Chapter 11

Naruto was walking towards the Hyuuga estates, enjoying the nice day. But when he was about two blocks away, he was grabbed and dragged into an alley. Naruto quickly entered bijuu mode to try and fight off his attacker. But he was shocked to see it was Anko who had grabbed him.

"Easy naruto calm down!" Anko said slightly worried of what might have happened. Okay so maybe grabbing Naruto and dragging him into an alley wasn't the best idea.

"Oh sorry Anko sensei you scared me." Naruto said as he dropped his bijuu mode.

"Drop the sensei thing kid, just call me Anko." The purple-haired woman said as she released Naruto from her grasp.

"Sure thing Anko," Naruto said with a smile. "So what did you want?"

Hearing this made Anko blush. Wait! Was Naruto seeing things, Anko was actually blushing.

"W-Well I was wondering.." Anko tried to say, but she started to stutter like a shy little girl.

Now Naruto knew something was up, Anko never stuttered.

"Anko what's wrong?" Naruto asked as he put a hand on his shoulder.

Anko looked at Naruto's arm and she seemed to relax.

"I-I heard Tsunade-sama put you in the CRA. I was just outside the window listening in on the conversation," Anko said making Naruto go wide eyed. "And I was wondering if...if you'd give me a chance to be one of your wives. I just want a chance to prove myself to you."

Naruto was shocked to say the least. Anko was on of the last people he'd expect to want to be with him.

"W-Well I don't know." Naruto said as he rubbed the back of his nervously.

"Please, Naruto just give me a chance! One date that's all I'm asking for!" Anko said her eyes pleading, she looked like she was gonna cry.

Naruto looked into her pleading eyes, and he knew he couldn't deny her. He looked at her and his eyes softened.

"Sure thing Anko-chan." Naruto said with a large smile.

Anko was elated that he'd give her a chance, and when she heard him add the -chan to her name her heart beat faster. A few tears of joy escaped her eyes.

"Thank you Naruto!" Anko said happily as she wrapped her arm around him. Naruto was surprised at first, but he did return the hug.

Quickly wiping her tears she looked at Naruto, and almost got lost in his eyes.

"Meet me at my usual dango shop in two days, at 3:00. Don't be late gaki." Anko quickly pecked Naruto on the cheek before she jumped onto the roofs tops.

When she was gone, Naruto leaned against the alley wall and held his rapidly beating heart.

"That woman is seriously crazy, I never know what she's gonna do next," Naruto said as smile graced his lips. "And that's what I love about her."

With that Naruto exited the alley and continued to making his way towards the Hyuuga estates.

After his encounter with Anko, Naruto once again stood in front of the Hyuuga estates main gate. Like last time the guard led him through the halls, but this time he was lead to a different room.

"Hinata-sama is training through those doors." The guard said before he left.

Naruto quietly opened the doors and stepped inside. He quickly spotted Hinata practicing her jyuuken fighting style. Her movements were graceful and elegant, almost as if she was dancing. He watched entranced by her movements. It was then that he noticed Hinata had stopped.

Hinata had stopped her training and was taking a breather. She nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard someone clapping behind her. She spun around and saw her long time crush standing there. There was only one reason he would be here, so soon. He had received his answer from Sakura, and he was here to tell her what she had said.

"O-Oh h-hello Naruto-kun." Hinata said as Naruto started to walk towards her.

"Hi Hinata-chan, you were amazing out there. You looked so graceful, and at the same time so deadly." Naruto said with a big grin making Hinata blush bright red.

"I'm guessing Sakura-san gave you her answer." Hinata said the anticipation killing her.

"Yeah, she did." Naruto said as he took a deep breath.

"Oh no, why is he taking a breath. No it must be, because she said no!" Hinata thought as tears threatened to fall from her eyes.

But to her utter and complete shock Naruto cupped her chin and kissed her. All thoughts left Hinata's mind as she quickly returned to kiss and fought desperately to not faint. After the best few moments of her life, Hinata felt Naruto break their kiss.

"She said yes." Naruto said as he ran his fingers through Hinata's long hair.

Hinata was overjoyed when she heard this. She now had a chance to always be their for

for Naruto, and she would not blow this chance.

"You know Hinata I've wanted to do that for a while." Naruto said as he leaned his forehead against hers.

"R-Really?" She asked surprised.

"Yeah ever since you stood up to Pein you've had a special place in my heart." Naruto said with a smile.

"Oh Naruto-kun!" Hinata yelled as she kissed him again.

This time the kiss was much more intense. She felt him lick her bottom lip, getting the hint she opened her mouth. Instantly Naruto's tongue was wrestling with hers. Hinata was in heaven as they kissed, his lips felt perfect on hers.

Naruto wanted to continue, he wanted to take Hinata to her room and show her the love she deserved. But now was not the time, he liked Hinata a lot but he needed to get to know her better her first. He broke the kiss much to Hinata's disapproval.

"Hinata-chan I'm gonna take you out tomorrow, and we're gonna go on a date," Naruto said earning a happy squeak form Hinata. "I'll pick you up here, at 7:00 tomorrow."

Hinata just dumbly nodded. It was all she could manage as her mind processed all amazing things that had just happened to her.

"I'll see you tomorrow Hinata-chan." Naruto said as he gave Hinata a kiss on the cheek before he walked out of the room.

As soon as Naruto left the room Hinata passed out with a smile plastered on her face.

Sakura sat at a small tea shop with Ino. Sakura's morning had been a living hell. Karin was smart and picked things up fast, but Kami could she get on her nerves. And Sakura knew that Karin had told a few people about what happened between her and Naruto. Because she had been getting strange looks from some of the nurses and doctors.

"Stupid Karin, I told her to keep her mouth shut! I'll make her pay for squealing later!" Sakura thought angrily as she sipped her tea.

Then there was Ino. She had been acting weird all day. Every time Sakura saw her, she had this distant look in her eyes. Much like she had now. It looked as if she was thinking about something important. Getting fed up she decided to find out what was going on.

"Ino-pig what's up?" Sakura asked snapping Ino out of her daze.

"Huh, oh nothing Forehead." Ino said as she took a sip from her tea.

"You're a horrible liar pig, now talk to me." Sakura said as she place her hand on Ino's.

Ino looked down at her hand and sighed.

"There's something I wanted to ask you." Ino said as she looked Sakura in the eyes.

"Sure Ino anything." Sakura said dropping the -pig from her name, seeing how serious she was being.

"I-I heard Tsunade-sama placed Naruto in the CRA," Ino said causing Sakura to go wide eyed, she almost chocked on the tea in her mouth. "A-And I wanted to ask you if I could have a chance to be one of Naruto's wives."

Sakura was shocked to say the least. She certainly wasn't expecting that. But Sakura's eyes narrowed, as she looked at Ino. Now Ino wasn't a slut, but she seemed to be interested in a new guy every week. Sakura didn't want Naruto to get into a relationship with Ino, only for her to move on to another guy.

"Why?" Sakura asked more harshly than she intended.

"W-What do you mean?" Ino asked surprised by Sakura's response.

"Why do you want to be with Naruto. Ino I've seen you jump from guy to guy, and I don't want Naruto to be just a fling for you." Sakura said as she sipped her tea.

"Trust me Sakura, Naruto won't be just a fling." Ino said with a dry chuckle.

"Why?" Sakura asked her eyes narrowing.

"Because...because ever since he saved the village from Pein, I get this tingling feeling in the pit of my stomach every time I'm around him," Ino said as her mind started to drift to thoughts of Naruto. "I joked that I could fall for him back then, but after he held me and comforted me after the war I've had this deep longing for him. Then after he brought back my father I wanted to do everything in my power to make up for all the shit I've put him through. I want to make him happy, like the way he makes me happy."

Sakura was almost in tears as she listened to Ino explain her feelings for Naruto. When Ino was finished Sakura once again place her hand on top of Ino's.

"Of course you can be one of Naruto's wives. There's no one else I'd rather share him with." Sakura said with a smile.

"Thank you forehead!" Ino said as she leaned across the table and hugged Sakura.

Sakura quickly hugged her best friend back. When Ino sat back in her seat, she seemed much happier and back to her old self. Soon they were both laughing and arguing like usual.

After lunch they both went their separate ways. Sakura had to finish her shift at the hospital, and continue teaching Karin. Ino had finished her shift at the hospital and was on her way towards her family flower shop. All along the way she was in deep thought, she had a date to plan.
