Naruto woke up the next morning as the sun came into the room, he looked down and saw Hinata's head laying on his chest. He grinned and ran his hand through her hair. That was something he loved about her, the long raven hair. It wasn't very healthy right now but it was getting better. Her hair had been through some hell.

Naruto sighed contently, she was starting to look better, not that she had lost any of her beauty to him, but she was filling back out slowly, her scars were also being healed, Tsunade was going to try to heal the last of the facial scar today. Hopefully that would be a big up for her confidence. Hinata had been so happy yesterday, she had been filled with joy when she been given the gifts as well as when she got to give her gifts. The only person she had missed seeing was her sister. Hanabi had yet to come to the hospital to see her sister and Hinata couldn't quite understand why. Naruto wasn't sure either but it was kind of pissing him off.

He wasn't able to continue thinking as Hinata started to stir, she looked up at him nuzzling in a little more. Naruto smiled down at her, "Good morning beautiful."

Hinata looked up at him, "G-good morning N-Naruto."

He loved her looking up at him from his chest, he loved this girl with all his soul. She was amazing.

"N-Naruto, i-is s-something w-wrong?" Hinata asked him as she was confused.

Naruto grinned sheepishly, "Sorry, I got lost in your beauty. You caught me staring."

Hinata blushed, "Y-you d-don't have to l-lie."

Naruto shook his head, "I don't lie to you Hinata. You are the most beautiful thing God has ever even thought of creating. Inside and out you are the most gorgeous thing I have ever laid eyes on."

Hinata blushed hard again, "N-Naruto, t-thank you. Y-you a-are too g-good too m-me."

Naruto grinned he shook his head, "Hinata you are the most amazing person in the world, if anyone is undeserving here, its me."

Hinata shook her head, "N-Naruto, I-I l-lo…" Hinata looked down, "T-thank you."

Naruto looked at her confused, she had not told him that she had loved him yet, and right there she was close, why didn't she say it. Was there something wrong. He frowned while thinking about it.

Hinata noticed and frowned, "W-what's w-wrong N-Naruto? D-did I-I do s-something w-wrong?" Hinata's face showed she was worried.

Naruto shook his head, "No, not at all, I just remembered something I needed to do later. But hey good news, I think Tsunade is coming by to finish off that scar on your face, then start working on other scars."

Hinata nodded looking down, "N-Naruto, I-I know how h-hard seeing m-my scars is for you, p-please d-don't look a-at the scars o-on my s-stomach."

Naruto's eyes furrowed, "Why do you say that?"

Hinata looked up at him, her eyes pleading, "N-Naruto, p-please, I-I don't w-want y-you to s-see what h-he d-did to m-me. I-I don't w-want y-you to s-see me like t-that."

Naruto frowned, "If you say so Hinata, I can't force you to show me anything like that."

Hinata nodded, she didn't say that she didn't want him seeing the scars that the snake bastard had left on her more private areas, there were a lot. The bastard had favored those areas as they were more sensitive, and he felt he had more control over her, by hurting those spots.

Tsunade walked in a few minutes later and started to heal Hinata. After about 30 minutes of healing the face scar was gone, and Tsunade was going to start in on the covered areas that were still scarred.

"N-naruto c-can you l-leave the room p-please." Hinata asked him.

Naruto sighed but nodded in affirmation, "Yeah, I am going to go home and freshen up a bit then."

Hinata nodded and Naruto flashed away.

Tsunade looked at Hinata and raised an eyebrow, "Not that I take issue with it, but why have him leave the room, we are just going to work on the scars on your stomach for now."

Hinata looked down, "T-the scar o-on my s-stomach resembles a-a rasengan scar. K-K-K...he g-gave it to m-me a-after Naruto h-hit him w-with a rasengan a-as payback t-to Naruto."

Tsunade nodded understandingly as she lifted up Hinata's gown and looked at her stomach.

"Hinata, I don't know if even I can heal all of that scar. I can tell you now, you will most likely always have that particular scar. Naruto will see it eventually if you two continue dating." Tsunade told her.

Hinata sighed as tears formed in her eyes, "I-I don't e-even know i-if we a-are dating, I-I don't w-want to d-do that t-to him. I-I have s-so much baggage now. I-I don't want to drag h-him down. He s-shouldn't have to deal w-with m-me. I-I should j-just tell h-him I-I can't be with h-him and l-let him find l-love in someone e-else. I-I don't d-deserve him."

Tsunade sighed, "Hinata Naruto loves you no matter what. Have you talked to him about this?"

Hinata shook her head, "N-not really. H-he d-doesn't k-know how scarred a-and b-bad I-I am. H-he i-is too g-good f-for me."

Tsunade sighed, "Naruto will chase you to the ends of the earth, you will only hurt him if you break it off with him."

Hinata now had tears running down her face. "T-that's w-why I n-need t-to end it n-now, o-or soon. T-Tsunade, I mean, I-I don't k-know if I-I will ever b-be normal a-again. I-I don't know i-if I will ever b-be able t-to do anything w-with h-him."

Tsunade looked at her, "Hinata, he doesn't love you so he can have sex with you and do things with you. He just wants to be with you."

Hinata sighed, "I-I know t-that. B-but Naruto deserves some w-who i-isn't b-broken like I am."

Tsunade shook her head, "Hinata you aren't broken!"

Hinata nodded her head, "Y-yes I am. W-what else w-would you c-call me."

"I would call you a woman that was kidnapped and tortured but making it through life anyways. You are going to be fine Hinata." Tsunade told her.

"Same thing." Hinata responded coldly. "I-I'm t-trash, a m-mutt."

Tsunade sighed, "That isn't true Hinata."

Hinata was done talking about it however and looked away. Tsunade sighed and finished healing what she could for the day, and left.

Naruto came back and could tell something was wrong with Hinata. Something was wrong, he could tell, she had shied away from him a couple times and was shutting him out. Giving him short answers to questions and not trying to keep a conversation. Naruto could tell she was shutting him out and he didn't like it, not one bit. She refused to tell him anything about it though, when he asked she would just say she was fine and blow him off.

…

Kakashi and Anko went out for dinner that night, Kakashi had taken her to a nice steak restaurant. The two of them had a great dinner and talked about moving out of the Namikaze estate now that Naruto was back and going to be living in it. They were thinking about getting a place together.

"Well Naruto is 18 now, he no longer needs a guardian staying there, and now that he is back, we will probably want some space." Kakashi told her.

Anko nodded, "Yeah, but that hot springs in the basement is so perfect" Anko said sadly.

Kakashi grinned, "Lots of...good memories in that hot spring huh?"

Anko grinned, "Yeah, some good and some bad." reminiscing about having to learn to stand and walk again. Those had been hard times for the both of them.

Kakashi grinned as the two continued to talk. They had their Steak and then Dessert. Kakashi and Anko then danced on the dance floor the restaurant had before leaving and taking a walk.

They walked to the lighted pond that was in Konoha, it was beautiful.

"Anko, we have been dating for nearly three years now huh." Kakashi asked.

Anko nodded, "Yeah getting pretty close to three years, and it hasn't been an easy three years."

"No it hasn't, we have had ups and downs with the best of them, thats for sure. I never thought I would love anyone again after Rin, but you Anko, I love everything about you. You have filled the many voids I had in me after losing everyone. I found love again in you. We have been there for each other as boyfriend and girlfriend and, well I think maybe it's time we become more," Kakashi got down on a knee and pulled out a box he opened it, "Anko will you marry me?"

Anko looked at him eyes wide, her eyes teared up, "Kakashi, I...I can't… I-I'm sorry." With that Anko turned and ran crying as she bolted away from him.
