A/N: My first song fic! I've been working on my other stories so I had absolutely no time fore stuff like this. But when I heard the song "Travelin' Soldier" by the Dixie Chicks, I just had to do it. Please r&r!!
Hinata was working overtime in the little café in town when her friend and former team mate, Kiba, walked in.
"I'll have a regular coffee, extra cream please," he said in a quieter voice than usual.
Two days past eighteen
He was waiting for the bus in his army
green
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
gave his order to a
girl with a bow in her hair
"Hey Kiba," said Hinata with a smile, "what's gotten you down in the dumps?"
"I'll tell you after your shift."
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
And talking to
me,
I'm feeling a little low
She said I'm off in an hour and I
know where we can go
They walked on the beach, talking about everything but what Kiba said was important.
"Let's go sit down, okay Hinata?"
So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said I bet you got a
boyfriend but I don't care
I got no one to send a letter to
Would
you mind if I sent one back here to you?
"I'm going off on an extremely dangerous mission. I don't want you to worry about, alright? I'll right to you everyday. Are you okay Hinata?"
She had started to cry. Her one and only love would be leaving her. He might not come back at all. They sat there until the sun went down and they had to go home.
I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for
him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our
love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back
again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's
coming home
Dear Hinata-chan,March 25, 2007
I miss you so much. Our mission is to defend the border and wait until the enemy declares war. At the rate they're going, we might be here for a while. The only reason our village is defending the Land of Waves is because they don't have any trained ninja. All in all, this mission isn't as hard as I thought it would be.
Love you always,
Kiba Inuzuka
Dear Hinata-chanMarch 30, 2007
I am sorry that I haven't written in so long. The enemy has declared war. Their arms seem to originate from the U.S.A. They will be hard to defeat, but we will win, and I'll come home to you. I think that I might have to help out Naruto. He never thinks before he acts. It could get us all killed.
Love you forever,
Kiba Inuzuka
P.S. I won't be able to write for a while. We don't want to give away our position to the enemy, if I sent you a letter, it would be suicide.
So the letters came from an army camp
In California then
Vietnam
And he told her of his heart
It might be love and all
of the things he was so scared of
He said when it's getting kinda
rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
And
I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
Don't worry but I won't
be able to write for awhile
Dear Miss Hinata Hyuuga:April 28, 2007
As leader of the military squad in the Land of the Waves, it is my duty to tell you that Private Kiba Inuzuka will be coming home before the rest of the troops. He served and fought bravely. You have our deepest apologies to you and his family.
Sincerely,
Kakashi Hatake
I cried

Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our
love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back
again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's
coming home
One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the
Anthem sang
A man said folks would you bow your heads
For a
list of local Vietnam dead
Crying all alone under the stands
Was
a piccolo player in the marching band
And one name read and nobody
really cared
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
