I do NOT own Naruto! However I do own the plot and this applies to all of my chapters and stories.

Chapter 25-Fill In The Blanks
"Hinata…!!! Hinata…!!!" Sasuke screamed in his sleep for the countless time this week.
He tossed and turned, but this time he woke up to see the face of his best friend.
"It's been two months. Dude, you quit the damn basketball team!!!!" Naruto lectured him, "I'm not telling you to forget Hinata-chan, but to let her go."
"How can you even ask that of me? It was my fault!!!!!!!!! I didn't find her. I didn't even realize she was the girl, the girl who…The girl who gave me reason. A reason to live, a reason not to give up…"
"Sasuke, man c'mon do you honestly believe that?! You might not have remembered that it was her the first time, but you found out who she truly was. You had a great chance-which you took-you got to know her better than anyone else. She let you in, she trusted you. She wanted the best for you; even if it was at her expense she didn't care. Do you really think she would be happy that you're giving your life up?!!!!??"
"That's exactly why…why I was the only one who could stop her." Sasuke said.
Naruto was at his wits end. He couldn't take it anymore. If Sasuke wasn't going to listen to his words, his actions will have to do. So he punched Sasuke. He expected Sasuke to flip out, shoot him a glare, or fight him. But he did nothing. He sat at the position that Naruto had punched him. His hands lay relaxed on top of the disheveled comforter, warm from his body heat. Naruto just stood there his tall frame casting a shadow, from the bright, shining, full moon.
"I'm going back to sleep."
"What the hell is your problem?! I went here so you can take your mind off of Hinata's death. But all you did was sit there on your freakin bed sulking!!! You th-"
The rest of his sentence was interrupted by a loud, rhythmical knock coming from the front door. Sasuke went to get the door and he came face to face with a hot and flustered Neji.
"Uchiha!!!" Neji screamed, which in return received a blank stare from Sasuke. Then Neji handed Sasuke a box addressed: Uchiha Sasuke c/o Neji Hyuuga. (c/o: care of) Neji left as Sasuke took the rather small box from his possession. But Sasuke had no interest whatsoever and tossed it aside, then headed for his bed, only to be interrupted by a calmer Naruto.
"If Neji came over here just to deliver that package here it must be pretty important."
Sasuke rethought his decision and walked over to the package taking it to the bed. He sat and then took a scissor from the side table and ran it down the duct tape that bound the ends of the box. He tipped the box's open end toward his left hand and a bubble-wrapped, rectangular, object was revealed. He was-by now-quite interested in what was hidden beneath the translucent, air filled, plastic, wrapper. He slowly tore off the tape, and took off the bubble wrap slowly. It revealed a book. A small, leather bound book. Using his thumb, he flipped through the pages rapidly, and sadly it only revealed blank pages and empty hopes for Sasuke. Then a note fell out. He unfolded it to reveal a letter addressed to him.
Dear Sasuke,
Knowing you, you will not have gotten over the loss of my life; the loss of a friend. Neither will I, at least if I had been in your position. This was only supposed to be given to you a few months after my death. It's to help you move on. Let it out, Sasuke. Let me go. I will still be watching over you. I always will be. But live your life, and don't weep for the loss of mine you've suffered enough. It was the path that I chose. Choose your own path, Sasuke, I hope you carry on and prevail because I have left my heart with you. Live on for me, I'll be your strength, your courage, and your reason. Understand that I have never left you. The only thing that I left is the chains and ropes that bound me to the cursed fate I was destined for…
Sasuke didn't bother read the rest of the letter. He only muttered, "Bullshit."
On the Roof
Hinata was watching the sunset from her room's veranda. But she decided that she wanted to go to the roof. So she climbed up, but found someone had already been there.
"Gomenasai." Hinata said. ("Sorry." Hinata said.)
"Iie, Leiko-san." The masked boy said. "Daijoubu…" he said looking back to the setting sun.("No, Leiko-san." The masked boy said. "It's alright…" he said looking back to the setting sun.)
Hinata laid down on the warm roof and watch the setting sun.
"Ne, Leiko-san," The masked boy continued.(Say, Leiko-san." The masked boy continued.)
"Nani?" ("What?")
"Iie, nandemonai." (I apologize for my spelling I'm just doing it from pronunciation) ("No, nevermind")
They watched the sunset together sitting in comfortable silence. Once in a while a cool, salty, ocean breeze would pass but the sun kept them warm. Hinata let out a sigh. She didn't know why she was so greatly attracted to sunsets, but then again they were quite beautiful. Just the way that the shade would fluctuate, and then gradually dim subduing itself to the horizon was enough to entrance her. Also she admired how it took its time. As if it had all of the time in the world. Such a beautiful scene, yet it was quite farfetched for her. Her feet lay on the ground and remained there, her days were spent doing something time-consuming, and she treasured the limited days she gets the chance to do nothing but cherishing every moment. The sunset was soon over and she bid the masked boy a good night.
After that she took her place at the desk and verified her handprint and entered a code to get started on her most recent project, a new weapon for herself.
In his depressing room
Sasuke couldn't quite convince himself that Hinata meant him harm. So with the little will power he had left he read the rest of the letter:
…It was my only choice. My father called for my early return because of two things. A group called the Akatsuki is on the move, and I personally advise you-no beg of you to be careful. But the other has a rather superficial and pathetic reason; my father feared that his business will be hurt by my feelings for his rival's son. I was mad, no furious when I overheard him talking about that so that's how I made up my mind that death was the only way out. Please forgive me.
Love always and forevermore,
Hinata
"Holy shit…" Sasuke mumbled. "Naruto, come here."
"Okay," Naruto replied. Sasuke then handed him the letter and he was also quite stunned almost or maybe even more than Sasuke. "What the…"
They sat solemnly in silence, letting the other soak in all of the things that happened.
"Thanks, Naruto."
"Anytime…" Naruto mumbled.
In her room
Working under a lamp, Hinata painstakingly putting together piece by piece a gun, not an ordinary one though it charges the bullet with a high amount of voltage the moment the tip of the bullet comes out of the barrel. (I know absolutely nothing about guns soo forgive me…)
The salty air blew in, sending a chill down Hinata's back as she wiped a bead of sweat from her brow. She decided to call it a night. The curtains were blowing freely in the salty ocean air. Hinata closed the glass-paneled doors and let her thicker curtains down, which block out the sunlight during the morning.
She lay down on her bed and found a comfortable position, then she pulled up her comforter to her chin. As she got comfortable and fell into a deep sleep, a piece of torn, white, computer paper with a question on it was slid under her door.
"Why do you like sunsets?"
