OK, stuck with 3Souls, I decided to work on this in the meanwhile. Let me say that the crowd has spoken and I won't be doing a NaruTem fic. As for NaruHina, well, let's just see how it turns out when Naruto opens his heart to someone for the first time. The chapters may or may not be longer in the future. It all depends on my goal for the chapter.I'm not sure if this one will be too long though, but I'll try.
Oh, and about the hole. Think of when the chidori went through Naruto's shoulder. It went clean through. Think of it there, but where his heart is (was, his inards became rearanged) and since it is in his chest, a shirt covers it. Anyway, I'm thinking of recruiting a beta for my fanfics. E-mail me if your interested. I also have a request I'd like someone to do, if I can remember it that is. I had the awsome idea in my head at work, but it left me a while ago. Kuso! As always, Don't own anything but anime I illegally downloaded from the internet, and my computer with less than 200mb RAM Woo! Go me! Anyway, let's start.
Hinata was standing outside of Naruto's apartment, again. It had been about a week since she, or anyone had seen the blonde. She held her wrist, ashamed of what she did. She hurt him more than anyone, more than Sasuke, or even Sakura, and she hated herself for it. She wanted to go in and apologize, but she couldn't bear to get any closer to his apartment, and she didn't know if he was even there. She held a blue flower, picked from her garden, to her chest as memories of the pain she caused rushed in.
Hinata was on the other side of the door to her father's office. She heard that Naruto was in her house and wanted to know why. She wasn't angry at him, he had made a simple mistake, and that was all. She could easilly forgive him, but her father, that was a nother story. She told him it was from training. he suspected otherwise, so didn't say anything.
"Hyuuga Hiashi-sama, I humbling request an audiance with your daughter, Hyuuga Hinata." Naruto sadly spoke with as much restraint as he could. He always wanted to knock some sence into that white eyed head of his for being a lousy father, but now was not the time. Hiashi looked down at the kneeling Naruto.
"What for." He spoke with authority. He knew of her crush on him, though he had no idea why. All he saw was a stupid goof off inbred child. And an orphan at that. Naruto kept his head lowered as he never left his kneeling position.
"I wish to apologize for a wrong doing that I have done to your daughter yesterday." Hiashi tensed up. The one his elder daughter adored had hurt her. However, he remained civil.
"Speak the reason you broke her wrist." Hinata gasped. He had known that it was no training accident, but intentional, however misplaced.
"Well sir, as you know, the death of my teammate, Uchia Sasuke, was my doing and as expected, the village didn't take to kindly to it. I found my apartment vandalised. "He paused to collect himself. "Again. As I entered, I saw someone in my closet. Assuming she was trashing what little clothes I had, I went to attack the person. I unfortunally lost control of myself a little and accidently broke her wrist when I grabbed Hinata, who was cleaning up the mess. I didn't properly apologize at the time, and would like to formally do it here, and explain my reasons." Hiashi listened carefully to his words. He saw what Hinata saw. Gentle at heart, yet strong when the time comes. Very few would openly admit to him about harming his daughter, intentionally or otherwise.
"She WILL be in her room." Hinata could tell it was directed to her and quickly left, not hearing the rest of the conversation. "You have my permission to see her. I hope that she is strong enough for it." He gave a weak smile as he rose He bowed.
"Thank you sir." he turned and left, going to the direction of Hinata's room. It took a while and got lost a few times, but he arrived at his destination and knocked at the door. Hinata, fixing her hair and everything for Naruto, allowed him entrance.
"Enter Naruto-kun." Naruto opened the door and bowed gently to Hinata, trying his best to be proper.
"Na-naruto-kun. You don't have to b-be so propper." She smiled, doing her best not to stutter so much. Naruto gave a smile, one the few he put on since he woke up yesterday.
"Hinata, I'd like to apolo-" Hinata cut him off.
"It's ok Naruto-kun. I, I understand." She spoke softly with compassion. Though she had a nice red tint to her face, she didn't stutter. Naruto simply shook his head.
"No, no you don't Hinata, but I hope you will. The only reason I broke your wrist is because I lost control. The only other time it has happened was when I went to the country of wave and fought my first enamy ninja." He spoke slowly as Hinata held onto every word. He slowly took off his jacket. "Hinata, I'd like to share something with you, a secret that I've been keeping from everyone my whole life. It is only because I know that I can trust you. But, "He paused, not wanting to do this, "If you never want to talk to me again, I truly understand." She put her arm on his shoulder.
"Nothing can keep me from caring for you Naruto." She brought his eyes up to hers as she said that,trying to warm his heart up.
"Thank you. Let me show you this first." He took off his black shirt to reveal a large bandage in his chest. "During the fight with Sasuke, he hit me with a chidori, right here."He pulled back the bandage to reveal what could best be described as a tunnel through his chest. The insides were blackened with chakra burns, but had the appearence of flesh."I was barely able to be healed." Hinata gasped as she backed away.
"How, how is this possiable? No normal person can survive this. You'd almost have to be a-"
"A monster?" He cut her off, agitation was in his voice. He didn't want to finish this conversation, but he had already started it. "I almost am." He concentrated chakra to his seal, illuminating it. "The Fourth never killed Kyuubi, but he sealed it away in me. It helped me from time to time, but mostly, it is a curse."" Hinata was speechless, yet it did make sense. During the fight with Neji, he used red chakra. It was the same Naruto he always been, but...
"I'm sorry." She spoke softly.
"What did you say?"
"I- I'm so sorry Naruto. I want to believe in you, but this is a little much. I truly do wish I could, but, I can't." She fell to the floor, fear plastered in her eyes. She wanted to be there for him. She always thought that nothing could stop her from loving Naruto. But now, she wasn't so sure.
The hopeful face turned to sorrow, then anger. She could feel it radiating from him as his power surged. Instantly a dozen Hyuugan gaurds burst into the room prepared to kill the Kyuubi. Ten simutanios hands came down apon Naruto, attacking him in the gentle palm style, which was anything but gentle. Enraged, an entire arm made of chakra came forward and slammed them against the wall.He turned to the two gaurding the frightened Hinata.
"Why? Why am I hated so much? I'm not the Kyuubi, I'm just Naruto!" He yelled out as he jumped out the window, not to be seened for a while. Hinata sat there, crying.
Hinata hated herself for what she put him through. Even though she knew that what he said was true, she couldn't help being scared of him. Dropping the flower held in her hand, she turned around, tears falling. Yet again she failed to be strong.
Sakura was sitting on the bench, depressed about Naruto killing her crush. Sobbing, she wrapped herself tightly, feeling a cold shiver run through her body. She stared at the ground for some while untill she saw an odd pair of sandles appear. Slowly, she looked up to reveal a strong enamy, Gaara. He was flanked by his sister Temari and brother Kankaro.
She screamed loudly and in an attempt to back away, fell over the bench she was sitting on. Clumsilly, she tried to crawl away only to be caught by Gaara's sand. Her cries for help were stopped as the sand covered her mouth. past nitemares flashing through her mind, she welded her eyes shut in hopes of stopping the monster that attacked Konoha so many months ago. She felt herself get turned upside down and floated towards the sand-nin.
"Uzumaki" She opened one eye apon hearing his voice. Noticing no sign of agression, sort of, she opened her other one "Uzumaki, where is he."
"You mean naruto?" Sakura asked. She waited for a response, but got none. After all, she didn't know of any Uzumaki besides Naruto, and Gaara already stated that he was looking for him. He hated repeat himself. "Uhh, I don't know. We havn't seen him for atleast a week. Garra kept his cold eyes fixed on her.
"I'll be back." He unceramounisly dropped her on the ground, landing on her head. Turning, he left out of Konoha's gates while Kankaro and Temari stood in place.
"Uhh, I guess we'll just grab a room or something." Kankaro spoke as he and his sister went to a nearby inn, leaving Sakura ignored.
Yeah, that's all I got so far. I know that I havn't updated anything in about three weeks, but I did finish half of the next chapter for 3souls. I'm just stuck with a fight scene. I want them to be as cool as they are in the anime, yet still fail. It's tough.
With Hinata's reaction: almost all fics are complete acceptance with a few complete hatred with what Naruto is. I saw a fic where Sakura wanted to accept him but couldn't, and it turned out good.
Next episode! Naruto comes back with new tricks, and maby a friend. (Not sure though) Ohh, maby so. Got an idea. I hope it doesn't suck when I write it. But first, I'll try to update my 3souls fic.
Huh, after submitting this, it downs't look very big, now does it.
