At ichiraku's stand on a blissful day,naruto had just slurped down his fifth bowl of ramen.he then paid for his meal and turned back to notice a blushing hinata after hearing a few murmurs.

"hey hinata,what's up?" "h-hello n-naruto i was wondering i-if maybe we could spend time together." "hmm okay i don't have anything else to do today.you wanna go to my place and maybe watch t.v or something?"

Hinata pondered to herself for a while."i w-was thinking if we can go for a walk.i-it's a nice day today." "well if that's what you want then sure we can go for a walk." naruto hopped off the seat and began to walk beside hinata.she turned red due to walking next to her crush.

They both looked at each other a few times and looked away with blushes.hinata looked up at the fox-boy."umm naruto?" "yeah?" "do you r-really like sakura?" naruto smiled widely."if you ask me,i think she's pretty cute.no matter what nice things i do or say,she still goes after sasuke.she doesn't even know how badly i can pound that jerk!"

The hyuuga looked away with a sad expression.she then perked up when a thought came into her head."naruto w-what do you think of me?" the pair turned steaming red."i uh,ahem think you're um kind of better looking than sakura.even though you hide from me most of the time.so yeah i think you're better than sakura."

Hinata stopped in her tracks with widened eyes.how red she turned made her look like a cherry.she then fainted onto the floor because of naruto's words.her last sight was naruto running towards her collapsing body.

She awoke on a bed in a small apartment which smelt of wide varieties of ramen.she looked around to find that she was alone in the faded darkness.hinata curled up in the sheets and started to put on a worried face.

where did naruto go?
