HEY!
I am back once again with another chapter of PLACING BETS!
WOOT! ^_^
Anyway, it's as awesome (or actually, crappy) as always, but I hope it's not bad!
Writing isn't really my bailiwick...and neither is it a latent ability...:)
So, enjoy!
And I really don't own Naruto. I don't think I really need to say that.
Naruto and Hinata were walking home. Naruto glanced around, scanning their surroundings if anyone was still following them. He didn't find anyone. Hinata was doing the same, until THUD! Her right foot had caught onto a tree root and she went tumbling forward.
"Hina-chan! Are you OK?" Naruto rushed over to help her up.
"Yes, I-I'm fine." Hinata said meekly. She was angry at herself for being so clumsy. Naruto shrugged and sighed and they continued to walk. Hinata winced every step she took, which Naruto noticed right away.
"Hina-chan, are you sure you're fine? You're limping! I'll carry you home, if you want!" Naruto said, concerned.
Hinata's face began to heat up as she declined. "N-No thanks. It's my fault anyway. I d-don't want to be any trouble..."
"Fine, if you say so," Naruto said slowly.
"What do you mean-"
Hinata was interrupted as Naruto laughed and carried her bridal style. Hinata gasped in surprise and met Naruto's eyes. He wore a foxy grin and winked as he walked forward. "N-n-Naruto! You can put me down. I c-can manage. Ano, I-I'm so weak anyway..." She sighed sadly.
"Haha, I'm fine! You not even the slightest bit heavy! Plus, you aren't weak. Don't let anyone say that to you!" He laughed. "Another thing-You're so strong, you didn't faint at all today so far!" Hinata smiled a tiny bit and blushed.
A few minutes later, Naruto and Hinata arrived at the Hyuga Manor. He carefully set Hinata down and smile broadly. "OK! We are here! I hope you have fun, Hina-chan!" Hinata realized that he still hasn't dropped the nickname. She wondered why.
"N-Naruto," she began. "W-what's with the n-nickname?"
"Oh, you mean, 'Hina-chan?'" Naruto asked. "I don't know, I just, well, I wanted to give a nice nickname to my most favorite girl into the world!" Hinata swore she was hearing things.
"Ano...w-what?"
"I said, it'd be nice to have a little nickname for my favorite girl!" Naruto frowned and scratched the back of his head. "But, if you don't like it, i could change it...or just call you Hinata..."
"I-I don't like it."
Naruto sighed, and you tell that he was a bit saddened. "Oh..."
"I-I love it." Naruto's jaws dropped.
"R-really? You don't think it's bad?"
"No."
"Aw, you're the best, Hina-chan!" Hinata giggled, to which Naruto thought the laugh was simply angelic. Naruto hugged her suddenly, much to her surprise. She was speechless until Naruto let her go. "Sorry! I might have crushed you Hina-chan!"
"It's fine!" Hinata was bright red once again.
Naruto, who was still a bit dense, raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? You look sick. I'm sorry."
"N-no! It's all right!" She replied quickly.
Naruto and Hinata were still at the entrance of the manor. "OK! But you should go inside. Your dad and Neji are gonna kill me if you're not home yet because me!"
"Y-yeah, youre right. But one...more...question..."
"What?"
"Remember the question I-I asked you, ano, when we were on the Ferris Wheel?"
Naruto knew what she was talking about, but he decided to have a little fun. "No..." He said slowly.
"Oh..."
"What was it?" He asked slyly.
"It was nothing..."
"Come on! I want to know!" Naruto tried to keep himself from grinning in amusement.
"A-Are you sure?" Hinata's wanted to avoid the situation.
"Stop stalling! It's all right! Tell me!"
"S-So how's the weather?" She tried changing the topic.
"Hina-chan!"
"Just forget it..."
"Just say it! Please?"
Hinata pushed her fingers together nervously. "Well, ano, I asked you i-if you l-like m-m-me." She said quietly.
"What? I can't hear you!" Naruto said, getting closer to Hinata by a few inches. Her face heated up.
"I-I-I-"
"You what?"
"I asked you if you liked me!" She blurted out, soon covering her mouth in embarrassment. She sighed, knowing Naruto would probably say, 'No, I'm sorry, I still love Sakura. Bye!' Hinata didn't like this.
But Naruto laughed, to her surprise. "What kind of question is that? Of course I do! I didn't-"
Somewhere off into the distance, or more specifically, the Hokage's Office, there was a shout that was definitely from Lady Tsunade. "NARUTO!"
Naruto's eyes widened. "Oh snap! I forgot! Lady Tsunade wanted to see me today, dattebayo!"
"W-Well, you s-should get going." Hinata said, smiling.
"Yeah, or I'll never hear the end of it!" Naruto began to walk away until he paused for a moment. He turned around, and being the son of Konoha's Yellow Flash, he quickly approached Hinata and met her lips with his. (OH MY GOSH! XD) He then turned around and waved as he ran. "Bye Hina-chan! I hope you had fun on our date! See ya!"
And he was gone.
Hinata took a deep breath as she became ten shades of red that Naruto never knew existed. She had a hard time taking it all in. First, he treated her to Ichiraku's, then he took her to the carnival and won her a stuffed animal, bought her favorite food, went to the Dango Shop with her, walked her home, carried her when she tripped and fell, told her that he liked her, and then kissed her! And it wasn't a dream! Unlike other times! Naruto went on a date with her and then kissed...her...Hinata couldn't take it anymore. She avoided it the entire day, but now, she couldn't help it.
She fainted.
Neji, who came home a few hours ago after his "get-together" with Tenten, was going to do some nightly training, until he heard a loud THUMP! as he walked down the hall. " BYAKUGAN!" He activated his kekkei genkai and scanned the Hyuga manor. He noticed a body outside next to the entrance. He rushed toward the person, and then gasped. Hinata was on the ground, smiling, but unconscious. 'She probably fainted,' he thought. Only one person could do this to her. The Hyuga prodigy carrried Hinata and frowned a bit. 'How dare Naruto do this to Hinata-sama?!' Naruto was gonna get it. He then shouted out to no one in particular.
"NARUTOOOOOO!"
Meanwhile, the birds squawked as they flew across the night sky.
Yeah, I know this chapter is really short.
I got busy and lazy.
And I blame procrastination! :)
and the fact that I still have to update a story that I haven't updated in about two months...maybe even three?
Oh, and the story may seem over, but I think I'll fit one more in...
In fact, I will.
Yup! Bai!
