After Naruto cheered me up, he splashed me in the face which led to this:

"Water Style: Water Dragon!" I shouted. I wasn't a real jutsu, I just thought it'd be more fun to holler out random jutsu names."Water Style: Take This!" he shouted back."That's not a jutsu!"

"I don't care!" he said.

"Fine. Water Style: Right Back At Ya!"

"Water Style: Not Gonna Hit Me!"

"Water Style: Eat It!"

"Water Style: Never!!!"

And we went back and forth, splashing each other with the cold river water."How could you?!" I heard an angry voice."Me?" I ask and stopped splashing."What'd she do?" Naruto asked."You know exactly what you did!" Tenten screamed at us."He saw you guys kissing out here! Then he ran off crying! What kind of friend are you?! You know how much he likes you?!" she screamed at me.

My face turned red."H-he likes me?" I ask."Yes! And now he's crushed!"

"I-I didn't know. Naruto only kissed me cause I was feeling bad. I was crying. I didn't know anyone was watching or even around her for that matter. I'm so sorry." I said."Don't apologise to me. You need to tell Neji exactly what you just said." she said. I nodded, got out of the water and ran to Neji's. I came back and remembered something."Forgot my clothes." I said. I put on my dress and ran to his house.

When I arrived, I took a deep breath and was about to knock on the door but it already opened."Oh, hi Gray." Hinata said."Awe, hi." I cooed with my sparkling eyes."Why do you always say awe when you see me?" he questioned.

"Cause you're awesome." I answered. She smiled and came out of the door."Are you looking for Neji?"

"Yeah, I really need to talk to him. I kinda hurt his feelings and I wanna make it up to him." I said, blushing like crazy."He's in the training room. I'll take you to him." she offered. I nodded and she came back in with me following close behind. She allowed me to enter the big room first and I saw Neji kicking a wooden pole with a cushion around it so it wouldn't hurt. He kicked it again and again, obviously really mad.

"Neji-" I began, but was cut off by him punching the pole so hard, his fist nearly got stuck in it. My heart nearly stopped with fear but I walked closer to him anyway."Neji, are you okay?" I ask.'What kind of question is that?! Does he look okay?! No!' I mentally slapped myself. He didn't answer me."Hey, you wanna talk?" I ask.(I'm laughing right now!)

He still didn't answer me."Neji, can I at least explain?" I ask. Once again, silence.'The silent treatment, eh? Okay, then I'll keep going.'

"Naruto and I are only friends and I want you to know that I really, really like you." I began and he froze.'Oh, yeah. That got his attention.'

"You see, I was in the river with Naruto because I accidentally made him fall in so he made me jump in as payback. When I did, it reminded me of some dumb nightmare I had and he helped me out of the water. He kissed my forehead to make me feel better because I was crying. I'm sorry you had to see that but the truth is, I'd rather kiss you than him." I babbled. I didn't mean to say that part. Oops.

[*] Neji [*]

"-I'd rather kiss you than him." she said. My face was so red, I felt it burning my cheeks and my heart was beating so fast. I turned around to see her face was just as red as mine."Gray-" I began but was cut off when I felt sweet lips on mine for a slip second. I nearly passed out and my face was on fire!

"I really like you. So please don't be mad." she said, looking away from me."I'm not." I admitted. She looked back up to me with a smile. Suddenly, I heard an explosion in the distance."What was that?" she asked."I..don't know?"

There was another explosion and Hinata entered the room."Someone's ambushed the village. Lady Tsunade wants all shinobi outside, now!" she said. I took Gray's hand and we headed outside to Lady Tsunade's building. We knelt down in front of her as she explained the situation.

"Everyone, listen up! There are outsiders who have entered the village. I need all Jonin to protect all entrances and exits of the village, all Chunin to search for those rogue ninja and all Genin to get the villagers to a safe place." she ordered. Everyone obeyed and were dismissed to do their jobs. Gray started hyperventilating and fanning herself."Hey, relax. If you need help, I'll be right here." I assured her and held her hand.

She smiled and calmed her breathing.

'Neji is so dreamy.' I sighed in my mind as I carried a little kid to his mother."Oh, thank you!" she said, hugging her child tightly. I saluted to her and jumped away."Hey, Gray!" I heard a familiar and a adorable voice call to me."Hey, how'd it work out with Neji?" Naruto asked running beside me.

"Great. He's my boyfriend now." I bragged."Wow, that was quick."

"Yeah, I'm just that amazingly amazing." I said."Okay, you can stop now." he groaned. Suddenly, I saw someone appear in front of us. The smoke cleared and there was a man with spiky red hair and a mask."Wow. You're as beautiful as I remember." he said, smirking at us."Gray, who is that?" Naruto asks."You're asking like I know the guy."

"Well, he apparently knows you."

"I don't know how!"

"I was there when you were born." he said."You're not related to me are you?" I ask."No dear, I'm only here to say hello. Oh, and take the Arogan from you." he said, smiling evily. Naruto stands in front of me with his hands in a hand sign.

"I won't let you touch her. Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

And at least a hundred Naruto's appear. They all roar as they charge at the strange man.'Great, Naruto's in action, but what do I do?' I think. I reach behind me into my weapons pouch and pull out my titanium gloves. The man destroys all of the clones and hits Naruto to the ground. I leap into the air and hit him in the face.'Yes, I hit him!' I mentally celebrate.

He rolls to a stop and disappears into thin air."You're not the only one who can create shadow clones." he says, standing behind Naruto. I turn around and see him making rapid hand signs."Earth Style: Earth Splitting!"

"Lightning Blade!" I hear. Suddenly, I hear what sounds like chirping birds and Kakashi enters with blue lighting in his hand. He strikes the masked man square in his gut with his hands sticking out through the man's back."Ooh, that's gotta hurt." I said, wincing.

I hear Naruto groaning in lain and I rush over to him."Are you okay?" I ask, helping him up."Heh...never better." he says with a smile and one eye closed. I put his arms over my shoulder and hold his waist so he can stand.

"Hey kids." Kakashi says, smiling at us...I think."Thanks Kakashi. You really saved us." I said."It's Kakashi sensei to you."

"I call you what I want, ponyboy." I retort."Ponyboy?" he questions. Naruto laughs lowly and tries to stand on his own."I'm okay, Gray." he then says."You sure?" I ask, not wanting him to fall on his face."Yeah, I-whoa!" I yells. I picked him up piggyback style and smirk."Okay, maybe I need a little help." I said and I laugh.

"We should get him to the hospital. It may have just been a punch to the stomach but that guy seemed really strong. That justu he called was no ordinary Earth Style jutsu. Not even the third Hokage could perfect it." Kakashi explained."I'll carry him." I volunteered.

"Awe man, seriously? I can't be seen being carried by a girl." Naruto complains."Okay, you can just walk there yourself." I smirk."Never mind. Just hurry up, please." he said.
