AN: Hey so here is the next chapter in my story. Sorry the last chapter was so short this one will be longer and have more dialog. Oh and for now on things will be told from Hinata's point of view and if I'm not focusing the story on her. I'll be telling the story for the characters.
Disclaimer: I do not own naruto or naruto related except this story.
Ch 2: wakeup call
As Naruto slept he drifted into a great dream. One he wouldn't soon forget. Lately he has been so confused. Confused about Sasuke, the summit, Sakura (she will always be a mystery to him and everyone else), and most importantly Hinata. He didn't know what to do at all! She shared her deepest secret with him and whoever was near them on the battlefield and he just didn't know what to do with the information that he was given. So when he started to dream things began to clear up. When Naruto opened his eyes he found himself in a meadow with nothing but grass. No mountains, no plants, not even a sky. There was nothing but grass. But then out of nowhere a tree popped up and under the tree Naruto saw two silhouettes' of people. Naruto went walked towards the tree to get a closer view. Each step he took the clearer the forms became until he stood inches away from them wide eyed. He couldn't believe what he saw. Then again it was a dream.
"Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?" asked an astonished Naruto.
"Well, you have had a lot on your plate lately son and we are here to help" stated Kushina. "Now why don't you tell us what is troubling us the most".
"Lemme guess is it a girl that's troubling you isn't it?" asked Minato matter-of-factly.
"Yeah you see this girl, I mean my friend Hinata told me she loved me before I went all kyuubi and talked to you. And it's been a couple months since then and I don't know what to do. I mean I finally get to relax and as I walked home I started to think and that's when I remembered what happened on the battlefield. Do you think I've waited too long to ask her about what she said? And then what?" asked an even more confused Naruto.
"That's why we are here to help sweetie", said Kushina "Minato, why don't you contribute something to this conversation so that our son can sleep soundly. Wouldn't that be good?"
*sigh* "Ok then, Naruto do want to know why I chose your mother? You don't need to answer, you see when I first met your mother it was in a meeting of clan leaders. And since your mother was the last remaining Uzamaki alive she was the head. And when I first set my eyes upon her beautiful face I felt butterflies and my heart felt like it would burst out of my chest. I just knew we would be perfect together", said Minato.
"That's exactly how it was for me as well darling .And since that day we got each other's back for everything and understood each other perfectly. I- we would do anything for each other so we decided to elope. Even in death we still love each other", said Kushina happily.
"Now do you feel like that with Hinata?" asked Kushina.
"Well I haven't even seen her since the battle ", stated Naruto Sadly.
"Do you remember what happened after pein tossed her aside?" asked Minato.
At that memory Naruto became angry.
"Yeah I remember, I got so mad that I became kyyubi", stated Naruto dumbly.
"Oi this is going to be harder than I thought", thought Minato.
"Naruto, what was running thought your when that happened?" asked Minato getting slightly frustrated with his son. Come on naruto think. After several long minutes of hard thinking Naruto finally got it.
"I remember now. When I was pinned down, I thought I was going to die at that moment. But then Hinata came and took on Pein.I never knew that she was so good at fighting. Especially when she did that awesome justsu that double lion fist thing. And when I thought he killed her I felt like I lost everything. The first person who actually loved me died trying to protect me", said Naruto.
"And then at the lodge what did you tell Sakura?" asked Kushina happy that her son was finally understanding.
"When she told me she loved me. I became angry. So I told her off I told her how could she lie to herself and to me. I told her when Hinata told me she loved me she meant It.", said Naruto realizing what he told his parents.
"Are things getting clearer now?" asked Kushina.
"Yeah I guess they are", Naruto said happily. He then realized how much he cared for Hinata. He may not get butterflies when he thought about her or saw her. But there is more to love than just that feeling and he had it. He had compassion, thoughtfulness (to everyone besides Sakura), and laughter to share with Hinata. But did she still love him?
"Mom, Dad, what if she doesn't li-love me anymore? asked Naruto.
"Oh honey, we don't have all the answers but Hinata always feared you didn't love her back until she mustered enough courage to do what she did .That takes a lot of guts and love to die for a person", said Kushina.
"Shouldn't I be the one to say that? After all I did save the village", said Minato jokingly chuckling.
"What I'm trying to say is you won't know until it happens. And if you don't do it soon you might regret it. Hinata is a beautiful young woman. There are plenty of guys who would make her happy as well." said Kushina.
"Ok I understand. What do think is romantic. I mean if she had to wait for so many years I better give her something special, right?" asked Naruto "What do you think I should do?".
"Well", said Minato looking at Kushina "It is almost February and February is the month of love. Put the pieces together and you will figure it out son."
"Thanks dad", said Naruto.
"Good bye son", said Minato.
"We love you", added Kushina.
"Did you know that I and your Father were best friends with Hinata's parents? Its funny how life turns out", said Kushina.
"Yeah I guess it is", said Naruto.
And with that they faded away with the breeze leaving Naruto alone. Or so he thought. Making her way across the field she looked so beautiful in a pale lavender silk dress. The settings around Naruto changed into a much better meadow. The meadow was filled with many trees and lilacs and a waterfall filling the air with a sense of peace. When she saw that he spotted her she began to gracefully walk faster to him until they were only centimeters apart from each other's lips."What do you think you should do now?" asked Hinata making his bones chill and it made him lightheaded. He then closed his eyes. And try to kiss her there was nothing there. That's when he woke up.
"Aw come on I was finally sleeping well.", and with that he went back to sleep. Unfortunately no further dreams evaded his much needed rest.
~*Hinata's P.O.V*~
I awoke to find myself crying. I had another bad dream. In it Naruto married Sakura and I never saw him again. Then I got news saying that he was brutally murdered by his wife. (Somebody should through her in the nuthouse)That's when I woke up. Thank kami it was only a dream. A trace of tears still stayed on her face. I couldn't stand being awake for another minute so even though I might have trouble sleeping. I didn't want to think about Naruto and Sakura together. I found, myself in my secluded meadow in my favorite strolling dress. I always felt better coming here dream or reality. I started to dance and hum to myself. Content with myself I lied down in the lush field of lilacs. That's when I heard footsteps. Now who would intrude in my dream? I mean seriously, who does that? I got up and started to walk. As I grew closer I saw a male figure and then I saw who it was. I looked for a place to hide but I was in the middle of the field. That's when he saw me.
"Well no pint in turning back now", I said to myself.
I steadily moved faster towards him and when I finally managed to stop we were only centimeters apart. I thought I was going to faint but oddly enough I didn't. I didn't even feel my face heating up like it normally would. And for some reason I felt like I could say anything. So I did.
"What do you think you should do now?" I asked when he was about to kiss me. ! I opened my eyes to see that my alarm went off. What bad timing I finally had a good dream in weeks and I had to be awakened so soon.
"I guess I better get up", I said to nobody. And with that I got ready for the day ahead of me.
AN: So what do you think of the second chapter? Be honest I don't mind. I tried to make it long and with lots of dialog. I hope you liked it. Please r&r.
