Sayonara

It was about time for him to visit during the dark night. As she waited patiently, she looked out her window and watched the stars brighten the sky with their light. The moon glowed, the full moon. She didn't know why but the full moon always had an effect on her. Sometimes she would be sick or one of her wishes would come true. Whatever the full moon had granted her, it was random.

Her arms tightened around the pillow. It has been half an hour past the time she had been expecting him. She still waited. Every minute brought worry into her mind. What if her father had seen him trying to enter her room?

Feet were heard, running feet. It suddenly disappeared. Hinata didn't care. She didn't think it would be him. She was wrong. Naruto landed outside her window with his usual foxy grin on his face.

"Hinata-chan, there is something I need to tell you," he started. "I'll be leaving Konoha in two hours."

"W-what for?" Hinata asked, afraid.

"I need to find out who or what I am," he said sternly. "I'll be going to Suna. It will probably take two or three weeks. I hope around a month. You know how I'm not good with books!"

"But Naruto, who will I look up to? I can't go through this alone."

He could tell she was frightened. He leaned over and kissed her pale forehead. As he removed his lips, he whispered, "I'm always with you no matter what."

She stood like a statue from the sudden kiss. He would usually attack her with one of his kisses but this one was different. It was much different from the others.

"Do you love me?" he asked her.

Hinata snapped out of her frozen form. "Of course I do!"

She wrapped her arms around his neck. Warm tears trickled down his cheeks then onto his neck. "I will love you even in death!"

They used the remaining two hours to help gather a few supplies for Naruto. Together, they talked about recent things that happened which they didn't know about. Hinata told him about a dream that confused her in the night.

"It was a full moon and there were clouds in the night sky. I was lying on the ground watching them. When one cloud passed the moon, it shone brightly and revealed a silver line around it."

"Then?"

"Then a fox-like demon ruins the scene and I wake up."

No-one spoke. Naruto was thinking of what she had said. Every time the word demon comes up, he learns something that is of very little knowledge. It had confused him but it added another tiny piece to the puzzle.

"Naruto, everything is packed up and with 45 minutes to spare!" Hinata said.

The time was used to pack up but half of it was used to talk about things they had to talk about. Usually it took Naruto fifteen minutes to get ready for a mission.

"Yeah."

"What shall we do?"

"I don't know. What about you?" he asked.

"I'll tell you what I want to do. I want to spend more time with you," she answered.

"The moon is beautiful tonight," Naruto said.

"Yes, but you know what happens when there's a full moon."

"I know, but what if it does you some good?"

"Naruto, I don't want to risk it. What if I get sick before you leave? What would you do then?" she asked.

"I'd stay until you get better," he replied.

"Fine, I'll watch the full moon with you."

They sat under the moon. It was a serene sight. As they sat, they talked about stories of the moon. They laughed and they cried until it was time for him to leave.

Naruto got his back pack and got ready to leave the room from the window.

"You coming?" he asked.

Hinata nodded. Naruto smirked and swept her off her feet. She gasped in surprise. He jumped out the window with Hinata in his arms.

"Yo!" Kakashi greeted.

Naruto wasn't surprised that he was reading one of his Icha Icha Paradise books. He released the heiress and walked to his sensei.

Hinata looked around. There was no-one other than the three of them standing there. "Naruto, aren't there other people to go with you?"

"No, it's just Kakashi-sensei and me. Why?"

"I have this feeling you will need more than Kakashi-sensei," Hinata replied.

"Don't worry; I'm going to be fine!"

"O-ok."

"Naruto, we better leave now if you want those answers," Kakashi said.

"Yeah." He faced Hinata. "See you soon."

"Have a safe mission!" she said as the two jumped away.

Hinata started to slowly walk back home. She didn't want to be a prisoner again yet. She wanted to feel free for the first time in weeks. All she wanted was to be with Naruto or at least to be free without any guards around her.

"Good luck," she said once more.

A peaceful morning. Birds chirping, the sun shining and…Neji in her room!

"N-Neji-nii-san."

Her cousin woke up. "Yes?"

"W-why are you in my room?" she asked.

"Oh, Hiashi-sama noticed you were gone last night and asked me to find you. Before I did though, I wanted to check if he was right. Instead of an empty bed, I found you sleeping so he asked me to stay here for the rest of the night."

"Ugh."

"Were you out last night?"

"Yes, Naruto left to do some investigating on himself and demons but mainly himself. I went with him to say goodbye," she replied.

Tenten moaned. The two looked at her, seeing if anything was wrong.

"Neji."

"Neji-nii-san, does she sleep talk?"

"Yep, usually because of nightmares. Every time she calls out in the night, I wake her and find out it was only a nightmare."

Tenten shot up into a sitting position. "Was I sleep talking again?"

Neji rolled his eyes before speaking. "Yes."

"Why is Tenten-chan here anyway?" Hinata asked.

"She follows me."

"What a relationship."

"Kakashi-sensei, do you know anything about demons?"

"Uh, a bit," he replied.

"Can you tell me anything about your knowledge?"

"No."

"Why?"

"What?"

"What Kakashi-sensei?"

"What?" Kakashi said once again.

"It's so hard to get a straight answer from you!" Naruto complained.

"It wasn't my fault. What did you ask anyway? I forgot."

"I give up. It's not like you're going to answer my question. Geez."

Kakashi quietly sighed to himself. He was saved…for now. The information he was asking for was not allowed to be told. It was forbidden but he's a grown man now. It wouldn't matter, right?

For Naruto, it was the piece of information that would answer all of his questions about the past.
