Chp.6 parting is such sweet sorrow
Hinata
Hinata stirred in the early hours of the morning, the storm had long since passed and the sky was now a clear blue, breathing in the crisp dawn air she smiled and blinked sleepily. For a moment she was caught in that sweet time between waking and being awake, where everything seems perfect and you cant remember anything, and then the memories came flooding back. The row with her father, the storm, finding Naruto and finally falling asleep in his arms. Which meant that..she lifted her head and rolled over onto her stomach, sure enough the hard mound that she had been sleeping on was in fact Naruto's toned stomach. For a little while she just lay there watching his sleeping face, it made her feel peaceful, then on a sudden impulse she lent forwards and kissed his nose. She didn't know why, she'd never done it before but for some reason his nose just looked so darn cute at that moment, and she didn't know when she'd ever get the chance to kiss it again. Just thinking that thought made her feel incredibly sad so she squished it to the back of her brain. She still had a few hours of untainted bliss with him before she had to go back to her father. So she wasn't going to waste them blubbing. Besides she was past that whole crybaby thing. But try as she might she couldn't stop the tears rolling down her cheeks and splashing onto Naruto's face.
Naruto
'n-Nani, Hinata?!' Naruto opened his eyes in alarm, as he felt another cold wet drop splash on his face. He was shocked to see Hinata leaning over him, her eyes squeezed shut as the tears poured from them. She looked so forlorn that it caused something to tug painfully at his heart. 'Hinata' he repeated, a little louder this time, but still in a gentle tone.
'Oh Naruto' Hinata managed to choke out, as she opened her tear stained eyes to peer out at him, he looked slightly wavy through the veil of water that cloaked her pretty lilac eyes but still as solid as always. 'Your awake.'
'Yes i am' Naruto sat up and reached out his hands, cupping Hinata's face with them he lent in and frowned. 'and im wandering what i can do to help you feel a bit better.' He grinned, 'a kiss?' he offered, leaning in and claiming her lips gently. Hinata giggled. 'Oh no i don't think thats enough' she smiled coyly. 'Another one then?' Naruto kissed her again, running his hand through her silky hair and pulling her a little closer with his other hand. Hinata bit her lip and shook her head. 'It's not working' she sighed despite the fact that her tears had stopped long ago. Naruto ignored this tiny little fact however. 'oh dear' he mused. 'what are we going to do? Then he grinned sheepishly. 'I guess we'll just have to keep trying then'
'mhmm' Hinata blushed and looked up at him through her long eyelashes. Naruto smiled cheekily and then lent in for the third time. This time showering her with kiss upon kiss, until both were finding it hard to breath. Laughing they broke apart and she fell into his arms with a sigh of contentment. Grinning Naruto kissed her forehead and lent back against a tree nearby, pulling her onto his lap. He rested his head on her shoulder and planted his lips on her neck. Just what the hell was he going to do without her?!
Neji
Neji was worried, he had been searching all night and had found no sign of Hinata, plus Naruto wasn't back yet. It was when he was sitting down on the top of a building to rest that it struck him, as sudden as lightening striking a tree. The realization surging through every inch of his body as the electricity would rush through the tree. Naruto had found Hinata, but of course he wouldn't have wanted Neji to know because It would be his responsibility to report back to Hiashi and that would mean Naruto and Hinata wouldn't have anytime left together. He almost smiled at that, Naruto had been clever, uncharacteristically clever. It seemed Hinata had a bigger effect on the boy than she would ever realize and vice versa. He was still lost in his thoughts when he felt a familiar chakra approach. Twisting around his pale eyes took in the sight of Tenten as she stood framed by a golden glow from the rising sun. She was walking across the building towards him. Close up she looked drained, it occurred to him that she too had probably been searching all night for Hinata as well, the pair were after all, quite good friends. As usual she was dressed in her ninja attire, her weapons safely stowed away and her hair twisted neatly up into two brown buns on the top of her head. For a split second he found himself imagining what it would be like to undo them, so that the glossy brown tresses tumbled free from their prisons and fell in waves across her slender shoulders. He blinked and turned back to his original position, waiting for Tenten to take her place beside him. For a while the two sat in companionable silence and then Tenten spoke, she was always the first to break it.
Tenten
Tenten glanced across at Neji, as usual he sat impassive. his face giving nothing away. The only clues as to how he was were the beginnings of shadows under his pearly eyes. She waited for a while, just enjoying being near him and then at last she spoke.
'Do you have any idea where Hinata might be?' Neji considered her question for a bit and then nodded. 'Yes' Tenten frowned, normally she didn't mind his one worded answers but they could be quite infuriating at times, especially times like this. 'Care to elaborate?' she prompted. The ghost of a smile flickered across Neji's face, she tried not to think about how sexy it made him look. Perhaps it was because he was so mysterious that she found herself so drawn to him. With his pale eyes, dark hair and emotionless face she never knew what he was thinking, like a puzzle to be solved, or a present waiting to be opened, and she knew that once she had unwrapped the gift or solved the puzzle the joy would be better than anything she had ever felt. Or maybe it was the adrenaline rush, the thrill she got out of sparring with him that made her so attracted. 'I believe Lady Hinata is with Naruto' Huh, the cool sound of his voice shocked her from her revenue, like icy cold water washing over her. 'Oh okay, shall we go look for them then?' it wasn't so much a question than a polite reminder that they should really get going. She rose to her feet and looked out over Konoha, her mind already going over everywhere she had looked. Neji too stood up and nodded. 'Yes we should go' he reached out a hand and pointed to the west. 'There' he said and in an instance he was on the next building to the west, with a sigh Tenten followed him. Wondering if she would ever see the day that he spoke more than a sentence at a time.
Hinata
The sun was climbing steadily in the sky, casting rays of light across her face. Hinata squeezed her eyes shut and wished that it was silver moonlight instead, that the sky was still dark and that she still had the rest of the night with him. They had talked for hours, about what they would do, how they would be together, how they could convince Hiashi to let them continue seeing each other, and they had not come up with a single solution. Not one. She felt the familiar chakra's before Naruto did. Her heart sank. It was Neji and Tenten. Now she would have to leave, or Neji would be in trouble and she couldn't allow that, not when it would be caused by her own selfishness. Behind her Naruto moved, and she knew that he too had sensed it. His hold on her tightened slightly, showing her that he was just as reluctant to let her go. There were two soft thuds as Neji and Tenten landed before them and she opened her eyes slowly, so that they formed bit by bit. It was Tenten who moved first, 'Hinata' she yelled, running over to her friend, 'do you know how worried I was?' she demanded, enveloping her in a hug. Hinata smiled and managed to look a little guilty. 'I'm sorry Tenten chan, I just had to find Naruto, I felt so alone' she said quietly. Tenten's expression softened and she nodded. 'I know, but you have to go back now' she reminded Hinata sadly. Neji who had been standing back until now nodded. 'I will try and talk to Hiashi but the longer you stay away the smaller your chances of convincing Hiashi will be.' Hinata swallowed and got up shakily, 'Okay' she turned around and hugged Naruto tightly.
Naruto
Naruto held her in his arms, for as long as he could, eventually they drew apart and he kissed her, there were tears in his eyes but he didn't care, she too was crying, the tears leaving slippery trails down her cheeks. He pulled her close momentarily and bent down to whisper in her ear. 'I will see you again' and then she was away from him and Neji and Tenten were either side of her.
Hinata
She let them lead her away, but just before the corner she stole one last look over her shoulder. Naruto was standing there, his eyes bright with tears, they never left her for a moment. She held his gaze sorrowfully until the corner blocked him from view and he was gone. Turning back to look ahead, her hands went to her neck, to the necklace that hung there, had hung there since their first date. Her fingers closed around the delicate amethyst so suitably shaped like a tear and she vowed that she would hold him to his promise.
