Ch.11: "Hello, classsss. I am your sssubsstitute teacher..."

A week has passed since the sleepover. All the couples were still growing stronger and stronger. Today was Sunday and Naruto had asked Hinata if she wanted to go on a date the other day. Of course, Hinata accepted. Naruto was happy; he was like a baby who got candy. Naruto was getting ready in his room. He was going to go pick Hinata up at twelve and right now it was eleven thirty. Naruto quickly grabbed his baggy black sweater and left out.

He wore a black shirt under the sweater and he had on black skinny jeans with red shoes.

Naruto took his time walking to Neji's apartment because it was only eleven thirty five. Naruto just couldn't wait until twelve to see her.

When Naruto arrived at Neji's apartment, Neji had told him Hinata wasn't ready yet. Naruto didn't mind though, he did come early.

Naruto sat in the living room for ten minutes, talking with Neji, until Hinata arrived. When he saw her, he was amazed by her beauty. She didn't really look different, but she always caught his eyes everyday.

Hinata wore a dark blue blouse and light blue skinny jeans with flats. Her hair was tied up into a ponytail.

Naruto stood there for a while until Hinata started walking towards him. Naruto smiled at her and walked towards her for a hug.

"You're beautiful. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, forever… you're always beautiful," Naruto whispered in her ear.

Hinata blushed, "Thank you, Naruto. You're always handsome," she replied back.

"Ready?" he asked. Hinata nodded in his chest, "Let's go."

Naruto took her hand and led her out. They walked hand in hand around the village. They stopped to try some food here and there at the center of the village where all the restaurants are at. Naruto then took her to the shopping center to do some shopping with her.

"Pick anything you want, Hinata," he said as he led her into a clothes shop.

Hinata led him around the store looking at clothes. They spent hours at the shopping center and Naruto was now carrying five shopping bags with clothes from different stores. Hinata picked some clothes for Sakura too, which Naruto didn't mind. He liked how Hinata was so kind hearted.

"Ready?" asked Naruto to Hinata. They were both now sitting outside of one of the stores since they were worn out. Especially Naruto.

Hinata smiled and kissed him, "Yes. Thank you for everything Naruto."

Naruto looked at his watch and was amazed at how long they were out. They left Neji's place at noon and now it was six in the evening.

"Let's go back home," said Hinata as she took his hand and led him.

Naruto stood up but didn't start walking. He tugged Hinata's hand and smiled.

"We're not done with our date yet, Hinata."

"What?" she asked. She was happy Naruto was doing this for her, but she didn't want to just always use his money. He already paid for all the clothes even though Hinata brought money too.

"Don't worry. I planned this. We were going to walk around the village, then I was going to take you shopping, and then I was going to take you to a movie."

"So we're going to the movies now?" asked Hinata.

"Yep," Naruto nodded, "c'mon. It starts at six thirty. If we go now, we can make it."

Naruto led her to the movies. When they arrived, it was six twenty five. Naruto bought two tickets to Despicable Me (the first movie) and they went in.

Two hours later, Naruto and Hinata came out of the theatre.

"The minions are soooo cute!" squealed Hinata.

"I know," replied Naruto.

"Thank you for winning me this minion, Naruto," she said as she kissed him.

After the movie, Naruto and Hinata went into the arcade room in the theatre. Hinata had seen a minion in the claw machine and Naruto tried to win it for her. Five tries later, Naruto got it.

"You're welcome. Now let's go home before I get in trouble by Neji. It's almost nine."

Naruto and Hinata walked back to the apartments. Naruto took her to Neji's apartment and when they were in front of the door, they said their goodbyes.

"Goodnight, Hinata, and goodbye. I'll see you tomorrow," said Naruto as he hugged her and kissed her.

Hinata hugged him tighter, "Goodnight. Thank you for today, it was probably the most fun I've had in my life. Thank you for being with me. I'll see you tomorrow," Hinata said. When she broke their embrace and was going to knock on the door, she was pulled back into a hug again by Naruto.

Naruto hugged her tight, "I love you," he said as he played with her hair.

Hinata was blushing madly. She felt like she could faint anytime. She broke their embrace and looked up at him. He was smiling down at her, which caused her to smile at him. She leaned up and kissed him. Their kiss lasted a minute until Hinata realized she really had to get inside or she will get a lecture from Neji.

She looked him in the eye, "I love you too," she said as she gave him another quick kiss then turned to knock.

Naruto grinned. He felt so happy that she felt the same. When the door opened, it revealed Neji at the other side.

"You're back. Welcome home," said Neji as he gestured for Hinata to come in, "Hello, Naruto. Thank you for taking good care of her. Hope you guys had a fun date.."

Naruto put his thumbs up, "Yup, believe it! Well, got to go. Goodbye Neji, goodbye Hinata."

"Goodbye, Naruto," said Neji

The next day was Monday. Everything was normal except for fourth period. Today, Asuma-sensei was absent and they had a substitute.

"Hello, classsss. I am your sssubsstitute teacher, Orochimaru," said a man wearing a yellow shirt with black pants. He was very pale and he had long black hair, "Any quessstionssss?"

One boy raised his hand, "Yesss…" Orochimaru looked at the seating chart, "Donny, you have a quesssstion?"

The said boy nodded, "Are you bisexual?"

The whole class laughed while Orochimaru looked angered, "Boy, would you like to know persssonally?"

He shuddered, "No thanks…"

Orochimaru giggled and covered his mouth with his hand, "Better, or you'll be limping."

The whole class shuddered and freaked out.

"Anywayssss, attendanccce. When I call your name, sssay here. Kiba,"

"Here."

"Naruto."

"Here."

"Sssasssuke."

"Hn."

"Sssassuke."

"Hn."

"Ssssay here."

"Hn."

"Look here brat! Ssay here!"

"Hn."

"Uggghhh, moving on. Ssshino."

"Here."

"Hinata Hyuuga," he said while looking for her.

"Here," said Hinata.

Orochimaru stared at her for a while. Then he continued with roll call.

Throughout the class, he taught them some basic math.

Throughout the week, they still had Orochimaru as a substitute. They heard that Asuma-sensei was in the hospital since his sickness was harmful. Orochimaru was a weird man. Everyone thought he reminded them of a snake and they assumed he was really bisexual because of his comment on Monday.

The only thing different from everyday is that throughout the week, Naruto and Sasuke had kept a very close eye on him. Why? Because whenever it came to Hinata, Orochimaru paid very close attention. Naruto thought it was weird that on the first day he came, Orochimaru said Hinata's full name.

Naruto was glad today was Friday and they finished math class already. He was getting frustrating having to keep an eye on Orochimaru and having to restrain from hitting him. All sorts of things ran through his mind. Was she in danger? Was it because of him? Did Orochimaru know who he was?

When school finished, Rookie 9 walked out of their last period. Naruto and Hinata left to the apartments first while the rest stayed to hang out for a while.

While Naruto and Hinata were walking, they were oblivious of a figure following them… or so the figure thought.

Naruto had felt the presence when they turned the block and whispered it to Hinata. They were going to lose the person following them by going into the shopping center. It took them hours to lose it. The person was very good at following. Naruto and Hinata had to go to many shops just to lose it, and when they finally did then ran all the way home.

When they got to the apartments, Naruto told Hinata to come in their place.

"Hinata, you should stay over since its the weekend and I'll be worried about you. I don't know who was following us, but it's dangerous… I'll call Neji and inform him…" said Naruto while Hinata nodded in understanding.

'Does the person following us know who I am? Am I putting Naruto in danger?' thought Hinata.

Naruto had told Sasuke and Neji everything. Neji understood his worry and approved for Hinata to stay over. Neji and Sasuke had their guards up for the same reason, to protect Naruto and Hinata.

Somewhere in Konoha at night stood two figures looking down at Konoha from a monument.

"I lost sight of the girl. Sorry, my lord. Are you sure she is the heiress to Byakugan?" asked one of the figures as it lifted something on the bridge of his nose with his index fingers.

"Yesss, I'm ssure. Be ssure to capture her. We're going to be rich sssoon," said the other figure as it laughed evilly.

"Yes, my lord."
