Author's notes: Hello! I am back with an update! Hope you guys and gals will enjoy this... cause I did... hahahaha

This would be shorter though... and Naruto might appear like a jerk... that is because..

I was in hiatus for so long, I've set this story aside... and now, I forgot the real reason why Naruto said what he said.. there was more to it than what I've written here.. but I can't really remember it no matter how hard I try to remember... I still hope, Naruto won't piss you off so much...

Anyway, Thank you for all the people who reads, reviews, follows and have put this story to their favorites! I can't thank you enough! And to those who put me to their favorites or follows me or both... thank you! Everyone, I love you so much!

Disclaimer: I'm just a simple teenager trying to make something that could mark this world that I existed... but I'm still not as half as good as Masashi Kishimoto.. so I don't anything, except the plot...


Chapter 54: Unraveling Truths Part 2

What?" Both Hinata and Sasuke asked.

"We weren't together. We never were." Naruto explained. Sasuke then sat on one of the chair and stared at nothing.

"Liar! I have seen you! You kissed her! The night before your coronation! You kissed her."

"No. I kissed him." The three of them looked at the door.

"Sakura..." Naruto said.

"I'm sorry..."

"So you knew I was there?" Hinata asked.

"No... I did not... believe me..." Sakura started.

"You knew how much I love Naruto... how could you?"

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." Sakura cried.

"What are you girls talking about?" Naruto asked.

Sakura wiped her tears away. "Remember that night before coronation? I kissed you even when I know Hinata loves you."

"Hinata loves me?" Naruto asked. Slowly, a smile crept up his face. "You love me Hinata?"

"Naruto..." Sakura called.

"I... I... I love you too, Hinata!" Naruto happily declared. Hinata shakes her head while staring right at Naruto's eyes

"You are the biggest jerk I have ever met. I cannot believe I ever cared about you. You do not deserve it."

"Hinata..."

"I've told you I love you. In Pain's battle I told you how important you are to me. But what did I receieve from you? Nothing."

"Hinata... I did not know you mean it."

"Hell! I even staked my life for you and you thought I did not mean it?"

"Okay.. I know you did mean it. I just don't know how to react. It was rare for me for someone to tell me they love me."

"That was what I thought so too. I also thought you were having a hard time deciding how to reject me without hurting me. I knew you loved Sakura. But then after Tobi's battle... you acted like I was the most important person to you. I thought... I thought you loved me... just like the way I loved you."

"You were right.. I just didn't know I love you... not until you left Konoha."

"Bullshit! I've heard you! That night before the coronation, don't tell me you forgot?"

"I..."

"Then let me refresh your memory. That night before your coronation, before even your coronation party, you met Sakura at the top of the Hokage's monument."

"Hinata, let me-" Sakura intervened.

"No, let me finish!" Hinata shouted, "You told Sakura you still love her. You told her she's the most precious person to you. I could understand that. I could have accepted that. But your next words... that' what pierced me."

Tears then started to fall from Naruto's eyes as the memories came back to him. "Hinata... I'm sorry... I didn't mean it."

"You remember now? You told Sakura I meant nothing to you. You told her I would never be anything but a good friend to you."

"Hinata... I'm sorry... back then I didn't know I had feelings for you..."

"But you knew I had feelings for you..."

"I thought you only loved me as a friend... believe me Hinata... when I told Sakura that you would never be more than a good friend... I felt something was wrong... it was my mistake I ignored it. It was my fault I was ignorant... it was my mistake I'm an idiot and make a lot of ruckus and misunderstanding...Hinata... Hinata please... forgive me..."

"Just let us go... there's nothing we can do about it now. You cannot mend it anymore..."

"No! I won't let you go... not until you believe everything I've told you..."

"Hinata... please... it's not Naruto's fault." Sakura intervened. "It was my fault... I'm so sorry."

"Yes, it's all your fault we're all miserable now Sakura. But you can't undo what you have done. Just tell Naruto to let Mirage go."

"I can't... I've seen how miserable Naruto is when you weren't here. I can't let that happen anymore..."

"Do you think imprisoning me here would make Naruto any happier?"

"If that's the only way-" Sasuke started.

"Bullshit! Let us go!"

"No... I won't let you go." Naruto declared while he shakes his head. "I won't let you go. I'll make up everything I've done wrong to you and I'll prove you I love you. You will stay here as long as you live."

Hinata stared at Naruto's eyes with pure hatred before muttering "That won't make me hate you less."

"If that will make you stay, then so be it." Naruto said before leaving, Sasuke and Sakura following him.

"Just let us go!" Hinata shouted while she tried to follow.

"Never." Naruto declared as he shut the door, leaving behind Hinata in her room.

"Sasuke, make sure she won't get her room. Guard every possible escape." Sasuke nodded before he left to follow Naruto's orders.

"Naruto... do you really think this is the right thing to do?"

"I don't know... I just know I can't stand living without Hinata anymore."

"But you know she won't be happy..."

"Hinata once have said that all she ever wanted was to stand next to me and be there with me. Fight alongside me and just to everything with me. But I was always a step ahead of her. I thought she would always be there behind me. I thought she would always follow me. But then, one day, I looked back and saw she wasn't behind me anymore. She wasn't anywhere near me anymore. I felt so scared and alone. It almost drove me crazy. That's when I realized I can't live without her. If she thought I was her pillar, I was her light; then she is that me. And I wouldn't ever make the same mistakes again, I wouldn't be a step ahead her again. I'll be there by her side, holding her so she won't ever get away from again. I will hold her tight and set my eyes on her so she won't ever run away from her. I would never lose her again." Naruto said as he sat outside Hinata's room.

Sakura cried, "I'm really sorry..."


A/N: Thank you for reading... review?

Wow! That was one heck of a line Naruto said... and all Sakura can say is sorry? LOL Well, there's not much to say anyway... and I'm sorry.. if you read this story and haven't got a pm from me... sometimes, I do pm the reviewers but sometimes, I felt I would just scare people away if I do that or become annoying or most of the times I just don't really know what to say... So everyone, just read the notes from above, okay? The one italicized and bold like this one...

I really hope you enjoy this... but I got to go now, I have to attend a debut in about 2 more hours and I still don't know what to wear... What am I supposed to wear in a Taylor Swift themed party? LOL I'm not really a party person.. this would be one of the rarest few I would go to... and they will make me sing.. LOL NO...

I'd be back with an update soon guys and gals... until then! :)
