This is something random I was thinking of (probably while browsing fanart DX) and made a short lil fic out of it. I've been working on it on and off for the past couple of months when I should be working on other promised fanfiction and I thought I'd go ahead and slap this up here since it's completed. IT IS TWO PARTS. This is part one. I'll probably put part two up soon. For now enjoy :).
Oh, and it is Sakura's birthday today. So happy birthday, Sakura even though this is fic is about Hinata's birthday! :D
Tiny Warning/Note thing: Characters are a little over-exaggerated and a little OOC. It's just for the sake of comedy. But if you don't like it don't read it. Flames will be used toast marshmallows! Also note that Sasuke is back in the village. Just assume sometime between the manga and here Naruto got Sasuke back because everything is better with Sasuke! -fangirlish giggle- -is shot-

"But Neji!" Naruto exclaimed.
"What do you need, Uzumaki!?" Neji growled. Naruto had followed him all the way back to the compound from the training grounds. Neji was enjoying his pleasant afternoon training until this knucklehead disturbed him with his extremely loud voice.
"But I need help!" Naruto yelled at him. Neji flipped him over his shoulder, so he landed on his back.
"Ouch, what the hell was that for!?" Naruto screamed rubbing his sore back and getting up.
"Now, figure out how to block it. Then, figure out how to do it." Neji explained. Naruto looked confused. "You said you needed help. Training? You found me at the training grounds…" Neji asked.
"No!" Naruto cried.
"What is it then?" Neji groaned.
"It's Hinata's surprise birthday party tomorrow. I don't know what to get her!" Naruto whispered looking around to make sure she wasn't around.
"How should I know?" Neji asked.
"You're her cousin!" Naruto shrieked at him.
"Okay, okay." Neji held his ears, his head now throbbing from being around the loudmouth shinobi for over ten minutes straight.
"What does she like?" Naruto asked, whispering again afraid Hinata was around.
"I don't know." Neji shrugged.
"What does she enjoy or talk about?" Naruto interrogated trying to get ideas.
"I suppose the only thing she ever talks about—when she does talk—is of her infatuation of you." Neji explained.
"Um, can you say that again except for not so many confusing words?" Naruto asked. "I don't want to mess this up or Sakura will kill me."
"Hinata."
"Yes."
"Talks."
"Okay."
"Only."
"Go on."
"About."
"Mm hm."
"You."
"What?"
"Still don't get it?" Neji groaned. "Hinata only talks about how much she likes you, okay? She enjoys your presence…she values you as a friend…takes pleasure in talking to you. How many ways should I put this?" Neji asked.
"THAT'S IT!" Naruto shouted. Neji was sure he was deaf now. He'd have to see if Lady Tsunade could take a look at his ears to make sure they weren't permanently damaged. Naruto took off in the other direction. Neji wasn't exactly sure how Naruto came up with an idea from what little information he'd given him, but it sure would be an interesting gift whatever it was, coming from Naruto.

"God, what are you doing?" Sasuke eyed his friend, considering whether or not he should just take him to the hospital for mental illness. Naruto was tweaking a large red bow on the top of his head.
"I'm the present." Naruto grinned at Sasuke. Sasuke raised his arms in a 'Why me?' motion. "Where's your present, by the way?"
"I didn't get her one." Sasuke shrugged. Naruto gasped largely at him.
"What? I didn't know what to give her and I don't even know her that well and there's going to be so many people there that she isn't going to exactly go around to every guest and demand a gift." Sasuke supposed.
"Why are you going then if you don't know her that well?" Naruto asked.
"Sakura told me I had to come or else. I don't want to find out what the 'or else' is." Sasuke shrugged. They arrived at the Hyuuga compound where they were ushered in quickly, being informed by a rabid Ino that Hinata and Sakura would be there any minute. The whole party had been arranged by Sakura, Ino and Ten Ten.
"Nice…party decoration?" Ino paused to look oddly at him.
"I'm her gift." Naruto nodded. Ino giggled. "What, is it stupid?"
"No! It's cute!" Ino grinned. Naruto glanced at Sasuke who gave him no support what so ever.
"THEY'RE HERE! EVERYONE! HIDE!" Ten Ten screamed. They all scrambled around like mice, Naruto tried to keep his bow straight.
"All right, here we are!" Sakura exclaimed, a supposed key word as everyone jumped out.
"SURPRISE!"
Hinata looked scared to death. Like she was trapped with nowhere to go.
"It doesn't look like surprise parties are really Hinata's thing. Who's idea was this?" Sasuke mumbled as he stood next to Naruto. Naruto shrugged.
"I just know I wouldn't want a shitload of people jumping out at me on my birthday." Sasuke shrugged. Naruto suddenly knew what he was doing for Sasuke's birthday.
"Hinata, we planned you a party!" Sakura explained to her, who still looked petrified.
"Wow…you didn't have to do that…" Hinata smiled feebly around at everyone. The crowds that were hiding started to disperse some crowding up around Hinata wishing her Happy Birthday and some (like Choji) headed straight for the food. Sakura was chatting with Temari who had come from Suna just for the party. Kankuro had come as well, but Gaara had stayed. The Kazekage couldn't just leave the village for a birthday party.
"Jeez, Hinata. I don't think I've ever seen you look shocked in your life!" Naruto ran up to the Hyuuga girl who was talking to Kiba.
"Naruto-kun…why do you have a giant bow on your head…?" Hinata asked.
"Oh, this? I'm your present!" Naruto exclaimed. Naruto hardly had time to finish his sentence and Hinata fainted.
"Hinata!" Naruto shouted as he dove down to catch her, as he was the closest one. He was the only one now having a conversation with her since Kiba decided to head off with Shino to give the two a private conversation. A group formed around them to see what had happened as Naruto held an unconscious Hinata.
"What happened?" Lee asked.
"She fainted, like she always does." Naruto shrugged. "I was kinda expecting it since she does it all the time, so I was ready."
"What is that ridiculous bow on your head?" Sakura asked before asking of Hinata's well being.
"I'm giving myself to her." Naruto explained.
"I see why she passed out," Sakura looked a tad disturbed.
"You know, for like a day." Naruto hadn't figured all the details out himself. But he supposed he'd just spend a day with Hinata and do what ever she wanted to do. Hinata started to wake.
"Hey! You're awake! So yeah, about my present…we can spend the day together and do whatever you want to do cause I'm yours for a day!" Naruto spouted out the details he just worked out in his head.
"That's brilliant." Kiba scratched his head. "The most unique present I've seen."
"That is so creative Naruto-kun!" Lee exclaimed. "Just like someone as passionate as you!"
"That's so self-centered of you to. Like anyone would want you as a gift. They'd want the gift of not having you around for the day!" Sakura rolled her eyes. She knew of Hinata's crush of course and thought it was cute on the inside, but just the thought of getting Naruto as a gift herself pissed her off.
Neji just smirked at the blonde haired shinobi holding his cousin (who had just passed out again). He could have guessed it would be something like this. Naruto had just enough of a quirk to him to be as weird as to give himself to his cousin for a day. And it would give Hinata an excuse to spend some decent time with Naruto…that is if she could keep conscious during that day.
"Well, nice going, Uzumaki!" Ino yelled at Naruto. "Now the birthday girl is going to be unconscious for the rest of her party because you had to give your present to her early." Ino shook her head, disappointedly.
"I'll get her up!" Naruto promised. "Come on, Hinata! It's really important you wake up now. The party planners are going to kill me if you aren't conscious and enjoying your party!" Naruto exclaimed shaking Hinata. It was a wonder she didn't get whiplash.
"Naruto, calm down! She isn't a rag-doll!" Sakura yelled at her. Hinata started to wake for the second time.
"Okay, I'm not even going to bother telling you about my present until after the party." Naruto sighed as he tried to set her up. Hinata saw the bow on Naruto's head and remembered what he had told her before she passed out and she started to go numb again. "Hinata!" Naruto picked her up, starting to get frustrated and tried to set her straight as he threw off the stupid bow that was causing the mess. It was itchy anyway. He leaned her against him as she regained feeling and consciousness.
"Are you all right now?" Naruto asked. Hinata looked scared again and started to blush furiously.
"Okay, Naruto. You've had enough time with the birthday girl!" Ino ushered him away as Sakura offered Hinata something to drink.
"Hey! I was talking there!" Naruto snapped at Ino.
"And if you keep talking, then she'll be unconscious the whole time." Ino growled at him.
"How am I supposed to give her my present if she goes comatose every time I get near her?" Naruto asked Ino desperately.
"Oh, you'll figure it out eventually." Ino hurried away to host her party. Naruto sat confused by himself. He went to go find Sasuke who hadn't been around the fiasco.
"So how'd your little gift go?" Sasuke asked, picking out a nice dumpling for himself.
"Not good. Hinata passes out whenever I come near her. I don't know how I'm going to be able to spend a day with her if she's going to go unconscious." Naruto sighed. Sasuke shrugged with his mouth full of dumpling. "Tonight I'll go tell Tsunade not to give her any missions and then I'll go and see her. Maybe she'll have gotten all the fainting out of her system." Naruto thought to himself. Sasuke gave him an indifferent look. "You are no help."
For the rest of the party, Naruto stayed clear of Hinata unless if it looked like she was heading straight for him. Which she never did. It looked like she was staying clear of him as well. What did he ever do to her? Whenever he talked to her she usually stuttered…her face was usually a bright red as if she were ill. Then if he talked to her for to long or gave her a scare she usually passed out. Of course, they were usually outside when they talked…did she easily overheat? It was the sun that made her this way? No, that was stupid. She had been on missions and training for hours in the sun. Hm…wait…so does all this mean that…
HINATA WAS ALLERGIC TO HIM!?
Naruto choked on a piece of ginger cake that had been served.
"What is your problem?" Sasuke asked him.
"Sasuke, I think I know what is wrong with me. Or with Hinata." Naruto whispered to his friend.
"What?" Sasuke asked although he really didn't care.
"She's allergic to me!" Naruto whispered. Sasuke snorted cake everywhere. A piece of it landed in Sakura's hair, who was sitting by his feet on the floor.
"Sasuke, are you okay?" Sakura asked. She felt the back of her head, feeling something there and grimaced at it. Sasuke covered his mouth and continued to laugh.
"I'm serious!" Naruto exclaimed. "This is no laughing matter!"
"What are you serious about?" Sakura asked stroking her hair to get all of the partially chewed cake out of her hair. "I have never seen Sasuke laugh like that."
"I think Hinata is allergic to me!" Naruto whispered to Sakura. Sakura looked at him in confusion. Was he really that stupid to have come up with a solution such as this? "She's been having allergic reactions to me this whole time!" Naruto continued to explain since Sakura only stared at him.
"Naruto, she isn't allergic to you." Sakura assured him.
"How do you know?" Naruto demanded
"I just know."
"Then what is it? Is there something wrong with me?" Naruto asked.
"No, just keep being you." Sakura encouraged him. "That's obviously what she likes in you." Sakura mumbled.
"How do I stop her from fainting?" Naruto asked Sakura.
"Just spend the day with her like you plan to. I'm sure some piece of knowledge will surface that will enlighten you." Sakura explained. She didn't want to tell the blonde haired shinobi of Hinata's crush. That would have to be Hinata's job.
