Concrete Angel
Disclaimer: I do not own Concrete Angel by Martina McBride nor do I own Naruto.
Summary: Young Hinata is beaten so Naruto, an angel, is sent to help. But he's too late. 'A group of people stood around a small grave. The people who loved her were sobbing in grief. Except for one, a boy with bright blond hair stood stiffly as he looked at the grave. "Its time Hinata…"'
She walks to school
with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holdin'
back
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the
bruises with linen and lace
A girl with short dark indigo hair walked quickly out of her house. A man yelling could be heard behind her. She was wearing the same cream coat she wore yesterday. Her big, white-lavender eyes hid so many things. She trotted to her training grounds with her head down. Since her head was down, the girl didn't see a boy standing on the roof of a house near hers. She didn't see his bright blond hair, his serious yet kind blue eyes…nor did she see the large shimmering white wings on his back. He frowned, jumped to the ground and followed her as his wings disappeared.
The teacher wonders
but she doesn't ask
it's hard to see the pain behind the
mask
bearing the burden of a secret storm
sometimes she wishes
she was never born
Kuriena stared at Hinata with wise red eyes, searching her white-lavender one deeply, trying to find…anything. But all she found was defenses. This girl was strong. Yes, Kuriena had seen the fist like bruises on Hinata's arms, legs and cheek but she was ninja. Of course she'd have bruises. There was nothing Kuriena could do…
Through the wind and
the rain
she stands hard as a stone
in a world that she can't
rise above
but her dreams give her wings
and she flies to a
place where she's loved
Concrete angel
Hinata frowned as she turned around. She had hid it from Kuriena again but she also knew her body couldn't take much more of being abused and being a ninja. She'd fail soon. She sighed and wished her mother had never met Hiashi. The boy was watching from the shadows as she turned away. When he training had ended the boy greeted Hinata gracefully. They became immediate friends and walked home together when they realized they lived right next to each other.
Somebody cries in
the middle of the night
the neighbors hear, but they turn out the
lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning
comes it'll be too late
Naruto looked out the window, watching Hinata work in front of her window. He was about to call to her when a man barged into the room. Fear flashed in Hinata's eyes as she turned to face him. The man roared something at her and turned off the light. The sound of fists meeting flesh resounded through the silent night.
Through the wind and
the rain
she stands hard as a stone
in a world that she can't
rise above
but her dreams give her wings
and she flies to a
place where she's loved
Concrete angel
Naruto screamed his defiance and spread his wings, pushing out the window but a sudden ray of light seemed to stop him. A powerful yet soft voice whispered "Its too late Naruto…take her to me…" "No!" Naruto screamed tears running down his face as his wings flexed. The beautiful things seemed to glow by themselves but the glow was dimming. "No…"
A statue stands in a
shaded place
an angel girl with an upturned face
a name is
written on a polished rock
a broken heart that the world forgot
A group of people stood around a small grave. The people who loved Hinata were sobbing in grief. Except for one…A boy with bright blond hair stood stiffly as he looked at the grave. "Its time Hinata…" he whispered. No one seemed to hear him…or notice him for that matter. Naruto turned around and walked right through a sobbing, red-eyed woman and towards some trees, where a glowing girl stood. Naruto smiled at her as she looked up. White-lavender eyes met his blue ones as they embraced.

Naruto grinned widely as he tapped Hinata's back. Suddenly, two gorgeous grayish wings flexed from the space between her shoulder blades. Hinata smiled and touched the soft feathers, not asking why hers were gray and his were white. Naruto took her hand and led her towards a group of winged people. "These are your friends Hinata" Naruto said with a smile. She looked at him with happiness. "My first friends…" she whispered. He smiled wider as they came into the group of smiling angels, a light shining on them from above.
The End
