A Naruto Fanfic…
The Last Time
A/N: Hey guys! It's been long since I've uploaded a story… just wrote this one in a notebook days ago… I think this one's good, hope you like it!
It all started yesterday, when she talked to me while we're having dinner together…
"Naruto, I don't know how to say this to you but…"
"What is it?"
"uuuhhhmmm… well"
"What? Tell me already, I'm beginning to worry"
"Well, Kurenai sensei talked to me the other day and I think that this might be the best time to tell you about this…"
"What did she tell you? Tell me Hinata…" Naruto said with a hastier and louder voice
"Oh no… I think I'm wrong, I shouldn't have told you about this…"
Hinata suddenly stood up and ran away, she didn't want me to see it but I noticed her tears flowing down her cheek. "How could I have been so heartless to not understand her?" I said to myself. So I swallowed my guts and ran for her, leaving our dinner at the ramen stand. I caught up to her, she's still running but I tried as much as I can to at least catch her hand. Hinata stopped and said:
"Okay, just forget what I said…" she wiped her tears and continued,
"I'm just gonna tell Kurenai sensei that I wouldn't go…"
"What? Go? I don't understand, what did she tell you?"
"Well, it's like what I told you, Kurenai sensei asked me to go on a mission at the Snow country, I must guard the Emperor's daughter on her trip around the world…"
"Oh, how long would that take?"
Just as I finished my question, she dropped helplessly on her knees and covered her eyes with her hands which seems like she was crying. I went down on my knees in front of her and held her hands. I wiped the tears on her cheek with my right hand and looked at her straight in the eye.
"Tell me Hinata, you know I'll understand… whatever it is"
"Are you sure?"
"I promise"
"Okay, I trust you…"
"Well?"
"Ten years…"
That words of her stroke my heart, leaving me staring at the once again teary eyes of my beloved Hinata. She embraced me very tight. I could feel my chest moist from the tears of her eyes and smell the fragrance of her soft hair on my face. That feeling seemed wonderful at least. I thought to myself that I should cherish this moment coz I know that this might be the last time…
I wished that this moment will last forever, but the more I felt her warmth, the more I thought that time is running out. Until she said something…
"Naruto"
"What is it?"
"Can you wait for me that long?"
"As much as my heart breaks to realize that I'm not gonna see you again, I can't keep you from doing your duty as a ninja"
"Thank you Naruto, I knew that the person I loved most will always understand"
Her face neared mine and hugged me tighter. Then she kissed me in the lips… Once more I wished that the time would stop, the world to cease to turn and so that tomorrow, the day she will leave, will never come. After that heartfelt expression of emotion, she wiped off the sparkling tears in her eye and said:
"Let that kiss be my promise to you that you will always be in my heart. That will never change, forever…"
After those words, I embraced her, and kissed her for the last time but twice as long. I embraced her tighter and said:
"And let that be my promise that you have etched my heart, a mark that will remain as long as I live…"
I've let go of her… an action that I will regret all my life…
A/N: hhhmmm… thanks for reading! R&R
