Disclaimer: If Naruto was mine, I wouldn't be wasting my time here!
Naruto's eyes fluttered open as he looked around the hospital room. "What the-?" He asked.His eyes landed on a dark blue haired girl. She was sleeping soundly in one of the chairs in the room. A large teddy bear was in her arms. It had and orange jacket on. There was a tag on it's arm that said "Get Well Soon, Naruto-kun" in large curly letters. He barely managed a smile as he stared at Hinata in the chair. She was cuter than he thought. Then he got back to wondering why he was here. He had some burn scratches on various parts of his body. He also had a large bump on his head. "Ow." He said, rubbing the bump. Hinata looked up and made a tired moan. She jumped when she saw him looking at her. Her face turned at least five shades of red. "O-oh, N-Naruto-kun, h-how are you?" She stuttered. "Um, fine? How... Are... You?" She blushed more. "Fine." She got up, leaving the bear and ran out of the room. "What a weird girl. Though she is pretty cute. No! What am I saying, did I hit my head or something?" He rubbed the bump. "Yes I did." He frowned. He was soon up and walking. He walked into Tsunade's office. "Hey baa-chan! Where's Sakura-chan?" he didn't know. Yet. "Well um, Naruto, Sakura is... dead." His eyes widened. "W-what?"
"She died in the mission." Naruto fell to his knees, tears falling down his face. Though they had only been together for a short while, but he had been loved. Nobody else made him feel like that before. No one. "Naruto, I know it's hard, but you're going to have to learn to let it go. I lost two people in similar situations, and it hurts me everyday. But I've learned to forget it." Naruto was not listening. His tears held him back from saying anything.
Naruto walked the street, his mind blank. He wasn't going anywhere per say, just walked blankly for no apparent reason. Sakura, the only one who loved him was dead. That was the only thing going through his head before it went blank. Nothing else. He finally ended up on a bench in the park, near the center of the city. His mind was back now and he was focusing on why he was here. He had walked blankly, remember? Hinata approached from the shadows at first, then came into clear view and strolled over to him. She plopped down next to him and smiled shyly at him. "Oh, hey Hinata." She gulped and blushed ever so slightly. "Hello." She said back. "Um, N-Naruto-kun, I was wondering if I could come over to your place later?" Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Uh, sure." he answered. She blushed more and got up to go home.
This chapter was a bit shorter, but it was good, you have to admit. Anyways, read and review. And answer the survey! Domo!
