Naruto: Is this Love?

By Coly456

I don't own Naruto or the characters.

Waiting for Naruto to get out of the shower Hinata waited on the bed. She was thinking and comparing her life to his.

She had a family

He was and orphan

She was treated with respect

He was treated like dirt

They were at first both weak

They were both looked down on

He grew stronger fast

She grew stronger slowly

No matter how you wanted to put any of it they were from two different worlds and she wasn't happy and her life was great but Naruto was one of the happiest person she knew and his life wasn't easy.

'How does he do it?' she thought looking towards the bathroom door where he just walked out drying his hair. The seal wasn't on his stomach he had figured out a way to make it invisible and visible he had showed it to her once to her it made him more interesting knowing he was the container of a great demon, it made him more unique then he already was.

'He's special.' she thought then smiled lightly in his direction.

"What do I have something on my face?" he lifted his hands to his face.

"No nothing I was just thinking that's all. I was wondering how you did it." she giggled at the confused look on his face.

"Do what?" he came and sat at the bottom of the bed and she was on the side of the bed to his right so their backs were facing each other.

"You stay so happy, and all you want to do is help people even after all they have done, to you after all you have been through you can still smile. I can tell sometimes when its pushed though your eyes tell it all." she said looking over at him. He flopped down on the bed with his arms raised over top his head, he was looking up at the ceiling she turned fully to face him.

"I have people helping me, I use to hate the villagers, I started doing prank's to get attention and have fun kids wouldn't play with me so that's what I did. When Iruka helped me all those years ago he was the first person who cared beside's the third. Then I made a lot of friends and the mask wasn't really necessary, but some villagers still hate me even after I saved the village. It looks to other people that the comments don't effect me that's the point but the truth is they effect me a lot." he looked over at her to see her crying again she leaned down and buried her face in his bear chest again. "H-Hinata you don't have to cry." he said leaning up on his elbows.

"Yes I do you wont so I'll cry for you!" she said loudly looking into his eyes. The look in her eyes said she cared more then anything that he was happy. He laid back down and she snuggled into his side holding him closely. He didn't mind how close they were in fact he liked it. It felt natural. But it got him thinking about things to.

"Hinata?" he asked looking down at her.

"Hmm?" was what he got and she looked up at him to.

"Y-you said you loved me." he paused and she shook her head yes, "Why? I mean I'm a demon a monster how could you love me?"

"Simple, your funny, yet serious when it comes to work, you have the biggest heart I have ever seen, your strong, in both mind and body, you also know how to brighten anyone's day. Can I see your seal again Naruto." he did a few hand signs showing the seal. Hinata sat up and with a very bold move of her kissed his navel making him gasp. She then started tracing it with her finger. "This right here is also something, not only does Kyubi give you power, to make you stronger but he gives you unique features' like the whisker marks I love seeing so much." she then traced his whisker's with both hands one on each side his seal disappeared again when he closed his eyes to the feel of her touching his cheeks. "That is why I love you." she kissed him on the forehead like he had done to her before. Naruto got a fluttery feeling in his stomach when he looked back into her pearl eyes.

'Is this love?' is what he thought all night when he was trying to sleep.

When Naruto finally drifted off into a light sleep he herd a thump and a startled yelp. His eyes shot open to see Hinata laying on the floor her arms tied behind her back eyes staring up in fear at the man in front of her. Another ninja not form the leaf, Naruto then was sent flying across the room and smack into the wall when a second ninja kicked him in his gut. The second ninja then ran over and gripped Naruto by his neck and head butted him using his headband as an advantage. Naruto's head made a dent in the wall and started to bleed on his forehead near his hair line. But he still didn't collapse despite the pain running through his head and neck. He then felt a sharp pain in his shoulder's then his one side started aching as well, the ninja had stabbed one kunai in each shoulder and stabbed his side as well most likely hitting an organ considering how much pain he was in.

Hinata tried to scream but she was gagged and her eyes were watery but the tears were unshed. Naruto managed to kick the ninja in his stomach but in return got another stab in his side, before he could recover the ninjas were gone taking Hinata with them as he lay on the floor bleeding.
