The pitter-patter of the morbid rain drizzling on any unlucky local in Konoha, covered the vast sky. Dark disfigured clouds hung in the sky giving every person there, their own sad story. However one stuck out more than the rest. One act which was so incomprehensible, it left one women wishing for hell itself to descend on all of the land so that everyone would know the kind of pain she felt. There was only one thing that could turn this worlds closest thing to an angel into a broken nobody. That was: Betrayal.
As Hinata laid in the dark on her cold welcoming hard wood floor, the only light being shown through the window were little rain droplets that shadows cascaded around the furniture. She was distraught and physically drained she was dressed in the baggiest attire -which gave her the impression she was floating- and her damp hair was clumsily flown in many directions. Hinata felt her whole body turn to ice, it became so numb all she could feel was the beating of her own heart. With each passing second her body was deactivating and she was slowly losing consciousness of the world around her. She could only think, 'What do I do now.', ' What do I do with a life that I already given to someone else. Someone that would cruelly throw it away?' If Hinata had not been so depressed she would have cried, but as she stared out the window in some odd way she felt did not need to cry, the heavens were already crying for her. The rain trying to wash away the other persons sin, but it couldn't.
*Thump* *Thump*
Hinata gracefully turned her head to only have her view blocked by the massive couch, she made a mental note to burn it later. The weird thumping noise she heard was coming from the door, and she knew all to well who was there. That made her feel like crying even more, luckily for her the down-pour out side became harsher.
*Thump*... *Thump*
The constant banging was going to drive her crazy. So she only had one option, to face the sin that didn't even know it had been caught. Slowly walking towards the door, Hinata counted every step she took. Every second that past'd, until she would have to see his face. Turning the knob ever so slowly, she let go of the breath that she didn't even know she was holding. As the door slightly cracked ajar the sound of the rain echoed throughout the home, making the situation all the more real in her eyes. Finally opening to the door fully, she kept her head down, she did not dare stare into his eyes. Only looking at his warn out, tattered shoes, until something else echoed through her head. His voice.
"Hey Hinata, I'm home. Sorry to knock so loudly I forgot my keys!"
She visibly stiffened at his voice, she was filled with so much disgust that before thinking she stared him straight in the face. Her whole resolve almost crumbled.
There he was, as handsome as ever. His shining golden locks that broke the dreariness that was the sky, and his oh so blue eyes that put any color of blue to shame. The added effect of the rain dripping down his face -and later resting god knows where- gave the added bonus of his gorgeous stature. As she continued to stare, she saw his eyebrows drop into a worried expression. He then said the one thing that could only drive her over the edge.
"My Hime, is anything wrong?"
Still standing at the front of the door leaning on her side, she gripped the knob and said.
"Please...l-leave."
It was barely over a whisper and with the added rain one would think he hadn't heard, but he did. Slowly confusion became etched on his face.
"What?"
It was now her turn to answer, but she could only repeat herself.
"Leave, Naruto..."
The sadness dripping from each word she spoke. She knew she wouldn't be able to last any longer she was already going weak in the knees, seconds away from collapsing.
Naruto froze, he stared at his wife with eyes of bewilderment.'Did she just tell me to leave?' He thought, he knew for a fact that his wife had she adored him and loved him for many years to no possible end. Why was she telling him something like this, he could even hear it in her voice of how much those words pained her to even speak them. He tried to rack his brain as to why she would be saying this, till it dawned on him. 'Did she see?'
By the time he asked himself this question, he saw Hinata already slowly closing the door. He quickly pushed his foot in blocking it from closing. Hinata was so shocked she stared straight at him in bewilderment. Bad decision.
"Wait Hinata!" Naruto called out.
Hinata turned her head, she couldn't look at him. He was crying, and he had no right to be.
"Please Hinata, look at me. I can explain everything."
Against her will she looked at him again. "Really!?", she whispered choking back a sob "Go ahead and try."
Naruto looked at his beautiful wife, it pained him that he was the cause of this expression on her face. It killed him that he couldn't think of any possible way to fix it. He didn't even believe that he could forgive his own actions. For once Naruto had nothing to say, she gave him a perfect opportunity to save himself but he came up with nothing.
"..."
Hinata chuckled slightly to herself, she came to the conclusion that her depression was slowly making her insane. As a chilly wind blew through the door it moved all of the hair covering her face behind her. All you could see left in her face was the look of a broken women.
She was about to say something vicious that she knew she would probably, slightly regret later on. However she was stopped by Naruto's words.
"I-I'm sor-ry... H-hinata please forgive me." If this had been a different situation Naruto would have chuckled at the way he was stuttering, like how his wife use to.
"No!" Hinata said bluntly.
Her quick answer stopped Naruto's unwavering begging, as he stared down at her. She was still looking away from him, but the way she answered gave him an image of her staring him down, down to the bottom of his tainted soul never looking away.
"Why!?" Naruto knew he was being selfish but he couldn't help but to ask.
"Because Naruto, I'm done." This time Hinata willingly looked Naruto straight in the eye. Tears finally streaming down her face.
" All my life I have given my whole to you, and for two years now we've been married and I've gotten only a fraction of my love that I so willingly gave to you." Hinata's sobs were loud and long, but you could still perfectly hear all she had to say.
"But..." Naruto tried once more.
Hinata silenced him by putting her index finger upon his lips. She could still feel the forgotten rain on his skin as she slowly and lightly pushed his body out from the the door fully closed, she then added her final two cents.
"Go back to Sakura, Naruto. I'm sure she's waiting."
With that said, the door shut, and Hinata walked away. She crawled back to her previous position on the wooden floor, but this time she wasn't listening to the company of the rain. She was listening to the yells, screams, and pounding on the door of her unfaithful husband.
"Hinata!"
"Please, open up!"
"Im so sorry!"
"Forgive me!"
"Hina, open the door..."
Silence...
"I- i love you Hinata... so much!"
"Happy Anniversary!" He finally whispered, turning towards the darkness behind him that now was night.
Hinata lied there, slumped on the ground shaking uncontrollably, it was all to much. She needed sleep, she craved it. Seconds later before she was about to achieve her state of nirvana, she thought to herself. 'Was what happened, really worth all this.' She didn't want to think anymore it was to painful. Her body shook from her silent sobs as she was drifting off to sleep with one of the saddest smiles that ever graced her a beautiful face. The rain outside roaring as if it was in agony.
Hinata walked to the market smiling happily, the only thought running through her mind was how perfect today was. She was going to celebrate her two year wedding anniversary with the love of her life. Nothing could compare to being Mrs. Hinata Uzumaki-Namakazi, even with all the trials they originally faced. For example, her clan kicked her out as soon as they found out about the engagement with Naruto. It hadn't mattered that he was the hero of the shinobi world and soon to be Hokage. In the Hyuga elders eyes, he still was not a fit candidate.
Hinata sighed, to herself. She would only depress herself if she kept thinking about it, it was suppose to be a joyous day, the celebration of the day her and Naruto became one. In both mind, body, and soul.
As dawn quickly settled over the village Hinata had finished gathering everything she needed for was just heading back to the newly purchased house she and Naruto occupied, when she spotted his golden unruly mane. Out of reflex she hid behind a nearby pole. Hinata lightly giggled at her old habit, she stopped when she saw where he was coming out of.
Naruto quickly walked out of Sakura's place, he could feel emotions getting hot and heavy in there and he needed to escape. Before he could do anything that he would regret. However it wasn't that easy, Sakura kept arguing with him about something pointless, and like a idiot he argued back. When he turned around to tell her he had to go, something happened, and the bad part was that he thinks he enjoyed it.
From Hinata's point of view she saw Sakura and Naruto arguing she gave another small giggle. Thinking, 'Some thing never change.', and in a way she was right.
Hinata was about to turn to leave, when the eerie silence caught her , praying that Naruto had ran away leaving a shocked Sakura behind,Hinata turned her head.
Dropping her basket, and fumbling over her own feet landing with a thud, Hinata watched the actions that were transpiring.
Sakura. Sakura Haruno had taken Naruto Uzumaki by the shirt and kissed him. Since Naruto was somewhat to shocked to move, she then proceed to put her arms around his head deepening the already forbidden kiss. When she parted from him a small smile adorned her face.
Hinata still in her state of shock, got up from where she had fallen. Already deciding that what was dropped from her basket was no longer salvageable she turned to look at Naruto one last time.
That's when she became broken goods.
The look in Naruto's eyes were no longer a look of disgust or even outrage, what was now there was a look of lust, pure and utter eyes gave off the effect of finally being kissed by his first love, and it leaving him wanting more.
At that point Hinata was done, she believed that with time she could have just forgotten about the kiss. Not now though, not after seeing that look in his eyes, he had never given her that look. The look that screamed burning absolute desire.
Hinata believed she should've seen this coming, after all Naruto had basically been in love with Sakura almost as long as Hinata was with him.
Not only that but there had been other signs, signs she never really wanted to think of. For instance, during their marriage on more than one occasion Hinata would hear Naruto moan Sakura's name in his sleep, or other times when he would stare at her a little to long, and any time he passed a Sakura Tree he would sit underneath it and sigh with a nostalgic look on his face. A final thought occurred to Hinata. 'Did Naruto even really love her?'
As she stood there behind the pole, Hinata felt the droplets of rain make their way down. One by one. She had heard that it was going to rain today, and she thought she would have made it home before the rain hit. In retrospect, she would've. No longer caring about the couple standing in-front of the Medical Ninjas' house, Hinata walked off. Still believing she had no use for a umbrella, because now the rain was her friend, something that cried for her. Because honestly, she didn't have the strength to. So she let the rain engulf her, until there had been the dreadful thumping at her door.
A/N: Well that was depressing, I've had this story on my computer for a while now and I've finally decided to share it. One thing I want to make clear is that in no way is this going to be a Naruto bashing fic -even though it may seem like it-, after all NaruHina is my favorite Naruto OTP. Also I know that Hinata's personality right now is way different, but that will change. Even though this story is highly exaggerated I hope you still like it.
