Chapter Five: 'Training'

Recap:

Just then, Hinata put her hands in a familiar seal.

/recap

"Byaku-" Hinata was cut off by her 'training partner'.

"UHH, Hinata! Actually, I didn't really ask you to come with me just to spar..." Naruto admitted sheepishly, sweating a fair amount due to nervousness.

"Wha-what's the m-matter, Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked, a confused look on her face.

Behind the trees, Sakura and Tenten slowly released the breath they've been subconsciously holding as the two prodigies did so inwardly.

"Well, it's like this. I saw you training yesterday and saw that Kiba put his arm around your waist and," this was where he had started fumbling with words and talking really fast, "...and I guess what I'm trying to say is that I like you, Hinata. A lot." Naruto had just noticed he had said it all in one breath and inhaled due to lack of oxygen.

Hinata, startled at the news, didn't know how to react. Her face turned many shades of red and her mouth was left agape. Naruto took this as a sign that she didn't like him and frowned visibly.

"I'd understand if you didn't like me, I mean, not much people do and a pretty girl like you would probably..." Naruto was soon cut off by the shy girl.

"N-no! It's not like th-that, I just," Hinata played with her index fingers, which she hadn't done for a while now. "I like you too, Naruto-kun," she confessed, her whole face now heating up from the sudden confession and from the compliment. She was even too nervous to stutter! Does he really think I'm pretty?

"Really? Great! Let's go to the park! It'll be our first date!" Naruto perked up and hauled Hinata out of the forest.

"Oh and," Naruto added, "you're cuter when you don't stutter." This comment made the girl blush. If she was pink when he complimented her, she was now red, definitely. He leaned in and quickly kissed her. With this, she promptly fainted. Naruto looked shocked. He definitely wasn't expecting that. He picked her up and - without a word - headed in the way of the hospital. Their date would just have to wait.

While in the trees...

The four figures behind the trees watched as Naruto stopped abruptly and pecked Hinata lightly on the lips.

"Well, that was close," Sasuke said, jumping out of the trees when he was sure that Hinata and Naruto were far away enough.

"Did he just do what I think he did?" Neji growled.

"That was so cute!" Tenten followed Neji who had also jumped into the clearing, holding him back from jumping on the newly formed couple. He relaxed as soon as they disappeared from view.

"I never knew Naruto could be so subtle!" Sakura joined the rest of the group.

"You call that subtle?" Sasuke scoffed.

"You sure are talkative today, aren't you, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura questioned.

"Hn," was the simple reply.

An awkward silence enveloped the four and Sakura – being out-going and not fond of silence when it was not needed, decided to break it.

"Sooo..."

"C'mon, we're going training," Sasuke pulled Sakura by the arm and headed the exact opposite way of the training grounds.

"Let's go Neji, all that spying made me hungry!" Tenten smiled, and hauled him off as well.

"Hn," he replied and followed her without being pulled along.

"Well, looks like the 'mission' was successful," a masked figure said from the trees where the four others were just recently occupying. The figure's one visible eye turned back to a book he was holding in his hands. Icha Icha Paradise. That perv.

"Looks like it," this time a red-eyed figure answered. Dark, curly hair soon being flipped back, "I wonder if Naruto will ever realize that we paid Kiba in dog biscuits to do that little stunt..."

"Does that mean we can leave now?" Another one asked, lighting up what seemed like a cigarette and taking a drag.

"YOSH! What youthfulness! We must find someone for my youthful student Lee! Our job is not yet done! For..." And so on. His outfit of green blended into the leaves as he swiftly jumped on the branch he was on..

Oh boy, the other three thought, This is going to be a long day.


End. Fin. Whatever.

EDITEDITEDIT: Okay, okay, last edit, I swear. 'Kays, all you peoples out there that actually read this...there SHALL be a sequel...whenever I feel like writing it :DD (which will probably be some time next year) -kill'd- Though...I need another pairing and I'm trying to decide between NejiTen or SasuSaku cause...those were the other two pairings in this story and I need to...sort of have that for the next x3. I'll try to make NaruHina the main pairing though. It should work... :3 Yeah so, PM me, 'kay/EDIT

Crappy ending I know -sigh- (and almsot even cliche, but can ya blame me? My imagination is close to non-existent and I think summer heat and boredom has fried my brain)
