I first wrote this after I read some of latest chapters of Naruto...I felt so sad for Hinata I cried lol
disclaimer: I don't own anything...
Just Beneath The Surface
Sometimes things seem to be ok
When you make me forget
The dreams
The memories of those times
I shoved everything into a shoebox
And hid it under my bed
But when no one is looking I admit
Your smile
Helps me sleep
I'm not that little girl you saw
Peering from behind the door
All shy and forlorn
Anymore
I hope
She knew she was being selfish but she loves...she had loved all her life and she couldn't stand to see him suffer like that.
Hinata couldn't him die especially not before her.
Naruto...in the end he was much more important than she ever could be and if she was going to die it might as well be in front of the boy she felt so much and so many feelings for, even if he never returned them.
Because if you love someone you would do anything for them whether they want you to or not...you have to trust them and believe in them, she knows this but just this once...just this once Hinata wanted to be selfish, to do something for Naruto even if it saddened him.
After all, really, if it took this long and she still had to sacrifice her life to protect him for the blonde boy to see what was just beneath the surface then he was truly blind...
Hinata could be as selfish as she liked even if she was dying, blood seeping out her and soaking into her long indigo hair, because selfishness is what finally got him to look at her...
