This I Promise You

A/N: Here's another one-shot to keep this series of one-shots alive. It will be a Naruto/Hinata fic.

Hinata and Naruto were on a mission, a mission to retrieve a scroll from bandits. Naruto thought it would be a piece of cake, Hinata wasn't so sure at the beginning. Now, they were being bombarded by ninjas. They made many friends to help them along the way.

"Kaoru-chan!" Hinata yelled out tears streaming down her face. Her friend had fallen, for she was attacked by many kunai.

When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes

"Damn it!" Kaworu, her twin brother called out, "You ninjas will die!" he yelled out after one struck their katana through his stomach, "Damnit I'm not going to die so easily!" he yelled and threw five kunai and killing five ninjas.

And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies

"Who wants a piece of this!" he yelled, his eyes growing red, "You!" he screamed and threw a shuriken, "Die!"

"Kaworu!" Naruto yelled after finishing off five more ninjas using his kage bunshins. He flinched as blood splattered on his face.

"No…"

I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone

"Kit, are you asking for my chakra?"

"Yes fox, I want to finish these guys off before…before…" his eyes grew red.

"Okay kit, let's do this."

"Naruto-kun?" Hinata said shivering as she turned to see Naruto shaking also with an orange chakra over him.

"Ah!" she screamed as more ninjas attacked her.

"Stay away from Hinata-chan!"

The one you should call,
Was standing here all along…

He rushed towards them and destroyed them all. Panting heavily he stared at the blood on his hands and turned to see Hinata fallen on the floor. A pain struck in his heart as the rain began to fall on the battlefield.

"Naruto-k-kun," she whispered as he picked her up.

His red eyes disappeared and the blue, cerulean ones took over. He smiled slightly at her blushing face, "I'm glad you're not too hurt…"

She winced and smiled, "Yeah, same about you N-Naruto-k-kun…"

He let her stand up and she blushed even more when she fell over right into his arms.

He smiled his foxy grin, "I guess you're not ready to walk eh?"

"Er…" before she fully answered, Naruto picked her up again.

"I'll keep you safe in my arms okay?"


And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

Hinata nodded smiling as Naruto began jumping into the trees. She closed her eyes, placing her head closer to Naruto's chest listening to the beat of his heart.

"Hinata I was worried out there you know…"

"Kaoru and Kaworu died…" she said after, "I was worried about you too Naruto-kun…" she blushed again as he held her closer.

"I know, if that was you who died out there, I would have killed myself for not protecting you properly," he sighed, "We have to have a burial for those two."

"Yeah…" she closed her eyes listening to his heart beat again.

"You know Hinata, I have a little secret for you…" he said with a slight smile.

"What is it Naruto-kun?"

I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before

She looked at his face, he was smiling and content, no excited ness or sadness for the passing of their friends, it seemed he was thinking.

"You're a strong girl Hinata," he began still looking into the distance, "And I know you can fend for yourself."

"Thanks Naruto-kun," even while she lay in his arms she took her two index fingers and poked the two together.

"But I want to promise to myself and you that,' he looked down on her with a big smile, "To protect you, and most of all…"


And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore

Her eyes widened, was he to say what she had forever hope for him to say? Blushing even harder she braced herself.

"And most of all, I promise that no one will hurt you…" his eyes flared with anger, "That situation was close and we aren't even done this mission. I promise that nothing will happen to you okay?"

I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won

Hinata looked at him, "Okay Naruto-kun…Thank you…" her blush faded as she stared at his ripped clothing.

"Oh and one more thing…" he said as the rain fell harder.

"Yes?"

And with this vow,

"I love you."

Hinata turned tomato red at that very moment stuttering gibberish and he laughed lightly. Poking her fingers, she tried her best to stop the stuttering.

"Naruto-kun…I…I….I-I-I-I l-l-l-l-lo-ve y-y-you t-t-too…"

Forever has now begun...

Naruto blushed slightly as Hinata let out a sigh of relief. She let down her hands and snuggled closer to him, she had finally said the words that she's kept hidden inside her heart.

It all started as an admiration and soon grew to love, Naruto gave her a foxy grin and the rain stopped.

"Rest okay?"


Just close your eyes (close your eyes)
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you…
This I promise you…

She closed her eyes as he stopped on an empty campsite. Resting her on the ground he lay down right next to her. Grabbing her hand he faced her red face.

"Naruto-kun?"

"Hinata-chan…."


Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all...

They smiled at each other as night fell. Closing their eyes, Naruto got closer to Hinata and snuggled closer to her and wrapped his arms around her, "Good-night…"


And I will take (I will take you in my arms)
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you baby

The next day they had fully rested and had called some people from Kaoru and Kaworu's home country, the wave country to perform the burial.

Naruto and Hinata were dressed fully in black and Hinata held tightly to Naruto's arms.

"Hinata, I hope that something like this will never happen to you…Well at least not until I die."

"Naruto-kun…"

"Shhh …Let's just listen to the sermon," he sighed, "What a sad day…"

Later that day, the two were sitting under a tree, finally taking that scroll from the bandit. Resting it beside him, he pulled Hinata closer and she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Mission complete Hinata."

"Yeah, let's go home."

"Not yet, I want to sit here like this for a while…" he kissed her of the forehead, "Let's just sit here under this tree…"

She blushed slightly and closed her eyes.


Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you

"Oh and Hinata-chan," he said as she opened her eyes to face his.

"Yes Naruto-kun?"

"I haven't done this yet," he smiled and inched his face closer to hers. They were soon locked into a firm, passionate kiss.

"I love you Hinata-chan."

"I love you too Naruto-kun…"


Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you...

A/N: I hoped you liked that, I found it sweet! So till the next chapter of any of my stories!
