Deferred Memories- Hinata's story
Beside Hinata's bed rest many framed photos. She has photos of her family, of herself, and a few of Naruto. But she had, though, lost all her photographs of team 8.
Hinata doesn't have a clue what happened them. She dimly remembers that she had one in the pocket of her old jacket, but it seems to have disappeared. Maybe she lost it when she felt Naruto's warm lips press against hers. Maybe she dropped it and the snapshot was torn apart when she saw Kiba's hurt expression, and his grief-filled eyes. Maybe it was misplaced the day she finally worked up enough courage to visit his grave. Whatever the reason, there are no photos of team 8 together.
Hinata would feel guilty; because she had been irresponsible and now, there was no way they could ever take another photo again. Hinata would feel regret, but she thinks, 'Life is too short for regrets and anyways, they're just photos.' She extends her arm and lets Naruto lead her to the dance floor.
After all, they're just memories, and memories aren't important because you can always make more, right?
The second of four stories. Hinata is OOC a bit, but that's what makes the story work. It's how Hinata changed from being the gentle, sweet, overly shy genin to what she is now. Next, Shino.
Review as always! Thanks to kawaiii and dittogrrl for reviewing.
