We will be together…. Forever

Chapter 2

The next day I woke up early. I did not want minato to eat some shitty sandwiches he made by himself, instead I wanted to make him a full fledged breakfast today. Seriously how did he survive alone for ten years.

It was raining outside. Jeez would this rain ever give me a break. I made some mac and cheese for myself and minato and left early. After all I had to apprehend a certain someone.

I rushed out of the house quickly so I didn't get wet from the rain. I sat in the red truck for a while. I don't know but it had a cozy feeling to it. The engine roared to life and I drove it to the school.

I was one of the few people that had arrived early. I killed some time reading a book from our reading list this year. It was really boring to be honest. But alas I Had to read it.

The rest of the day went as usual. Jessica kept annoying me during recess. In truth I just wanted to meet hinata once again. I don't know how but I felt a strange attraction towards her the first time we met. But she was not there at the cafeteria. The rest of the Cullens were there, all of the pairs except hinata. Maybe she didn't want to eat today.

During our biology Jessica asked me whether she could accompany me. reluctantly I said yes. I could just tell she was trying to hit on me. I just wanted to be alone but noooo she and other girls just kept following me. didn't anyone get the message that I wanted to be alone for a while. No privacy here.

When I entered hinata was not there. Did I have that much effect on her that she didn't even come to school because of me. either that girl had a lot of problems of she just downright despised me.

The day went by, I got home prepared spaghetti for minato and me. I had to make him something good.

In evening he came back from his duty. "you left early today?"

"yeah I wanted to make you something for a change. And there is spaghetti today."

"you know naruto, you should not waste your time on your old man. I can take care of myself." He said.

"no problem dad, cooking tends to take my mind off of things" I said. "and there's been a lot of things happening lately" I mumbled but minato heard it.

"well I hope you are ready for more cause your mom called and she said that you haven't returned any of her e-mails she sent you" he said in a slightly joking tone.

"and by the way I am taking you for breakfast tomorrow then you can see how I survived these last years." I chuckled at his comment. In truth I wanted to see what he really ate for breakfast.

"ok dad" I ran up the stairs to just reply to the emails. Its true that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and I did not plan to die very soon.

I opened my laptop and quickly opened my inbox. 12 emails oh my god I am gonna die.

I opened the first few emails and they were somewhat like this-

How are you naruto? Call me as soon as you get there.

Love mom

Hey naruto are you fine? please return the email at least

Mom

NARUTO UZUMAKI! I demand you to call me right now!

If you don't it will end very bad for you.(smiley face)

Love your sweetest mom

I was literally shitting my pants reading the last email. Most of them were her first getting worried then irritated and then full demon mode angry.

I quickly typed an apology letter to calm the fuming woman lest I be skewered.

I'm fine mom. No need to worry. Sorry I forgot to call you when I got here and don't get so angry. Everything is alright.

Love you

Naruto

I hope that calmed her down. Anyways after that I just ate dinner with minato and hoped that sleep would come to me to save me from the constant raining outside.

The next day minato took me to a diner in his cruiser. The waitress seemed very friendly.

"hello naruto! Did you know your father used to come here everyday for breakfast" she took a glance at minato

"but for the last few days he hasn't visited once. Do you know why?" she asked.

"that would be me. I did not know what he used to eat or how he maintained himself living alone so I made him breakfast and dinner everyday" I said.

She went away to bring our order. "she's sweet" I told minato.

"you don't remember but I used to bring you here every Thursday for dinner. She remembers you from then"

Just then a stranger came over.

"hey naruto! You remember me?" I took a glance towards minato. "I used to play Santa during Christmas" the stranger said with a grin. I was seriously getting confused. Just then minato took charge.

"Waylon, he hasn't had a Christmas here since he was four"

Just then the waitress came over with our orders. "leave them alone Waylon and let naruto enjoy his meal". She dragged the man now named Waylon away.

Hey dad did you know that man.

"yeah naruto he's one of my friends. I nice guy he is."

Then minato drove me to school. I swear it was so embarrassing I thought I might get buried with all the stares I was getting. It didn't get any better when I got out.

"I'll pick you up later ok?"

"yeah, fine dad"

As usual during recess mike was staring daggers at me while Jessica kept talking about useless things that I could care less of. It was then that I saw her once again.

Hinata was sitting with her brothers and sisters talking peacefully while not even touching her tray. I didn't know but I was starting to stare at her. Then she looked at me. my breath seemed to hitch in my throat. I quickly looked away not wanting to call any more attention.

Let her be alone then I will ask her.

At biology class I entered to find her sitting at her desk. I just went and sat there wondering what to say to her. To my surprise she was the one that started the conversation.

"hello. Am sorry I did not get a chance to introduce myself last time. I am hinata. You are naruto?" she asked. Her voice was sweet. It was the most beautiful voice I had ever heard.

Snapping away from the shock I just nodded my head "yes"

Then Mr Banner started his lecture for today "onion tip root cells. That's what in your slides right now" I looked at the microscope in front of us.

"Identify and label them in different forms of mitosis and the first team to do that will win" he went to his desk and picked something up. "A golden onion" he said with a fascinated tone.

She passed the microscope to me "you should try first." She hesitantly pushed the microscope towards me. I tried to lighten the mood "you don't have to worry. I won't bite". This caused a few chuckles from hinata.

"You were gone" I asked.

"yeah, I had to go out of town for a while. Had some personal business" I could see from her expressions that she was making an excuse. Any ways I ignored it.

I checked the slide under the scope. I had done this experiment before so there was no problem there.

"prophase" I said.

"do you mind if I check" she then dragged the scope towards herself.

"its prophase"

"like I said" I was pretty confident with myself.

"so you like the rain" she asked with a smile.

What the hell. First this girl hates me then she talks as if nothing happened and then suddenly asks about the weather. She was really unpredictable. I did what any sane person would do.

"you're really asking me about the weather"

She stopped for a second. Confused what to say. "yeah, i guess I am"

"I don't really like the rain. any cold and wet things I just dislike." I suddenly realised what I said as I then suddenly blushed. (we all know that naruto is thinking right!)

Hinata too chuckled by my answer. "so why did you move to the wettest place in the continental U.S"

She checked the next slide

" anaphase"

"mind if I check" I wanted to see if she had brains as well as beauty also.

"Its complicated" I answered her question.

Then I checked the slide. It was anaphase.

"I'm sure I can keep up" she wasn't going to let this go was she.

"anaphase" I said.

"like i said" she said confidently.

Then finally I told her. " my mom remarried and…" I didn't want to say anymore

"so you didn't like the guy or what?" she kept asking

"no it's not that. phil is really nice". She then looked away. She took the scope and checked the last slide. I don't know what happened but I couldn't look away from her. He face was so beautiful. It was a marvel to look at.

"its metaphase. You wanna check it" I trusted her this time.

"no. I believe you"

Just then MR. banner came over "you should let others have a chance too MS. Cullen"

"its not like that naruto figured out most of the slides too" she defended.

"I hope you are telling the truth MS. Cullen. I do not want my students not studying"

When the class ended she followed me out.

"why didn't you move with your mother and phil" she asked. I looked like there was no stopping her so I told her everything.

"Phil's a minor league baseball player and he travels a lot. My mom stayed with me at home but I knew it made her unhappy so I figured I would stay with my dad for a while" I told her everything.

She closed her distance with me and asked " so now you are unhappy?"

Her eyes met mine. "no" I just replied. When I noticed something.

"sorry I am just trying to figure you out. You're just a little difficult for me to read"

The last time I saw her she had white almost pupil less eyes. But now they were a darker shade of lavender.

"hey what happened to your eyes. Did you get contacts" hearing this her tone changed to a stoic one.

"the last time I saw them they were white and I don't even think that that was normal but now they are lavender"

She got uncomfortable now "yeah, it's the fluorescents" then she just walked away and ended the conversation.

Well that was weird. I didn't see her for the rest of the day. After school I waited for minato to come pick me up. I swear this is the last time I would sit in the cruiser.

When minato picked me up I could see a serious look in his face. "what happened dad ? you don't look in a good mood today"

He recovered from his mood and smiled at me "its nothing naruto. I've just been having some trouble at work"

"you can tell me, it will help sharing your problems with others" I tried to comfort him

"its just that there have been some recent killings around town. Some kind of animal attack"

"an- animal attack?" I asked in a shaky voice.

"you're not in phoenix anymore naruto. Things like these happen time to time"

" ye- yeah ok dad" honestly I was very scared. I mean I had never encountered any a wild animal before let alone a mindless beast that's out there killing people.

"don't worry naruto. I won't let anything happen to you. At least not when I'm around" it was nice that he was trying to comfort me. I did not want these thoughts get the best of me so I decided to change the topic.

"hey dad do you know anything about the cullens?" I wanted to get some answers as soon as possible. Of all the people that I had met the Cullens were the most mysterious.

"well I don't know anything about the kids if that's what you want to know but DR. Cullen is a nice man. He is one of the best doctors around here. seriously with the amount of experience he has he could work anywhere. But her wife likes the quiet life of forks so they have lived here for quite a while. And I must say he looks unusually…. well preserved. Its like he doesn't age or something."

Great! More mysteries for me. first I find that the cullens keep away from everyone at school. Then suddenly hinata tries to be all friendly with me and now this new info about their parents. I swear I am gonna go crazy with all these mysteries.

In evening I called mom. I thought she might have cooled down by now. Oh boy was I so wrong….

"naruto uzumaki! why didn't you call me! I've been worried sick since I last called you"

"yeah sorry about that mom I sort of just got carried away with all that's been going on"

"ok fine! I forgive you. So tell me what's been happening that's been keeping my son busy"

"I'll tell you later mom but first you gotta tell me how's life with phil?"

"yeah about that, listen if phil's tournaments go well we could me moving to florida! 'please insert additional dollar for continuing the call' "

"hey mom where's your cell phone?"

"don't laugh, I didn't lose my power cord It ran away"

"hehehe. Mom you're so clumsy. What would you do without me"

"I literally repel technology now. Ok now answer my question. How's your school. Are the kids there treating you right? And are there any cute girls there?"

"well, all I can say is that they are all very welcoming and mom why do you always want to talk about girls"

"that's because I want to see my son happy and you seriously need to get a girl in your life or you're gonna be miserable for the rest of your life"

"sheesh mom stop it! Anyways I'll talk to you later I got homework to do."

"ok honey. Take care will you"

Now that mom had started the topic of girls my mind couldn't help but think about one girl in particular. I had never encountered any girl more mysterious than hinata. For me girls were pretty much like an open book only one thing governed them at this stage. And that was love.

But hinata was different, somehow it felt like she was hiding something. And that just made me want to know more about her. She was also not one of your typical high school teenager. She was like an anomaly in my definition of girls.

It started snowing outside. White flakes of heaven fell from the black sky which was lit by a full moon in all its glory. Even the weather reminded me of hinata. It seems like she really is on my mind all the time now.

As I walked out of the house towards my truck I failed to notice the glistening white surface of the road.

"WHOOOSHHHH!" I fell with a slipping sound right on my butt. Minato rushed to pick me up. "you ok?"

"yeah, I still haven't got used to this weather and now there's ice all over the place now."

"I got new tires for you. The old ones were worn out so…"

"thanks dad"

"also there's ice all over the road so drive slowly and carefully"

Minato was correct as almost all the road from our house to the high school was covered in ice. When I arrived at the parking lot I could see the shiny Volvo hinata drove. She was across the lot. I got out to talk to her. She looked at me and I at her. And then it happened.

Out of nowhere a van came sliding towards me at an uncontrollable pace. There was nothing I could do. At that moment my feet were not responding. I fell to the ground waiting for the van to come and crush me. I took one last glance at hinata. She was not there anymore. I closed my eyes one last time before I felt a push not from the direction I was expecting. Something was pushing me towards the ground.

I opened my eyes and realised what had happened. Hinata was right in front of me. one hand pushing me towards the ground while other on the van that was out of control just a second ago. There was a dent where her hand was on the van. I know it seemed impossible but hinata had just stopped a van with just one of her bare hand.

I looked at her once more. Her eyes looked worried. They seemed to be asking me 'are you alright.' By the time the realization of what had happened hit me, hinata stood up from where I laid on the ground and dashed towards her Volvo along with the rest of her siblings.

Immediately I was surrounded by hoards of students asking how I was. Jessica shouted "somebody call an ambulance!"

Eric had a phone in his hand "I've got 911 on the phone!"

From the cracked window of the van came tyler. There was a deep cut on his forehead and he had a broken nose. "I'm so sorry naruto. I didn't mean it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry"

The rest of the things happened in a rush. I don't even remember how I got in an ambulance and when I reached the hospital.

Finally at the hospital I calmed down and regained some of my composure to understand what exactly had happened.

I stood in front of my truck far away from hinata. Check.

An out of control van came rushing towards me. check.

Next thing I know hinata was in front of me and had stopped the van with her hands. Check.

Wait what !? how could the last part happen. I mean seriously not even a wrestler could stop a van at that speed without some damage. Hinata had some serious explaining to do.

Minato came rushing towards the hospital room. "naruto! You ok?"

"yeah I'm fine dad"

"you could've been killed you understand that"

"yes, but I wasn't so just calm down" minato calmed down after a while. His age old problem of not being able to convey his emotions finally catching up to him.

Once more the door of the room opened and a man who looked like in his early thirties came in. he had blond hair, was unusually pale and had golden eyes. He wore a doctor's coat.

"I heard the chief's son was in here" the man spoke

"ah Dr Cullen"

"Charlie. Don't worry I'll handle things here."

The now identified Dr Cullen was true to his description. He looked really kind and had a warm smile.

" so I heard you took quite a spill huh naruto. How do you feel?"

"good" I could only say that much. I was too busy admiring his perfect face. Were all the cullens good looking. Well I got the answer to that now.

He started examining me. "now you might experience some post traumatic stress. No signs of any head trauma or loss of balance but other than that you look fine"

"you know it would have been a whole lot worse if hinata wasn't there. She knocked me out of the way" I lied. If I had told the truth they would lock me up and tell me to stay another night because there was something wrong with me.

"hinata? Your girl?"

"yeah it was amazing. She got to me so fast. She was nowhere near me."

"sounds like you were really lucky" now Dr Cullen also started acting weird. He seemed to avoid the conversation. Finally he left in a hurry.

"dad can I go to school now" I wanted this to go as usual like nothing ever happened. But I was disappointed.

"no you can't and even if you wanted you couldn't because I don't think today's gonna be school today. Almost all of the students are here to see if you are fine. A certain someone I think Jessica kept wanting to meet you until I asked her to go away. You got some serious friends naruto"

Holy shit! I became the centre of attraction once again. It seems luck was never on my side.

As me and minato got out of the room he spoke once again.

"i have to sign some paper work so I'll meet you later. And by the way I think you should call your mom"

"oh my god you told her! She's gonna skin me alive!" I stared angrily at minato whereas minato gave a look which clearly said 'what else could I have done.' Then minato too left.

That was when I heard some whispers-

"what else would I have done. I couldn't let it crush him"

"this isn't just about you. This is about all of us"

"I think we should take this discussion to my office"

Across the corridor sasuke along with Dr Cullen and hinata were talking to each other. Sasuke was glaring at hinata who seemed unaffected while Dr Cullen or Carlisle who minato had called him once I think was acting as a mediator.

When they saw me sasuke glared daggers at me. I looked at hinata and asked "can I talk to you for a minute?"

Sasuke along with Carlisle left together and hinata came towards me.

"what?" she talked in an annoyed tone.

"ho-how did you do that?, how d -did you get over to me so fast?" I felt nervous talking to her. I hadn't felt like this ever. Maybe it was the level of power she had displayed that caused this to happen.

"don't you remember. I was standing right next to you"

"no, you were standing next to your car across the parking lot" I didn't know why she was lying but she was hiding something.

"no I wasn't" she said smiling. Was this seeming like a joke to her?

"yes you were. Don't lie to me"

"naruto, you've hit your head a little hard. I think you're confused"

"I know what I saw" alright this was getting irritating. Now I was sure she was hiding something.

"and what was that?"

"you- you stopped the van. You pu- pushed it away from your hand"

"well nobody's gonna believe you so.."

"I wasn't going to tell anybody. I just need to know the truth"

"cant you just thank me and get over it" she spoke in a threatening tone. She was intimidating me and surprisingly it was working.

"thank you" I said hurridly.

"you're not gonna let this go are you?"

"no"

" well then I hope you enjoy disappointment" and then she left.

Wow. This girl was full of surprises. Not only did she scare me but in a sort of a way she attracted me a lot. But I was not gonna let it go that easily. Someway or the other I was gonna get all my answers from her.

After calling my mother and somehow surviving from her freaking episode that she had my thoughts once again wandered towards hinata and all of the things I had learnt about her in the past days. What I didn't know that once I had solve her mystery some drastic changes were to take place in my life.
