This is the sequel to my one-shot 'Giving Away The Innocence'. I suggest you read that first.
I don't own Naruto or it's characters.
NOTE: this chapter is short at 600 words, but the following chapters word amount will stretch between 1500- 3000, depending on detail and blah and blah. ENJOY!
"You'll come to visit me, won't you?" She whispered in his ear as they gave embrace in goodbye.
Naruto tightened his hold on her, his face falling slightly "I can't promise anything…"
Shion's face fell as well, and she slowly buried her face in his shoulder.
"But if I have my way" he muttered on "I'd come see you every day. But I'll try my best to come back. Soon as possible."
A small smile slipped up Shion's face in happiness and hope.
"Okay" was the only thing she could squeak out.
She wanted to have a tantrum, demanding Naruto's friends to make sure he came back, but she had her reasons why she wouldn't do so. One reason was because deep down she knew there was no use in that, and the second, and most important reason, because she was sure that she was going to have to be an adult soon. And she would proudly give away her childhood for the reason.
The pulled away gently, holding brave faces.
"Goodbye Naruto" Shion sighed with love, looking him in the eyes.
"Come on, Naruto" called an irritated Neji.
Naruto gritted his teeth, bending his head down to stop himself from yelling abuse at the idiot calling him. He looked back up Shion, his eyes filled with paramour.
"Good bye… Shion" and he turned away and began to walk towards his waiting team.
At the sight of him getting closer, they turned round as well and began to read on. The blonde heaved a heavy sigh, before he felt a hand on his shoulder that span him round to see though gorgeous eyes once again. Before he could speak, those hand moved to his cheek, accompanied by another on the opposite cheek and a pair of rosebud lips crashed against his with the heat of amity and affection. While hers were closed tightly his were open, watching the glittering waterfall trail from her eyes and cracking his heart. She pulled away breathless, still holding the tanned face in her hands.
"I love you" Naruto blurted out.
Shion blinked "what?" she croaked, wiping her tears away.
"I never told you." He said in a hush voice so know one but the girl could hear him "The other night. You said you loved me but I… I didn't say back… I just kind of" he shifted where he stood awkwardly "used you"
"Oh Naruto!" Shion gushed loudly, causing Naruto's team to freeze in their walk when they realised he wasn't there. Shion lowered her voice like Naruto had "I love you too, but darling… You didn't use me. If anything, I-"
"NARUTO!" bellowed Neji.
Naruto frowned looking away from Shion like before, muttering colourful words under his breath.
"You better go" Shion whispered to him, deciding not to finish her previous sentence.
"Yeah" Naruto giggled nervously, feeling his cheeks loose Shion's touch. "Good bye."
"Sayonara"
Naruto turned round and walked away, officially this time. He wanted Shion to stop him again, but she did not, and for that he respect her for it. She knew what he had to do, and she wasn't going to stop him. She joined him group, who had waited this time make sure he defiantly was with them, and they strolled off, Shion watching them leave with a grateful grin. A hand floated to her abdomen and rested them, her thumb stroking it soothingly.
"Please let this have worked" she mumbled to herself, now only being about to see the team as black smudges in the mist.
