Diclamer: Do NOT own Naruto
Step 7: Thank You
It had been a wonderful couple of days for Hinata and Naruto. The blonde showered the shy girl with complements and gifts and Proclaimed his love for her to the whole village at the top of his lungs every day while at night he gave her sweet naive kisses good night and whispered that he loved her before going to his own bed and falling into a peaceful sleep knowing that his one and only was only one bed away.
Every day it seemed like they had there own personal circle of space where the sun seemed to light the both of them up no matter how bad the weather. Their own little atmosphere of love that made even the most hate-filled person smile and feel their icy heart melt.
At least that’s how Sakura pictured it all in her head the day she found out the date between the two went great.
She woke up the next morning to find Hinata sitting in her bed reading a book that she knew for a fact the girl had finished just before they reached sand. She also found Naruto organizing his backpack, which was definitely out of character.
Now here there where two weeks later and they had only been on one other date and still nothing really happened between them.
Sure Hinata was shy, but she figured at least Naruto would have made a move.
The relationship between the two really was going nowhere. Sakura growled to herself in frustration over the small problem, exaggerating everything in her head.
“You can practice that forever but, it’ll never sound intimidating.”
Sakura jumped in surprise and turned to face the man behind her. “Oh, it’s just you.”
“Yeah, nice to see you again too . . . ” Kiba responded a little offended.
“Sorry . . . it’s just that Naruto and Hinata . . . ”
Kiba rolled his eyes at the girl. “Your not still going on about that are you?”
Sakura looked off to the side holding her gaze for a few seconds before they wandered to the ground and then back up at Kiba. “Well, it’s been two weeks and they’ve only went on two dates and if you ignore the fact that we had to threaten him to ask her out on the first one . . . there not getting very far.”
“Sakura you have to stop spying on them like this. Besides true love takes time to develop.” He said shoving his hands into his pockets, akamaru giving him a bark of agreement.
Sakura was once again looking at him surprised. “When did you get so smart?”
The dog boy shrugged. “Shino said it when I asked what was taking those two so long.”
“Should have known. . .Wait! That means you where spying to! You hypocrite!”
“Hey, I’m not a nosy little brat, I wasn’t spying, I was asking my questions and what do you know, I received answers.” Kiba said mocking amazement.
Sakura glared, “Your no better idiot, that’s still being nosy! Who in their right mind just asks people questions like that?!”
“Who in their right mind hides in bushes and spies on people?”
The girl opened her mouth to say something, Pointing an accusing finger at him but her angered expression was replaced by a scared look as she grabbed his arm and pulled him behind the nearest building.
“Hey!”
The pink haired female clamped a hand over his mouth. “Shhh! They’re coming this way!” she said peaking around the corner and quickly pulling back. “That’s weird. They didn’t plan anything like this today.”
Kiba blinked confused. “What?”
Sakura sighed, “Naruto was supposed to train all day and Hinata had plans to go shopping with Ino.”
“I guess stalking Sasuke al those years had a lot of practice with the whole business, didn’t you.” He asked looking at the girl a little freaked out about her spying skills.
Sakura gave him an innocent smile let out a giggle. “I have no Idea what your talking about Kiba.”
Kiba scooted away from the female. Naruto had warned him about that whole act. She would act all sweet then in an instant she would swing, knocking you through a wall.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-
“- but Ino got caught up at the shop . . . so. . . . ”
“Bummer.”
Naruto and Hinata were walking down one of the streets of their village. They had met up a few minutes ago by coincidence. Hinata was on her way back home from the flower shop, and Naruto was on his way to the training field, just getting done at the Ramen stand. “Hey why don’t we train together, You can help me out with dodging or chakra control.”
Hinata looked at him from the corner of her eye. She had always watched him train with Sasuke or by himself and when he did train he always had this determined look in his eyes and he would act more serious, but not completely. There would still be a playful spark in them. She had also watched him fight at tournaments and things, he would have the same look in his eyes but it would be intensified and the playfulness would be gone.
The only thing that didn’t change between spars and the real thing was his spirit, no matter how hard he was beat up and no matter how much blood he lost, he always found away to get back on his feet. So it wasn’t any wonder why the first time she sparred him she was intimidated. She felt so over whelmed that she passed out twice. Once when he went to attack then again when he woke her up and she realized how close to her he was.
After that though she calmed her self trying to keep her embarrassment down, it didn’t help when he asked if she did that when she trained with Shino and Kiba. Finally though they got around to sparring and she was surprised at how strong Naruto actually was.
She had a hard time keeping up with the blonde but she was always right behind him and it wasn’t like sparring with Kiba or Shino or fighting against an unknown enemy. She actually didn’t know what to call it, It was scary but it was exciting and it made her look at fighting in a whole knew way. Like it was fun to fight. The competitive streaks and the adrenaline rushes. It was such an exhilarating experience.
Hinata smiled at Naruto and nodded. “. . .All right.”
Naruto smiled back as they headed to the training field.
He didn’t know what it was exactly about Hinata that he liked, it was like he couldn’t pinpoint it. On the outside she seemed shy and timid, but on the inside he knew there was more brave, more fierce. He just had to drag it out of her. However, for that to happen he had to get break threw her self-conscious barriers. If he got past that maybe she’d feel a bit more . . . not so edgy around him.
It was fun to hang out with her though. Although it took her about an hour for her to start acting more natural around him. It made him happy that she felt relaxed around him, but at times he found him self missing her blushes.
And right now was one of those times.
They walked in a comfortable silence for a couple minutes and Naruto kept looking at the girl waiting for something to pop into his mind that would make her blush. However, only one thing came to mind.
There budding relationship wasn’t widely known, just a their teams and Ino who Sakura ‘just had to tell’. So it was probably safe to assume that Choji and Shikamaru knew too. It was a good thing those two weren’t so gossipy.
The walked quietly for a few more seconds before he reached out and grabbed the Hyuuga girls hand gently slipping his fingers between hers.
Naruto watched as Hinata looked down at their entwined hands surprised then slowly look up at him, a blush on her face that could have been noticed from way across the village.
She gave him a timid smile and in return he gave her a flashy grin. The pale eyed girl gave a light laugh and shyly looked down to her feet and she hesitantly rested her head on his shoulder for a few second which gave the blond just enough time to rest his head on hers lightly in a some form of a hug.
=-=-=-=-
Kiba held one hand to his ears trying to block out the deafening tone of pink haired girl’s squeal. “Do you mind?!”
“Didn’t you see it? He did something, He made a move!” She hissed at him trying not to blow her cover. Evidently she had forgotten about the high-pitched squeal she let out not but a few seconds ago.
“Yeah so. . . . ” Kiba said causally looking away from the girl before and him and two the blossoming couple that were walking down the street.
It was then that he noticed that Naruto had stopped and was currently looking around crowed like he was searching for something. Kiba grinned and looked back at Sakura abutment flashing in his eyes.
Sakura who was to busy mentally cheering her teammate on, didn’t realize that Kiba had waved to both the blonde and the blushing girl at his side. She really didn’t have a clue that both people were on their way over until a taller shadow covered her own and a voice that she knew all to well spoke up.
“Um . . . Sakura? What are you doing?”
Sakura spun on her feet quickly and flashed Naruto a smile. “Oh nothing just thinking about redecorating my room.” She said hastily and started shoving the curious boy towards his date while listening to her inner-self yell about the horrible lie.
Naruto gave her a suspicious glance. “ Thinking about redecorating your room? In an alley?” He asked turning around to face her. He watched her nod and shook his head. “ I think your losing it Sakura.”
“Are you calling me a liar?!” She yelled at the blond in an offended tone, balling up her fist and glaring.
“What? No! It’s just that I heard you talking to Ino the other day and you said you just got done doing your room, and well . . . I just thought that it was strange to be redoing your room so soon!” Sakura seemed to calm down somewhat, well she relaxed her hands at least. “Your not spying on us are you Sakura?” it was said in a playful joking manner tended to make the girl laugh and joke back however she didn’t seem so amused.
“Yup! She’s been following you guys around since day one! She’s been practically spying on you guys twenty-four seven.” He said chuckling at Naruto’s expression.
The blonde gave Sakura a shocked looked before he let out a defeated sighed and slumped forward. “Why don’t you have any faith in me?”
Sakura let out a sigh of her own. “ Sorry, but you know you do have a tendency to screw up a lot, and face it you don’t have a lot of experience with dating, so you bound to screw something up.”
“Harsh” was all Kiba could whisper to himself as he stood beside Hinata watching the other two argue over Naruto’s bad luck with girls and life in general.
Naruto turned his back to Sakura huffing in response to her ongoing lecture.
Sakura shook her head. “Face it Naruto unless it has to do with fighting you are a complete screw up.”
“Sakura! That’s not true!” Both Kiba and Sakura looked at the girl completely taken aback while Naruto looked at her gratefully. The girl’s eye’s widened at her on outburst and she had to resisted the urge to cover her face. “Wh-what I mean . . . is . . . that he . . . That he’s accomplished a lot . . . And he’s a really great person.”
“I didn’t say he was a great person, but He’s just not all that smart in some area’s of life. I mean he didn’t even know what to do with the flower you gave him.” Sakura replied, trying to get her point across.
The smaller female looked down at the ground in embarrassment. “I know . . . but that doesn’t . . . it doesn’t mean th-“
“Hinata . . . you don’t have to explain. ” Kiba said calmly cutting her off before she could finish, and he shot a glare at the pink haired girl a glare. “You know he might screw up a lot but you don’t have to throw it in his face. Espescially things like that.” He spat at the girl, emphasizing ‘that’.
Sakura glared back. “I’m only trying to say that he-“
“I know I’m a screw up but you’re no better.” Naruto yelled quickly shutting the girl up. “You even set it your self, when we were younger and you were always getting in the way. You always called your self a problem.”
Sakura stood in silence for a while before sighing for a second time. “I know, It’s just that your . . . ” the girl went quiet again. “Just forget it. Here take this.” She said shoving a couple pieces of paper in the blonds hand. “As an apology for the way acted. I was going to give them to Ino but she’s on another diet anyway.”
She didn’t wait for a reply before walking out into the crowded streets, giving Kiba one last glare.
He glared at the girls back till she was out of sight. “Little snob . . . ”
“Man what’s her problem lately. She’s acting like Sasuke on a bad day, only less calm and more talking.” Naruto said scratching the back of his head and looking at the two slips of paper in his hand.
Hinata looked around quietly, locking eyes with Kiba for a second before smiling and looking back at Naruto.
“I can only imagine.” Kiba said as he looked from Hinata to the Naruto, who’s blush was quickly fading and smirked. “I’ll catch up with you two love birds later!” He yelled and ran out into the crowd, going the opposite way of the girl that had left moments before.
This time both the teens blushed at their fullest from the Inuzuka’s last words, looked at each other for a second before nervously looking away and walking out of the alley.
This time it was Hinata who grabbed a hold of the blondes hand, squeezing it gently. “Let’s get to . . . the training ground . . . before it gets dark.”
Naruto Gave her a sheepish grin and nodded pocketing his two coupons for free Ramen. “All right.” He murmured squeezing back. He’d put off his teammate’s strange attitude till later.
“Hey Hinata?”
“Yes, Naruto?” the girl asked looking up at him curiously.
The blond looked at her, blushing again “Thank you.” He said softly.
It took a couple seconds for Hinata to figure out what he meant, but when it finally clicked in, she blushed alongside him, giving him a smile of her own.
