How can I tell you? - Chapter 21
The Reason
------------------
Shikamaru rolled his eyes.... why did life drag him into this? Oh yeah... he tried sneaking out... and Ino pinched his ear back backstage...
"Moouuuuuuu! Zettai Mendokusee....!"
Sasuke looked at shikamaru with a raised eyebrow.
"so your 'sneak away' plan failed huh?"
Shikamaru crossed his arms.
"whatever... cant get away... women are so troublesome... I cant sing..."
"oh? you cant?"
"like you can?"
"I can... but its too embarrassing!!!" Sasuke complained... if there was anything he hated to do was to sing... more he hated it when it was supposed to be in public.
Naruto came in with a smile on his face...
"hey! hey! what are you two talking about...?"
"how stupid it is to sing in front of so many people... that's what we're talking about...dobe..."
Naruto laughed.
"heh... at least im not a scardy cat... im not backing out of my word that i'll help hinata with that tab..."
Shikamaru laughed.
"hahahaha... youre really into Hinata are ya?"
"eh?"
Shikamaru looked at Sasuke... seems obvious Naruto hasnt told hinata how he feels yet...
"you havent told her yet have you?" Sasuke asked
Naruto blushed...
"so what if i havent yet? Like I said before im going to tell her... but I dont think this would be a good time for that!"
"and why not?"
A lady came into their room.
"boys... youre next... follow me please..."
Shikamaru and Sasuke looked at naruto...
"Told ya it wouldnt be a good time..."
--------
The three walked out to the stage... finding themselves in front of many people...
Naruto gulped.
"eh... shika..."
Shikamaru looked at naruto, seeing Naruto was just as nervous as him and sasuke.
"e-eh?"
"H-how many are they?"
"the audience?"
"uh huh..."
"about 5000 people... including our teams that is..."
Shikamaru and Naruto gulped, they were sort of thankful the emcee was talkative so it gave them time to calm down.
---------------
Ino jumped up and down in excitement.
"oh my gosh! I cant wait to hear Shikamaru sing!"
Hinata sweatdropped.
"heh... Ino-chan... calm down... the song's going to start very soon..."
Temari Smiled and listened carefully. Then the music had started to play.
"Hey! Its starting! hush!"
'You can do it Guys... For her!"
----------
all : I'm not a perfect person
Shikamaru :There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
All :I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
Sasuke : I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why i need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]
Naruto : I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
All : I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
Sasuke :I've found a reason to show
Naruto :A side of me you didn't know
Shikamaru :A reason for all that I do
All : And the reason is you
-----------------------------
After the show... The boys won first place... they have the 3 million yen... with also a little extra!
Ino Threw herself at Shikamaru... She never knew Shikamaru could sing so nicely despite the obvious Nervousness in his voice.
"Shika-kuuuun! You did great back there!"
Shikamaru just blushed and looked away.
"It was so troublesome...."
Temari smiled at Shikamaru
"but you really did do great there Shikamaru!"
"Mendokuseee! Zettai Mendokusee!"
------
While Shikamaru was keeping humble to the two girls who were throwing praises at him... Naruto led Hinata To a Tree near the River... There were no fireflies anywhere yet... But naruto decieded to tell Hinata everything... it's Now or Never.
Naruto sat down on the cool night grass with Hinata next to Him.
"Hinata...?"
"what Is it Naruto-kun?"
Naruto gulped... oh well... This is it... He stood up and knelt down before Hinata, Trying the best he can to make a good impression.
"um.... I got to tell you something... now that we're alone... I guess..."
Hinata looked at naruto confused.
"what Is it Naruto? you can tell me anything..."
Naruto stood up and walked towards the river.
"Do you know who I sang that song for?"
"no..."
"I sang that song to someone I didnt notice long ago..."
Hinata got really confused... It seems that She doesnt get what naruto is trying to convey to her.
"what do you mean Naruto?"
Naruto looked at hinata, and smiled at her appearance... She really did look awesome in the Kimono she wore.
"You know... I thought long ago... way back when we were 12... like I told you before... I thought you were weird..."
Hinata smiled.
"I remember that Naruto.. I remember that very well..."
"yeah.... Before I just said I Liked you..." Naruto said as he held hinata's hands.
Hinata Blushed. (OMG! THIS IS IT FOLKS! XD )
"..."
'there's no turning back now... you can do it!' Naruto said to himself inside his head.
"..B-But...now...."
"...I-I... Think..... I-I Th-think....."
Naruto took a deep breath...
".... I Think I already love you Hinata..."
Hinata's mind went blank.... as she thought in her head that this was all a dream.
"Hinata... this is not a dream... I love you with all my heart..."
"...Naruto...I...."
Naruto let go of Hinata's hands.
"...Its okay if you love someone else Hinata... I understand..." He said as he turned around and started walking.
"Naruto... I Love you too! I wanted to say this to you for so many years!"
Naruto couldnt believe what he heard... Hinata loved him too! He whacked Himself mentally for being so clueless... Most probrobly everyobody noticed that She loved him long ago, but he was too dense to even notice!
Naruto faced Hinata, seeing her in some tears.
"Hinata...."
"I love you naruto... I dont care if you are the bearer of the demon fox! I love you and-"
Hinata was cut off when she felt Naruto hugging her tight...
"Hinata... "
"Naruto-kun..."
Naruto smiled at Hinata and wiped the tears of her pearl-colored eyes.
"Dont cry Hinata.... Im here... No one's going to tear us apart..."
"N-Naruto..."
"I wouldnt say that Naruto-kun..." A famillar voice sounded.
Naruto felt a strong evil chakra along with the voice.
"Orochimaru!?"
Orochimaru appeared before Hinata and Naruto. Naruto defended hinata by going in front with his back to her in defence position.
"What Do you want!?!"
"you dont recodnize me..?"
"I only saw you 4 years ago!"
Orochimaru laughed.
"I applaud your wonderful sense of humor Uzumaki Naruto... but still..."
Orochimaru put his hand on his face, and when he took it away... it looked like...
"TENMA-KUN!?!" Hinata shouted out. She couldnt beleive the calm Tenma would just be a disguise for the most wanted Ninja in all of China.
"Yes... good thing someone recognises me..."
Orochimaru dissapeared. Naruto went on full alert.
"what the hell are you planning?!"
"simple..."
The ground shook and Hinata yelped for help when the ground she was in suddenly rose.
"Hinata!!!!!"
Naruto centered his Chakra on the soles of his feet and jumped up high... He reached hinata and held her hand.
Hinata began to cry.
"Naruto-kun!"
"Hinata! Im here...Dont-"
Naruto was cut short when a snake appeared below him and pulled him down, Naruto had let go of Hinata's hand so that she'll not go down with him.
"Hinata-chan!"
"Naruto!!!!!!"
