Hi guys! This is Naru-sempai! I'm so sorry but Kato-chan is unavailable for today and for the following days...

Anyways, no need to be sad! I have a new story for you! On behalf of Kato-chan, please treat this story well...

The Disclaimer is here!

Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. And I am just a co-writer. The plot belongs to Kato Shuuya.

CHAPTER 1- Wishes and Jealousies

Naruto walked the dusty streets alone, not because it was a pastime of his,

but because he was really, really, really, really bored out of his mind. I mean, sure he had lots of friends,

and no, he was not the loner type of person, but this was another one of those days when everyone

but him was busy with everything.

Sakura was off doing stuff with Tsunade, and Sasuke...

was dating Hinata.

Naruto's dear, dear Hinata.

He shook off that feeling. Naruto felt that he should feel happy for Sasuke, not only because that

was what best friends do for each other and all, but...sometimes, it just pissed him off,

seeing Sasuke and Hinata acting all lovey-dovey in front of him.

Wait, was the great Naruto Uzumaki...

JEALOUS?

'No... no, no, no. I am NOT jealous!' Naruto thought, shaking off that feeling that came whenever he

imagined the idea of Sasuke and Hinata together. He sighed, thinking, 'Damn. I guess I should be

lucky I'm still close friends with Hinata...'

Lucky? Naruto should consider himself very, very blessed because Sasuke had let him get that close

to Hinata! Any other guy who'd tried so much as to just stand right beside Hinata would be beaten

into pulp by Sasuke almost immediately.

Naruto had willed himself not to think about Hinata and Sasuke. He tried to think about his life instead.

It was going great, not thinking about Sasuke and Hinata, but, like a wise person used to say, 'All good

things have come to an end...'

"Hey! Naruto! Over here!" a familiar voice rang out, and soon enough he was met with the sight of

Sasuke and Hinata, no doubt in a middle of a date or a romantic walk or something.

"Hey Sasuke! Hey Hinata!" Naruto greeted them with false cheeriness. He didn't expect to see

them there, much less see them WAY into each other.

Hinata smiled "Hi Naruto! We saw you walking by and couldn't resist!" Naruto grinned, and

asked, "So, what are you doing here? Romantic walk?"

Sasuke laughed, and said, "No, no... Hinata needs to go home early, so I'm walking her home!"

Hinata nodded in agreement, and said, "Yeah, well... I'm so sorry we can't stay long..."

Sasuke smiled nervously, while he gently pulled Hinata away, saying, "We're really, really sorry Naruto!"

and ran off with Hinata.

"See you, Naru dear!" Hinata shouted over her shoulder.

Naru dear. She called him 'Naru dear.'

Naruto wonders if he should let it mean anything.

After they were long, long gone, Naruto sighed, and wondered, 'Oh Hinata... Why can't we be more than just friends?'

"This was the very first page,

not where our storyline ends,

My thoughts will echo your name,

until I see you again,

These are the words I held back,

as I was leaving too soon,

'I was enchanted to meet you...'"
