Declaimer: Lovelyanimedoes not own Naruto. If she did, the artwork would be really different. She also does not own the songs Red Hot(awesome song by Ellegarden), the barney song, and Truth (by Yuna Ito from the movie Nana)
Lovelyanime: I'm sorry for the long update. It's a new semester at school and I got a lot of homework. I also had a little difficulty with this chapter too. You know how writers block is. But must of all why I didn't update was because of a friend. He reads my stories and he messes with me all the time. I always threaten him that I won't update my stories. He didn't believe me until now! Mahahahahah!
Sasuke: So you punish your friend by punishing everyone else? You sure are nice.
Lovelyanime: Look who talking! You're not nace at all! And no! I did it because people can go after him instead of me for not updating. Then, he shall be chased around by everyone and I will sit back and watch. (laughs evilly) Anyway, sorry about this. I will make it up by adding a little special at the end and answer everyone's reviews( not just questions and I think I'll do that for now on). Just to let everyone know, Hina-chan is in here at the end of the chapter. Hope you like it.
Happy b-day to my little cousin Faith.

Chapter 14- Tasogare
Gracia's ears twitched and turned to look at her otou-san. She heard him say 'suicide.' She knew very well what suicide was. She heard it many times when everyone spoke about her kaa-san. In the beginning she did not know what it meant, but as time went on she found out what it was. She remembered the last time she saw her kaa-san. It was not very pleasant and Gracia was scared when it had happened.
"Why won't you die." Yomiko continued to shake Gracia in her hands. "I wish I never given birth to you, you little demon. You ruined my life."
She remembered very well what happened that day. She remembered her kaa-san shaking her that morning and that night when she was at a park by herself and an assassin was there to kill her. He told her that her kaa-san had sent him. She was lucky that the man had died before he had the chance to even leave a scratch on her. Later on, she heard that her kaa-san had jumped off a building somewhere. Gracia rubbed her bandaged neck as Hisoka got her attention. He had a worried look on his face.
"Are you okay?" Hisoka asked. He was going to ask if she was okay since she looked kind of sad, but saw her rubbing her neck with the bandages. "Do you have an owey on your neck?"
Gracia did not say anything, but just nodded her head yes.
"What happened?"
Gracia thought about it for a moment. After the assassin was dead it was sort of a big blank to her. She remembered she was crying and there was a lot of sand coming toward her. She felt pain coming from her neck and then everything went dark for her. She woke up an hour later to her otou-san and Kankuro finding her on the ground. They both had a worried look on their faces like Hisoka does right now.
"I did it." She told Hisoka. She let her hand slip down from her neck and laid it on her lap.
"Why don't you have your otou-san kiss it?" Gracia gave him a questionable look. "When I have an owey, my kaa-san kisses it and it goes away really fast."
"It won't go away."
"Oh…Hey! I just noticed something!" Hisoka grinned.
"What is it?"
"You have a tail."
Gracia blinked a few times. He just noticed. How could he not have? They have been playing together for almost ten minutes and he just noticed?
"Baka." Gracia threw some sand at him.
"Hisoka dusted the sand off of him as he continued to smile. "That wasn't very nice."
"No duh." Gracia glared at him.
"You want to see Something?" Hisoka looked around the park, as if he was looking for someone. He looked slightly frighten as he looked to see who was at the park. He stopped and went back to Gracia. He raised his beanie in the front a little so only Gracia could see.
Gracia gasped a little at what she saw. He was just like her? That could not be possible, could it? Tamaki sometimes tells her that there was a boy that was like her, but she never listened to him and she did not really care then.
Hisoka put his beanie back down on his head. "My tail is in my pants. It makes a lump, but no one really notices it." He told her. He then continued to make the sand castle he was building. He looked back up at Gracia. "Are you sure you don't want to help me?"
Gracia just stared at him. He was just like her. Yet it did not seem that he was proud of what he was. Gracia was proud and did not care of people think of her, but she would hurt them with her sand she did it just for a chuckle. Like she did with those girls earlier when she used her sand. Hisoka though…He hid himself to make him look normal like everyone else. Perhaps people here judged him like people do to her at home.
'Except he pretends not to care but he does.' Gracia thought before she started to help Hisoka with the sand castle. Maybe, just maybe she can trust someone finally besides her family. Someone that knows how she feels almost every day. Someone who knew how it was being treated by others…
Meanwhile…With Gaara and Naruto
"This is very important Naruto. There is no joking around with this." Gaara warned his blonde friend. "There are people that are part of an organization called Tasogare."
"The Tasogare? I have never heard of them." Naruto said as he sat on the grass next to Gaara.
"They have only been around for year or so. "I only first learned about them when I received a message from Yugito in the cloud village."
"Who is Yugito?"
"Of all people you should know Naruto. She is like us. She is the container of Nibi no Nekomata. I have kept in contact with her for a long time. When I told her about having Gracia she decided to have another child herself. She had a boy and he turned out to be like Hisoka and Gracia. He too has ears and a tail like them. A year ago, Yugito sent me a warning of some people trying to kidnap her son. I kept an eye on Gracia for a while and found a man that was about to go through her window while she was sleeping. I killed him before he had the chance to get inside. After that I came here to Konoha to warn Hinata."
Gaara was silent for a moment. He was not sure if he should tell Naruto. He was afraid what his reaction would be, specially in the middle of a park.
"I have something to tell you, but you need to stay calm." Gaara looked back at Naruto. "You don't want to start yelling and such in front of Hisoka and everyone else, do you?"
Naruto stayed silent for a moment before answering. "Just tell me what happened. And I'll try to keep quiet."
Gaara nodded. "It happened about a year ago…"
FLASHBACK (Gaara tells his POV to Naruto)
I went inside the hokage's office, not even bothering to knock. Shikamaru and Temari were following me with Tamaki in Temari's arms. Tsunade-sama was talking to two of your friends, Kiba and Shino as Sakura stood next to her. She stopped when she saw me and asked what was going on.
"Where is Hinata and Hisoka. I need to find them." I told her in a hurry.
"I don't know. Hinata has the day off from the flower shop and has Hisoka. They could be anywhere in Konoha. What is going on?" She asked as she stood up from her seat.
"Hisoka is in danger and Hinata could be too."
Everyone looked at me shocked. Kiba came up and spoke.
"She should be waiting for me and Shino-"
"Shino and I." Shino coughed.
Kiba gave Shino a 'this is no time for that' look. He stopped and continued. "She said when we come back from our mission she's going to prepare a picnic for us."
"Where?" I ordered more than asked.
"At our old training ground." Shino told me.
"Good. We need to hurry." I turned around to lave with Shikamaru behind me. Kiba and Shino looked at each other for a moment before following. Tsunade ordered Sakura to go as well in case they needed medical help. Temari stayed to tell Tsunade what was happening.
We all wen outside and Kiba hopped on Akamaru. I had him and Shino lead the way since I did not know where the training ground was. We all hurried, adding chakra to our feet to quicken our pase.
"Do you mind telling what is going on Gaara?" Sakura finally spoke. "You tell us Hisoka and Hinata are in danger, but you never said from what."
"There are people after the demon container's children. They had already come to my village to get my daughter." I told her. "Kankuro is keeping her safe along with some chunnins and junnins."
We made it to a forest of trees and jumped to the branches. We continued to jump from one branch to another.
"Why are they after them?" Shino asked.
I was about to answer when we all heard a loud scream. It sounded a lot like Hinata. We soon came to a clearing and saw food scattered and a torn blanket and a picnic basket ripped to pieces. There were two men fighting Hinata as there were a dozen knocked out men lying on the ground. Hisoka laid unconscience and was bleeding from multiple cuts. Hinata was in a worse condition though. She had multiple cuts and bruises all over her. There was also a large gash on her leg that was bleeding badly. She was barely able to stand-and fighting no less. She was breathing heavily and held the side of her stomach.
"I am not letting you have my son!" She yelled.
"Hinata!" Kiba yelled as we all landed on the ground. Shikamaru told Sakura to go to Hisoka to heal his wounds' first. She ran to him and the rest of us went to Hinata's side.
She looked to her friends, but did not smile. She was to tired. The two men also turned to see that we had arrived.
"All of you stay out of this!" The first man yelled. "This has nothing to do with you."
"We just want the boy." The second man brought out a kunai. "Give him to us or you will all regret it."
"We will see about that!" Kiba growled before turning to Hinata. "Go have Sakura heal you. You are in no condition to fight."
"Iie…I have to…fight…I have to protect Hisoka…Myself" She said out of breath as she activated her byakugen.
"You can not do this on your own." I stepped in front of everyone else. "I promise on Naruto's grave, I will help whatever it takes to keep you and Hisoka safe."
Everyone stared at me strangely. They thought it was weird for me to promise such a thing. It was just that you were my first friend and knew how it felt to be different. I just wanted to repay you by protect the ones you loved.
"Are you all done babbling or are you ready to die where you stand?!" yelled the first man
"Shikamaru, think of a plan to take care of these men." I ordered. Shikamaru nodded and began to think of a hundred ways to defeat the men. "Hinata, go get healed by Sakura."
"Iie, I'm going to continue fighting." She refused to leave. I was thinking that she did not want to let you down like in the chunnin exams those years ago. She did not want to seem weak, especially in a situation concerning Hisoka.
"I am tired of waiting!" The second man ran toward Hinata, but I blocked him with my sand. He moved and went toward Shino. Shikamaru made a hand sign and grabbed the second man with his shadow jutsu. "Wh-what the hell? I can't move!"
"How Troublesome." Shikamaru sighed. "Lets just get this over with."
Shino brought his bugs out, Kiba and Akamaru looked as if they were about to kill and I brought out more of my sand. Hinata tried to go into the Hyuuga's stance despite the pain she was in. She was not able to and decided to just stop to rest like we told her too. The two men began to become afraid of what was going to happen next.
(I have had really- and I mean REALLY bad writers block for the fight scene. So, Lets just skip this little part and see what happens afterwards, shall we?)
Kiba dropped the enemy on top of a pile of the other men. We all defeated the two men and it was quite easy. They had to be at least a chunnin level by the way they fought. It seemed they did not have much experience in battle.
"That takes care of that." Kiba muttered. "How is Hisoka doing Sakura?"
"He's going to be okay. Just needs to rest for a while." Sakura sighed with relief. "Hinata come here so I can heal you too."
Hinata nodded and was about to go to Sakura when she fell to the ground. Kiba and Shino quickly went to her side, checking if she was okay. I heard some noises coming toward us and I looked to see who it was. Shikamaru also heard the noise and brought out a kunai, ready to attack. We waited for who it was and saw Temari, Tsunade, and some ANBU.
Tsunade went towards Hinata while Temari went to Shikamaru and the ANBU went to the pile of men. Tsunade started to heal Hinata while asking Sakura about Hisoka's condition.
END OF FLASHBACK (I know it isn't the best place to stop, but I can't think of anything else to write in there.)
"Hinata had to stay at the hospital for a while. Hisoka didn't have to, but Hinata told me since then Hisoka has been afraid of a lot of people outside of the village. We kept the men for questioning, but they did not say much. We had to execute them later on." Gaara watched Naruto carefully. He was just sitting there with a blank expression.
"It's…It's my fault they got hurt." Naruto said after a few minutes of silence. "I should have been here instead of pretending to be dead."
"It was not your fault Naruto. Even if you were still in Konoha back then, most likely you would not have been there in the training ground during that time." Gaara explained. "You might have been on a mission or at another training ground."
"Yeah, I guess…"
Why don't you ask why the hell he hurt our mate!? After hearing the story of people hurting Naruto's and his mate made him angry. And hearing about them hurting Hisoka made him even more angry.
Kyuubi? Where have you been? I haven't heard a damn peep out of you for a long time. What happened? Naruto asked. And what the hell do you mean ours?
I haven't had time to talk for the past chapters. The damn author said there wasn't enough room. Also, I live in your body so that makes that girl both ours.
I am not sharing her with you!
Fine, whatever, but this is not the time for that. Ask why they attacked in the first place.
I was going to. Naruto came back to reality and asked what the Kyuubi told him to ask.
"They wanted to do what my village tried to me. They want to use our children as weapons." Gaara replied.
"Why do they want to do that?"
"Since they are half demons, they will be very powerful when they are older. They may be as strong as the demon they were born from. They may even be stronger, but no one is for sure."
"I see…Do you know anything else about the Tasogare?"
"It seems that someone sent all those people to test them. The men we caught told us they were trying to get in the organization. Tsunade believed the leader of the organization most likely used the men to see how well guarded our children were. They used them as sacrifices for their own experiment."
"Have they attacked since?"
"Luckily, no. We have been watching out for an attack, but nothing has happened."
"Has Yugito's kid been injured during their last attack?" Naruto asked, worried about the woman's child.
"Iie. They did not even get a scratch on him. Yugito captured the man that tried to get her child and that was how she found out about them going to get Gracia and Hisoka."
"Well, that's good he wasn't harmed. I guess Hisoka and Hinata were the only ones hurt then…"
"Like I said, it was not your fault. You should not put yourself down."
"I guess…Arigoto for telling me. Now lets raise our spirits up a little. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Gaara thought for a moment and remembered something. He glared at Naruto. "Shukaku informed me something me about something that may happen with our children."
Naruto did not like the glare Gaara was giving him and knew something bad was going to happen to him. "What is it that he told you?"
"Since our demons are like animals, they go into heat. And since our children are like our demons, they might go into heat as well."
"Heat? What is hea-Oh! Heat. Now I know…HEAT? What the hell do you mean they will go into heat?!"
"I mean when mating season comes they will get into heat when they are older. I'm sure the Kyuubi knew this too."
KYUUBI! Naruto screamed mentally.
Hai? Is something the matter? Kyuubi tried to be innocent, but for being a demon it was quite difficult.
YOU KNEW! YOU KNEW I HAD A SON! YOU KNEW HE WAS HALF DEMON! YOU KNEW HE IS GOING TO GO INTO HEAT!
Did I kit? Did I?
HAI!
……Alright, I did. I am not sure if Hisoka will, but most likely he will if you let him near that perverted old man. What was his name…Ero-sennin was it? I believe so. Anyway, we will just have to find out in a couple of years.
"Naruto." Naruto got out of his conversation with the Kyuubi when he heard Gaara.
"Yeah?" Naruto looked back up at Gaara and saw he was still glaring.
"If they do go into mating season, I will hunt you down if Hisoka ever touches Gracia."
Naruto could see a sign over Gaara's head saying 'over protective otou-san that will kill all boys on the planet so none can be near his daughter alert'. "Demo, why would you come after me?"
"Because you are his otousan. And as his otou-san you shall take full responsibility. Then, I will go after Hisoka."
"De-demo-"
"I do not care about all the things you have done for me. If Hisoka even thinks about Gracia, I will know. So you should be careful Naruto." Gaara picked up his gourd and puts it on his back. "I must leave now. Temari is expecting us back for lunch."
Naruto just nodded his head slowly. He was too afraid of the new Gaara as of right now. I guess having a daughter makes you crazy…I am so glad Hisoka is a boy.
I agree, but if Hisoka does try something we can always defeat Gaara.
What if we can't defeat him?
Then we will just have to leave the village for another few years.
"Think about what I said Naruto. The Tasogare and mating season. If you have anymore questions, I'll be at Temari and Shikamaru's new home." Gaara went over to the sand box. "Gracia, we are leaving now."
Gracia looked over at her otou-san and back at Hisoka. He looked as if he was heart broken that she was leaving. Gracia stood up and wiped the sand off of her.
Hisoka got up too and hugged Gracia. "I hope we can play again."
Gracia had another unfamiliar heat in her cheeks again. After a second later, she pushed Hisoka away and went to her otou-san. She held onto his pant leg tightly.
Hisoka was confused for a moment then he remembered that she did not want him to touch her. "Gomen na sai."
Gracia just glared at him as she nodded slowly. She looked up at her otou-san, wondering if they were going to leave now. He was glaring off somewhere before taking Gracia's hand and walking away.
Naruto turned pale at Gaara's glare. He felt a killing intent coming from Gaara to him. Why me? Why do these things happen to me?
Because you are the main character in the series. Of course everything is going to happen to you.
Gee, thanks for telling me.
No problem kit.
"Otou-san!" Hisoka ran up to Naruto. "Can we go get some ramen? I'm hungry." Hisoka made a little puppy-dog look.
How the hell does he does that? It was so kawaii, not even he could resist. Who taught him that anyway? Naruto wondered before getting up and stood. "Lets hurry then, it's almost lunchtime. All the seats might be taken."
Naruto and Hisoka headed to the ramen stand. They found two empty seats just in time. Naruto kept an eye on Hisoka in case he tried to add hot sauce in his ramen. Hisoka did not which made Naruto very happy that his throat was not burned. During this time, Naruto thought about the Tasogare. There was no way they were going to get his son as long as he was around. And he plans to stay for a long time…
Later that night…
Naruto made it to Iruka's apartment, tired from spending a day with Hisoka. He brought out a key Iruka gave him to open the door. He walked inside and went straight to the couch that he had been sleeping on for the last few days. He fell on the couch, about to fall asleep when he heard someone.
"Oi Naruto, how was your day?" Iruka asked as he came out of the kitchen.
"Long." Naruto grumbled. "I never knew having a kid could be so tiring."
"You think that is hard, you should try working at the academy. While someone like you was in your class." Iruka laughed when he heard Naruto groan.
"Whatever. It wasn't just Hisoka. I talked to Shino who has gotten psycho and chased me with his bugs, Gaara telling me about the Tasogare." Iruka flinched when he heard the word Tasogare. "I couldn't get that out of my head. After getting some ramen I bumped into Lee and TK again, got away from them, but I ran into Kiba who was running from Shino and then ran after me. I ran to baa-chan's office so I could hide, but she was still kind of mad from yesterday. Got out of there and met up with Shikamaru and Tamaki which gave me a break. I dragged Hisoka everywhere and he was wild the whole time. I think baa-chan gave him some candy or something."
"Doesn't sound that bad."
"I was running all over Konoha with Hisoka. I couldn't just leave him somewhere so I could get away faster. I couldn't though and everyone was close to catching us. Plus, he kept wanting to stop to talk to the people that were chasing us." Naruto began to doze off.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Iruka went into his own room to sleep.
NARUTO'S DREAM
"What going on?" Naruto asked himself confusingly. He had no idea where he was. He looked down and saw he was holding a guitar. He then looked back up when he heard some people. He saw Sakura, Ino, Lee, Tenten, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Chouji, Temari, Gaara, Kankuro and-
"Hinata?" Naruto's eyes widened. There she was. Her- along with the rest of his friends- were all fifteen again and sitting at a couple of tables. Naruto just stared at Hinata. She was so beautiful with that blush across her face.
"Ready Naruto?" Naruto looked back and saw Neji, Kiba and Shino with instruments of their own. They all looked as they were fifteen again too.
"What's happening?" Naruto asked his Hyuuga friend.
"How could you forget? This was your damn idea." Neji sighed. "You wanted to do a song for Hinata and everyone."
"I did? What song?"
"Don't act like you don't know. Now play."
"Err…a-all right." Naruto looked over at Hinata. He stopped wondering what was going on when he saw her eyes.
"G-good luck, N-Naruto-kun." She whispered. Even though it was low he could still hear it.
Without knowing it, Naruto began to play the guitar with everyone else starting to play as well. Naruto took a deep breath and began to sing.
Wake me up before you leave
I've got an interview today
I wanna job so don't forget to lend me
Some for train
Naruto continued to stared at Hinata as she just stared back at him. He did not know what everyone else was doing, but he did not care. All that mattered was Hinata and Hinata alone.
I'm growing up to be a better man
But I always fail I'm still a dirty bug
I wanna grab the flag
But there's always someone faster
I'm trying to live a bit seriously
But what's on my mind is you know always girls
Vitaminize me
Pass me the potato chips
Jiraiya came into the room, wondering what was going on. He heard some music from outside and wanted to find out what it was. After seeing it was his old pupil he decided to stay.
I got the music playing loud in my head I'm going down like 20 times a day
You know what
When nothing's going right
You know what
It's like a magic thing
I got a red hot chili blows it away
I got the music playing loud in my head
Turn the blinker off we go straight ahead
It could be less or maybe the same as you
And I'm floating up more than
A million times a day
Lee stood up from his seat and started to say things about the springtime of youth. He also said something about Naruto was a wonderful singer and guitar player.
I'm trying to live a bit cautiously
But what's on my mind is always having fun
I know nicotine kills
But quitting smoking kills me now
Shikamaru lit up his cigarette and sucked in the smoke. He smirked at the people on stage. He mumbled a 'troublesome' as Temari laid her head on his shoulder.
I got the music playing loud in my head As always things won't be better
You know what
When nothing's going right
You know what
It's like a magic thing
I got a red hot chili blows it away
I got the music playing loud in my head
Turn the blinker off we go straight ahead
As always no one understands
As always I'll do anything
As always if it makes you laugh
Hinata's smile got bigger and bigger. Naruto was doing so well, she wished this would last forever. Everyone was watching his performance and knew no one would say anything bad about it afterwards. It was too good to say something bad about it.
I got the music playing loud in my head I got the music playing loud in my head
I'm growing up to be a better man
But I always fail I'm still a dirty bug
I wanna grab the flag
But there's always someone faster
I got a red hot chili blows it away
I got the music playing loud in my head
Turn the blinker off we go straight ahead
I got a red hot chili blows it away
I got the music playing loud in my head
Turn the blinker off we are heading ahead
Naruto looked around to see everyone clapping their hands. He scratched the back of his head as a grin came to his face.
"That was pretty good Naruto." Sakura said. "But don't you think you can play something better?"
"What do you mean Sakura? That was really good." Tenten tilted her head to the side slightly.
"I mean he should play something more…Romantic."
"Why do you want us to play that? Kiba asked.
"Well…" Sakura eyed Sasuke and blushed. "I just think it would be nice."
"Is that what you really want Sakura-chan?" Lee asked as he came up in front of her. "If so, I shall play something for you myself!"
"Lee ran and jumped on top of the stage. He stole the microphone from Naruto. He cleared his throat as a song everyone knew to well came out of now where. Everyone went to cover their ears for what was about to come
I love you
You love me
We're a happy family
Sakura's eyes widened from horror. She HATED this song so much. And Lee was singing it! Sasuke watched this too and his right eye began to twitch. How dare he sing to HIS Sakura. He was so going to pay later on.
With a great big hug
A kiss from me to you
Lee blew a kiss to Sakura that she dodged. Sasuke got up and jumped on stage. He strangled Lee with his hands saying 'I'll kill you.' Kiba and Neji tried to pull Sasuke away from Lee.
Jiraiya snuck onto stage to talk with a certain blonde singer holding a guitar. "You know, you should sing something sexy. I'm sure that Hinata girl would love it and give you a little something later." Jiraiya grinned pervertedly.
"What was that?" Naruto was furious now. Shino held him back so they would not have another person killing someone else.
"Why don't you sing Hinata? You have a really pretty voice," Tenten told her.
"I-I don't kn-know." Hinata blushed. What if Naruto did not like her voice? She was too afraid to find out.
"Don't worry. Tenten and I will play the interments. I'm sure Sakura will too. We'll be right there behind you." Ino came in, wanting to hear Hinata's voice.
"Sure, I'll help." Sakura said.
"Ano…A-all right."
"Great, now I'll clear out the stage." Sakura jumped on top of the stage. "QUIET!" Everyone stopped what they were doing to stare at the pink haired kunoichi. "GET OFF THE DAMN STAGE OR ELSE!"
Everyone did what she said, not wanting to make Sakura any angrier.
"Good. Now, you better watch the next performance. If I catch you look the other way or look bored so help me I will MURDER YOU ALL! Got that?" Everyone nodded their heads. "Okay then, girls you can come up now."
"Why the hell do guys like her?" Gaara wondered.
"I do not like her. I LOVE HER!" Lee watched his future wife as she picked up the guitar.
"Say anything else and I'll kill you." Sasuke glared at the green freak shinobi.
"Hinata-chan looks pretty." Naruto grinned like an idiot.
"Ino looks pretty good in that lighting." Kiba said to himself.
"I agree." Shino said. Kiba and Shino looked at eachother for a moment before going to watch the girls.
"Tenten does look nice today." Neji blushed a little, hoping no one would notice.
"Don't you want to go up there?" Shikamaru asked Temari who still had her head on his shoulder.
"Nah. I want to be right here with my Shika-kun."
"Shikamaru and Temari, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G." Kankuro and Chouji sang while trying to keep their laughter down.
"SHUT THE HELL UP OVER THERE!" Sakura yelled to Kankuro and Chouji.
"All right, lets get this show on the road!" Tenten pointed towards Jiraiya- who was by a piano- to star playing. Hinata let out a sigh. She looked at Naruto and smiled.
Let me stay with you
Kizutsuke au no ni
Naze konna ni motomete shimau no
Don't you know my heart ?
Sunao ni narezu ni ita no
Tada hitotsu no ai ga hoshii no ni
Meguriaeta kiseki wo shinjite
Kanadete yukitai anata e no melody
Moshi mo subete wo nakushite shimatte mo
Kono omoi wa eien na no
It's my truth
"Wow, Hina-chan has a really pretty voice." Naruto said aloud. Everyone around him nodded their heads in agreement.
Believe in yourself
Tsumazuita toki mo
Aruitekita namida wo nugutte
Open up your heart, omoide no saki ni kitto
Ashita to iu kibou ga aru kara
Give me your loneliness
And I'll give you my tenderness
Wasurenai de ite ano hi mita yume wa
Hanareteite mo kono mune ni itsudemo
Kanjite iru anata dake wo
It's my truth
"Oh Shika-kun, don't you just love this?" Temari asked as she looked up at his face.
"Yeah, but Sakura is very troublesome." Shikamaru answered her.
"It's good as long as you are here." She kissed his cheek. Gaara was watching this and had a blood thirsty stare at Shikamaru.
Tsunagaru hoshi ga sasayaki kakeru
Tomadou kokoro wo te ga shinagara
Deai to wakere hito wa sagasu no
Itsuka musubi aeru tsuyoi kizuna wa
Sekaijuu no kanashimi mo subete
Uketomete mo ii anata no tamenara
Sekaijuu kara okizari ni sarete mo
Sono hitomi wo shinjite iru
It's my truth
All was dead quiet after the music had died down. No one said a word since they were to shocked(or in Shikamaru and Temari's case, to busy making out.) Who knew Hinata could sing! Who knew Ino was so hot (thought by Kiba and Shino)! Who knew Jiriaya could play a piano! Who knew Naruto was an baka!
"Oi! I heard that!" Naruto yelled.
"Dude, who are you talking to?" Kiba asked. "You've been yelling at thin air for the past couple chapters."
"Err…No one?"
"…Whatever." Kiba.
"Do you guys think you can do that again? This time in English?" Chouji asked as he opened a new bag of potato chips.
The girls just looked at eachother. Should they? It would help the author for when people ask for the english song lyrics.
"O-okay then, but r-real quick." Hinata said into the microphone. Tenten pointed at Jiraiya to start again. He groaned and mumbled something about wanting to do some research at the hot springs now.
Let me stay with you even if it hurts both of us
Why must I always demand so much
Don't you know my heart could never stay put
There's simply only one love I want
Believing in miracles we can come across
I go on playing a melody for you
Even if I end up losing everything
This feeling is forever, It's my truth
Believe in yourself even when you stumble
Wipe your tears as you walk on
Open up your heart beyond the memories, surely
There is a hope we call tomorrow
Give me your loneliness
and I'll give you my tenderness
Don't forget the dream we saw that day
Even if we're separated, in this heart
I will feel you forever, It's my truth
Your whisper reaches the scattered stars
Illuminating my confused heart
In every encounter and farewell, what people search for is
This strong bond that will unite them someday
All the sadness throughout the world
If it's for you, I can take it all in
Even if the whole world deserts me
I believe in those eyes, It's my truth
"That was awesome Hina-chan!" Naruto jumped onto the stage and hugged the shy girl. Her face went all red as she told him thank you.
"Oh Sakura-chan! You were so wonderful up there!" Lee went to run on stage, but he was tripped.
"Stay away from her you dumbass!" Sasuke said not caring that he was ooc.
"It is not me that is the dumbass!" Lee got up from the ground and went into a stance. "Come Sasuke! We shall fight for Sakura-chan's love! Let me warn you though, I have the springtime of youth on my side!"
"I hate the way you talk! You're on!" Sasuke and Lee began a huge fight as Sakura decided to get some sake.
"Ino that was a very good performance." Shino told the blonde girl when she went to sit back down.
"Ano…Thanks I guess." Ino thought it was strange for Shino to talk to her. They were never really friends so it was strange.
"Oi Ino! I think you were hot up there." Kiba grinned at her.
Ino wanted to punch Kiba across the room for saying that. Yet, she was blushing from the comment too.
"Okay…"
"Why don't you leave her alone Kiba. She does not want to be around someone like you." Shino glared at his friend from under his sunglasses.
"And you think she rather wants to be around a bug freak like you? I don't think so!"
"She would rather be with someone smarter and smell nicer than you."
"Why the hell are you guys fighting?" Ino thought this was not normal. Did they have a crush on her or something? She hoped not…
Shino took Ino's hands making her blush. "Ino, without you I would be nothing. Without you I would be…Ssshhhh."
"That was the dumbest thing I have ever heard! This is how you do it!" Kiba took Ino's hands from Shino. "Will you have my puppies with me?"
Ino's eyes widened like dinner plates. "I think you guys are drink!"
"Let go of her or else." Shino warned.
"Oh yeah? What are you going to do?"
Shino looked over and saw Lee and Sasuke still fighting. No one bothered to do anything about it this time. "We will fight over her like they are for Sakura."
"All right! You're on!" Kiba and Shino began to have their own fight together.
"I think I would have Chouji over these guys." Ino said out loud and looked over at her teammate. Right now, he was making out with his bag of potato chips. "Then again…" She sighed and got up to have sake with Sakura,
"So Neji what did you think?" Tenten asks her teammate.
"It was very good." Neji looks around to make sure no one was watching. He leans into Tenten's ear and whispers something that makes her blush.
"O-okay then. I don't mind."
Neji grabs her hand and leads her into a closet. When they shut the door, weird sounds come from the inside. No one bothered to see what it was.
"Well I'm off to do my research." Jiraiya heads to the door.
"I guess I'll come to. Everything is getting a little to weird here." Kankuro says as he follows Jiraiya.
"You want to come with me to the hot springs?"
"Yeah, why?"
Jiraiya got all teary eyed over this. "No one never wants to come to go to the hot springs with me!"
Kankuro was having second thoughts when Jiraiya pulled his arm and dragged him towards the hot springs.
"Get the hell of my sister!" Came a demon-like voice.
Shikamaru and Temari jumped from eachother to see Gaara with his sand out.
"Gaara? What do you want? Can't you tell that we are busy?" Temari was pissed off now that her make-out session with Shikamaru was interrupted.
"I am going to kill him!" Gaara was about to use his sand to kill Shikamaru when he saw Temari's sand. She hit him on the head with it. His sand did nothing to protect him.
"N-nee-an. Y-you hurt me." Tears started to come down Gaara's face. "WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH" Gaara ran out of the room.
Temari started to feel bad for her youngest brother and thought about going after him.
"Now that is over with, lets make-out." Shikamaru grabbed her, but she pulled away.
"Is that all you think about? Don't you feel bad for Gaara? Don't you care about my feelings?"
"Hmm…Yes, no and a little."
"Why you! Wrong answers genius!"
The next thing, Shikamaru fell to the ground dead. Temari stabbed him in the chest with a sward she got from out of no where. She grabbed Shikamaru's feet and started to drag him away so she could bury his body. No one in the room witnessed this incident. They were to busy fighting eachother, drinking sake, making out with someone or had already left.
"So what do you want to do now?" Naruto asked Hinata. They were still on stage talking to each other.
"Ano…A-anything you w-want to do N-Naruto-kun." Hinata blushed a little more.
"Okay then, lets see…" Naruto went into a thinking pose. He thought of something and was about to say it when he heard someone.
I have an idea. Came the demon voice.
Naruto looked behind his shoulder before going in front of Hinata to protect her. "What the hell are you doing here?!"
Is that any way to treat me kit? The Kyuubi was on the stage. He was not as big as he usually was and instead was a little bigger than Naruto. I was watching your dream and decided to pay a visit.
"How many times do I have to tell you?! Stop watching my dreams! They're private dammit!"
"Naruto-kun?" Hinata placed her hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"Just a second Hina-chan."
I know what you were about to say. You wanted to mate with her, didn't you kit? The Kyuubi grinned pervertedly.
Naruto blushed. "N-n-no I wasn't!"
Well can I then? Just for a few ho-
Naruto hit the Kyuubi on the head with a large hammer that he mysteriously found. "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE AND DON'T COME BACK!!!"
The Kyuubi whined as he rubbed his head. I was only joking
"Yeah right. I bet you're in heat right now!"
…Maybe…
"Get out of here!"
Fine. I will leave, but I'll be back. Just watch and see. The Kyuubi began to disappear. Remember, I live in you. So I can mess with you any other time I want. There was a loud sound of laughter when the Kyuubi was finally gone.
"We'll see about that." Naruto turned to Hinata who had seen the whole thing.
"Gomen, I didn't mean for you to see that." Naruto rubbed the back of his head.
Hinata blushed. "Wh-what he said was true Naruto-kun? Did you want to…" She could not finish with out turning red.
"Of course not!…I may have wanted to make out."
Hinata giggled and grabbed his hand. She was leading him so they could leave, there was no way she was going too make-out in front of everyone. They heard something in the closet. They wondered what it was so they opened the closet door to see what it was.
"Omg. What are you two doing?" Naruto nearly yelled.
Inside were Neji and Tenten. Nothing was wrong with that…Except they changed into each others clothes. Neji was jumping up and down so he could put on Tenten's pants when he they were caught.
"Ano…It's not what it looks like." Tenten told Naruto and Hinata nervously.
"We'll just pretend we didn't see anything." Naruto said. Hinata nodded her head in agreement. They shut the door and walked away very slowly.
"I-I think we sh-should get going." Hinata pulled Naruto and they left the building. They could not stay in there for another second after what they saw.
END OF DREAM
Naruto opened his eyes to find the sun was already morning. He sat up to stretch his arms over his head. He sat still after to think about his dream.
Huh, that was weird…I didn't know I could play the guitar.
That's it? That was the only weird thing? Not the oocness in your friends? Not how Jiraiya knew how to play a piano? Not Kiba and Shino having a crush over Ino? Not them fighting over her? Not Sasuke in a rage to kill Lee? Not Chouji making out with a bag of chips? Not Kankuro going off to do research with Jiraiya? Not Gaara crying like a little five year old? Not Temari killing Shikamaru? Not how you remembered those song in your dream? Not me wanting to mate with your girl? Not Tenten and Neji switching cloths? Not how I can remember all your friend's names? Kyuubi tried to catch his breath.
Hmm…Nope.
…Whatever. Just get ready so you can see Hisoka today.
Meanwhile…
Somewhere in another village laid a young woman asleep in a bed. She slowly opened her to reveal to everyone that they were lavender with no pupils. She sat up and looked around the room. She saw her blonde friend still asleep in her own bed and it was morning.
The woman sighed. "It was just a dream." She looked out the window. "Naruto-kun."
End of chapter
Lovelyanime's translations
Tasogare- twilight
Nibi no Nekomata- two tailed cat
Lovelyanime: It is done! After all this time it is finally done! I hope you liked the HisoGra part in the beginning. Aren't they cute?! I don't know much about Yugito. I only know what she looks like, what village she lives in, and what demon she has. I don't know how old she is and if she has any other children. So maybe in a review someone can tell me about her. I didn't know what to call the Tasogare and thought about calling them Midnight or something, but it was kind of stupid. The Tasogare people won't come back until Hisoka is twelve. I didn't plan for the Tasogare to come this early in the story and the Hyuugas' were the original people that were going to hurt Hisoka. Then I thought no and had the Tasogare fight instead. I'm sorry I didn't add the fighting scene, but I couldn't do it. Hope everyone forgives me. Oh! And when Hisoka and Gracia going in heat will happen when they're fifteen. Don't worry, nothing happens. Naruto locks Hisoka up in his room so he won't escape.(lol) Gaara is a huge over protective father like other fathers in real life. My dad is one because when he took my guy friend home from our house, he warned him about a few things. My friend told me the next day and I laughed since I didn't expect my dad to do something like that. Also, I thought that having the dream would be a good a idea. It would make the chapter longer, have Hinata in it(so people can be patent a little longer for her return), have a little Naruhina, and a whole bunch of funny random things going on. Don't ask me why, but for some reason I always imagine Naruto singing the song 'Red Hot'. I think 'Animal I have become' reminds me of Naruto the most, but not him singing it. I love the song Truth! I listen to that song like everyday along with Red Hot. The music video is pretty goo too. As for Lee singing…I watch the amv 'real ninjas' and thought it was funny with Lee. So I decided to put it in the chapter just for more funniness. I wanted to do something weird and funny for Neji and Tenten and them switching cloths came to my mind…I'm a weird person to think up that part.
(Hinata and Naruto comes back. Naruto looks like a wreck.)
Chouji: You okay Man? You look like a mess.
Naruto: I'm better than okay! I'm wonderful!
Shikamaru: How troublesome. Can we just answer the reviews now?
Lovelyanime: Sure, why not? Nothing else to talk about.
Comments!
Silver Warrior- I didn't really know about them being enemies in the japanese folklore.(I only know a few things on japanese culture.) Gracia thinks Hisoka is her rival, I hope that is good.
Miscellaneous-Soldier -I hope the chpter was long enough for you. I don't really write long chapters because it's easier for me and I don't take forever to update. I hope putting the dream with some naruhina made you happier about the story. And you are right. All pairings like narusaku can go to hell! I absolutely hate that pairing most of all!
Dragon Man 180- I'm glad you like Gracia and she will learn soon enough. I think I'll do a chapter when TK watches Hisoka, Gracia and Tomaki. I'm not sure if I want to do it though. I didn't know Yugito has a daughter so now, it won't be her. It's going to be a boy that Hisoka and Gracia will meet when they are twelve. And I think I agree with you. I don't think Naruto was resisting and had a grin like that. He did seem like he did enjoy himself when he came back.
scione- Thank you!
anonymous- I'm sorry you hate me, but I don't mean to put a lot of cliffhangers. I can't promise there won't be anymore though. There won't be for the next couple chapters if that is okay. Thank you for saying the chapter was good and I tried to make the chapter longer. I'm not really good with making long chapters, that's why I make them kinda short.
Emperor Bass exe- Thank you! I redid the last chapter and I try to use grammer and spelling checks. But I don't because I'm lazy and it's so troublesome. I don't want to bring Orochimaru( I hate him!) back, but I was thinking of Kabuto to return. The story has a long way to go so I have enough time to think I about it.
Static44- Shukaku wan't doing it just for Gaara, but for himself. He didn't like her and definably didn't want her as his mate. Naruto doesn't hurt anyone in this chapter, but he might in the future. Not sure yet. Hinata reaction will always be the same reaction or beat him to a pulp. Whatever it is, I'm not telling. Just going to have to wait and see.
Light of the Demons- I agree with you. People who do that are absolutely wrong to do something like that. They are bastards. And ano…Would it really help to kill her with a shotgun when she is already dead? Or will it just give her pain? Whatever, thanks for the review.
Imperor Gimp- I'm sorry I keep everything repetitive, but there is something to the stories. The chapter aren't fillers, they're just showing how Naruto's friends have been while he was gone and to see how much they have changed. In chapter two, I think, it said Hinata will be gone for a week. That's why it's taking a while. I hope Hinata being in this chapter makes you feel better.
Lyra the Soreress of Scholors- Thank you! I'm glad you were looking forward to the chapter. Hope you look forward to the next, it has Jiraiya in it.
hinata-naruto-neji-HNN- Sorry I didn't upate in a while, specially after a cliffhanger. I hope this chapter makes up for it.
kyuubifan- Sorry, you'll have to wait a while for them to reunite. But this has some naruhina in so I hope it makes things up. And I could tell you what Hinata will do, but I don't want to ruin it for you.
Jeikobu Kyoudai-teiru - Thank you! I'll try to update the next chapter faster than this one.
