First Kiss--Chapter 23
"Save me from what I am. As I am you."
AN: UPDATE! Wooh. Nice big juicy update here. Congrats to the Naruto section of for getting 5000 stories. (Well it's soon so better celibrate now.)
Mr. Tao woke up, in a white room, nothing but white, it caused him to squint. He looked around, and saw Kakashi, sleeping, beside him in another hospital bed. He stood up, groaning. Mr. Tao found where the immense light was coming from, and he walked up to the window, putting his hand up to shield his eyes.
The village was below him, the many buildings and shops, the smoke coming from all the buildings that made the village alive. It reminded him of his own, and then it reminded him of how far away he was from his own. Mr. Tao walked into the hall, where Hinata and Naruto were sleeping on a bench next to it.
Naruto had his head in Hinata's lap, laying cross wise on the bench while Hinata had dosed off while sitting upwards. Aya was in a bench across the hall, sleeping the same way Naruto was, but without a lap to rest her head in. He walked over to her and bent down to her level, and said, "Aya. . ."
Her eyes opened, and she jumped back. "Ah!" This caused Naruto to jump up as well. ". . .you're alive!" she said. Mr. Tao smiled.
"Mr. Tao. . .happy to see you made it through, the doctor said that your wounds weren't as serious as we first thought they were," said Naruto, Hinata started to yawn as she woke up. "Well, now that you are awake, we can leave." He stood up and streched.
"Leave? What about Kakashi?" said Aya. Naruto looked at her, then said--
"Kakashi will be staying here, he almost died when him and Mr. Tao fought, meaning he will be here for a while."
"Wait," said Mr. Tao. "What day is it?"
"It's been three days since your fight, so it's Friday."
"Okay. . .but you've been in the same place for three days, haven't the Anbu attacked yet?" Naruto looked at him with a serious face and then lifted up his right sleeve, a long gash, still a little bloody, sat there.
"They've attacked four times already. That's why we have to leave." Mr. Tao studied the wound and then sighed as he started to walk down the hall, everyone else followed him.
"Naruto," said Mr. Tao, they were now walking down a path, woods to the right and a long, green field to the left. Hinata and Aya were off talking about their own things, while Naruto and Mr. Tao were at the front. It had been half a day since they had left, and it was nearing nightfall. "How come you were sleeping today, near my room, when you said the Anbu were still attacking you guys? Isn't that stupidity?"
"Well, Mr. Tao, today Aida finally opted to protect us while you were out. Sasuke. . .Mr. Taguchi must've sent someone, I dont know. They just had a ninja say to us that they would fight the Anbu who were coming, and we said okay, since we really didnt have a choice you know. It had been two days without sleep, plus fighting everyday, so we needed it. Infact, we only got about three hours of sleep before you woke up. . ." he yawned. "You probably have noticed."
"Well. . .it's getting close to dark. . .where do you want to set up camp for the night?", he said it loud enough for the girls to hear.
"Not now, we still have at least half an hour of sunlight left," said Aya. "It's gonna be a warm night anyways, so we could walk in the night if the moon stays full."
"Last night the moon was full," said Naruto. "Means tonight it'll be about three quarters full. . .so yeah I think we could make it in the dark."
"Don't you have to sleep?" said Mr. Tao.
"Sleep is for wussies," Naruto laughed as he tried to make a smile. "How far do you think that we have left? Including today?"
"To get to Sachi? I don't know really, but it should be one day till our next pitstop. The village of Fuu is up next, and after that it was only about three days, so about four I'm guessing." Mr. Tao sighed as he looked at the sunset, orange and red filled the skies.
"Naruto?" said Hinata, behind him. He stopped for a second to join her in the back, Aya walked up to the front, smiling at Naruto as she passed by. Her and Mr. Tao started to talk.
"Yeah?" he said. Hinata looked to the field, sighing, then looking back down to the ground. Her head lifted to Naruto's face.
"Never. . .mind. . ."
"Well. . .about the other day. . .before we got to Aida. . ." he looked up at the sky. "You remember. . ."
"Yeah. . "
"I've been meaning to tell you. . .I'm ready. . ."
"Ready for what?"
"Ready to spend the rest of my life with you. . .Hinata. . .I may have not shown it throughout the last couple of years, but I love you." He moved in and kissed her, and put his hands on her shoulders.
Aya and Mr. Tao kept walking, engaged in conversation, the two stopped talking and then Mr. Tao said, "Naruto! You mind keeping up with the group?" Naruto and Hinata broke the kiss, suprised and then looked at Mr. Tao and Aya.
"Uh. . .yeah. . ." Naruto smiled. "Come on," he said to Hinata. The two met up with Aya and Mr. Tao again and they walked into the night.
The morning came, and the group was now in a hotel, as they had reached Sachi during the night, Mr. Tao had miscalcuated. They bought two rooms, Naruto and Hinata in one, and Mr. Tao and Aya in another. Naruto slept, his nose on Hinata's neck, and his arms around her.
In the other room, Mr. Tao and Aya slept in almost the same position. Mr. Tao opened his eyes as he stared at Aya's neck. "Aya. . ." he whispered. She moaned as morning crept up on her as well, and Mr. Tao slowly got out of the bed. He walked into Naruto's room through the door that connected the two, and then said, "Naruto, Hinata, time to go."
Naruto flipped over and then moaned. "Already? God it's only like six o'clock."
"Well we've got a big day ahead of us. . .you are in Sachi." Naruto flew from his bed.
"What!?" the door opened, and everyone but Mr. Tao looked to see who it was. Sasuke stood in the doorway.
"You've finally arrived," he said.
AN: Before I finish this chapter up, I'd like to point out that it has been practically half a year since this story began, and I'd like to thank everyone who has reviewed, put me in their favorites list, author alert, and favorite stories list. That means a lot. I'd especially like to thank Wormkaizer for reviewing practically every chapter that this story has seen.
Till next time.
