Life can finally return to normal…. I don't think that I'll be using my powers any time soon, well unless you count giving Hinata joy rides, she doesn't seem to mind the fact that I can run faster than the average man. Hell, even when I'm jumping from building to building, she doesn't seem to mind, in fact she enjoys it. Now, makes me wonder how Kurama is going to deal with seeing his wife's reincarnation…
The stars of the night are my tears
Goddess of the moon and Angel of the stars,
Please stop the time tonight
It had been a beautiful day; the girls had wanted to go out to do some karaoke. And, of course the boys had agreed to it. After all, it had been a week since they returned from the demon world and they deserved to let loose and enjoy themselves. Plus, it was also a special day for Kurama. Who knew that he could change his shape! Right now he looked like he was eighteen!
And, who would have thought that his wife would have the memories from her past life… Or, he should say 'lives' since she had been reborn a few times… searching for her Kurama.
It had been quite a day when they decided to meet up with Hana… of course; the girls had to do that. And of course, Naruto had to get Kurama to try to make himself look younger since it was a bit of a crime for a full grown man to date a teenager… Kurama, of course had just told them that it was no problem that he could easily change his age. That part was easy; it was now just trying to get him to act like a modern teen that was the tough part.
Looking up on the stage, Naruto and Sasuke stared at their girlfriends as they sang and danced. Just enjoying themselves after having to go through what they've been through… Naruto was just happy that Hinata was enjoying herself again, that she wasn't letting her experience in the demon world control her or keep her in fear.
Just a little is fine Please show me your figure
I can see the number one star as feet draw ever nearer
Sakura was wearing a pink sun dress with matching pink leg warmers since it was a little chilly outside today. Her hair was pulled back with a ribbon like it normally was when she was on stage, to help keep herself from sweating so much with the lights shining on her for too long. Around Sakura's neck was one of Sasuke's many necklaces, the one with the red and white fan, it was his favorite, and a sure sign that they were official this time.
Though, his eyes were mostly on Hinata…
Today, she wore a purple sweat shirt though; it was styled the same as his. Short shelved like a t-shirt, but on the chest were branches with blooming cherry blossoms on it. A simple design yes, but it was nice. For pants, she wore boot leg jeans with blue swirls around the left leg, and red swirls heading toward the blue swirls on her right leg. Then, there were her sneakers, which of course were white with lavender stripes. But what made her outfit amazing, was the necklace with the Uzumaki crest on it hanging around her neck, and the flower clip in her hair.
Naruto just smiled at the thought of him and Hinata walking home together tonight. It would be nice to be walking home with the woman he loved deeply.
Being able to meet you when the moonbeams shine,
Is just showing me a faint dream,
Because the morning has already become a phantom
Though I understand this, I still feel lonely
Naruto sighed softly in content; life sure was amazing that was for sure. Least, now it was… the young man knew that his life would still be a little complicated with him having powers and all, plus those who would want to try to steal his powers. But, so long as his heart was filled with love, he would know that nothing would stop him, nothing would have him consumed with evil or hatred ever again.
That was a promise that he was going to keep. And he was going to make sure that he did… Taking a deep breath, Naruto grabbed his drink and took a sip as he let out a soft sigh of content. There was nothing that was going to stop him from him from enjoying life that was for sure.
The stars of the night are my tears
I pile on you and attack your hot lips
It's alright, don't say anymore We've already become one
But then the morning comes
Goddess of the moon and Angel of the stars,
I pray to you-please stop the time
Looking up on the stage, Naruto just smiled gently and sighed dreamily… who would have thought that after all these years of being in love with her that she would end up being his girlfriend! Life was sweet! Grinning from ear to ear, the young man looked over his shoulder and stared at the now dancing couple that was Hana and Kurama. Kurama took on the style of a black leather jacket, and a red muscle shirt with black jeans and black leather boots. Maybe he was going for the bad boy look, the only other thing different about him was his eyes; he didn't want people to think he was weird so he changed his eyes to green, his hair of course was still very long and red like usual.
Who would have thought though that Kurama would have adjusted a little bit already in only a week. Running a hand through his hair, the young man smiled a bit as he laid his head on the table as he dreamt of his future with Hinata… Life sure was going to be sweet.
Two people under starlight are always engulfed in their shine
Feeling warmth, and, for only this time, we are tied together
Looking up, Naruto saw that Hinata and Sakura were having a good time just singing and dancing around up on the stage. Maybe their lives could be perfect after all? His powers would be used to protect Hinata and any kind of future that they would be having. Lifting his head, Naruto turned to his friend as he asked "so Sasuke, what are you going to do when we're done here?" Sasuke just turned his head and yawned softly as he started to explain what they were going to do.
"Just gonna walk home with Hinata, maybe finally do it."
"Do it?"
"Yeah, what do you think do it is?"
"Lots of things."
Sasuke just smacked his forehead then wanted to smack Naruto. Rubbing his forehead, Sasuke leaned forward and whispered to what he meant to his blonde best friend. Though, after he was done explaining Naruto's face was bright red with what Sasuke had told him and just grinned as he said "you sly dog." He chuckled before drinking more of his cola and grinned all the more.
The stars of the night are my hearts drops
What should I do? This emotion is reaching you, right?
I'll give you my only cutting symbol
I want you all to myself
Goddess of the moon and Angel of the stars,
Please stop the time tonight
Sasuke just shook his head as he said "what about you Naruto." Naruto grinned some more before leaning back in his seat. Maybe the girls would be done soon so he and Hinata could go on home. Well, to his place since his parents have gone out for the weekend and Hinata of course was allowed to stay any time. And for that he was thankful.
The stars of the night are my tears
I pile on you and attack your hot lips
It's alright, don't say anymore We've already become one
But then the morning comes
Goddess of the moon and Angel of the stars,
I pray to you-please stop the time
Taking a deep breath, Naruto knew that he would now be able to spend some time together with Hinata… though, as they were just getting ready to leave he couldn't help but think back on what had happened this week.
It was the day after returning from the demon realm… the teens didn't know if they should do this but it was for Kurama's sake. He had to see if this was really his wife's reincarnation… Taking a deep breath, Naruto looked up at his ancestor as he said "so, you ready?" Kurama just nodded, he hadn't really changed much, and the only thing that had changed was his clothes. Otherwise, he still looked the same. Maybe it was because she only saw him like this, and not a teenager.
"You sure that this is Hana?" asked Kurama with a hint of worry in his voice.
"Don't worry Kurama; the girls are bringing her here. And this has to be Hana; she has everything you've described about her. Long white hair, emerald green eyes and the star shaped birthmark. It was the only thing that could connect them to Hana, so this had to be her right?
Ever since the girls had left though it seemed that Kurama was having second thoughts, maybe it was because to him, Hana had been forever lost to him for thousands of years… maybe even longer, or shorter. No one really knew how long it's really been, hell Hana could have been reborn a few times and they wouldn't have known it.
"Kurama, relax. Take a deep breath and you should be calm when you see her." Said Naruto with a smile and patting Kurama's back hoping that would at least calm him down.
"Naruto's right Kurama. If you're going to see Hana, you need to be calm simple as that okay?" calmly said Sasuke before crossing his arms, waiting for the girls to hurry up and get here. There had to be something that they could do while they waited… though, no matter what happened there just wasn't anything that they could do for the time being.
"Guys, we're here!" shouted Sakura causing the boys to look up. Standing there was Hinata, Sakura, and the girl from their class. Hana… Naruto did remember right, she had long silver hair, emerald green eyes… though he couldn't tell if she had the star shaped birthmark from here sadly, though he knew that she had it from when they were partnered up one year for science.
"Why did you girls bring me here?" asked Hana in confusion.
"Hana… do you know someone named Kurama?"
Hana's eyes widened for a moment before she looked away. "I knew someone of that name yes, he's the one I'm waiting for… but he doesn't seem to be coming." Naruto had a good feeling that this is really her. Looking up, he stared at Kurama, who just so happened to be staring at Hana with wide eyes. Looks like this had to be Hana, why else would he be staring at her like that, and his heart beating wildly in his chest.
"How do you know about Kurama?" asked Hana with confusion in her voice.
"Because… they helped me to find you Hana…" whispered Kurama as he walked forward with his head down and his eyes closed. Did Kurama still blame himself for what had happened all those years ago? He shouldn't, it wasn't his fault for what had happened.
"Kurama, is… is that really you?" Hana said in surprise and shock only to end up smiling. "Kurama, you finally came for me."
"Hana… how long have you been waiting for me?"
"Since the day I was taken from you. I waited in the spirit world; I was reborn and waited for you in the human world… but nothing. It was the same process; I was always reborn in the world, the location of someone like you but…" She gave a sad smile before looking up at the man she had known as her husband saying "I wanted to come back, to let you know that… that I'm not angry with you for what happened."
Lifting his head, and opening his eyes Kurama stared at Hana in shock. She wasn't mad at him at all? But why, she had every right to be angry with him and yet, she was just staring at him with her beautiful emerald green eyes and smiling at him.
Gulping, Kurama took a few steps toward Hana as he said "I'm sorry for making you wait. I had been locked away for a long time… if it wasn't for Naruto, I don't think I would have been freed." Hana just stared at him for a moment before turning to stare at Naruto in confusion. As if wondering how he was able to free Kurama in the first place. Maybe she didn't have her powers in this life… it would make sense.
Kurama chuckled as he said "Naruto is one of our descendants. He has my powers and was able to overcome the shadows in his heart… he was the first one and only one to not allow the darkness to destroy him."
Hana stared at Naruto for a moment before smiling. Kurama looked around for a moment before closing his eyes and shrinking down a bit, making himself look younger. Grinning, Kurama soon started to look like he was eighteen like Naruto and his friends. "I'm happy Hana… happy to have you back in my life once more." He whispered before pulling Hana into his arms and kissing her gently.
And that was only one thing that happened… it was when Naruto had brought Hinata home that had been the worst thing to have happened… least, it was with some of the misunderstandings…
After leaving the demon realm, Naruto had told the others that he would take Hinata home… he knew that she would need to get home right away or her parents would worry even more. Taking a deep breath, Naruto turned his head and saw that Hinata had fallen asleep on the ride home and smiled softly. Taking the cloak, he wrapped it around her before pulling Hinata on his back, having her arms over his shoulders and had her legs hanging at his sides with his arms under the knees.
Least… she was safe now. That was all that mattered right now and he was just happy to have her back. Now, all he had to do was bring her home and life would be great again. Least, it was now that he had confessed his feelings for Hinata. Sasuke had told him that he would take Kurama with him for now until they could find some kind of arrangement for Kurama…
Looking up at the sky, he saw that it was pretty dark… made him wonder how long they have been gone for… Shrugging, the young man started to keep walking after adjusting Hinata on his back. Too bad they didn't have anything for her to wear, well, least Sakura defiantly didn't.
Staring at the blue haired woman on his back, Naruto wondered if they really could be together… Kurama had lost his wife because the lord was a crazy ass bastard who wanted his power to rule the world. Sure, he's gone now but… would someone else try to take his place to get his power? No, maybe not… after all… there wasn't anyone to take his place so no one would come into power next. But, what else had confused him was… would he have a long life-span like Kurama or does he have a human life-span? It doesn't make sense and it isn't like he could ask since the other Kyuubi Phantom's hadn't lived long enough to prove that theory.
Sighing softly, the young man walked through the streets as he tried to get Hinata home. Maybe if he was lucky, they wouldn't ask how he found her, or why she was wearing a harem outfit.
Just thinking on what her father was going to say made him want to shake in fear. But right now, he would have to think of something for him to say without sounding like he was the one responsible for the whole thing. But in a way, he was responsible for it. Shaking his head, the young man started to walk up some stairs as he tried to think on how he was to ring the doorbell or… wait… Shaking his head, Naruto made one of his tails appear and started to grab a hold of the knocker that was on the door before making that tail disappear.
Okay, he had to remain calm… just had to stay calm when someone answered the door. Looking up, he saw the door opening causing the blonde haired teen to shake a bit, maybe from the chill of the night. Standing in the door was a tall man with slightly tanned skin, lavender coloured eyes like Hinata, long brown hair and wore some kind of robe, sort of kimono-like. Maybe this was his style of clothes when he gets home.
Taking a deep breath, Naruto calmly said "Hyuuga-san… I… um… I found your daughter." Naruto looked up and saw that the man's eyes were wide for a moment before telling Naruto to come on inside. Nodding, Naruto shifted Hinata on his back before walking on inside and followed the man, who he guessed was Hinata's father and walked up some stairs.
It seemed like Hinata had a very well decorated room though he didn't really pay attention to that. "So, where did you find my daughter?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you sir." Said Naruto with a sigh before gently setting Hinata on her bed. Though, sadly the cloak had shifted from the movement revealing the harem outfit.
"You defiled my daughter didn't you!" shouted the man as he grabbed Naruto's shirt and shook him. Naruto screamed and tried to explain that it wasn't him that dressed her like that! But it seemed that her father didn't want to listen to him. Naruto kept on screaming and trying to break free.
"Father!" shouted a voice.
Hinata's father stopped shaking Naruto who just looked around with spinning eyes as he tried to calm himself down from all of the had happened. "Hinata, I was just about to throw out this boy for putting you in those clothes."
"He didn't put me in these! My captors did! Naruto saved me father, he risked his own life to save mine."
"But he said he didn't know where you were."
"Because they bribed him not too… they said that if he told anyone where I was… then they'd hurt me." Hinata whispered, still lying on the bed. Her body was sore and tired from everything that had happened. Naruto was happy that Hinata explained everything that happened. Least now he could go on home and just go to sleep…
"Naruto what are you thinking about?" asked Hinata from the walk home.
"Just thinking of the things that happened when we got home. Like me, bringing you home and Kurama being reunited with Hana." He said with a smile.
Naruto knew that Hinata was still a little frightened about what had happened while in the demon world. But, at least she wasn't so scared about everything like with men… okay, she was still scared of men though not of him since he saved her. Taking a deep breath, the young man looked at Hinata and pulled her close to his side. "Hinata, I love you so much." Whispered Naruto.
"I love you too Naruto." Hinata said with a smile.
Yup, to him life was perfect… though, it would be better when he finally share their first kiss. Taking a deep breath, Naruto pulled the blue haired woman close and kissed her gently. Hinata of course, had kissed him back; something that he's always dreamed of having and knew… just knew that this was going to be an amazing day and life for him so long as Hinata was by his side.
Though, right now there was one thing that he wanted to ask. Grinning, Naruto said "still have that harem outfit?" Hinata just blushed crimson which of course had caused Naruto to burst out laughing. Hinata blushed at the most simplest of things.
"Naruto!"
"What? I kinda got used to seeing you in that outfit… only I get to see you in those clothes." Naruto said with a smile before chuckling… life was definitely perfect now…
The End
