A.N.

Finally, Christmas Eve is here as well as an update! Sorry for the wait.

Been busy with exams and other personal matters. But now, I will work on finishing this story. Only a few chapters left!

Hope you enjoy! ❤️💚

Hinata's P.O.V

The trip from my home to the villa took lots and lots of time just as Kakashi first said. Many times, Hanabi and I munched on snacks, took naps, and watched TV, to keep ourselves busy.

Of course, I had my phone with me which I used to take pictures and videos of my surroundings. I was told however not to contact anyone so, I did not. So I only used my phone to capture the moment forever and ever. I didn't want to just solely rely on my eyes to take in everything. So I used my phone like crazy.

Father slept most of the time which revealed how exhausted he was from working long hours at his job. I smiled faintly at the sight of his peaceful face from afar, my face brightened.

I hope you relax well, father.

He deserves this, just as much as I do.

But as hours passed by and the sun steadily crept down, suddenly a voice flooded the quiet car, speaking words that made me both excited and also nervous at the same time.

"We now have twenty minutes before arriving at the villa," Kakashi announced from the front of the limo where he was sitting the entire time. But not once did he give in to sleep. Not once did he even allow his eyes or well, eye, to close.

Hell, not a bit of exhaustion could be detected from his voice which indicated that his words from before were true.

The Heat Wave band members are really used to traveling long distances like this. I could never.

It was so time consuming and boring. The same event with us sitting within a moving car seemed to stretch on for eternity. This part of our journey, I disliked. But the environment inside the limo made everything so much better.

But before I knew it, twenty minutes passed and soon we were finally arriving up to our designation, Kakashi's voice arising again.

"Ms, Hyuga. We've finally made it. Welcome... to your happy place."

Instantly, Hanabi and I rushed to look at the window behind us and immediately we were met with a tall, exquisite house, a sight I have never seen before with my own two eyes.

My mouth dropped as we rode onto an elegant white path which was lined up by pleasant trees decorated with blooming flowers of all colors. Fountains were placed about with different animal-like statues standing in the middle of them, all presented tall in the sky, water shooting upward from the elegant object. The environment was absolutely gorgeous. I felt like I was in some kind of movie.

My mouth was gaped the entire time, hanging wide open. I was at a loss for words. I couldn't say anything. I only looked.

The more the limo rode onward, down the pretty bricked path, the more the mansion was revealed to us. I looked everywhere, my lavender eyes darting over to the building.

The villa we will be staying in.

The entire building was colored a peach color, a bunch of pillars presented to us which held up many of the grand walls and round roofs that made and held up the large house.

And as we finally made it to the front of the house, I saw a beautiful garden where more flowers of all kinds were grown and sprouted, leaving a positive vibe in the air. The decorations that were placed in the yard of the mansion did a really great job pulling me in. I couldn't keep my eyes away.

But the more the limo started to drive onward, the more of the house I was able to see, and soon, I could see the very entrance. And there, I saw four highly familiar individuals standing with remarkable tuxes on which blinged and twinkled in the sun.

Each male had their eyes directed on our vehicle as we rode closer and closer to the front of the house, still following the grand pathway the villa had. I threw my hand up to cover my mouth as I spotted the members of the Heat Wave band actually here, waiting for me.

Waiting, just for me.

I swore I almost fainted.

"O-Oh my gosh. This can't be real. This can't." I whispered but it was, because their appearances were only getting closer and more distinctive as the vehicle pressed onward, positive smiles found on their handsome faces.

I whimpered, trying to hold back my happy tears at the wondrous sight before me. So instead, I moved to distract myself. I began to look around at the entrance of the villa where I then saw a large and colorful banner hung across the entrance of the house, reading:

Congratulations, Hinata Hyuga!

And just from that, just from seeing my own name presented so boldly and grandly before me, happy tears began to form in the cracks of my eyes, my nose sniffing back such substance. I don't want to ruin my makeup but the emotions I felt were too overwhelming.

Hanabi on the other hand screeched loudly in joy, so loud the sound managed to wake father up from his slumber. But she was oblivious to such a thing. She was too distracted by the beauty in front of us to notice.

She rushed over to me from her seat and gripped my arm tightly, wrapping her small fingers around my pale skin.

"Onee-san! Onee-san! Are you seeing this? This, is what we will be living in for an entire month? Are you kidding me?" She screeched out in pure excitement, her entire face expressing the positive emotion.

Her hands were gripping me tightly, her fingertips pressing into my skin which revealed all the pent-up emotion her little body was feeling. It was truly a funny sight to see. I couldn't contain my laughter.

I giggled, nodding my head at her. "Yes, we are Hanabi. I can't believe it either. It's so wonderful. It's like we're living in a dream."

"We're here, already?" A gruff voice erupted from behind me within the limo which alerted both Hanabi and me, our bodies twisting around towards the sudden noise.

Father, now awake, looked around the limo with a startled look on his face, his eyes constantly blinking, trying desperately to adjust to the lights around him.

I giggled once more by seeing him awake and also by his earlier question. "Father, we have arrived. It took us six hours to get here. You were sleeping the entire time." I acknowledge with a faint smile on my face, my happy eyes rooted over toward his slouched form some ways beside me.

His eyebrows shot up at my response, his ears picking up only one thing. "Six hours? I was asleep for that long?" He screeched and both of us, Hanabi and I, nodded our heads, trying to contain our laughter.

"Yep, father. Afraid so. But don't worry. Now you don't have to wait because we're here!" Hanabi commented while pumping her two fists into the air and waving them side to side, expressing how excited she now was.

And surprisingly, it made father chuckle, his arms pushing himself up so he wasn't slouching. From there, he slowly made his way over to our window so he could catch a look at our new designation as well. But just like us, he was hit with shock from the scenery of the outdoors.

"Oh, my kami!" He exclaimed with his mouth gaped, his white eyes taking in our second home and all its entirety, the limo slowly coming to a stop in front of it.

From there, I could now see all four of the famous rock stars who were patiently waiting for me, before the huge villa on nicely cut green grass.

Also, I could see a group of men and women to my left a little ways beside the band members with microphones and cameras in hands, dresses, and tuxedos on their bodies. All of their eyes were directed on the vehicle which had just parked itself on the large lot which the villa possessed, my eyes staring back at them.

I'm guessing those people are the paparazzi.

Once again, I grew a little nervous. I knew what was to come but just thinking back to what Kakashi said just gave me the chills.

I will be announced as the winner on national television. I will talk to the paparazzi for the first time.

This is insane!

My emotions were literally everywhere, I began to rub my hands together in a fit of anxiousness, my teeth moving to bite down on my bottom lip.

Come on Hinata. Don't freak out now. You're finally here. Your dream has finally come true.

Once again I felt as though everything was beginning to overwhelm me which resulted in me feeling faint again, highly nauseated.

But I held it together the best I could, just using my teeth to bite my bottom lip just enough to cause me pain, snapping me out of such a sickly state.

The bite wasn't strong enough to draw blood but just enough to summon a jolt of pain through my body in order to get a hold of my senses again, my pink-colored lips parting afterward.

My father and sister were steadily looking outside at the grand house we were parked by to even notice the battle I was having with myself, a shuffle erupting through the vehicle which was located towards the front.

"Ms. Hyuga! The Heat Wave Band is ready for you now!" Kakashi suddenly shouted from the front of the long vehicle, alerting all three of us. My eyes shot wide upon his words and I watched through the glass window as the men upfront slowly left the vehicle, opening their door to instead make their way to the back of the limo, where we were located.

Speechless and in a nervous wreck, I stared upon the door as a bodyguard slowly approached it, to open it up wide, letting in the bright sun from outside. A hand shot inside right afterward. It then gestured me forward.

"Ms. Hyuga?" A deep voice asked, encouraging me to leave my spot and to exit the vehicle. But it took so much courage to move from my spot and outside, my body trembling from all the emotions attacking it.

For a moment, I only sat frozen upon the leather seats of the limo, my lavender eyes constantly glued upon the gloved hand directed towards me. The stoic man frowned in response at the sight of my unmoving form, Hanabi watching nervously.

She moved her hands forward to encourage me to leave, waving them back and forth. "Hinata, it's time to leave and go meet the famous band you favor. Isn't this what you wanted?" She asked in concern, my ears also detecting confusion laced in her voice. I whimpered, her words instantly waking me up. It made me realize something.

Hanabi's right.

This is exactly what I've been wishing for.

So why am I hesitating? Why am I resisting? Why am I not experiencing my dream to the fullest?

I am being totally ridiculous.

So with that new thought in mind, I managed to rise from my seat to work my way towards the exit where the bodyguard was still waiting for me, his hand lying outstretched all the while.

But I didn't leave the vehicle without giving my little sister a thankful smile, the gesture showing her all the gratitude I felt. She smiled brightly back.

With a delicate hand, I soon placed it on the rough hand that was directed towards me, grabbing it tightly. With it, I was escorted out of the long vehicle to stand on the summer green grass where I was soon presented to all.

My elegant teen self was shown to everyone that was standing in the area, my long dress sprouting from my short, but petite frame. I looked up hesitantly, locking eyes on the eight important pairs of eyes that stared happily back at me.

With one hand, I pulled it up and hovered it over my eyes, shielding them from the bright sun that shone above me, finally harassing me with its intense heat. Seeing as I was kept away within the great confines of the limo for so long, I hadn't known the sun was now shining fiercer than it was this morning.

It was scorching!

Along with the hot sun, the wind blew along briskly, whipping through my dress as I turned to look up at my idols who stared, star-struck, back at me, all of their eyes widening.

My own eyes did the same, actually, I felt as though they were gonna fall out of their sockets at the sight of the men presented in front of me, standing lined up, side by side. But their attention was solely placed upon me and they looked speechless.

It honestly felt like time had stopped as I looked back at The Heat Wave Band and really took in each of their appearances.

Naruto, was the first person I looked over and I saw that his gorgeous blue eyes were held on me, his mouth gaped. His tan skin looked even more flawless now that I get to see it in real life, his body quite broad and buff within his shiny gold suit. I smiled bright and wide at the sight of him, there, before me in person, my entire body frozen before the limo doors.

And I watched, delighted, as the blonde I had my eyes on smiled back, our eyes locked in a staring contest almost. His smile was so boyish but supreme, it lit my entire world and brought me straight out of my trance.

I shook my head, snatching my eyes away from the handsome man across from me to collect myself.

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!

They're here. In front of me! The Heat Wave band!

Naruto s-s-smiled at me!

I felt like fainting. I felt like screaming at the top of my lungs as I stood frozen before the limo, the bodyguards busy helping Hanabi and my father out of the vehicle.

Kakashi stood on the sidelines and just watched as I steadily took in my new environment, many eyes rooted on my flabbergasted form.

I opened my mouth several times, trying to find my voice but it seemed it was nonexistent. I was so nervous but excited all at the same time.

This is overwhelming.

And Kakashi noticed.

He cleared his throat from where he stood and quickly began to jog over towards me, to give me company during my journey over to the HeatWave Band.

Surprisingly, the paparazzi were all calm and collected as they stood in their corner in front of the massive villa, their eyes tracking my every movement. Usually, from what the television shows, they would be more out of control but now they are not.

But even still, their constant stares made my nervousness increase even more. So, I chose to lean on Kakashi for help. He has been an absolute angel so far, so I see no harm in placing my trust in him.

He jogged his way over to my spot and slipped himself behind me, placing a delicate hand on my lower back to guide me forward. "It's okay. You're okay, Ms. Hyuga. I know how nervous you must feel and we all understand completely. But, do not fret. We will not look down upon you, Ms. Hyuga. You have no reason to fear. We all are going to grant you with open arms. Just as I accepted you, the members of The Heat Wave Band will be more than happy to, as well. " Kakashi's words were nothing but bright and positive, sincere and honest. His tone of voice was soft and mellow which set me in a peaceful mood. A mood where it felt really nice to feel, a great contrast to my earlier nerve-racking mood. I felt as though I could trust his words.

Instantly, Kakashi brought a large smile to my face and courage to my heart.

I felt better.

So, I gave him a thankful nod, turning his way to give him a positive smile. "Thank you, Mr. Hatake. I truly appreciate that." I responded back cheekily while walking forward.

My feet which bore heels took me across the green grass unsteadily causing my body to wobble about. But with the help of Kakashi, I managed to keep my composure. And from there, I made my way from the limo and instead, in front of the four HeatWave members to personally meet them, just as planned.

Kakashi chuckled, sending a pat to my shoulder. "No problem, kiddo." He chuckled out, remaining by my side.

The bodyguards from before were also busy escorting my family, Hanabi, and my father forward, away from the limo and instead towards the main attraction.

The Heat Wave Band.

Stepping up in front of them, I began to blush like I've never done before, my body standing right in front of Naruto and Sasuke who both wore expensive tuxedos that shined and sparkled in the sun.

Sasuke honestly looked unreal as he stood before me on my right. His pale skin was so smooth and perfect, not a blemish or deformity found anywhere.

No.

His skin was flawless and pristine. It was something I had never seen before in my entire life from anyone.

Oh my goodness, these men are gods!

I blinked a bit, nervously looking away from Sasuke seeing I was beginning to stare at him. Instead, I looked at the first member of the band, the leader, who began to approach me with one hand extended, a happy grin on the young male's face.

"Hinata, Hyuga! Our contest winner! It's such a pleasure to finally meet you!" Naruto was super playful and excited as he went about greeting me, one of my hands moving up so I could shake his extended one. But as soon as I held his hand in mine, nothing but goosebumps began to travel all over my body, his large, warm hand now engulfed within my smaller one.

I-I'm holding Naruto's hand!

Oh my gosh!

Hesitantly, I gave the male I adored, a smile, a large blush taking over my makeup-covered face. "Naruto, Uzumaki, it's an honor t-to stand i-in front of you. I cannot believe I would ever meet you, i-in person. Oh kami, I'm so nervous."

The blonde male chuckled at my timid response, shaking his head. And with his other hand, he pulled it over to place it gently on my shoulder, giving it a pat which increased the size of my blush. "Oh, you don't have to be nervous, sweetheart. We appreciate you and already think you're quite the gal."

"R-Really?"

Naruto along with the other men that stood lined up beside him nodded excitedly.

Kiba, the male at the end of the line, threw a thumbs up, a giddy smile on his face. "Oh yeah, you are. I see you're a fine young lady with class. You'll fit in with us, no problem." He announced in all honesty which made my smile grow wider, a warmth settling within my chest. I felt better, more confident by Kiba's words.

I, fit in with the Heat Wave Band?

I couldn't believe it at all. But hearing it from Kiba's mouth, I was convinced of the statement.

Now, I was more comfortable and I began to shake Naruto's hand with more confidence, his blue eyes rooted on me the entire time, taking in my appearance up close.

I giggled. "Well, I'm looking forward to spending time with you, Naruto.

"Likewise, honey."

From there, I began to shake each of the band members' hands while giving them a heartfelt smile, appreciated, to say the least to stand in their presence.

And in return, I was given smiles from them, a positive look that was directed to me and only me.

Oh, I just feel so special.

I shook Sasuke's hand, then Shikamaru's, then Kiba's, all three men greeting me in a way that made me even more comfortable.

"Glad to meet you, Ms. Hyuga. I hope you enjoy your stay." ~Sasuke Uchiha

"Nice to see a sleek young woman such as yourself. You look stunning." ~Shikamaru Nara.

"Hiya, Hinata! I'm so excited for what this month has in store for all of us! I'm ready to rock out!" ~Kiba Inuzuka.

After meeting the band was all done, I was then partnered up with Uzumaki Naruto to stand before the paparazzi to finally announce that I, was the winner of their contest.

Walking side by side with the leader of the band I loved, I couldn't help but feel nervous, my lavender eyes glancing at his alluring appearance as we traveled away from the rest of the band members to instead stand directly in front of the villa.

My father and sister watched from afar as they stood beside Kakashi, proud smiles on their faces as I walked along the yard to only be bombarded by paparazzi, just like a celebrity would.

Cameras, lights, microphones, and questions were suddenly popping up, steadily thrown about as the many people I saw before on the lawn rush up to me and Naruto, who seemed awfully relaxed. The blonde rockstar glanced down at me and smiled, giving me a thumbs up.

"Now let's show the world what you've accomplished, Hinata Hyuga." He whispered out while gazing down at me, his pretty blue eyes twinkling from the sun's rays reflecting off of it.

I could've sworn my heart stopped and my insides melted by such a dreamy look directed at me from my idol, my body wobbling in front of him and the paparazzi.

But I managed to hold myself together and from there, I answered back, giving the famous rockstar beside me a nod.

"Y-Yes. I'm ready, to tell the world."

***

The entire time I was on camera, I could feel my body shaking. Never before have I ever thought I would be in a position where I would be seen by all on national tv.

But here I am, on TV, right beside my idol.

Paparazzi threw numerous questions my way which were ones I had to answer fast. My voice was shaky. My palms were sweaty. My stomach was filled with butterflies.

I was so, so nervous.

But Naruto never left my side. He helped me throughout the entire process and as a result, my special moment was captured beautifully. I was able to tell the world I won The Heat Wave Band's very first contest ever. I told everyone that I am the lucky person to win a four-week trip with Naruto and his famous band. And saying such words out loud felt surreal.

The interview between Naruto and I took quite a while, forty-five minutes to be exact.

But afterward, the paparazzi were escorted away by The HeatWave band's bodyguards and I was told to follow Naruto around the villa because next, a tour of the place was going to be given to me and my family. The other band members went elsewhere, somewhere I didn't know. I was too entranced by the tour to even notice them leaving.

The villa before us was the place we were going to stay in for an entire month which was something I still couldn't believe.

I must be dreaming!

I was so happy as I followed my sexy idol around the villa who pointed here and there and everywhere, revealing all that the villa had to offer. In total, the tour took an entire hour but I enjoyed every second. The villa was a very large house, filled with rooms of enjoyment and relaxation.

Venturing through the first floor of the villa, Naruto pointed out everything on it, revealing all the rooms my family and I will soon indulge in.

First up, was the living room which was massive and spacious. The area was so big you could practically run around it. But of course, I would not do such a thing in such a fine place.

The room we now stood in was white all over. The room possessed white floors and white walls. But in the middle of the room was where the couches were located, which were settled in a circular pit. White little steps could be seen on a few sides of the couches which needed to be used to enter the circular pit to sit down and relax.

Because the circular hole in the floor was so big, three end tables were located in the middle of the chairs, magazines, and candles in red containers positioned on top of each. The end tables were also a circular shape.

The room had a fireplace, three televisions mounted on the wide wall, and a small bar off to the side where drinks could be made. The villa's living room was gorgeous, I couldn't take my eyes off of it.

Chandeliers, floor lights, disco lights, a fish tank and a glimpse of upstairs were also features that were inside the living room.

The ceiling had an opening to it so all you had to do was look up to see directly up into the second floor. I found such a feature so cool.

Windows were also spotted inside the living room which was located directly in front of us, right where you enter the area. And through them, we can see the side of the villa which was where the pool and hot tub were located. Water poured down into the pool like a waterfall from rocks which was a fantastic sight to see.

Our mouths gaped so big upon seeing such a scenery, earning us a laugh from Naruto.

From there, we worked onward to see the room connected to the living room which was the kitchen. But, it was blocked off by a sliding door because there were numerous chefs inside cooking lunch for us. Such a sight was like heaven to our eyes.

"Oh, my kami," I whispered out which caused Naruto to chuckle, one of his hands moving to set itself in front of the closed door.

"As you can see, the kitchen is not too far from the chill zone. Heh, we men like to call the living room the chill zone by the way." Naruto added in, moving to nudge me playfully with his shoulder which made me squeal. Hanabi and Naruto laughed in response. Father only stood with his eyes focused on the kitchen which was an area Naruto was just about to explain.

He knocked on the tall, white door softly with his knuckles. "This is the kitchen, my lovely people. You will find chefs here all the time. They can and will cook any dish you desire. All you have to do is ask and they'll cook it. They're just that amazing."

Naruto seemed so carefree as he told us all we needed to know when it comes to the kitchen and his band's personal chefs. He told us the times the chefs will leave the kitchen which is:

2:30 a.m: In the morning.

1:15 pm: In the afternoon.

6:30 pm: In the evening.

The chefs leave three times, in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening to do as they pleased. Mostly to eat or sleep. Naruto told us lots about the chefs with a big grin on his tan face, his face lightened up in a very positive way. I could tell he was really happy to have me here and of course, I was more than happy to be here.

I was ecstatic.

I felt like the luckiest woman on earth. The house I stood in felt unreal. I never saw anything like it other than in movies on the television. And not to mention, I can't believe I'm staring back into my idol's eyes, the male that I've been crushing on for months. The male I listen to every single day. The male I watch perform on stage through my television.

He was standing right before me and so not once, did my eyes leave him. I kept my eyes rooted on the gorgeous male before me as he talked and talked away. I took in every feature he possessed and I stashed it into my brain, saving it there.

I sighed breathlessly within my spot, my lavender eyes running over Naruto's tall, stunning frame. His skin was a beautiful sun-kissed tan that harbored no markings or blemishes at all. The only markings he had were the six whisker marks on his face, three on each cheek which made him look so adorable.

His cheeks were spread so a wide grin was presented on his attractive face, his white glistening teeth on full display. His muscles bulged every time he moved within his gold tux which shone like diamonds, sparkling and twinkling within the sunlight which shot through the many windows located in the villa.

His voice was just as charming as it was on TV, just the same as if he was singing. He was a fine specimen, a rare find that was totally addicting to hear and look at.

Ooh, Naruto looks and sounds even better in person. I can't stop staring at him.

I feel like I can stare at him forever-

"Onee-san? Onee-san?" Hanabi's voice suddenly emerged from beside me which snapped me out of my trance, my lavender eyes blinking to see Naruto no longer talking. Now he was quiet and was only waiting for me to come back to reality. But I did catch the charming smirk on his face. But it vanished when my father stepped into my view, his hands moving to grab my shoulders. I looked up at the black-haired male in a daze, revealing my glossy eyes.

My father frowned. "Hinata, are you feeling okay? Is this all too overwhelming for you? Do you need a break?" He asked in concern, his eyebrows furrowed for he didn't want me to suffer from fainting. He always gets so distraught when I do.

Naruto saw our encounter and frowned, his shoulders slumping. "Oh no, I see someone's still haven't gotten fully adjusted yet. I'm sorry if this is all overwhelming, Hinata and Mr. Hyuga. My intention, as well as the rest of The Heat Wave Band members, mean well. We don't want to bombard you. We can take things slow if you want." The famous blonde suggested behind my father, his voice no longer holding excitement and happiness in it.

No.

Now he seemed regretful by the way he was acting as if his hyper behavior was bad and was the cause of disturbing me and my father.

But it isn't!

Naruto didn't do anything wrong!

So, I shook my head at my father's concerned questions, my head shifting towards the pouting blonde behind him. "No father. Everything's fine. I was just...

"You were.." My father trailed off while moving his head in circles, in order to capture my gaze. But my eyes were on Naruto's once more from afar who's mood started to lighten up at my behavior. He slowly started to catch on.

I smiled at him, glancing back at my father with a blush on my cheeks. It was embarrassing, to say the least having to explain my situation entirely to my father. But since he's so worried over a problem that was non-existent...

Then I must.

I have to explain myself.

My blushed darkened. "I-I was only sw-swooning. I still cannot believe I am here, father. My famous idol is there, right here in the same place as I. I am just speechless, that's all. I'm just trying to get used to a-all of this." I whispered to my father so he could understand my case. Nothing I felt at the moment was negative. Yes, I was fighting against my very own being every step of the way not to faint from all the excitement that filled my body from my surroundings but overall I was happy. And I wanted my father to relax a bit.

He's so tense but he shouldn't be.

But by my words, I managed to make him see the situation from my side, and from there, he calmed down.

I watched as he let out a chuckle before patting my shoulder. "Sorry, sorry, Hinata. I promise I won't ruin this trip for you. I just want this to be a pleasant time."

I smiled brightly. "And it will. Don't worry, father. This trip has been the best thing that's ever happened to me and I know it'll just get even better."

The words that I said to my father made Naruto happy again, his boyish smile resurfacing as well as his exciting mood.

He grinned. "You are most definitely correct, Hinata. From here on out, count you three lucky for you all are officially on the heatwave train and here, the party never stops."

He then nodded his head, soon moving his body forward to venture to another part of the house, on the first floor. "Let's work our way onward again. I have so much to show you all."

And afterward, we were off again, venturing through the many halls the bottom floor of the villa held. Now, Naruto made sure to explain everything slowly in a way that was less overwhelming and easier to understand and take in. But even still, I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

All in all, downstairs had a chill zone, a.k.a, the living room, a kitchen with chefs, a dining room, a library room, three huge bathrooms, and a grand backdoor that leads out into the garden, the garage, the pool, and the hot tub outside.

The tour of downstairs was absolutely amazing. But now, I was really ready to see upstairs which was the next destination Naruto took us.

Making it back to the entrance of the villa we were introduced once again to two sets of stairs which worked into a curve to lead to the second floor. Right at the moment, two men in tuxes could be seen traveling on both sides of the stairs with our luggage bags, stepping on each marble step carefully with their spotless black dress shoes.

I watched them with widened lavender eyes until they completely left my view altogether. I gasped. "Wow." I whispered out as I now looked up at the opening the second floor had for us. I was able to easily look up to see a long hallway in the shape of a square, white bars wrapping around the entire walkway for safety measures.

Naruto smiled at the sight of my enthusiasm and went to pull one hand forward, gesturing to me to grab it from where he stood before the stairs. "After you, Ms. Hinata." He whispered softly, his blue eyes twinkling down at me which made me melt once again inside. Goosebumps trailed up and down my skin as I shared an intense stare with Naruto which put me in a serious daze, one hand of his extended out towards me while the other held the railing. And from where his hand gripped the stair railing, I noticed he wore many rings on most of his fingers, ones that looked to cost a fortune. The gold, circular rings shone in the light similar to his tux which revealed Naruto's wealth.

I bit my lip, batting my eyes up at Naruto. "Th-Thank you, Naruto. I responded back as normal as I could before working myself up the stairs with Naruto's help, leaving Hanabi and my father to walk behind me.

Hanabi giggled upon the scene between Naruto and me while my father scoffed at it, clearly disliking it. But he said nothing and only worked his way up the stairs behind us.

The stairs worked in a spiral as we made our way up and up to another part of the house entirely, where most likely the bedrooms are located.

Our rooms.

The entire time my hand was held within Naruto's warm hand, the size of it engulfing mine, I was battling against myself not to faint. My cheeks were so red, I felt like they would just melt off. I was silently freaking out.

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!

Naruto's holding my hand again!

He's walking with me!

He's, he's, he's!!!

My thoughts were running amok in excitement as I walked beside Naruto up the stairs to make it to the second floor of the villa where many rooms were introduced to us.

Naruto pointed one finger over to the right-hand side of the floor to where many doors can be spotted there, golden plaques with names in black written on them positioned above the doors.

The blonde, blue-eyed male smiled, turning his attention down to me. His hand was still holding mine which my father was eyeing closely. He raised an eyebrow at how close we were.

"Now Hinata, the rooms you see over there are where we will stay. Our names are plastered on the door so you can tell whose room belongs to who. So if you need anything, or if you have any questions you are free to come on over and let us know." He trailed off to glance back at Hanabi and Hiashi who was quietly listening behind him.

He smiled, a boyish smile. "Oh, that includes you two as well. But you see we men hardly have any privacy so I would appreciate it if you knock before entering. Sleep is valuable to us also so we cannot afford to stay up late at night. I would be sure to send you our schedule shortly along with your own personal schedule, Hinata." He informed with a definite nod, slowly but surely letting us into his and his members' world. Now we know that Naruto and the rest of the band members hardly ever get any privacy, most likely because of fans, cameras, and the paparazzi. The famous band members are constantly being recorded, being chased down, and being searched for. Many of their fans are die-hard ones so I cannot imagine some of the things they probably go through when it comes to dealing with their fans.

And not only that, he mentioned that he and his members find sleep valuable which is another factor that I found important.

The band is always on the go so, of course, they need to sleep. They'll be miserable without any rest.

Looking deeper inside their lives, it seems it's a little more difficult than it would appear.

It's not just fancy mansions, money, and popularity.

It's so much more.

And I had a feeling that I would be learning a whole lot from Naruto and his members on this trip and I was ready for it.

I want to know everything.

I smiled at Naruto, subconsciously gripping his hand tighter. "Alright, Naruto. Thanks for telling us. We will be sure to follow all your rules." I informed happily, one of my hands falling forward to touch the fine male's arm beside me, my fingers just itching to touch him.

But as soon as I did, a loud and dramatic cough came from behind me which stopped me dead in my tracks. I also let go of Naruto's hand as well.

Briefly, I turned to spare a shocked glance back at my father who was the culprit for such an action, his eyes connecting with mine. He narrowed them, giving his head a shake which instantly told me what bothered him. I gulped.

Oh no... I totally forgot he was here.

Naruto chuckled at our encounter before clasping his hands together, turning around to face us. "So um, heh, before I show you three the rest of the house, do you have any questions? I don't want to overwhelm you so if you are curious about anything, you are free to ask away. I absolutely love answering questions." He acknowledged with a playful grin. Now from where he was standing, he could see all three of us, his blue eyes switching from all of our forms.

I bit my lip, only one question on my mind and it was because of the words he said previously. I hummed. "Well, I have one question. You said beforehand that you will give me a personal schedule? What does that mean?" I asked curiously, pulling my hands down so I gripped my handbag which was hanging off my shoulder, dangling down to meet the flowy purple dress I wore.

Naruto gasped softly at my question. He also gave me a nod. "Great question, Hinata. See, The Heat Wave Band's manager, Kakashi Hatake, has handwritten out a list of things you will be involved in during this entire month you're here. It's a busy list, similar to ours so you can really feel the heatwave effect. We're busy people, Hinata and because you're tagging along, just think of it as now, you're one of us. Your schedule will be filled with numerous activities that you will be involved in, all placed on many different dates throughout the month. Your schedule is just a way for you to stay on track of everything, is all."

Naruto's explanation techniques were so great as he went about breaking down every question I had. He took his time with me and made sure to answer each question in a way I could understand. He was so open and understanding, it made me fall in love with him even more.

Soon enough though we were back at the tour and Naruto went ahead and showed us where each band member's room is located. He didn't allow us to see inside the rooms but he did point out where each one was located.

"This is Shikamaru's."

"There's Kiba's room."

"There's also Kakashi room."

"Over there, you'll see Sasuke's, and ooh, all the way down there, you'll see mine."

Nothing but "wow's" and "ooh's'' can be heard escape my mouth as my eyes run over the five rooms the Heatwave members lounge and sleep in. Of course, this is probably not their ultimate home but still...

The Heatwave members will be sleeping right here! In the same place as I will!

Oh.

My.

Kami!

I was so excited. And I grew even more so when Naruto showed us a few more rooms upstairs which were simply activity rooms. There was a game room, a bowling alley, a home gym, an office, and even an exclusive studio where the band most likely will be practicing their music in. I totally cannot wait to hear a live performance from the four of them. I sighed blissfully upon the thought.

But I couldn't stay in my thoughts for long because we were on the move once more and last but not least we were shown the bedrooms we all were going to stay in on this trip.

In all, there were three guest rooms specifically for the contest winner.

Me.

And the contest winner's family. But Hanabi has begged me to stay in the room I was given and of course...

I can't say no to her.

So, Hanabi and I will share a room and my father will sleep in the room next to us. Our bedrooms were located just across from The Heatwave band's rooms so it was just as Naruto had said. It will be easier to contact someone if we need help or if we have any questions.

The entire setup here in the villa was so organized and professional. Nothing was out of place and out of order. Everyone seemed so open and welcoming, I felt like I was accepted here.

I felt like I could be free here.

I smiled blissfully once Hanabi and I were brought to my room. My father had left us to quietly take in his own room.

Naruto walked up to us and sighed, clasping his hands together which caused his rings to clatter against one other. "Well ladies, this is, unfortunately, the end of the tour. You are welcome to explore any room in the villa, however, you are to tell one of our personal bodyguards where you are going first. You will see them scoured all over the mansion. So make sure to inform one of them of your whereabouts first." He informed with a serious nod, his blonde hair falling over his light blue eyes upon his action.

I could feel my cheeks heat up just from seeing such a sexy display from Naruto. But I quickly made sure to speak back so I won't look like a total idiot. I nodded, my eyes glancing down at Hanabi who was turned away from Naruto and was instead looking into the window of the bedroom we were going to soon stay in.

I smiled. "Yes, Naruto. Thank you so much for the tour. It was absolutely wonderful. I am tr-truly looking f-forward to hanging out with you and the rest of the heatwave members. I am s-so excited." I announced with a grin, my hands folded tightly together to help with my nerves.

The blonde laughed in agreement, throwing up one fist to pump the air in glee. "Hell yeah! We're all so incredibly happy to have you here, Hinata. From what I can see already, you're an amazing girl and your family is also. I cannot wait to show you what we have to offer. But..." He trailed off, pulling his raised arm down to briefly glance at the gold watch on his wrist, his teeth gritting at what he saw.

"Ah, damn."

He whipped his head back up at us and grimaced. "Sorry to cut this short, Hinata. But I'm afraid I have to scaddle. I'll give you time to unpack and settle. Feel free to watch the television in your bedroom, you'll be surprised at what you see there." He announced with a wide grin, also sending me a wink before backing up, away from me. He then turned around to officially leave the area.

I watched him as he did, my eyes trained on his moving form, his muscles flexing and bucking as he walked away in a very sexy stride. I sighed, moving my hands up to cup my burning cheeks.

Oh my kami, he's absolutely gorgeous!

I stood there, melting in my spot as I watched the famous man I had a serious crush on walk away to a place that was unknown, bodyguards of his, moving to occupy the spots all around him. And from there, he traveled down the stairs to the first floor, leaving Hanabi, father, and me to relax in our new rooms. The rooms that are all ours for the taking.

Hanabi turned to me with glee held in her pretty lavender orbs, her hands holding the ends of the window that is located on the door to the bedroom we were gonna share. "Hinata, you have got to see this." She announced in excitement, her mood skyrocketing from seeing what was through the double doors behind me.

I turned around on cue to face such doors, turning my gaze down to my elevated sister, a delighted grin pulling at my face.

"Yes, I'm ready, Hanabi. Let's go see our new room!"

-Elsewhere-
Sakura's P.O.V

Chomp!

Chomp!

Another handful of chips was thrown into my mouth as I sat on my bed in pink pajamas while steadily flipping through channels on my TV in silence.

My phone lay on my lap for I had just sent a text to Hinata asking her about her Heat Wave box. She told me Friday that she was supposed to receive it but ever since then I have not heard anything from her.

Not a single thing.

I frowned.

I hope she's doing okay.

I hope she's gotten better luck than I did and had instead gotten the special box to win. I grinned in glee at the thought of her face if she were to see she's won a four-week trip with the people she absolutely adores.

Hinata would freak out.

I laughed out loud at my thoughts. "Hinata would totally faint if she were to-" But my words died down when I switched onto a specific channel on my TV which looked like a live interview between two people.

What made me stop was the appearance of one of those individuals who caught my eye. The woman on the television had midnight blue hair which was the same color as...

Hinata's.

I decided to remain on the channel with the interview and with that, I began to watch it out of curiosity.

My thoughts and my verbal statement were put on hold as I just looked at the channel before me which presented a blonde male and a midnight blue-haired woman both dressed in very formal clothing. The both of them honestly looked like models and were talking so elegantly. Though the woman would sometimes stumble over her words which I found odd but as I kept looking, I began to notice something.

Squinting my eyes, I worked myself off of the bed to instead creep closer to the TV, also listening in to what the two were being asked.

"Young lady, how does it feel to stand before your idol?"

"So, you've won the contest! Congratulations! Can you explain to us how you feel right now?"

"Naruto, I hear that you and your band have never hosted a contest before, how do you feel about everything?"

"How do you feel, Naruto, about your contest winner? I see she's pretty intelligent and also a looker!"

My body crept closer and closer as I just listened to the two individuals speak, my green orbs squinted in curiosity. But as I grew closer, I was able to pick up things I couldn't do from where I previously sat far away.

I began to really see the facial features of both individuals on my television and once I did, finally everything began to click.

My breathing increased rapidly, my chest heaving in excitement as I listened to the midnight blue-haired woman speak, her voice totally recognizable and that was because...

My eyes shot wide open and I let out a blaring scream which was filled with intense emotion. I didn't care if my parents were gonna hear me and possibly get mad at me for my outburst.

No. They're not important right now.

What's important is right on the TV in front of me. My mouth gaped in shock at the young woman on the screen before me. My eyes widened and I leaned my head closer to the screen.

Hinata, is that you?

Finally, I recognized her from under the gorgeous makeup she wore on her face and the formal clothing on her body, her lavender eyes filled with happiness and excitement from where she stood beside Naruto, the leader of The HeatWave Band.

She looked so beautiful as she spoke with the help of Naruto who looked at her softly, in a way she's always wanted.

I squealed in joy, picking myself up to stand from previously sitting on my bedroom floor. Quickly, I threw myself back to my phone so I could call the girls.

They need to know this!

They need to know what Hinata has accomplished!!

Hinata's life has just seriously changed and I am so, so proud of her.

I practically launched my body onto the bed, flopping on it in a very comical way before grabbing my phone to quickly facetime Ino and TenTen. I did so as fast as I could while all the while staring face to face with Hinata and Naruto, on my TV, excitedly listening to what all they had to say.

My phone rang and rang but it was until TenTen picked up the phone that such noise grew silent.

"Heya, Sakura! What's up!"

Afterward, Ino popped up on the screen and from there, I didn't wait to tell them the big news.

I blurted out everything.

I sat up and screeched, my pale face coated extremely with happiness for my best friend.

"You girls, you will not, believe this..
