Chapter 14

Rice ball


Walking back to the apartment was peaceful. Hinata's hushed snoring was a Lullaby as Naruto walked towards the small apart where he had lived for most of his life. The cool air brushed on his face and though his hair. Hinata Shivered in his grip He smiled slightly and brought her closer to his chest wanting to share his warmth. Hinata wriggled slightly and moved closer in his Grip, His smile grew wider as he reached the Apartment door.

Naruto clicked the door open the door And a Gush of Warm Hair brushed on his face. Moving closer to the sofa in the corner of the room, Naruto set down Hinata She stirred slightly and shivered because of the cold. Naruto rushed into a small, room and pulled out a long Blue blanket and placed it over Hinata's small figure. He smiled as Hinata snuggled in a little more into the blue blanket.

An hour had passed and Naruto was sat across from Hinata on the sofa the smile still not gone from his face, but his eyes told a different story. He was broken Sasuke left, Sakura was… Gone and not coming back. You could see the despair in his eyes. He was so mixed up with emotion. Naruto got up from the sofa and passed over to the kitchen. Even though Hinata had been asleep for over and hour he still felt it was good as a host to give her something when she woke up hopefully to Brighten up her mood.

He went over to the oven and got out the rice balls he had made. He took them over to the counter top when he herd a crash he turned and looked out the small door that lead into the the lounge. He didn't see anything different then what had happened before. He turned back to the oven and Felt a tingling pain in his fingers He dropped his hand away from whatever was causing him pain.

He dropped the plate of rice balls and they scattered into pieces all over the floor. He looked at his hand. It was red and throbbing he clutched it close to him. He felt a small amount of tears forming in his eyes. He moved to a small cabinet still clutching his hand close to him the pain still throbbing through his hand.

He opened the cabinet and saw a lot of medical supplies. He reached for the top part of the cabinet. When he reached the top the contents of the cabinet fell forward all over him hitting his head and his pain filled hand.

He dropped to the floor in desperation to collect all the medical supplies still with a throbbing hand. The tears where starting to fall. He dragged himself along the floor picking up a small amount of medical supplies on his way. Even thought the tears from his eyes where falling.

He reached the middle of the floor. He took a rest. He was slightly overtired and over emotional today. And the day just seemed to get worse and worse every second. He looked at the tiled floor its shinny surface scattered with rice pieces and medical supplies. He herd a squeak from the hinges of the door and looked up to be faced with a pair of pale lavender eyes staring back and him. They seemed not to be so tear stricken anymore. They seemed slightly calm a small smile found itself on his face as the sight of the dark haired Hyuuga looking over at him.

"Naruto-kun" She called as she moved closer to him. She noticed all the medical supplies on the floor and tried not to crush them as she made her way over to Naruto. She sat on the floor in front of him. A small smile on her face she seemed slightly relieved to see him. Placed her hand on his and began to pull him up slightly. He didn't move he just flinched.

Hinata looked at him concurred as she saw a sour look on his face. She looked over to his hand. It was red and he seemed to be keeping it awfully close to his body. Hinata smiled slightly and moved to the other side of the kitchen. She picked up a few bandages and some sort of cream and moved back to Naruto's side. She tapped him on the shoulder causing him to look up.

"Please" he whispered slightly as he extended his hand closer to her. She smiled once more. "Sure" she said back and took his hand in hers. She started wrapping his hand in a bandage trying to make it as neat as possible. In the end she tied it with a small bow and placed his hand on her knee. She looked up at Naruto once more. And so did Naruto they looked at each other a second. Before Naruto smiled back at her "thank you Hinata" he said and took her hand in his.

They both stood up and headed away from the kitchen they both sat in the lounge There eyes connected on one another they sat opposite one another. Thought run through there heads. But neither of them wanted to start a conversation. "Naruto-kun" Naruto was a little startled Hinata as always been known to be a quite person why was she speaking up so confidently.

"Yes Hinata" he answered looking at her closely but a small smile still on his face. "How did you get that burn?" she asked as she looked inquisitively at him. Eh rubbed the back of the head a grin forming on his face. It reminded him slightly of his team 7 days with the other member, Sasuke and...Sakura. His heart skipped a beat at the though of his female team mate.

"Rice balls" he coursed the grin on his face was fading slightly. "Aww Naruto-kun I know a great rice ball recipe I was taught by" She paused she didn't even know if she should continue."Sakura san" she whispered. Naruto collapsed in front of her he gripped hold of her trousers as his face still was looking directly at the ground.

"I can't do it Hinata I can even stand the thought that she's … gone" he whispered the last pert even quieter his emotions where becoming more mixed up by the second. Nothing seemed to be helping him at this part in time. He raised his head and looked up at her face. Her eyes where filled with concern. He pulled himself closer to Hinata into a tight embrace. "Hinata your one of my best friends and I will never let anything happen to you." Hinata was surprised at his reaction and shook his shoulder slightly. "Naruto-kun I will never do anything that will take me away from you" Hinata smiled a reassuring smile as she reached out for his hand. He obliged and took it in his own.

"Hinata I don't know what I would do without you " he said again as he looked up to face the Hyuuga girl As faint blush found its way on Hinata's pale features. He smiled at this. He moved away slightly he moved in closer to Hinata once again. "Hinata I ..."he coughed slightly a faint blush found its way on Naruto's cheeks. It was very rare to see Naruto blush but when he did you sure did know it. "Me to Naruto" Hinata said with a small smile as the blush on her face grew slightly.

They both moved in closer and closer until there lips met for one second. It wasn't a long kiss but in both of there opinion it was worth it. They where both so close to each other there hands cusped together the faces barely inches apart and there breathing tickling each others face. "I... love you" he whispered as he was so close to Hinata there was no need to say it louder.

"I love you too Naruto" Hinata whispered back as she needed her small little speech Hinata's breathing hitched slightly. She had confessed everything and yet she had everything she had ever dreamed of in front of her. Why wasn't she using it to her advantage? Hinata drew back slightly she knew she had no courage left and she would need every single once of courage she had to do what she was going to do now.

She moved close to his her lips nearing his a small smile grazing them." I really do" he smirked along as she moved closer to him. He happily obliged and moved closer once more. It wasn't long before both of them where clutching onto each other there hands fixed around each other. There lips would have to be forced away to get them off each other.

When……….

A crash at the door was herd and then there was footsteps nearing the two people that lay behind the sofa in one large room.
