The war had ended, taking several lives with it, leaving several widows and orphans, but it was a necessary sacrifice, as they had won against the evil of Madara. There was a week-long festival to celebrate their victory, laughter and cheers could be heard across the five nations, yet there was a woman that wasn't smiling in Konoha, Hinata. She was sitting away from the commotion, in one of the most distant training grounds, staring up to the sky, wondering why Naruto didn't acknowledge her after everything she did.
It was a warm night, yet she felt cold. "Naruto… why can't you see me…?" she whispered softly, a tear running down her face. Little she knew that there was someone watching her, one that was willing to take away her loneliness, although he was an unlikely candidate.
Hinata heard steps coming closer, so she told whoever it was to go away. "I fear that I cannot attend this request." The gruff voice was enough to make her turn around to see the speaker. "Why are you here?" She stared at the ruby gaze from the Kyuubi, confused to see the being in front of her. "I was just strolling around, then I feel a veil of sadness and heartbreak, and I inspect the source to find you." The fox demon was towering above her, as big as a stallion. "Now you know that it was me, so you can go now."
His tails waved lazily behind him. "But I do not want to." She was stepping back and away from him, not understanding what he meant. "Hn, I heard your question about the blondie." Hinata looked to the distance, fidgeting a little. "It was just a whisper, how did you pick that up?" Kurama walked towards her, keeping the eye contact. "I heard once that the whisper of a pretty woman can be heard further than the roar of a lion." She saw the mirth on his eyes. "Why are you interested in me? I thought that you despised humans." The fox gave out a small chuckle, finally standing right in front of the petite woman. "Every rule has an exception, and this time you are the one."
Hinata sighed, as the fox seemed to like speaking in a weird way. "He is a fool, and a sensible woman can never be happy with a fool." Her attention snapped back to him at these words and got surprised when he rested his head on her shoulder, wrapping one of his tails around her in a kind of hug. "Why are you doing this for me?" His ear twitched to show that he heard her. "What?" She put one hand on his neck, as if he were her lifeline, almost crying. "Comforting me, giving me praises… I'm not worth it." He tightened his hold on her. "Let me be the judge of it." It had done it, her walls broke down and she clutched the fur on his chest, letting out all her pent up frustration while he just took her sorrow, not saying a word.
Naruto was beaming, everybody in Konoha was now looking up to him, the girls were all over him and he was the envy of many men. Life looked good for him, now all that he needed was the robe of Hokage, but the old hag had decided to nominate Kakashi, as he had proved himself in the war and had lots of experience under his belt. But there was this annoying nagging at the back of his head, as if it was trying to show that something was wrong, but what was it? His life was peachy and sailing to better things. He knew that the nagging didn't come from the fox, as the demon was out from the seal. "Whatever, let's just get fun."
He was getting request for autographs every five minutes, sometimes a girl would drag him to a heavy make-out session until he had reached the group of Rookies. "Hey guys! Nice night right?" The Inuzuka was the first one to acknowledge his presence. "Hm? So Hinata isn't with you?" Naruto got confused. "No, why did you think that?" Kiba stopped munching his dumpling to glare at him then he just scoffed. "Meh, no reason. And ya're stinking of hoes." Naruto grabbed the shirt of the dog user, holding up a venomous look. "Go and say sorry to the girls of the village!" The brunette sneered at the blond. "Hah, why should I do it?" Naruto slammed him against a wall. "They just kissed me because they love me!" This invoked a loud laughter from Kiba. "HAHAHA! Don't give that crap to me! HA! Love? DAMN RIGHT! They're just doin' this 'cuz you're the oh so powerful HERO!" Kiba had stopped a little to recover his breath. "It's all bullcrap, their 'love' I mean." He made quotation marks at love. "Heh, ya don't deserve her after all. I just hope that she has already moved on." Naruto growled. "Who is 'she'?" Kiba snorted. "Once a blond, always a blond. I'm talking about Hinata!" At this point their friends were trying to separate them, not wanting a bloodbath. "Let me say one thing, letting Hinata go will be your biggest mistake!"
Kurama was smiling softly at the woman in his hold. 'She smells so good.' Hinata had cried herself to sleep, but he wasn't complaining, he liked being around her. 'I won't let anyone take her from me.' He curled his tails protectively around the Hyuuga to shield her from the night chill. 'I wonder what the kit will say.' He smirked briefly before falling in a deep slumber.
