Naruto

 Narruto was walking alone in the Konoha village, he saw Hinata and waved to her. Fortunately Hinata turned around and walked over him. "Hinata, would you like to take a walk with me? Naruto asked smilingly, but Hinata blushed and looked down, quiet for a second. "Hm? What's wrong?" Naruto asked looking at her. "Oh! Um nothing Naruto. I .......I Love to talkwith you." Hinata said shyly. Naruto placed his hands behind his head and smiled. Hinata walked by him as the two were silent for a moment. "Hinata, why are you so quiet all the time?". Naruto broke the silence. Hinata didn't answer, then hesitated, " I...... I've always been that way ." She said softly." I see. You need to talk more-how  am I supposed to know more about you, if you don't talk. You're always acting weird around me ". Naruto pointed out. Hinata looked at him shyly then looked down looking ashamed ."S......Sorry. I- ...."Naruto replied not opening his mouth. "I.....I I....Li...like you!" She said finally committing her feelings. He face blushed a deep red. Naruto stopped walking . He didn't know what to say. Silence took over the moment. Tears filled in Hinata's eyes. "S-Sorry!" She said in a quiet tone as she took off running, ashamed. Tears flew from her eyes as she ran passed. Naruto ran after her. But Hinata ran fast. Suddenly She tripped on a tree stump. Her face fell in the dirt, as her hands clenched the grass and dirt. She sobbed quietly. Naruto smiled and held her, he said "I Love you too Hinata".
