Chapter 4: Training together
As Naruto began to raise from his great slumber the sunlight blinded his eyes for a few seconds, his vision began to return to look outside and see the perfect day. The sun was shining through his window towards the top, he then pulled the covers off and slipped his pajamas off; then replacing them with his daily clothes. He headed towards the kitchen and began to make some food, time passed about 10 minutes and the ramen, drink and side dish of toast and jelly was on the table; he began to gobble it down while thinking about what he would do today
"I know, I will see if Hinata wants to train with me, I haven't done that for a while" He said with his usual and rather goofy smile on his face
He stepped outside and took a deep breath getting ready to walk towards Hinata's house, he was walking when he suddenly stopped and looked around as he heard his name get called from some direction.
"Naruto!" Said Sakua as she ran up to his to greet him and began to talk
"Oh hey Sakura, what is up?"
"Well I was wondering where you have been the last several days; I haven't seen you and I thought maybe you have got hurt again"
"Oh, well no I am fine haha. I was just with Hinata and we were just walking around and having fun. And speaking of Hinata, have you seen her today? I need to talk to her" He said as he looked around
"Yes I have, she is actually just right around this corner and she was walking this was slowly, I passed her on my way here to talk to you" She said pointing from the direction she came from
"Okay, thanks and I will see you later" He said as he began to run off
"Wait, I got a question for you"
"Yes, what is it?" He said with a slightly tilted head showing that he was wondering
"Are you and her together?" She said as she started teasing him
"No, were just friends and why do people keep asking me that?" He asked not knowing why
"Well that is because that you two are- well never mind, you go have fun and go find Hinata" She said as she started walking away
"Okay, I will haha" he said with a smile on his face
He bolted down the street just a little and taking the corner to find himself running into someone, he then realized that it was Hinata. They began to fall as Naruto grabbed her closer to him and turned so he would fall on the ground instead of her
"Oh hey Hinata, sorry about that" He said as he was now laying on the ground with her on top of him
"N-Naruto, um uh it is okay" She said with a really deep red face as she was just inches away from his face
She then quickly snapped up and got off as she saw Hiashi turn the corner and stare at her and Naruto. Hiashi then darted over and yanked Naruto up getting ready to hit him
"Wait father" She said as he came to a halt
"Why should I? I thought I told you to not-" He was then cut off by Hinata
"Because, we- we weren't doing anything" She said really nervous
Tears almost came out but stopped as Hiashi put Naruto down
"How do I know that you weren't?" He said still really angry
"Listen mister" Naruto said with anger in his voice
"I can assure you that we were not doing anything wrong, I ran around the corner and bumped Hinata. I then realized it was her so I pulled her close to me so she wouldn't hit the ground and I turned pulling her with me. I did that so I would hit the ground and she wouldn't be harmed. I don't know what you saw, but I know that there was nothing wrong with what I did" Naruto said explaining nothing was wrong
"How am I suppose to believe something that comes out of you're mouth, you are-" He was cut off by Hinata
"That is what happened father, nothing else" She said quickly knowing what he was going to call Naruto
"Fine, I came out to get some food. I will see you later" He said still angry about it
"Phew, thanks Hinata. I thought he was going to kill me haha" he said with his hands behind his head as he tilted on one leg and the other behind his other making a number 4 shape
"You're welcome N-Naruto, and thank you for um, you know; saving me" She said beginning to blush again whole thinking about how close they were
"You're welcome" He said now returning to his normal posture
A dead silence stood between them for about 10 seconds til' Naruto spoke up
"Oh yeah, I was actually looking for you" He said breaking the silence
"W-Why me?" She asked nervous as always since she was around him
"I wanted to know if you wanted to go training with me, since you're strong I thought you would be good to train with" He said looking at her while she had the usual light red/pink blush on her pale cheeks
"Sure, I would lov- like to go" she said cutting off the word love and turned it to like
There she did it again, she began to say love but then said like instead; is there something wrong?
"Well, shall we get going?" He asked reaching for her hand and began to pull her along with him
"He is holding my hand again" She said quietly with a now slightly deeper blush
"What was that?" He asked while turning to Hinata
"Oh n-nothing N-Naruto, I was just talking to myself a little" She said with her face turning even more red
"You're weird" He said as he slowed down and walked along Hinata
He thinks I am weird, and he said it again; does this mean he doesn't like me?
"But I like you" He said smiling at her
He then let go of her hand realizing they were still holding hands
"Sorry Hinata, I forgot" He said retracting his hand away from hers
"It's okay, we uh, we can still hold hand if- if you want N-Naruto" She said now looking away with a very deep red on her face and now pressing her index fingers together
"Well I don't mind if we do"
He then reached for her hand and she slowly moved her hand into his
I am actually holding hands with him, and we aren't running... it is more thoughtful
Naruto then began walking not putting much thought into holding hands, he thought of it as just being friends
"Um N-Naruto" She said still just as red as before
"Yes Hinata?" he said while looking up into the sky then down at the ground
"Where are we going?" She said while looking at him
"To where my first training section was with Kakashi, Sakuara and Saskue, why do you ask?" he said looking at her
"No reason, j-just wondering N-Naruto" She said as she quickly looked away from him as their eyes met each other
They then started running again to get there faster, they arrived just a few minutes later and sat down on the grass beside the lake and trees
"Well, lets begin" Naruto said as he stood up and offered a hand to Hianta
Hinata gladly took his hand with a blush beginning to cross her face
"Yes, let's begin N-Naruto" She said as she got onto her feet and they walked away from each other
Naruto began with getting in a position and Hinata did the same
"How about some Tijutsu" He said as he stood ready
"Okay" Hinata said standing ready
They then rushed at each other and started swinging but so far missed, Naruto was first to get a hit but stopped before contact and lightly tapped her
He... He hesitated... But why? Is it that he doesn't want to hurt me? Or is it because I am a girl?
"N-Naruto, um" She said as he backed up a little
"Yes?"
"Well, it is just that um, well why did you stop?" She asked kinda confused
"I'm not fully sure, I guess I just didn't want to hit you" He said thinking of why he stopped
"W-Well, we got to train and we got to fight f-fully don't we?" She said not wanting to hurt him
"Good point, I guess for now on we have to actually go out with the attacks" He stated as he began to come at her
"Right" She said while getting ready to defend herself
They exchanged attacks but never hit til' Naruto landed a punch, he did soften the impact so it wouldn't hurt as much but still went through with it. Naruto then dodged her attacks and hit her again and again. He noticed that she was starting to back down a little, he then slowed a little.
"Gentle fist" Hinata said as she landed a blow on his arms and stomach
Naruto then dropped instantly not sure what happened. Hinata quickly stopped and ran over to him
"I-I am so so sorry N-Naruto, I didn't mean to hurt you" She said starting to cry uncontrollably
"Don't worry about it, I am fine just a little pain. It just caught me off guard a little" He said while standing back up
"Okay, again I-I am very sorry" She said as she began to slowly back up a little
"Well, shall we continue?" He asked now back on his feet
"Sure" She said still drying her tears
They got back to their side a little and rushed in, dodging and attacking landing a few hits but still hesitating a little
"Gentle fist" Hinata said as she aimed for his arms again and his chest that was open for attack
Naruto then took guard and hit hers arms away and hit her in the stomach no hesitating this time. He then felt bad as she fell on her knees and clenched her stomach that was in pain. She then coughed up a little blood
"Hinata!" He yelled as her ran over to her feeling really sorry
"I-I am okay" She said as she then looked up at him with a little bit of tears in her eyes
"Come here" He said as he knelled down ad grabbing her close
Naruto was then holding her close in a hug as she was putting her head in his chest drying her tears, she then felt better right away. Just being in his arms made her fine
"I am really sorry Hinata, I didn't mean to hurt you" He said as he placed his hand on her head and gripping her a little tighter
"It is okay N-Naruto, I am a lot better now" She said as she slightly slightly moved her head back and forth into his chest as if she wanted to be close to him
"How about this, we go get some ice cream and no more training" He said as tears started rolling down his face
"Y-Yes, I would lik- no, I would love that" She said as she hugged him back laying on top of him
She did it again, but this time it was like then to love, and she hugged me. I really think that I am becoming her best friend
"Then let's go" he said as he hugged her before letting go and helping her up
"Yes, let's go N-Naruto" She said with the tears and all pain gone, and now filled with joy
They began to walk away and about half way Naruto leaned in towards Hinata and whispered in her ear
"Would you like to hold hands again" He asked knowing it made her happy
"Um, sure N-Naruto" She said as she moved her hand towards his
They held hands just a little like they did before many times. Just hand upon hand, not fingers locked. They soon arrived and were sitting down with a ice cream cone in their hands, they finished and Naurto pulled out his little green frog friend and Hinata pulled out a little money of hers
"No Hinata, I will pay for it" He said with a smile on his face
"Y-You sure N-Naruto?" She asked with a slight red becoming more visible than usual
"Yes, after all it is the least I can do after what I did to you" He said still feeling sorry
"You have already done enough N-Naruto, and besides. I-I am fine now" She said with her face turning more red and her head a little down towards the ground
"Okay, well I still feel bad" He said as he paid and gave her a small hug knowing it would make her more happy
Hinata then didn't expect it and wasn't used to it still as she began to fall and faint, Naruto then caught her and decided to just carry her a little ways to the next destination
"Huh, where am I? she asked slowly opening her eyes
"On our way to somewhere" He said while looking down where Hinata was in his arms
"I-I can walk now" She said as she began to stand on her feet.
"Okay" He said as he let her down out of his arms
Time passed as they walked and Naruto was leading. They go to where they were going and Hinata remembered it well
"Come on, over here" He said as he grabbed her hand and pulled her along to the grass
The sun was setting as they laid down on the grass next to the lake they have spent some time together at
"Hey N-Naruto" She said while staring at the sky that began to darken slightly
"Yes?" He said as he looked over at Hinata that was glowing
The sun was glowing perfectly on her left as it began to fall, he stared into her eyes that had the beautiful orange inn her eyes with a outline of her lavender colored eyes. The sun was shinning over her face showing off her pale skins features and her hair that had lines of orange sun shining through it
"I-I um think we should get going, my father uh, will be mad if I don't get back" She said now turning her head to see Naruto staring at her
"Huh? oh uh yeah" He said as he snapped out of his staring
"N-Naruto, stop staring" She said as she started blushing deeply and gently pushed his gaze away
"Sorry, let's get going" He said as he got up and helped Hinata up
They began to walk with the sun dropping fast and the moon beginning to show. By time they got to Hinata's house the moon was just rising fully
"Thank you N-Naruto, it was really um fun" She said as she began to reach for the door
"Thank you Hinata, It was really fun for me too" He said as he began to walk away
"Oh, N-Naruto" She said getting his attention
"Yes Hinata?" He asked not really wanting to leave
"The Exams are tomorrow, remember that" She said as she let go of the handle and walked over to Naruto
"Thank you, I almost forgot hahaha" He said as he turned around and walked towards her
They were now face to face with the moon shining on their side and the night was silent with the small noise of the small animals around... About a minute later they slowly stepped forward towards each other, Naruto then reached in and so did Hinata as they embraced each other
"Goodnight N-Naruto" Hinata said as she felt her self slightly cry and gripping him a little tighter
"Goodnight Hinata" He said as he squeezed a little harder as well
They then separated from each other and parted ways, Hinata went inside to her father waiting again and Naruto walked down the street of konoha by himself
"You came home on time this time, thank you Hinata. Now go get some rest if you plan on being in the exams you will need the strength
Hinata then went to her room with the thought of the day in her head, she began to drift off to sleep with a smile on her face
Naruto was now in his room laying down thinking of the day he had, he drifted off to sleep with a smile on his face as well
..."Goodnight" They both said as they thought of each other
