Up in the sky! It's a bird... it's a plane! No, it's... it's Super Chapter!
This one's my longest yet, so I hope you all enjoy reading it!
Oh, and a general notice: I WILL NEVER EVER EVER WRITE A HAREM FIC!
That is all. Note, that does not say ANYTHING about the quality of harem fics, nor my opinion on them. I simply do not write them. I have nothing against harem fics, for that matter; as long as they are tastefully done.
A special thank-you goes out to DJ Rodriguez, Sealdfox, and all the other readers who reviewed! Your thoughts, comments, and advice are all greatly appreciated; thank you for taking the time to R&R!
My thoughts for today: I just saw the season finale of Avatar, and I am remembering Uncle Iroh's words: "Life is like this dark tunnel. You don't always see the light at the end, but if you follow your heart and continue onwards, you will come to a better place." That pretty much describes how I feel right now. I am uncertain and confused about a lot of things right now, and I know I'm not the only one in this great big world of ours. With those closest to us supporting us, we can continue onwards!
Some of you might recognize a few things; so as so not spoil the surprise, disclaimers will come at the end!
Onward! (indeed...)
Chapter 13 - Living Life to the Full
Naruto swarped into existence at the training field to find Tenten standing before him, wielding a simple katana.
"I'm going to use a generic katana so I don't hurt you, okay Naruto? There's something you need to understand: I know all about your fights with Hinata, Lee, and Tsunade-sama, and frankly: that's great and all, but right now you are far weaker than me when it comes to weapons. For example: take a look around you."
Annoyed, Naruto did a quick surveillance, then did a double-take and inspected the area more closely. Dozens of traps surrounded the training field. Puzzled, Naruto turned back to Tenten.
"I'm glad you noticed; bringing your half-dead body to Tsunade-sama didn't really appeal to me. If you stray too far out of the training area, you'll set of some traps. So don't get pushed out!" Tenten yelled.
Naruto paled.
Tenten grinned. "Now blondie, we're gonna start by teaching you the various forms of katana swordplay. These will similar to the ones used by the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, so don't be discouraged if you can't get them right away."
Naruto nodded, then paid rapt attention as Tenten began to execute a series of moves. Naruto was surprised to notice that he was able to follow them, and was able to detect exactly when Tenten switched forms, though it made his eyes hurt a little. Tenten stopped after awhile, then asked, "How many forms do you think I went through?"
Naruto gave a trademark fox-grin. "Seven."
Tenten's eyes widened. "That wasn't a guess, was it?"
As Naruto shook his head, Tenten smiled. "I guess you really are all you're cracked up to be. Okay, here's the first form! It's used when attacking or defending against multiple ninja at once. It's an all-around form, so this will be the one you settle into when you initiate a battle – this form has no disadvantages. Okay, draw and begin!"
Naruto drew his katana and moved to stand next to Tenten who, after blushing slightly, began to slowly execute the stance and various moves that resulted from the form. After two hours of this practice, which then involved increasing in speed and variations, Tenten stopped suddenly. She jumped away from Naruto, grinning.
"Okay blondie, you're getting the hang of it! I noticed that you follow my variations really quickly; that shows that you have a real knack for swordsmanship. After you've been taught the fourth stance, you should be able to learn any form just by learning the stance. For now, stick to the Shii-cho. Ready?"
And without waiting for an answer, Tenten leapt towards Naruto, blade slicing from top right diagonally. Naruto slid into the Shii-cho stance almost subconsciously and parried the blow, allowing Tenten's sword to slide down his. He attempted a chop slice from the left, but Tenten anticipated such a common parry and recovered magnificently, blocking with the hilt of her katana.
They continued in the same manner for another half-hour, until Tenten began a flurry of blows that completely overwhelmed Naruto's defense. As Tenten's sword flicked up to his neck, he laughed helplessly.
"Well, that's it then. Same time tomorrow morning?" Naruto asked hopefully. "I'll learn all seven forms in one week!"
Tenten laughed. "Like I said, and especially at the rate you're going, that will be entirely possible. Mastering the forms, though…" Tenten grinned evilly. "Ain't no way to get around the time it takes for that. See you tomorrow, blondie."
And with a seal, she poofed away. Naruto grinned at her departure and began to practice his new sword skill.
An hour later, Hinata and Sakura arrived from opposite ends of the training field. Naruto waved to them, then intercepted Rock Lee's flying kick with one hand. Shifting his grip, he swung Lee around and into the ground.
Lee popped back on his feet, laughing. "It is good to see that our team commander is always on his guard!"
Naruto laughed. "Okay, Hinata-chan, Sakura-chan, c'mon over! We've got teamwork to work on, so listen up!"
Hinata and Sakura came over, and Naruto immediately slashed his katana at Hinata and Sakura. They yelped and were driven together so that their shoulders were touching.
"And that means any petty differences you have, set them aside! I know you two are good friends, and frankly I don't care what you two are bickering about… for now. Right now you will set those differences aside and work together! Are we clear?"
Hinata stood straight and nodded. "Osu, Naruto-kun."
Sakura nodded as well. Naruto smiled, then began to outline their training schedule for the rest of the week.
"…and on the last couple days, if we're ready, I'm going to use a technique I've been developing for the last few months and we'll train our teamwork through action. Any questions?"
At their silence, Naruto nodded and they began to work on four-man formations and combination attacks. Naruto worked them until they ran out of sweat, but Naruto was always keeping pace with them, never leaving them behind, and always lending a hand. Eventually, Lee, Hinata, and Sakura began to do the same, helping and supporting each other in their movements.
After three grueling hours, Naruto held up a hand. "That's enough for today. Be back here tomorrow morning at the same time. Dismissed!"
Naruto turned to head back to town. As he walked Hinata ran up to walk beside him.
"You're a good squad leader, Naruto-kun. I think you'd do great with a team of genin!"
Naruto laughed. "I dunno Hinata-chan. I don't have much experience with children!"
Hinata laughed. "I disagree, Naruto-kun! The only example you have is your own childhood. Your very insightful, and I think you'd be able to teach three completely different kids really well!"
Naruto smiled. "Thanks Hinata-chan. I have given it some thought; after all, taking on a team of genin is one of the requirements for Hokage! That, or taking on an apprentice, whom you can still have when you become Hokage!"
"You know a lot about becoming Hokage, Naruto-kun." Hinata mused. "When did you learn all this?"
Naruto grinned. "During the only non-combat class I paid attention to in the academy. Iruka-sensei almost fainted when he realized I was paying such rapt attention."
Naruto thought for awhile. "Actually, during my training with Ero-sennin, I learned a ton of history and war strategy. I did this in my own time, so that I could be better prepared to lead a village."
Hinata smiled, eyes misty. "You've grown up so much, Naruto-kun, and yet not at all…"
Naruto smiled. "Why don't you get some rest, Hinata-chan. We've got a date tonight, remember?"
Hinata gasped. "I can't believe I almost forgot! Come by the Hyuuga house at 6! See you then, Naruto-kun!"
And Naruto was once again left alone, his only company the fleeting puff of smoke left by his departed friend. He laughed at some inside joke, then poofed away himself.
He had a few things to take care of...
Naruto decided to walk to the Hyuuga compound for two reasons: one, because it was probably bad etiquette to use the shunshin jutsu to reach someone's home, and two: because he wanted to approach the compound on foot to try and hear any "conspiracies."
Besides, I've GOT to wear in these clothes!
Naruto had found some sort of formal wear in a closet in some random bedroom. Admiring the quality of the outfit, Naruto quickly donned the navy-blue robe. After deciding that he looked like a samurai, he set out to see if he could glean any information.
He didn't, and arrived at the front door without excitement. Unsure of what to do, he spied a small button on the side of the gate. He reached out and pressed it, and immediately a chime sounded.
He stood around for a few seconds until a white-eyed child came running to the door. Naruto saw that it was a young girl, no more than eleven, and probably around Konohamaru's age. He smiled as she approached, causing her to blush profusely.
Must be Hinata-chan's sister. Naruto thought.
"Hi, I'm… Naruto! I'm here to pick up Hinata-chan; may I come in please?"
The girl smiled. "It's about time my sister got you on a date! I was wondering when she would penetrate that thick skull of yours. C'mon in!"
As she swung open the gate, she added, "My name's Hanabi!"
Naruto laughed. "It's my pleasure to meet you, Hanabi-chan! I'm sure we'll be good friends, but for now, could you show me in?"
Hanabi motioned Naruto to follow, and led him further into the Hyuuga house. Naruto was struck by how Feudal Japan-ish the architecture and décor was.
Must be tradition again… Naruto thought glumly.
Hanabi led him to a courtyard and motioned that Naruto should sit down. He did so, Indian-style.
"Hinata-nee-san will be here shortly. I think she's still getting ready." Hanabi giggled, then ran off into the house.
Well, she seems alight! Naruto thought happily as he sat in the courtyard, simply passing the time with a calm meditation he learned from Ero-sennin. Despite being a "super-pervert", the old man was far wiser than he had ever let on before Naruto's true apprenticeship.
While he was meditating, Naruto became aware of a certain tingly sensation in his eyes, right above them in his head. Annoyed, he stomped out the feeling and it subsided, but he could still sense it just beyond his perceptions.
After a few minutes, he became aware of another presence. It was a chakra signature he had never felt before, one that commanded respect. Naruto opened his eyes and rose, only to be greeted by the stern face of the head of the Hyuuga house. Naruto stared at the tall man for a few moments before giving a slight bow of respect.
"Arigato, Hiashi-sama, for allowing me to enter your home."
As Naruto unbended, he swore he saw astonishment flash across the man's face before fading away into impassivity.
"You are welcome… Uzumaki Naruto."
Naruto glared. "You speak my clan's name as though you were familiar with it."
Hiashi returned the glare with equal severity. "I have know your clan since I was a small child; is it not normal that I be acquainted with the name of a noble clan of Konoha, being the head of one myself?"
Naruto nodded, grimacing. "Yes… it makes perfect sense."
"Indeed…" Hiashi muttered. Unconsciously the two men began to circle each other, stopping when they had switched positions.
Suddenly, Hiashi laughed. He laughed long and hard, clutching his stomach and wiping away tears. When he had finished, he smiled at Naruto, who was shocked to see genuine kindness in Hiashi's eyes.
"Forgive me, Naruto-san, but you are more like your father than I could have possibly imagined," Hiashi explained. "I apologize for my little game, but I had to see if you were as determined as they say you are for myself."
Naruto smiled. "No problem, Hiashi-sama. Though I have to admit, I thought I was going to have to fight my way through here to get Hinata-chan!"
Hiashi chuckled. "Yes, well there is that matter. Neji told me that you had no intention of hurting Hinata, and would in fact defend her with your life. Is this true?"
Naruto thumped his chest. "On my word, upon which I never go back."
Hiashi smiled. "My eldest daughter has said the same thing, and she has always kept her word."
His smile became one of sadness as he walked closer to Naruto. Bending to his ear, he said, "You and I will speak when you return from your mission to the Sound country. There is much we need to discuss concerning the, ah… conspiracy you have uncovered."
Naruto nodded, then sensed another chakra signature enter the room. Realizing who it was, he leaned around Hiashi and let his jaw drop to the floor.
Hinata stood before him clad in a resplendent pale violet kimono. Her hair tumbled behind her head and gleamed blue; her pearly eyes shone with happiness.
"Hinata-chan, y-you look… you l-look amazing!" Naruto forced out, trying to shake off his astonishment.
C'mon, it's just Hinata-chan… right? Sure, she's beautiful all the time, but WOW! She's gorgeous! I mean… oh no….
Hinata smiled. "Arigato, Naruto-kun. Shall we get going?"
Naruto held up a hand. "Hold on a sec, Hinata-chan." He turned to face Hiashi.
"Hiashi-sama, are you alright with me taking your daughter out tonight?"
Hiashi had never been more shocked. Here was the loudest ninja in Konoha, keeper of Kyuubi, and possibly one of the most powerful shinobi ever, asking him with utmost respect if he could date his daughter!
"Of course, Naruto!" Hiashi smiled.
Naruto grinned in return, then extended his arm to Hinata-chan, who took it demurely. Ignoring the fact that Hinata's soft form was slightly pressed up against his own, and that he really enjoyed the intimacy, Naruto led Hinata out of the compound.
"Well, here we are!" Naruto said.
Hinata smiled. "Naruto, this is… this is amazing! How did you know that I like sushi?"
Naruto grinned. "That's my little secret. Now come on! We're only just gonna make the reservation!"
"Reservation… Naruto!"
But he had already led them to the seating hostess. "Hello ma'am, our reservation is under 'Tsunade'."
Hinata paled. "N-Naruto-kun, did you seriously-"
The seating hostess smiled. "Ah yes, Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuuga Hinata; step right this way please." And, grabbing a couple menus, she led them away.
Naruto almost had to drag the stunned Hinata behind them as they weaved through the tables. They ended up next to a window facing a starlit sky over the forest surrounding Konoha. Naruto thanked the hostess, then pulled out a chair for Hinata. Still dazed, she accepted the seat with a muttered 'arigato'. Naruto seated himself, then looked at Hinata, puzzled. He began to panic when Hinata remained in her dazed state.
"Ah, I'm sorry Hinata-chan! Did I do something wrong?" Naruto asked helplessly.
Hinata shook her head and snapped her hand out to grab one of Naruto's flailing appendages. She smiled as he calmed down, staring at her hand enclosing his.
"No, Naruto-kun, it's exactly the opposite. I'm just surprised, that's all! But then again, I should have expected to be surprised, neh?"
Naruto laughed. "Ha! You just wait!"
Inside, however, Naruto was anything but certain.
Dammit! Just how do I feel? I loved Sakura-chan for years! Why do I feel like this around Hinata-chan? I never did around Sakura-chan! What the HELL! This is just a date… right? I sure went to a lot of trouble, though, for just one date….
Naruto was interrupted in his musings by a waiter who had approached his table.
"Good evening, Naruto-sama, Hyuuga-sama, it is our pleasure to-"
Naruto interrupted him with an upraised hand. "Hold it right there. Do you treat all your customers this way? As if they were a noble clan?"
The waiter looked puzzled. "But of course, Naruto-sama. All of our guests here are treated with the utmost respect. Your grandfather saw to that years ago! Now, what may I get you two to drink?"
Naruto's hand was once again taken by Hinata's and placed gently on the table. "Just two waters for now, please. Thank you," Hinata said quietly. She turned to Naruto, and was concerned to see tears forming in eyes. She calmed somewhat when she noticed his smile, but still asked, "Naruto-kun, why are you crying?"
Naruto laughed helplessly and wiped his eyes.
"Because I'm happy! I just found out that my clan was… well, nice! I'm just glad my ancestors weren't jerks or anything…."
Hinata laughed. "So what did you do this morning? Where did that sword come from that you had this morning?"
Naruto smiled and related the story of how he had met Busho the weapons dealer, and about their conversation. After they ordered their sushi rolls, Naruto then explained why Tenten was training him, and just what. As their dinner arrived, their conversation turned to lighter matters, such as the state of Konoha, what had happened since Naruto had been gone. Throughout the night, Naruto was pleasantly surprised by Hinata. Gone was her quiet, timid demeanor. Sure, she was still a little quiet, but she had confidence and was not afraid to raise her voice. And she had a sharp wit! Naruto found that he enjoyed exchanging repartee with his…
Your what? C'mon kit, I'm DYING to hear this one!
Shut up, baka-kitsune!
After the meal had been eaten, Naruto loosed a soft burb of contentedness. Overriding Hinata's giggle with an 'excuse me', Naruto motioned over the waiter. After a few soft words, Naruto examined the check and paid the amount. He screwed his eyes upwards in thought, then laid the tip on the table and got up to stand behind Hinata's chair. He pulled it out as she rose, replacing the chair and offering her his arm, which she took once again.
As he led her out, he asked her as off-handedly as he could, "Hinata-chan, would you like to take a walk?"
Hinata nodded vigorously. "Yes! I mean… I'd love to, Naruto-kun."
Naruto chuckled, earning a light jab from Hinata, and led her into the only park in Konoha, though it was certainly large.
As they reached the gate encircling the forested area, a sharp pain lanced through Naruto's head, causing him to groan and lean against Hinata.
"OW!... Kami-sama, that was murder! What the hell is going on!" Naruto muttered vehemently.
"Naruto-kun, what happened?" Hinata asked worriedly. Naruto groaned, clenching his eyelids shut.
"It's my forehead! It keeps hurting, and it's been doing it all night! I can't stand it! Could you take a look at it with your byakugan?"
"Of course, Naruto-kun. Here, sit down." And she led him to a bench, helping him ease into it. She knelt in front of him and activated her bloodline. She gasped as she focused in on his eyes, then released her all-seeing eye.
"Naruto-kun? Can you open your eyes?"
"I… I think so. Why?" Naruto asked, as he opened her eyes.
Hinata had always thought Naruto's eyes were the most beautiful in Konoha. They were a dark cerulean blue, and they shone with happiness and sadness and all sorts of emotions.
Hinata was blown away by what she saw.
Instead of Naruto's normal blue eyes, they had become something entirely different. The whites of his eyes had become a metallic blue, and his irises had melded into them, so it appeared as if his pupil was a lone black dot in a vast, silvery sea. Dumbfounded, Hinata watched as his pupils enlarged, then began to change color rapidly, from red to blue to green to black and back again. When they finished, Hinata saw that they had become the color of purest silver. She reached for her weapons pouch to pull out a kunai to show Naruto, then cursed softly as she realized she had left it at home. She activated her byakugan once more. After noticing that chakra had built up behind Naruto's eyes, she glanced around until she spotted a small lake.
"Naruto-kun, come with me and close your eyes. There's something I want to show you."
Naruto complied, rising. Hinata took his arm in hers and led him over to the lake. After checking that she could see her own face in it, she turned to Naruto.
"Open your eyes; we're next to a lake. Look at your reflection and tell me what you see."
Naruto opened his eyes. Hinata noticed that while the silver and blue colors in them shone with a metallic gleam, they did not give off light of their own. She watched as Naruto blinked, then leaned over into the lake.
He gasped. "Hinata-chan, what… what happened to my eyes? There all blue! And silvery! And my pupil, it's… it's silver!"
Hinata turned Naruto to face her. "Naruto, I think… I think that's your kekkai genkai! You have a doujutsu just like the Hyuuga and the Uchiha!"
Naruto looked at Hinata for a few moments, then began to panic. "Ummmm…Hinata-chan? How do I turn it off?"
Hinata laughed. "I'm not sure! But I noticed when I looked at you with byakugan that there was some chakra stored just behind your eyes. Can you sense it?" When Naruto nodded, she said. "Okay, now gently pull on that chakra."
Naruto tried, and Hinata saw that his eyes had changed back to normal. "You did it, Naruto-kun!"
Naruto laughed, picking up Hinata-chan by the waist and spinning her around. "I did it! Woohoo! I have an Uzumaki kekkai genkai! YATTA!"
Hinata laughed as Naruto spun around. She eeped as she was suddenly returned to the earth by a blushing, grinning Naruto, who looked more like a fox than ever before.
Hinata realized that she had passed over her crush for the loudmouth long ago. No, she loved the blonde shinobi. She wanted to support him and be there for him. She wanted to make him laugh and be happy. She loved him, but she was sad because she knew in her heart that she would never have Naruto. She decided right then and there that if she could not have him, then she would have a good friend nonetheless. No one could ever have too many good friends.
She returned to the world of the living to see Naruto still standing as he was before.
"Sorry, Hinata-chan, I-"
She stopped him. "No, it's okay Naruto-kun! That was fun!" she said laughing. "I'm happy for you, Naruto-kun," she added with a smile.
As Naruto's heart leapt in his chest yet again, he became aware of that curious feeling. It felt as though his heart was being constricted and his chest was clenching. He didn't like it at all.
Oh, Kami-sama, what do I do? How do I feel-
And then it hit him like a ton of bricks. He liked Hinata-chan, more than he would ever "love" Sakura-chan. He could be himself. He enjoyed her company immensely, and she could make him feel better with a simple, beautiful smile. He could make her laugh, and he could make her happy. More so, he wanted to make her happy. He couldn't stand the thought of her being sad.
Naruto realized that Hinata liked him immensely, something that everyone knew but him until he returned to Konoha. I need to make up for lost time, he thought. All those years, and I never knew. Time for something bold!
And with that thought, he grabbed Hinata's arm and led her gently back to the bench they had found. As Hinata sat down puzzled, she giggled.
"What?" Asked Naruto, puzzled himself.
"Your eyes!" Hinata laughed. "They've activated again!"
Naruto muttered and tried to pull back his chakra. When Hinata nodded that they had receded again, Naruto sat down. He ran a hand through his pulled-back hair and sighed.
"Hinata-chan, I need to tell you something."
Hinata paled. This is it, she thought. This is where he tells me I agreed to dinner so that I could tell you 'Let's just be friends'.
Naruto inhaled deeply. "Hinata-chan, at first I agreed to take you out this evening so that I could spend some time with you as a friend, and leave company as friends."
Hinata looked down her fears confirmed. Then she realized something.
"At… at first?" She asked, confused.
Naruto nodded. "Yeah. But… but as the evening went on, I realized that I put more work into it than I thought! And we had so much fun together! Laughing, talking, having a good time… I really liked it, Hinata-chan."
Hinata looked up, hope gleaming in her eyes.
Naruto thought then and there that she was more beautiful than he had ever thought, besides her looks, which were stunning. No respect, having to earn everything. Loyal and honest, smart and funny… Naruto wanted to kick himself for not noticing before.
"And I had been so confused as to what I felt! Hinata-chan, I'm pretty smart, modesty aside, but I'm pretty stupid when it comes to stuff like feelings. I had no idea what it was that I felt! But I think I know now."
He took Hinata's hand tentatively. "Hinata-chan… I think… I think I'm falling in love with you."
Hinata paled. Tears formed. I knew I fell asleep as I was getting ready! I knew it was all just a dream! I'm gonna wake up to Hanabi-nee-chan saying, 'he's here!', and I'm gonna realize that we haven't even gone out yet, and then-
"Hinata-chan? Oh dammit, I knew you didn't feel the same! Why couldn't I have kept my big mouth…"
The rest of his lamentation was cut short as Hinata reached out with her other hand to take Naruto's. She squeezed it gently, then reached up to cup his face.
"I know this is a dream, but I can't help myself. I've been waiting to hear this for ten years, and I just can't help myself." Hinata said softly. She took Naruto's hand again, noticing that Naruto was smiling like a fool.
"Naruto-kun, why are you-OW!" Hinata yelped as Naruto pinched her stomach. "What was that for?"
Naruto continued to smile. "To show that you weren't dreaming, Hinata-chan. Now, let's try this again."
He cleared his throat. "Hinata-chan, I'm falling in love with you," he said softly. "And I'm sorry I didn't realize it sooner."
Hinata stared at Naruto for a moment, the pain from his pinch subsiding. With a gasp, she launched herself towards Naruto. With a yelp he caught her.
"Hinata, are you crying?" Naruto asked. However, when the pale girl pulled back to look him in the eye, he saw that she was laughing.
"No, Naruto-kun. I'm laughing! I'm laughing because I'm happy!" And she buried her face in his chest.
"I'm happy because I feel the same way, Naruto-kun. I feel the same way."
Naruto smiled as he brought his arms around to hold Hinata closer to him.
I hope you're seeing this, Dad. You too, Mom! I won't ever let her go, just like you two! I promise!
Naruto started at something, then realized that Hinata had almost fallen asleep. He pushed her away slightly.
"Hinata-chan, I need to get you home before your father throws a fit."
"Ah, to hell with the old fart, I'm sixteen," Hinata mumbled.
Naruto gasped. "Hinata-chan!"
Hinata laughed. "Gomen, you're right." And she got up. Naruto stood up as well, this time to offer his hand. Hinata smiled and intertwined her fingers with his, and they set off, leaning on each other.
When they got to Hinata's house, she turned to face him.
"Arigato, Naruto-kun. I had a wonderful time. But…what to you want to tell people? About… about us?"
Naruto grinned. "I'll tell them that the most beautiful girl in Konoha has agreed to be my girlfriend! How's that?"
Hinata laughed, then hugged her new boyfriend. "You're amazing Naruto-kun. Good night, and see you tomorrow!"
As she turned to leave, she was stopped by a hand on her arm. The hand turned her around, and Naruto kissed her, softly. Shocked, Hinata kissed him back, but Naruto pulled away. Dammit, too quickly! Hinata thought, then blushed at the thought.
"Good night, Hinata-chan. If I am amazing, then know that it is all for you. See ya tomorrow! And don't think this means easier training!"
Hinata laughed as she walked inside. Naruto watched until she was safely inside, then turned to walk back to his new house, whistling a tune.
As he reached his door, he thought of something that made his blood run cold and the hair on his neck stand up. He brought his hand up to his head and slapped it.
"Oh crap… Sakura-chan…"
A few blocks away, Sakura sneezed in her sleep.
Well, there's my fluff! Next chapter might not me as long, but it'll be good! I hope!
Now that my pairing is out of the closet, I wonder just how many readers I'll lose? Oh well.
The sword forms I'll be using are ripped directly from KotOR II, though I will me modifying most of them. I do NOT own KotOR II, or Naruto; I DO own this story! YAY!
R&R, my friends! I eagerly await your criticisms, comments, and flames about how this should have been NaruSaku/Harem/whatever!
(Just kidding. Please review:-)
