Hiccups

Hinata Hyuga was training in the snow during the late evening.

Whack, Whack!

Hinata's hands hit the wooden posts with dull thuds. Her indigo hair swaying with her as she turned, sweat rolling down her fair face, her crystal eyes narrowed in concentration. She was extremely hot from all the training and decided to stop for the night. She sighed and then suddenly they came.

"hiccup!"

The Hiccups.

Now Hinata was a little shocked. Though she had had them before, it was a long time ago. She giggled then hiccupped at the same time. It was a funny noise which made her giggle even more. She sighed/hiccupped and thought that she had better wait for them to go away before she went back inside. She figured that her father probably would look down on her for doing something so undignified. So she scrapped the snow off the top of the training post and sat on it.

"Hiccup!"

Coming back from a hard day of training, Naruto Uzumaki was walking slowly watching the snow drift down from the sky. He was enjoying it for it didn't snow that often in Kohona. ((I mean come on they live in the FIRE country!)). He looked up from the road to see the Hyuga mansion wearing a light blanket of snow. Looking at it made his mind wonder about the two Hyuga cousins.

"Wonder how Neji and Hinata are, I haven't seen them lately."

As Naruto walked through the snow banks around the Hyuga training grounds as a short cut home, he heard a weird little squeak. Well, it was more like something between a hiccup and a giggle. When he hide behind a tree and looked at the training ground, he saw a long haired girl sitting on a post. He started at the back of her head and thought,

"Is that…is that Hinata?" The blonde shinobi wasn't sure. Last time he had seen her, her hair was short and so was her height. She looked to be a bit taller and her hair was much longer. But when the girl turned her head to look at a star, he saw the side of her face and there was no mistaking it, it was Hinata. Naruto noticed that her face was much fairer than when he had last seen her.

"Wow, Hinata has really gotten pretty since I've been gone."

"Hiccup!" squeaked Hinata again.

"Uh? Hinata's got the hiccups?" Naruto thought for a moment then got a sneaky idea. When Sakura got the hiccups, he would sneak up behind her and scare the heck out of her. True, when she hit him on the head it hurt, but it always chased Sakura's hiccups away, maybe it would work for Hinata too. So, as quiet as he could be, he snuck around Hinata and tipped toed behind her from the right. (She was looking to the left of her). As slowly as he could in the snow, he went right up to her.

Hinata was looking at the stars unaware of the hyperactive boy that was plotting to scare her hiccups away. She looked to see in the gaps of the snow clouds the star cluster of the Uchiha clan fan symbol. She hiccupped again.

"Umm, I wonder how long my hiccups will last."

Well, if Naruto's plan worked, about three seconds. He straightened up and waited for Hinata to turn her head with a smirk on his face. Hinata looked at the Uchiha clan symbol for a second longer then turned to see if she could see the Hyuga clan symbol in the sky. Instead she saw for a brief second a pair of beautiful Cerulean blue eyes before she was cut off guard so badly she slipped off the post.

Hinata braced herself waiting to feel the ground but instead of the cold snowy ground, she felt a pair of strong warm arms wrapped gently around her holding her bride style. Hinata blushed, when she realized whose blue eyes she had seen. Blushing a deep red, the kunoichi looked up to see her childhood crush Naruto, looking at her with an apologetic look upon his handsome face.

"Sorry Hinata, I didn't mean to scare you that bad."

"T-that's okay Naruto."

He gently placed her on her feet and just stood there for a moment looking at each other.

"Boy, Hinata has really grown up while I was gone and more than one way…crap, damn you Jiraiya…"

"Naruto has grown a lot." Thought Hinata to herself as she looked down at the snow around Naruto's feet, not noticing that Naruto too had going a little pink in the face. She slowly looked up to see Naruto looking at her.

"Hinata, how are you? I haven't seen you in like, forever, how are you and Neji doing?"

Hinata gave a weak smile and said,

"W-we are getting along fine. You not only changed my life but you changed Neji as well. He is much kinder than what he used to be. He even made Jonin. I-I have made Chuunin."

"WOW! That's great Hinata-Chan!" he smiled one of his famous smiles.

Hinata was a little startled that Naruto had called her Hinata-Chan, she blushed even harder (if that was even possible), and said,

"T-thank-k you Naruto-kun."

Naruto tilted his head at her then asked,

"Hinata, why do you blush so much when you're around me?"

Hinata went wide eyed. She looked down and try to speak but her shy nature over took her and her voice faltered. If only she just could build up enough courage to tell him how she felt about him. Naruto looked at her thoughtfully. She was always nervous and for some reason Naruto thought it was really cute. He started to laugh which made Hinata look at him wondering why he was laughing.

"What?"

"Oh nothing. It's just you're so cute when your all nervous like that."

Hinata smiled a small smile at him, blushing a lighter shade this time.

Naruto looked up at the gray sky, a thoughtful look on his face.

"Yeah know, I don't think I've laughed like that….well for a while. No wait, there was that one time when I was training with Jiraiya that he was smacked unconscious by that one really big woman. Now THAT was funny, he was out for like, three days I think. That stupid pervert."

Hinata looked at Naruto with a sad face. She knew Naruto and Sakura were still hurting from Sasuke leaving. Hinata very calmly went up Naruto and wrapped her arms around him. Naruto looked at her for a moment and then wrapped his arms around her.

"It's okay Naruto, you'll get him back. I just know it."

"Thanks Hinata."

For what seemed like hours, the two just stood there holding each other, as the snow fell from the sky. All the while, Hinata's mind was racing.

"Should I tell him?"

She looked up to see Naruto's eyes closed a sad look still on his face.

"N-Naruto-kun?"

"Hmm? Oh sorry Hinata, I'm just worried about Sasuke and if I'm strong enough…."

"Naruto, it's alright, you are the strongest Ninja I know, even stronger than Neji-san. Don't give up Naruto. Like you always say b-believe it."

Naruto smiled a wide smile and said,

"Thanks Hinata. I guess I was just missing having someone to talk to."

"You can always talk to me." Smile Hinata back. Naruto looked at her thoughtfully for a moment then asked,

"Hey, Hinata, is there anything you wanted to tell me?"

For a moment Hinata wasn't sure what to do. But then, she remembered that she had promised herself that she wouldn't run away anymore and that this was the perfect chance to do so. She thought for a moment and then she smiled shyly and said in a soft voice,

"I d-do have something I wanted to tell you."

"Um what did you say?" asked Naruto leaning forward to hear her better. With that she made her move. She stood on her tippy toes and kissed him, taking Naruto for a spin now.

Naruto eyes widened as he looked at Hinata. Sly little Hinata. She kissed HIM. It then hit him why Hinata stuttered and blushed around him so much. ((TOOK HIM LONG ENOUGH! OMG!!))

Naruto slowly closed his eyes and kissed back, a blush coming into his face.

"This is the best kind of revenge I've ever gotten and she smells so good…like lavender…."

So there they stood, on the Hyuga training grounds in the middle of the night, during a snow storm, doing nothing less but kissing. And what a kiss it was. It was a good five minutes before they broke part. Well after all, she had wanted to tell him how she felt for a few years now therefore she was going to give her all. And Naruto…well he is Naruto after all.

The couple just stood there after they broke apart, looking at each other, watching each others breath in the cold air.

"H-Hinata."

"Hai-i."

"Is that what you wanted to tell me?"

"Y-yes."

"Just checking." Naruto smiled and looked into her lavender eyes and then laughed.

"This is going to be hard to tell everyone."

Hinata looked at him funny and asked,

"Tell everyone what?"

"We got together thanks to your hiccups."

Hinata blushed then laughed along with him. Naruto loved the sound of her sweet laugh.

"Come on, I'd better get you inside or Neji will kill me if he found out that I let you stand outside in the cold then you ended up sick or something."

Hinata simply nodded and they both walked to the gates of the Hyuga mansion, hand in hand. They kissed each other good bye and before she went in Hinata thought for a moment and called out to her blonde love,

"Naruto!"

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

He smiled.

"I love you too, Hinata-Chan. Believe it."

And as he walked away, Naruto smiled to himself. Scaring most defiantly was the best way to cure the hiccups.
