Say what now? A.k.a. the proposal
Naruto woke early on Saturday; it was the day of the talent show. And he had to get the ring. Oh it was a beautiful ring! A solid white gold band with a blue gemstone, surrounded by small diamonds. Kiba had helped him pick it out. It was his job as best man. And they had one final practice before the show; they wanted it to be perfect.
He was nervous, but who wouldn't be? It was the biggest day of his life. He was so silent getting up and leaving, no one even noticed he was gone until they woke three hours later.
Naruto met up with Kiba, Rundanie and Kakashi at breakfast. "Come on Naruto! Let's see it!" Kakashi bugged Naruto until he showed them. "Wow, it's absolutely beautiful!" Kakashi gushed. "What that for?" Rundanie asked. Naruto smiled and ruffled his hair. "It's a surprise" was all Naruto was going to say to the six-year-old. The breakfast was good, but to Naruto it tasted like sawdust. And he didn't know why. So he gulped down three large glasses of water. "You okay Naruto?" Kiba asked sitting next to the blond. "I don't know what's wrong with me, Kiba." Kiba nodded, "you're totally freaked out aren't you?" Naruto gazed sideways at Kiba. "No, I'm perfectly standing in front of hundreds of people, watching my every move as I get down on one knee." Naruto said sarcastically. "Hey, don't even think about it, just watch her. You won't even notice the crowed." Kakashi smiled the mask barely moving. Naruto gulped.
Later… 10 minutes before they go on.
Naruto paced back and forth, his hair was slicked back, and he had a red spiked jacket on, no shirt on under it, and tight black jeans. He bit at his nails as he repeated his steps. "Well aren't you a sight for sore eyes!" Naruto stopped. He knew that voice… he hadn't heard that voice in a long time. "How's my best friend doin?" Naruto turned to see Sasuke standing no more than two feet away from him. "Oh my God Sasuke!" the blond was pulled into a hug. "Long time no see!" Sasuke smiled. Sasuke had been living in the land of water, training with Zabuza and Haku. Word had gotten out to him by hawk, and he left as soon as he could. Zabuza walked in with Haku hot on his heels. "Sup big guy?" Naruto laughed looking up slightly at Zabuza. "Fine, just wanted to watch you perform!"
He smiled. Naruto smile beat his though by a long shot.
"Naruto Uzumaki, and his crew!" the voice of Tsunade caught Naruto's attention. "I got to go! See you after!" Naruto ran out, and the crowed went wild. "ok, ready?" he asked back, all yes's. And he began.
' This time, this place, misused, mistakes.
Too long, too late, who was I to make you wait?
Just one chance, just one breath, just in case
There's just one left, cause you know, you know, you know!
I love you! I loved you all along, and I miss you! Too far away for far too long!
I keep dreamin that you'll be with me and you'll never go, stop breathin, if I don't see you anymore!'
Naruto forgot about the crowed, and he focused on the love of his life, in the front row.
'On my knees I'll ask, last chance for one last dance. Cause with you I'll with stand, all of heaven, I'll hold your hand. I'll give it all it'd be for us, I'd give it all but I won't give up!
Cause you know, you know, you know!
I love you! I've loved you all along, and I miss you! Too far away for far too long! I keep dreamin that you'll be with me and you'll never go! Stop breathin! If I don't see you anymore!
Too far away! Too far away for far too long!
Too far away! Too far away for far too long!
But you know, you know, you know!
I want it! I wanted you to stay, cause I need it! I need to hear you say,
That I love you! I loved you all along. And I forgive you, for being far
Away for far too long! So keep breathin! Cause I'm not leavin you anymore.
Believe it, hold on to me never let me go! Keep breathin! Cause I'm not leavin you anymore! Believe it! Hold on to me never let me go!
Hold on to me never let me go!
Hold on to me never let me go!'
As he finished the crowed went wild again! Naruto smiled and bowed then faced his friends and laughed. They all ran off the stage, congratulating themselves.
Hinata wrapped around Naruto. Tears falling off her face. "You're up Hina." Naruto wiped her tears. "Go knock'em dead." She nodded and walked onto the stage.
Naruto let out a sigh. Not a sad sigh but an I'm going to make her the happiest girl in the world, sigh. "Naruto!" Sasuke slugged his arm. "You did great!" Sasuke smiled. "Thanks Sasuke!" Naruto looked out at Hinata as she started to sing.
' Da da dada da dada da,
Da dada da dadada da da dadada da da.
I'm tuggin at my hair I'm pullin at my clothes, I'm trying to keep my cool I know it shows. I'm starin at my feet. My cheeks are turnin red, I'm searchin for the words inside my head. But I'm feeling nervous, trying to be so perfect, but I know you're worth it you're worth it yeah.
If I could say what I want to say, I say I want to blow you away! Be with you every night, I'm I squeezing you too tight? If I could say what I want to see, I wanna see you go down on one knee, marry me today, yes I'm wishin my life away.
But these things I'll never say!'
Naruto began to sweat. Kakashi placed a hand on his shoulder. " Just in another minute. Nervous?" Naruto nodded fiercely. "Good, that means you're ready… now go!" Kakashi gave a little push. And Naruto was off just as Hinata spoke.
" If I could say what I want to see, I wanna see you go down, on one knee, marry me today." Naruto ran and slid on one knee, just as Hinata turned. She paused. The music continued. Naruto opened the box. She gasped. The whole crowed awed. "Hinata Hyuuga. Will you marry me?"
Dun dun Dunnnnn!
What will she say?
Stay tuned to find out!
