The Final chapter! I can't believe it's over! I could almost cry, but that will have to wait.

Discalimer: I do not own Naruto, Naruto is the work of Masashi Kishimoto. Finally I did a discalimer sensibly without any stupid comments! oh wait...

QUICK RECAP!

"You all had better pray that those two aren't awkward with each other now!" Ten-Ten added.

END OF RECAP!

BACK WITH NARUTO AND HINATA.

"So, uhh, are you doing anything later today?" Naruto asked Hinata, his voice calm and serious.

Hinata's heart was going ten to the dozen; she had an idea of what was going to happen, he was going to tell her that he only saw her as a friend and things like that, she was trying her hardest to keep herself calm, it was only another 5 minutes until they got back to her house, where she'd be able to bury her head into her pillow and do nothing but cry. Then when the image popped into her head she thought that she'd look extremely pathetic and that just upset her even more.

"Uhh, Hinata? Are you ok?" Naruto asked his voice still calm but showed some concern.

"Oh yes I'm fine." Hinata replied, her voice quivering as she felt her lungs feel heavy.

The two of them walked in silence the rest of the way, although it was only 5 minutes it seemed like an eternity to Hinata, they finally reached her house, Naruto offered to help her carry everything to her room.

Hinata took off her jacket and hung it in her wardrobe; she turned around and saw Naruto placing everything on top of her dresser. He then turned to her with the same look that he had done back at Sasuke's house, it wasn't a cold stare but it was just so serious that Hinata at first had thought it wasn't actually Naruto. She knew exactly what he was going to say.

"Well then Hinata I'll see you later." He said, walking toward her door.

"Yes, see you Naruto." She replied, ready to collapse as soon as he went.

He walked outside and closed the door, Hinata waited until the sound of his footsteps had gone completely. She knew that look, even though he didn't say anything she was almost a hundred percent sure about it, he only saw her as a friend. She dropped to her knees, curled up into a ball and just laid there on the floor, just crying to herself for almost two hours.

After she had calmed down, she got up, her knees feeling week and still shaking, although it had been 2 hours, she knew she'd be able to cry for at least 2 days, however, she didn't want that. She began to hope that eventually, the awkwardness would fade and they would be able to go back to being friends, it would be better then thing being awkward all the time anyway.

She walked over to her dresser, Naruto had placed everything neatly on one side, she looked around at her presents, specifically the one from Sai, he had drawn her standing next to Naruto with his arm around her shoulder. Hinata then again felt herself beginning to cry again, she wiped her eyes and something on the other side, it was a note, and it was Naruto's handwriting, her eyes went wide as she began to read it.

'Dear Hinata, I'm so sorry that I forgot about your present last night, I've left what was going to be it next to this note.'

Hinata looked to the side, there was a necklace with a pendant on, it was silver and said friends forever on the front, she opened it up and there were two pictures inside, one of herself and the other of Naruto.

Hinata's heart sank, she couldn't hold back any more tears, 'Does this mean he doesn't even want to be friends anymore?' She asked herself, she decided to carry on reading through her tears, her eyes went wide.

'I don't want us to be friends anymore, to find out exactly why, look behind Sai's drawing, and then come and find me to tell me what you think.'

Trying her hardest to hold herself together she lifted up the picture and there was a small box there, she opened it up and saw a gold chain, as she lifted it out the box on the end there was a gold heart shaped pendant, she opened it up to once again reveal pictures of them both, she then noticed that in the box there was another note, she opened it up and it only had one sentence on it.

'Be my girlfriend.'

Although it wasn't the most romantic line Hinata didn't care, without thinking she ran towards her door with the necklace. She opened it and stopped, her eyes went wide and her entire body froze, Naruto was stood right there, looking like he had been crying himself. He still had the same serious look in his eyes, only this time, she could see them filled with hope.

"So then, what's your answer?" He asked.

Hinata didn't respond, she was speechless, she wouldn't even be able to stutter, it took all her strength to nod just enough so Naruto could see the movements. He put both his arms around her neck and began kissing her.

When Hinata finally recovered she realised something, "How did you know when I'd read the note?"

"I didn't, I've actually been waiting hear all this time, I'm sorry, it was cruel of me to upset you like that. Can you forgive me?"

"If I wasn't going to forgive you then why would I have said yes?" Hinata responded.

"Well yeah that's true." Naruto realised, scratching the back of his head.

"So anyway, why did you decide to ask me out? Because the guys told you that I loved you?"

"Well, it's just that after it got mentioned I went out for some fresh air, and then I got to thinking about how you've always stuck up for and been there for me to make me feel better. About how you're smart, kind and beautiful and are always good company. And while I was thinking about that, I realised how much I l…" Naruto was cut off by Hinata pressing her lips against his.
