Ok this is a oneshot silly little NarutoHinata thingy!

Please read with an open mind as this is my first real attempt at a oneshot, the idea comes from my favourite TV series Waking the Dead, I watched it and wondered 'what would happen if Naruto and Hinata were put in that position' it's based on a scene from it but I've taken some artistic licence here and added some extras. This means that it's based in modrn day England and all characters mentioned are police officers or forensic scientists working for the cold case squad, they still look the same but they don't use chakra, jutsu's etc. etc.

I don't own Naruto or waking the dead

Five days ago a group of builders working in an abandoned building were astonished when one of the ceilings collapsed. It wasn't the collapse of the building that astonished them but what fell through the whole in the ceiling, two bodies dropped down. Despite the deterioration of the two bodies due to the length of time the two had been up there it was obvious at first glance that they were a heterosexual couple and they were in an embrace of the most intimate variety. They had been in a hidden room and that was why they remained undiscovered for so long, inside the room there was luggage and ID for false identities.

The police were called in but considering how old the bodies were the assignment was soon handed over to the cold case unit.

So far thanks to identification papers they had been able to identify the male but not the female. Right now they were trying to discover time and cause of deaths, Superintendent Kakashi, also known as the best detective on the force was responsible for the investigation. As per his request Shikamaru the scientist in charge of the lab had created a floor plan of the crime scene, to help study the ballistics.

Now the young but brilliant scientist was joined by Naruto and Kakashi, they stood together looking around the layout that Shikimaru had created.

"As you can see" Shikimaru pointed out "the couple would have been on the desk there."

"Uh-huh"

"And the murderer would be standing here" Shikamaru stood on the x he had drawn on the floor "Uh this is tricky to explain like this…" he scratched his head "I kind of need dummies to show the couple properly… troublesome"

At that moment the door opened "Kakashi?" the shyest police woman on the team…no probably the face of the planet Hinata stuck her head into the room and seeing the superintendent walked in "I have an ID on the woman"

"Already? Nice going Hinata!" Naruto complemented making the young detective blush lightly

"Thank you"

"How'd you ID her?"

"B-breast implants" Hinata whispered feeling a little embarrassed handing a file over to her boss, ready to leave the moment she'd finished talking "th-they had a silicone sac reference code and we m-managed to trace them. Her name was Katherine Keane. Disappeared seven years ago they thought she'd run off with another man and so didn't really look for her. Apparently she had multiple l-lovers…they just thought she'd finally picked one. It's all in the file"

"Interesting" Kakashi took the folder but instead of allowing Hinata to leave he grabbed her arm smirking lightly "Actually Hinata we need you for a moment. Shikamaru you wanted two dummies, I think that description fits Naruto even if it is a little insulting to Hinata… but she'll do"

"Perfect" Shikamaru said with a grin "Ok Hinata just jump up onto this shelf for me!"

"Ok…?" Hinata nodded nervously, judging from the smirks on Shikamaru's and Kakashi's faces this could be a little embarrassing, she glanced at Naruto for answers but he looked as confused as her.

After Hinata had sat on top of the bookshelf Shikamaru moved towards her, "Slide a little to the left please"

"W-what are we d-doing here exactly?" Hinata asked

"Just recreating the crime scene" Shikamaru chuckled playfully "Now Naruto come here, stand in front of Hinata"

The blonde walked forward and did as he was told, he could see a hot blush cover the pale young woman. He smiled in what he hoped was a reassuring way but she just looked down at the floor space between them.

"Hinata if you could just open your legs and Naruto stand between them"

"What?" Naruto turned to glare at the pony-tailed scientist, but Shikimaru just gave him an innocent look.

"I'm just recreating the scene, now Hinata just open your legs"

Mute with apprehension Hinata obeyed orders, she was almost trembling as Naruto blushing slightly walked to stand between her legs and Shikamaru pushed him closer. Thank god she wore trousers today, she sometimes wore skirts but she was going to wear trousers constantly from now on!!

"Ok, hands out of your pockets Naruto" Shikamaru could barely stop himself from smiling at the reactions from the two "Now the couple were…we think here… get closer Naruto" He pushed the blonde into the dark haired girls chest "Now one arm here" One by one he grabbed Hinata's arms and pulled them over Naruto's shoulders before saying "Ok Naruto hold her like this" He wrapped Naruto's arms around her, one hand was placed high almost on her shoulder but the other was lower, placed very deliberately at the small of her back.

Nervous as hell Hinata just sat there as unresponsive as possible trying to pretend she wasn't in the arms of the man of her dreams. She was beginning to regret finding the identification of the woman as no doubt if she hadn't entered Shikamaru would have made do without the re-enactment, either that or it would be Kakashi and Naruto in this position, she giggled silently at the idea.

Mistaking her giggling for nervousness Naruto thought he could feel Hinata trembling, he was feeling a little embarrassed himself, truth be told he thought Hinata very attractive and holding her this close made him pay even more attention to her beauty. His face was mere millimetres from hers and he could just imagine in another situation moving her face to look at him and kissing her gently.

"This is fun" an amused Kakashi muttered to Shikamaru "but aren't you taking it a little too far, they needn't hold each other like that really"

"Right Hinata just wrap your legs around him" Shikimaru urged ignoring his superior for once

Holding her breath Hinata did as instructed but when she looked up to see how Naruto was taking all this she really wished she hadn't. He was grinning at her his large startlingly blue eyes gazed into hers in a pleased way that confused her.

"Ok" Shikamaru was back to work now his fun over "The killer would have been here… as you can see the first thing he would have seen if walking over to the desk was the couple, now depending on where the unknown woman…"

"K-Katherine Keane" Hinata corrected tearing her gaze away form Naruto's eyes

"Oh yeah Katherine" Shikamaru agreed "depending on her head was she might not have seen him right away. If it was not directed towards the doorway… Hinata place your head on Naruto's shoulder please… no face in his neck"

"Sorry" Hinata whispered her breath ghosting over Naruto's skin causing him to shiver slightly.

"So she's like that… now we know the man… Mervin Simmel did have a gun in his desk… we're not sure what type but it had been seen by people and they knew it was there. So if this killer… maybe one of Katherine's other lovers happened upon them accidentally… and knowing that the weapon would be there… he could have grabbed Mervin's gun in a fit of passion which would put him here." Shikamaru paused by the desk "but we know that the shot was fired from here" he moved closer to the doorway of the hidden room. "so he'd have to move around the desk but why? Why not just shoot from the desk? Especially if you're that mad…"

"Of course in order to see the couple the killer would have to have walked into the room at least this far" Kakashi said moving to an angle where he could see Naruto and Hinata "so the person would have had to walk in this room purposefully, maybe he was looking for them?"

"That's if they were being quiet" Shikamaru acknowledged "it could be that they attracted his attention... Hinata look up again over at the doorway"

Hinata did as she was told, she was less pink now, actually she was beginning to become rather comfortable in this position.

"Now tell me how much of me you can see as I walk around"

Looking up Hinata told Shikimaru when he was within her sight and when he disappeared from view

"So it's safe to say she would have seen him" Kakashi asked confusedly

"Not really" Hinata said with an embarrassed shrug "I mean sh-she might have been t-too caught up in what she was doing…"

"So you think she might not have seen the killer at all?"

"No… not if he was quiet and quick" Hinata observed "And it only took one shot"

"Yes!" Shikamaru agreed walking towards the couple embracing on the shelf "Because the shot went through him" he pointed to a spot on Naruto's back "into her… lean back Hinata" she did so "…into her here…, and then out the other side, lean forward…, into the wall here!"

"Which is why he wouldn't be too far from the doorway" Naruto acknowledged "because then the bullet wouldn't have gone into the wall behind her, it would have stopped within her body."

"Right!" Shikamaru nodded moving back into the secret room's doorway "So that's why we know the killer was here!"

"That's actually the desk right?" Naruto asked suddenly

"Yeah actually it came from the scene" Shikamaru nodded giving his colleague an odd look "it was left where it was because it's such a heavy old thing no one could be bothered to move it. It was tough getting it out of there but I wanted to run tests and use it to create this."

"Open the drawer, the one where the gun was kept"

"Why"

"Just try it" Naruto pleaded

"Ok" Shikamaru walked back around the desk and opened the top drawer, as he opened it the drawer scraped loudly.

"Can you see him right now?" Naruto asked turning to Hinata gazing momentarily into her blank but incredibly expressive eyes before she looked towards the doorway

"Yes"

"So assuming the drawer always made that noise" Naruto alleged "Katherine would have heard that and looked up seen the killer with the gun and made a movement, maybe pushed Mervin away? What would you do Hinata, just seeing him?"

"Um" Hinata tried to imagine seeing a killer with a gun she pulled away from Naruto and pushing him tried to get off the bookshelf "I'd probably have said something too maybe warned Mervin"

"Ok so the killer wouldn't have had time to walk here?" Shikimaru asked moving around the desk and into the doorway. "And still shoot you in that position from before?"

"No I'd have definitely moved" Hinata nodded firmly "even if I hadn't seen the gun I'd have done something, and Mervin would have heard the noise…maybe turned"

"Maybe" Naruto nodded turning to look behind him "you're always in view Shikamaru, if I turn even a little I can see you" he turned back and then looked around the other way "Can see you clearly turning this way as well"

"And if he turned" Hinata offered "the bullet wounds wouldn't be positioned as they are"

"Right so I'm pretty sure that drawer would always make that noise…it's that type of wood" Shikimaru paused "and if I think about it aged wood like this in a dry atmosphere wouldn't expand at all. I can ask the secretary if it always made that noise."

"So from all this we can assume that the killer arrived here with a gun, which suggests premeditated murder…not merely an opportunistic killing." Kakashi mused

"Ok…, once more Naruto Hinata into position"

Blushing again Hinata sat back onto the shelf and Naruto stepped between her legs and placed his arms around her. She looked at his face as she wrapped her arms around his neck and lifted her legs around him, he was really grinning now.

"Right so I'm the killer" Kakashi said moving towards the doorway and backing out of view entirely. He then walked in to the doorway set up by Shikimaru into view of Hinata and standing on the position they knew the killer would have been in. He then raised his hand pointing with one finger like a gun "I shoot…bang" he made the action with his hand as though shooting. "you two fall to the floor"

"So we now think maybe he brought the gun with him" Shkimaru stated

"So what happened to Mervin's gun?" Kakashi enquired turning to point at the desk

Shikimaru turned to look at the desk as well, after a few moments he mused "Maybe he took it with him,"

"Why?"

"So people would think it was Mervin's gun not his own, they might not look for another weapon, there aren't too many unregistered guns around here. Another question is why did no one hear it?" Shikamaru asked turning to face Kakashi "A gunshot would have been heard"

"Must have been a day when people weren't around"

"So the weekend?"

"That would make sense"

"Maybe they were planning to run off together, it would explain why Mervin wrote that goodbye letter to his brother"

"And why she had a case with her." Kakashi pointed out remembering that they had discovered some of the woman's luggage in the hidden room

"Why would anyone meet for a romantic tryst here? Surely a hotel would be more appropriate…"

"We know they were both well off and neither of them had a partner to worry about. That we know of" Kakashi corrected himself "Hinata what else do you know of Katherine Keane? …Hinata? ...Hinata?"

Ever since Naruto and Hinata had sat together the second time they had looked each other in the eye. Hinata was frozen, she couldn't stop staring into those amazing eyes, they were almost unnaturally blue, and his bright blonde hair was getting longer these days and fell onto his tanned forehead making him look sexy in a messy dangerous sort of way. Oh damn it why couldn't she be professional right now? She felt like the room was spinning, if Sakura or Ino the other girls on the team had been here they would have been fine! But noooo she was here and she was feeling extremely faint.

In contrast to his partners uncomfortable expression Naruto was smiling in a soft way, looking down into her troubled eyes, her skin was tinged a sweet pink that actually went well with her hair. She had such dark hair, an amazing contrast to her incredibly pale skin. He was always surprised at how nervous she was around him, he could tell she liked him but she never actually did anything about it. She was unbelievably nervy when he was flirty and he had often wondered what would happen if he did make a move on her, she got so shaky sometimes that he was afraid she might faint.

"Guys!" Shikamaru yelled a little to get through to them, they both turned to look at him their faces filled with confusion.

"Sorr-sorry" Hinata stuttered after turning her gaze from Naruto's to face Shikimaru and Kakashi "w-what was that?"

"You two can get down now" Shikimaru suddenly said, remembering why they were up there "we have the scene set now"

"Right" Naruto declared flashing Hinata a quick grin as he hugged her tighter before finally letting her go "Shame really, I was just getting comfortable" he hissed watching as she blushed even brighter. He then helped her down from her position on the shelf.

"Ok" Shikimaru grinned as he noticed Hinata's blush "we know Mervin Simnel disappeared at the same time as over two million was stolen form his company. Now it was assumed he'd done a bunk because of the goodbye letter he left for his brother which was discovered on his desk so no one really wondered about him. His brother seemed to be the only person in his life, no other family, no wife or girlfriend. So no one to get jealous over his relationship with Katherine"

"Right so we know that Mervin's only family or emotional attachment was his brother" Kakashi nodded "So Hinata what else do you know of Katherine Keane?"

"K-Katherine Keane um" Hinata paused "right I have nothing on her before 1990, I'm still looking into it… she had a f-fiancé when she…, when she went missing, he was the one that reported her gone. She had several other serious affairs going on at the time." Hinata took the file she had given Kakashi and pulled out a page "most of these men were in relationships themselves, three were married, one was in a long term relationship had been for seven years and still is. The other two men were single and both were interested in a proper relationship with her. They didn't see her fiancé as much of a problem, one even proposed"

"So she had seven men on the go at once?" Kakashi asked sounding impressed "must have been tricky, especially if some of them were possessive"

"Yeah I hate sharing" Naruto said moving to stand near Hinata feeling her whole body go rigid as his arm brushed against hers. He grinned down at her but she refused to look at him concentrating instead on the paper in her hand.

"It was eight including Mervin" Hinata murmured pulling out another page of information, a few photos dropped out at the same time falling to the floor but she ignored them for a moment. "the only problem is all these men will have distanced themselves by now and proving alibi's will be tricky"

"That's usually a problem for us though"

"There is another thing" Hinata told them "Adrian Peterson one of her most attentive lovers and from the looks of things the most possessive they think killed himself three days after she went missing."

"So it could be that the killer is dead?" Kakashi asked "Driven by what he had done into suicide?"

"Maybe but…" Hinata paused

"But what?" Shikamaru persisted

"But… I did a little extra research there's some suspicion around his death. There was an idea that maybe he didn't kill himself. Some evidence at the scene seemed to point towards another party being there. There wasn't much evidence so they kind of let it go…"

"Another suspicious death" Shikamaru groaned

"Troublesome huh?" Naruto asked causing Hinata to giggle a little.

"I think that's enough for tonight" Kakashi mumbled as he looked at his watch "we can start looking for these other men tomorrow morning. Don't be late you guys" and with that Kakashi left the room

"He tells us not to be late" Naruto grumbled "we aren't the ones that get lost on the road of life every morning!" To Naruto's pleasure this earned another giggle from Hinata and he grinned down at her. She smiled back up at him before turning to the desk and laying down her papers.

She then knelt on the floor to pick up the pictures she had dropped earlier.

"I'm heading to the lab again" Shikamaru muttered "see you two tomorrow" he them leaned in closer to Naruto hissing "just take her for a drink or something see how it goes." he then walked off leaving a smirking Naruto and a nervous Hinata.

Hinata hadn't heard exactly what Shikamaru had said but she could guess as to the nature of his comment. Picking up the photos, Hinata stood quickly jamming them into her file any old way not caring if she damaged them.

"S-see you tomorrow Naruto" she muttered making to move away but Naruto grabbed her arm

"Wait a second" she trembled a little and he smiled at her nervousness "are you doing anything after work?"

"No…"

Naruto grinned at her moving to place his hand on her shoulder making her look up at him "Well, I was wondering…"

"Naruto!" Suddenly Sakura entered the room, seeing the two of them she stopped still grinning at them "Oh! I didn't mean to interrupt anything…. sorry"

"It's OK" Hinata muttered pulling out of Naruto's grasp and practically running from the room.

An amused Sakura watched as Hinata fled away down the corridor, she turned back to make a joke to Naruto but stopped when his angry expression made her feel nervous "I really did interrupt something didn't I?"

Sighing Naruto shook his head, he smiled at his friend "I'll ask her another time, it just would've been easier cos she was relaxed with me for a moment… sorry what did you want?"

"I found the man who headed the company that owned the building, he was one Declan Keane"

"Keane? Related to Katherine Keane?"

"Um… I don't know" Sakura shook her head "who was Katherine Keane?"

"Our un-identified female"

--

Carefully negotiating the car Hinata drove through the streets following Naruto's instructions. They were following Declan Keane, Naruto was watching the mans car and telling Hinata where to go. She was watching the road carefully concentrating on seeming an ineffectual driver as she remained a few cars behind the large black Mercedes Benz.

Finally the car led them to a large building site, Declan and his companion left his vehicle and made their way onto the site walking straight into the office.

Hinata drove around the back of the site, she found a small country lane it was short and they could see that it didn't actually lead anywhere but it was good enough meaning that they were parked out of sight from the road.

"I'll go in" Naruto told her "Stay here and keep your eyes open"

"Remember that they both have guns registered to them, and are rumoured to carry them at all times. They're ruthless and it's thought that Declan is responsible for the death of a police officer, he won't think twice about hurting you"

"I remember, I'm not that forgetful" he sounded insulted as he unbuckled his seatbelt

"I'm just saying be careful" Hinata gave him a shy smile making Naruto grin in return

"When am I not careful?" he asked jokingly before opening his door, leaving the car and running off.

"All the time" Hinata muttered watching him go

Careful not to be seen Naruto sneaked around the site and hid round the back of the office, they had thought about bringing Declan in for questioning but they didn't want to alert him to the fact that they had found the bodies or that he was a suspect. It was easier to watch him covertly for a while and decide what type of man he was before doing that.

As Naruto edged closer and closer to the office he could hear the sounds of arguing, three men were practically yelling at each other in the office. He got nearer and was soon able to make out what they were saying.

"If you two hadn't been so stupid and dragged us both into this mess"

"It wasn't my wife that got involved with Mervin"

"She wasn't my wife anymore either!"

"Yeah well they've found her now haven't they?"

"What makes you so sure of that?"

"Because I just found out they were going to refurbish the building entirely, a friend of mine was running construction but for some reason all work on the building was stopped and the police were brought in"

"Damn!"

Outside the building Naruto grinned triumphantly, there was no doubt that all these men knew that those bodies were hidden there, so it was more than likely that one of them was the killer. He would normally have done something there and then but Hinata's warning stayed with him and he simply moved a little closer to try and recognise the voices.

"Hey there's someone out there!"

Surprised Naruto looked around… there was no way they could have seen him from where he was but when he looked left he realised that his shadow had fallen into view of the window. Before they could leave the office he was gone darting off across the site keeping out of view as much as possible.

Hinata sitting in her car more than a little surprised when a breathless Naruto appeared from seemingly nowhere jumping into the passenger seat.

"I think they're following me"

"Did they see you?"

"Not properly"

"Are they armed?"

"We can't risk it, if they find us here…"

"There's no way out of here without going past them." Hinata shouted desperately

"Damn" Naruto cursed, he couldn't believe he had been so stupid "so what do we say we were doing here looking at the wildlife?"

It took Hinata a split second to think of what to do, and although the thought of doing it made her want to pass out she moved quickly trying not to think too much.

Naruto was stunned when the eternally shy Hinata climbed out of her seat and sat straddling his lap "Hinata?"

"Just follow my lead" she hissed blushing hotly before pressing her lips onto his.

The first kiss was nervous and, due to the shock Naruto was in, a little one-sided, but as he realised what she was doing he inwardly smirked bringing his arms up to hold her. Who would have guessed that their first kiss would be so involved?

The second kiss was more mutual, Hinata was clearly nervous, she was even shaking a little, but Naruto was quite happy to take control of the situation and he leaned forward this time causing her to rest back on the headboard, after a while his lips left hers and began to trace down along her neck.

For an instant Naruto forgot what was happening and just enjoyed having Hinata in his lap, then she moved her head into his neck and whispered "Are they anywhere in sight?"

"Um…" Naruto snapped back into reality, looking out the corner of his eye he could see two men staring at the car, moving his lips close to her ear he hissed "They see us"

"I hope this works" Hinata said moving her lips back to Naruto's

'It's certainly working for me' Naruto thought to himself as he closed his eyes losing himself in the kiss. He ran his fingers through her long hair, it was so soft and luxurious, he could feel her hands on his shoulders fisting the material of his jacket. One of his hands stroked up and down her spine feeling the row of bones easily through the thin material of her shirt.

Moving back to her neck he could see the two men had gotten closer, but were now walking away, obviously Hinata's idea had worked. They had decided that the couple in the car were just a harmless pair of lovers getting a moment alone. He watched as the two men walked out of sight, they were safe, he really ought to stop this and tell Hinata that it was OK to stop. He should tell her that they were safe and there was no need to keep kissing… he ought to… he should… but he didn't. One of Hinata's hands had gone to the back of his head rubbing his neck, he loved that, it felt soo good.

He placed one hand on her cheek stroking the soft skin, the other hand he kept at her back pressing her body to his. Finally Hinata placed her mouth by his ear again "Are they still there?"

"No…" oops! Answered that one too quickly!

"No?" Hinata turned to look around her "when did they go?"

"Umm just now?" he couldn't help it he didn't sound convincing and he knew he looked guilty. He grinned at her, that charming grin that would make most woman swoon

"When did they go?" she repeated not believing him, she had worked with him for too long to fall for his beguiling ways

"About a minute ago"

"Why didn't you tell me?" she squirmed out of his hold and sat back in her seat, her face was bright red as she angrily buckled her seatbelt.

"I dunno" he shrugged, it was a lie but he figured that the truth wouldn't go down too well. "But we ought to wait a minute or two before driving or they might get suspicious."

"And we'd hate for anyone to suspect that we were tricking them in an incredibly devious way." Hinata spat out the words and stared forward refusing to look at Naruto.

The blonde wanted to point out that she had been enjoying it as much as he had but Naruto wisely decided not to say anything. Facing three men with guns was actually preferable to the angry Hinata.

--

"We have no evidence to really connect these men to the crime scene" Shikimaru shrugged thinking about the three businessmen waiting to be interviewed.

"Wait…" Hinata paused looking at the papers they had found on Mervin Simmels desk "look at the envelopes he was going to send" she picked up one of the letters and held it up

"What about it?" Shikimaru asked

"Well if we compare it to the goodbye letter he left ready to send to his brother…"

"The writing, the ink, the paper is all the same" Kakashi shrugged "What else is there to look at?"

"The way it's sealed" Hinata explained holding it up "these envelopes are all tucked in and then taped over… the one he sent to his brother"

"Was licked" Shikimaru exclaimed realising what Hinata was getting at, "Maybe the murderer saw the letter and saw it's potential, placed it in an envelope, and then licked it without thinking!"

"It's one hell of a long shot" Sakura sighed

"Well Shikimaru you go test that envelope" Kakashi demanded, Shikimaru bowed politely before rushing from the room. "Right Hinata, Sakura and Ino go get our interviewees to give you a DNA sample, take one each, remember to use the phrase…to cross them off our list of suspects as often as possible"

"Why them?" Naruto asked, "surely it would be better for Shikimaru to do it."

"I'm making them do it because if you're a guy and a pretty woman walks in and asks you to open your mouth, you're more likely to do it."

--

It was another case solved, the ex-husband was the cold blooded if rather predictable killer and he was quite willing to bring the other two men down with him. In keeping with tradition the group went out together for a drink to celebrate getting a particularly hard case solved. Kakashi never joined them, it was the younger members of the team Shikimaru, Naruto, Ino Hinata and Sakura who felt the need to wind down.

As the evening progressed Ino and Shikimaru disappeared off together leaving Hinata and Naruto with a very tipsy Sakura. The Hyuga girl shook her head as she looked at her colleague, Sakura wasn't usually a heavy drinker but her recent break up meant she was acting out of character.

"Come on Sakura" Hinata stood and grabbed the other girls bag "Lets get you out of here"

"I'll help you take her home" Naruto laughed grasping Sakura's arm and pulling it over his shoulder "Good thing I didn't drink anything"

"Thanks" Hinata smiled shyly at him and followed him out of the bar "She's staying with me at the moment"

"What's up with her and that boyfriend?" Naruto asked as he half carried Sakura out of the bar

"Leeee" Sakura told him slurring a little "hiss name iss Lee and he'sss an idiot"

"Oh right!" Naruto lay Sakura down in the back of his car and then politely opened the passenger door for Hinata.

"He wants her to quit work when they get married" Hinata explained before she got into the car "It's just a silly argument, they'll be back together this time next week"

Following Hinata's instructions Naruto drove the two girls home, he wasn't surprised when they stopped at an apartment block in the more expensive part of town. He lifted Sakura out of the car with ease and followed Hinata finally depositing the pink haired girl in Hinata's own bed.

"She usually sleeps on the couch" Hinata explained as she led him out the bedroom and into the kitchen "but I figure she'll need something more comfortable to sleep it off"

"Yeah" Naruto smiled at Hinata, once more she was at ease with him, he knew it wouldn't last long so he needed to say something before she started blushing and stuttering again.

"Want a drink?" Hinata asked politely

"No thanks… Hinata?"

"Y-yeah"

Damn she was stuttering already! "You busy tomorrow after work?"

"N-no"

"Great" Naruto gave her a wide grin "You can come for a drink with me."

"J-just you and m-me?"

"Yes just you and me"

"Y-you mean l-like a d-d-d" the poor girl was blushing so hard she looked like she was going to faint.

"Date?" Naruto supplied trying not to laugh at her nervousness, they had been making out just the other day and now the idea of a date was turning her into a stuttering mess.

"Yeah" she whispered ducking her head and pointing her fingers together

"Yeah" Naruto grinned slipping his arms around her waist and lifting her chin to look at him "like a date"

"O-ok" Hinata smiled a little

"Great" Naruto grinned again and this time he moved in to begin the kissing session.

Ok kind of stupid but I had a two hour train ride this weekend and nothing to do except work on my fanfics. Well I could have done my coursework but where's the fun in that??

R&R
