This is a little NARUHINA fanfic that I wrote when I was inspired by the song Love Story by Taylor Swift. It was a big hit on my DeviantART page so I thought that it would be good to share it on here. Enjoy!
The setting this time was a nice winter's day in London. The year was 1885 and I am now twenty years old. While my father was away on a business trip for a week I decided to take time to myself. I was at a café that I liked that was located on the wealthier side of London. I was getting some writing done; as much as I hated it, writing my day dreams about Naruto have become a habit of mine.
"Madam would you like some more tea?" A waitress asked me.
"Um, no thank you. I'm about to leave anyway." I said very politely.
As the waitress left I began to pack up my things in an organizer I had with me. I left my tip for the waitress and then left.
As I reached the end of the stairs I looked left and right before stepping onto the busy sidewalk, something I usually did. I then stepped onto the sidewalk and began to walk back home. Or so I thought. While walking I found myself going into another day dream, one I've written about before.
"Well, well lookie what we got here boys." I heard someone say behind me.
I realized that I was in an ally way. I turned around to find a group of shady boys blocking my only way out of the ally way.
"So what brings you here love?" A boy said as he walked toward me, he seemed to be the leader. "You're very pretty. I know a very wealthy man in China who's been looking for a new… toy." He said as he grabbed my chin.
I couldn't move I was too scared. I don't my life to end up like this. I don't want to become some disgusting man's servant for private affairs. I could my body begin to shake with fear.
"What seems to be the problem here, gentlemen?" I heard someone say from behind the group of boys. I saw someone standing at the ally way entrance. He was wearing a long black jacket with a red scarf tucked into his jacket collar. He also had on a black bowler hat, making it hard for me to see his face.
"Who the bloody hell are you?" The boy in front of me said, sounding angry.
"Ow, now I'm hurt. I know I'm not in my usual attire but you should still recognize me." The boy said he moved his hat back.
It was Naruto.
"What's the meaning of this?" One of the boys asked.
"So you finally stole clothes off a man's back. Didn't know you had it in you, Naruto." The boy in front of me said as he crossed his arms.
"What are you talking about these are mine. I didn't steal them. Truth is I'm part of an aristocratic family. I never was a low life like all of you. And you're trying to do to my friend over there; I won't stand for it at all."
"What are you some kind of undercover detective or something?" The boy in front of me asked.
"No, but I do have a good friend who's family has strong ties with Scotland Yard. If you don't leave now then I would happily report your actions to his father." Naruto said with a smirk.
The boy in front of me put on a very angry look on his face. "Come on guys." He said as he began to walk out of the ally way, intentionally bumping into Naruto on the way. His group followed him.
After the boys left Naruto busted out laughing. "Wow did you see their faces? That was priceless!" He laughed.
I just stared at him confused.
"So are you ok Hinata?" Naruto asked me with his usual grin.
I realized that he was talking to me. I came back to Earth and collected my composer and began to walk out of the ally way.
"T-Thanks for the help." I said. "Now I really need to get back home."
"Are you still doing what your father tells you to do?" Naruto asked me as he stepped in front of my path.
I froze in my tracks. "W-What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Asking that again, huh? Well then, my godfather is over in America checking in on his publishing company. So I'm out with my godmother while she's shopping. She kind of dragged me along." Naruto explained.
"Oh, well, ok then." I said as I tried to walk past him.
"Hey, what's the hurry? We haven't seen each other in a long time. Why you giving me the cold shoulder?" Naruto asked as he placed his hand on my shoulder.
"F-Father said… that I… I'm not allowed to see you ever again. I can't disobey." I said in a sad tone.
"Are you still doing what your father tells you to do? Hinata when are you going to be your own person?" Naruto asked.
"What are you talking about?"
"Where's the Hinata I came to know? Why do you let your father brainwash you?"
"Naruto just be quiet please!" I shouted. I then turned to face him. "I hate listening to my father sometimes too by I have no right to disagree with him. In case you haven't noticed women don't have the same status as men here."
Naruto looked at me with disappointment. "I thought you were different." He said as he looked away.
"E-Excuse me." I stuttered.
"Every girl I've been forced to meet were all sheltered, spoiled brats. When I met you I thought you were different. I thought you were the first girl I would meet to have her own personality. But I was wrong." Naruto then walked out of the ally way and walked into the crowed.
I walked out of the ally way to find Naruto back with his godmother and holding some boxes for her. His expression was emotionless.
Now I've hurt him. I feel like a waste. I can't believe that Naruto is disappointed in me. I can't live with him feeling like about me. I have to do something.
A week has past. My father has just arrived from his business trip. My sister and I were eating dinner with him while he was going over work papers.
"So father; how was your business trip?" Hanabi asked to break the silence.
"It was good. Hinata I even met someone there who has a son that would be very interested in meeting you. They live in Italy and they said that they're going to be throwing a party next week. So if we are to make it in time we would have to leave-."
"No." I interrupted my father.
"Excuse me." My father said as he laid one of his papers down.
"I said no." I repeated. "I'm not going to be dragged to another party to meet some guy that you picked for me."
"Hinata you will go to this party." My father said sternly.
"No, I will not." I opposed.
"What is the meaning of your attitude young lady?" My father asked as he stood up from his seat.
"I'm not a 'young lady' anymore. I turned twenty last month remember. I am old enough to take care of myself. That means I don't need to be doing what you tell me to do anymore."
"Sorry but as long as you live under my roof you follow my rules." My father said.
I could feel Hanabi staring at me, waiting for what I had to say.
"Then I don't want to live here anymore." I said.
"Excuse me." My father said with a raised eyebrow.
"Neji told me that when him and his fiancé are married that he'll move in with her in New York, leaving his home in Georgia empty. He also said that he would happily let me move in there after he's gone. I think it'll be good for me."
My father stood there quiet.
"I agree with Hinata." I read Hanabi say. I turned my head in her direction. She looked at me and gave me a smile, I gave her one too. I then turned back toward my father. He stood there with his usual angry look.
"Please father. I can't stay in London forever. I want to start my own life for once, that's all I ask." I begged.
My father let out a heavy sigh.
Feedback is greatly loved.
