Hikari sat on a rock by a cliff. She looked down at her special necklace that her father gave her when she was little.

Father, I miss you so much. I don't know how Naruto deals with it. I hate the fact that I've been scolded and yelled at ever since you and our clan died. It wasn't the 11 Tails' fault. It wasn't my fault! If you were alive, what would you say to them? My life was ruined by him. I want attention. I only have a few best friends that love me for who I am. I don't have any girl friends. You should know that because I'm not that girly type of daughter you wanted... It's alright though! We all like the same things and we hang out alo-

"Come here often?" Naruto interrupted.

"Almost every night."

"Heh. Mind if I join you?"

"Sure." Hikari replied. Naruto sat next to her. He sighed.

"Hikari?" He asked.

"Hm?"

"About earlier, that dare that I took; to kiss you... It..."

"It what, Naruto..?"

"It didn't mean anything. You know that, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, It was a dare. Dares don't usually mean anything. They're just demands." Naruto finished.

Hikari's eyes lowered. Her feelings were hurt. Tears came to her eyes.

"Hikari? What's-"

"I get it! Now I know that we don't share the same feelings!"

"Wha..."

"I love you, Naruto! That's all I've ever wanted to confess! I don't have any other way of saying it! I don't have anyone to love anymore! My clan was killed! Everyone! I'm an orphan just like you! And I've always loved you! Ever since I first saw you by that cliff! This was that cliff, Naruto!" Hikari yelled, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Naruto's eyes glimmered with realization.

"You were that-"

"I was! And you helped me by this cliff years ago! I need that help now, Naruto!" Hikari yelled. She got up and ran into the forest.

Naruto looked down. He clenched his fist.

"I-I didn't even..." He stammered.

Hikari continued running, her tears flying past her.

He doesn't love me back! I thought he did! She thought. Then she tripped on her feet and fell to the ground. She bit her lip hard enough that it began to bleed. But she continued running home.

Why did I even tell him anything?
