Today was the day.
As Naruto griped the idea of finally telling Hinata the truth his hands clutched into fists. She would be disappointed and disgusted at the truth but at least it would not have to be his secret anymore. They could both suffer this love together even if it was only one-sided.
"I have to go see her." he muttered to himself, trying to ignore the side of him that told him that he would be an idiot to do so.
He set forth with her house as his destination. His entire confidence was weak and very powerless. Naruto believed her rejection would almost be certain.
He paid no attention to the curious eyes of the people who he passed. He was in too much of an anxious state that he didn't care about his fast running pace.
Without any consideration of any kind he ran even faster, wanting to get this over with quickly.
Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha, who were standing near the Konoha memorial, took special note of their teammate running as fast as he could to the other side of the village.
"In all the time I've known him I've never seen Naruto have such an unconfident look." Sasuke commented as his friend vanished from sight.
Sakura shook her head. Sasuke had been this nervous when he confessed to her that he loved her. It didn't take a genius to figure out that Naruto was going to tell a special girl that he loved her. And it didn't take a genius to know who that special girl was either…
"If I'm right he'll come back with a girlfriend." Sakura mused as she thought of the only girl who had been unconditionally kind to Naruto in all his life.
Hinata stared at the sun getting lower and lower into the sky. Once again the sunset lights were glowing a ferocious orange.
She sighed. She needed a break from thinking endlessly about Naruto. He would never look at her like a woman, so why even waste time on him? Hinata knew the answer more than she knew how much her cousin Neji despised her. She loved Naruto with all her heart. He had made her feel wanted, needed. She owed him everything she had.
She struggled against the tears and went to take a warm shower.
Naruto hurried to Hinata Hyuuga's house. He didn't bother with the doorbell and waltzed right in. He heard a noise coming from a room and walked in realizing too late that it was the bathroom.
Hinata had just finished putting the towel around her when the bathroom door slammed open. She stared in shock and embarrassment as Naruto stepped in.
Naruto hadn't realized that it was the bathroom and when he did he was staring at Hinata. Her dark blue hair was dripping wet and her hands were wrapped tightly around her chest, holding the towel in place. Having her in such a state, it was impossible to not notice that her arms were small and white, that her legs were smooth and delicate, that her curves were making Naruto ache to have her in his arms.
Hinata blushed as she saw Naruto's eyes recur her entire body. His face was masculine perfection. His arms were big and strong, the result of hard training, and his entire sculpture made Hinata have indecent, colorful images flash in her head.
"I was just coming in to see if you wanted to somebody to fix your broken door." Naruto said quietly, paying only ⅛ of his attention to what he was saying.
He neared Hinata, unaware of the fact that he had left the front door partly open and that anybody could come in.
Hinata's heart quickened and her breathing became irregular as Naruto closed the distance between him.
What a perv!! Chase him out, Hinata! a sensible side of her screamed.
No! You might never have another chance. Haven't you ever wondered what it would be like to be with him? Take advantage of this! another less pure side of her begged.
Will you both shut the hell up????!!! Hinata said to them, completely dazed, embarrassed, and confused.
Naruto stopped a couple of inches from her wet body. His muscles were trying to work against him. Naruto just wanted to tell her the truth about him, that he was a demon fox who was madly in love with her. Unfortunately, his body wanted something else too.
He clutched his fists tightly but his desires overpowered him. Naruto clamped his hands around Hinata's waist, pressed her body to him and kissed her passionately.
Her heart almost pounded out of her chest as she felt his lips move against hers. She felt his strong arms trap her against his torso and engulf her in a frenzy of emotion stronger than anything she had ever felt before. She could barely breathe; she was so lightheaded from the shock of actually being half-undressed in front of Naruto.
Somewhere in her mind though, another thought came into her mind.
Naruto's passion was controlling him and he touched her even more intimately than he had been doing and began to line her neck with his lips.
He's only after one thing and you know what that is… the sensible part of her said worriedly.
The fear made Hinata break apart from Naruto and slap him as hard as she could across his cheek. Naruto stepped back, cursing himself for letting his hands and mouth wander too much.
Hinata's tears overflew down her cheeks.
"You're a monster! How could you try to seduce me just to satisfy your desires? Leave me alone, I don't ever want to see you again Naruto!" she accused him with her voice an octave higher than normal. Her queer eyes were full of dark pain. He didn't love her. All Naruto wanted was to take her to bed.
Naruto's eyes widened at the false assumption she had thought of. He couldn't blame her. What else could he possibly be trying to do when she was in a towel and he was kissing her?
"I'm not-"
"Just leave me alone and don't ever come here again. I hate you! I hate you Naruto. You're a monster!"
The realization of what she thought he was ended up being too much for him. The reason he wouldn't tell her that he loved her and that he had gotten carried away was because she was right. He was selfish if he actually wanted a pure human being like Hinata to care for him. The only thing that was true about Naruto Uzumaki was that he was a monster, a monster that had killed many people and did not deserve to be cared for.
"You're right," he said with his voice full of anguish. "I am a monster," His eyes bore into her like two sapphires. "But I love you more than anything in this world even though I'm the Nine Tailed Fox."
Hinata had only paid attention to one thing Naruto had said.
"You-you love me?" she repeated through her watery eyes, feeling incredibly malicious for telling him that he was a monster who had only wanted her body.
Naruto loved her. When he had come in he had been prepared to tell her that and she had taken his kiss the wrong way. Hinata felt horrible for letting her suspicions control her emotions.
Hinata brushed her tears away as the other part of his confession sank in. Naruto was the Nine Tailed Fox that the Fourth Hokage had sealed away. Naruto had the monster that had killed many ninja and innocent civilians. Naruto carried a demon.
My suggestion? Get the hell out of here. Sure, he looks hot but do you seriously want to end up killed? One side of her said.
No way. Stay here and tell him how you feel! So what if he's the Nine Tailed Fox? It's not like he's killed anybody before right? The loving part of her tried to convince her.
She started to tremble from the reality that he might too love her.
Naruto looked at Hinata and felt completely disgusted with himself. He had scared her to the point of no return. Nevertheless, he could not deny the feeling that was boiling in his blood.
"Yes," he answered her. "I love you."
She bit her lip and let out a shaky laugh as she tried to calm herself down.
"Well that's funny," she began, feeling her heart accelerate. "I was just getting ready to say the exact same thing."
Time stopped for both of them as they looked into each others eyes. Neither spoke and they both stared at each other for what seemed an infinity. The air was clouded with a thick fog of unreality.
She loves me, Naruto thought to himself as he stared at her face. Her lips were laughing shakily as she looked back with those queer lavender eyes.
He extended his hand and with her priorities set straight she went to him.
This time, nothing stopped them from saying 'I love you' to each other.
Okay so here ends my first story. Hope you liked it.
