Disclaimer: Naruto does not belong to me. The song also is not mine.
"Alright class, the music fest is fast approaching." Kurenai, the music teacher announced. "Those who want to join will make a song of their own. After they do come see me so I can make suggestions and such, then practice!"
Hinata glanced at Naruto, talking to his best friend, Sasuke. She thought about joining. But quickly squashed the thought. 'I couldn't…I'm not a good singer…but this could be my chance to tell Naruto what I feel.'
Kurenai dismissed them, Music was their last subject. Hinata went outside and sat on the branch of a tree. She took out an apple and bit into it, she took out a pen and notebook and began to write.

The next morning, Hinata tried her best to stay up during school, she was up all night trying to perfect the song. She was very pleased with the results.
It was recess and she hurried off to see Kurenai. "Kurenai-sensei!" she said as she opened the door to her office. "I decided to join the Music Fest, here is my song." Hinata handed Kurenai the paper.
Kurenai was surprised that shy Hinata would actually join the Music Fest, Kurenai had always treated Hinata as her own daughter. She smiled at her and proofread the paper. It only had few spelling mistakes, probably from sleepiness, as expected of Hinata, it was neat and she knew she put a lot of effort in it.
"It's a very nice piece." Kurenai commented. "Before you ask, no, I do not want you to sing it for me now, because that would ruin the surprise. I just love surprises!"
Hinata nodded happily and left the room. After that the day continued normally.

Hinata went to her favorite place, the branch of a tree. She sang her song quietly. She saw Naruto pass by. She started to panic. 'What should I do!' In her distress she fell of the branch. "Aaaaaaaaaah!" she screamed. She closed her eyes and waited for the pain.
She didn't feel any pain, instead she felt warmth. She opened her eyes and found herself in the arms of Naruto! She quickly scrambled off and stood up, blushing profusely. "G-gomen Naruto-kun!" She apologized.
Naruto rubbed his neck and said "No prob!" Hinata was in deep thought.
"N-Naruto-kun, I'm going to join the Music Fest…can you…uuum…h-help me practice?" she stuttered. Naruto said "Sure! I never knew you were the singing type."
"Actually this is my first time singing in front of people." She admitted.
She closed her eyes and started to sing…
Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're, you're never there
But when I sleep you're, you're everywhere
You're everywhere
Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
You're never there
And every time I sleep
You're always there
Naruto was shocked beyond belief, who knew, shy, quiet Hyuuga Hinata had such a beautiful and confident singing voice!
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
You might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I am not alone
Whoa, oh, oooh, oh
And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
It's you I breathe
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?
Hinata had given it her all, she poured out all her emotions into the song hoping Naruto would understand.
Naruto stood up and looked at her. "You were great Hinata-chan! I'm sure you'll win!" He smiled.
Hinata was happy but a little sad, true he praised her but he didn't get it.
Naruto turned away but just as he took 3 steps he turned around and gave Hinata a kiss on the lips. He pulled away quickly and said "I like you too."
