Chapter 1, Night's like these.

It's nights like these when all I can think about is him. Nights where I'm alone, no one to talk to, nothing to do. Night's like these is what makes me want to scream. Everyone is out on missions, Naruto hasn't returned from his mission, its been almost four years since I've seen the idiot. I miss him, but he is not who is on my mind. I know that he is somewhere out there, thinking about me too. He had promised to be coming to visit in a few days. That was a week ago.

He went on a mission a few weeks ago, it was only supposed to last two weeks, its been three. I'm probably just worrying to much, but what if something went wrong? What if he is dead, or dying? What if I never see him again?

Its nights like these when I wish that I would never have accepted to be his girlfriend.

Maybe I'll go see Tsunade-sama. I haven't visited in a few days, I've been pressed for time with all of my running around. I'm hoping that I can find something to get him off my mind. Anything. Maybe I'll go find Kaka-sensei and ask him to train with me, I haven't seen him in awhile. I've been to busy with my training. It seems that my whole team has drifted apart. First Sasuke left, then Naruto, and now Kakashi-sensei is always gone on missions.

I feel very alone.

If it wasn't for him being in my life, I would be totally alone. Ino and I rarely talk, Hinata is always training to prove that she deserves to lead the main branch in her family someday. And the others I see here and there, but we never really talk. Rookie nine has finally grown up and drifted apart. I dreamed about this when I was younger, after Sasuke left. It used to scare me thinking that things would be this way. But I never imagined that I would end up dating him.

He had tried to kill me once, I never wanted to see him again. Sasuke and Naruto had saved me, I was scared for years after. But when I saw him again, when I was with Chiyo-sama from sand on our way to rescue him, I wasn't afraid. He had grown so much, he was taller, more muscular. His high cheek bones were more defined, his clothing had changed, clinging to his body perfectly making him look more like a man then a fifteen year old boy. That was four years ago. He's nineteen now, where as I am still eighteen. I was amazed by the shade of his eyes, so much brighter then I remembered, not as cold as they were back in the Chunin exams.

When he came to stay at our village for the Chunin exams a year after Chiyo brought him back to life Tsunade-sama assigned me to be his tour guide, showing him around the village, and to his apartment. One that was right above my own. For weeks we rarely talked, then we were both sent out on a mission together. I got to know him more, learning more about him. I was surprised most of the time when he was the one who started the conversation, asking about me some. We both became friends quickly, then after about four months he actually asked me out. I couldn't speak because I was so surprised, ended up taking me a week to answer him. Every time I would see him I would just be speechless.

Here I go again, thinking about him. I hate these kinds of nights. He is still on my mind. Still lingering, strengthening my loneliness. Where can he be? There hasn't been any letters from him since he said he would visit after a trip he had to go on. Plus, he always sends me a letter telling me that he is going to be late! No matter what. He never fails to do it, so he would have sent a letter. He knows how much I worry and how much I miss him. Sometimes I start thinking he does it on purpose. But he would never be that mean to me.

I sighed and walked around my apartment for the hundredth time trying to find something to do. I've already done the dishes, vacuumed twice, dusted, vacuumed the curtains, washed all of my clothes, dried and folded all of my clothes, fed my stupid cat that Ino got me for my birthday last year, and taken out the trash. It's 3 in the morning and I'm still wide awake.

I hate nights like these.

I want to be able to sleep. But no, he has to be on my mind. Why can't someone be home? Why does everyone but me HAVE to be on a mission right now? Naruto, Ino, Hinata, Kiba, Neji, Choji, Shino, Tenten, I even went to see if Lee was here! I really am going out of my mind!

A picture from across the room caught my eye, and I slowly walked over to it, my heart sinking a little bit lower.

Team 7. It's our team picture. Me in between Sasuke and Naruto, with Kakashi behind me. Back then things were perfect. Sasuke was still here, Naruto was here, me and Ino were rivals, having fun trying to beat the other. Before everything went down hill. I stared at the picture a little longer, then gently touched Naruto's face. "Naruto... I don't know what you will be coming home to if this keeps up." I whispered, taking a deep calming breath. I always get emotional when I think about the past, and how everything used to be. "Hurry up and return already." I gave a sad smile and closed my eyes. "I bet you've grown a lot, I know that the others have. Everyday something new happens, someone changes, someone leaves... I miss you, Naruto. You're such a baka, leaving me alone like this." After we rebuilt the city from Pain's invasion Naruto was sent out on a long term mission, looking for Sasuke. Danzo took over the title of Hokage, but Tsunade had sent him out just before it was final, so Naruto is not considered a missing ninja, and if it is he who brings Sasuke back, the death sentence on Sasuke's head will be lifted. I would have my boys back. All three of them. Naruto, Sasuke and Kakashi. Screw Sai, he's an ass anyway.

I sighed again and went over to my bed to grab a pillow off of it. Looks like I'm going to watch a movie. Once a random movie was put in, I laid down on the couch and hugged the pillow to my chest. How dandy. A love story. Just dandy. Maybe it'll be time to go see Tsuande-sama soon... Kami do I hope so...

Well? What do you think? Good, no good? What? The next chapter will be out within a few days, I am currently working on it! I hope you like it!!
