Title: Uta No Kokoro
Title Translation: Song of Heart
Summary: When you were born without any parents, you can be selfish right? When you were born without any love, you aren't expected to cry right? And when you've never met someone to love, you can forget about others right? Wrong. Nobody ever believed in it, all except two. And when these two meet their complete opposites, will their point of views on life change?
Full and BETTER Summary: Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke were the two most popular singers of Japan. They've been performing on bunches of the largest stages in Japan and holding some of the most successful and wonderful concerts in Japan. They were selfish, never cried before, and they never met anybody to call their soulmate. All their life they've suffered, they never knew a thing called love. And their fans' obsess with them isn't worth to call love. Sasuke grew up knowing the fact that his parents and family were murdered because of his brother. Naruto grew up with everyone in his hometown despising him, hating him, because he was blamed for the death of the nicest family in their hometown, his own family. Hyuuga Hinata and Haruno Sakura were the two most popular singers in their small village. They've been performing on the streets and in small orphanages and hospitals all their life. They were kind at heart, cried bunches of times before, and they met people that have broken their hearts. All their life they've suffered, they never knew a thing called family. And the villagers weren't a real family, and neither were fanboys and some girl admirers. Sakura grew up alone with no one but her brother, being abandoned by their family at a young age because they didn't have enough money to support themselves and having two kids didn't help at all. Hinata grew up alone, being disowned by her family when she was 5 because her family were honorable people but to them, she was just trash and wasn't good enough to be a 'Hyuuga.' When you compare these two boys to these two girls, you might ask: 'How do they walk the same yet slightly different path, and be so different?' The answer? Simple. "Sometimes, a little can mean a lot." And when these boys cross paths with these girls, everything changed for them. Love. Warmth. Family. It was all there. Yet we all know happiness cannot last for a lifetime. And even if a promise if happiness was made, everyone knows promises were made to be broken.

Uta No Kokoro
The Tenth Stage
Total Romance Chaos
Tsunade sighed as she pulled over. She arrived at a small house. She looked over her shoulders at the cowering people who were probably peeing their pants by now. She did a peace sign and grinned. "See how easy that was?! And you guys didn't trust me! Pfft!" everyone gulped and only nodded. "Well what are you waiting? Get out of my car!"
Everybody immediately got out. Tsunade flicked the little thingy that opens the trunk. She got off as well and went over to them to get her suitcase. She grabbed it and smiled as she raised a fist in the air. "Yoshi! We are the Orochi-snake Rebellion! Hear us ROAR!" she roared when she said the last part.
Everyone around them looked at her in fear. Tsunade cackled and proceeded forward. Shizune looked around in confusion. "Tsunade-shishou, where are we?" Jiraiya and Kakashi looked around to notice they had no idea where they were right now either. Anko just hmphed, mad that Tsunade took her place driving.
Well to summarize it up, Kakashi thought both women were insane. One drove too slow… or not so slow, but too tense while the other was too excited. He wondered what would have happened if Shizune took the wheel. He shivered trying not to imagine it. He looked around once again and nodded, "Yeah Tsunade-sama, where are we?"
Tsunade smirked, "We are at my friend, Ibiki's house! He's fostering a trio of siblings. People here are scared of them for a weird reason that I don't know about." Tsunade just shrugged as she walked over to the door. Everyone was silent as she pressed the button that made the doorbell sound. There was the –Ding dong!- noise. A few seconds later, they heard shuffling.
The door opened to show a girl with spikyish sandy blonde hair that was tied in four odd ponytails. Her piercing sea green eyes looked at them in annoyance. "What do you want? If it's another complain about Gaara or Kankurou then get lost!" she looked at the suitcases they were carrying and smirked, "What is that? Some kind of case filled with poisonous potions for my brothers?"
Tsunade looked at her and narrowed her eyes, it was young adults like her that she hated. "Look hair girly, where's Ibiki? I swear, he better have a good reason to foster little kids like you!" Tsunade glared at her. The girl glared back. Soon, the girl just broke the contest and called loudly up the stairs.
"Ibiki-sensei! Some crazy woman is here for you to pity her!" the girl smirked when Tsunade glared at her harder. Anko felt like ripping the disrespectful girl apart but she knew she couldn't get lowered from manager of ShaRaGan to a serial killer. Whoa… she is so prideful! Serial killer… haha…
A few minutes later of the loud chewing noises the girl was making with her gum and footsteps were heard. A man with piercing dark brown eyes and two scars across his face appeared. "Who is it Temari?" his question was answered when he saw Anko and Tsunade tapping their feet impatiently. He widened his eyes, "Tsunade-sama! Anko! Ah, and Kakashi, Jiraiya-sama, and good Shizune too eh? I see I'll be housing more people." he chuckled.
He gave a stern look at the girl known as Temari, "Temari do not be rude to them. This is the woman I was talking about. She saved my life and probably yours too." Temari only shrugged and ran upstairs again. Ibiki sighed, "Sorry about the rude kiddo. She doesn't know a lot of manners. Come on in. Genma is inside too." he gave them a smirk.
The two went inside and set their suitcases on the floor. He led them to the living room with a man who looked like he was 29 was sitting with a silver needle in his mouth. Ibiki looked at him, "Oi! Genma! Look who's here!" Genma almost fell off the chair in surprise and almost spitted out his needle but caught it in his hand.
He looked up and saw Shizune, Anko, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Kakashi. "Oh, hi." everyone sweat dropped at his lack of words. Genma sat back on the couch. Everyone took a seat. They began discussing why they were here. Minutes later after Tsunade's explanation, Ibiki sighed. "That man… he never knows when he crosses the line of evil."
Kakashi smirked behind his mask, "Perhaps you should use your superior interrogating skills on someone Ibiki… someone like… say Yakushi Kabuto? I heard he's like a dog under Orochimaru. And perhaps those kids that come around him every here and then. I know you know what to do with them." he was still reading his book all the while saying this.
Ibiki smirked, "Perhaps." Tsunade looked outside to catch the sun suddenly turn to a deep bloody red color and then suddenly turning back to its bright orangey-yellow color that humans see and not the red color. She narrowed her eyes.
This is the sign of a bad omen…
Orochimaru sighed as he smiled. "Just a bit more and the blossom will whither away and the raven will fly west with me... hehehe..."
"Sakura!" Sasuke widened his eyes in panic. He just lost his friggin girlfriend in the water! "Sakura!" he furrowed his eyebrows before taking a deep breath. With that he jumped into the water. He tried his best not to breathe and looked around.
He widened his eyes when he saw a shade of pink. He quickly swam over there. He wanted to call out her name but knew that would be stupid underwater. He reached her and saw her body slightly floating. He shook her body hard, no response. He was scared, he quickly took her into his arms and swam upwards.
He took a deep breath as he reached the surface. He breathed heavily as he ran over to the shore setting onto the towel. Momo and Akamaru barked as they looked at Sakura. Momo nuzzled her owner's neck. Sasuke shook her again. "Sakura!" he checked her breathing and her pulse and sighed in relief when he still felt it.
He bent down and crashed his lips onto hers as he did CPR. He brought his head back up and slammed them down again. He continued doing this a few times until he saw her coughing up salt water. He sighed in relief. Sakura slowly opened her jade orbs. She saw Sasuke and sat up, "S-Sasuke-kun, what happened?"
Sasuke almost cried and he quickly engulfed in a tight hug. "Sakura don't ever do that again! Baka! You should've told me you didn't know how to swim!" Sakura felt how his heartbeat was beating faster than usual. She giggled. He truly was scared. He was scared for her! She chuckled and looked up.
"Sasuke-kun, you know that I would never leave you! And besides, haha… you were scared!" she teased him. He only glared at her jokingly before he bent down and captured her lips in a real kiss. Sakura smiled through the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck while he wrapped his arms around her waist tighter.
They broke apart after about 5 minutes (A/N; Dang!) Sasuke panted with her, "Just… -pant-…. don't ever scare me like that again, ok? I don't know what I'd do if I lost you…?" Sakura widened her eyes and smiled. Who would've thought the great Uchiha Sasuke would show emotions like this and say such a corny line?
"Hai…"
Tenten looked at her boyfriend waiting for an answer. When she found him silent for about 5 minutes already, she felt tears engulf her vision. "You never cared! You don't love me! You only asked me out because you thought it was nice to show everyone that you had a girlfriend right? Right?! Well you're wrong!"
Tears were rolling down her cheeks now. She was about to stand up and run away but an arm prevented her from doing so. She looked down and she Neji with his face hung down. She widened her eyes, "N-Neji?" Neji suddenly looked up with an angry look in his eyes. Tenten widened her eyes, for the first time since she's been with him… she felt… she felt… she felt scared.
She quickly took his arm off her arm and smiled sadly at him. "Neji-kun… let's have a time out… ok?" and with that she walked off, leaving him behind. Neji didn't bring his head up until he heard an elderly voice. He looked up in surprise as he saw the man that was serving them food chuckling.
He smiled and looked at Neji, "When a woman demands you to answer a question like that, usual men will take longer than expected to answer them. That is your mistake. Women hate it when men can't answer right and usually just concludes that you don't love them. Sonny, you should do a smart thing and try to get her back. Oh and uh… your ramen and soba will be here the next day!"
Neji widened his eyes in surprise before he smirked. "Arigato ojii-san…" with that he got off from his chair and headed off the direction towards Tenten.
Neji walked to the shore where he found Tenten, Sakura, Sasuke, Momo, and Akamaru. They were at a different spot a bit farther away from where Ino and Shikamaru were. He saw that Sakura was slightly shaking. He raised an eyebrow. Sasuke saw his look and replied, "She almost drowned." Neji nodded before placing on his shirt. He gave one more glance at Tenten before turning his back.
"Uchiha, I need to go do something." Neji informed him. Sasuke nodded as Neji walked off. Sakura looked at Tenten and raised an eyebrow. Sasuke just stayed quiet and scratched Momo and Akamaru. Sakura dried her hair one last time before looking at Tenten. Tenten was gazing at the water deep in thought so it seemed.
Sakura giggled and that snapped Tenten out of her thoughts. Sasuke looked at his girlfriend before going back to petting the dogs. Sakura gave one look at Tenten and looked at the waves that came rolling by. "Yare, yare, one look at you and I know that something is up with you and Neji-san. Ne?"
Tenten looked at her in surprise but nodded glumly. Sakura smiled, "Tenten-chan… sometimes you have to remember that men are a different species from us women. They are not deep romantics and are usually interested in different things. Women have a brain set for romance and undying love. Men also want to have a family and a wife to come home to, but even so, romantic and corny things are their weak points. They usually can't answer serious relationship questions either!" Sakura pointed out as she raised a finger in the air.
Sasuke smirked inwardly. He was glad to have a girlfriend that understood their differences. Tenten didn't speak but she stood up and placed on her capris and tank top hurriedly. Sakura smiled at her, "Ne, tell us when there's a baby, ok?" she winked. Tenten blushed. Sakura laughed while Sasuke smirked. Akamaru and Momo barked.
Tenten pouted, "Sakura!" she looked mad until her pout softened out in a smile, "Arigato." Sakura smiled back at her. Tenten quickly raced off the shore to go find him. Sakura smiled at her retreating figure before leaning back onto the towel. She sighed blissfully and savored the warm sun and moaned happily.
Sasuke looked over at her. Sakura felt some weight on her. She raised an eyebrow and opened them to see Sasuke looking at her from above. He was straddling her. "And what do have here? How may I help you my handsome prince?" his reply was a deep yet gentle kiss. Sakura wrapped her arms around him.
The two continued their make-out session… well, let's not disturb them ne? ;)
Ino looked at Shikamaru, he was taking an awful lot of time thinking of a reply. She raised an eyebrow, a man with an IQ over 200 can't answer a question of a girl like me? She almost laughed if the situation wasn't so serious. She glared at him, "Nara Shikamaru! I want an answer!" Shikamaru gulped.
He searched inside his head. Well now that she mentioned it… he had no idea why he did kiss her. Crap. As if he would tell her that. He opened his mouth to speak, "Ino… I actually… really don't know…" he felt horror and guilt strike his heart when he saw her shocked face. He looked at her, again, "Ino I'm really sorry! I… I… I just…"
Ino shook her head, "You were annoyed by me right? Well don't worry about it Shikamaru. I won't annoy you anymore and nor will I love you. But I will always be your friend. I think I'm going to take a scroll through the beach ok?" Shikamaru could only nod dumbly as he watched her smile and wave slightly before turning her back on him.
Shikamaru slammed his head onto the sand. "Why am I so friggin stupid?! I just have to be so troublesome damn it!" he sighed as he looked at the water. I want to apologize to her so badly! I mean I thought I was falling for her! Is it because I hesitate so my words come out opposite of what I wanna say?! Damn it! I have to apologize to her so badly! Ok… calm down Shikamaru… mendokuse! Ino likes flowers. Flowers… flowers… flowers… flowers… flowers… flowers… ah! I got it!
Shikamaru shot up from the towel and placed on his shirt before running towards the direction of the entrance of the beach. Please forgive me after this Ino…
Ino sighed as she sat on the dry sand. Water slowly went to her feet and looked down. She brushed her hand through the water and sighed again. I thought he loved me. I can't believe I lost my first kiss to someone who doesn't even love me. I'm so stupid! I've been saving my first kiss for years and to lose it to some dude who doesn't love me! Stupid Ino!
She growled and stood up. She walked to where Sakura and Sasuke were. She saw Sakura was laying her head on Sasuke's shoulder. She smiled slightly. "They're so lucky…" she heard herself mutter. She saw Sakura and Sasuke look at her. She sweat dropped and smiled. "Hey Saku-chan! Sasuke! Oh, Sakura, did you read the newest fashion magazine?"
Sakura smiled at Ino, "Iie, I forgot to buy the magazine. Why?" Ino grinned brightly.
"Well there was picture of THE most amazing dress ever! It was…" Sakura let Ino continue her rambling. The pink haired girl studied the blonde's facial expressions. Sakura inwardly shook her head. Ino was forcing her expressions. Sakura suddenly held a hand up for Ino to stop talking. Ino looked at her, "What?"
Sakura smiled at her and Sasuke just listened to them quietly. "Ino-chan. Mind telling me what the real reason why you're here is? I thought you were with Shikamaru over at the other towel. Did he confess? Are you unsure? Shikamaru's a great guy Ino!" Ino shook her head sadly. Sakura smiled wider. "Go on ahead, I'll listen."
Ino couldn't handle it anymore. She sniffed and suddenly dropped her head onto Sakura's lap. "He doesn't love me! He kissed me yesterday and when I asked why he kissed me he said he was sorry! Sorry! For what!? He doesn't love me! I've been saving my first kiss for 19 years Sakura! 19!! And I lost it to someone who DOESN'T LOVE ME!"
Ino broke down and Sakura soothed her by running her hand gently through the girl's hair. "Ino, it'll be fine. Shikamaru has his reason. I'm sure it'll all come through." Ino sniffed and nodded. Sakura smiled. Sasuke looked at her before an idea thing popped into his head. He smirked. Sakura smiled again before looking at her boyfriend. "She's asleep."
Sasuke nodded. He suddenly stood up, Sakura looked at him in question. "I'm gonna go get us something to drink. Stay with her." she nodded before turning to Ino. Sasuke walked towards the entrance of the beach.
Sakura looked at his retreating figure before sighing. "Ino-chan… Tenten-chan… your boyfriends or crushes or whatever are stupid… but I guess really can't say that since Naruto's here and no one compares to him in the stupid meter…" she shook her head before looking at the water again. "I wonder what Hinata's doing…"
Hinata gulped nervously as she looked around, "N-Naruto-kun… w-we have to f-find the way b-back before it gets dark…" Naruto only nodded. Hinata remembered the others and looked at her watch, "N-Naruto-kun, the others are going to leave soon… what do we do?"
Naruto bit his lip nervously before grinning, "We're gonna find the way back!" Hinata sweat dropped before looking the other way. Naruto looked around and raised an eyebrow, "Hmmm…. normally people do that footstep tracing thingy majignie but we didn't leave any footsteps… I wonder why…"
Hinata widened her eyes, "No!! That was our only chance! Damn sand! Damn wind! Damn water! Damn it all!" Naruto looked at her with bulging eyes. Hinata blushed and looked away from him, "G-Gomen…" Naruto nodded. Somehow, he had a feeling that this wasn't going to be the nicest ride ever…
She never slows down
She doesn't know why but,
She knows that when
She's all alone, it feels
Like its all, coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long
And she fears if she cries
That first tear
The tears will not stop
Raining down
Tenten gasped as she continued to run around looking for him. "NEJI! NEJI!" where the hell was he?! She searched all over the beach! She looked around before going back to the food stand. She saw the man reading the newspaper. "Ojii-san, have you seen the man I was with? Long brown hair and pale eyes?"
The man blinked before crackling a chuckle, "I spoke to him minutes after you left but then he just thanked me and ran off to who knows where. Just go to the place you think he'll go at a moment like this. Men are more predictable than women." he winked at her before stuffing his face into the newspaper.
Tenten bit her lip in frustration as she continued running around, knowing Neji, he's probably thinking of a way to say sorry to me… but where will he be? Her eyes widened when she saw a figure all the on the other side of the beach. Neji! Her feet immediately ran to where he was. "NEJI-KUN!" she couldn't help it. It was her fault that this happened.
She finally arrived and suddenly, she teardrops trailing down her eyes. "N-Neji-kun…" there written on the sand in large letters was NEJI ♥ TENTEN. Tenten gasped. Tracing the words were candles. She gulped before looking at her boyfriend. "Neji… you… you did this for me?" she walked around and more tears cascaded down her cheeks.
She looked up in surprise when she felt soft fingers gently wiping her tears away. Neji smiled at her, h-he... smiled for me… "Tenten… I would do more than this for you. To me, you're my everything… my world… my life… I'd never let you go… and I certainly can't let you go now… I'm sorry Tenten… I didn't know what to say when you asked me. But it's clear now… the reason why I asked you out after one date wasn't because I just needed an arm candy… but because I loved you. And my heart told me that (A/N; OMFG! NEJI'S SO CORNY!! XD)…"
Tenten sniffed and immediately wrapped her arms around him. "Neji-kun! Neji-kun! Gomenasai! I was shallow! Gomenasai!" she cried out. She hugged him tightly. "Sshh… don't cry… it makes me sad when you cry… a smile suits you more than anything…" Tenten looked up. She was so enchanted by this man.
Who knew anyone can fall in love rock hard? Neji looked at her before leaning in closer. Tenten leaned towards him as well. Their lips locked and she slowly closed her eyes as he soon followed her action.
I'll never let him go again…
I'll never let her go again…
Aishiteru…
It seemed as if a heavy part of something had been lifted because the skies suddenly darkened and the rain fell down. Everything was drenched but there was color that stood against the rain. And that were the two figures standing in the rain… afraid to let go of each other…
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when its all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
Sakura looked at Ino and widened her eyes in surprise when rain came falling down. "Ino-chan! Ino-chan!" she shook the blonde. Ino stirred and slowly opened her eyes. She twitched when she felt a drop of rain hit her. Sakura smiled at before helping her stand up, "Ino we have to take Akamaru and Momo and find shelter!"
Ino nodded and quickly took their outer clothing and picked up Akamaru, Sakura helped with half of the clothes and picked up Momo. "Let's go Ino-chan! I saw a little cottage nearby!" Ino nodded at the pinkette as she led her towards the said cottage. Momo and Akamaru whimpered and licked their wet fur. Sakura finally saw the silhouette of the cottage and ran quicker, Ino had a hard time following but managed.
Sakura sighed in relief as she reached the cottage. She opened the door and let Ino in first. She followed and smiled when she saw the inside. There were two futons but other than that there was nothing except for two bottles of water and some towels hanging on the rack. Sakura let Momo down and Ino did the same to Akamaru.
The girls placed the stack of clothes neatly on the ground and sighed. –Thud!- "Ino!" Sakura widened her eyes when Ino collapsed. "Ino! Ino! Ino!" Sakura shook her but no response. Sakura gulped and checked her pulse. She sighed in relief, "Still there…" she placed a hand on the blonde's forehead. She gasped and immediately retreated her hand when she felt the burning sensation on the blonde's skin.
She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself
And the fears whispering
If she stands, she'll fall down
She wants to be found
The only way out is through
Everything she's running from
Wants to give up and lie down
"Ino baka… you shouldn't be shaken so much for a man…" Sakura sighed and smiled slightly. She carried the blonde and laid her on one of the futons, she covered her with the blanket and smiled as the two dogs licked Ino's hands. "She'll be alright you two." the two whimpered and laid down but the blonde.
Sakura stood up when she made sure the blonde was comfortable. She walked over to the towel rack and the bottles of water. She took one towel down and folded it neatly before wetting the towel with some water. She stood up and walked over to Ino again. She laid the wet towel on her forehead gently.
"Ino… get better soon…" Sakura said before getting into the other futon. She patted a spot in the middle of and Ino's futon. The two dogs yipped and laid down on the spot. Sakura warmed the dogs by sharing her blanket with them. "Well… might as well get some rest…" she sighed before closing her eyes and drifting off to dreamland.
Sasuke growled when he felt the rain hit his hair. He sighed before looking around. He raised an eyebrow when he spotted Shikamaru sitting under a rooftop. He ran over to where he was and sat down beside him. "Nara." Shikamaru looked up.
"What?" he said, his tone sounded harsh but Sasuke ignored it.
"What are you doing out here?" Sasuke asked as he squeezed some water out of his hair.
Usually, Shikamaru would be laughing at the sight of Sasuke trying to get water out of his hair, but it was different now. The genius with an IQ over 200 was stuck and sad. "I was gonna buy Ino some flowers until the goddamn troublesome rain started falling…"
"Hn."
Shikamaru sweat dropped, "What are you doing here?"
Sasuke looked a him, "Buying drinks." Shikamaru nodded and the two stayed silent most of the time. Until Sasuke broke it. Yes, SASUKE. "Nara… if you love her than tell her. Don't mess with a woman's heart. It's disrespectful."
Shikamaru only replied with a simple, "Troublesome…" Sasuke stayed silent again before looking away. The silence once again engulfed them.
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when its all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
Shino, Kiba, Chouji, and Lee sighed as they reached the food stand. "Great… I can't believe we're separated from the others during the rain! What happens if Neji drives them all back to the hotel? Then where will we go?!"
Shino looked at Kiba, "Hn." Kiba twitched and sighed. The food stand was empty so he's guessing the owner went home.
Lee's eyes suddenly sparked, "YOSHI! I WILL STAND AGAINST THIS RAIN AND I WILL NOT COMPLAIN BECAUSE IT IS NOT YOUTHFUL! IF I DO NOT SUCCEED THAN I WILL RUN 100 LAPS AROUND SUNA AS SOON AS THE RAIN STOPS TO RAISE MY YOUTH LEVEL!"
….

"-Munch-… -munch-…"
"I don't know you man."
Hinata squeaked when she felt rain hit her toes. "Naruto-kun, i-it's raining!" she widened her eyes.
Naruto grinned, "That's great! I love the rain, don't you Hinata-chan?!" Hinata inwardly wanted to pound him but if she did than she won't have a crush anymore.
Hinata twitched a bit before answering him. "Err... n-not really…" she said. Naruto smiled before taking her hand in his. Hinata widened her eyes in surprise. "Naruto-kun!"
Naruto smiled at her, she blushed, "Don't worry Hinata, we'll get there!" Hinata nodded shyly and grasped his hand tightly. Naruto-kun…
-BANG!-
"EEK!" Hinata jumped and quickly sat down and hid her face with her knees. Naruto widened his eyes. "Hinata-chan?"
Flash Back
"YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING GIRL! YOU KNOW WHAT?! YOU'RE GOING TO BE OUTSIDE! YOU'RE NOT MY DAUGHTER ANYMORE! I CAN'T BELIEVE I RAISED A PIECE OF TRASH!" Hiashi growled as he slapped a 10 year old Hinata across the face.
"O-Otou-san!" Hiashi kicked her outside and glared at her as she whimpered.
"I'm not your otou-san anymore!" and that was all he said before slamming the door on her face. Hinata gasped.
-BANG!-
She whimpered when she heard thunder striking. "O-Otou-san…" she cried as she hid her face using her knees. –BANG!- She cried out in surprise again. She was now shaking uncontrollably. "O-Otou-san…"
End Flash Back
"O-Otou-san…" Naruto widened his eyes when he heard her whimper her father's name. He narrowed his eyes. He had heard stories of Hiashi's cruelty towards Hinata from Neji. He hated the man with a passion even if he'd never met him. Naruto bent down and brought Hinata into his arms. He felt her tears wetting his shirt. Hinata hiccupped and hid her face deep within his shirt, "Don't leave me alone…"
He widened his eyes before his eyes softened. It pained him to hear her talk like this… see her like this… "Hinata…" he hugged the girl tighter and ran a hand through her hair soothingly, "Hinata… I won't leave you… I'll never leave you… I swear I'll protect you… I'll protect you Hinata…" Hinata's eyes slowly closed as she heard him.
"Arigato… Naruto-kun…"
I won't leave you Hinata… I promise… zutto… zutto…
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when its all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when its all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
