1All was well, between Naruto and his new girlfriend Hinata. Two weeks ago, Naruto had finally opened his heart out about the sleepless nights and regretful moments that he had lived without her. Of course, with Hinata feeling the same about him, accepted his request of her being his girlfriend. The new duo spent the last couple of days going on romantic dates, (Naruto actually got these ideas from Sasuke who noticed that the two weren't doing anything the first week.), leading up to this day. Naruto woke up from the piercing screech of his obnoxious alarm clock. He pulled the bedspread off of his head and slapped the alarm's snooze button.
Nothing happened...
Naruto, who was now aggravated by the piercing screech of the clock, pounded his fist on the top of the clock.
Once again, nothing happened...
Now ticked off, Naruto pulled a kunai out from under his pillow and impaled it through the clocks screen. The clock then gave a crackle and a pop, and then started smoking. Naruto kicked the clock onto the floor as he rolled over onto his back and stared at the ceiling.
"Damn clock" he thought to himself. "Why the hell is it waking me up so early?"
Today was the big day that he was waiting for and prepared for ever since he first decided he wanted to spend his life with Hinata. And, even though today was that day, all he could think about was how much that alarm pissed him off. He stared at the ceiling for another moment until it finally dawned on him.
"Oh, crap! I'm having breakfast with Hinata in an hour!!"
He scurried out of bed, hopped out his clothes, and jumped into the shower. He turned the shower and bit his lip, pushing his head into the wall of the shower as he waited for the frigid water to warm up. Once it had, he frantically began washing his body, shampooing his hair, gurgling with the water that came out of the head, anything that he could perfect so that he was nice and clean for Hinata. After his shower, he brushed his teeth, washed his face, combed his hair(Which was futile because of how it went back to it's original spikey-haired state),flossed, brushed his teeth again, put on some boxers and sprinted into the kitchen.
"I need to make ramen!" he shouted. He pulled a pot out of the cabinet and filled it with water as he placed the pot on the stove and turned the dial to six. He rushed over to the refrigerator and opened it. Inside sat a large purple box with a black ribbon on it.
"Okay. Water's boiling, present is nice and chilled..." he thought as he took the present out of the refrigerator and sat it on the counter near the door. "Now, what am I going to wear?"
He dashed into his room and threw open his closet.
"Let's see here...Jump suit..Jump Suit,,Oh! That's- another jump suit...Argh!" he cried as he launched himself inside and searched for anything that wasn't what he normally wore.
He ultimately ended up with a pair of khaki slacks and a black polo shirt. He threw them on, put on some deodorant, grabbed his wallet and put it in his pocket, and headed back into the kitchen. The water had began to boil, so he threw some ramen into the pot and waited. He looked at the microwave. 8:45...
"Damn, ten minutes." he thought.
He went over to the cabinet and pulled out a basket. He placed a folded picnic blanket and Hinata's present inside and a couple of bottles of water in it. Now he waited for the ramen to become tender. Once it had, he stirred it around tor a while and began adding seasonings to it. Once it had reached the perfect taste, he took it off the stove and let it cool while he placed bowls, knives, forks, and chopsticks in the basket. He took out a large plastic bowl which he poured the ramen into and placed a top on it. He sat it in the basket, closed it, picked it up and hurried out the door...
He arrived a few minutes later at the tree which he and Hinata were going to have breakfast under. As he walked up to the tree, he could see she was standing next to the tree looking out into the fields as the wind blew. Naruto just stopped and stared at her from the back as the wind blew her hair and whatever loose ornaments she wore on her coat. But, he felt that something was not right...
"Hey, Hinata! Sorry I'm la-," he said as he hurried around the tree.
She jumped, pulled out a kunai, and put it up to Naruto's throat as though he was a threat, but she quickly subsided. She knew not to get Naruto started about her being in danger, even though...
"Oh, Naruto. It's you," she said in a relieved voice as she slipped the kunai back in her weapons pouch.
"Yeah..are you okay?" he asked noticing she was wearing her normal garb.
She grabbed his hand, "We can't stay here..you can't stay here. If you stay, we'll both be in trouble with-," she stopped talking. Hesitating once more, she looked down and put her hand on her chest, like she always does.
"Dammit, why do I always get tense like this..." she cursed herself.
"In trouble with who? Tell me! I'll beat the living crap out of them!" Naruto ranted on.
Suddenly, a figure walked out from behind the tree, behind Hinata. Because of the shadow of the tree and the fact that Naruto could only see the person's profile, he had no idea who it was. It quickly stepped forward and struck Hinata in that back, causing her to fall into Naruto's arms, incapacitated.
"Hinata! What the hell?" he cried.
He looked up and saw that the blur that had struck her had actually been Neji, Hinata's proclaimed brother.
"Neji? What's your problem, man?" Naruto shouted.
"My problem, Naruto," Neji answered. "Is you."
Naruto carefully laid Hinata's body onto the ground and stood to Neji.
"What do you mean? Why did you do this?" he asked.
Neji pounced at Naruto and grabbed the collar of his shirt. Naruto cursed at him as he swung him against the tree and punched him in the face.
"I did it so that my sister didn't have to see this!" Neji said as he removed a kunai from his weapons holster and stabbed it into Naruto's left collarbone.
He gave out a blood-curdling scream as he dropped to his knees and put his right hand on the kunai which had impaled at least an inch and a half into his body. He held his breath for a second and held his head away from the wound as he gave a quick yank on the blade. He removed it with a sharp, "Ah!" as he began breathing hard, trying to hold back the blood. Neji squatted down to Naruto and looked at him for a minute. Then, pulling up on Naruto's hair, he punched him underneath the ribs. He cried and bent over trying to catch his breath as he began coughing. Neji pulled him up by his hair as he stood up and took out another kunai.
"I want you to say that you will leave my sister alone," Neji demanded.
A moment went by without Naruto saying anything. He was thinking.
"You know what," Naruto finally responded in a raspy voice. "You can go to hell. Hinata and I are in love with each other, and if you think I'm gonna just leave her alone because you roughed me up a little bit, well, you better pull your head out of your ass!"
Naruto quickly grabbed his arm and twisted it. He jumped to his feet, still holding Neji's arm, and kicked him in the back of his leg, causing him to fall to his knees. Then he shoved the kunai into Neji's stomach and pulled it back out. Neji fell on to his side, holding his wound as Naruto raised the kunai over his head with two hands.
"You gonna kill me?" Neji chucked once he finally looked up at him.
"Yeah, I am." Naruto replied.
"Well, then...I guess all I have to say to you is...you better watch your back," Neji smiled.
Just as Neji said that, Naruto began to bring the blade down on Neji until he felt a pain in his back and stomach.
"What the?" he thought.
He looked down and saw the end of a blade impaled through his stomach. His eyes widened as he brought his hand to his sides and dropped the kunai. As he fell to his knees the blade was pulled out of him. He dropped to the ground and stared at the sky. He looked at Neji who was now kneeling over him.
"I told you, 'watch your back' but did you listen?" he said coldly.
Naruto looked to the opposite of Neji and gasped at what he saw.
There, stood Sasuke, his best friend, holding the blood-drenched sword which he used to impale Naruto.
"Don't worry," he smirked coldly. "Your little Hinata will be fine..."
He walked over to Neji and helped him to his feet.
"Maybe if you had said, 'yeah, I'll leave her alone,' or something like that, I would have spared you," Neji mocked Naruto.
"Sa..suke?" Naruto uttered from his mouth as tears poured from his eyes, blood from his mouth, "Why?"
Just as he spoke. Sasuke stomped on his face and all went black...
"Don't die, Naruto..." was whispered...
