Sorry guys, I know it has been forever since I last updated. Its just school has started up again and it has me pretty busy. It stinks cause I don't have nearly as much time or energy to write. But I FINALLY was able to finish this chapter.
ENJOY.
Hinata waited outside of the boys' locker room. Soon her favorite blonde walked out.
"Hey Naruto, I was hoping we could walk to art class together."
A huge grin was plastered on his face. "Sure that sounds great."
The two headed down the hallway. Naruto walked next to Hinata and he was noticing all the looks she was getting.
"So how's your head?"
"Oh it's fine. And thanks for signing up for gym class. I know it's not your favorite."
"You're welcome. But I don't mind at all. Kiba is also in the class, plus you signed up for my art class so it's more then fair."
The two of them walked into Kurenai's beginner art class just as the bell rang.
"Alright, everyone take their seats." Kurenai waited till everyone was settled before continuing. "Now I know that many of you just signed up for this class because you need that last minute art credit to graduate but I hope that you will find some enjoyment in the subject. We will start off with some simple projects and progress to more difficult ones as time goes on. We are lucky to have two of my best students here as our assistances, Hinata and Sai. Now if you need help with anything let Hinata, Sai, or me know and we will be happy to help." Kurenai went and sat once again at her desk.
Hinata stood up and continued, "Our first project will be to create a painting using as many of colors as possible. This will help understand the different tints and shades of the color wheel."
Students started to get up and grab their supplies. Naruto looked over to where Hinata was sitting at a table with Sai. They were both laughing about something. Naruto unknowingly gave Sai an evil glare.
"Hey dobe, what are you looking at?"
Naruto sent his evil glare towards Sasuke. "None of your business teme."
Sasuke just shrugged and started to draw.
Naruto decided to follow suit and grabbed a pencil. He looked down at his blank piece of paper. Tapping his pencil against the table, "Hmm, what should I draw?"
"How about an animal?"
Naruto dropped his pencil in surprised and turned around to see a pair of lavender eyes staring at him. "Oh hey Hinata." Naruto rubbed the back of his headed nervously. "What were you saying about animals?"
"I was saying that you should maybe draw an animal of some sorts. It's always a good place to begin."
"That's a good idea. I think I will draw a fox. They're my favorite."
Hinata let out a small giggle. "I already know that silly."
"Oh yeah." Naruto stifled out a nervous laugh. "So I bet this is really boring huh?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean having to help all of us who don't know a thing about art."
"Actually I really enjoy it. I always like to help people improve their skills. Plus Kurenai allows me to work on my own artwork when no one needs help."
"That's cool. Can I see what you are working on right now?"
A red faced Hinata shook her head vigorously. "O-oh n-no it's not even c-close to being d-done yet."
Naruto couldn't help but laugh. He always loved how Hinata would blush when she was embarrassed and how the stutter would still come out every so often. "Aw come on Hinata, please. And now that I think about it, I have never actually seen any of your pieces."
"Oh well ….that's because all my paintings are in my room and you….well….never asked."
Naruto looked down. He knew that Hinata had always been into art and he even knew about her dream of being an artist. Yet he never asked to look at her stuff, Some best friend he was. "I'm sorry that I never asked but now I am. Can I see your artwork…..please?"
"I guess so…."
Naruto gave her a huge grin. "Great, how about we go over to your place after school."
"That sounds good. Now I have to go help the other students. Meet me at my lockers." Hinata gave him a final smile and walked off to another table.
"Got a hot date tonight?"
Naruto turned his attention to Sasuke. "What?"
"Date. You do know what that is right?"
"Of course I do. But why did you say I had one tonight?"
"You and Hinata."
"Huh? I still don't get it."
Sasuke let out a deep sigh. "You and Hinata….going….on a…..date…..tonight."
It took a moment for Naruto to register what Sasuke was saying and when he did he waved his hands in front of him and had a panicked look. "Oh no, it's not like that. We are just hanging out as friends."
"Heh, if you say so." Sasuke gave him a smirk and went back to drawing.
Naruto was going to defend his and Hinata's relationship some more but saw that Sasuke wasn't listening anymore. So Naruto grabbed his pencil once again and concentrated on his drawing.
After was felt like a few minutes Naruto looked up from his paper. When he looked at the clock he was shocked that is was almost time to leave. He never realized how time flew when a person drew.
"This must be one of the reasons why Hinata likes it so much, it's so peaceful."
Naruto looked over and saw that Hinata was sitting at her table with Sai, working on what he assumed was her latest piece. He noticed how concentrated Hinata looked. She never looked away from the canvas as she dipped her brush in the paint. Then Hinata put her brush down and whispered something to Sai. He then stood up and walked behind Hinata. He leaned down with his head near Hinata's face. He was looking closely at her painting. What really angered Naruto was the fact that Hinata was actually letting him. He had just asked to look at it and Hinata had said no yet she was allowing this guy to look at it. Sai said something to Hinata and she nodded. He then went and sat back in his seat.
"Hey dobe, remember that you are borrowing my pencil, so don't break it."
Naruto looked down at his hand, he didn't realize it, but he had been clenching his fist as Hinata talked to Sai. "Sorry."
"Heh, come on lets get clean up. The bell is about to ring."
Naruto gave one more glance over to Hinata. "Fine."
I'm sorry this chapter is so short. I just really wanted to update and give you all something to read.
