Never Let This Go
"Naruto… is their something wrong?"
Maybe if my heart stops beating,
It won't hurt this much
"Yeah… I'm cool. Just got something in my eye," Naruto answered. I don't believe him thought the opal haired girl next to him.
"You must have a lot of things in your eye," Hinata said as she looked at the orange and black jacket draped over her fellow ninjas back.
And never will I have to answer
Again to anyone
Naruto wiped his tear stained cheeks with the sleeve of his jacket and turned to face Hinata. Naruto was shocked at the fact that for once, when his gaze met hers, she didn't faint OR blush. This was too serious of a moment for her to blush, she was to busy trying to figure out what was wrong with Naruto.
"What?" he questioned her. "You said the reason tears are coming out of your eyes is because you have something in your eye, you must have a lot of things in your eyes to make so many tears come out of your eyes," she answered, letting her gaze drift to the sun that was beginning to set in front of them.
Please don't get me wrong
Because I'll never let this go
But I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
Naruto soon realized something even more amazing than the fact that she wasn't blushing – or fainting - …she wasn't stuttering! This was all to weird for Naruto to endure any longer without figuring out what was going on.
"You're not stuttering… is something wrong?" He didn't realize how stupid that actually sounded until he had said it. He wasn't to busy thinking about the stupidity of that comment to notice the slight alarm that came across Hinata's face. She hadn't even noticed this until he had pointed it out to her. She quickly realized why and decided that she best keep it a secret and get back to figuring out Naruto's problem.
But now I feel like I don't know you
One day you'll get sick of saying that everything's alright
"What's wrong with you?" she asked, pretending she didn't even hear him ask. "Nothing," he said as he began to get up "I'm fine." Hinata noticed that he said this somewhat angrily. She was too wrapped up in this observation -and wondering what he was mad about- to notice that Naruto had begun to walk away until he was turning the corner. Naruto had been acting strangely for awhile now… disappearing to who knew where. He was also much quieter – a great thing in his teammate's eyes – and Hinata found this not only odd, but quite unnerving. She had now figured that this was his hiding place considering that he normally disappeared around this time and went off, but she had followed him this time. Hinata had asked numerous times what was wrong with her once full of spirit long time crush – which was something he was totally oblivious to – only to be answered with either "I'm fine," or "Yes, everything's alright," but he had to get tired of saying that he was fine one day or another. She wasn't sure who he was anymore, but she knew that deep down inside he had to be the same old Naruto. Hopefully, whatever had caused him to change so much, hadn't gotten too deep into his subconscious and the real Naruto was somewhere in there. Unless… this was the real Naruto and the "normal" Naruto was just an act… this thought flickered in Hinata's mind, but she quickly brushed the thought aside. She stood up and took one last look at the setting sun. She took in the violet, cherry, and golden shades of the sky and walked of to find Naruto.
Where does she get off? Naruto thought as he angrily stomped off to his apartment. Feeling sorry for me… Naruto could see it in her eyes. She felt sorry for him. Who does Hinata think I am? I'm not a weak, pathetic wannabe ninja like she is! Naruto shoved his apartment door open and walked over to his cluttered couch. Naruto pushed everything off of it and jumped on, finally remembering that his couch was a subtle blue color –he hadn't cleaned the mess on it in so long he had forgotten its color-.He buried his head into the couch cushion and eventually settled down. He knew Hinata was an excellent ninja and the fact that he was thinking so horribly of her wasn't justified by the fact that he was feeling sorry for himself. When Naruto thought about it, she was the last person he should be angry at. She was the only person that had believed in him through it all. It was all Sakura and Sasuke's faults.
"I wonder where Naruto went…" Hinata thought aloud. Hinata walked around awhile before the brilliant thought that he could've gone home crossed her mind.
And by then I'm sure I'll be pretending
Just like I am tonight
She watched the birds fly across the sky that was painted a yellow and pinkish purple color. It's getting kind of late…I guess I can go to Naruto's apartment tomorrow…" Hinata thought as she turned on her heel and began the journey home.
Because I'll never let this go
But I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
But now I feel like I don't know you
That's all for chapter 1. It kind of sucks right now…I'll try to put in more adjectives and more scenes…it'd be cool if you could keep reading. Keep in mind that I don't even watch Naruto… I just like NaruHina… I've only read like one part of the manga (the whole Neji vs. Hinata fight thing).btw, the song is Never Let This Go by Paramore
Sincerely,
