Summary: I always felt like I was being watched. Watched by my guardian angel. Oneshot. Naruhina
My Guardian Angel
For years I felt like nobody loved me. I thought that hate full glares and cold whispers from the adults was all that I would ever know. So I put on a mask of cheerfulness and stupidity to try and hide my pain and gain attention.
It only made things worse.
The glares only intensified and the whispers became worse. Even the other kids started to hate and ignore me. Nobody wanted anything to do with me and thought I was a failure.
Everyone but you.
Through out my days at the academy I felt like I was being watched and followed. At first I was afraid that it was someone looking to hurt me. But when I looked around no one was there.
Gradually I became used to it, and even began to like the feeling. I felt safe for the first time in my life. When I asked hokage-jiji-san about it, he smiled and told me that it must be my guardian angel.
I began to look forward to the feeling of warmth that came with it, the faint smell of lavender that signified my guardian angels presence. For years I would wonder who it was, but could never find out.
When I graduated from the academy, I could no longer feel my angel's presence wherever I went. I was afraid and upset by this, that my angel was gone.
When the chunin exams came around for the first time, I felt it again, during the first part of the test. The feeling of being watched, the warm comforting presence, and faint smell of lavender. That's when I heard a small quiet voice say, "Naruto-kun…"
When I looked, I saw you standing next to me. Your short indigo hair, your pale cream colored skin, your pupil less lavender eyes that had a nervous look, a small shy smile, along with a small blush on your face.
"Let's do our best."
I smiled, not sure what to say. When we were younger I never knew much about you. I knew that whenever I looked at you, you'd blush and look away of faint. I always thought you were just weird, missing all the signs that are apparent now.
But throughout the exam, you'd show me random acts of kindness. Letting me cheat of your test, giving me some healing salve after I beat your teammate, and other acts of kindness.
Then you had to fight your own cousin. When he started to berate you, tried to break your spirit, I lost it. I may have thought you were weird, but I new you were a good person who didn't deserve what he said. So I got angry, and started to yell that he was wrong, that you are strong and to stand up to him.
And it worked.
You adorned a look of determination that no one had ever seen form you. You fought him bravely, even though you new you would lose. In his anger he tried to kill you and almost succeeded. When you were taken away I swore on your blood that I would defeat him for you.
But when it came time I doubted my abilities. Then I smelt the faint smell of lavender. When I looked I saw you, standing there looking away from me. When I called out your name you jumped in surprise and hid behind a post.
When you saw it was me you asked me why I was here. I told you that I was nervous and didn't think I could win. But then you said that you believed in me. You believed in me when even I didn't.
After that I felt more confident, and the warm feeling came back as I looked at you. Then I came to a realization and smiled. Before I left I said I thought you were a dark, shy, and weird girl.
"But you know what?" I asked. You looked at me with a look of confusion on your pretty face. I smiled and said, "I like people like you, my guardian angel."
A little lame I know, but it's my first time. Reviews and flames welcome.
