Chapter 14

Party

Our lips can touch

And our cheeks can brush

'Cause our lips can touch here

Hinata tapped her foot against the floor as she listen to the song playing and watched the other people dancing. The party has been going on for what Hinata thought was five hours (which in reality was just an hour) and Naruto hasn't shown up.

Everyone who came to the party (which was probably everyone from their senior class excluding the ones out of Konoha for the moment) was there and at first glance didn't know it was Hinata.

During the whole party people kept asking her if she was asked if she was a friend of Kiku, girlfriend of someone who was invited, sister of Hinata, or something near that. Guys also asked her if she was "a angel sent down from heaven". But as she told them all she was Hinata, they would all have the same reaction "HINATA!? THAT'S YOU! YOU LOOK SO DIFFERENT!"

If she had a nickel every time she heard that reaction, she would be (and as Kiba to quote) "Ballin!" But she didn't so she just had to bear with everyone with the same reaction.

Did she really change so much? The words "No duh!" came into mind. Was it for the better? Again that "No duh!" came to her head. The big question was: did it work?

As the song ended, Hinata tried to make herself look busy by eating some chips. Of course Hinata was standing near the food table while watching everyone dancing. If anyone stared at her she would look like she's eating. That's what she did all the times in past parties.

If she had the plan to stay in the food table and she was actually doing it then the question of did it actually worked was a definite no.

'Have you been forgetting what you did the past weeks? You learn to be more confident and not so shy as before! And look now! You're looking as if nothing happen!' a voice said in Hinata's head.

'But Naruto's not even here and that's who I'm trying to be confident towards,' an other voice in Hinata's voice replied.

'Who cares?! Just dance, talk, SOCIALIZE! It's like training for Naruto!' the other voice fought back.

"Hey Hinata," A boy's voice said from behind Hinata.

This would be the time where Hinata would turn around, Naruto would be there, they would dance the night away, and in the end they kiss and say he would say he loved her and she would (of course) say I love you back. Or at least in her mind that's what happens.

But Hinata knew better. She knew that voice and it wasn't Naruto's. It's a good thing it was a friend though.

"Hey Shino," Hinata said, smiling and turning around to see Shino.

"You're not dancing," Shino pointed out, grabbing some food.

"You're not either," Hinata replied. So it's a stupid reply but it was the truth: he wasn't dancing.

"I'm not the one who's trying to win Naruto's affection," Shino replied. Now that was a good reply.

"Well Naruto's not here," Hinata pointed out.

"So when he is here, you'll dance with him?" Shino asked.

"Yes, I will," Hinata said, sounding as confident as ever.

"Good," Shino said. He then pointed to the front door. "Because he just arrived."

"…I'll give him time to rest before I ask him," Hinata said, turning a shade of red and walking towards the hall slowly so Naruto won't notice she was ever there.

"Hey Shino! Hey person I don't know!" Naruto exclaimed, walking over to the food table.

'Dang it, too late!' Hinata said in her mind. 'But he didn't know it's me so maybe I could go away…'

"Hello Naruto," Shino greeted with a nod, as he quietly grabbed Hinata's wrist since she was walking away.

"Hi Naruto," Hinata said, smiling not even a dot of red on her face.

"Who are you?" Naruto asked. "Why do you know me?"

"It's Hinata," Shino said indifferently.

"WOAH!" Naruto yelled amazed. Even with the music you could still hear him. "Hinata's that's you!?"

"Yes," Hinata said, still smiling as she stared at the floor.

'Don't blush, don't stutter, don't look at the floor… wait I'm already doing that! Oh no he's going to think I'm weird!'

"You look great Hinata!" Naruto said, smiling. "Dattebyo!"

"Thank you," Hinata said, looking up at him shyly.

"I'm going to go," Shino said, walking towards the hallway.

'He could do that but I can't?' Hinata questioned.

-----------------------------

The party had to end at midnight. Kiku's parents told Kiku that if she had a party there had to be no alcohol, no drugs, no breaking anything, regular stuff that parents would usually say, and that the party had to end at midnight.

It was 11:45. Hinata was having the best night of her life. She talked to Naruto the WHOLE time… well not the whole time. They both had to go to the bathrooms and they can't go together… but other then that they spent the whole time together and talked.

Naruto mostly talked while Hinata just listen actually. He talked about Ramen, how it was cool that Hinata worked in the Ichiraku, how to make the perfect Ramen, and lots of various stuff that were Ramen related. But Hinata got to talk to but only to reply and not to start a new topic. But at least that was at least a step up from Naruto not really talking to her.

And the best part: Hinata didn't blush as much as she would have! She would only blush if Naruto complimented her (like after the long conversation of making the perfect Ramen he added "But you make perfect Ramen too, Hinata-chan") and some other stuff but again: a step up from blushing to every look Naruto gave her.

It was the perfect night.

But the perfect night was coming to an end. Hinata wanted to dance with Naruto and in the end they'll kiss but that only happens in her mind.

"Wow! It's already 11:46! Where did the time go?" Naruto asked, looking at his watch.

"I don't know but it went away to fast," Hinata replied quietly so Naruto wouldn't hear her as she heard a fast song end.

Usually when a song ended another song will come on but this time it was quiet for a while until Kiku (who after all was hosting the party so she could do whatever she wanted) picked up a microphone and started to speak.

"Now here's a slow song," Kiku said into a microphone. "It's really for a couple. Well a boy and girl…—"

"For a girl who has the hots for a guy but the guy's to stupid to notice. Let's leave it at that," Kiba said, stealing the microphone from Kiku.

"I hope you enjoy the song," Kiku said, taking the microphone back.

'Last time to dance with him… Last time to kiss him. You can do this Hinata,' Hinata told herself.

"Naruto-kun, do you want to dance?" Hinata asked, as she was playing with her fingers.

"Sure! Dattebyo!" Naruto said, grabbing Hinata's hand and heading towards the dance floor.

"Kiku! This song is stupid! Play some other song for them!" Kiba yelled… or really complained to Kiku, who gave him the CD to play.

"But I like the song," Kiku replied calmly as she smiled. "And it's a good song for them. They might fall in love."

"Fine then," Kiba caved in stubbornly as he put the CD in the stero system.

As the song started to play, Hinata softly giggled. Of course Kiku would want to play it, Kiku loved the song. It was "Dreaming of You" by Selena.

Hinata put her arms loosely around Naruto's neck, her arms shaking as Naruto put his hands on her waist as Hinata started to sing along softly with the song.

Cuz I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you even see me
And I wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside?
Would you even care?

"Yes, I do," Hinata sang, just a little to louder then she normally would sing.

"Are you singing Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked Hinata, looking down at her.

"Oh. Um—"

"--You sing pretty," Naruto said, pushing her softly closer to him.

'Now or never,' Hinata told herself.

Late at night when all the world is sleeping

"Nar—"

"—Hinata-chan, I need to tell you something," Naruto said, interrupting Hinata.

I'd stay up and think of you

"Yes, Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked.

Before Hinata could think of anything else, Naruto kissed her.

And I still can't believe that you came up to me

"Hinata-chan, please be my girlfriend," Naruto said, after the kiss ended.

And said, "I love you; I love you too"

"…Yes. I will," Hinata said, smiling.

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow, and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming with you endlessly...

"See looked what happened!" Kiku exclaimed as she pushed Kiba towards Naruto and Hinata's (who were kissing) direction. "They're now boyfriend and girlfriend! Told you it'll happen!"

"Yeah, whatever," Kiba murmured as he put his arm around Kiku. "As long as he doesn't hurt her or else I'll kill him."

A/N: And that's the end! I thought this chapter didn't really have a plot though, I'm sort of sad about that but I like it!

Next chapter: SasuSaku! Basically it's about the show Sasuke's singing in before he goes off to London. And he sings his new song that he was trying to write! How will Sakura react? You have to wait till the next chapter!

And it's almost been a year since I had this fic! It said I started it on July 10, 2006! I'm so happy! And happy this fic has almost 100 reviews! Thank you all so much! Please review but no flames!

Edit: ...In like the same day I posted it. Anyway, I posted a picture of Naruto and Hinata based off this chapter on DeviantART. Go look at my profile and it'll say "Picture of Naruto and Hinata" or something like that. But be warn: I'm not that good at drawing!
