Chapter Four: The Best Thing

Hinata always loved the smell of chocolate when it's being baked. It reminded her of the times her mother and her would bake sweets to their hearts content. Hinata missed her mother dearly. She died because of her ovarian cancer. The clan said she was lucky enough to have Hinata and Hanabi.

Hinata somewhat believed that her father did hold some feelings for her mother. She didn't expect much since they were arranged to be married. Sometimes it worried Hinata that the day would come when her father would find her a suitor. She is seventeen years old, the same age her mother married. Sometimes she hopes that her father would forget the concept of arranged marriage since all his time and dedication went to Hanabi.

Hanabi and Hinata aren't really close as they ought to be. Hanabi looked down on her sister much like her father would. She didn't really see Hinata as a role model. Hanabi charmed anybody she met, with her fake grins and charismatic ways. The young girl takes after her father, that's for sure.

Hinata slid on her oven mitts and reached for the pan. She quickly removed the pan from the oven and placed it on top of the stove. The pie looked absolutely wonderful. The crusts were crisp, just the way she liked it. She tried hard to not grab a piece while it was still hot. It made her mouth water. She'd wait a couple a minutes before slicing herself a piece of her chocolate pie. Until then she would have to find something to do.

She paced around the kitchen trying to figure out what she should do. The laundry was clean and her room is being cleaned by the housekeeper. Then she thought of the cobalt blue eyes of the handsome bassist that made her blush. She decided to keep up with her promise and be bold. She started a conversation with him.

Hi Naruto

Hey, is everything alright?

Yeah, I just finished baking the pie... I can give u ur piece now if u want

That would be awesome. How about we meet at the park in half an hour.

Sounds like a plan :)

I'll see you then. ;)

Being bold isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Maybe Naruto-kun would like this.

"What the hell am I going to wear?" Naruto mumbled,"I can't see her when I'm in this sweaty mess."

Naruto was dripping in sweat. That morning jog turned into a morning run. At least he wasn't too sweaty when he encountered her at the supermarket.

The tall blonde decided that he would take a hot shower to get all the dirt off of his body. The beads of water were conforting and it helped relax his muscles. Maybe it was the steam doing the wonders but everytime he walked out the shower, he comes out better than ever.

He finished his shower and put on his clothes. He wore a pale blue shirt and some jeans. He put on his head band and left to the park.

She sat on the park bench with her pie. She watched as the kids played on the playgrounds happily with each other. She hoped that Naruto remembered where they were supposed to meet.

He finally found the place where they were supposed to meet. He waved at her and she smiled gently at him and they both walked toward each other.

She wore a soft pink short sleeved shirt with a pair of white shorts that went to her mid-thigh. She wore her hair in a messy bun. Naruto never seen her without her bulky coat. She looked flawless in his eyes, as they grew closer and closer to each other his felt a small blush appear on his cheeks.

"I'm glad you made it." she said cheerfully.

"How could I not! Baked goods are the best."

"Oh, well we can use one of those picnic tables and eat the pie if you want to."

"Sounds great"

The two migrated to the picnic table and Hinata prepared their plates. Naruto stared at her as if she was some type of goddess. She noticed and smiled. After she was done preparing their plates the pair sat down and munched on the chocolate pie.

"Wow, this is pretty good."

"Thank you, my mother taught me how to make it."

"Well she is excellent."

"She was excellent."

Naruto looked at her confused. She then explained to him about the tragedy of her mother's death. He felt bad, he knows how it feels to lose something. He wanted to make her feel better and rid of all the sadness. He couldn't find the words to help cheer her up because he never knew his mother and didn't know how it felt. So instead he changed the subject.

"So you like martial arts?"

She nodded, "My father thought it would be a good idea if I participated in it." She took another bite into the pie, " I'm not much of a fighter though."

"Then why are you in it if you don't like to fight?"

"To get stronger. To earn my father's love... Maybe if he saw how strong I'm getting he wouldn't see me as a failed child."

"Oh." Her father sounds like a real jack ass. What kind of dad calls their child a failure.

Naruto then thought about himself. How people would tell him that he would never be good enough, that he'd never make something of himself. This was the fuel he desperately needed to make want to prove all of them wrong.

Maybe she's trying to prove to her dad that he is wrong what he says about her. She's really strong.

"So Naruto, what other instruments do you play?"

"Well I play guitar, piano, and I know how to play the drums a little."

"That's really awesome." she shouted excitedly.

"I can teach you some time if you want."

"I'd like that very much." she beamed.

Naruto liked it everytime she'd do that soft smile. He liked everything about the pale eyed girl. The way she moved, the way she laughed, her blush...

"I like spending time with you Naruto-kun.." she said as she held her hand out to him.

"Me too." he replied taking her hand with his own.

They held each others hand as they walked through the park. They shared their interests and their fears. The two of them really hit it off spending all this time together. Ko got the message and let them be.

It was sunset and the two were sitting on the grass. The both of them wishing they could stay like this forever. Hinata glanced at Naruto and his features. His perfectly framed face glistened with the sun's rays. She never thought she'd ever be this close to him, but she was glad that she had the chance to.

Naruto caught her staring at him and looked right at her. He gazed deep into her pupil less eyes. He saw her growing a small blush. She always tended to do that when he looked at her. He went closer and closer to her face wanting the breathe in her scent. Then he looked at her lips. They were slightly parted. He seized the moment and took her lips into his own.

She froze for a split second then relaxed and returned his kiss. He broke it and looked down upon her smiling face. He smiled back at her and planted a kiss to her cheek. She put her head against his shoulder and the two continued to stare at the beautiful sky. None of the two regretting the deed they just done.
