13 Chapter 13

Hinata was lying on her bed with her finger over the send button on her phone.

To: Namikaze Naruto

'Where are you!?'

Hinata cancelled the message and threw her phone down. She jumped off her bed and stormed down the hall towards the front door.

"What the hell? Where is he?"

She walked out the door and stepped out to look down the street. To her horror she saw Naruto on a bike with some pink haired girl behind him holding onto her shoulders. She followed them with her eyes and she saw that they pulled up to the house next door. Hinata closed her eyes and went back into the house.

Naruto was just finishing up dropping his neighbor off at her home. They both looked embarrassed and looked like they wanted to say something, but Sakura began to walk towards her home.

"Sorry again about that Naruto and thank you for bringing me home. See you tomorrow."

Naruto kicked the dirt. "Tomorrow… Hey Sakura!"

Sakura rotated around to face the blonde.

"Tomorrow do you want to walk with me to school?"

Sakura smiled and nodded. "Hai, see you tomorrow Naruto… -kun…"

Naruto grinned and walked back to his house. He was happy with the day, he met some new people, he managed to get his make-up work together, and he had a pleasant day in general. He opened up the door and saw Hinata standing there with her black rabbit hanging by her side and a scowl on her face.

"You're late."

Naruto nodded and took off his shoes. "I'm sorry. A lot of things happened today at school and I kind of got sidetracked…"

Hinata kept up her glare. "Even though I sent you so many texts…" Then she marched back to her room and slammed the door.

Naruto's eyes widened. He patted his pants pockets, and feeling the emptiness he ran back to the washroom. He pulled his phone out of his old pants and turned it on, flipping through the missed texts, all of which were from Hinata.

'When are you going to be back?'

'Naruto, where are you?'

'Where did you go…'

'Naruto, where are you. This isn't funny.'

He closed his phone and walked off to apologize to his sister. He found her in the kitchen sitting on the floor, thankfully her hunger overpowered her anger.

He dropped to his knees and bent down. "I'm so sorry! I didn't have my phone on me today; I never meant to scare you. Please forgive me."

A tenuous silence then proceeded.

"I thought you ran away."

Naruto looked up with a panicked smile. "What do you mean 'ran away'?"

Hinata looked over her shoulder and Naruto saw her eyes tearing up. "Cause-" Tears began streaming down her face. "I thought I lost you…"

Naruto got up and walked over to her, putting a hand on her shoulder. Hinata turned her head to look at the hand on her shoulder, and she looked up into his eyes as he began kneeling down behind her. She wrapped an arm around his neck, and slowly brought his face closer to her. She slowly closed her eyes as her tongue darted out of her mouth to touch his.

Hinata blinked and saw Naruto back on the other side of the room, still in his position on the ground. He looked up with a confused look.

"What do you mean 'ran away'?"

She turned her head to glare back at the ground.

Naruto chuckled and got up to his feet, and walked over to his sister to ruffle her hair. "Hinata, we're not kids anymore. And I'm not going anywhere."
