Hinata sat on the edge of the lake, crying as she looked out over the water.

Is this the way you left me,

I'm not pretending.

No hope, no love, no glory,

No happy ending.

Is this the way we love,

Like it's forever.

Then live the rest of our life,

But not together.

She could not believe Naruto asked her such a stupid question.

(Flashback)

He was in a jewellery shop when she walked past. Curiously, she walked in and stood next to him.

"What are you doing?" she asked. Naruto looked at her happily and replied,

"I'm going to ask Sakura to marry me, could you help me pick out a ring?" he asked. Hinata turned on her heel and ran out of the shop.

(End Flashback)

Wake up in the mornin',

Stumble on my life.

Can't get no love,

Without sacrifice.

If anything should happen,

I guess I wish you well.

Mmm, a little bit of heaven,

And a little bit of hell.

This is the hardest story,

That I've ever told.

No hope, No love, No glory,

Happy ending's, gone forever more.

I ... feel as if I'm wasting,

And I've ... wasted every day.

Is this the way you left me,

I'm not pretending.

No hope, no love, no glory,

No happy ending.

Is this the way we love,

Like it's forever.

Then live the rest of our life,

But not together.

"Fifty years have passed since that day, and yes, Naruto married Sakura. Hinata, on the other hand lived a quiet life in the country."

"Aunty Hyuga? Is that story real? Because the stories I know all end happily," the little girl asked. Aunty Hyuga looked down at the little girl on the floor beside her and smiled sadly.

"Yes, it is. Now do you want to hear a happy story?" she asked the children on the floor.

"Yes!" they chorused.
