Innocence Lost

Ch. 2 – Ramen

Recap-

"Well… Ino is having a sleepover at my house tonight, so I'm increasing my homeowner's insurance." Naruto responds. "Ooohh! Young, pretty, nightgown-wearing girls in your house overnight! You are so lucky! Can I come!" pleads Jiraiya. "No, you perverted hermit." responds Naruto. "Damn you to hell!!! I might never get another chance like this! And to think I wasted three years of my life training you!" pouts Jiraiya.

"Fine, but use your Invisibility Jutsu." Naruto gives in. 'If I had known he was always going to pull that 'training' card on me, I would have trained myself.' Naruto thinks. "YEEESSS!!!" yells Jiraiya, "Naruto, you are not going to regret this!" 'I already do.' thought Naruto. Jiraiya leaves, so Naruto turns to the person at the counter to ask to increase his homeowner's insurance. As soon as he starts to fill out the paperwork, Tsunade barges in, yelling, "Where is that damn pervert!!!?" Naruto points in the direction Jiraiya went. Tsunade runs off.

Naruto finishes filling out the paperwork, he realizes what time it is. '1:24! I gotta get some ramen!' he thinks. Naruto runs toward the ramen stand.

And on with the story…

As Naruto was running toward the ramen stand, he saw Jiraiya. "Hey, Jiraiya, you might want to hide." Naruto says. "Huh? Why?" Jiraiya asks. "Because Tsunade is after you. She barged into the insurance office looking for you a few minutes after you left." Naruto answers. "Ah, damn it! And I was just starting to find some pretty girls…" Jiraiya pouts before poofing away to who-knows-where.

A/N – Jiraiya's name is really annoying to type! That was really random! I like exclamation marks!!!!!!! Back to the story!

'That was weird. I wonder where he went…' Naruto wonders. He starts running toward the ramen stand again. When he got there, he sat down to order the usual. "Hey, old man! One bowl of miso ramen please!" Naruto ordered. "Coming right up!" Teuchi replied. During the 'three minutes from hell,' Naruto's name for the three minute wait before ramen is cooked, he notices a familiar face walking past the stand. "Hey, Hinata! Want some ramen?" Naruto asks. Hinata freezes in place, thinking, 'I should have known Naruto-kun would be here,' before slowly walking in, taking the stool next to Naruto.

After Hinata sits down, Naruto's ramen arrives. "Alright! My favorite," Naruto says as he picks up his chopsticks, "Itadakimasu!" Naruto starts to chow down. "And what would you like, young lady?" Teuchi asks. "U-um, I'll have some ch-chicken ramen," Hinata replies. "Okay then," Teuchi says. Hinata returns to her favorite pastime, watching Naruto eat, which she has secretly done for years.

A/N – OMG!!! Stalker! Back to the story…

By the time Hinata's ramen arrives, which she doesn't even notice because she's too busy staring at Naruto, Naruto has already finished his first bowl. "Itadakimasu," Hinata says. "Hey old man! One more bowl!" Naruto yells. "Coming up, and would it kill you to call me by my name for once? Te-u-chi. It's easy to remember…" Teuchi says, slightly annoyed. "Okay, Teechi!" Naruto says. 'Argh, close enough…' Teuchi thinks. Hinata giggles. While Naruto is sitting through the third 'three minutes from hell' that day, he decides to try to start up a conversation with Hinata.

"Hey Hinata, do you have a boyfriend yet?" Naruto asks innocently. "Ack!" Hinata chokes on her ramen. "Oh my God! Hinata!" Naruto screams. Naruto starts to panic before he remembers the Heimlich maneuver. Naruto starts to position himself behind Hinata. He reaches around to do the Heimlich maneuver, but accidentally grabs her breast instead of placing his fist on her stomach. At this, Hinata coughs up the ramen and faints. "Aaahhh! She's dead!" Naruto screams. "No she's not. She fainted," Teuchi states matter-of-factly. "Oh. Can I get my ramen to go? I have to decorate my apartment for a party," Naruto asks. "Okay," Teuchi responds.

Naruto takes the Styrofoam cup full of ramen and starts to walk home. On the way, he sees Ino. "Hey Naruto! Have you seen Hinata? I need to invite her to the sleepover." Ino asks. "Yeah. She fainted at Ichiraku ramen," Naruto answers. "What! What did you do?" Ino angrily asks. "I just asked her if she had a boyfriend. Then she started choking, then coughed up her ramen and fainted," Naruto answers. 'No wonder she fainted! I guess Naruto still doesn't know she loves him,' Ino thinks. "Okay then. If you're not going to ask any more questions, I guess I'll go get ready for the sleepover," Naruto says. "Okay! See you tonight!" Ino yells back as he starts to walk toward his house, eating his cup of ramen.

By the time Naruto gets home, he has at least three ramen stains on his jacket and has finished the ramen, so is now hungrily licking the stains, trying to get all the flavor out of it. When he notices it just tastes like wet jacket, he remembers what he is supposed to be doing. 'I guess I should clean up a little,' Naruto thinks while looking at the empty instant ramen cups all over the floor. 'Ooh! That can wait! I have to pee!!!' Naruto thinks while running toward the bathroom. When he opens the door, he jumps in front of the toilet to take a piss, but then hears something from in the shower. He slides back the curtain and sees the last person he wants in his bathroom, let alone his apartment!

A/N – Cliffy! Who do you think it is? Reviews reviews reviews! Also someone needs to favorite! Until next time…
