If you haven't read the latest manga,
and aren't a fan of spoilers, then maybe this isn't for you.
Oh, and I forgot to say that I've made a playlist containing all the songs used in this fic.
There's a link on my profile if anyone would like to listen while they read a long. :D
Anywho, I hope all the Naruhina fans out there, like this one!

The Songs That Define Us
Song: Good Enough
Artist: Evanescence

It was hot outside, just like every other day in the Konoha village. Everyone was working to help rebuild what had been broken, which in all seriousness, was everything. The village was in ruins, all thanks to Pein. Of course Hinata was upset that the village was destroyed, but she couldn't help but feel thankful to the Akatski member. If it wasn't for him, she would have never been able to tell Naruto her true feelings. So far she hadn't seen him after that moment, all she had heard, was that he was going to be fine.
Under your spell again.
I can't say no to my heart and it's bleeding in your hand.
I can't say no to you.
She couldn't help but be somewhat hopeful, that things were all going to change. That as soon as they saw each other, Naruto would sweep her up in his strong arms they would engage in a passionate first kiss, and then they could be together. Just like she had wished, all those years before. Maybe now, he would be able to return her feelings she had harbored for as long as she could remember.
Shouldn't let you torture me so I can't let go of this dream.
I can't breathe but I feel...
The butterflies in her stomach wouldn't leave her be. She wandered aimlessly around the village, not exactly looking for something, but wondering where that something was. She watched as all of her fellow ninja worked to repair their home. Hinata hadn't been given a job, only been told that she should recover. She felt that she was recovered enough, she wanted to do something. She wanted to be of some sort of use.
Good enough,
I feel good enough for you.
She brought her head up from the ground, only to see the person she had been thinking about, Naruto. He was helping a few chuunin move wood from the ground. He had been hurt in the fight as well, but he was already helping. Hinata couldn't help but feel so helpless. There he was standing right there in front of her, but she didn't even have the courage to walk another step forward.
Drink up sweet decadence.
I can't say no to you,
And I've completely lost myself,
and I don't mind.
I can't say no to you.
She wondered to herself, if she was really worthy of someone like Naruto; someone so selfless, so brave?
Shouldn't let you conquer me completly
I can't let go of this dream
Can't believe that I feel...
Maybe he hadn't seen her yet, maybe she could disappear in the shadows like she had been so used to over the years. She just wasn't ready for what was to come.
"Hey, Hinata!" It was too late now, she might as well get it over with.
"N-Na-ruto." She said in reply.
He reached up and scratched the back of his head, then smiled sheepishly at her. "How are you?"
Good enough,
I feel good 's been such a long time coming,
but I feel good.
She wanted to tell him the truth. She wished she could confess that she wouldn't be fine until all of their emotions were laid out and they were together at last. But she couldn't bear to see him upset, to see him sad, because of her. It just wasn't worth it. If It meant, being quiet a little longer, she could handle it, no… she would have to.
And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall.
Pour real life down on me.
'Cause I can't hold on to anything this good I good enough.
Am I good enough for you to love me too?
"I'm ok Naruto." She said, finally.
"Oh, ok, well I guess I'll see you later Hinata." He said as he waved and slowly began to walk off.
She stared as he became farther and farther away, just like the chances of ever seeing her one dream come true. Had she made the wrong decision? Should she have been truthful? Now, she might never know, if she'll ever be good enough to tell him. She could only hope that one day, she would be.
So take care what you ask of me,
'cause I can't say no.
She also would never know, that he was thinking the exact same thing.
I know the song didn't fit perfectly,
but I thought it as something that Hinata could work up to. :)
I hope everyone liked it!
