For the Sake of Love

**This story goes out to LilHaruko, who insisted that I continue. I couldn't just leave my home-girl hangin', ne?**
It had been about a week since Hinata got out of the hospital, and Naruto visited her every day at her old training grounds. Hinata was quite discouraged, she would never be a kunoichi again! Her family was ashamed of her and her father decided that she would be locked away, like her mother, and would marry someone...Perhaps Neji.
But she had run away. She was now living in a tree, near Team 8's training grounds, and Naruto had just found out ten minutes ago. He had thought she just spent a lot of time there, reminicing!
"Hinata-chan!" called out Naruto. It was drizzling at the training grounds, and he knew she was there. She always was.
He also knew that if he didn't get her somewhere warm and dry before the rain really started falling, that she would be sick again. In the hospital again.
Alone again.
Hinata's head poked out of a nearby tree. She was damp and sneezed. "N-Naruto-kun?"
Naruto frowned. She had better not be stubborn! "You're coming with me!" And before Hinata could protest, Naruto was dragging her through the misty streets of Konagakure, to his apartment.
When they got inside, Naruto let go of Hinata's hand. Hinata wearily studied his home. Trash was everywhere!
There was a baseball bat, old, dried up cup ramen, a few rats, a teddy bear, tons of dirty clothes, some old toys, and some trash that was unidentifiable.
Hinata would have been grossed out if...
A) She wasn't head over heals in love with Naruto and
B) She had somewhere other than here and a tree to go to.
Hinata looked at Naruto, who was taking off his orange jacket casually. Hinata's face blushed crimson and Naruto quickly took notice.
"G-Gomen!!!" Naruto braced himself for impact, but then realizing that Hinata wouldn't hit him, like Sakura often did, he put his arms down and put his jacket back on. Feh, she must think he's some kind of pervert now!
"I-It's okay, Naruto-kun....Erm...." Hinata muttered under her breath. It was quite uncomfortable. She loved Naruto and his house, but she didn't know what she should say next...Or do next... "Arigatou, Naruto-kun..."
"Oh, it's no problem, Hinata-chan! You can't live in a tree forever!" Naruto chuckled at her cuteness.
"I-Iie, Naruto-kun...I...I wanted to thank you...For always being there for me. When no one else was there...You were...And...Y-You were the one...I really wanted to be...there with me..." Hinata shyly admitted. Naruto's heart stopped...Was she saying...
"Well, thank YOU, Hinata!" smiled Naruto, happy that she was happy.
"You don't understand, Naruto-kun!" cried Hinata, "I love you!!" as soon as the dreadful words were said, Hinata clasped a hand over her mouth...
Naruto stared. He stared because she just stole the words he was about to say. She....Loved him?
"I....I love YOU....Hinata-chan...." he whispered...Hinata gasped.
"Naruto-kun!" exclaimed Hinata. She knew he wouldn't mess around with her heart by lying..."You...love me...?" she faintly smiled on the outside, yet on the inside she was singing and dancing from the joy.
Narut grinned foxily and kissed her. At first the kiss was sweet and innocent, but as the seconds passed, it became more passionate and he became more sure of himself.
He kissed her for a reason. He kissed her for the sake of love.
*Owari....FOR REAL!*
