She didn't want to let go. Still smiling down at Naruto as she embraced him in her powerful, yet friendly hug, Hinata wanted nothing more than to talk with him. She would let him start, knowing that he had an obvious question.

"Hinata?"

"Yes?"

"Uh...how did you get so big?"

"A new justu," Hinata casually replied. "You like it?"

"Well...erm,"

He's so cute when he tries to think Hinata thought. I just hope he's not too scared.

"Actually," Naruto replied. "This is kinda nice. Great view!"

"I'm glad you like it," Hinata replied.

Now came the hard part for her. She didn't want to go too fast, but...

"Um, Naruto-kun?"

"Yeah?"

"I was wondering, if..."

Naruto couldn't help but stare. "You're turning bright red. Are you OK?"

"Would you mind...well, I have the day free, and I didn't have..."

"Oh, you want me to go with you somewhere? Sure!"

Hinata was overjoyed when she heard that, hugging Naruto tighter than ever. "Thank you!"

"RIBS!"

"Oh." Giggling, Hinata let go. "Sorry. I don't know my own strength."

"Tell me about it," Naruto replied.
