Chapter 1: The Walk Home

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, nor do I own any of the characters in it. This all belongs to Masashi Kishimoto, bow down to and praise him for this wonderful manga/anime!

It was a brisk autumn Friday afternoon, as the junior ninja's flied into class after their lunch break. Among these were Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and the shy Hinata Hyuga. They all walked to their next and last class of the day, which was advanced ninjutsu.

Everyone quickly took their seats on the long benches and at the big tables, so as not to be late. The bell sounded and the class quickly fell silent as a teacher they had never seen before walked in.

He identified himself as their substitute teacher for the day. The work was assigned, and after everyone quickly finished up people started to move around the room and talk to their friends. A few girls moved over near Hinata, and one sat next to her because there was no room on the other bench. Hinata being somewhat anti-social and shy, picked up her Stealthy Techniques book, and began reading.

She was desperately trying to concentrate on her book, but what the girls were talking about was much to distracting.

"So, how many times have you guys had sex?" One said.

"Oh, only a few times, about three I think." Another replied.

They continued on like this for a while until the girl next to her said "What about you, have you ever had sex before?"

It went silent for a moment, then Hinata realized they were talking to her and looked up from her book.

"N-n-no." She said nervously, and then went back to her reading, blushing furiously and hoping that they wouldn't talk to her again.

"You going to wait until you get married?" Said the girl next to her again.

"Y-yes." She replied, and then went back to her book a second time.

About five minutes had then passed, and although the girls were no longer talking about sex or sex related issues, she still couldn't concentrate. Those questions that the girls had asked her were echoing in the back of her mind. She could no longer read or even pretend to read her book, the words were starting to annoy her just looking at them.

She realized that it was about three minutes until the end of class, and decided to pack up her things. She took a glance around the room and then she spotted him, her whole reason for living (or so it would seem), the reason she actually wanted to come to school everyday, Naruto Uzumaki. He was about 4'9", twelve years old (just like her), had blond spiky hair, and wore an orange jump suit. He was sitting in front of his two friends Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno, and as usual they were arguing about something. Naruto would be trying to prove a point to Sasuke, Sasuke would be calm and collected, and Sakura would tell Naruto to shut up and mind his own business.

Hinata just sat and smiled at them from a distance as she thought "I'm such a coward, I can't even tell Naruto my true feelings for him." Just then the bell rang. Everyone jumped up and basically ran out the door, but Hinata calmly picked up her things and headed towards the door.

She was walking staring at her feet, and before she reached the door, bumped into Naruto, literally.

"Omph! Oh, I-I'm s-sorry Naruto." Hinata said holding her head, looking back to her feet, and blushing slightly.

"Oh, hi Hinata!" Naruto said, with that goofy smile on his face.

"H-hi Ummm…I have to go now." She replied and briskly walked out of the room.

"Hey, Hinata wait up!" Naruto called after her.

She was already walking down the steps outside the entrance to the school when he caught up with her.

"Hey, Hinata what's up with you today? Is something bothering you?" He asked.

Hinata paused for a moment, stopped walking on the side walk, and turned around to meet his luscious blue eyes.

"R-really it's n-nothing Naruto y-you don't have to w-worry yourself a-about m-me." She told him, and quickly tore her gaze away from him, only to find herself staring at the cold grey pavement again.

She turned on her heel, and started to walk away again, but Naruto Uzumaki wasn't about to give up that easily.

"I'm getting the feeling that you don't like me very much." He said now walking right next to her.

"N-no! D-don't get the w-wrong idea! I-it's not that I don't l-l-like y-you it-it's just…these girls in c-class." She told him.

"Oh, what did they do?" He asked.

"N-not really what they did, m-more what they said." She said, finally getting her stuttering under control a bit, and getting more comfortable talking to him.

They walked the rest of the way to her house talking about school, life, techniques, and just about everything in between. There was laughter between them, and before they knew it they had arrived at Hinata's house.

"W-well here's m-my h-house." She said, sounding even more nervous then before.

"Yeah, well this was fun Hinata; we should do it again sometime." He told her.

"Y-yeah, w-well I'll see y-you on M-Monday." She said, and opened her front door.

"See you later Hinata!" Naruto said, and then walked off her front porch.

Hinata closed her door once he was outside the front gate. She had the back toward the door, and smiled the biggest grin she had ever smiled, and then walked upstairs to her room.
