Forgotten
Because meeting her was destiny.
Chapter Two
Alive
The loudmouth twisted and turned in his king-sized bed, obviously having a nightmare. Sweat dripped from his forehead, his face scrunched up in distaste and fear.
"No, Hinata-chan!"
He practically screamed put, a few minutes later after a few more turns and drops of sweat, he had finally calmed down. His face totally filled with complete nothingness, a foreign expression not familiar in his face. Neither sadness nor happiness took over this blank expression. As if this expression erased these thoughts of a nightmare.
Then a feeling of complete bliss entered his mind.
Flashback
The timid girl stepped into the messy little apartment. She looked around not shocked at all about the mess, she was here to find he boyfriend.
'Ne, not here.'
The lavender eyed girl looked at the crowded floor. She quietly started to pick up the mess; ramen cups, laundry, more ramen cups, pizza boxes, even more ramen cups. She was so into her work that she bumped into a table, completely shocked she stumbled back, only to land-
"Itai"
-there.
She stood up rubbing her sore place. Eyes darted to the table where a picture frame caught her eyes, a smile graced her lips.
A content smile made their way to another person. He came just out of the shower; towel lazily drooped, thinking someone was his apartment he came to search, only to see his girlfriend reach out to pick out a picture frame. A mischievous grin escaped his lips.
'Hehehe'
He made his way behind the violet-haired girls, his arms snaked around her waist his head on her shoulders, taking in her addicting scent.
'Vanilla and lavender, as always'
A gasp was escaped the young Hyuuga's lips. She struggled to get free as the embrace held was tighter stronger. A husky voice talked.
"Hina-chan"
The voice half-whined. The girl blinked, and then she giggled at her boyfriends tactics.
"You scared me, Naruto-kun"
They both looked at the picture frame, as happy expressions filled their faces.
"I love that photo"
She smiled at the talking blonde. It was a very special photo, in place between Naruto's deceased parents. The photo was held at the carnival, they held each other very strongly yet lovingly, leaning to each other they grinned at the photo.
"I know, I love it too"
He only grinned as an answer and let go of the small girl, only to see her as red as a tomato. And he, the clueless little boy, gave her a questioning stare only to receive an elegant but shaking finger point at his body, but before he could answer he heard a thump. He looked to see the fragile girl faint. But him being the overprotective boyfriend he only did the appropriate, he panicked.
'Ah, what to do?'
He looked at Hinata and his body.
'Clothes or Hinata?'
Then he animatedly smacked his head, what the hell was he thinking? Girlfriends first! And with that he steadily picked her up and gently laid her on his bed, because his couch was infested with nothing but garbage and some insects here and there. He quickly put on his clothes.
'Underwear, pants-'
He was about to put on his shirt when he heard a small noise. He beamed.
"Hina-chan!"
He was about to tell her that he remembered clothes but remembered something important.
'-my shirt'
His expression was priceless. It was in the middle of angry and shame, he looked at his girl friend silently telling her he failed. She only giggled in response. He grinned.
"So was sup?"
She smiled as he got something out of her pocket. A hurtful expression flashed on her face.
"I know this isn't enough, after all Neji's done."
She showed his a new and improved necklace. The almost exact same one as before. She looked at a reaction but all she got was his head layed down. She turned to face the window.
'I knew it wasn't enough-'
But her thoughts were interrupted by a certain blonde.
'Why is he embracing me?'
The said blonde looked up to meet, the girls eyes. Her eyes widened in shocked to see the man almost tearing up.
"Naruto-kun."
"I love it"
And then they shared a love filled hug. The atmosphere soft and warm. Their feeling content and happy. They were happy with their lives, for now.
Flashback
He unconsciously touched the fragile necklace as it hung around his neck like it belonged there.
'Has it seriously been 3 years?'
His car drove through the city, passing through a familiar park.
'Cherry blossoms are budding'
He smiled at the remembrance of something important.
'Sasuke-teme is finally getting married to Sakura-chan'
Their wedding was at spring.
'Two more months'
But his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden stop.
He looked at his driver.
"Watobi-san?"
"Sorry Sir, a girl is there"
He hastily got out of the car; he had a meeting to attend to. He looked at the girl lying there.
"Excuse me, madam"
She looked up only a little bit, but retreated to the thing she was holding.
"So, Whatcha have there?"
She looked shocked to hear a gentler voice. You could see her trying to make a decision, but ended up talking to Naruto. She opened up her arms to see a broken bird. Naruto looked in o understanding. He reached out a warm hand to the cold looking girl. She reached in only to melt in his hand.
"You have a very warm hand"
She said timidly. He smiled; the loudmouth then took his jacket and gave it to the cold looking girl. She looked surprised but gave in.
"How about a ride?"
She smiled,
"Yes, please"
They headed for the car. She carefully made herself in.
"Vet, Watobi-san."
He said to his driver.
"Hai!"
The boy then turned to the amazed girl.
"Ano, what's your name?"
She looked deep into space.
"Hinata."
He grinned.
"Okay, Hina-chan"
She blushed at the name. He then looked deep into her lavender eyes.
"You are very cute."
She looked aghast; she twiddled her thumbs, and a habit you can say.
"What is your name?"
"Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto!"
She smiled and looked at the bird.
"Her name is Hikari."
He looked at the bird with great interest, as a sign to go in she continued.
"Hikari is a broken bird"
His eyes stared at her pale looking face; he panicked when tears started to fall.
"Hikari ran away from home."
Now, Naruto was not stupid. He wasn't clueless either. Even if the message wasn't clear to other people, he knew what she was talking about. She was talking about herself, the pain about leaving home too.
He saw her crying in full blast, so he did the only expected thing to do-
"Naruto-kun?"
-he hugged her.
"It's okay, I'm here now."
And that's when she knew it was okay to cry. In complete bliss, she had someone. After all the times she was stuck in her house, no one to play with, no one to laugh. She didn't have anyone; all she could do was talk to the plants and the animals.
"-you're no longer alone"
That sentence broke her, broke her built up wall she put to protect herself from strangers, to avoid the sadness.
'Yes-'she squeezed tighter'-I'm no longer alone'
And with that the snow fell from the sky, as if erasing sadness and filled it with hope.
Her love corrupted her.
A/N: don't own Naruto.
