Breathless - Chapter 4

I don't own anything..blah blah...blah blah...

"Sa..Sakura...-chan?" Naruto stumbled on her name, blushing a bright shade of red, Sakura sharing an identical blush. Sakura cupped his face with her hands, to look into his deep, blue eyes. This was it, she had been holding on to this confession for a long time now, and it was time to share it with him.

"Naruto, from the moment I met you, I thought you were an annoying, goofy, stupid--

"Where are you going with this?!" Naruto interrupted, in an offended tone. Sakura giggled.

"I have a point with this I swear! Anyway, when we were younger I always thought Sasuke was better than you, so I fell for him, but as time has passed, Naruto, I....I..you're better." She sighed deeply, relieved she got that off her chest after so long. Sakura was dissapointed, however, when Naruto looked confused.

"Sakura-chan, I don't understand....". Sakura moved her hands off his face and lowered it futhur down, resting them on his chest, sending chills down his spine.

"Naruto, I love you" Sakura explained. Naruto grinned.

"I love you too!" He answered. "I just can't believe it! You..you don't know how happy you've made me" Naruto sobbed holding her tightly, carressing her pink hair. Sakura nuzzled her face into his chest, arms around his waist, also crying lightly.

Some time later.....

Sakura and Naruto were cuddling on the couch, watching a movie together, as a new couple. When suddenly, something hit them.

"Oh no! We left Kakashi at the training grounds!"

"Yes! I finished my second time reading this all the way through!" Kakashi shouted triumphly. "Okay we can resume training now!"

Silence....

"Naruto? Sakura?". His voice echoed through the empty woods. Kakashi was about to get up and leave, when he saw an exhausted Naruto and Sakura run up to him.

"Sorry...Ka..Kakashi-sensei..we...forgot..." Sakura panted, out of breath.

"Where were you two?!" Kakashi demanded, glaring between the both of them. Naruto chuckled softly, as he scratched the back of his head.

"Well...we kinda....got together..heh heh heh.". Naruto and Sakura both smiled at each other dreamily. Kakashi blinked.

"Well..umm...okay...I guess we'll continue this tomorrow then.." He replied, nervously. Kakshi waved goodbye to his students, then disappeared into the shadows.

"So Sakura-chan, wanna head back?" Naruto suggested.

"I'd like that." Sakura agreed. She gasped when Naruto's hand intertwined secretly into hers. Sakura smiled, being with him, was the greatest feeling in the world because Naruto could always leave her breathless. (A/N - Don't you just love it when they say the title, in the story?! XD)

(Present time)

Neji sighed and closed the open window. It was getting late, the once mango colored sky now was a navy blue one, glittering stars covered every inch of it. He decided to retreat into his room for the rest of the night. Quickly slipping into his sleeping wear, he crawled into bed and "attempted" to fall asleep, but he couldn't. A certain female ninja kept popping into his mind, stealing his heart, corrupting his thoughts, eating him up inside.....Hinata...

Almost like faith was trying to bring them together, Hinata knocked on his door, not urgently, but wantingly.

"Nii-san?" She asked, candidly. "Are you still awake?"

"....Yes..". Neji got up slowly and opened the door, pulling her inside, winning him a cute squeak, and blush from the girl. When pulled in Hinata immediately stared at the ground.

"Well....Neji...I was..wondering..." Hinata began, playing with her fingers, blushing mildly. "If I could sleep with you? Not like that, I...I just couldn't get to sleep..." She explained. Neji smirked at her innocence, he now understood why he loved her so.

"I guess so." He replied. Hinata squealed, hugged him quickly, then settled into the bed. Neji rolled his eyes, as he climbed in after her.

"Goodnight, Neji."

"Goodnight, Hinata-sama."

Some time later....

Hinata was fast asleep, but Neji was having a harder time. He couldn't keep his eyes off her, how she quietly snored, how adorable she looked, even in her sleep. Everything about her could leave Neji breathless (There it is again! XD) and wanting more. He inched his face close to hers, making sure not to wake her up, and kissed her, gently, and quickly, on her forehead, and rolled over on his side. What he didn't know was that Hinata was wide awake, and faking it. She smiled inwardly and whispered to herself,

"I love you."
