Twenty

20 More Questions

Hinata had been in search of someone to eat lunch with. In her search, she came up with just about a handful. None of her usual friends though.

"Where is everyone?"

Just as she reached the training grounds, she heard a loud and confusing statement.

"I LOOK FINE IN ORANGE!!"

N-naruto-kun.

She thought sheepishly.

Following the voice, she came face to face with just about all of her friends.

"Whats going on?"

She asked in her weak soft voice.

Neji looked up sheepishly and smiled weakly to Hinata.

"Uhrm...No reason Hina-chan...we...we...."

Neji was cut off by Naruto.

"Hinata! Let's go on a walk!"

She nodded slightly confused. Lately, she'd been getting more and more attention from him. Ever since the day they played 20 questions and he thought she liked Shikamaru. Everytime he saw her now, he tried to convince her to work up the nerve to talk to Shikamaru. Hinata had no desire to do so. But Naruto kept setting up these would be dates. Shikamaru tried to convince Hinata to tell Naruto the truth, but kept coming on these "troublesome" dates.

Everyone couldnt help but pity the poor Hyuga girl.

"S-sure Naruto-kun."

He quickly grabbed her hand and led her off from her friends. Her face was burning a vibrant red color. This was the first time Naruto had done this!

"Hinata. Remember that day we played 20 questions?"

She nodded and realized he was staring at his feet so she weakly said yes.

He smirked.

"Do you really like Shikamaru?"

Hinata giggled. His voice sounded, dare she think it, jealous.

"No Naruto-kun. I dont like him. Its someone else I like."

She said the whole sentence without stuttering. It took both of them by surprise. Naruto smiled happily at her.

"Let's play 20 more questions Hina-chan!"

She smiled and nodded.

"What am I trying to guess?"

Naruto smiled brightly.

"Who I like!!"

Hinata sighed.

"Is it Sakura-chan?"

Naruto laughed brightly.

"Nope!!"

Hinata looked at him with her lilac eyes wide in shock.

"R-really?"

He nodded.

"Then who?"

"I cant tell you. You have to guess!!"

Hinata nodded remembering the rules to the game.

"Hm...is she pretty?"

Naruto smiled and looked up at Hinata with shinning eyes.

"The most beautiful girl I've ever seen!"

Hinata nodded, already hating mystery girl.

"Is she a ninja?"

"Well of course! I wouldnt like someone who wasnt!!"
