It's been a couple of years and Naruko was now 10 years old. She failed the graduation exam again and she was starting to believe that she would never graduate from the academy. She was sad but she tried her best to hide it. Naruko was all by herself on a swing that she sits on most of time. Hinata would always try to cheer her up but Naruko was always trying to hide her true feelings from anyone, even her best friend.
Hinata was approaching the swing and saw that Naruko was swinging on it this time. Hinata called out to her best friend when she saw that she was slowing down her swing. Hinata was in front of her and called out her name, which startled her.
"Naruko!" Hinata said
Naruko yelped from the surprise that Hinata gave her and she ended up falling on Hinata. Their lips were touching and that made Naruko back away as quickly as possible.
"My first kiss was stolen by accident! Although Hinata's lips were nice soft. Wait! What am I thinking?!" Naruko thought
Hinata was also having similar thoughts. But she fainted and that left Naruko worried.
"Hey! Hinata! Get a hold of yourself! Hey!" Naruko said
No matter how many times she called out to her friend she would not wake up. Naruko blushed at the thought of looking after Hinata but seeing the condition that she was in, she had no choice. She picked her up and headed towards the infirmary. She stayed there until she woke up. Naruko ended falling asleep while waiting for her friend to wake up.
Hinata opened her eyes and looked around the room and realized that she was in the infirmary. She felt something brush up when she moved her hand. She looked and saw that it was Naruko. She saw that her friend was sleeping. Hinata tried remember what happened and when she was able to remember why she fainted in the first place she blushed. She was close to fainting again but she was able to stay conscious this time. She looked at Naruko again and began to think about the kiss that the two ended up sharing on accident.
"My first kiss was taken by Naruko. Well as long as it's Naruko then I don't mind it all that much" Hinata thought
Naruko opened her eyes and saw that Hinata was staring down at her. She blushed and fell down on her butt. She did a crab walk backwards and stopped when she felt her back hit the wall.
"Naruko? What's wrong?" Hinata asked
"N-nothing" Naruko said
"Are you sure?" Hinata asked
"Of course I'm sure! Why wouldn't I be okay?" Naruko asked
"Well, the two of us accidently kissed each other. We shared our first kiss with each other. I was worried that you would be mad at me since I was the one who startled you" Hinata said
Naruko thought for a minute and realized that all of this was actually Hinata's fault but for some reason she wasn't as mad as she thought she would be.
"W-well, it was an accident so I'll forgive this time" Naruko said
"That's relief, I thought you would be angry" Hinata said
"I told that I'm fine! I-it's not like I enjoyed the kiss or anything!" Naruko said
Hinata saw that Naruko's face was getting really red. She could tell that her friend still had the kiss on her mind but there was no way that she would admit that to her.
"Naruko?" Hinata asked
"What is it?" Naruko asked
"Did you carry me all the way here?" Hinata asked
"Of course! But I only did it because I needed to not because I wanted to" Naruko said
"You needed to?" Hinata asked
"If I just left you there then I would get a scolding from Iruka-sensei about abandoning you there. Plus It's not very healthy for you to stay out there all by yourself since you would be an easy target" Naruko said
"Well, thanks" Hinata said
"It was no problem at all really" Naruko said
"Did you stay here with me the entire time that I was unconscious?" Hinata asked
Naruko blushed again and started to come up with an excuse on why she would stay with her in the first place.
"W-well, y-yes. B-but don't get the wrong idea! I only stayed here to look after your health! I didn't do it because I was worried about you or anything! Baka!" Naruko said
"Thanks Naruko. You're a really nice person" Hinata said
"W-w-what a-are y-you s-saying a-all o-of a s-sudden?" Naruko stuttered
"I'm saying that you're a very kind person" Hinata said
"Do you even know what you're saying?" Naruko asked
"Of course I do. I know that you're a nice person" Hinata said
"Stop saying that! I am not a person at all!" Naruko said
"Yes you are!" Hinata said
"All I did was take you to the infirmary. Anyone could've done that" Naruko said
"And you were the first one to do that" Hinata said
"I only did it because I had to not because I wanted to!" Naruko said
"Well ether way thank you" Hinata said
"N-no problem" Naruko said
The two girls went back to class and as soon as school was over Naruko was about to head home but she was stopped by Hinata.
"Naruko!" Hinata said
Naruko turned around and saw that it was Hinata. She asked her if she wanted to go shopping. Naruko thought for a minute and agreed to go shopping with Hinata since she never had anything else do after classes were over. The two girls entered the store and tried on some different kinds of outfits. They started out with some bathing suites. Hinata came out first and it was obvious that she was a little embarrassed. Naruko was complemented her and said that it didn't looking half bad on her.
Hinata's swimsuit was a simple white one piece. Naruko decided to go next and entered the changing room and came out with an orange two piece swimsuit. Hinata was just staring at her. Naruko noticed that she wasn't getting any reaction from Hinata. She saw that her friend was just staring at her.
"D-don't stare too much, it's embarrassing" Naruko said
"O-oh! I-I'm sorry" Hinata said
Naruko smirked and started to act like someone who had superior complex.
"Were you so entranced by my beauty that you couldn't find the words that you wanted to say?" Naruko asked
"That might be it" Hinata said
Naruko blushed and started to tell her that she was kidding.
"It's not like I'm happy that you think that I'm pretty or anything!" Naruko said
The two girls continued their shopping spree until they decided that it was time for them to go home.
