The sun shined like never in the centenary Village Hidden within the Leaves. Birds chirp, leaves fly with the wind and the Hokage was at his office, working hard as always.

“AH!” Naruto complained with his hands pulling his hair. “Why do I have to read so many reports?”

“It’s your mission, you clumsy idiot.” Sasuke said, but it was interrupted by a knock on the door.

“Ryou-ou!” Brynhild entered with a big heart shaped box, so big that it had no logical explanation to justify how it passed through the door. “Happy Valentine’s Day, my cute, dashing and sexy king!” The dragoness’ little sisters appeared near her. “You have all made you this!”

“Valentine’s day?” Naruto took a while to remember. “NO! I completely forgot! I have to buy something for Hinata! Where am I going to find something for her?!” The Hokage was near a brain collapse. All the dragonesses made a sad face.

“We have all done this and you don’t even care about seeing what it is... How cruel, my King.” They cried. Naruto blushed a little.

“Ok. Show me what it is.” He asked. Sasuke was also curious.

“Ta-Da!” They showed a big dragon shaped chocolate with a heart made of strawberry. Naruto started to drool. “I knew you loved chocolate!”

“This is all for me?! Thank you!” He said, caressing their heads. “Sure you love your king.”

“Of course we do!” Skögul said.

“Ryou-ou is everything for us!” Bulga underlined.

“So, you have also offered Kaoru one of this?” Naruto asked, taking a strawberry and eating it.

“Yes!” They said and then left.

“So, Sasuke, have you send someone a card?” Naruto asked, making his friend blush. “To Sakura-chan?” Sasuke blushed even more. “He-eh! I wonder what she will say.”

“You should be more worried about getting Hinata a present.” Sasuke tried to change the subject, but Naruto grinned. “Don’t do that.”

“Hello!” Sakura and Shikamaru entered. “Oh! What a huge chocolate, Naruto! It covers your entire desk!”

“It will be impolite from you if you don’t offer us a piece.” Shikamaru mocked. Naruto send him an annoyed look. The chocolate tasted so well that he didn’t want to offer it. “I thought Ino hadn’t come here yet.”

“Ino? Why would she come here?” Naruto asked.

“She was chosen to be Konoha’s cupid. She will be the one to deliver the letters.” Sakura informed. “I wanted to get the place. Damn you, Ino-pig!”

“SAVE ME!!!” Shikaichi entered in a rush and jumped to his father’s arms. “Please daddy! Save me!”

“What happened?” Shikamaru was getting very worried, seeing how exhausted and nervous his child was.

“It’s her!” He cried. Sasuke got a bad feeling.

“Shikaichi! Where are you?” Chi entered in the room and noticed the blonde boy, smiling. “There you are.”

“NO! Get away from me!” Shikaichi panicked.

“Why? I just want to give you my S. Valentine’s present.” Chi said with a cute face. The little Uchiha had a heart slide in her head and her skirt had heart shaped lace-trimmed adornments.

“See, son. It’s not that bad.” Shikamaru calmed him down.

“No, it is! She tattooed her name in my butt cheek within a heart. See!” Shikaichi showed the tattoo. Shikamaru’s eye brow trembled a little and then he stared Chi.

“Chi, how many times have I told you Shikaichi it’s not your toy?” Sasuke reprehended. Chi lowered her head. “Now what will his father do? That thing can’t go out, you know? Go straight home and don’t leave your room!” Sasuke pointed and Chi left them. The Uchiha sighed. “Sorry, Shikamaru, Shikaichi.”

“My poor baby. How troublesome. Why did she have to love you? You got a woman even harder to deal with than mine.” Shikamaru sighed.

“Hello!” Ino entered. She was dressing a small and tight maid uniform with a heart in the chest. The woman had small angel wings and carried two giant bags. “I brought your lovers’ letters!” Ino put her hands in the bag and gave Shikamaru a card. “There you go.”

“How troublesome. It’s from Temari.” He said, reading it.

“Why is it troublesome, daddy?” Shikaichi asked.

“Because I haven’t wrote one for her. She will kick my butt as soon as I get home.” Shikamaru sighed. “But sure she has a gift with words.”

“Sakura. You got two letters!” Ino gave them. Sakura was caught by surprise.

“Two? I wonder you wrote them.” Sakura opened one and started reading. “When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary. When troubles come and my heart burdened me. Then I am still and wait here in the silent until you come and sit awhile with me. But when you come, and I’m filled with wonder... Sometimes I think I glimpse eternity. You raise me up so I can stand on mountains. You raise me up to walk on stormy seas. I’m strong when I’m on your shoulders. You raise me up to more than I can be.” (*”You Raise Me Up” from Brendan Graham and Rolf Lovland) Sakura smiled, a little blushed. “Kiba.” Sasuke lowered his eyes.

“Sure he watched Romeo x Juliet” Ino mocked, but Sakura ignored and opened the other letter. “From who it is?”

“I don’t know, it does not have a name or signature.” Sakura said and then blushed a lot. “Who-Who wrote this? It’s so... pretty...” Sasuke grinned, closing his eyes. “This one goes up to the one I love. This one goes up to the one I left behind. A simple poem, to make you breathe better. Here you are daylight's star, made out of miracles... Perfection. Of your own. You Alone. Oh so incredible! I'm somewhere else inside eternity where you on outstretched wings singing within my heart. Where memories call to me backward dreams? Or phantom reality? Call to me, they call to me. Eyes of pure deep azure... Quite unbelievable! The Spring's daughter. You've been made not to fade... Quite inconceivable! A love like ours... a cherry flower Through seasons and centuries... As rivers reach the sea I'll reach you with songs of your symmetry. Here we'll see Love's lost tree made out of miracles and emotions, with crystal leaves to cover me and you in eternity Each leaf sing to us through the wind ‘Love is a miracle’. I love you, Haruno Sakura.” (*Adapted from ”The Garden of Everything” sang by Maaya Sakamoto and Steve Conte)

“Why didn’t Sai wrote on of those to me?” Ino sighed, but then smiled. “He made a portrait of me and gave me a chocolate with the shape of the thing he loves the most.” Sakura made a weird face.

“It can’t be... I didn’t know they made penis shaped chocolate?” Sakura asked. Without knowing why, Naruto lost all the apatite he had to eat his chocolate. Ino blushed a lot.

“Sasuke-kun! Here is your mail.” Ino gave him one of the bags. All stared Sasuke dumbfounded.

“What?” Naruto was amazed. “How can you have so much mail?”

“What can I say?” Sasuke rose his shoulders and started reading the letters, hoping one was from Sakura. The medical Captain didn’t write to him, but got jealous when staring at the letters, soft toys and chocolates he got.

“These are for our Hokage.” Ino gave Naruto two postcards. The Dragon King blushed a little and read the card. As expected it was from Hinata. She wrote him a beautiful poem, making the Hokage blush. ‘Naruto-kun, we live for tomorrow, to start our lives again. Find me there within your heart, from our lovely ancient days. I will cover all of your sorrow and turn my heart into a song, and sing it all for you. Naruto-kun, Hope is the capacity to keep light within our hearts when we are surrounded by darkness. As long as you live within me and sing your song for me, I will never fear. I will continue to fight. For you... I will swam across the ocean blue and climb across the mountains peak and I will endure my clan’s pressure. Love sure is a weird thing... I never thought I could write things like these. Guess I was made for you after all. When I’m with you, everything looks like Heaven and life becomes a bigger blessing. Thank you. I love you, Naruto-kun.’ “That girl.” Naruto smiled with his face red.

“What? Is it that romantic?” Sakura asked, very curious.

“Sure it will make him feel worse for having not written one for her.” Sasuke remembered. Naruto closed his eyes, sighing. ‘I will never come out with something as beautiful as this. What can I do?’ He thought.

“Well, I got another.” Naruto opened it and his face got blue.

“What?” Shikamaru asked. Naruto slowly looked at Sasuke.

“I-It can’t be...” Naruto knit his brows. “Why have you wrote me a Valentine’s day postcard, Sasuke!?” Ino and Sakura blushed.

“Isn’t that obvious?! Because the author loves NaruSasu. It would be stupid if you didn’t get a card from me.” Sasuke explained.

“Yeah, but why are you asking me to have sex?” Naruto asked. Sasuke got near him, making Naruto blush.

“You will see in the next chapters.” Sasuke grinned.

“Do you still have more letters to deliver, Ino?” Shikamaru asked. Ino sighed.

“Luckily, Sasuke-kun was the last big deliver I had to make. So now it’s only one card for person.” Ino explained.

“’Last’? What are you trying to say?” Sakura asked.

“I delivered another bag like that at the Great Maaya’s door... God, she is popular.” Ino sighed.

...

At Maaya’s house gate, Neji, Hinata and Lee were waiting for the Hyuuga boy to win courage enough to ring the bell.

“Brother Neji, you have already wrote a card... Ah...” Hinata said, trying to calm her cousin down, but it was not working. Neji was holding a bouquet of red roses.

“Neji, you have to deliver those flowers!” Lee encouraged. “Remember she is the love of your life. Like my beautiful Shouko!” Lee took out a picture of his girlfriend from the pocket. “Shouko-san! You are a true lotus lower. So pretty and innocent.” Neji sighed.

“Well, let’s do this.” Neji said and rang the bell. “If she starts throwing things at me, you better ran. Otherwise it will also hit you.”

“OH! So we have also come to train! I see... so that’s how you are so strong, Neji!” Lee’s eyes started to burn. Hinata smiled and then looked at the Hokage’s moment. ‘Did Naruto-kun receive my letter? I wonder what he thought about it...’

Inside the house, Maaya was reading the piles of cards she got, with her baby at her lap.

“See this one, Suzaku! This one says mommy is the Sun of his life. It’s the third time I read this. Men of these days lack imagination.” She sighed. Her baby stared at her with his white eyes. “Oh! Where have all the good men go and where are all the gods? Isn’t there a white knight upon a white horse?” She heard the bell. “No way!” Maaya got up and went to the gate with Suzaku on her arms. “Yes?”

“Ma-Maaya...” Neji smiled. She made an annoyed look. “I-I brought you some flowers.”

“What? Just one bouquet? Are you mocking with me?” Maaya said and invited them in, showing her huge garden filled with thousands of bouquets. Neji’s rose lost their petals. “Why would I care about your roses, when I have a garden of them?” Hinata noticed she was only teasing Neji to make him feel worse. “I’m awesome!”

“Oh! The Great Maaya! Give me your autograph!” Lee asked and she wrote.

“You’re not helping, Lee...” Neji sighed.

“Do you want one autograph from Suzaku too?” Maaya showed her baby.

“Maaya... my flowers...” Neji started. She looked at him. “They...”

“Neji’s flowers are filled with the Power of Youth! They will make you feel alive and you will shine even more!” Lee finished. Maaya smiled.

“I will not fall into that Power of the Youth shit again.” Maaya said. “I fell for it once I got myself pregnant.” Neji went near her and grabbed her arm.

“But you liked it... my Power of the Youth...” Neji whispered, making Maaya blush. He crossed his arms around her. “I was supposed to leave tonight for a mission... I can spend it with you and Suzaku. Ah? What do you say?”

“What makes you think I will accept?” Maaya asked.

“Because if you say not I will show to the world that photo of you with your finger inside your nose.” Neji mocked. Maaya’s face lost colours. How humiliating could that be for her? Her precious image exposed like that. “I can see your fans running from you.”

“I never thought a noble guy like you would do something so low.” Maaya said, much blushed. Neji pulled her neckband with his finger.

“I can go lower if you want to; after all, this is a Saint Valentine’s special.” Neji smiled. Suzaku smiled to him, rising his hand at his father. “See, even Suzaku agrees.” Maaya shout smoke from her nostrils.

“Ok. I will let you enter, but just to have a cup of coffee.”

Of course it was more than a cup of coffee...

...

Hinata was walking in the streets, taking Lee home.

“So, you and Neji was supposed to be on a mission today?” Lee asked.

“Yes, it’s a fake mission for plot proposes.” Hinata explained. “Well, thank you for coming with me and Neji to see Maaya-san.” She made a bow and waited for Lee to enter his house. The Hyuuga Great Leader was looking at the Hokage’s monument. “I wonder... if Naruto-kun bought me something...”

In his house, Naruto was thinking about what to offer Hinata, while Kaoru was eating the chocolate.

“WHY CAN’T I THINK ABOUT SOMETHING COOL?!” Naruto screamed in despair. Kaoru stared him.

“Why don’t you try to offer her some rare flowers and sing something for her. Reignfield loved when I sang for her.” Kaoru said.

“I suck at singing.” Naruto confessed, with his head on the table.

“Natural Selection, why have you favoured stupidity instead of a beautiful voice?” Kaoru asked and sighed. Naruto send him a bad look. “What about a dinner under candle lights?”

“A dinner?” Naruto asked, thinking it could be good.

“Why not? The dragonesses are in the Kouryou Castle. Ask them to make a meal for you and Hinata. I have to go to Chi’s birthday party anyway.” Kaoru said.

“That’s right. Ramen under the candle light.” Naruto imagined.

“Ramen again? Really, have you ever asked if Hinata loved Ramen? Make something different.” Kaoru complained.

“Ok! Now, I have to kidnap her!” Naruto said, making a glorious pose.

In the middle of Konoha streets, Hinata was staring at the glass of some shops, seeing the cute kimonos it had.

“That one is cute.” She said.

“Hyuuga Hinata, I presume.” Coca appeared behind her. Hinata jumped scared. “I have orders to take you with me.” The Dragon Queen tail surrounded Hinata and in seconds they were in the castle.

“This is...” Hinata recognized the place and noticed a beautiful table, adorned with Saint Valentine’s hearts and pink dishes.

“Hello, Hinata!” Naruto appeared behind her, hugging the woman. “I’m happy you have come.”

“You didn’t give me much choice.” Hinata said. “Coca-sama kidnapped me!”

“That was the intention!” Naruto kissed Hinata, making her blush. “So, do you want to join me for dinner?” He asked. Hinata smiled.

“DINNER!” All the dragonesses, even the big ones, jumped at the table, eating everything. Naruto’s face lost its colours.

“My-my-my-my... MY PERFECT DINNER!” Naruto ran near them. “That food was for me and Hinata. How could you eat it all?”

“We are dragons.” One said.

“We have to eat a lot, Ryou-ou!”

“No...” Naruto fell in the ground. “Now what...”

“Being in your company is enough, Naruto-kun. I don’t need a lavish meal.” Hinata said, helping Naruto getting up.

“Yes, but... I couldn’t think about something to offer you.” Naruto confessed, feeling a little sad. “I love Hinata so much, that I end up thinking everything I will buy would look stupid and small...”

“Oh, Naruto-kun.” Hinata hugged him. “You are the best present I could ever had.” The Hokage felt a little better, but then he heard Hinata’s belly making some noises.

“Guess being the best present doesn’t kill your hunger.” Naruto said. “Ok, you dinner destroyers, cook something good for me and my lover.”

The Hokage took Hinata to the hot springs. The two took their clothes out and were cleaning each other and kissing too.

“Ah! Luckily we can see the sky from here.” Naruto said. “Look! A shooting star! Make a wish!” The two closed their eyes, wishing.

“So, what have you wished for?” Hinata asked.

“Me? I wished for a better taste at choosing presents.” Naruto said, making Hinata send him a bad look. “What?”

“You should have asked for a baby! Baby!” Hinata remembered him. “That would be a good present!” Naruto started laughing. “What?”

“Do you really thought I would ask for a something as a better taste?” He asked. Hinata blushed.

“Then... what have you asked?” Hinata asked, curious. Naruto put himself above her, laying her in the stones. The Great Lord blushed a lot, feeling Naruto caressing her leg.

“To be here next here... like this... with you.” He confessed. Hinata smiled and closed her eyes. The two kissed each other.

“Ryou-ou, your dinner is ready! Meat Balls!” Skögul said.

“Meat Balls?” Naruto remembered only Kaoru liked meat balls. “Why?”

“Don’t worry, Naruto-kun. They made it with love.” Hinata said.

“Ok...” He sighed. ‘I knew I should have taken Hinata to the Ichiraku Ramen and then to a hotel.’

“Besides. Today is Saint Valentine’s day. The better part it’s not the dinner, but what comes next.” Skögul said. Naruto and Hinata blushed a lot. “We adorned the King’s bedroom. I hope you like it!”
