Story Title: True Love.

Chapter 4: Missing You.

"Yuukie, why don't you take a hot bath? I think you'll need it." Hana (A/n: I'm tired of doing 'Yuukie's mother') suggested.

"Yes. I think I will."

Bathroom...

Yuukie twisted the tap and hot water poured in the bathtub. She opened the window slightly to let the steam out. She then stripped herself and stepped in.

"Mom was right... I should at least try to defend myself. But I'm not good in anything. I have no idea how to be a ninja, much less train like one."

Yuukie dunked her hair in the water allowing it to get wet. She took out some soap and rubber it against her body, forming lots of tiny bubbles.

"Bubbles... I miss you dad..."

"Yuukie then took out a bottle of lavender oil and poured a few drops in the water, so she smell would make her feel calm and relaxed. She then shampooed her hair, rinsed, got out of the bathtub and drained the water. She dried off and put on a robe. She passed the window and closed it. She heard a little 'eep' but ignored it. She walked over to medicine cabinet and took out her toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste and began to brush her teeth. She looked at the mirror and saw her own reflection looking back at her, but that was not all that she saw... She saw the window being open by a hand and she turned around.

A few minutes before...

"I wonder whose room is this? Itai!" Naruto said falling to the grass on his bottom, holding his nose. "Ow, that hurt! Who was that? Was that Yuukie-Chan? Is this her room?" Naruto opened the window and...

"Uh, oh." Uh oh was right. Naruto certainly came at the wrong place at the wrong time.

"N-Naruto-kun?" Yuukie stuttered.

"Hehe... Yuukie-Chan..." Naruto said nervously.

" Whatareyoudoinghere?" Was Yuukie's question. She certainly was tongue-tied. Her face was red, Naruto's too.

Yuukie ran to the window and quickly closed and locked it.

"Itai!" Naruto said again holding his nose while trying to ease the pain on his bottom for the second time of the day. (1)

She quickly ran out of the bathroom and went upstairs, straight to her bedroom. She checked her windows to see if they were securely locked. When she was satisfied with her observation, she dressed into her pajamas and combed her hair.

"Yuukie, dinner." Hana said as she knocked her bedroom door.

"Coming..."

At The Dinner Table...

"What's wrong? Your face is all red." Hana said looking to her daughter's face.

"Well... Uhh..." she didn't know what to say, should she tell her about the incident in the bathroom or not?

"Oh, I see." Hana said with a sly smile on her lips.

"Huh?" Yuukie said in utter bewilderment.

"You're thinking about Daisuke again aren't you?" She asked.

Yuukie's face reddened at her mother's words. Hana's face was full with amusement.

"You were?" she asked before letting a chuckle escaping from her lips.

"No. I wasn't." Yuukie tried desperately to avoid the subject.

"No? You haven't forgotten about him, have you?" One look from Yuukie's face answered her question. "No? That's good. I was hoping for him to be my son in law..."

"Mother please! Not this talk again!" Yuukie said hoping 'dying from embarrassment' was not a true fact.

"I'm just kidding! Though, it's been a long time since you wrote to him."

"Yes, it's been a while... Maybe I should, tonight."

Yuukie's room...

Yuukie opened her drawer and took out some stationery and a pen.

"Daisuke... I wonder what you're doing now? Are you missing me as much as I miss you right now? Do you still think and dream about me, like I do to you? I wish you were right her, right now with me. I just want to be by your side and hold your hand. Maybe even lay my head on your shoulders and hug you, just like in this picture. You and me, us, together. Just like the story I told you. I know... I've promised to visit you but as you know, I can't leave my mother and I don't think mother will be healthy enough for the long journey. Many have happened since you left. Daisuke... do you still... love me?"

Flashback...

"I'll miss you, Daisuke..." Yuukie said looking at the ground, trying to fight her tears.

"I will too. I'll write to you..." Daisuke said pulling the girl closer in the embrace.

"Promise me that you'll visit."

"I promise..." Yuukie said with tears flowing down her cheeks. When she promised, she had totally forgotten her mother's condition.

"Now, don't cry. Each teardrop will make a hole in my heart. So, you'd better not cry or I'll get hurt. You wouldn't want that do you?" Daisuke asked wiping the tears off her face with his thumb.

Yuukie shook her head as a response.

"Now, promise me that you won't cry?" Daisuke asked having an urge to cry as well.

"I promise, Daisuke..." she said before receiving a kiss on the cheek.

End of flashback...

"I shouldn't cry, if I miss him or not. I promised to Daisuke that I wouldn't cry. It was our promise..."

She wiped the tears off her face and began writing her letter to Daisuke.

Dear Daisuke,

How are things going on there? How are you? Konoha has changed since you left. I really do miss you. Do you miss me? I still think about you at day and dream about you at night. What about you? I almost cried remembering the day you left... but I remembered our promise... I didn't want to hurt you... I've met this person Daisuke, who sort of looks like you. I've always watched him from afar to remind me of you. I hope I didn't offend you in any way because I still love you Daisuke... I'll keep that ring forever... Enough about me how about you? Would you like to tell me something? I know that our letters are beginning to get lesser, unlike before. I'm not angry, how can I? I'm sure that we have other things to do that write to each other right? But I hope that we don't grow apart. Well... I guess that's it. I miss you Daisuke... I hope you write back soon.

Love,

Yuukie.

She read it two times just to make sure then she folded it in half and placed it inside an envelope. She wrote the address and gave it just a small spray of her perfume to remind him of her.

"I'll send this tomorrow morning."

She pulled on a chain around her neck and played with it. A ring hung from it, making it look like a locket. She traced the carvings on the ring with her index finger and began to read what it said.

"Together with my Yuukie, Daisuke."

Flashback...

"Happy thirteenth Birthday!" Daisuke yelled to surprise Yuukie who jumped back in surprise.

"Daisuke-kun! Please don't do that, you scared me." A younger version of Yuukie said.

"Aww... You're no fun! Besides I wouldn't have gotten you this." He said holding out a small red velvet box.

Yuukie smiled at him and took the small package from his hands. "Thank you, Daisuke-kun..."

"Open it!" Daisuke said excitedly.

"Sugoi! Daisuke-kun, arigatou! I've always wanted a silver ring..."

"Read the inscription." He said almost awkwardly.

"Together with my Yuukie, Daisuke..." She whispered. She bit her lip and turned her head to meet a faint pink faced Daisuke.

"D-do you like it?" he asked nervously.

"I love it... But Daisuke-kun... I don't understand... Why are you giving me this?"

"Well... Uhh... Y-you know that we uhh... that is... uhh... you and I have been together... right?..." Daisuke said nervously, trying his best not to have a nervous breakdown.

"Yes... that's true..." Yuukie said slowly looking down.

"Well, I'm giving you this to declare my love towards you..."

Yuukie leaped on to him giving him a big hug as they headed to the grass laughing. Yuukie sat on his stomach and weaved her hands in his hair.

"Daisuke" Yuukie called out softly.

"Hmn?" Daisuke opened his eyes slightly.

"You're a really great guy..." Yuukie said smiling warmly at him.

"Yuukie?" Daisuke asked as he caressed her cheek.

"Hai, Daisuke-kun?"

"Aishiteru Yuukie..."

"I know... I love you too..." she said letting out a small laugh.

"Yuukie, where's the ring?" Daisuke asked.

"Right here." She said holding it up.

"Sit here." Daisuke said as he patted the grass next to him, asking Yuukie to sit down next to him and Yuukie obeyed, getting off him.

He took out the ring and lifted her left hand.

"Daisuke..." Yuukie whispered looking at him.

He slipped the ring to her ring finger and felt relieved to get the load off his shoulders. He lifted up her chin and kissed her forehead.

End of flashback... (2)

Yuukie yawned and her eyes felt heavy. She turned off the lights and went to bed.

"I wonder who else would be tracking down on me tomorrow?" she asked herself groggily.

The next morning...

Yuukie stepped out of the house clutching the letter in her hand. She walked down the street until she found a mailbox. She inserted the letter into the opening.

"Hey, Yuukie..." someone called her.

"Hmn..." she said turning around. "S-Sakura-san?" she asked.

"Okay, let me get this straight, because I'm already late. I'm getting a manicure and my hair done today at the salon. So, therefore I won't be able to watch over you."

"That certainly is great news..." Yuukie said sighing in relief.

"And so, because of that, I assigned Naruto to look after you."

"Eh..." Yuukie sweat dropped.

"Yeah, I know. He practically begged me! He wanted to because he wanted to make it up to you about something that happened between you guys yesterday."

"Oh. Ano, Sakura-san, who else will be watching me?"

"Kakashi-sensei was also supposed to look after you too. But he left us with the job instead. So Sasuke-kun will be the one for tomorrow then it's back to Naruto again."

"Hmn..." Yuukie gave a small sigh.

"Nani?" Sakura asked.

"Ah, Iie... Iie desu... Ano Sakura-san, where is Naruto-kun?" Yuukie asked but Sakura ignored her and walked away.

"Yuukie-Chan!" Naruto yelled, jumping out of the mailbox.

Yuukie tripped and landed onto the pavement. "N-N-Naruto-kun! What were you doing in there!?"

Naruto laughed nervously and scratched his head. "Hey, sorry... about last night..." Naruto said holding his hand out to pull Yuukie up.

"Hai." She said as she took his hand.

"Yuukie-Chan, who is this letter to?" Naruto asked holding up her letter.

"Well... uhh... It's for my uhh... aniki." She lied.

"You have a brother named Daisuke?" He asked anxiously.

"Y-yeah..."

"Are you sure? It looks like a love letter to me. It smells like one too. It's smells really good." Naruto said as he sniffed the piece of envelope.

"Iie. It's just that I used scented paper."

"How come it smells like your perfume? And why are there wet marks on the envelope?"

"..."

"Oh, sorry if I was asking too much." Naruto said as he placed the letter back into the mailbox again.

"Ano Naruto-kun, are you going to follow me everywhere?" she asked.

"Except the bathroom." Naruto said blushing slightly as he remembered what had happened last night.

"Alright then..."

"Yuukie-Chan, what am I to you? Are we friends?" Naruto asked while they were walking.

"Friends? No. I'm afraid not. Naruto..."

"Oh." He said with a sad look on his face.

"We're best friends." Yuukie said as she held his hand and walked along with him.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yes, of course we are. Why couldn't we be best friends?"

Naruto smiled. " Ichiraku?" he suggested.

"Anywhere is fine with me."

"About yesterday, your ramen. It was getting cold and you didn't come back, so I kinda ate it."

"It's okay, I wasn't hungry anyway. I ment to give it to you."

"Thanks Yuukie-Chan."

After eating at Ichiraku...

"Wah, I'm fully stuffed!" Naruto said massaging his stomach.

"I'm glad that you like it." Yuukie said trying hard not to laugh.

"You only ate half of your ramen and gave the rest to me, why? I hope you're not on one of those diets that Sakura-Chan takes, those are bad for you, you know."

"I know and I'm not on a diet. I'm just not that hungry... I had a big breakfast this morning and besides I know how much you love ramen. You know Naruto," she paused looking at him.

"Hmn?"

"You're a really great guy..." she commented.

"Thanks Yuukie-Chan!"

"Naruto-kun I'll be heading home now. I promise that I won't go outside. Sp, why don't you just wait outside? If anything happens, I'll just call you. If that's all right with you that is. I mean, if you want to go inside, it's fine with me."

"Nah, I'll wait outside."

Yuukie's house...

"Yuukie, you don't mind if I go somewhere right? I kinda have this thing to do."

"Okay."

"Promise me that you will not go outside alone or unsupervised." Naruto said like a chaperone.

"Promise. Mother..." Yuukie said in a teasing voice.

Naruto gave a quick kiss on the cheek and ran blushing. Yuukie was dumfounded, rooted to the spot while Naruto was running really fast and didn't look back. She touched her now red cheek, on where Naruto had just made contact with his lips. A small smile tugged at her lips. Yuukie then went inside and leaned her back on the door.

"Naruto-kun, why does everything you do remind me of Daisuke-kun?"

Flashback...

"Yuukie, I had a really great time. I enjoyed it very much, especially when I was with you..." A fourteen-year-old Daisuke said.

"Me too."

Daisuke kissed her on the cheek and stepped down the porch and looked at the now blushing Yuukie for the last time. He flashed a smile and headed for home. Yuukie gave a small smile and went inside.

End of Flashback...
