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!
