How Do You Propose?

Chapter Two.

"You want me to do what?"

Why do people always make me repeat myself? "I need you to go to Hinata's room and take a ring from her drawer!"

She gave me this look, like I was crazy or something. "So let me get this straight… you want me to go to Neji's house, go into Hinata's room and steal a ring?"

"Yup!" I smiled. Sounded like a good plan to me.

"No."

"What?! Why?!"

"Why would I do something like that?" Ugh! This girl is so difficult. No wonder no body remembers her name. Except Neji, but that's because their like closest lovers or something like that.

"Because!" I plea. "I really need that ring!"

"Why don't you get it yourself?"

"Because I'm not allowed in Hinata's house!" I tell her. "Neji won't let me inside!"

She cocked her eyebrow at me. "So you want me to do your dirty work."

I nod. "Please! I'll do anything!" I really am this desperate. I wanna give Hina the best proposal in the world and I need all the help I can get!

"Fine!" Yay! "On two conditions." No!

I sigh. "Fine." I agree. I just have to keep thinking, this is for Hinata. This is for Hinata! This is for my Hina-chan!

"Number one." She says, sticking her finger in my face. Hey, she's a girl right? Shouldn't her nails be painted or something? Or they should at least look like they've been tended to. Geez, what is she a dude? They look disgusting!

"Naruto!"

"What?!"

"Did you hear what I just said?" No, I was looking at your nasty nails.

"Sorry, I was daydreaming." I apologize. If she hangs out with Neji, then this girl must be tough as nails. Better not do anything to piss her off. I have a feeling she's worst than Sakura-chan.

"Idiot…" I don't like her already. Not that I did before, I just like her even less now. "I said, you have to give me 2000 yen."

"2000 yen?! Are you insane?!"

She frowned and glared at me. "No I'm broke." She says. She rolled her eyes at me. God, why does every woman in Konoha have such a nasty attitude. Does no one but Hinata know the joy of happiness? No wonder why I love her. She's so perfect and cute, and her eyes are so beautiful, like her-

"Naruto?!"

"What?!" She sighed at me, and shook her head in that like 'I'm disappointed in you' way, which made no sense in this kind of situation. Right? I think…?

"Secondly…" Here it comes! "What's the ring for?"

Wait… that's it? "Huh?"

"What's the ring for?" She repeated. Her tone and face looked and sounded bored. I blinked. Was that all? Well I could answer that.

"Well, uh," I was still kind of off guard by her question. I scratched the back of my head nervously. It was still kinda weird to explain this thing. "I'm… I wanna propose to Hinata."

"Oh my god! Really?!" Did her face just light up? Is she the same person? What's going on?! "That is so cute! Why didn't you say that sooner?"

Is this how all girls act when it comes to these types of things?

"Well… I kinda wanted to keep it a secret from everyone." I tell her.

She smiles. Woah, that's the first time I've seen her smile. At someone besides Neji or Lee I mean. "That is so sweet. Neji's wrong about you. You aren't some loser idiot who's not worthy of dating Hinata." She said cheerfully.

Neji said that? What?! I'm worthy of dating Hinata! "Heh… thanks…" I try to take it as a compliment.

"So!" Is she still talking? My god girls can talk a lot. It's all blah, blah, blah, blah. "You know how you're gonna do it yet?"

"Do what?"

"Propose!" She shouts. "Geez, are you really this stupid?"

This girl is really getting on my nerves. No wonder her and Neji get along so well. "No idea." I tell her, gritting my teeth. I ease up afterwards. "I was gonna ask Sakura-chan for help-"

"No!"

"Wait? Wh-Why?" I'm kinda scared now. She keeps screaming at me. I think she's gonna blow soon.

"Because Hinata is nothing like Sakura. Sakura's gonna make this a proposal that she'd want, not Hinata. Besides Sakura knows nothing about Hinata." She explained. I thought about it for a second. I never did see them hang out. But Sakura-chan's my friend she would never… oh… wait… yeah she might actually.

"What am I gonna do now?!" Everything is changing on me.

"Good thing you got me here. I know lots about Hinata."

"You do?" Do they even hang out?

"Of course!" She smiled triumphantly. "I've been going over to Neji's house since we were 8. So I've known Hinata since she was like, 7! I know more about her than Neji does."

Does Neji even know anything about her? They barely talk. But… in some strange, twisted way… I guess it could make sense.

"Tell you what," She continued. "I'll get the ring today, and meet you back here tomorrow and we'll come up with an awesome proposal strategy! Okay?"

"Okay…" I kind of feel uneasy about this. But it'll have to do.
