Title: Delusions

Summary: Naruto and Hinata both gave into delusions because it was easier. Now it's time to confront them and talk it out together.

A/N: To be honest, this is what I think will happen anytime someone says Naruto will finally see her in a new light and fall in love with her just because she confessed.

Hinata looked out from behind the trees. She saw Naruto, her boyfriend, kissing Sakura in the clearing. Holding back her tears, Hinata grabbed her heart. Now she knew why Naruto wanted to keep their relationship a secret. He wanted to sneek around behind her back.

She ran home, not caring that Naruto would hear her. Once home she rushed to her room and ignored the concerned look Neji gave her. It was all over! Their six month relationship was meant nothing to him! Why would he do this to her? Didn't he love her?

Hinata climbed into bed and hugged her pillow to her. Now what? Did she confront him? Should she wait for him to confess? Surely he heard her running out of the forest.

Suddenly she heard a knock on her window. It was Naruto. He had snuck into the Hyuuga compound to see her. Slowly she opened the window and let Naruto inside. He hesitated for a while. Then he reluctantly climbed into her room and scratched his head nervously.

"I…I don't know what to say…" he trailed off.

Hinata bit her lip.

"How long?"

Naruto looked away. Guilty.

"To be honest, this was the first time. I…I guess I just lost control. We were going over a mission for tomorrow and laughing. She looked so beautiful in the sunlight and she said that she really missed while I was away on the other mission. I just kissed her and she kissed me back. I couldn't stop." Even as he finished Naruto knew his explanation sucked.

"If this was the first time then why did you want to keep our relationship a secret? I t-t-trusted you ." Hinata stuttered.

Naruto looked away. "I wanted to keep our relationship a secret because I wasn't sure."

"You wasn't sure about what?"

"About us. About how I felt about you. I'm sorry, but I don't love you. I still love Sakura, a lot."

"Then why did you agree to go out with me." Hinata could feel the tears coming out again.

"Because of your confession."

"My confession?"

"Yes. I felt bad that you risked so much trying to save me and tell me that you loved me that I felt obligated to go out with you. At first it was just suppose to be one date, but you seemed so happy and I had a good time. I just stayed with you because I didn't want to hurt you. I thought maybe I could grow to love you but after seeing Sakura today, I knew I was kidding myself. I still love her. I love her so much and I'm so sorry for doing this to you, but I want to be happy. You want to be happy too, but can you really be happy with me knowing I don't really love you and that your whole relationship is a lie?"

"That doesn't give you the right to cheat on me!" Hinata whisper-screamed. She didn't want anyone to know Naruto was here.

"I know... I know. That's why I'm breaking up with you. I won't pretend anymore. It's over between us. As a matter of fact, it never really started. I'm very sorry, Hinata."

Hinata couldn't believe her ears. Naruto was dumping her after he cheated on her with another woman. It sounded like Naruto was just going to walk away from their relationship and run into the waiting arms of Sakura.

After everything she did for him and gave him. She nursed his wounds when he was hurt on missions, made his lunch almost everyday, and even gave up her virginity to him. Sadistically a voice in the back her mind told her that she tended his wounds after Sakura took care of the serious ones and that he went out to eat with Sakura in public much more often than he would take her out.

She was stupid and blind. She should have seen this coming. Instead she decided to ignore Kiba, Shino, and Neji's warnings and trusted Naruto. Now look where is got her. She had idolized him. Put him on some unreachable pedestal. That's had been her first mistake. Hinata gave Naruto such a pathetic, broken look that he actually cringed. Deciding it was time to go, he jumped out the window while muttering a weak goodbye.

Hinata sat on her bed once more. Today they were supposed to spend the night together to watch movies and maybe do more. Would he invite Sakura instead, not even a whole day after he cruelly cheated on and then dumped her?

Finally, she let the tears fall.
