Cracking a smile, Hinata suddenly felt a snap of self pity. She wished she could say she got stronger, but that would have been an overstatement. To her, she didn't think she became that much stronger. Hinata had improved some of her old jutsu's with her precise chakra control and she's worked on using the Byakugan more often. Some new techniques spring up now and then, but she didn't think they were really that strong compared to other's. "W-Well, you know, some of this and some of that. I've learned a couple, b-but nothing s-special."
Hinata shirked back a bit, feeling another wave of self pity hit her. She hasn't grown at ALL. Compared to Naruto, she was probably still that same little girl from before only with hair extensions. Laughing it off quietly, she thought of a way to fully celebrate his homecoming. "A-Ano, Naruto-kun, w-w-would you like to get s-something to e-eat at the I-Ichiraku?" she asked, building all the courage and boldness she has in her words.

Naruto smiled as Hinata Hesitated to tell him how well she was doing. He thought back to there missions before he left. He knew she was working on something only she could do but he couldn't remember the name of it at all. All he could really remember was that she had created an amazeing jutsu that saved him, Kiba and Shino once. He now wondered if she had ever mastered it.
"Well if your new jutsus are as amazeing as the one you did on the bug mission they you have gotten really strong Hinata." Naruto said smileing "But I wont lose to you." He teased.
Naruto then Realized how hungry he was when Hinata asked him to join her in the raman shop. He had come here to eat anyways so what would it hurt to eat with her? He was then stunned thought. Hinata had barly ever said anything to him before but now she was really talking to him. He gessed it was because she had gotten over being shy... well at least a bit.
"I'd love to eat with you." naruto said walking twords the Raman shops door.

"O-Okay..."
Hinata blushed slightly but stopped herself by pinching her arm to make sure it wasn't just a dream. 'Ow...' Nope. It was real. Forcing herself not to faint, she followed Naruto into the Ramen shop and sat down hesitantly next to him.
"A-Ano...M-Miso ramen, please." she ordered shyly.
She turned back to Naruto and smiled. She knew, scratch that, EVERYONE knew Naruto loved eating ramen. Hinata could only giggle slightly at the joyful look she imagined on Naruto's face when he could finally be reunited with the one and only Ichiraku Ramen. She was pretty sure that he was glad to be back in Konoha and visit all his old friends again.

Naruto had a huge smile on when he saw both the Waitress and the Owner. It has been a really long time sence they had seen him, and they seemed happy that he was back. Not only was he there best coustomer but he had helped them out many times before and they had become pretty close friends because of all the times they had talked. The Waitress took Hinata's order and then turned twords Naruto.
"So your finally back?" She asked Naruto "We have missed you here. In fact My dad has made a new Raman, but he wants you to try it first." She said winking and then turned twords the back and yelled for her dad.
Naruto smiled. Yet again someone missed him. He could of sworn that everyone would of forgot about him. His smile grew though when she told him about the new Raman. The Owners Raman was always the best in the world.

"S-See...?" Hinata accidentally stuttered out loud. She meant for it to stay in her mind, but it accidentally slipped. She couldn't help but smile (and blush) whenever Naruto was happy. Picking up her chopsticks, Hinata gave him another shy grin as she snapped it gently in half.
"S-See? I told y-you, everyone really missed you Naruto-kun." When the ramen finally arrived, she muttered a polite 'Itadikimasu' and began eating it. After all that training she did, it really built up an appetite. But Hinata was careful to eat in a polite manner, as she was taught being born in the main branch of the Hyuuga clan. It could only help, she guessed.
"I-I was afraid you might have d-disbelieved me when I t-told you th-that." she smiled softly.

Naruto smiled and looked at Hinata. When she said that she had told him so. She use to not say much at all, but now she had spoke yet again. He gessed that she was a little less shy than she was when she was younger. She use to only talk when she had to..... some times not even then. He was just about to say something when the Raman arrived.
Naruto broke his chop sticks and smiled as he said "Itadikimasu". He then started digging into his Raman like usuall. He ate a lot faster than Hinata did but he really didn't notice that at all. After about a mouthfull or three Hinata said something Naruto didn't hear. He was just about to swallow and then ask what she had said when the Owner came out from the back.
"Naruto.... where have you been?" The Owner asked him. He then looked from Naruto and to Hinata and had a big smile on his face. He looked like he was going to say something but before he could Naruto had answered him.
"Well I had been traveling the whole time i was out Training." Naruto said and then took a mouthfull of noodles before continuseing "I learned allot and saw allot but i missed my friends allot. I also missed this Raman. This really is the best in the world." He then started back into his Raman.
"I see so you have missed it that much?" The owner said as he smiled looking back at Hinata and then to him. "I see that you have grown in more ways than one. Your Raman is on the house." The owner paused and then added "Ofcourse your Girlfriends Raman here is free too."
Naruto almost choked on his Raman and blushed a really dark red. He didn't expect the owner to say that. He was so surprised he couldn't speak. So much for a shinobi not being cought off guard.

Hinata coughed as well, starting to choke unladylike on her ramen. So a gauging/choking frenzy seemed to start with the both of them red and in a life and death situation with their afternoon lunch. Losing breath, Hinata almost let her chair topple over but she held out a hand and caught herself from the counter before she did. She pounded on her chest slightly to help her breath again. Breathing in a deep breath of air, Hinata turned back to the owner of the Ichiraku Ramen Shop with a hesitated smile.
"A-Ano...I-I'm not r-really his girlfriend..." She stuttered out halfheartedly. It was clear that she seemed a bit disappointed but she hid it well enough. Hinata's face was still slightly red as she let the blush die down slowly.
"A-And you d-don't really have to. I c-can pay for i-it, really. It w-wouldn't be good for me to i-impose on s-someone." She said smiling shyly as she regained her posture. Hinata straightened out her jacket a bit, nervously, and picked up her chopsticks again (Where she has so 'cleverly' thrown into her bowl while saving herself from the dreaded noodes).
