You're The Only One

Chapter 1: Missing

After saying goodbye to Shino and Kiba, Hinata decided to take a short walk in the woods before returning home. She stopped in a clearing and laid down to look at the sky. After a few minutes, her star gazing changed to day dreaming of her favorite clueless ninja (you know who he is and if you don't, shame on you ^^) Since she was in her own little world, she didn't notice a pair of eyes watching her.

"NARUTO! GET YOU'RE ASS OUT HERE!" after hearing that, Naruto fell right out of bed and landed face first on the floor. He screamed out of pain and held his face. He then looked at the clock and started to growl of annoyance, 'who would wake a person at 8:00 in the damn morning?'

Suddenly the shouting changed to hard beating sounds coming from his door. Naruto covered his ears with his hands and ran to the door. He opened the door and his annoyance changed to confusion, "What do you want Kiba?"

Kiba was out of breath due from spending the whole day looking for Naruto. He took a deep breath. "why are you still looking for her?"

Naruto expression change from confusing to serious, "what do you mean?" he knew what Kiba meant by that question.

Kiba started to growl out of anger, "you know damn well what I mean. She has been gone about a year. No one can find her. Do you not realize how exhausted you look right now? Give up!"

Naruto gritted his teeth and his hand tightened into a fist, "give up, GIVE UP! Do you not know who I am! I will never give up! And I can't believe that you would even give up on your own friend! Now if you excuse me, I will be on my way because unlike you I CARE about finding her." He ran passed Kiba and jumped from rooftop to rooftop.

Kiba bowed his head down. He felt completely guilty. Naruto was right; he gave up on his friend, teammate, and sister. But, unlike Naruto, this was reality. Kiba shook his head and gritted his teeth, 'she's gone and she will never come back.'

Naruto was running in the woods, trying to find any clues on finding her. The more he ran, the more his frustrated he got, 'Hinata.'

Flashback

"WHAT! What do you mean she's missing!" after hearing Hinata has vanished from Neji, he ran straight to Tsunade to find out any more information.

Tsunade was not in the best of moods and Naruto shouting in her face was not helping her mood. She slammed her hands on her desk, "LISTEN! I'm not in the mood to deal with you right now. I have just sent Sasuke, Sakura, Neji, and team 8 looking for her, so, just leave me ALONE! If you don't I will rip that annoying head off from that annoying orange body of yours and use it for kick ball practice. Now. GO!"

Naruto shook with fear. She was serious. Not wanting his head removed, he left as quickly as he could.

End of Flashback

After about half of year, everyone gave up. That is except for one.

Flashback

"Naruto, stop searching for her. There are no evidence of Hinata's wear abouts." Tsunade was starting to get worried about Naruto.

Naruto violently shook his head. "I will not stop. She is someone very important to me. She is a close friend and I will NEVER stop finding her."

Tsunade shook her head and sighed, 'There is no way to get through to this brat.' "Naruto, everyone had quit. Why do you just do the same?"

Naruto smiled. "You know well enough that I am no quitter. I promise Grandma, I will find her no matter what." After saying that, he jumped out the window to continue his search.

Tsunade just laughed and shook her head. 'That boy is impossible.'

End of Flashback

During the year of searching for Hinata, Naruto has been feeling not himself lately. He eats one bowl of ramen per day, only gets at least three hours of sleep, and always looks drained. Everyone is worried about him, even Sasuke, though he does not show it.

Naruto made a loud yawn and continued to run while smiling, 'Don't worry Hinata. I will find you. I promise.'
