No one cared about him

Everyone gave up on her

They didn't give him a chance

They always bullied her

He never backed down

She could never stand up

He had big dreams

She admired him for it

Maybe even loved him for it...

I layed in bed for hours thinking about her. I tried to remember how she used to be. About the shy ,little Hinata I used to know. "Ummmmm...HHi...Na..Naruto". Had the years really changed her that much? He looked out the window at the bright ,full moon. He decided to try and find her in the morning. But for now he should try to get some shut eye before the sun rose.

When it was finally morning Naruto got up ,got dressed and had a quick bowl of ramen before going to see Tsunade. He didn't know where Hinata lived and thought if anyone knew where she lived it would be Tsunade. She knew everything about the villiage.

"Back for another mission already, You just came home from your last one" said Tsunade when she saw him walk in.

"No not yet I was wondering if you could tell me something"

"And this something would be"

"Well its more of a someone"

"Who then"

"Hinata ,Hinata Hyuga tell me where she resides"

"Your guess is as good as mine ,She doesn't live in the the village anymore as far as I know. Why do you want to know anyway?"

"I saw her yesterday after I returned to the villiage. I...I wanted to talk to her again ,but I don't know where she is and I thought if I could find out where she lives maybe I could find her ,but as you can see thats not working out so well"

"Well your probably the first to see her to in a long time ,but if you saw her just yesterday she might not be too far away" Naruto sighed at her remark.

"Yeah I guess your right ,Thanks for your help" and with that he went outside. He decided to go back to the waterfall to see if she was there again.

--HINATA--

Hinata pressed the apple to her lips. She was sitting silently in a tree branch high above the ground. "You are a disgrace to our family" SHUT UP "Your weak Hinata ,Hanabi is five years your junior and still she surpasses you" SHUT UP "Give up Lady Hinata you know you can not win" SHUT UP "Why were you even born"

"I SAID SHUT UP" and with that she threw the apple to the ground.

"Dammit I hate this" She put her hands to her face. Tears rolled down and she quickly wipe them away. She then started jumping through the trees.

--NARUTO--

I've looked everywhere. Where in the hell could she be? After searching and asking people if they've seen Hinata ,he decided to go back to his house. What else was there to do? He layed on his bed and just stared at the ceiling till finally he dozed off.

Two hours later he awoke to his stomach growling in hunger. He got up and streched. He decided to make another bowl of ramen. Naruto went to the cuboard in the kitchen and grabbed an instant thing of ramen.

"So tell me did you have a nice nap". Naruto jumped. Dropping his beloved ramen to the ground.

"I'm sorry did I scare you"

"No you didn't You just surprised me...I..". Hinata pressed her finger to his lips.

"Oh don't be so sure I can be quite scary". She pulled her finger from his face. She walked out of the kitchen into the living room. Leaveing Naruto shocked in the kitchen. He pulled himself together and followed her.

"This is a nice place. How'd you come about it?" She asked.

"Oh this it's not much . It's just where they put people like me".

"What do you mean people like you?"

"People without family or a home for that matter"

"I see. I'm sorry to bring that up. I...".

"Why did you come here?" he interrupted her.

"Why does that matter ,I'm here aren't I. What more should you want?". She stood facing the window. Her eyes never showing a bit of emotion or care.

"I've been looking all over for you"

"And why is that?". She turned now faceing him. Her eyes giving a theatening look.

"Why do you find me introresting all of the sudden,I mean yes I did almost try and kill you yesterday ,but that can't be why your so determined now or is it"

"What do you mean". Naruto didn't understand what she meant by this. She acted as if he had never been there for. That he never cared about her. This was simply untrue.

"You never cared before ,or for that matter even noticed me before"

"I do too ,your being rediculous Hinata"

"No I'm not Naruto , I know too well that you only have eyes for Sakura and it doesn't matter what I do...Oh why am I doing this. I shouldn't have said anything or even come for that matter...You just don't understand Naruto". She turned to the window and opened it. But before she could head out there ,Naruto grabbed her arm.

"What do you mean Hinata ,you have always been a close friend of mine"

"Really could have fooled me. I didn't think I was even that much in your eyes"

"What are you saying". At this she turned and kissed him on the forehead.

"I'm saying the same damn thing I've been trying to tell you for years now ,that for as long as I remember I've loved you ,but that doesn't matter now ,because if you really had noticed me ,you would have known that then ,but its too late now and seeing you only makes it hurt worse". Naruto blushed.

"Then why did you come"

"I don't know why I did really ,maybe I still wanted to believe we could turn back time and then maybe you would love me ,but I shouldn't have come. I'm only tortureing myself by comeing ,but I just...I just had to see you.". Naruto could see the tears slowly drip down her face.

"We can't turn back time Naruto. This cannot be changed no matter how much I want it to be". She pulled back the arm Naruto still held and quickly wiped her tears.

"And why can't we".

"Because you still don't love me and you know that. I know that. And I know it won't change now or ever!!!". She broke into tears again.

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT NARUTO!!! IT'S TOO LATE NOW!!! I'M TOO LATE!!! I'M..."she screamed with all she possessed. Hinata held herself now and fell to her knees. She trembled all over and didn't seem to be breathing.

"It's never too late Hinata. It's not too late. I...". Naruto bent down to face Hinata. He wiped a tear from her face and whispered to her.

"Hinata I love you".OH MY GOD DID I JUST SAY THAT!!!!! I'm mean I care about her ,but I don't love her. I mean I...I.I can't I don't I. "Go Naruto". "Hey Naruto". "I never go back on my word that my Shinobi way". "Na...Naruto...I.". I can't love her...can I? Looking at her now ,with her eyes red with a few tears escapeing down her cheek, he saw something. Something that was there even now with her in tears. He saw she was beautiful.
