"Strange, isn't it?" Kiba asked. "What is?" Shino wanted to know. "Well, it's already been a year ago since Team Kakashi has been mixed up with the other teams and that Naruto came with us. Today it's preciecly one yoar ago he came in our team and Kurenai-sensei left." Kiba explained. "Already a year? That's gone fast." Shino said. "Speaking of Naruto; Where is he?"

{At Konoha's Hospital}

"Tsunade-saama! Tsunade-saama!!" Naruto yelled through the hallway. "Sheez, Naruto. This is a hospital. No yelling, please." Tsunade said to him, while taking him to an examine room. When they got there Tsunade asked what was going on, and Naruto explained: "Tsunade-saama, I think I become ill. Almost everyday I got this strange feeling like something is moving in my stomach. I can't eat much while I'm still hungry and I got these weird dreams about me and a longhaired girl, where I can't see the face off. And that's going on for more then a year now. I probably should've come earlier, but I thought it should get away after awhile. But now it still is there!! You must tell me what's going on, Tsunade-saama." Naruto said a bit panicking. Tsunade just looked at him with a smile which meant she already knew what was going on. With that same smile she asked: "On which times excectly do you have these feelings?" "Everyday. But they're the strongest while trainingsessions with my team and missions with them. Do you think I might be allergic for dogfur or something? Becouse that Akamaru sure looses alot of hair sometimes." Naruto said. "No no, I don't think you're allergic. I think it's worse, much more worse." Tsunade said still smiling. "What is it then?" Naruto wanted to know. "Naruto you're..." she said starting to laugh outloud "You're in love!" That wasn't what Naruto expected to hear, so he stood there completely stunned, not knowing what to say. Eventually he said almost whispering "I'm....I'm in lo-love? With who? And why didn't I know it?" "Well, how should I know? I only know those symptems you discribed are from someone in love, and it's to you to find out with who." Tsunade said "And now get out, becouse I got some patients waiting that really are sick, so SHOO!" she said while pushing him outside. Still a bit bewildered, Naruto started to walk to the traininggrounds while thinking who it was that he is in love with.

{In front of the hospital}

"What the hell are you doing!?!" The voice of Sakura went trhough the air. She stood right infront of Sasuke, who just wanted to give her a kiss. "I'm trying to kiss you." He said a bit confused. "Why?" She asked him "I told you. I've fallen in love with you." He answered with a blush. "Well, that's nice but uhm...." Was everything what Sakura could bring out. Sasuke finished her sentence "You're not in love with me anymore, right?" He said a bit sad. "No, sorry. I'm not in love with you anymore since..." Sakura started but didn't finished. Sasuke knew what she was talking about.

>It happened almost 5 years ago; Team Kakashi included Sai and Yamato had found him inside one of Orochimaru's hideouts. But Sasuke had changed, too much apparently. They saw him killing Orochimaru, Kabuto and most of the sound nins around him. But Sasuke wasn't himself that day. He was in a state of rage, and wasn't been stopped untill Naruto mengled in. Before Naruto was able to stop him, Sasuke already had done the damage. He didn't only attack the sounds, but also the whole team of 5 Konoha-nins. Since that day he was back in Konoha but the trust in him was gone by the most people. Only the rookie-nine and the elderly jounins were able to trust him after he had proved himself trustable. Now they were 5 years later, and the rookienine were 22 years old. And Sakura had rejected him.<

"Sasuke, I do trust you for the most part. But it's not enough to stay in love with you" Sakura explained. "Don't worry, I understand. I missed my change when you tried to stop me from going to the villege hidden in the sound. I get it." he said a bit down. Sakura nodded of agreement. "But can I ask you something?" Sasuke contineud. "Sure, what is it?" "Are you in love with somebody else?" "Actually I am. But I'm not going to tell you who." Sakura said with a blush on her cheeks. "Don't worry, I won't make you tell if you don't want to. Well, I need to go to my training. My team is waiting." Sasuke said before disappearing, leaving Sakura behind.

"You're not in love with Sasuke anymore?" Naruto asked her, while coming out of the hospital. "Oh hi Naruto, long time no see. How are you doing?" Sakura said, not responding on the question. "I'm fine. And according to Tsunade I'm in love. The problem is I don't know who it is." Naruto said a bit sulking. "Well, that being in love part we have in common. That not knowing who it is, that's only with you. I'll see you around. I have to go to my work now. If I'm getting late, Tsunade-saama will kill me." she said before walking to the hospital doors. "kay, see ya." Naruto said to her. He started to walk again towards the traininggrounds, again with the question in his head; "Who is it I'm in love with?"

{Back at the traininggrounds}

"I can't believe you took it!" Hinata yelled at Kiba. "How dare you to take it with you, and even read it!" she started to get angy. "It's not my fault it was just lying there." Kiba said to her. "It was lying on my desk, in my room!!! That's private area for you!" she yelled at him "So give it back, or I'll hurt you!" "No no, not yet. First I'm gonna read this to Naruto. I'm sure he's interrested in what you write about him in your diary." Kiba said teasing. Hinata started to blush "You don't d-dare t-that." she said nervous. "Oh I dare it." Kiba said with a smile. "Kiba, just give it back okay?" Shino said calm, not really trying hard. "Maybe I will, maybe I will not." Kiba said with that same teasing smile.
Naruto saw the scene infront of him, just behind a tree. He wasn't noticed by his since-a-year-teammates. He just stood there and watched the scene. Kiba opened the little black book and started to read on a random page. "Dear Diary, today I've came back from a mission together with Shino, Kiba and Naruto-kun. We went searching for a bug who has the ability to sence a scent and follow it everywhere. That's how we were trying to find Sasuke back. However we did find that bug but weren't able to put the right scent on it...." He stopped reading for a moment and you could see Hinata stanging completely frozen and red of shame.
Kiba started to read again; "...When we made a camp next to a waterfall, I went training in the night with the water. While I was training I was spotted by Naruto-kun, only he didn't recognize me. When I heard him (he was fallen into the water) I quikly went away out of the water and hide myself. The next day Naruto-kun was telling Kiba that he saw a beautiful girl in the water. Can you believe that? Naruto-kun called me beautiful...." Kiba looked at his teammate and started to search for another part. Naruto looked at Hinata and was worried about what he saw. She was as red as a tomata but weren't moving. If he didn't knew better he should've said she stood there fainted. But she was still a bit trembling, maybe of angry maybe of being ashamed. Naruto didn't know. All he knew was that he felt more sorry for her at the minute, but also wanted to know more about what she has wrote about him. > What is this for weird feeling?< He thought by himself >It's like I want to help her, and also want to know what she thinks of me at the same time.<
kiba started to read again. "Dear Diary, blablablablabla, something about a mission,..... Ah here it is!" Kiba said as he found what he was looking for. "....Today it was the first time Naruto trained with us as an official member of our team. I thought I was dying of my blushing. I'm really excited to get to know him better now he's in our team. (Maybe in awhile I will be able to tell him what I feel for him.) But as the training was about to end, something strange happened. I probably have seen it wrong, but he was falling to my side and I could swear that I've seen him blush. Or maybe it was just me. Oh I really do hope I get the courage soon to tell him what he means to me....to tell him that I really like him....no not just liking, that I love him...." Kiba stopped and his face changed. Instead of a teasing face, he now got a serious face. "Wow, Hinata. I didn't knew that you liked him THAT much." he said with a soft calm voice. Hinata got angry again "WELL, NOW YOU DO!!! NOW GIVE ME BACK MY DIARY!!!!!!" she yelled at him.
As she was trying to get her book back in a state of angyness, Kiba didn't let her get it. Naruto now got angry too. why? He did now know. As he had listened to Kiba and looked at Hinata, he finally understood who it was where he was in love with; her. Hyuuga Hinata, the heir of the Hyuugaclan, the one that was always kind to him even when nowone was, the girl he had worked with now for a year and even before that shared some missions. > What stupid of me not to notice it< He blaimed himself. Naruto got a kunai in his hands and threw it to Kiba. Not to hit him, but to let him know he was there. The kunai landed right infront of Kiba and the 3 of them (KIba, Hinata & Shino) looked where it came from. Naruto stepped away from behind the tree, and with his serious and angry looking face he said to Kiba: "Let that diary go, or you'll be sorry about it." Kiba looked at him and said a bit shocked. "S-s-sure" and he handed the book to Hinata. Hinata, on the other hand,didn't take it. As she looked at Naruto she understanded that he had been hearing Kiba reading those thing from HER diary. She turned red again, but now she also felt some tears welling up inside her eyes. >Stupid, stupid, stupid.< She thought by herself. Instead of taking the diary, she closed her eyes to trying to stop the tears coming and ran away. Feeling too ashamed for even say 'goodbye' before leaving. Naruto didn't get why she did that, and with a concerned look and voice he yelled at her to come back. But she didn't came back.
