Chapter 6

Lies and a Kiss

Slowly opening my eyes I looked around to see my ninja gear folded and clean. Looking down I only had my dark orange pants on. My ribs were wrapped tightly slowly sitting up I cringed as felt my ribs. They seemed to be okay at least enough to fight if Zabuza comes back. Hinata! Scrambling up I lean against the wall as I open the door and see I'm in a hallway. Closing my eyes look for her chakra presence, a small but faint one is two rooms down. Slowly making my way I heard a scream and turn to see Sakura and Ino shocked on the floor what seems to be the meal me and Hinata were suppose to eat. Ignoring them I turn to make my way to Hinata's room. Stopping in front of the door took a deep breath, all I was hoping is that she is alright. Opening the door the first thing that my eyes traveled to was Hinata. Sitting down beside her waited not listening to voices behind me closed my eyes.

Ow, Ow, OW!! My eyes snapped awake turning my head saw Naruto sleeping beside me. "Naruto?" She watched Naruto's eyes snap awake. He blinked a couple of times before smiling, "You're alright!" Naruto hugged her tightly causing her to cringe, "Naruto I'm still injured." Hinata giggled as she watched Naruto jump back like he touched fire. "Sorry Hinata." Shrugging her shoulders she got up. Her knees felt like they were going to collapse any moment. Suddenly she felt Naruto take her hand,put her arm over him and let her lean on him. Making their way down the hallway Naruto sighed, " I knew you would wake up. Because today's my birthday and you never sleep in on my birthday." Hinata giggled, " Yeah, you just want to know your gift." Soon they made their way to the living room and heard some gasps."It's only been 1 day and you both are up?" Hinata looked to see TenTen eyes wide.

"Come on! You guys think way too little of us!" Groaning Hinata ignored Naruto's yells, "Seriously Naruto your voice can match Lee and Gai!" Looking up to see Lee and Gai grinning Hinata groaned once again, "No, I'm a normal and I will never screaming on top of my lungs to my sensi maybe, when he is late." She turned to Naruto, "Yes Naruto I know he's late all the time." Hinata turned to Maya, "Can you grab my bag for me?" She watched as Maya looked at her oddly, "Sorry Maya I really can't move right now." She watched the girl smile and get up. "Sasuke? What happened after we got knocked out?" Sasuke sighed, "Sakura was probably the only reason you're alive. Naruto had his internal bleeding stopped by you but you were still bleeding. Sakura put some much chakra into your healing I carried her back here." Hinata looked at Sakura who was smiling, "I was out only for a bit and now I'm fine." Hinata looked at Neji, "So you seem somewhat glad I'm alright I didn't think you cared about me." She watched Neji look away.

"Everyone was worried about you and Naruto." Looking at Ino who looked close to tears, "You two seemed so sure of yourself that when you got up and fought we thought the battle was over." Hinata smiled, "What I said was true all of it. The only reason I fought was because Naruto always was the person who told me I could do better. I also promised him something." Hinata looked at Naruto who eyes filled with sadness, "I told you I never go back on my word." She watched Naruto grin, sighing she knew his mask was back in place also happy never sad. Looking up to see Maya handing her bag grabbing it she thanked Maya. Opening it the first thing she saw was her sword putting it beside her buried her hand in till her hand grasped a box. Pulling it out she saw it was infact the gift.

Tossing it to Naruto she smiled, "Happy Birthday Naruto." She watched Naruto look at it and held it. "Thanks for not forgetting." Hinata shrugged and watched everyone lean closer, "Hey Naruto why don't you open it later?" She watched Naruto look at everyone esle and grin, "That would be smart wouldn't it?"Hinata saw Shikamaru looking at Naruto, "Hey Naruto isn't today the day where the nine-tails was killed by 4th Hokage?" Hinata watched Naruto grin fade Hinata knew what he was thinking about.

-FLASHBACK-

"Are you telling me the 4th Hokage is my Dad?" Hinata watched Naruto look at Tsunade with anger and sadness. She had come because Tsunade thought if Naruto's anger got out of control she could calm him down. "So he died putting this stupid demon in me?" Hinata felt tears travel down her face, "So all my life I lived like an outcast because of my dad?" Hinata watched Tsunade sigh, "Naruto, I wish the assholes will one day respect you." Hinata felt anger boil over her, "No, Everyday even now the Naruto is ANBU Capitan and he is still treated like an demon!" She didn't care that Tsunade was red in the face, "I sick of seeing the person I love laughing instead of crying and always infront of everyone put's his mask on!" Hinata heard Naruto trying to calm her, "The least this village could do for him is at least give him some amount of respect and that he dosen't have to be Hokage to have it the respect he's been deprived of all his life!" Suddenly she felt arms grab around her waist, "Thank you." Those two words from her crush was enough, to make her stop. Feeling the tears on her back from her crush reminded her of the day Sakura left. "I'll always be there Naruto."

-END OF FLASHBACK-

"Um, Yeah it's the same day." Hinata looked Naruto and saw him look as sad as the time he was told the news that his father was the same person who had sealed the 9-tails into him. "Didn't you say something about your father being the 4th?" Hinata looked to Shikamaru with both eyes open but full of curiosity. "Yeah I found out when I was going to some old house." Hinata watched everyone lean closer, "I was fooling around and in the front of the house it said the 4th Hokage's name. I got in and saw that there was a journal in his room. Opening it to the last page he said it would be his last entry and that he was going to save the village and put the 9-tails in his son." Hinata looked at him and glad Naruto could act really well. "I didn't tell anyone that I knew of the 9-tails or my who my Father's was." Looking straight at their sensi he smiled, "You were his student right? You, Rin and Obito it said that you were always on time until." Hinata cringed at thought of Naruto not finishing, "So what happened to the journal?"

Naruto looked at Kakashi his eyes hopeful, "If you are wondering if it still in one piece it's not. I burned it after reading it." Shrugging his shoulders got up, "Naruto telling someone's past without letting the person explain is rude." Naruto turned to see Hinata get up, "You should know that well, Naruto." Walking past him her long hair brush his face as she went back to her room. "Sorry Kakashi-sensi but explaining right now might not be the best time." Turning to Tanzu, "Sorry about not protecting you well enough, Hinata did what she thought was right." He watched the old man smile, "It's alright the wolf left after everyone esle was out of their water chambers." Naruto grabbed Hinata stuff and nodded to everyone else and made his way to Hinata's room.

Knocking on it, knowing full well what Hinata was going to do. "Hinata you should train right now." Opening the door Naruto saw Hinata strapping on her sword. "Hinata you're still hurt you should rest." Dropping Hinata's bag saw Hinata toss him his gift. "Open it." Naruto looked as the Hinata stood there her arms crossed. Slowly opening the box he saw a golden necklace the symbol was a fox. In the back it said, I never go back on my word because that is my ninja way. Naruto looked at Hinata who had in her hand the same necklace but silver. "I think I'm not the only one who needs to be reminded of my nindo." Naruto smiled, "Thanks Hinata." Naruto watched Hinata step closer her eyes scanning his face, "I don't get it Naruto. Why is it always like this? Why can't we tell them?" Naruto watched Hinata who seemed close to tears, "You lied to Kakashi he told us his past not from some made up journal!"

Naruto cringed as her voice got higher, "I thought that we agreed we wouldn't let any information slip but this will be reported to the Hokage and what are we going to say to him?" Naruto watched Hinata unbraid her hair and twirled it between her fingers. "Seriously Naruto. Think before you do anything." Naruto smiled, "Sorry Hinata I will I promise."

Hinata watched Naruto step closer leaning her head up let Naruto's lip touch hers. Hooking her arms over his shoulders held onto the kiss. Oh, how long has it been since they kissed. Ever since the mission started they had only cared about that. Pulling back let her lungs breath air, "Naruto thank you that's just what I needed."Taking off her gloves and shoes sat down beside Naruto against the wall. Letting her head rest on Naruto closed her eyes.


AN: I have to say this is a bad chapter and the kiss was okay but it's something I wanted to write but can't really explain well. Anyway please read my past which is based on Sakura and has been on my computer for awhile and I decided it would be good if I put it on. I promise I'll still write just added another story to the list.

Well I'll try and get the next chapter soon.
