Chapter 12: Love Birds
Four days passed with no disturbance at the Hyuuga household. However everyone remained on guard. Neji had said something about waiting a few more days before they could blow the whole thing off and mark it of as false information or that the spies had given up or no longer needed the Hyuuga’s documents.
However those four days left Naruto and Hinata a chance to hang out like normal couples. They used every moment they could to see each other, they had a normal dinner one the first night, no spying friends and no interruption. It had been a pleasant night Naruto told her more stories about his team, and even opened up a bit and told her things he didn’t even tell his own team.
She had told him small things about herself, like how she kept a small collection of seashell from the different places she had been and when her admiration for him turned into a crush.
That confession had shocked Naruto, but at the same time it made him happy and he decide not to tell her that he never really noticed her till he had that mission with her.
From then on it had been simple things like meeting up with each other for lunch or taking a small walk around the village just to talk.
Today they decided to train together. One thing Hinata liked to do was spar with him, She remembered watching him train from a distance and wishing so badly to be able to ask him if she could join him. It was one thing to watch him and get her motivation from him, but to actually go one on one against him. It was amazing. Maybe not when he actually landed a hit in but to be able to train with some one who’s skills you admired? It wasn’t really something she could explain, but She loved it.
Naruto had thought that having a girlfriend would cause him to lessen his training so when Hinata started asking him to train with her he was all too happy to oblige. The girl was shy and timid, and always reluctant to hit someone, but when she did, It left a mark, an impression, and somewhat of a relieved feeling that she barley ever made physical contact when she fought due to her background.
“Has your clan ever considered giving it to Tsunade, I mean the security in the Hokage tower is pretty high.” Naruto sat next to Hinata wincing as he touched his now bruised cheek, he secretly thought about hinata and Sakura fighting and wondered who would win, Sakura and her were probably about the same strength but sakura was good at dodging and hinata could see Chakra points. He decided in the long run it would be fifty-fifty.
Hinata shook her head negatively and started to twiddle her thumbs. “No, My father won’t considerate it because there. . .might be traitors in the higher ranks who have access to the files. Like the Uchiha clan there are things that should be kept secret about my clan.”
“Oh, you mean like the secrets of the Uchiha clans Sharingan?” the blonde asked, shifting closer to the girl.
The girl once again shook her head, but her hands stopped moving. “Well, actually I don’t know.. . m-my father is the only one who’s actually seen them so. . .not even Neji’s seen them so it’s a mystery to everyone . . . except father.”
Naruto’s eyes were slightly widened with curiosity and surprise. “You mean you never snuck a peak at them!”
“Of course not. . .I’m not allowed.”
Naruto looked at her and could only grin. If that had been him, you could of bet that he would have done anything humanly possible to get a hold of that knowledge. She must of had a stronger will then him, but that was only one more quality to add to add to his ‘lovable traits of Hinata’ list and that was a long list. Everything from her modesty to determination and now her strong will.
He never thought he would be sitting down this close with Hinata and having a conversation were she wasn’t red in the face spacing out or fainting. She was always that weird quiet girl that liked spy on him then avoid him like the plague.
Well he didn’t know she was watching him with admiration till a few weeks ago, but that was beside the point. The point was the more he talked to her, the more wanted to be around her.
He wasn’t as stupid as he use to be either. He knew he had an ever growing infatuated with Hinata. He also remembered Jiraiya trying to explain these types of feelings to him, saying it was completely unmanly and very dangerous.
However, Naruto knew better then to trust the old perverts words about women. The man might have been an expert one the female anatomy but when it came to the hearts of women and had proven that on many occasions, that he knew nothing.
Besides what harm could the girl possibly cause him, she wouldn’t hurt anyone for anything.
Hinata looked at Naruto’s grin and was truthfully curious as to what was going on in that head of his, but a more timid side of her thought it was better not to ask. So she just smiled back somewhat unsure.
The blonde looked up at the still grinning. “ Hey Hinata? How many times do you think Sakura and the others have spied on us?”
Hinata looked away from Naruto and to the sky, wondering what he thought about when he looked up at it. “Not sure. They were there when we had our first real date”

“Move over I can’t see anything!” With a force full shove Lee found himself face first on the ground and a sharp pain going through his hand
“Ow, Tenten your stepping on my fingers!” He shout pushing her off his injured limb.
The girl caught her self with one hand and pushed herself back up on both feet this time being sure not to step on his fingers. “Shut up lee or they’ll hear you.”
“I really don’t think we should be spying on them. ..”
“I told you. I’m not spying I just want to confirm what Neji said.” she replied a bit spaced out as she parted a small bush and look out at the two figures.
“But we’ve seen them around the village, walking together a lot more often. Plus they’ve been eating out together”
“You mean you’ve seen it?” She pulled back from the small hole hearing her friend mumble a ‘yes’, She looked back out to the couple and pulled lee with her to look with her.
Her eyes held a dreamy look to them. Lee recognized it as the look she gave when she would daydream about her secret crush.
“Can you imagine How happy Hinata will be when Naruto asks her to marry him!” Tenten squealed excitedly, fidgeting from her spot on the ground.
“How do you know He’ll ask her to marry him?”
The brunette gasped shocked before smacking at the boys head, missing as he ducked. “Don’t say such things, Of course he’ll ask, look at the way he watching her, He’s totally in love!”
Lee peered out of the bushes to see what was happening. Hinata was smiling with a small blush and sure enough as the sky is blue, Naruto was looking at her with this certain gleam in his eyes. Lee himself couldn’t identify the look, but he would trust his comrades deduction of the situation. After all his sensei once told him that women had a good intuition in the matters of love. “How Youthful!”
“Hmm. . .Lee I think We should head back now. I mean love birds need there privacy don’t they?” She giggled, grabbing her friend and dragging him to there original destination to meet up with their team.
0000000000000000000000000
“Come on it would be easy enough to sn-” Naruto who had been trying to get the girl to take a look at the old scrolls, stopped talking and looked around suspiciously.
“I-is there something wrong, Naruto?” Hinata asked looking around as well trying to see what naruto was looking at.
“I though I heard Lee. . .” He said still looking around his eye’s narrowed on a bush that seemed to be swaying without any wind.
“Lee?”
“Yeah. . .thought I Heard him yelling about youth. . .” Naruto shrugged after a moment and gave a toothy grin. “But you could probably hear him shouting from another village!”
Hinata hid a small laugh behind her hand. “N-naruto you should t-talk about people like that. . .” Hinata only started laughing again when Naruto stood up and started mimicking the taijutsu users poses.
Still laughing she reached up and took hold of his and pulled him back down to the ground.
Naruto sat there on his knees in front of her as the girl laughed. He smiled a rare, small and soft smile, leaning towards the girl who’s laughter seemed to die down as she looked at him blushing.
Hinata’s looked at him with wide eyes, he didn’t seem to notice however as he just shifted closer to her. ‘Is. . .he.. .he’s going to. . .’ Hinata thought, swallowing nervously.
The not-so-there blonde pulled back into his original position, still looking at her. “H-Hinata?”
The girl’s blush deepened at the tone of his voice. He sounded like himself but different in a way, it could have been his nervous. Maybe it was just the way he was looking at her. Nobody had ever looked at her that way. Was there something only he could see. She also found that she couldn’t look away from him, but like all the other times she didn’t feel all that embarrassed, but she was slightly scared. What she was scared of she didn’t really know.
The blonde swallowed a lump in his throat and once again leaned forward.
Hinata forced herself not to run and hide. ‘He’s getting closer. . .he’s going to. . .’ She felt her temperature shoot through the roof. ‘No don’t pass out! not now. . .he’s so close. . .’ she thought praying she didn’t faint, especially since she could practically feel his breath.
“N-Narut-to?” ‘So close . . .’
A loud noise and a puff of smoke alerted the couple to a new presence, and in a flash Naruto was back to sitting on his rear, and both facing away from each other.
“H-h-hello, N-Neji!” Hinata stuttered out nervously, quickly getting to her feet and bowing politely.
“Hey Neji, what’s up!” Naruto said a little too loudly.
The older Hyuuga looked at them suspiciously before shoving his curiosity in the back of his mind. He handed over a scroll to Naruto before he spoke. “There was a brake in. The Clan’s scrolls are gone. The Hokage wants us to follow them, we already have leads. . .Hinata, your father already went ahead, we are to follow immediately. You too Naruto, go get ready were meeting at the gates within fifteen minutes.” Neji gave them both a nod before heading back to his home.
Sighing Naruto shoved the rolled up paper into his pocket. “Well guess we’re on a mission. . .again” He said bitterly.
Hinata placed a hand on his shoulder. “At least we are going together, right?” she said trying to make him feel less upset.
Naruto took a hold of Hinata’s hand and turned to face her, “Right!” He said smiling. Naruto was about to let go of the girls hand but suddenly tightened his grip. When she looked up questioningly His smile turned into a playful grin and before she knew it he leaned down quickly and placed a small light peck on the girls cheek.
Naruto turned around to run off, barely getting two steps away when he heard the sound of someone hit the ground. He stopped dead in his track and his shoulders slumped. He didn’t need to turn back to know what happened, he just wasn’t sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing, but one thing he was sure of was that, Neji was going to brutally kill him.
Sighing again he turned around and picked the small girl up. ‘Maybe she’ll wake up before I get there!’ He thought hopefully as he took off.
--
After some self degrading thoughts, enduring a harsh lecture from the Young Hyuuga male and waking up Hinata, They made it out of the village about an hour later.
He looked over at Neji, who looked more calm then cautious. He knew Neji was confident in his skills and that he probably thought that he could win with little to no problems. But that was because of Neji’s arrogant stature. It was part of his personality to be that sure of himself, but Hinata?
Looking over at Hinata Naruto took a second to observe her. Her giddiness from earlier had wore off and had been replaced by a more solemn and cautious demeanor. She looked completely devoid of any doubt. He wondered for a second if she was really as confident as she appeared or was she just determined to protect her families history.
He himself although confident that they would win wasn’t so sure that they would make it in time. He hoped that they would make it before the enemy got to take a peak. However if they were able to read it what would happen?
Neji stopped suddenly jumping off the path and into the forest, Hinata and Naruto following Immediately. “From here on we are going to use the surrounding area to our advantage.” He said pulling out a map and laying it on the ground. “I’m going to assume the enemy knows we are following them. In that case we need to move carefully. Hinata and I will take turns scouting ahead to preserve energy, Naruto because you don’t have Byakugan your going to have to watch our movements carefully. We’ll stay in the denser parts of the woods, until we hit the border.”
Naruto nodded watching as Neji showed them the trail on the map that The Hyuuga leader had marked down earlier, apparently he had feeling on what was going to happen. “Hey Neji what would happen ti they actually looked at the scrolls?”
Neji shook his head. “I don’t know, No one but Hiashi Knows what’s on those papers. No one is aloud to look at them except the Head of the family.”
“But why, I mean if it’s a Hyuuga secret should at least his own daughter be aloud to look at it?” He asked confused.
Neji shook his head and rolled up the map putting it back in his bag. “I don’t expect you to know how families like ours works, But I’ll try to make it clear for you. Say Hinata read those scrolls then went on a mission. If she were captured and her mind infiltrated, then the contents of it would be revealed and the future of the Hyuuga clan would be in danger.”
Neji and Hinata started walking ahead , Naruto followed, still confused. “Yeah I understand that but she’s going to be the leader one day won’t she, shouldn‘t she have the right to know?”
“This is hardly the time to be discussing such trivial matters. Why don‘t you try asking Hinata‘s father after we recover the scroll.”
Naruto mimicked other boys sentence in a low nasally voice. After all those years Neji still acted like he was superior to everyone else.
Hinata placed a hand on Naruto shoulder. “It might not make much sense. . .but, It is nesscary for our clans survival. If these people read the scroll they could possibly learn how to counter attack our fighting style, then our skills on mission would be rendered useless. . . It wouldn’t take long for information like that to spread.”
“I understand that it’s just the fact that it’s not fair to fight for something you know nothing about, I hate missions like these. For all we know it could be some dark secret of your families history that they don’t want to be let out. . .Not that I think your family did anything wrong! I just, I was. . .uh”
“Making a point?” Hinata suggested playfully, watching Naruto nod repetitively. “I know but Neji’s right we shouldn’t worry about that now we have to get that scroll back. It belongs to my family and I can’t let the clans future be put at stake.”
Naruto gave her a smile, She looked so confident right now. It was amazing.
“If you to love birds are finished with your little pep-talk Can we go now it’s starting to rain. Mud and wet grass make for a poor fighting environment.” Neji snapped irritation obvious in his voice and stance. “I told you we don’t have time for pointless chatter now, let’s go.” He scolded and started moving.
Hinata bowed and moved ran off as well “Sorry!”
Naruto gave a half hearted glare before following after the two.

I am determined to finish this story before adding any more. Think I can do it? lol.
later-
