"Oh hey Hinata, what are you doing here?" he asked as he studied her face. "umm N-Naruto I n-need to t-tell you s-something." She said very nervously.
He looked at her with a confused face for a second but only a second before he smiled.
"Sure Hinata what is it?" he said.
She went through what she had prepared to say very quickly in her mind and gathered her courage to say it all in one breath. She was finally going to tell Naruto about her feelings and get it over with. This was the end of Hinata hiding behind trees and poles. Hopefully she would get the response that she was looking for and be with her love for as long as she is meant to be. Nothing was holding her back. She opened her mouth slightly took a deep breath so she could say it all. And out it all came quickly and loud the whole story. She was free.
Naruto stood there with a surprised face on. He couldn't believe what he had heard. It changed the confusion into realization. He wasn't just thinking of her because she was so much more grown and stood out more. He was thinking of her because he was attracted to her. And not physically, well okay physically but also he was attracted to her emotionally and spiritually. She was the type of person that he knew would make his life how he wanted it. He took it all in and for one whole minute he stood in front of Hinata Hyuga the unnoticed caterpillar that has bloomed into a beautiful graceful butterfly, His sunny place, his paradise.
To Hinata the one minute that lasted for ages was the worst time in her whole life. She couldn't stand the suspense. What was going on in his head was all she was worried about. Her fear of being rejected was a great one but her desire of being accepted was extreme. This moment decided it, here either her dreams would come true or her nightmares would. She was shaking; she couldn't look at him because he was so intimidating now that she would surely pass out. She just stared down at her feet as fear and hope mixed in her racing heart.
Naruto that was finally finished absorbing all of what she had just told him had only a thought of what to do next. He would either take this girl that would bring him happiness and responsibility or leave her to pursue his childhood crush that was in fact Sakura Haruno and that would prove disappointing on his part because he was not feeling anything for Sakura. After a while of being rejected by her in their childhood asking her out was more like a routine than a request for her love and appreciation. It was decided then. He had measured the pros and cons and Sakura had come out on top but he didn't care anymore he was siding with what he cared for.
He looked at her worried state he could obviously tell. She was still so graceful. He smiled as he reached out to grab her to bring her in for a hug, and as she fell into his chest his heart started beating different. It wasn't a faster pace of heart but more like his heart started beating harder, like it had just gotten stronger.
She heard his heart as she comfortably snuggled into his chest. It was perfectly set as if she was supposed to be there. She was happy now that everything was how she wanted it but only one more thing had to be said to him so that she would be content. She looked up to his face, He looked down to hers. She wasn't shy anymore to him. She looked into his sky blue eyes that felt so promising and warm.
"Naruto." She said calmly and soft.
"Hn?" he replied in a tone of contentment.
"I love you." She said clearly and happily.
He looked at her still smiling with an innocent look in his eyes and said "Hinata please just wake up." he said as a tear fell from his innocent eyes. She looked at him strange then looked around then when she looked back at him he was gone. Her whole world turned black as night. She was in the dark now alone no one there to save her. She started crying now. She couldn't do anything. Her nightmare was coming true. She screamed his name and fell onto what was thought to be the ground. She couldn't see anything but darkness but she hit something when she fell. It felt soft and warm. She lay herself down and closed her eyes. She was ready to wake now out of this night terror.
She opened her eyes slowly expecting to see the roof of her room in the Hyuga mansion. Nothing but black filled her vision. She tried again and had the same results. She quit after that and just stared into the darkness. She would try not to think of him because it made her feel pain in her heart but she couldn't stop. The memories of him washed over her like the waves in the sea of passion. Every time she thought of him her heart felt like it had been held in his hand, so warm and caring then crushed by another force not of his or hers. It had seemed to her that fate had a way of playing with her emotions. She was ready to surrender now. She realized that the only way that she could actually be with Naruto without fate getting in the way was from the shadows. Just as she broke down and cried and curled up into a ball.
Her closed eyes were opened by the sounds of movement from beside her. She opened her eyes to see that she wasn't in the Hyuga mansion but she was in the villages' hospital. The movement from beside her was from a sleeping person. She looked to see who it was. She was already surprised waking up in the hospital instead of where she should have been but this surprised her immensely. The person beside her was Naruto. He had fallen asleep beside her. She looked at the pillow she had been using and noticed it had been filled with tear stains. She was crying in real life as well as in her dreams.
As Hinata stared at Naruto she felt a sense of relief and hope but also she felt trapped and alone. She realized that she had not told Naruto about how she felt and that if she could only do it in her dreams then her feelings for him would only be realized in her dreams. She stared at him noticing every detail. He started to wake up and Hinata didn't know what to do so she just looked away out the window quickly. To her surprise Naruto had immediately hugged her from behind and made her face go red. She just sat there stunned at his actions. After a while Hinata thought she would speak to break the silence.
"N-Naruto why am I here in the hospital? What happened?"She said in a small confused voice.
"Hinata you're here because you fell and hit your head and your suffering from a concussion. You have been in a coma for a little over two weeks. It's so nice to hear your voice. The last thing you said to me before you fell was that you needed to tell me something. Do you remember?" He said with a concerned tone mixed with a tone of purity.
"I remember saying that I needed to tell you something but that is it. A-and about that just forget about it I didn't need to say anything important." She said in a sad sort of voice.
"Hinata I need to tell you something." He quickly said with a smile entering his face.
"Hn?" she said while nodding.
"Hinata did you know that you talk in your sleep?" He said and in that same moment he leaned over to her and kissed her.
They both were happy now nothing could ruin this moment, except for the people that walked in. They both quickly separated as the crowd of people walked in and as they started noticing that Hinata was awake they started rushing in. All the people that were friends and some family were there to see Hinata. All she heard were stories of missions and funny things but she couldn't really focus on them when Naruto her love was sitting next to her and had just finished kissing her. She looked into the corner of her eye to see him but noticed that he had slipped away without her noticing. The only story she heard out of all of possibly hundreds was the one about Naruto staying beside her the whole two weeks not leaving her once for anything.
After everything had been said Hinata had been taken home to the Hyuga mansion unable to leave until she had reached her recommended healing time. She had guards outside her door ready to bring her what she wanted so that she could heal but she didn't want anything but Naruto and of course she couldn't ask them for that. She heard a rustle at her window and assumed it was a bird until the window started opening and person started crawling through it. She immediately knew it was Naruto from his orange jump suit and golden blonde hair. She sat up in her bed and stared at him as he got up and dusted off from the fall that got him into her room from the window.
He looked at her and smiled. He put his head back out the window and started waving his hands and within a matter of seconds twelve Naruto's jumped through the window. Naruto had done a shadow clone jutsu to find which room Hinata had been staying in because the Hyuga Mansion was so large. They all dispelled themselves into a large cloud of smoke until there was only one Naruto left, the true Naruto. Naruto was able to sneak onto the Hyuga mansion grounds because the Hyuga family had been so feared by intruders that they didn't even bother setting patrols or guards unless there was an invasion or anything in that category.
He looked into her eyes and saw the happiness pour out in tears. He walked, knelt down to her and wiped the tears from her eyes and kissed her lightly on the cheek. She started to blush but only slightly now that she was not so shy and afraid.
"Please don't cry." He whispered into her ear.
She smiled and looked at him. She stopped crying and just cherished the moment. Naruto climbed up onto her bed and lay down with her. When she rested her head on his warm and comfortable chest she felt safe and happy and he felt like the luckiest man alive. That moment would be remembered throughout their entire lives along with the other great memories. Hinata was enjoying being with him. Words were not needed to describe what she felt because they were plainly seen on her face. She was content with her life now but only had one question left to ask.
"Naruto does this mean that you are my… boyfriend?" she said in an extremely innocent voice.
He answered to this by simply nodding in agreement. Just as they thought everything was going to be fine from then on the door burst open with a loud bang.
I would like to say a special thanks to first my girl friend for help and support and inspiring me and second to the first six to review my story. Kinkatia, mkt, ninerfan, Von Doom, piratequeen11 and Hinata Hyuga. Thank you all for everything that you have done.
I still need some constructive criticism if you wouldn't mind. This time if I get about 4 reviews say they want me to continue then I will but it's a bit hard to write so much and people ask for longer chapters. This could be a good cliff hanger or I could just continue it but it all depends on you guys (the readers).
Well that's it thanks for reading .
