Temjin Lee Ah crap! I completely forgot! *GROANS!* Agh! So did I! Everyone: Man, it's hard for me to figure out which one I like the best. I like all of them, in their own way. I may write one another time, but I don't think I could keep it in the word limit. Maybe I'll just post one as a normal fanfic. confused

:. THIRD PLACE .:
Chibi_Naru-chan Quote: A/N: Originally, this short fic is part of a larger fic that had been lolling in my mind for a while. It doesn’t say in this story, but beforehand, Hinata had noticed Naruto acting a bit strangely around her. Hinata being Hinata, she knew something was wrong and decided to intervene. That’s pretty much where the fic starts. Hinata's also a smidge more outgoing than she used to be. After hanging out with Naruto all the time, wouldn't you be?
---
She kneeled and wrapped her delicate, silken arms around his shoulders from behind. They crossed and her hands met at his chest, fingers interwoven. She hugged him and leaned towards his neck, whispering softly into his ear, “Don’t cry.”
A wild chill ran down his spine as the uncharacteristic firmness of Hinata’s small voice resonated within him. He remained stagnant and relinquished within the touch of his girlfriend of two months. His voice chimed quietly while still retaining his voice’s medium tone. “I’m not, Hinata.”
He had dropped the “-chan” long ago. She had asked him to.
“I know.” The black-haired girl sighed through her nose. The blond boy had missed her failed attempt at subtle sarcasm. “You rarely do.”
She buried her nose in the slight curve of his neck and breathed his musky scent. Her arms tightened protectively, comfortable with the way they fit together. He was firm, thin and stiff; her arms were long, tender and elegant. She could wrap those arms around him so easily and hug him close. Hinata briefly noted how warm his body was against her own, a loved comfort in the winter she had grown to adore.
Naruto grabbed a bit of Hinata’s beautiful long black hair and nuzzled it with his nose, breathing the shampooed scent of strawberry vanilla. Hinata’s wrapped arms lowered and repositioned themselves around his abdomen. He laid his own sun-tanned hand on top of hers.
He sighed. “I don’t have to cry. I mean, I don’t have a reason to.”
“But,” Hinata shifted a bit. “Naruto, if you keep your feelings inside, doesn’t that make you feel worse? Wouldn’t you rather at least talk to me? You know I’ll never make fun of your problems, I’ll never laugh at you…”
“I know you won’t, Hinata. I know.” Naruto replied. He licked his lips nervously. “I just… can’t, you know? It frustrates me, too. Believe me.”
Hinata rested her head upon his back and sighed through her nose again. “I’m always here for you, I’ve told you that countless times. I’m just waiting for the day when you finally open up to me. I just… I have this feeling that I don’t know you. I-I mean, I know you, but not all of you. Is there something you’re hiding from me? Are you afraid it will affect our relationship?”
Naruto kept his mouth shut and his bright blue eyes looked up towards the ceiling. Slowly, he closed his eyes and a grin graced his features. “How do you do that?”
Pink-tinted naturally full lips formed a knowing smile. “You think you’re unreadable, Uzumaki. But to me, you’re an open book. It’s just sort of hard to flip the pages and get further into the story.”
The blond boy laughed. “I guess you’re right. You got me.”
“Knew I would eventually.” Hinata hugged him again.
In his peripheral vision, Naruto glanced out his window. “Hey, the rain finally stopped. Wanna go for a walk? Jump in a few puddles?”
Hinata smiled and unwrapped her arms from around his stomach. Both of them stood. Naruto turned around with a grin, grabbed Hinata’s hands, and bent forward to giver her a quick kiss on the lips. After the small kiss, he grabbed his jacket that had been cast aside on his couch. He also grabbed Hinata’s, and threw it onto her head.
“Naruto,” she muttered, snatching the jacket off her head and putting it on.
Konoha was breathtaking after a calm spring shower. It thrived on the rain and brought forth beautiful roses and violets, and a gorgeous blue sky only sparsely clouded. The grass and foliage brightened with lush green hues and flowering buds on trees. The first thing Naruto noticed when the sun hit his face was the rainbow that had formed in the sky due to the mixture of sunlight and rain.
“Hey, check that out,” Naruto pointed to the rainbow and wrapped an arm around Hinata’s shoulders. “Isn’t it pretty?”
“Of course, it’s beautiful,” Hinata replied, leaning into Naruto’s side. She looked up at him with absolute admiration, loving the way the sun made his bright hair and eyes shine. He looked so happy.
The two walked hand-in-hand down the roads of Konoha, Naruto swinging their arms back and forth a bit. And, as he had promised, Naruto couldn’t resist stepping in a few puddles along the way. One of which accidentally sprayed Hinata slightly.
She shouted a bit, shaking the tiny water droplets off of her pants. Hinata lowered her eyes at Naruto and grinned evilly. “Such a gentleman.”
“Always,” Naruto replied. He chuckled and wiped Hinata’s pant leg off quickly with his hand. “I’m sorry, Hina. That was totally an accident, I swear!”
“Was it, now?” Hinata added, a tint of mischief lingering in her usual calm, steady voice. “I’m not so sure, myself.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? Hinata, you sound positively evil…”
Hinata smiled. “Absolutely!”
Before another word escaped Naruto’s lips, Hinata emitted a loud cry and he was already completely soaked. Hinata had quickly flipped him into a large puddle that had settled deeply within the dirt streets. The girl couldn’t help but laugh at the adorable expression on Naruto’s whiskered face. His eyes were widened in shock and his jaw dropped.
“Hinata!” he cried mockingly. The said girl giggled. “I can’t believe you just flipped your boyfriend into a puddle! How rude and very unlike you!”
Before she knew it, Hinata was now beside Naruto, splashing in the puddle along with him. The two splashed each other and played in the water like innocent children. After a short tussle, Naruto grabbed Hinata by the hands and kissed her again, longer.
Strolling by, silently enjoying the light of day, Shikamaru paused and glared at the sight before him. He sighed audibly. “I swear. I’ll never understand you two.”
Both teens heard their undeniably mature friend’s comment, but only giggled and continued their innocent kiss. After all, they day was young, and so were they. :. SECOND PLACE .:
+[Kamy-chan]+ Quote: "The Confession"...Around 670 words.
Just past a large cliff stood the most powerful village in all the land, Konohagakure No Sato, via, the village, hidden among the leaves. This village, that lays in the heart of the fire country, was full of everything, from common people, to merchants, to restaurant owners, all the way to great shinobi, young and old.
Many are known here, throughout the village, and some the world, such as the great clans, like the Hyuuga, Uchiha, Inuzuka, and others. The largest clan there is the Hyuuga clan, and this is a small tale for the young female shinobi that is the clan leader’s daughter.
---------------------------------------------------
Light footsteps would gently touch the rough wooden floor as a long, dark blue haired female with stunning, pale lavender hues, would softly make her way around the place she called home, the Hyuugan complex. She was making her way around the room, dressed in only the simple clothing she wore under her normal cloths. She slipped on her white and light purple jacket, and sighed, before slipping her shinobi sandals on. She counted out her door and soared across the air, springing above and out of the area, with a glance from her father…
As the Hyuugan female, dubbed Hinata, made her way across the village, she stoped, near a raman stall, and looked. She had not eaten….She sighed, and steped over, walking to the entrance, just then, as she lifted the vail that covered the entrance, there was a very, very familiar face. Oh, it was of course, Uzumaki Naruto!
The yellow haired male turned, looking at Hinata, before slerping up a mouthful of raman, and eating it. He smiled at her. “Hello Hinata-chan!” he bellowed.
A light hint met Hinata’s cheeks, of a light pink color. She nodded slightly. “H-hello, Naruto-kun…”She said, slowly stepping over and freezing.
He patted the seat next to himself. And smiled brightly at her, of such a well known smile.
Her blush intensified and she slowly, sat down where he had patted , her eyes glancing to Naruto for only a moment before shooting down onto the counter in front of herself. Suddenly her slight time of thought was inturuped and the old man put his hand onto the counter.
“What will you have, Hinata-chan?” the man asked.
She jumped a bit and looked up. “J-just…The normal.” She said.
Naruto sprang up, looking at the man .”I’ll pay for her meal! ”He called.
Hinata blushed more and looked at Naruto, shaking her head, but he protested and slammed down what little money he had.
Hinata sighed and looked forward, unable to argue with the male…She secretly held so dear.
After about 45 minutes, Naruto, and Hinata, left together, Hinata keeping her head low and hands together, Naruto with his hands behind his head.
“That was so good! Did you like your raman, Hinata-chan?” asked Naruto, smiling over at Hinata.
She nodded slightly, glancing at the young yellow haired one. She then looked ahead, as did Naruto, and there was a park. Naruto suddenly grabbed Hinata’s hand and ran, dragging her behind himself. “Come on!” He cried.
She blushed deeply as she noticed her hand was being held by Naruto’s. He dragged the female into the park, and over near a lake. Off in the distance was the old Uchiha compound, obviously abanden after many years. (it’s the lake Sasuke used his fire jutsu over.)
He sat down on the side of the lake, then laid back, smiling. The sun was setting. “Hinata, lay with me,” said Naruto.
Hinata hastily sat next to him, and looked over the lake, head down a little…
Naruto rose from his laying position and looked at Hinata. Slowly he scooted closer to her, his face a little more serous then before. He leaned over, and wrapped his arms around her, from the side a bit, from the back a bit, diagonal.
Hinata blushed really deeply and looked at Naruto’s hands.
“Hinata….I want to tell you something…”He said, voice a little softer then normal….His cheeks, now almost matching Hinata’s…. :. FIRST PLACE .:
[-Hinata_Hyuuga-] Quote: Hinata walked slowly through the grass filled path, admiring what was around her. It was a park for tourists and others to admire, and a haven to escape the harsh life of a ninja, but it only did this in a certain season. “Spring…Really is beautiful…” She thought to herself. She found a nice, soft patch of grass and laid herself down on it. With the warm sunlight on her skin, and the sense of peace she soon drifted off to sleep. She didn’t notice when a certain ninja in an orange clad jumpsuit sat beside her. Really, how could she with her eyes closed?
************************
Naruto noticed Hinata was lying there, but she was the only one he knew out of the crowd of others, so he ran over to her. At first he didn’t notice she was asleep and was about to scream out a greeting, but fortunately he observed her sleeping figure before he did that. She had her arms in front of her, as if protecting herself, and her mouth slightly open. Her legs were also brought up close to herself, and she seemed to be at peace. Naruto, for a reason he did not know, couldn’t stop staring at her sleeping state. He waited there, waiting for her to wake up.
***********************
She opened her eyelids slowly only to find two cerulean orbs staring back at her. She quickly shot up causing her and the owner of these ‘orbs’ to knock heads. “Ack! Etete…Hey, Hinata…” Hinata held her head in pain but quickly saw Naruto in the same pose. “Ah! Naruto-kun, are you all right?? I’m really sorry!” A grin spread across Naruto’s face and he held his hand up in protest, “Heh, I’m all right Hinata. So, you still worrying about me? Still the same Hinata I know!” He laughed at this but saw Hinata a little discomforted. “Oh wait…that’s right! She wanted to change…Gah Baka!” He held up his hands apologetically and stammered out, “N-Not that that’s a bad thing! I really like this Hinata, ‘tte bayo!” He grinned with his eyes closed as if trying to reassure this claim. He opened his eyes to a very red Hinata. “Hey…Hinata? Are you okay?”
Hinata stared at him for awhile, thoughts rushing through her mind, “He…likes me like this? No, he said…r-really likes me like this…” Soon she was brought back to earth, but her tone…unfortunately…was still red. She stopped staring at him and said, “Thank you Naruto-kun….You know….You tease me about worrying about you a lot…but…In a way…Y-you worry about me too.” Naruto scratched the back of his head nervously, “Well, that’s because you’re my friend Hinata! I always protect my friends!” She nodded, smiling. After some silence Hinata brought up enough courage to ask, “Naruto-kun…Why did you decide to come here?” Naruto looked at her for a second and replied, “The same reason as you! Isn’t it awesome??” With this he stood up and spread his arms wide. Hinata stared at Naruto with a smile on her face. “It really is….but, that wasn’t exactly what I was asking…I meant, why did you come sit by me?” Naruto looked a little embarrassed at his misinterpretation, “Oh, well, why wouldn’t I? You’re my only friend here…And, I wouldn’t miss a chance to talk to you again. I haven’t talked to you since the Chuunin Exams.” Hinata blushed at this comment, “I-I missed…talking to you too, N-Naruto-kun….” Naruto was slightly surprised at this and scratched the back of his head, “Hey, Hinata, let’s talk more from now on…I don’t know why, but I feel really comfortable when I talk to you. You were the first one that I told that I acted tough…But, I don’t think that anymore…Ever since that day, I’ve been thinking of myself as a proud failure. You’re one too Hinata, you just need a little push sometimes.” He smiled softly as her face went deeper shades of red. He got up and said, “Hinata, meet me at Ichiraku at noon…I wanna talk but, I’m getting hungry…” Hinata smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to turn away and run he said, “You know Hinata….You’re really cute when you sleep.” This left Hinata very red, and confused. “He thinks…I-I’m cute?!”
**********************
Naruto, while running away, was also confused. “Why did I say that?? I mean…It just came out…She really was cute though, the hair perfectly framing her face…” Naruto stopped this thought and hit himself on the head. “Why is my heart pounding right now? I mean…I’ve never called a girl cute before…So, maybe It’s just because of that…But, just thinking about Hinata…I…might be starting to understand her…In ways, she is a lot like me…Why haven’t I noticed it before? Maybe talking to her will do me some good, because I think she understands me too."
***********************
At Ichiraku, after they had met up with eachother and were eating, Hinata managed to ask a question, “Ano…N-Naruto-kun…Why do you…want to talk to..me? I mean…I’m not that special…” Naruto coughed up some beef ramen and shouted, “That’s not true Hinata! You are special! Everyone is! I mean…Why wouldn’t I want to talk to you?” He sat there, not touching his ramen, obviously waiting for an answer. Hinata blinked in surprise at the sudden outburst. “Because…I’m not…Sakur-” This was a far as Hinata got because Naruto said, “Just because you aren’t Sakura-chan doesn’t mean I don’t like you. Sakura-chan is fun to talk to, but she hits me a lot…While, Hinata-chan, you listen. You wait patiently for me to finish whatever I’m yelling about. Except once…And, I want to say thanks for that one time…Because if you didn’t, I don’t think I would’ve beaten Neji.” Naruto then smiled at a red Hinata. “Naruto-kun, I l-love to listen to you talk…Because most of the time…It inspires me to do better. And, I’m glad I could’ve done the same for you…Naruto-kun.” Naruto blushed a little at this too, and Hinata and Naruto thought the same thing, “We aren’t so different…Someone looking in might think we are…but we aren’t...So, then why am I barely realizing it?” After some time Naruto broke the silence, “Hey…Hinata…Do you think you…you understand me?” Hinata hesitated and said, “I-I think I do Naruto-kun…but, I don’t know.” Off the bat Naruto asked, “Tell me what you think, I want to be the one to listen.” Hinata had never seen this side of Naruto before and was taken aback, “I think…you, Naruto-kun, are trying to be accepted. And, by being Hokage…you will get that acceptance. But, Naruto-kun, so many people acknowledge you…including me.” Naruto smiled, “Hinata, you do. You really do. And, I’m glad you acknowledge me. Hinata, you want acceptance too right?” Surprised he noticed Hinata nodded slowly. “So, I want to tell you that, ever since you put your all into your fight against Neji, I’ve acknowledged you too! You were really incredible Hinata!” Hinata blushed and tears began to form in her eyes. Naruto was surprised and asked cautiously, “Hinata, are you…alright?” Hinata nodded and smiled, “Yes, it’s just because…I used to feel like there was a hole in my life, from not being acknowledged. And now that you’ve said that…I’m really happy Naruto-kun! Thank you so much!” She unconsciously launched herself into a hug across her seat onto him. He sat there surprised and he hugged her back, friendlily. “It’s okay Hinata. I’ll fill that acceptance hole for you right now, like you’ve done for me. Just don’t cry anymore…it’s making me sad. Okay?” Hinata, who had found out that they were in an embrace, now blushed into a strawberry red shade and said, “O-Okay, Naruto-kun…” They let go after awhile and Hinata at the moment was thinking, “Will this lead us somewhere…?” But, she was unaware that…Naruto was thinking the same thing.
