed, "Do you really thing he'll-"

Neji cut her off, "I need to know what his intentions are. Both of his teachers are perverts and I wouldn't be surprised if it rubbed off on him. Who knows what Master Jiraya or Kakashi-sensei taught him." he explained glaring at the student of the perverts.

"A-A-ACHOO!"

The old clerk looked up at his favorite customer and offered him a tissue. "Bless you." he smiled at the man. "That was quite a sneeze, maybe someone is talking about you?"

The customers smiled, though you could only see his eye because of his mask. "You think? I hope it's something good."

"I'm sure they are saying what a great ninja you are, Kakashi." the old man said. Kakashi smiled, "You're probably right" he said as he went back to reading his favorite book.

"H-hey now.." Naruto said, "I'm not like them."

"I guess that makes sense." Sakura sighed, feeling sorry for Naruto, but agreeing with Neji.

"Sakura!" Naruto protested.

"Still," she continued, ignoring Naruto. "I don't think Naruto would do that."

Neji raised an eyebrow at her, "Oh no? What about his so called 'Sexy Jutsu'?"

He got her there. Sakura frowned, "Fine. Ask away, protective cousin."

"H-hey I haven't done that Jutsu in a while!" Naruto said, stepping away from Neji's terrifying glare. Neji smirked, sending shivers down the blonde's spine, as he stepped towards Naruto, "Well you better not be thinking about doing anything unwise with her. She is the Hyuuga heir and if you so much as make her cry; I. Will. Hunt. You. Down."

"Y-y-yes N-n-neji." Naruto whispered, fearing for his life.

"H-hello Naruto." Hinata said, arriving in time to save Naruto. Seeing the hyper ninja pale, Hinata got worried. "I-is something wrong?"

A glare from Neji jolted a response from Naruto. "Nope! I'm A-OK!" he gave her a thumbs up. Unfortunately, his knees were shaking.

"Are you sure you want to go? If you don't feel well it's fine." Hianata said, though she hoped he would still want to go on their date.

Naruto straighten himself out, "I'm fine Hinata, honest." he smiled at her and noticed her outfit. "Hey! Is that a new dress?"

Sakura silently cheered, 'Yes! He noticed. Good job, Naruto.'

Neji smiled in approval at Naruto's observation.

Hinata blushed, "Y-yes. It was my mother's favorite."

"It looks great on you. You should wear it more often."

"T-thank Y-you Naruto. I'm glad you like it." Hinata smiled brightly. 'he said I look great, I look great!'

Inner Sakura was cheering, 'CHA! I rule at makeover's!'

"Hello Uzumaki."

Naruto, startled, looked behind Hinata to see an older looking man, who sort of resembled Neji, only older. He had both of Hinata and Neji's eyes and long hair. He had to be a Hyuga, but who? "Uh..Hello."

Hinata looked back at her father and gave him a smile, she turned back to Naruto and introduced him, "Naruto, this is my father, Hyuga Hiashi. Father, this is Uzumaki Naruto."

Naruto looked at Hiashi, he could see a bit of Hinata here and there. "Hello Lord Hyuga." Naruto bowed.

Hiashi nodded at the young boy, "Uzumaki."

"Call me Naruto, sir." the blonde ninja smiled.

"Naruto. I hope you and Hinata have a good time."

"I'm sure we will Lord Hyuga." Naruto held out his arm to Hinata, "Ready Hinata?"

"H-hai." Hinata put her arm around Naruto's. "See ya, Father, Neji." she waved at them. "Sakura, thank you for your help today." she smiled at the medic.

Sakura gave her a wink, "No problem Hinata. Have fun. Naruto treat her well, or else!"

"H-hai Sakura." Naruto promised. He looked at Neji and saw the he was giving him a cold stare. "Bye! Neji."

Naruto and Hinata, mostly Naruto, hurried out of there and soon they weren't visible anymore.

"Well then, I'm off to Lady Tsunade's." Sakura announced, "I just need to get some of my stuff from Hinata's room" and went back inside the Hyuga's house.

"Neji, why was Uzumaki terrified of you?" Hiashi asked his nephew.

Neji blushed, though it could barely be seen, at being caught, "I sort of threatened him."

"About?" Hiashi asked.

"Not to do anything unwise with Hinata."

Hiashi was quiet. Neji could hear his heart pounding in his ears. 'did I say something wrong?' he thought.

Hiashi finally replied, "Good." and gave his nephew a smirk.

Neji sighed in relief.

"S-so Naruto, where do you feel like going?" Hinata asked once they arrived at the hot spot of the village. It was the located near the center of the village and already there was quite a crowd. Mostly teens hanging out at the many shops, restuarants, and clubs. Hinata wondered how many other people were here having dates like herself. Just thinking about it still gives her the butterflies.

"Where ever you want to go Hinata." Naruto said, saving himself from embarrasment since he didn't have a place planned out.

"Well anything is fine with me." Hinata smiled. "What do you usually do on your day off?"

Naruto thought for awhile, "Let's see, I go train, then Ichiraku's, sometimes I go to the Hokage Mountain and rest-"

"I've never been there." Hinata said absentmindedly.

"You serious? Like never?" asked a surprised Naruto

Hinata got embarrased, "N-no. I've never seemed to have a reason."

Naruto gave her a grin, "Eell now you do, Let's go Hinata." He grabbed her hand and led her through all too familiar road to the Mountain.

Hinata couldn't believe her eyes, She should have come here sooner, the sight was amazing. No wonder Naruto was always up here, even if he was only doing pranks.

"It's amazing Naruto. The village looks so beautiful."

Naruto was also looking out at the magnificent view. "Yeah, it sure is Hinata. One day I'll be in charge of this whole village and I swear I'll protect it with all my heart."

Hinata turned her gaze to her companion and smiled, "I know you will Naruto. I have a feeling you will be the best hokage this village will ever have."

Naruto was taken by surprise, no one ever told him that in those words. At first when he would tell one his dream they would laugh at him and say that he would never accomplish his goal, not in a million years. Now though, he noticed people accepted his dream, but they not once did he have someone come out and say that they truly believe in him It was a new feeling, something that warmed his heart inside out.

Naruto blushed and Hinata's eyes widened at his reaction, she had never seen the boy blush, well not around her anyways.

"Thank You Hinata." Naruto said, "You are the first to ever say those words to me."

Hinata quickly turned her gaze to the village. She knew her face was beyond red, she was having trouble catching her breath. 'Oh heaven, he looks incredible.' The intensity his eyes had when he thanked her, they were so deep and so, so blue. Hinata squeezed her eyes, hoping to get control of her body, refusing to faint.

"Uh, Hinata?" Naruto said, grabbing her by the shoulders. The young girl was breathing hard and looked as if she was going to fall any second. "Hinata, you okay? Is something wrong?" Turning her over to face him, he saw her red face and panicked "Hinata? H-hey! Is something wrong?"

Not wanting to worry him any more, Hinata gathered her strenght to open her eyes. When she did her breathing stopped, he was so close, all she saw was blue; beatiful, intense, breath taking blue. She could see the emotions running through his eyes; worry, panic, confusion.

"Hinata?" he whispered her name, and she felt his breath on her lips.

That did it. The last thing Hinata saw before fainting was the panic in Naruto's eyes. She never intended to cause him pain, but damn his handsomeness.

'Oh naruto.'

"Shit."

Naruto had caught Hinata before she could fall and tried to wake her up. Unfortunately, the young Hyuga wouldn't open her eyes. So here was Naruto with Hinata in his arms, bridal style, jumping through the roofs of Konoha to her house.

Neji was going to kill him.

"Okay Naruto, breathe. He can't hurt you as long as you're holding Hinata." He felt bad using Hinata as a shield but he was positive Hinata would understand, besides he'll make it up to her, somehow. First thing first, he had to get the heiress home.

Naruto landed on the street a block from her house. He needed to take his time to make a plan. He ignored the stares and whisperes from the bystanders, he was able to tuned them out easily from years of practice.

"Alright Naruto," he said to himself, "just keep Hinata close and always in between Neji and yourself." He looked down at the sleeping girl in his arms, giving her an apologitic smile. "Forgive me Hinata, but your cousin terrifies me. I swear I will make it up to you, belive it."

Her only response was to snuggle closer to his body, making him blush. He got to the main door and with his foot, he didn't want to take the chance of Hianta falling if he let her go, and knocked on the door.

and waited..

and waited…

Naruto's blush became deeper when he noticed the stares of the strangers. One even had his mouth hung open in shock. What was going through that person's mind, Naruto could only wonder. He tightened his hold on Hinata, noticing she had shivered lightly. She breath a sighed of content.

Naruto stared at the young girl, she had such pale skin, it reminded him of snow. Her hair and lashes condraticted her skin, her dark hair reminded him of the clear night.

"Like snow on a clear night." Naruto murmered.

That's when the door opened reaveling Neji, who just saw Naruto admiring Hinata in his arms sleeping with a his cheeks tinted red. Neji's mind went blank.

'What the…?' Images flashed through Neji's head that would have made Jiraya proud. "Naruto." Neji hissed.

Naruto snapped his head up and made eye contact with his soon to be killer. Tightening his hold on Hinata, Naruto took a step back, "N-neji I can explain. Believe it."

Neji kept his eyes on his pray, "I will kill you, believe it" he mimicked.

"Na..ruto" Hinata murmered, making both of the shinobi look down at her. Seeing his chance, Naruto once again tightened his hold on Hinata and whispered an apology to the girl. He then looked at Neji and started to explain "She just fainted on me I swear! One minute she is smiling at me the next she faints!"

Neji didn't care, he wasn't even listening, all he saw was his cousin in the arms of the man she loved who was looking at her with a certain look. Neji activated his byuakugan and Naruto knew he needed to escape. He then hurridly placed the sleeping Hinata onto Neji's arms preventing him from attacking Naruto. Neji positioned Hinata right so that she wouldn't be uncomfertable and was about to give his blonde friend a lecture when he saw Naruto was gone. He spotteted a flash of yellow on the rooftops.

Naruto screamed as he ran away from the Hyuga mansion. "I'M SORRY NEJI! I SWEAR I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU HINATA!"

Neji stood in front of the main gate with Hinata in his arms, "Damn it, Naruto." He wished he could scream at the knucklehead but he didn't want to wake Hinata. Neji looked down at his cousin and sighed, Hinata was going to be upset when she wakes up. He didn't blame Naruto for leaving, for if he stayed who knows how long he would have lived. Neji wondered if he overreacted, then dismissed the idea. 'Nonsense, I acted just fine.'

With that in his mind, Neji entered the Hyuga mansion heading to Hinata's mind. Walking to her room, Neji laughed to himself, since he himself couldn't inflect pain on the loud-mouth at least he has the satisfaction that a certain pink-haired kunoichi will give him a beating of a life time when she learns what Naruto just did.

Outside the bystanders were having a field day. If Naruto and Neji had bothered to listen to the by-standers, they would have heard the gasps, 'ooh's' and 'ahh's' and seen the sly smirks some were giving them. It's safe to say the village of Konoha had a new scandal.
