WARNING!!!! I kinda went off topic on this and it's a little confusing. So I am sorry. Also it's a little sad so beware. And if I spell any of the names wrong I am VERY sorry. But loly sucks at spelling. Also there's a long rant at the end and a little explanation to the story if you're confused! Please read anyways. Thank you very much,

-loly-

btw: I don't own Naruto.

Holding one to the inevitable

Naruto sighed with relief, at the same time picking a flower from his hair. Jeez, I guess that wasn't the best idea.

For once the fox was suspiciously silent. But Naruto didn't put much though into it and kept walking towards Neji's house. He was determined to find a gift for Sakura by the end of the day…which was coming soon…CRAP

Your screwed, chimed in the demon in a singsong voice. What am I going to do?!?! I don't have much time…Christmas Eve is tomorrow, and I STILL don't have a present for Sakura! Naruto started to spaz.

( you know, pulling out the hair, swearing so much that people were staring.. you know the works, I just wanted to keep this a K+ story. So little swearing )

Oh no, oh no, oh no, (more swearing). Suddenly he felt a tap on his shoulder. But ignored it, too worried and too crazed to realize who it was.

Uh..u-u-mm..es-escuz-m-me N-naruto. Said a quit voice from behind.

Naruto barely heard the small voice, and was about to keep spazing when he realized who it was, he jumped from the ground, which he had fallen to when spazing like a mad man, and put on his the corniest smile he could muster.

Oh hi Hinita! He said with a great boom to hide his distress and embarrassment.

-------------

Since the exams, Naruto and hinita had become close. Or at least that's what he told himself. The real reason they had become close is because of Sasuke.

A few months after the exams, Sasuke tried to run away to the bastard (yes I know I swore but you don't get the full effect with out It. ;) he dare not even think of, without going into a blind rage.

Actually it wasn't once…but several times. He lost count of how many times until Kakashi had to take drastic measures. (And no I don't mean reading him porn)

He confronted his pupils with two options, letting him go forever, or erasing his memory. Kakashi explained that this would be kind of useless because he would lose not just the bad memories, but also the good.

Meaning he would lose all his ninja training, all his friends, and most of all, himself.

But if we let him go, he explained to the now horrified and angst-ish teens, we would never see him again, only in battle. (Arrggg flashback, or no flashback?? TT)

( Ok after a long and scary debate with myself I decided to go with a semi-short flash back if you don't like then. skip it. Though it's kinda important to the story. And yes I am going off track, but you will see that's its important to the relationship of Naruto and hinita.) WARNING: this is where it kinda goes off track.

Naruto remembers quit clearly what had happened that day. Me: DUNDUNDUDNNN.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN LET HIM GO! Shouted Naruto, now just plain out pissed off.

If we let him go, we will never see him again. Said Sakura calmly to her sensei.

The three of them were standing on the bridge, while Sasuke was in a sleep like phase; this was to keep him from running away for the what? Eighteenth time?

Kakashi had called a meeting to discuss something that he now wished he had just decided for himself.

But he knew that it wasn't his own and that his students who had worked with Sasuke should decide too.

But now he was regretting it and wishing really badly that he could just run away and read his book, he sighed with frustration. He hated this part of his job.

So you are saying that if he goes, he will be lost to us, but if he stays he will STILL be lost to us.

Either way we he won't be the same? Naruto said in a reserved and frighteningly quit voice.

In other words, there's nothing we can do. Whispered Sakura, whose head was bowed to hide the tears,

Naruto refused to do the same, though he wanted to, he wouldn't let himself.

Instead he looked straight into his sensei's guarded eyes. He couldn't believe it. He didn't want to believe it.

(end flashback)

Kakashi had then explained that this was part of Sasuke's nature and that the reason he was letting them decide is because they knew him best and they were the only ones who cared for him.

The others would just put him in a coma-state like manner for the rest of his life. He then went on to explain that they (the ninjas) couldn't kill him because he was the only heir to one of the most powerful clans.

He then had disappeared into a puff of smoke, giving them time to decide while he went to forget, the drunk's way.

Ok TBC! I am sorry…I kinda went off into a rant. ; BUT I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF! cries, bows also if ur a little confused I will explain:

Because of this big decision, Naruto goes into a state of depression, and a surprising (kinda) helper comes along. They then become close…something else happens but I am not telling. . Also I am not a big fan of Sakura so you know how she's going to act. She's going to cry her brains out…duh…anyways! I am sorry for making this depressing and if you think I should take this part out feel free to tell me. Its supposed to be happy…but once again...LOLY. CAN'T. DO. HAPPY! (Got that kira?) It's just not possible when it comes to stories. XD. I try I really do, and I do have a sense of humor, but not when it comes to writing stories. Oh and I could keep writing, I actually want to cuz I had writers block.. for a week now, TT but I need to eat cuz lolys hands are shaking. (She's living on coffee only for two hours straight.) I know I am bad. oh and i know its kinda short. dont do long.

Btw my compy is a bitch so the spacing is all screwy sorry.
