Little Faith
My first songfic story! Well I hope you enjoy it
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto; neither do I own the song Days Go By.
You...I haven't stopped thinking about him since I left Konoha ten years ago. I wonder if he remembered who I was. Now I was back, and after disappearing for ten years, I wondered if I could actually find him.
You
You are still a whisper on my lips
A feeling at my fingertips
That's pulling at my skin
I pulled on my mask, straightened my hitai-ate headband, and took a deep breath, hesitantly entering Konoha.
You leave me when I'm at my worst
Feeling as if I've been cursed
Bitter cold within
I looked around the village. Yes, everything still looked the same, but my sense of direction was a little bit rusty. I started wandering around, recognizing many faces but not acknowledging them. Gai, Rock Lee, Iruka with a boy I didn't know, and many more. I didn't want to startle everyone with my sudden appearance. After an hour of pointless wandering, there was still no sight of him anywhere, and all hope was lost. I dropped on my knees and sighed in depression. Oh well...
Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Without you
Without you
"Excuse me, are you lost?" a familiar voice asked.
My eyes shot open as I kept my head down. 'I recognize that voice anywhere. It's him... It's really him... should I reveal my identity? Or not? Ah, Kami-sama, what should I do? Wait, I think I know...' I thought.
I looked up at the person. I was right, it was him, it was really him. After all these years, he still looked the same...
"Hello?"
I was so deep in thought I forgot to answer his question.
"Ah, I am a little lost. Would you mind helping me?"
"Of course not. Where were you about to go?"
"I... was going to visit a... friend..."
"I see. Would you mind telling me who your friend is?"
"Well, you see... I... uh..."
I couldn't go on. I couldn't tell him I came back just to visit him. Or could I?
You are still a whisper on my lips
A feeling at my fingertips
That's pulling at my skin
I stopped and looked up at him.
"Do you remember who I am?"
He looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't remember? Didn't he recognize me at all? The fact that I was now blind in my right eye might have made him wonder if it was really I...
"Do I know you?"
"Yes... you do. At least, you did..."
You leave me when I'm at my worst
Feeling as if I've been cursed
Bitter cold within
This hurt. Not only did he not recognize my face, he didn't recognize my voice either. This really hurt. I was crushed, but balled up all my pain and kept it inside.
"Never mind, just forget what I said. I'm looking for Lord Hokage."
"Ah yes, follow me."
I followed him, not saying a word. It hurt so much; a few tears fell from my face. I quickly wiped them away, before he could see any. But still, he should have recognized me. After all, I was the only other that wore a mask.
Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Without you

Soon we reached Lord Hokage's place. I said a quiet thank you to him, and I entered. Soon I saw Lord Hokage sitting at his desk. I cleared my throat.

"Lord Hokage."
Lord Hokage looked up and saw me. I took off my mask so he would clearly see whom I was.
"Ah, Chidori, you have returned. After all these years..."
"Yes, it's been a while."
"What happened to your eye?"
"A minor injury, that's all. No need to worry about."
"I see..."
Lord Hokage eyed the injury on my face; he obviously didn't believe me. It was a scar appearing from the middle of my forehead to my right cheek, intercepting my eye. After a few more minutes of talking, I left the room and walked down the hall.
"Boo," a certain someone said. You could probably guess whom.
I quickly spun around, forgetting that I didn't put my mask over my face. I soon realized this, and quickly covered the bottom half of my face.
"Chidori..."

He knew?? He remembered! I was so happy... but then...
"Chidori... I thought you were dead..."
He thought I was dead? What little faith he put in me...

I know this story is a bit... boring... but I'm trying my best. See first I started writing fanfics for Fruits Basket, then I deleted them cause no one read them, then I wrote a Shaman King story, it wasn't that great, then I couldn't think of anything else to write. Well this story is the latest one I wrote, so please R&R thanks!! -
