When you're on the outside baby and you can`t get in
I will show you you're so much better than you know
when you're lost and you're alone and you cant get back again
I will find you darling and I will bring you home.

-Sade:By Your Side

She stood outside the door; closed her eyes and took a deep breath gathering all her courage as she lifted her fist to knock on the door. You can do this. She waited for a response but didn't get one, so she knocked again but again got no response. "I know you're in there I can see you," she yelled to the other side. A moment later the door open. "N-Naruto-kun," she gently smiled as she deactivated her Byakugan.

"What're you doing here, Hinata" he rubbed his eyes. She noticed how terrible he looked; bags under his eye and who knows how many days he had those sweatpants on.

She sighed then recited the prepared line she had practiced on the way over, "I heard you weren't feeling well, so I came to help you." Wearing her navy ninja pants, a lavender t-shirt that was obviously too big for her and a matching bandanna over her dark tresses. He noticed that she was carrying bags.

"Uh, It's ok Hinata," he forced a smile.

"No, Naruto-kun I insist," she asserted. Very proud of herself, she pushed her way past him. She was determined to do this and after days of mentally preparing herself she wasn't turning back. She studied the house to see it was a total wreck. After the Fourth Shinobi War, it was decided that Naruto was to inherit the Namikaze estate and for the life of her, Hinata couldn't figure how a single person could make such a mess of it, but if anyone could it was Naruto. "Time to get to work," she sighed and set her bags down on the table. "First, to clean. You sure made quite the mess Naruto-kun," she smiled at him as he still stood at the door oblivious to everything. She started cleaning the many ramen cups that littered the floor. Then she started in the kitchen unpacking the groceries she brought then made her way out to the rest of the house. After a couple hours of hard work not only could the floors be seen, but the place was spotless. "Naruto-kun, I think you should take a shower," she held out clean clothes to the sulking man on the couch. He looked at up at her and she felt her heart shatter looking into the eyes that usually were so full of life and hope but now were dull and filled with hurt.

"Probably should, I stink don't I?" he faked a chuckle.

"You go ahead and shower and I'll finish cooking." He rose from the couch and made his way to the bathroom. She started back in the kitchen; gathered the rest of everything she's need for the meal she was preparing. She spent years learning and perfecting her tonkotsu ramen with extra narutomaki, waiting for the day she'd cook it for Naruto. It all came down to this.

Naruto came out from his shower, drying his wild blonde mane. He found Hinata moving gracefully through the kitchen humming with a smile on her face. "Smells great, Hinata," he walked into the kitchen. She jumped startled by his sudden appearance.

"Thank you, Naruto-kun. Um, it almost finished." She smiled.

"Uh, let me at least set the table or somethin' it's the least I can do," feeling a bit bad that she came over and did all of this for him and all he did was mope around.

"Uh, thank you," she turned back to the stove and soon they were both seated at the tabling eating. Naruto had just finished off his third bowl and was going back for fourth. He didn't speak much and that let her know it was worse than she thought.

"Eh, Hinata?"

"Yes, Naruto-kun," she poured more tea into his cup.

"Why are you doing all of this?"

"Well, um I-I heard what happened and I hadn't seen you around so I figured you must be taking it pretty badly." A while ago as he walked her back to the Hyuga compound Kiba had told her the news.

"She finally dumped his ass," Kiba exclaimed his hands laced together behind his head.

"What do you mean, Kiba-kun," her eyes widened with curiosity.

"Sakura, finally dumped that Naruto-baka, ," he laughed. Hinata hated to admit it but the news made her little happy. "Yep, they say he won't even come out the house. Some birthday gift, eh?"

"Naruto-kun," she whispered and clasped her hands together in concern.

"Tch, He's such a baka. I don't know why he was even going out with the flat chested bitch in the first place, she doesn't even have ass to make up for it" he scoffed.

"Kiba-kun, stop" she gasped and nudged him.

"I'm serious. He's stupid, should've picked you," he sighed. Akamaru barked in agreement and Shino simply hnnn'd to show his support. Hinata giggled a little.

"You're too nice, Hinata," Naruto picked at his noodles.

A/n: It's just the start I promise it speeds up from here lol and I kinda want to have suggest songs to at the begining of chapters like background music because I'm really big on music and that's what I was listening when I was writing so yea... thank you for reading!
