Hello everyone! It's been a while. This theme was tough for me, so it took a while. The lyrics are the Egnlish translations of the Cardcaptor Sakura song "Kininaru Aitsu" which was a love song sung by the voice of Li, and I thought adding some of the lyrics, because it doesn't entirely fit to Naruhina/ DISCLAIMER: Naruto is owned by Kishimoto, lyrics of Kininaru Aitsu 'Syaoran's Song' is from the anime Cardcaptor Sakura- which means I don't own them. Thanks, and enjoy!

"W-what was that?" Hinata gave a small stutter, surprised by what he said.

"A date, Hinata! What do you think? This Sunday, to down town near the shopping malls?" Naruto offered to Hinata. He could see her pale face turn a tinge of pink. H grinned at how shy she could be, even though it was just a little date. "Come on, we've been down town before. You're not busy Sunday, are you?" He inquired; maybe she couldn't accept the offer. Hinata shook her head.

"No, I've already finished my chores this week. I'd love to go." She gave a small smile, making Naruto grinned like the goofy little boy he was a few years ago.

"Great! I'll pick you up- oh wait, Neji might not like that…" Naruto thought about how Neji would threaten him about taking care of Hinata if he met him when he went to pick her up. "Your cousin is too protective…" He mumbled, but Hinata didn't seem to hear it.

"I could meet you at the bus stop near my house- then we can take the bus to the train station." Hinata suggested. Naruto realized the genius idea.

"That's brilliant, Hinata! I wouldn't think of it." He complimented her.

"It's okay." Hinata said in an apologetic tone. Even though she didn't apologize as much before, it was still a natural habit. Naruto was trying to change that.

"No, Hinata- I'm sorry I didn't try thinking of it! And don't say sorry." He held his index finger up close to Hinata's lips so she couldn't try it. Slightly surprised, she looked at his finger.

"O-okay." She didn't know what else to say, and Naruto would do something embarrassing like pinch her cheek like a child if she tried to apologize- even a face that looked like she was saying sorry would trip his sensor. Her face reddened and he smiled, knowing she wouldn't apologize. They turned back forward and continued walking down the street.

"So what time should we meet at the stop, Hinata?" He asked her. Hinata realized they hadn't set a time and thought for a moment.

"Let's see… Nii-san probably won't let me go out too early…" She mumbled and continued pondering, while the blonde boy's face dropped.

'Jeez… And I thought defeating Neji would keep him off us, but he's so strict with Hinata, almost like a father. Although…' The thought strayed into Naruto's mind when he was silently cursing Neji but then Hinata's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

"How about 10 o' clock, Naruto-kun?" Hinata recommended. "That way Nii-san won't be too suspicious and it still would be early." She explained to him.

"Sounds good, 10 it is then. Just make sure Neji doesn't follow you and me. I don't need someone scrutinizing our every move, it even sounds uncomfortable." Naruto scratched his head thinking about it.

"O-okay!" Hinata gave a small smile at Naruto.

"Great, then!" Naruto grinned back at her as they walked in silence for a while. They reached their usual bus stop where they got on one of the many buses at it brought them to the bus stop near the Hyuuga home, where Hinata lived. Both stepped off the bus and it sped away after the doors closed behind them, and they started their way to her home. It only took a few minutes until they reached her door steps, and she unlocked the front door. They both stepped inside and took of their shoes and placed them aside.

"I'm home!" Hinata called out, but it was still soft like she was talking a little louder than normal.

"Hmmmm." She received an approving hum from her sister, Hanabi, who was doing her homework at the small table in the living room.

"Is Nii-san home, Hanabi?" Hinata inquired as they walked into the living room.

"No, not yet." Hanabi replied without turning away from her studies.

"I see then." Hinata mumbled. Naruto followed her upstairs to study together in peace, but Naruto looked at the back of Hinata's head.

'Why did she ask if Neji was home, and why did she sound disappointed when he wasn't?' The thought echoed inside him until they both were sitting down at the table in Hinata's own room and had taken and spread out their books. Before she could start, Naruto looked up at her.

"Hinata… Why did you ask if Neji was here?" He asked her. He was very curious, and Hinata realized what she did to make him ask that.

"Oh! A-ano- I have to tell Neji nii-san sooner or later that we're going down town Sunday, or else he'll get mad." She explained. Naruto's face drooped for a second.

"Of course then…" He mumbled.

"Oh, I'm sorry Naruto-kun!" She apologized. She felt bad for making Naruto upset, but then Naruto stopped her from apologizing anymore. She looked up at his face, and he smiled back at her warmly.

"It's fine, Hinata! I understand completely." He comforted her. She gave him a small smile and they both looked back down and started studying.

The blue sky continues forever and looking straight up.

I breathe in the wind that blows by and run up the hill.

That person is on my mind,

That mysterious person.

I can't sit still here.

Yeah, I feel that something is going to happen at the corner, and I start to run.

A premonition that is on my mind,

A mysterious premonition.

My heart races just like I saw in my dreams,

I can't predict each day.

I watch straight ahead of me.

"Hey Hinata!" Naruto greeted her as he saw her walking towards him. It was a few minute before 10 o' clock AM, but Naruto wanted to be sure he wasn't going to be late like Kakashi-sensei always was and so he took the bus a quarter before their designated time. Hinata of course only lived a few minutes away.

"Good morning, Naruto-kun!" Hinata greeted warmly as she gave her small smile at him. He could see she was happy to be with him- Neji letting her do so without any arguments.

"So, shopping down town?" He asks her as they waited near the sign indicating the bus stop.

"I guess so. Did you want to do something else, Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked him.

"Oh, shopping is fun- but getting food is also great, but that's a given. I really didn't think of what else to do down town." Naruto confessed.

"We could see the fountain down town maybe." Hinata suggested.

"Sure!" Naruto liked the idea. He wanted to discuss more on the topic, but the bus arrived just then. They walked onto the large vehicle and after paying for a ticket, they both sat down at two seats next to a window, as the bus wasn't crowded. After half an hour of continuous stops, they 

heard on the intercom of the next stop being downtown, they stood up and walked to the door. The bus stopped and opened the doors, and they walked off while many others walked on.

Chasing orange clouds,

Hurrying up so much.

I check with a side glance again today

Without knowing it… I fall into that person's pace.

A premonition that is on my mind,

A mysterious premonition.

My heart races… thinking something will happen.

I can't yield myself at any point in time,

Because I have my ideals.

It was truly a good day. Hinata every moment she spent with Naruto as they walked the streets down town, stopping at stores and looking around. She felt truly felt happy, forgetting all problems in her life where they both sat watching the fountain play a fantastic show with water spraying all around, but in a graceful way and not making them wet.

Naruto felt happy seeing Hinata so happy, and he enjoyed looking at all the stores they saw. He had flipped through pages of the weekly magazines that held several of his favorite manga with Hinata looking at the same thing in the book store, looked at movie on DVD at another store, and at some point they were in the electronics store, and were trying the free video games- Naruto, desperately trying to beat the man in fighting with Hinata watching next to him, silently cheering in her mind, but her smile was enough for him.

"You know what? I'm hungry. Hold on- I'll go get some ice cream there. What would you like, Hinata?" Naruto asked her as he pointed over to the ice cream stand.

"Vanilla, please." Hinata nodded as she watched him casually walk over to the stand. She turned back to watch the water show of the fountain.

Naruto waited in line and when it was his turn, he ordered two cones- one with vanilla, the other chocolate. He paid the vendor and took the two cones in his hands and walked to get out of the way of the next person in line. He was about to walk back over to Hinata who was busy looking at the fountain, but then he saw something at the corner of his eye. He looked over to his right where an expensive café was at and saw someone familiar. He looked closer, and his eyes widened in shock.

'What the… What is Neji doing here?! Did he come here to watch Hinata in case she gets hurt? I can't believe it- he said he was just fine, and Hinata said he wasn't going to try following us.' He looked angrily over at him, who didn't notice Naruto's blonde, spiky hair yet. 'I know what I can do to lose him.' He thought of a solution and gave a triumphant smile at his brilliant idea as he hurried back to Hinata. She greeted him and he handed her ice cream and she gave it a lick.

"Hey Hinata- Let's go to the park! We can walk there." He suggested. Hinata didn't think of going to the park that was down town, but she didn't mind going, she wanted to see the beautiful gardens.

"Okay. Why?" She noticed he sounded urgent and trying to hurry away. Naruto was caught off guard a little by her asking, but pulled himself together a second later.

"We can't go in any stores with food- plus it's so pretty to see the gardens." He said as he started leading her away, going the opposite way where Neji was.

"I guess so." Hinata said as she saw his hand around her arm, his warm touch making her more relaxed. They walked to the park, where the entrance to the garden was open.

I won't lose against anyone.

"Dammit… Where could they be?! Hinata-sama did say they were coming down town. I've checked all of the stores they would visit." Neji silently cursed under his breath. He had been looking for the couple for the past hour- but it wasn't his idea of spending Sunday. That morning passed through his mind for the hundredth time.

--

Neji was peacefully reading a book in the living room. Hinata had left an hour ago to see Naruto. She had told him about their date down town yesterday, and he let her go. He felt a little guilty at how Hinata had to basically ask him if she was allowed to go or not- but he knew it he was better than Hiashi, Hinata's actual father. After Neji's own father was murdered, he was sent to live with Hiashi, who owned the Hyuuga business and was his father's older brother by a second.

He never liked Hiashi, in fact, he didn't like Hinata. Even being a year older than her, she was above him. It wasn't until Naruto fighting him did he even like Hinata. The hatred against Hiashi was also against Hinata. But after he was defeated by Naruto, he finally was able to accept Hinata- in fact, he had realized how hard Hiashi himself was on her. He began to watch over her for any trouble, and it seemed to turn to be an overprotective guardian or brother.

He then heard his name be called. "Neji." Hiashi's voice sounded like he didn't have enough sleep, but it still had a tone of prominence.

"What is it, Hiashi-sama?" Neji asked as he put his book down and looked at him in a mannerly way.

"Where is Hinata?" He asked. Neji looked a little shocked at his question, and hesitated answering.

"She had gone down town with Naruto." He answered him. He saw Hiashi's stoic face turn into a scowl. "W-what is it?" He asked.

"She left so early in the day with that Uzumaki boy?! The boy who wants to be in the yakuza?!" His voice had raised to almost shouting. Neji never saw him this angry over such a thing.

"I will not allow this! You will go chase her down and bring her back immediately." He ordered him. Neji stood up to protest, but he stopped, knowing better.

"H-hai…" It was the only thing he could say to the man. Hiashi walked away, and Neji scrambled up stairs to put on fresh clothes.

--

"Hinata probably won't like this… and Naruto won't forgive me…" Neji mumbled. He looked around and noticed the blond spikes far off. He looked closer and could see Hinata's long indigo hair. "There they are!" He whispered to himself. They were heading off the opposite direction of where he was, and tried to think of where they were going.

'They're probably going to the gardens at the park…' He followed them there, although keeping a steady distance away from the two. He knew Hiashi told him to bring her back as soon as possible, but he didn't want to cause a scene, as that's what Naruto would probably do.

Just as he thought, they entered the gate to the gardens. He really didn't want to interrupt them, but he had no choice.

Naruto and Hinata walked along the paths looking at the plants and flowers that were blooming at the time. Soon enough they found a bench in one of the parts of the gardens that was empty. They both sat down on the wooden bench, and remained in silence for a minute or two, until Hinata broke it.

"Thank-you for taking me here, Naruto-kun." Hinata thanked him. She suddenly felt his warm lips on hers for a few seconds and he sat back up straight, leaving her speechless.

"It's a date, Hinata! Don't sweat it!" He grinned at her pink face. She looked up at his smiling face and gave a small smile.

"O-okay." She said. Both smiled at each other for as minute until they could hear noise. It first started off as small patters like something small running, but then it grew louder and sounded like more than just one small animal. Then both Hinata and Naruto felt cold drops hitting their heads.

"It's starting to rain!" Naruto exclaimed as he stood up alarmed.

"Ah! But the weather man said it was a low chance!" Hinata cried as she followed Naruto's action. "I didn't think of bringing an umbrella." She murmured, upset.

"It's okay, Hinata! Come on, let's hurry to one of the stores, we can wait in there until the rain stops." Naruto told her, and he took her hand and they hurried towards the exit out of the gardens. Hinata began to shiver as the cold drops touched her skin- she didn't even bring a jacket with her. Naruto tried it hurry and find the exit as both of them were getting wet and would soon get soaked.

"Damn… There aren't any stores nearby or restaurants…" He mumbled to himself. He looked back to see Hinata shivering. He wasn't as cold as she was with his jacket. 'If we can't get to a building… at least some shelter from the rain.' Naruto looked around and then noticed one of the large trees with a bench under it. "Look, we can stay under that tree!" He pointed as they both started hurrying to the dry ground. Hinata only nodded, as the rain was getting in her eyes. The rain finally stopped pelting Hinata as she opened her eyes to see Naruto facing her.

"Naruto-kun, what…" She started to ask, but then she felt a sensation of warmth cover her warms and torso. She looked down to see Naruto's jacket covering her. They sat down on the dry bench very close together as they looked out at the path, watching other people get wet and hurrying away, others with jackets or umbrellas, casually taking a stroll. Other had cars or taxis to ride in.

"It was still fun, wasn't it, Hinata?" Naruto gave a weak smile at Hinata. Hinata gave a small nod and smiled back at him. "Yeah…"

They remained there for a couple of minutes until Naruto saw a figure walking towards him. Hinata's eyes widened when she saw Neji slowly walk over to where they sat under the tree. He wasn't getting wet with the umbrella he held.

"N-Nii-san? What are you doing here?" Hinata asked in disbelief. Naruto glared at him. He avoided Naruto's face as he looked at Hinata.

"Hiashi-sama had ordered me to come get you. I'm sorry this had to happen, Hinata…" Neji told her. Naruto grinded his teeth.

"If that's true, why does she have to go back?" He called at Neji; Hinata looked at Naruto and saw he was upset.

"He wouldn't tell me anything- but you don't want Hinata-sama get in worse trouble if you won't let her get back home." Naruto silently cursed- Neji was right. He stood up and Hinata followed. 

Neji took out a second umbrella that had in his jacket and handed it to Hinata. She opened it up and placed it above and, and looked to Naruto. He saw her look at him, and he gave a smile, and placed his hand on the umbrella and they walked out from under the branches. Neji had already started walking away, keeping a distance between them and him. Hinata seemed not to mind the whole situation, but Naruto felt terrible. It was his entire fault if Hinata would get in trouble.

"I'm sorry, Hinata…" He mumbled. Hinata looked up at him confused.

"You didn't do anything, Naruto-kun…" She told him, but he shook his head.

"If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be in trouble right now. It wouldn't have ruined your day." He looked down at the puddles on the side walk.

"No it's not, Naruto-kun." She stated. Naruto looked at her surprised. "It's okay. I had a great time with you today." She assured him with a smile. He grinned back at her.

"I'm glad!"
