"It's two o'clock finally! Something better to eat" Chouji said. "Are you indirectly saying the buns were bad?" Hinata lifted a brow with a questioning look. Had they seen this side for her before, they wouldn't have been scared.

"That's not what he meant Hinataaa! Just he is hungry, everyone is!" Sakura said sweating slightly. Hinata suddenly smiled. "You can be kowai too," Shikamaru said. Naruto got up.

"Where are you going?" Sakura asked. "To take a leak," he said irritated and walked. "Something is seriously wrong with him," Ino said. "Let me go check," Sasuke said as he got up, put his hands in his pockets, and walked.

"What about you?" Ino asked looking at Hinata. "Wha-are you asking me?" Hinata asked. "Yes dear," Ino said. "You are acting even weirder," Sakura said. "Nothing, really," Hinata said normally.

"Hinata? No blushing, no 'kun' after Naruto's name, no fainting, new hair, no stuttering" Sakura said. "Seriously, am fine!" Hinata said annoyed. They didn't continue further because they didn't want to see another angry side of her.

Naruto stood near the train door, staring outside the window. "How are you?" Sasuke said. "Am fine, no thank you" Naruto said quietly still staring outside. Sasuke sweatdropped.

"Am being serious, you were fine till yesterday until something came over you this morning" Sasuke said. "Tsk, you don't know what I am feeling! Go away Sasuke" Naruto said glaring at him.

"I don't know, because you aren't saying, just tell what you feel already. I might be able to help" Sasuke said. Naruto stared at him until he finally spoke. "I don't know why, I was kinda angry at Hinata....." Naruto said sadly. "Why?" Sasuke asked.

"I just said!! I don't know!! She was acting so different.......it kinda felt weird when she didn't say 'Kun' after my name and how she's always looking away" he continued. "So how do you feel about it?" Sasuke asked.

".......kinda hurt, I feel all angry! maybe annoyed! I.....I kinda miss how she always was red, her stuttering habits......it's like, she is hiding something and feels like it is specifically from me" He said frustrated.

"To be honest, I found her attitude weird too. Maybe she is worried about something and doesn't want to talk about it" Sasuke said. "But then why avoid me?!!" Naruto almost yelled.

"I just hate how she was ignoring me.....it almost feels like when I was a kid and people ignored me and glared at me just because I was an orphan........Hinata always felt so bright, the first time when we had a proper conversation,

you know the one I talked about, 'Proud Failure' one, that speech she gave me before our football match with Neji's group, made me feel so acknowledged. But looking at her, all of the sudden. She acts differently.

She did become confident, but it feels like she is against me, like she is not by my side like she used to be" Naruto's voice cracked.

He looked down. "Talk to her," Sasuke said. "Huh?" "Just go talk to her, you cannot know if you don't ask, she might have a reason. There is always a reason behind everything" Sasuke said.

"Then.....is there a reason behind me being so irritated? And that weird happy feeling I always felt with her?" Naruto asked. His hand unconsciously moved to his heart and clenched his shirt. "There is, but you have to figure it out yourself. She is more important to you than you think" Sasuke said smiling. Which was rare.

"I bet everything will be fine till the end of this trip," Sasuke said. "I think so....." Naruto said. "Alright then!! I will talk to her!! No matter what!!" Naruto said smiling. 'You seriously can't understand your feelings about her, Tch, Baka Naruto' Sasuke thought smirking.

"Let's go, we have to order food," Sasuke said as Naruto nodded. They both walked back. They saw an annoyed Hinata and his friends who were a bit scared from her behavior. "Yo!" Naruto said to lighten up the mood.

"So your normal self is back? Nice" Shikamaru said. "Duh, just something's on my mind! Eto, did the food man come yet?" Naruto asked. "Food man? You mean the pantry guy?" Chouji said. "Yep!" Naruto answered grinning.

Everyone smiled, he was finally being himself. But they were still worried about Hinata. They all hear the door open and see a man with a little notepad in his hand. "Hehe!! Finally!!" Naruto said as he purposely sat beside Hinata.

But by mistake kept his hand on hers, which he didn't notice. "N-naruto, w-what are y-you doing?" She stuttered slightly blushing. "Huh? What do you mean?" He asked. She looked at his hand, he look down there too. He gasped and took his hand away.

"Sorry bout that! I didn't see-ttebayo!" Naruto said nervously. 'Silly me! But she stuttered, and was red again!! I guess am making progress!! Hehe!' Naruto thought. 'She hasn't changed fully' Shikamaru thought. Finally, the man arrived. "Would you like a veg or non-veg meal?" He asked.

Chouji, Naruto and Sasuke went with non-veg, while Hinata, Ino, Shikamaru and Sakura went with veg. "Alright, I will come back with your order," he said about to leave. "Can you get some warm water also?" Naruto asked. "Right," he said and left.

Naruto laughed silently. "What are you laughing at?" Ino looked at him suspiciously. Naruto dug his hand in his bag and take out something. "Cup ramen??!! Naruto!! Are you seriously not gonna leave that thing!!" Sakura said.

"Never! And it is certainly not a 'thing'! It is a food item! Plus I got the veg ones-ttebayo!! It has a lot of veggies!!" Naruto said grinning. Sasuke rubbed his eyes.

"Vegetable? You are not sick, are you? You sure didn't get them by your will?" Sasuke said. 'Humph! I had to force him!' Hinata thought. "No obviously not! Nata-chan forced me and I couldn't say no or she wouldn't let me buy ramen at all!" Naruto said.

Everyone smiled at the new name, except Hinata who was flustered. 'N-n-nata-chan?..........WHA???!' Hinata thought. "But when did you guys meet?" Sakura asked. "It was a coincidence, I was going to buy ramen and some clothes.

I saw her with Hanabi so I thought we can spend time together-ttebayo!" Naruto explained. "Ohhhhh! That's nice!" Sakura said smirking as she turned her head towards Hinata, who was frowning.

"But then we saw Shion! And she wouldn't leave me alone!" Naruto said annoyed. Hinata's frown grew even more. 'Wait-can Hinata be angry that I didn't spend much time with her and Hanabi?' Naruto thought. He turned his face to look at her.

His face was too close to hers, he could just kiss her lips. He saw her frowning face. "Is everything okay Nata-chan?" Naruto asked trying to act cool. 'Stop playing around with me Naruto!!' Hinata thought. "Everything's fine Naruto," Hinata said looking away from his face. He felt his heartache again. 'Naruto......Kun? Please?' Naruto thought sadly.
