Notes: “Speech”
       ‘Thoughts’

       [Radio]
       (Location/Time Change)

             Are We Growing Up Or Just Going Down
             It’s Just A Matter Of Time Until We’re All Found Out
             Take Our Tears And Put Them On Ice
             I Swear I’d Burn This City Down To Show You The Light
                       -Fall Out Boy

Naruto: “HINA-CHAN?!”
Hinata: “NARU-KUN?!”

The entire class turned to stare at the two who screamed. Both Naruto and Hinata just stared in amazement. Neither of them could believe what they were seeing. Sure the it has been nine years since they had last scene each other, and they had both grown immensely over time, but they immediately recognized each other. Both of them had a huge blush on their faces. The whole class, especially the girls, couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Naruto, probably the most popular and hard to get guy, was blushing at a new student.

Mizuho: “Oh! So the two of you already know each other?” she was the first one to compose from the surprise. The two of them turned to her, their faces still red. “Then I guess that this gives you a more reason to show her around Uzumaki-kun.”

Naruto: “Yeah, I guess it does,” he was nervously scratching the back of his head while he put on his same stupid grin. From what Gaara had told him before class started, he was sure that Hinata was probably receiving a few glare or looks of jealousy.

Hinata could feel them, the glares from a few of the other girls in the classroom. She even felt the looks of jealousy she was receiving. Luckily none of them fazed her because of all the training she received while she was away. But she still felt uncomfortable receiving them during class. At least she was happy to see him again, after all the time she was away.

- - - -(Lunchtime on the roof/Naruto’s hangout)- - - -

Naruto and his friends were eating lunch on the roof, but with an extra person joining them. It didn’t surprise the guys that he had invited Hinata to join them for lunch. Of course there were a few girls that were hiding behind the door watching her with either jealousy or hatred. But other than that, they were happily eating lunch and swapping stories.

Naruto: “So when did you get back Hinata? I thought I wasn’t going to see you again.” He had his mouth full of food but they all understood exactly what he said.

Hinata: “My father sent me north to live with an old friend of his to help me with my studies.” This was an obvious lie and she knew it, but what she didn’t know was that Naruto could tell that she had lied. He decided to ask her why she lied later when they were alone.

Shikamaru: “Wow, you must have had really bad grades for your father to send to up north, must’ve been troublesome.” He yawned at the end.

Hinata: “Not really. She was real nice to me, and she helped me even more with my studies since she was a college professor. I think I got a picture with me,” she rummaged through her pockets and pulled out a picture of a small girl that had a small yellow kimono and a young woman that had a deep blue kimono, “I’m the girl with the yellow kimono, back when I was eleven, and that’s my dad’s friend, Kurenai.”

The guys were all admiring how cute she looked in the kimono, which caused her to blush slightly. Naruto, however, felt like he knew the woman from somewhere. He knew for a fact that’d he’d seen her, but where? He was in such a deep thought that he never noticed the guys getting up to get some more food, since Chouji was there and had a very large appetite. The guys saw the girls that were at the door and shooed them away.

Chouji: “You think it’s a good idea to leave those two alone?”

Sasuke: “I could easily tell that Fox obviously has something for the girl.”

Gaara: “How can you tell?” the rest of the guys were thinking the exact same thing.

Sasuke: “The look on his face when he first saw her, the blush he’s had on his face, and the fact that he’s been dreaming about her for the past few weeks.”

Shikamaru: “So that’s the girl from his dream. I gotta say, Naruto sure has his hands full now.”

Chouji: “What’d you mean Shadow?” confusion evident in his voice.

Shikamaru: “I’m saying that women can be a real drag sometimes, they’ve got men easily wrapped around their finger. If they wanted to, women could easily take over the entire planet in a heartbeat. It is sooo troublesome.” At this exact moment, a girl flung herself over his back.

Temari: “And just what is so ‘troublesome’ this time Shika?”

Shikamaru: “Nothing,” ‘*sigh* this is gonna be a long day.

- - - - -(on the roof)- - - - -

Naruto was still in thought and it looked like he’d be in thought for a while. It wasn’t until Hinata snapped him out of his trail of thought that he noticed that they were alone.

Hinata: “Something wrong Naru-kun?” she had a worried look on her face.

Naruto: “Oh nothing, just reminiscing.”

Hinata: “About what?” she sat next to him, with their elbows nearly touching, giving Naruto a good look on just how much she had grown.

Naruto: “Well, it has been nine years since we both saw each other,” he had a huge blush on his face as he began to scratch his head, “and we both have grown.”

Hinata: “What do you mean?” she had a blush on her face, ‘Wait, why am I blushing, I haven’t done anything.’

Naruto: ‘Argh, that’s it, I’m just gonna say it!’ “Hinata, you know, I think that you’re really hot, right?” he mentally kicked himself, ‘what did I just say?’

Hinata: ‘the feelings mutual’ She had a deep blush when he said that, “You’ve grown too, and,” she nervously put her fingers together, “my feelings for you have also grown.”

Naruto just sat there wide eyed and shocked when she said this. He knew she had feelings for him when they were young, but he’d thought that she had all but forgotten about him after she left.

Naruto: “You mean, that after all this time apart…”

Hinata: “Uh-huh, my feelings for you kept growing. Even now, I know for a fact that I’m deeply in love with you.” She had a strong blush on her face as she looked into his eyes. He slowly closed the distance between the two of them.

Naruto: “So, I wasn’t the only one who felt the same” he put his arm around her pulling her closer. “It took me up ‘til now to figure out how I felt about you.” He was looking back into her lavender eyes. “I finally understand all the dreams I’ve had.”

Hinata: “What dreams?” she felt as though he had been having the same dreams as she’s had.

Naruto: “For quite some time, I’ve been having the same dream of the girl I had lots of fun with at the park.” He pulled her into an embrace. “And I’ve realized, that I was in love with the girl, and now I know that the same girl feels the same about me.”

He then pulled her closer to him, and their lips met. They both felt the others lips, and went straight to cloud nine. They could’ve stayed in that kiss for hours, but unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. As they both heard footsteps coming closer to them. They broke the kiss and saw the guys stopping in surprise over what they had just witnessed. Behind them they heard a few girls sounds of disappointment and jealousy.

Naruto: “Uh, ehehehe, hey guys,” he had a huge blush on his face as his friends stood there. None of them were able to believe what they had just seen. “Uh, guys, what wrong?”

Gaara: “What’s wrong is that we just saw you kissing a girl.” He appeared to be the only one that wasn’t in shock.

Sasuke: “How the hell did you manage to get the new girl to be your first?”

Hinata: “His first?” she was surprised, “you mean, there haven’t been any others besides me?” she had asked Naruto.

Naruto: “It didn’t feel right if I went out with another girl. When I would think about how it’d be like if I went out with another girl, I’d always end up the same.” He turned to look at her. “Always with the girl with beautiful lavender eyes.”

Hinata felt all the blood rush to her head to make her blush the strongest she’s ever had. He held her tighter in his arms. She put her arms around him and went up for another kiss. A quick one this time, but it was one that meant a lot to the both of them.

- - - -(After school)- - - -

Naruto: “Are you sure that I cant walk you home, I mean, it’s no problem for me.”

Hinata: “No that’s okay. I have to wait for my cousin anyways.”

Naruto: “*sigh* fine, but I want to meat your family at one point, ‘kay?”

Hinata: “Sure thing, see ya tomorrow!”

She saw him leave and turn the corner. She began to walk in the opposite direction and turn, what she didn’t know, was that Naruto was following closely behind her. She walked for blocks before turning the corner. Naruto stopped at the corner and took a peak. And there was Hinata, stepping into a black car that appeared to be guarded by two men in suits.

Naruto: ‘Just what are you hiding from us, Hinata?’ After the car drove away he resumed his trip home. He was thinking of asking her but thought otherwise in case she didn’t want him to know. So he decided to wait and keep a close eye on her.

- - - - -(Hyuga Compound)- - - - -

Hinata was up in her room on cloud nine. After a long time, this was the happiest she had ever felt. She had finally gotten the boy she was in love with since she was little.

Hanabi: “Uh, Hinata, why the sudden cloud nine voyage?” she had just stepped into her sisters room to find her daydreaming.

Hinata: “I’ll tell you if you promise not to tell father, okay?”

Hanabi: “This must either be really good or really bad. But I won’t tell father.” She walked in and closed the door.

Hinata: “Well you remember the dream I told you about?”

Hanabi: “You mean the one about the cute boy from when you were little? Yeah, I remember.”

Hinata: “Well I met him today,” her sister squealed as she took a seat on her sister’s bed wanting to hear details, “And he has gotten so hot. We talked and he confessed that he had feelings for me since we were little.”

Hanabi: “Aw, c’mon sis, I want more details than that.”

They talked for a long time over what had happened throughout their day. They talked until it was time for bed. Hinata was happily dreaming of the boy again, but now, the boy had changed and was now the boy she had finally confessed her feelings to.

- - -(Naruto’s Place)- - -

He had just finished his evening workout and his usual rituals before he got to bed. His body was tired like it always was before bed, but his mind was racing over what he after school. He felt that Hinata was definitely hiding something big when she had lied to him and his friends, but just what was she hiding from him.

Naruto: “I guess I’m not the only one with secrets, eh Ryu?” he put his hand on his head, almost as though he was in deep thought.

Ryu: the bodiless voice responded.

Naruto: “Right, good night then. But I’m still gonna keep an eye on her. I want to know who those men are and what Hinata has to do with them.” He let out one big yawn before dozing off.

- - - - -(Several Days Later/At School)- - - - -

Shikamaru: “Hey did you guys hear the rumors going around?” It was after school as the guys were getting their stuff at the lockers.

Sasuke: “And just what would that rumor be?”

Shikamaru: “Apparently, some yakuza thugs were seen in the area.” He was telling tem all in whisper. “My guess is that someone hired them for protection, but,” the others got closer to show that they wanted to hear the rest, “my guess is that some student is being watched.”

Gaara: “I think I recall seeing a car after I dropped off Matsuri from school a few days ago.” He was in seep thought.

Naruto: “Why were you dropping your girlfriend off from school?”

Gaara: “It was when she sprained her ankle during P.E., anyways, whoever they were, they were definitely connected. I’m not sure, but I think I saw the Hyuga symbol on it.”

This brought up more suspicion from Naruto about the car that had been picking up Hinata. They all left the school in their separate ways, and Naruto, just like he’d been doing for a while now followed his girlfriend. He stopped at the corner where she from where she was always picked up. He got on his knee to see of he could get a better look from lower point of view. And that was when he saw it, the symbol of the Hyuga clan.

Naruto: ‘What the hell is Hinata Hoshikawa doing with the men from a yakuza clan?’ he was about to step closer when he felt something being held to the back of his head.
(A/N: Forgot to mention that Hinata was using her mother’s maiden name while out in public XD)

Neji: “Get up.” Naruto got up from his knees, “Walk.” He obeyed and began to where he was being pushed by the gunman.

Hinata: “*gasp* Neji! What are you doing?!” she was stunned to see the man holding a gun to Naruto’s back as he pushed him into the car.

Neji: “This idiot was following you, we’re taking him back for questioning.” He knew that she would be upset with this but shook it away. After all, the kid looked suspicious, following he everywhere. Unknowingly to them, someone had seen the whole scene from the shadows.

- - - - -(Unknown Location)- - - - -

???: “Where the hell is he?”

???: “I don’t know. He was supposed to be here five minutes ago.”

???: “You think he ran off?”

???: “I doubt it. He’s been looking forward to this for years, and there no way that…”

???: [Come in, can anyone read me?]

Jiraiya: “Jiraiya here, what is it Kakashi?”

Kakashi: [I just spotted him being forced into a car. I’m currently tailing them.]

Jiraiya: “Good, I’ll inform the head.”

Kakashi: [I’ll keep in touch.] *click*

Jiraiya: “Itachi, go inform the head of the current situation! Kisame, gather some men to act as escorts.”

Itachi: “HAI!”
Kisame: “HAI!”

The two men ran off down the walkway towards the large household.

Jiraiya: ‘That idiot, always causing trouble. Damn it all!’

Hinata: “Why did you have to follow me?” she had tears in her eyes as she looked at his beaten and bruised face.

Naruto: “How can I understand why you lied to me? When you don’t trust me?” He had tears in his eyes.
