(A/N: I know exactly how many chapters and what's going to happen. I had a lot of trouble trying to decide how to end it. I'm really bad at that. I can't end a story. I'm not sure why. But I do have an ending planned. So I'm hoping for the best, and I hope I make you guys happy enough to read my next story! (Yes already in the works)!!With love!)
Sasuke sat with Naruto that day in first period. Sakura sat directly behind Sasuke and Tenten next to her. Neji was in the next row to Narutos left, leaving and empty seat between him and Naruto. When Hinata walked in everything got quite. She looked at her friends with a puzzled look. But Tenten and Sakura just smiled and asked her how her morning went.
"A-actually kind of weird. I was late to-today." Sakura and Tenten acted surprised asking what happened and if everything was okay.
"Yeah because you're never late." Tenten through in. Hinata nodded and looked for and empty seat. When her eyes fell on the only one. Next to Naruto. Hinata froze. Neji was about to call it off and make Tenten switch when Sasuke punched Naruto in the arm. Hard.
"Here Hinata-Chan you can sit next to me if you like." Sasuke and Tenten high fived under the desk and Sasuke smirked.
"It's kinda cute to see Naruto act quite and shy around a girl." Sakura whispered to Tenten who nodded in agreement.
"T-thank-you N-Naruto-Kun. Um…" Naruto looked down at his hands and went to speak but felt the air shift next to him; he turned to his left and saw Hinata smoothing out her skirt as she fidgeted in the seat next to him. Suddenly Naruto beamed.
"Hey Hinata-Chan! Wanna be my partner for the math test?" He asked back to his happy, hyper, silly self. Hinata smiled. A real big sparkling smile.
"Of course Naruto-Kun. I would love to!" Everyone in the group, but Naruto and Hinata, eyes bulged out of their head. Hinata just spoke without stuttering! Not only that. She was speaking to Naruto!
"Whoa! That would be great. For once I'm going to get an A+!" He shouted excited. "Maybe you can come over sometime and tutor me. I'm really bad in math." Neji turned and looked past Naruto at Sasuke. Glaring with such for Sasuke had a hard time looking back without laughing, because he didn't know what else to do. He can't glare with a reason; it's the ice cube boys rule of glaring. Duh.
"Sure Naruto-Kun. I would love to."
"Sweet! Maybe you can tutor me in a lot of other things to." Naruto added with a glint in his eyes. Hinata took in a deep breath and Neji looked ready to kill. Sakura and Sasuke stared at Naruto, mouth a gape. But Tenten stared at Neji, who was also staring at Naruto.
"Um…Sakura. I think we should get Naruto to shut up before Neji kills him." Sakura looked at Neji but then she heard Sasukes phones vibrate. She looked over his shoulder as he read the text.
"He touches her, gets her pregnant, or breaks her heart. I will 1st kill him. Then I will make sure there is only 1 heir 2 the Uchiha fortune and it wnt b u!"
Sasuke looked past the flirting Naruto and giggling Hinata and looked at Neji. As soon as he looked him in the eye, he believed him.
He nodded his understanding and Neji just glared up at the board. Everyone was chatting and laughing when their math teacher came in late.
"Don't do it!" He shouted at Naruto as he was about to stand. "I know. Late! Sheesh. Okay. Let's partner up for the test. You and your partner have to have the same answer on every problem. And you are responsible for finishing tonight's homework together." Kakashi called on people to list who their partner would be.
"Tenten?"
"Neji is mine bitchs!" Sakura laughed out loud and Neji just rolled his eyes.
"Right. Hinata?"
"N-Naruto-Kun please." Kakashi looked up at her for a moment. Sakura wasn't sure what the look on his face meant but he shock his head and said okay.
"Sasuke." There was a dead silence as the fan girls waited to see who he'd pick.
"Sakura."
"Alright."
"Not fair!" A girl in the back jumped up. It was Rin. Sakura groaned and slammed her forehead into the desk.
"Why the objection Rin?" Kakashi asked, knowing not matter what she said, he didn't care and would let them partner up.
"It's not fair for the two smartest kids in the class to partner together." Kakashi leaned back in his chair and sighed, "She makes a good point." Rin jumped in joy but was soon shot down again. "But I already wrote them as partners. So I can't change it."
"Why not! Just erase it!" She shouted making the windows in the room shake vigor sly.
"I wrote it in pen, and what the pen decides is law. Sorry." She stomped around a bit but got over it and sat down. "Now, please sit next to your partner and start your test.
As the test went on the room was silent. Though the occasional sigh from Sakura and the frustrated outburst from Tenten. "Tenten, shut up!" Tenten just glared back at Kakashi and returned to listening to Neji tell her what to write. And everyone once in a while Hinata would giggle at something Naruto said.
As Sasuke and Sakura finished their test they wrote down the homework and started to talk.
"It was nice of you to help Naruto. I think he's gonna ask her out tomorrow." Sakura said as Sasuke began his half of the homework.
"Yeah, I felt bad because he was so down about it." Sakura nodded and decided to start her half.
"You know how the four day weekend is coming up."
"Hn."
"I think we should go on a road trip." Sasuke looked up at her as did Tenten, Hinata, Naruto, and Neji.
"Really?" Tenten asked, looking at Neji who said it sounded like fun and to count him and Hinata in. "Y-yeah, it sounds awesome!" She said.
"What about you guys?" Sakura asked Naruto and Tenten.
"Helly Yeah!" The shouted at the same time. Sakura reminded them they where in class and they apologized to Kakashi.
"He he sorry!" Naruto added.
"So what about it Sasuke? Are you in?" Everyone watched him as he sat back from his book. He sighed and looked at Sakura.
"I'll go."
"Yes!" Sakura and Tenten cheered. Naruto did some sort of complicated hand sign thing with Neji and Hinata hugged Naruto who hugged her back, a little longer then Neji would have liked.
"Okay! We leave next Friday. So tell your folks!" Everyone nodded and chatted excitedly for the rest of the period.
That night Hinata showed up and Narutos exactly on time.
"Hey, come on in." Hinata smiled and entered the small foyer. She looked around his small apartment and noticed it was nicely furnished and really clean.
"Your apartment is really nice." She said without stuttering a single word.
"Thanks! It's all thanks to Sasuke-Temes mother. She always liked me and when I moved out of the orphanage she went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable and had a nice house. Uchiha-Sama followed his wife's foot steps and gives me a monthly allowance. As long as I have a job and keep above a C+ in all my classes." Naruto lead her to the living room and gave her a seat on the couch. "Do you want some tea or coke or something?"
"A coke would be fine." Naruto smiled at her and ran to the kitchen. Hinata un packed her math book and some paper.
Naruto ran in with a glass of ice and a can of coke he set it on the table before her and smiled.
"Let's get started Naruto-Kun."
"You got it.
An hour later their homework was done and Naruto was panicking. He didn't want her to leave yet. What to do?
"Um…"
"Naruto-Kun? What is it?" Hinata asked as she put her math book back in her bag.
"I need help in history to!" Hinata laughed and touched his hand.
"Naruto you have an A average in every class but math. I don' think you need my help." Naruto sighed. She was right. He was an A student. But he still didn't want her to leave. "Is there something else I could help you with?" Naruto jumped up and grabbed a DVD off his TV. "Yes! I haven't seen this movie yet and I don't want to watch it alone!"
Hinata giggled and said okay, she'd stay to watch the movie. As it ended and Naruto walked her to the door Hinata smiled at him and his heart skipped a beat.
"I had fun Naruto-Kun." Naruto smiled and told her he had fun too. As she was turning towards the door Naruto lost all sanity (well of what he had) and grabbed her hand, pulling her back into him.
"N-Naruto-Kun! What i-is it?" Hinata asked afraid.
"Hinata I," Hinatas head was pressed against his chest, she could hear each slow breath he pulled in and out of his lungs as if they where her own, " I really," He paused again, Hinata shifted in her position to look at her blonde sweetheart. He looked just as scared as she had felt. Suddenly all her fear melted away and she slipped out of his loosened grip.
"Naruto." Naruto looked up at her with wide blue eyes. The sound of her soft voice calming his heart beat. He looked into her pearl eyes and she laughed, her voice ringing out in the empty apartment. Soon she was leaning towards his face and he knew what she was doing. He closed his eyes and leaned towards her as well. With their faces only seconds' apart nothing could stop them.
"Knock knock." Hinata turned to the door but Naruto caught her face in his hands gently and pressed his lips to hers. Hinatas eyes widened in surprise but she quickly closed them trying to keep from screaming. All those years of dreaming, and thinking he was out of her reach. Finally he was hers, and she was his, as she had always been.
"Knock knock knock!" The knocks where coming with much more force now. Naruto pulled away from Hinata and smiled. He brushed a piece of hair from her forehead and kissed it. Then shouted at the knocker to stop it he was coming.
"You better mean in the literal sense or I swear to god!" Hinata laughed at her cousins antics and opened the door to him. Neji pulled her aside and walked into the apartment. He sniffed the air and scanned ever corner and cranny. When he was satisfied (not really) he turned to Naruto.
"Did you touch her at all?" Naruto glared back and was about to respond, but Hinata pushed Neji out the door and waved good-bye. "I'll see you tomorrow at school Naruto-Kun. Good night!" And she slammed the door before Neji could stick his head in the yell.
"Lets g-go Neji-Nii-San!" Naruto laughed as he heard her drag Neji down the hall. He jumped onto the couch and smiled to himself. Feeling great he flipped on the TV and sat back watching some silly sitcom.
The next day in math. Hinata. Tenten and Sakura all pushed their desks into a group and talked about Hinatas night.
"Hinata that's great! I am so happy for you!" Sakura leaned over her desk and hugged Hinatas small frame. Hinata smiled and thanked her. Tenten then hugged her too and added her thoughts, "Finally the bone head maned up!" Neji glared over at her and told her that he better still be a boy in the sexual term. The girls just laughed. Sasuke and Naruto walked in side by side. But as soon as Naruto saw Hinata he ran to her side and asked if he could sit next to her. Tenten and Sakura gave a mock glare and teased him a little.
"What do you think Sakura? Should we allow him the pure bliss of sitting next to our amazing Hinata?" Sakura put her finger to her chin in thinking position.
"Amazing is right." The girls giggled when Naruto said this. They got up and patted his back.
"For realizing that you deserve to sit next to her." Neji just scoffed.
"About our little trip." Everyone in the group stopped what they were doing and looked at Sasuke who had the news. "Sakura will be responsible for assigning what each of you should bring."
"Why aren't you part of this?" Tenten asked wondering why he thought he didn't have to help.
"Because I'm funding it. Everything is being paid for by me. Even the hotel I know we'll end up staying at for one reason or another." Tenten nodded her head in understanding and mentioned to Neji how right he was.
"We will not! And I'll prove it to you!" Sakura was determined not to stay in a hotel this year.
"Wait, did anyone tell Ino and Shikamaru yet?" Neji asked looking at everyone at once.
"Shika has been home sick and Ino's still in the hospital. I'll call him after school and see if he's well enough to join us. And Ino said that her parents said no." Sakura informed them all.
"I can't believe Shikas been sick. He doesn't get sick."
"He was half asleep and ate a bad piece of meet. He got food poisoning." Sasuke informed everyone. And everyone stopped questioning Shikamarus strange illness. Because a hug EWWW factor was involved.
As the late bell rang everyone sat in the respected seats. Sasuke sat on Sakuras left in the second the back row in the far left corner of the room. Behind them were two empty seats for Shika and Ino. To Sakuras right was Naruto and Hinata and behind them, next to Ino and Shika, were Tenten and Neji. Everyone sitting next to their sweetheart. Sakura and Sasuke pulled out their work and got ready for the stamp. Everyone else did the same and started on the next assignment. But Sakura started on her list of what to bring and what they needed to buy.
(A/N: Hahaha another one done! I'm soooo happy! I feel a little bad that Shikamaru and Ino didn't have a big part in this story, but there are so many characters to take care of that some sometimes get left out. So the next chapter will be up soon, I hope. Haha)
