Kisses and Headaches
Chapter 1: First Kiss
....
Sakura was in love with Sasuke. She had been for the majority of her childhood, while for as long as she had been able to remember. She had dedicated her life to being able to remain beside him, with him. When they had been placed on the same team, she had been sure this was her chance. Instead, all she gained was a small place in his probably still there heart, as his teammate. It wasn't what she had been hoping for, but there were ways to gain what you wanted, and unknowingly Naruto had been the one to provide her with that answer.
Well to be more exact, Jiraiya had been the one to inspire her.
Naruto had left a copy of Jiraiya's book out, out of boredom, or some type of sign from above, the book had been there. So she read it.
Being a student of medicine it wasn't all that difficult for her figure out some of the ingredients. After a few weeks, the love potion had been made, and now it needed to be used. Though Sakura was wiser than some might believe, she needed to be assured that it worked. She knew the perfect help for this.
....
Hinata took in a deep breath as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was determined that she would not only admit her love for him but present him with something she had been holding on to. Her first kiss. Now she needed to figure out how to tell him, without passing out or worse looking awful in front of him.
So she started to repeat to herself, out loud. " I Hyuga Hinata am brave, strong and can do this.." she repeated as she stared into the mirror.
"Do what?" At the voice Hinata jumped startled. she looked at Kiba who was standing slightly outside the doorway just staring at her, as were Kiba and Akamaru. As the blood rushed to her face in humiliation she made the same mental note she always did when something like this happened. She needed to go over personal space with her teammates. After all they had entered her room, and then walked over to the bathroom, if she had been doing anything..she shook her head.
"N--Nothing!" She squeaked out as the three of them stared at her.
"Than what was that, you were just doing?" Kiba asked as he entered what was supposed to be her personal bathroom to stare at the mirror. "Talking to the mirror." Kiba stared at himself for awhile. "I Inuzuka Kiba am brave, strong and can do anything." he smiled at himself. "Hey! Shino you ought a try this out!"
Hinata had moved out of her bathroom which was meant for one to her room to stand beside her other teammates. she frowned, it would have to be soon, she needed to gather her courage and tell him, show him. the upcoming festival was perfect. everyone was going to be there..and if he rejected her..she bit her lip, as she pushed that thought out of her mind. She just needed to focus on the positives.
"Is there something wrong?" at the sound of Shino's voice she found herself startled. She knew that she shouldn't be, she had seen him there, even stood beside him. She was apologetic immediately but wondered if he even noticed that gesture.
"N..No." She answered. he merely stared at her before resuming his watch of Kiba's antics, or as Shino so loving said, proof of his stupidity. "Wh..what did you n..need?" she asked timidly.
Shino returned to staring at her, even if he was her teammate, there were times when the both of them frightened her. They both had such strong personalities, while hers simply wasn't. "In regards to the festival." she answered.
"the festival?" she asked, while her mind mentally slapped itself. They went every year, ever since the four of them became teammates, she had forgotten . With that thought understood then why her teammates were simply staring at her in shock. "O..of course...I was merely....I" she went silent as she stared at her feet. "I was planning something special.." she stated quickly.
They looked at each other than at her. "Like what?" Kiba asked once he had separated himself from his reflection.
.....
Sakura looked at the two bottles, one for Sasuke and one for Naruto. Of course she would need to make sure that Naruto was looking at someone else, someone that defiantly wasn't her. she had an idea of who though, all she needed to do was make sure they were in the same area. Preferably facing each other. With a smile she went in search of Hinata.
....
Hinata sighed, she should have seen this coming. Of course they would drag her out to do something. If it wasn't one than it was the other, she only minded when she had to do something, or wanted some time alone.
"So there's this girl, she's after me. Says she's in love with me but I'm not really into her, though I can't complain she is kinda hot.." as Kiba spoke her mind wandered off. She couldn't let her determination faultier. She just needed to be strong, brave and have faith in herself.
"How do you..build up the courage to kiss someone?" the words left her mouth before she even realized she had thought them.
"Kiss..." Kiba blurted out. "What do you mean kiss..why would you even be asking about something like that!?" Hinata blinked, uncomfortable as suddenly she was being shaken. "You don't go kissing, that's a bad thing to do got it?" Hinata nodded, sometimes her teammates were scary, she had reasoned that whatever they did she was never allowed to do. that list especially if judged by Kiba was too long.
The shaking stopped when another pair of hands replaced Kiba's. she looked up, Shino wasn't even looking at her, just Kiba who was going into a rant about the difference between respectable girls and girls. "Shino-kun, when someone kissed you, did it mean anything?" she asked as she stared up at him. He finally looked at her, she waited for an answer, it seemed an eternity before he did.
"Matters that are personal, are not discussed." he answered she stared at him, than nodded. She didn't understand.
...
Sakura waited where she was certain Hinata would be. She had seen her here thousands of times, with and without her teammates, the majority with her teammates. She would wait though, for this she would.
....
Kiba stopped as Akamaru yipped at something. Kiba sniffed the air, than looked at his teammates. "Were we expecting someone?" Shino and Hinata shook their heads. "Than why is someone at out training spot?" Kiba asked, Akamaru barked out something that once again only Kiba could understand. "You're right, we can't keep a girl waiting." With that said Kiba and Akamaru led the walk to the training ground. Hinata once more looked at Shino who started walking, she followed.
....
Sakura waved once she saw Hinata, the wave gained attention. "Hinata-Chan!!"
"Why is she waving at you?" Kiba asked.
"Has something occurred?" Shino questioned.
"I..don't think so." she answered. the two of them stared at her, they were waiting for something. As if she'd magically given them an answer. "Did either of you.." she questioned.
"Hinata-Chan I want to speak with you!!" Sakura yelled as she waved her hand in a more dramatic way.
Hinata for a moment stopped breathing as her mind pulled out scenarios after scenario to throw at her.
Sakura smiled wide. "Naruto-kun proposed to me and I said yes!!" or Sakura stabs Hinata in the heart. "He loved me, pay the price for thinking otherwise!" or Sakura looks away from her, covering her eyes with her hands, "he killed himself after all my rejects, his lasts words were, finally I understand how pathetic Hinata really is, even now when I'm about to die, I don't like her." Sakura sobs into her hands. "At least he died with dignity!"
Hinata brought both hands to her chest, whatever she was thinking was nothing. Taking in a deep breath, Hinata waved back walking towards the pink haired girl.
Shino was about to follow when Akamaru stepped in front of him, and Kiba placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Sometimes you gotta let them grow up, and do things on heir own." Kiba stated with sarcasm. "Besides, I can hear them." Kiba reminded as he brought one pointed finger to his ear.
Sakura smile widened. "Hinata-Chan I have a question to ask you. How do you feel about Naruto?"
Hinata's mouth opened in shock. "I...I.."
Sakura smiled. "I have an idea, this idea will give us both what we want." Hinata stared at her, "I created a love potion."
"A love potion.." Hinata repeated. Kiba's eyes widened.
Sakura nodded, holding out her hand to Hinata. Hinata looked at the vial in Sakura's hand. It was a pale pink colored liquid. Carefully she took the vial, holding it carefully between her fingers.
"How.." she whispered. "This..no one has...where.." Hinata asked confused. Ever since she was young she had been interested in the medicine. She studied what she could from the medical books, her father had indulged her in, then with school and her teammates, her knowledge had grown. Enough to know that something like this was either candy flavored drugged water, just colored liquid or the real thing.
"Jiraiya." Sakura answered.
"You want me to give this to Naruto-kun.." Hinata whispered.
Sakura nodded. "Tomorrow at the festival, look for me." With that Sakura nodded and left. Hinata held the vial, simply staring at it.
"how.." she whispered.
Kiba who had been listening to this was amazed. A love potion, Hinata was going to give Naruto a love potion. Or it could be used, after all this to wreak some havoc on Shino. Kiba smirked, it was just in his nature to play games.
