Rise of the Sixth Hokage
Chapter two:Emotions Forgotten
Naruto couldn't believe it.
The fact that she had thought that way about him for so long hit him like a rock.
Suddenly he knew what he had to do, where his life compass was leading him.
Hinata didn't believe what she had just done, let alone what she had said.
"Naruto-kun doesn't even have any feelings for me, and I brought mine out like they were common knowledge."She mumbled while running down the empty streets.
As she tried to keep the tears from flooding down her face, she tripped and fell.
"Are you ok, Hinata-chan?"He said while helping her up.
As soon as she was on her feet she took off at a full run and went for the hyuuga compound.
"Wait, Hinata-chan please..."
"Now you've really messed up, kit."
'Yeah, but how do I fix it? I just don't know anymore...'
He let his thoughts drift through the past few months of his life as he came to realize that nobody had been so open with their emotions as she had.
"Well looks like I have a mistake to fix, better get on it."
As she got near the compound, she stopped running, thinking he wasn't close to her.
"Please stop, Hinata-chan. I don't want you to get hurt but we need to talk..."He said as he gained on her, intent on hearing the whole story and thinking of ways to apologize.
With a sigh she took all the courage to muster, stopped and turned around to face him, tears still fresh on her face.
"O-ok, I guess..."
As naruto got closer, he found a bench nearby and motioned for her to sit down.
"G-gomen naruto-kun"
"You and I need to talk, now I know I'm not the smartest ninja in the village, but if you felt this way why didn't you express it sooner? Its not like I would hate you or anything for it... its just unusual for somebody to feel that way about me, I suppose."
"i just feel like whenever I'm around you, I can do anything, take on the world naruto-kun. But your still so far away from me, and its too sad for me to say anything."
As he sat there and listened to her talk, he couldn't help but look into her beautiful eyes, taking in the full lavender color.
"Naruto-kun? She asked as he was staring into her face."
"Um, sorry Hinata I guess I couldn't look away from your eyes, Ive never seen them before but they're so beautiful..."
"Arigato, naruto-kun" she said before looking at her watch." oh no, father is going to kill me, I'm past the deadline for being home, I'm sorry naruto-kun I have to go."
"Uh, ok I guess ill talk to you later then, Hina-chan."
As a small smile left his face, he started walking home.
"So many things to fix, and who knows how long ill be on probation..."he said to himself with a sigh.
And there you have it, chapter two. i know its not as long as chapter one, but i wanted to get the first depressing part (for him) out of the way so the othe good stuff can move in.
Sorry for the speed at which i update, but honestly who is subscribed so far? nobody. who has done a review? nobody. i can write much faster with criticism and reviews.
