After Sakura left, it was just Hinata and Naruto in his apartment. They were currently watching a comedy movie. Hinata was happier than she'd been in a long time. Every time something funny happened or was said, Naruto wouldn't just burst out laughing anymore, but just a slight chuckle or a small laugh. Hinata snuggled closer to his chest; making Naruto slightly tighten his grip. After the movie, Naruto turned the VCR and the T.V off with the remotes.
"How'd you like the movie, Hina?" He said in a low voice.
All he got in response was breathing. He looked to see her sleeping. So he picked her up and lay her in his bed, while he lay next to her. "Goodnight, Hina." And with that, he fell asleep next to her. In a few hours, it'd be his birthday and the day the kyuubi had been 'killed'.
Hinata's Dream
She and Naruto had been walking through the training grounds when all of a sudden… Explosions.
She was hyperventilating. She went to turn to Naruto, but he wasn't there. Then she started to scream.
Outside Hinata's Dream
Naruto's POV
I woke up feeling something squirming beside me. I woke up to see Hinata. She was sleeping, but she was moving quite a bit. I decided I'd wake her up to ask her what was wrong. When I sat up to rub the sleep out of my eyes, she started to whisper my name. The more she squirmed, the louder she got… It was time to wake her up.
"Hinata…. Hinata!... HINATA!"
Hinata's POV
I woke up to someone shouting my name. I sat up real quick; after all, it was a nightmare. Moving on from that subject. I looked around until I saw Naruto. I launched myself at him and started crying.
Author's POV
She was terribly upset and he was greatly confused.
"What's wrong, Hina? You okay?"
She shook her head. "
I am now."
He placed his head on her shoulder; still holding her close. He held her like that for a long time until he pulled her back gently.
"There's something I need to talk to you about."
She was confused… and kinda scared, too.
"About what?"
