Chapter 15: Relatonship's End?!
"H...Hanabi?! W..what are y..you d..doing here?!" Hinata asked.
"I could say the same thing." Hanabi replied.
"Wait. Hanabi? As in your little sister, Hanabi? This little brat is your sister?!" Naruto asked, surprised to be 'meeting' his girlfriend's sister like this.
"Hey! Who're you calling a 'little brat'?! I'm a member of the Hyuga Clan." Hanabi yelled, irritated that she was called a brat. "Who does this kid think he is? No one has ever called me a 'brat' before. Disrespectful ingrate." Hanabi thought.
"Who do you think I'm calling a 'little brat?! And I know who you are, Hinata told me all about you and your Clan. And personally, I don't care if you're from a Clan or not. If you act like a brat, I'll call you a brat." Naruto replied.
"Hmpf, fine. But I want to know why you two are sneaking around." Hanabi demanded.
"I...I don't kn..know wh..what you're t...talking about." Stuttered Hinata.
"Fine! If you won't tell me, then I'll tell father." With that Hanabi turned and began running toward th Hyuga Compound. Naruto had other plans though. Naruto threw a kunai towards Hanabi. The kunai zipped right past Hanabi's head. Hanabi turned around to see who had thrown the kunai, but she didn't see Naruto. Suddenly, Hanabi's had a hand cover her mouth and her arms held tight to her sides by and orange clad arm. "Hm hmm hmpf!" Hanabi yelled. Or attempted to anyway. lol
"Listen, Hanabi. Calm down already!" Naruto yelled. Hanabi did as told, knowing what Naruto could do from this position. "Alright, now listen. I'll tell you why we're sneaking around, but only if you agree not to tell anyone. Alright?"
"Hm mm mmm..hmm..mm."
"Huh? What was that?" Naruto asked, removing his hand to understand what Hanabi tried to say.
"I said, 'on one condition'." Hanabi answered.
"Hm, what would that be?"
"You have to tell me how you beat my cousin, Neji."
"Sorry but that's something you'll find out later, IF I trust you enough to tell you."
"Do you trust her enough?" Hanabi asked, refering to Hinata.
"Well she found out, somehow. But she didn't tell anyone before she talked to me about it first. And that kinda made me trust her." Naruto answered, slowly getting annoyed with the little girl.
"What?! I'm her sister! Tell me, or I'll tell my father abou..." Hanabi began, before Naruto interrupted.
"I SAID, I NEED TO TRUST YOU FIRST!" Naruto yelled, effectively shutting her up. "Listen. The option still stands. Please just except it. If you gain my trust, I'll tell you how I beat Neji. Deal?" Naruto asked.
Hanabi thought about it for a moment, before asking. "And if I don't agree? Then what?"
*Sigh* "Look. Your sister makes me very happy, and I'd like to think that I make her happy as well. Right Hinata?" Naruto replied.
"O..ofcourse you make me happy, Naruto. You shouldn't ever have to 2nd guess that." Said Hinata, with a smile on her face.
Hanabi saw the smile on Hinata's face, and saw that it was genuine. She then looked up towards Naruto. She couldn't get that good a look at him due to the angle, but she could tell that there was a smile on his face as well. Hanabi looked down, and reluctently agreed. "Fine. It's a deal. But you better tell me the trusth, and let me go."
Naruto let Hanabi go, and began explaining once she turned around without running away. *Sigh* "Look, Hinata has liked me for a long time now. And..."
"Knew that part that already. The whole Hyuga Clan knew. I want to know why, you two a sneaking around." Hanabi interruted.
"I was getting to that. Sheesh. Anyway, I guess I finally noticed Hinata. I got to know her, and I started liking her. I didn't know if she liked me back, so I didn't ask her out at first. It wasn't until my 1st 'C' ranked, turned 'A' ranked, mission where one of my teammates almost died. It made me realize that life can be too short. So I decided to try and ask Hinata out. Even if she didn't like me, I knew that I at least tried. Turns out she really did like me, and we've been dating ever since. Anyway, that's about it." Naruto explained.
"Ok, that explains why you're going out. But not why you're sneaking around, keeping it a secret." Hanabi said, informing him that she wasn't satisfied.
"I..it's because he isn't very well liked among most of the village. They wouldn't except our relationship, just like the Hyuga Clan. Once everyone acknowledges Naruto, they'll accept our relationship as well. But until then, we're acting like I'm still too shy to talk to him and he's oblivious to my feelings. We don't like doing things that way, but it's the only way. For now anyway." Hinata explained.
Hanabi thought about everything she was just told. As much as she wanted to argue with what they said, she realized that there was nothing she had to argue with. But then she wondered if the dislike towards Naruto had something to do with his parents. "But what about you parents? Who were they? Are they the cause for everyone disliking you?" Hanabi asked.
Naruto looked down. He didn't trust Hanabi with that knowledge, so he had to lie and hope she believed him. "I don't know. The 3rd Hokage said he'd find out, but he died before he could. All I was told is that I was found in the forest, all alone outside the Leaf Village. All that was there was a note with the name 'Naruto' on it."
"Didn't anyone adopt you, at least?" Hanabi asked.
"No, no one even acknowledge my existence. That's why I started pranking people. I didn't care what kind of recognition I got, as long as I got some." Naruto replied.
Hanabi looked down with a sad look on her face. She had an entire clan, so she didn't know what it was like not to have anyone who cared. "I'm sorry, I didn't know." Hanabi said.
"It's ok. It's just 'water under the bridge' now, I guess." Naruto replied.
The three made their was off the Hokage Monument, where they went seperate ways. But not before Naruto gave Hinata one last kiss on the lips, before heading to Ichiraku's for ramen.
Hinata was walking Hanabi home. Everytime Hinata and Naruto had a date, Hinata would spend the night at her sensei's. Hinata didn't really want to impose, but her sensei wanted to help her hide her relationship with Naruto.
Hanabi was curious about something, and the thought of it made her blush. "Sister?" Hanabi asked.
"Huh? What is it, Hanabi?" Hinata asked, curious as to why her sister was blushing.
"Wh...what does it feel like to be kissed on the lips?" Hanabi asked, with a slight stutter.
"Wh...why? A...are you in..interested in a b..boy?"
"No, I saw...well you know. And I was just curious."
"Oh. Well, it felt really nice. I..it's kind of hard to explain. I..I mean, w..with me my h..heart flutters un...uncontrollably. But in a g..good way. I'm sorry that I c..can't be of more help." Hinata explained.
"It's ok. Well, I'll see you tomorrow. Good night." Hanabi said, when the two were a short ways from the Hyuga Compound.
"Good night, Hanabi." Hinata replied, before turning around heading towards her sensei's apartment.
"So, how'd it go?" Kurenai asked, everytime Hinata closed the door behind her after her date.
"It was good. Except that Hanabi found us out." Hinata replied.
"What?! Did she tell your father?"
"No. We made a deal with her."
"A 'deal'?" Kurenai asked, intrigued.
"She wanted to know why we were sneaking around, and if we didn't tell her she'd tell our father. So we told her about how Naruto wasn't liked by the villagers, and that no one knew who his parents were." Hinata explained.
"You didn't tell her about the Nine-tails, did you?"
"No. She asked if Naruto's parents were why he was disliked. Naruto told her that no one knew and that the 3rd Hokage was trying to find out and tell him, but he died before that."
"I see. Did she leave it at that?" Asked Kurenai, knowing that if it were her she would've continued asking more question.
"Well, she did want to know how Naruto beat Neji. But we explained that it was a matter of Naruto trusting her first." Hinata answered.
"I see, speaking of trust..."
*Sigh*
"Huh? What?" Kurenai asked.
"Kurenai sensei. You know that I trust you, but it's not about me trusting you. It's about Naruto trusting you."
"I don't doubt that you trust me, Hinata. It's that for almost two months now, Naruto doesn't trust me enough to keep his secrets. Even though I've been helping you two keep your relationship a secret. I know I shouldn't be prying as much as I have been. It's just that my curiousity is getting to me, is all?" Kurenai explained.
"I understand sensei. *Sigh* I'll talk to Naruto about it, and see what he thinks. Alright?"
"Yes. Thank you, Hinata."
So what do you think? Should Kurenai be allowed to have knowledge of Naruto's secret Jutsu, or not. I've put up a poll, and I want to see you votes. The poll will be up for 1 week as of today, 2 July 2013. Maybe longer, if I forget. For those who guessed Hanabi, you were obviously correct. Someone thought it would be funny if it was Anko that found them, and I agree. But Anko hardly knew them, so she had no reason to follow either of them. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Please review, thank you.
