A/N ok well I'm sorry for the wait to whoever is still reading my story. I had friends who wanted to hang, my girlfriend's birthday was January 10th, and I have school. I'm pretty much saying I didn't have much free time to write. O yea Naruto sings in this chapter, the song is sung by Michael Bolton. He's not my favorite but I like this song.
Chapter 3
Naruto brought an unconscious Sasuke back. He was wondering why he was knocked out when his fight with Rien was so damn easy. It didn't look like that Sasuke was suffering from any blood damage, and he could usually take hits to the face pretty well. He then realized that after Rien was hit by the rasengan, and lost about half of his stomach, he still been able to escape so easily. That bastard he let me hit him!"What you didn't realize that?" said the Kyuubi rolling and laughing all too hard.Damn it I don't need to hear that from some stuck up fuzz ball like you. "Well no matter I'm sure the next time we them you'll be ready, and besides you didn't even have to use my help. Ok well whatever at least I can go back to where Hinata is.
Naruto found Hinata and the rest of the village at the southern end of the island. Hinata was glad to see that Naruto was ok. Since she had been with Naruto she had gotten a lot more courage, and worried less about Naruto when he got into fights. She did get teary-eyed from time to time if he got badly injured, but that was barely ever since he had become a jounin. He went over and set Sasuke down, he had Hinata look at him to see if anything was wrong. She had a look at him but it looked like he was just fine. He then abruptly woke up.
"Huh what's going on?" Sasuke said while still a bit dazed from that hit. "You got your ass whipped Teme that's what went on." Naruto said and gave him a sly smirk. "Shut it Dobe! I didn't even feel the hit, I just went blank for some time," said Sasuke rather frustrated and confused. "That's weird, but o well we won't see him for a while anyway," Naruto tried to forget what he just said and focused on what was happening next.
Hinata never got a chance to say a word since she didn't really talk yet, she stopped blushing, fainting, and backing up when people got close, but she still could barely talk to people.
Flashback
Hinata and Naruto were on a date throughout the town. They were going to have a picnic on top of the Hokage monument. As they walked through town people were looking at her and Naruto. Hinata couldn't help but blush, and cling to Naruto's arm, which evidently made her blush even more.
"What's wrong Hinata?" Naruto was very worried about Hinata"O its nothing really, it's just I've never been on a date before and I'm very shy about things like this." Hinata didn't have to tell him that, but she wanted him to know her better. "O well here I'll help you out once we get to the Monument," Naruto gave her a reassuring smile, and he reached out his hand to grab hers.
As they got to the monument they just stared out to the village, it had look so serene from this spot. "Ok here is what you can do for yourself Hinata, try to scream something as loud as you can. It doesn't matter what you say. What I usually say is that I'll become hokage one day, but it's going to be different for you." Naruto said and gave her a nod as to start. Hinata twiddled her fingers thinking of what to say, and how people would think after they heard here scream something like that. She finally thought of the right thing to say though.
Flashback End
All three had turned around and looked at the girl when she had suddenly screamed," Oh my god you guys are so freaking bad ass!" She looked at them like a crazed fan girl. "It was nothing, but do you know of anyone that can do the stuff we just did?" Naruto asked because he wanted to know if there might be anyone who could help them get home. "Yea in the nations of Zen, Tower, and Maou use those types of techniques. Although the Tower nation has resorted to using technology, and finds that all other nations that still used old fashion magic like that were obsolete," replied the girl who acted very intelligent."Ok let's set out so we don't start any trouble," said Naruto as they started to walk away. "What do you mean the only reason they attack because we're at war with the Tower nation," trying to halt the three new heroes. "Well it seemed they had a leader and they attacked knowing I would be here," he said trying to reason with the girl. "O well if you're going, I'll come along with you then!" she said with a giant smile on her face. "I dunno" Sasuke gave her a discerned look on his face"Awww it'll be fun so just let her come." Naruto trying to convince Sasuke. "By the way, we forgot to ask your name?" Sasuke was also curious and embarrassed for not asking earlier.""O well my name is Mika, just Mika I didn't have parents so I just never gave myself a last name.""O well me and him didn't have them either its nice to meet you Mika" all three of them gave her a warm smile.
They decided to let her go after Naruto gave Sasuke a puppy dog look, which Sasuke always gave into. She waved her goodbye to the village and they left for the port. They had gotten on to a moderate sized cargo ship. Since they didn't have money they said that they would help them if they had given them a ride to the Maou nation. Hinata was mopping the poop deck; Sasuke was helping loading the ship, Mika helped check the cargo, and Naruto was busy putting up the mast.
As Naruto was putting up the mass with his clones he began humming. Then finally in low toned words then to his usually loud voice he started to sing.
I have often dreamed, of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome, would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be
I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, if I can be strong
I know every mile, will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong
Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years, would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through
And I won't look back, I will go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart
Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world. I will face its harms
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
I will search the world; I will face its harm
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
As Naruto finished singing he noticed that the Uchiha and Hinata had one hand on each of his shoulder.
"Nice song Dobe, it really fits you. With all that you went through and did for the village I'm sure you'll get your wish come true" said he gave a smirk and just stood leaning against a post. "You're wrong that my wish has already come true and I couldn't have asked for more," said Naruto leaving both of them dumbfounded. "What do you mean?" Hinata asked him in such a straight and curious face. He wondered who the dumb one was when it came to love. "It's the fact that I have my friends who accept me. It would be wonderful if everyone accepted me, but this is enough for me. Anyway my real wish is right here." He looked into her pearl white, beautiful eyes and couldn't help what he would do next.
He grabbed Hinata and pulled her close and gave Hinata a kiss on the lips. She blushed somewhat red when she noticed the other crew members were also watching. Naruto didn't care though he loved Hinata with all his heart and he wanted the whole world to know. Sasuke also smiled at them, if anyone belonged with Naruto it was her and her alone. He thought about his own life, and what it was like when he had come back.
A/N: I think I left off at a good place. Btw I don't care for reviews anymore, but if you get annoyed by something in my story tell me. I cant promise that I'll change it, but its worth a try.
