Disclamer: I do not own Naruto. Tear, tear.
SKIP TO WHERE THEY ARE ALL IN AME:
Hinata looked around, her eyes darting here and there. Shikumaru grabbed her arm, pulling her out of the way of a building. She giggled nervously and Shikumaru smirked, before both of them turned to look around again. Spotting a head full of spiky blond locks, they headed after the target. Within a few moments, Hinata sighed and shook her head, heading back the other way. Shikumaru followed her. Hinata's communication device cackled.
"Hey, we found something. Come to the North edge of the market."
"Copy that."
Shikumaru and Hinata began to walk faster, dodging things here and there. Finally, they reached the North edge. Hinata spotted Sakura and Neji first, and pulled Shikumaru over to them.
"What'd you find?"
Neji turned to them, a smile on his face. He nodded toward Sakura, who was talking to a little old lady, who had black hair and gorgeous emerald eyes. Sakura then turned to, her eyes shimmering with happiness.
"This is my great-aunt Lucy. Naruto's at her house!"
Hinata stood silently. Her mind twirled the possibility of her love being alive and within walking distance of her. Sure, she had gone along with the plan, even had hope, but to actually have it happening? Actually finding him? She broke out of her thoughts when Neji gave her a hug, leaning close to whisper in her ear.
"We found him Hinata…he's coming home."
She let loose a relived sigh, hugging her beloved cousin back. Sakura reached back, grabbing Hinata's hand in hers. She pulled her forward, making sure that they remained together through the crowds in the market. Hinata tucked her arm into her friends elbow. They stayed close to each other, occasionally looking at each other and grinning in anticipation. They soon exited the crowd of people and then walked out of the market area all together.
Hinata looked around, memorizing the path and their location. She knew her teammates would be doing the same thing, but it didn't matter. Finally, the group stopped at a little grey house. Making their way through the white picket fence and up the stone pathway, Lucy led them to the front step. Taking out a key, she held it up to Sakura, looking her in the eye.
"I'm trusting you niece. Put it in the cat's necklace when you're on your way out."
Sakura nodded and Lucy placed the key in her palm. With a single wave, she made her way back down the steps and disappeared around the corner, seemingly on her way back to the market. Sakura, still clutching the key, turned her attention back to the door. Slowly she placed the key in the keyhole and twisted. The door swung open. Shikumaru sighed and stepped around Sakura and Hinata, who had both frozen. He disappeared inside. In a few seconds he reappeared at the door.
"It's clear downstairs. Come on in."
He turned and walked back inside. Everyone followed, Hinata coming in last. She shut the door, but remained in the main room. She could hear her friends making their way up the stairs. Taking a deep breath, she stepped into the living room. Suddenly, a soft thump, followed by a crash, echoed through the house. Hinata tensed, and then launched herself up the stairs. She came to the first door, which was slightly cracked open. Making her way into the room, she breathed a sigh of relief. Sakura was fussing over a large tabby cat and Neji was picking up pieces of a broken lamp. Shikumaru sat on the bed, mumbling about troublesome cats. She made her way out of the room, looking around the hallway.
She made her way to the door across the hall and opened the door. After scanning the room, she deemed it empty and made her way to the last door in the hall. She opened it, sighing as her search reviled nothing. Her pale eyes darted around curiously, and with a slight mumble she activated her Byakugan. Her lither body tensed and she darted out of the room. Sakura, whose head was peeked out of the other door, quickly followed her sister-in-law down the stairs. In the living room, Sakura grabbed Shikumaru and Neji. Finally, Hinata came to a stop. Underneath the stairs was a door. She reached out to it, grasping the door handle tightly. Taking a deep breath, she pulled it open. Neji, Sakura, and Shikumaru stumbled back as a strong chakra wave swept through the room.
Hinata didn't move an inch, instead staring at the man she thought dead for two years. She vaguely heard a shout in her haze, but ignored it. Suddenly, a sharp pain pierced her side. She mumbled, reaching down to pull out the kunai. Looking up, she glared at Sakura, who shrugged apologetically.
"You need to wake him up Hinata! We can't get any closer; you're the only one that can do it."
Sakura spoke softly, but Hinata heard her still. The chakra waves coming off the blond where strong, though they seemed to roll right over and around her. Breathing deeply, she stepped forward. The chakra seemed to part as she walked, going around her as though she was surrounded by an invisible bubble. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, she reached the blond. She reached into her back pocket and withdrew the scroll, opening it. After biting her thumb to draw some blood, she smeared it onto the release jutsu in the scroll. A loud buzzing filled her ears. Without a second thought, she flung herself in the direction of the loudest buzzing.
Slowly the buzzing disappeared and Hinata could feel the chakra surrounding her begin to trickle into nothingness. She tightened her arms around whatever she had a hold of and was rewarded with a soft 'oof'. Her eyes snapped open, widening. With her arms still wrapped around the strong, warm board, she looked up. Her silver eyes began to shimmer as unshed tears reached her eyes. Blue eyes, the color of the ocean, held hers steadily.
"Naruto…"
His foxy grin appeared. With a slight wink, he stood up, pulling Hinata with him. Spinning her around in a circle, he laughed joyfully. He set her down, looking into her eyes lovingly.
"I knew you would come for me Hinata-koi."
With that he leaned down and kissed her.
