After a too long hiatus, a semester in college I feel it's time to get back to this story. Thanks for the patients let's see where I can take this. I have about 3 weeks left of school and about 3 more chapters written, I am thinking of posting every two weeks somewhere around that time frame, but please don't hold me to it I would love to continue writing as long as time permits. Without further to do. I present you with:
Chapter 8
Naruto spent all Saturday getting ready for the dance; he took his time making sure he appeared flawless. His hair was still blonde and spiky however, it had a tamed look to it. He was dressed to perfection in a navy blue pinstripe suit, with a gold shirt. He wore a navy blue and gold checkered tie, a black belt with gold studs, and navy blue dress shoes. He sprayed some of his favorite cologne on his black beater, brushed his teeth for what seemed like the twentieth time that day, and flashed his signature smile in the mirror. Grabbing Hinata's solid gold rose he headed towards her apartment.
It was dark when he left his house, however, he did not let this affect him. While walking down the street he thought he heard someone following him, so turning around he saw no one there. He shrugged it off and continued on his quest to pick up Hinata.
Upon making it to the timid girls apartment, he took a deep breath to settle his nerves. He then knocked on the door. Neji was the one who opened the door, he was dressed in a white suit that complimented his pale eyes.
"Oh Naruto, We've been expecting you, come on in, Hinata is upstairs getting ready" Neji said as he gestured for Naruto to come inside.
Naruto walked over the threshold and stood in the small living room.
"Have a seat Naruto. Hinata will be down in a minute, and I want to talk to you."
Naruto obeyed his given command and took a seat. "What's on your mind?" He asked
"I know all about you Naruto, and what you do in your private life is your business. However that beautiful young woman upstairs really does like you… I would normally be fine with that because I think you are a wonderful catch. However if you hurt her then your personal life will become my business." Neji said with a menacing stare.
Naruto did not falter his gaze even under Neji's new found revelation and he kept his eyes locked onto the pale ones even as he felt his heart rate elevate.
Hinata made an appearance at this point saving Naruto the chance to have to retaliate. She looked very elegant in a solid gold dress that came all the way to the floor and hugged all the curves of her body. Her hair hung down to her waist and she had on very elegant gold gloves "Naruto-Kun" she said blushing
"Wow Hinata you look great!" Naruto exclaimed with a smile as he stood up and held out the solid gold rose in one hand, and his arm for her to take. She descended the stairs and grasped his arm. They looked like they were going to the Prom.
