A/N; Holy s**t! Two updates in one day! The world is ending!!!!! AAAAAARRRGGGHHHNNnot really ^_^.
K: It can't end, Obama hasn't been sworn in yet!
Anyway, for those of you, I mean you three in the front-ish, The ASPCA Pwned Me, bittersweetironeeeyy, and sillymail, this is for you! All of you have written lovely, in some cases extremely short, reviews. I'm workin' on a SakuNaru one for you guys, BSI and SM. (Bittersweetironeeeyy and Sillymail) That should be up soon, depending on external stuff. I shall save the senseless rambling, as well as several messages, for the end of this.
So, without further ado:
Naruto
(Hinata
pairing)
I know it's you
At least, I'm pretty sure
Always following me
Watching me
I'm not that stupid
The traces you leave,
Like the light scent,
A mix of lavender
With a hint of mint
Everything you touch smells like it
Part of the reason I bought that soap
I never use it,
I just smell it
I can sense you, too
Hiding behind a wall,
Or a tree
Or a bush
I never let it show, though
I guess 'cause I'm a coward
Well, on some level, anyway
You were always there,
The silent cheerleader
Giving me strength
Giving me courage
Just the sight of you
The slightest whiff lavender or mint
Swells my heart
To the point
Where I almost can't breathe
I could always tell
When you were near
The hair on the back of my neck
Standing on end
When I feel your eyes
The beating of my heart
That speeds up so much
When I see your smile
That's why it hurt
So very much
When I saw your fear
When you saw Neji's name on the board
That's why I screamed to you
Shouting my support
When everyone else was silent
Rooting for you
Even as you were taken away
Nearly unconscious on a stretcher
That is why
I fought so hard
To beat him
I did it for you
He hurt you
It wasn't for his comments
But his inability to see
Your strength
Your power
Your will
…your beauty
I always admired that
Even when others doubted it
I could see it in you
The potential
The greatness
Welling in you
Waiting to be let out
To shock the world
And if that day never comes
Just know this;
I will always be there
To hold your hand,
If you need it
To catch you,
If you ever fall
And maybe,
Someday
I'll gain the courage
To tell you this
Over Ramen
Or with a ring
A/N; I have no idea of what happened with this thing. One minute, I'm listening to the Daily Show and trying to think of what to write, the next I'm writing Naruto as some strange cross between Romeo and a deranged stalker (i.e. the soap. No idea where it came from).
To BSI, it is longer then the first two, just not as long as the last, and I promise that the NaruSaku will be better.
It's not as narrative as Hinata's, but it is a great deal more speculative, so I guess it fits in some odd way… Anywho, I promise to make the next one better, but, in the mean time, I would be much obliged if you would take a look at my other new poem. It's called Dark, Now Father, now available on computer screens near you. If I could maybe get some input on that…? Yes? No? Perhaps?
Thank you, and good night!
