A/N: Now, it's NaruHina. This is a couple that I really like.
Title: Child of the Trees
Author: Ohtori Akio
Rating: T
She dreamed up a story about a boy lost, growing up without parents in the green of the forest. And he lived in the treetops, he lived off of river-water and slept on beds of moss. But he died without love, without arms to hold him or words to soothe him.
Hinata had a funny feeling that she killed the boy in reality, for he was her--hanging from the vines, twisted up in the brambles of a fading youth and an illusion of family--the boy had to die. Just as she, too, must perish in order to survive.
