Author's Note: I do not own Naruto.


Chapter 1: "Dream of You"


Hinata is having a dream about Naruto. She wants to tell him how she feels, however, the words will not come out. She then has multiple flashbacks . After some more dreaming, she wakes up, frustrated, tired, and not being able to sleep anymore. She goes to the bathroom to splash her face with cold water. Hinata gazes at herself in the mirror...she is 18 now, and so much has happened in her life. She can legally drink and do many adult things. It is 6 AM, so she prepares a ramen salad for breakfast...

Naruto is tussling in his dream. He just defeated Pein by using a rasen-shuriken. He wasn't able to go on missions for two years due to overuse of that technique. He himself is also 18 and like Hinata, he's gone through a lot of stuff in his lifetime. His dream next flashes about Hinata. Then it slides into an instance where after throwing 1200 kunais to the targets on a tree, he collapses. He then wakes up in a smiling Hinata's arms. She simply says, "Naruto-kun." Before he has anytime to react, he wakes up.
