Epilogue

Oh crap. Oh crap. I'M LLLAAATTTTTEEEEEEE.

Hinata Hyuuga ran along the streets, threading her way through the busy throng of people. She swiftly checked her watch. 5 minutes left…I'll never make it on time…Hinata sighed as she re-adjusted her bag and picked up her pace a bit. It had been two and a half years since HE had left…Hinata had safely graduated from high school and was now studying to become a doctor at university…much to the delight of her father.

As she hurried past a music shop her eyes involuntarily flickered to the window. And once again her heart did the weird flip thing whenever she saw HIM on it. Her pace slowed and she somehow found herself standing right in front of the window, staring at the poster that was promoting their newest album.

Her pale, lavender eyes scanned the poster and finally her eyes rested on HIM. He still looked the same as ever…messy, wild blonde hair, the foxy grin and those pair of cerulean blue eyes…though he did seemed to have filled out a lot more and was much taller. A small smile flickered across her face as she wondered how much taller he was than her now and she felt the all too familiar longing and sadness sink in.

The Black Moon had made it big time and was now one of the most popular boy group bands in Japan and quite popular even in America. Hinata had without thought, bought all their albums that they had released so far. Even though her heart ached every time she heard Naruto's voice. Sure they phoned each other and sent emails…but…Hinata wanted to see him in person again. To breathe in his familiar scent…

Hinata frowned and shook her head to clear away her thoughts. But for some reason he hadn't phoned her for at least a week now and no emails either….maybe…he had moved on. She smiled ruefully and ducked her head…why wouldn't he…I mean, the Black Moon were so popular with the girls. He probably found someone who was better than her. Hinata felt her heart crash to the floor. She still had his letter and she was still waiting for him to keep his promise.

She had waited for him for two and a half years now. Maybe he really didn't mean it when he said he loved her. Maybe all those countless times he said it over the phone or on email…maybe…AAARARRGGGGHHH…WHAT ARE YOU THINKING GIRL???!! Hinata berated herself mentally for even having those thoughts…Naruto would never do something like that. Adverting her gaze from the poster she glanced at her watch again.

Her eyes widened. SHIT!!! 2 MORE MINUTES LEFT!!!!???? She spun around and started running as fast as she could. Oh my god. Orochimaru sensei was going to murder her. She turned around the corner to a rather deserted street and suddenly…BAM.

Ahhh! Hinata braced herself for the hard impact of crashing onto the floor but instead she felt herself land into a pair of strong arms.

"Why is it we always seem to meet each other this way?" asked an amused and VERY familiar voice.

Hinata felt her heartbeat stop and she slowly opened her eyes and found herself staring into two deep orbs. Her eyes widened and a very familiar blush started to spread across her face. She bit back a scream and she quickly jumped up. She stared at his face. No it couldn't be true. She was dreaming right? She rubbed her eyes and she looked again. Yeah, it was still the same person. It was him. And he was grinning that all too familiar grin at her. His wild blonde hair ruffling in the wind, his blue eyes twinkling with laughter.

Suddenly she felt like crying. Was this all just a cruel prank on her?? It all seemed to good to be true. She felt herself take a step backwards but her legs felt like jelly and they gave way under her. She once again expected the hard impact of the ground but she found herself in his comforting arms again. And this time he held onto her tighter. Refusing to let go.

"Are you alright Hinata-chan?" he asked in a worried voice. She stared at him again and she tried to work her voice… "N-naruto-kun??!" He grinned at her. "Hai Hinata-chan…I'm back." And then he gave her the genuine smile that Hinata loved so much. It was all too much for Hinata and she couldn't hold back the tears any longer. He really was back. He had kept his promise.

The tears started flowing down her cheeks. Naruto looked up, startled. "Hina-chan??" She buried her face into his shoulder and smelled his familiar scent. Rain, wet earth and ramen… "Welcome back…Naruto-kun". She said in a muffled voice. She felt a warm hand cup her face, tilting her head up so that she was looking at him. He brushed away her tears and Hinata felt herself melt underneath his touch. She also noticed the crowds of people that were gathering around them. Tonnes of fan girls were screaming out to him and yelling death threats at Hinata except they were being held back by what looked like Naruto's bodyguards.

Suddenly Hinata felt very nervous. "Naruto-kun…are you sure…" But she was cut off when Naruto placed a finger onto her lips. She blushed and became conscious of the fact that he was still holding onto her. "I promised you didn't I? That I'd come back." Hinata felt shocked. It was like a whole brick wall of emotions crashing onto her. It was like she finally realised that…he did love her. It was a daydream that she thought would never come true.

The tears threatened to fall again. Naruto grinned and placed his forehead onto hers. Hinata felt her blush intensify. Naruto chuckled, "You read the whole note right?" She gave a slight nod. Naruto's grin widened. "So…you know that I love you right, Hina-chan?" Hinata gave him a small smile, nodded and ducked her head. She felt herself burst with joy.

He loved her. He loved her. He really did love her. This time she looked at him straight in the eye and without blushing said softly, "I love you too Naruto-kun" and gave him one of her rare genuine smile. One that wasn't contaminated with self-doubt. Naruto's face softened and he leant in closer. Hinata felt her heartbeat escalate and she became oblivious to the wild howls and cries that the crowds were giving. And before she could send a warning sign to her brain she felt his lips on hers. She didn't hold back her tears this time; it was alright to cry because you were happy right? She slipped her arms around him and kissed him back, ignoring all the screams that the fan girls were making.

Who said that dreams couldn't come true? After all, life can be so unpredictable.
