Chapter 8 Getting the Band Back together Pt 6
Naruto closed his eyes as he began to play the song that he'd wrote from the heart. The beat was slow and pleasant. The other guys joined in playing just in the same slow perfect tempo.
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long too late
Who was I to make you wait?
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know, you know, you know,"
Hinata listened to the song as her crush was singing. The other girls couldn't believe how deep Naruto was. The song was the most romantic song they'd ever heard.
"I love you
I've loved you all along
I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
And you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore,"
Hinata felt her breath catch in her chest as she listened. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of Hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything, but I won't give up
'Cause you know, you know, you know,"
Sakura and the others couldn't help but realize how romantic the loud mouthed blonde could be. Hinata hadn't moved. Her eyes began to fill with tears at the thought that he had loved her all this time.
"That I love you
I loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
And you'd never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore,"
Naruto's voice carried the tune through the whole ware house. Who knew that any of them cold sing this perfect.
"So far away
So far away
Far away for far too long
So far away
So far away
Far away for far too long,"
"But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
I love you
I loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me,and never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me never let me go,"
Hinata wanted to shout to him that she did love him and that she did forgive him, but she couldn't get her mouth to form words. She truly wanted nothing more than to hold onto him.
"Keep breathing
Hold on to me, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me, never let me go."
The song ended with the final note fading out.Naruto smiled as he and his friends corgratulated themselves on their improvrments with their singing, instrumental prowess, and their song writing. Naruto was laughing with Choji as he layed his instrument down, only to have Neji nearly give him a heart attack.
"Alright, Sakura, Ino, Temari, Tenten, Hinata. You can stop hiding. I know your in here."
Hinata was near tears now. She' never heard anything so beautiful. And Naruto had written it for her!
Did he really mean it?She wondered.
Before she could fully take in what had happened, they'd been found out!
"Alright, Sakura, Ino, Temari, Tenten, Hinata. You can stop hiding. I know your in here."
All five girls blushed as they stood up, smiling sheepishly.
"We're sorry to have eavesdropped on you guys." Sakura said, still blushing, "Right, girls?"
"Hai." Ino and Tenten said, blusing.
Temari meerly smiled as she nodded her head in agreement.
Hinata didn't say anything. She just stared at Naruto with shock and confusion as he blushed in embarrassment. After all, she was basically royalty while he was a nobody. That was why he'd never pursued her. Because even if she liked him, which he doubted, her family might not like it and keep them apart, And the villagers might become creul towards her. He didn't ask her out because he didn't want her hurt.
He lived in pain while she was happy. He didn't care about himself, just as long as she remained unhurt, he could bear it. Looking back to where the girls were, he was shocked to see Hinata standing directly in front of him, less than a foot away, her lavandar eyes looking into his own cerulean eyes. He wasn't the only one in an akward predicament. Temari was in Shikamaru's arms, eyes closed while he looked like he'd been clubed over the head. Choji was in the middle of a kiss and didn't show much emotion exept shock. Sasuke had his arms around Sakura's waist as she leaned back onto his chest, watching their friends. Neji smiled smugly as he held Tenten close.
"Since when did you guys have a band?" Sakura asked as Choji and Ino broke apart for air. And, of course Saskue was the first one to answer.
"About six months. We had started a few months before Naruto and myself went on a training mission. Any way, we were hanging out in here and came across these instruments. Goofing off, we realized that we sounded pretty good." Sasuke smiled as he continued," Then we started writting songs for the people we cared the most about. We came in here and played almost every day."
As Sakura and Ssauke continued to talk, Naruto and Hinata were still looking at one another. Naruto was shocked to see a little hurt in her eyes.
"What's wrong, Hinata-chan?" He asked, worryed that he had hurt her.
Hinata smiled as her lavander eyes locked with his.
"All this time, you've loved me?" She asked, moving closer. Everyone stoped and watched, smiling.
It's about damn time!They all thought.
Naruto put his hand up and scratched his head, grinnning like the love struck idiot he was.
"Ever since the chunin exams. I didn't say anything because I didn't think you liked me." He said sheepishly, staring at his feet. He was surprised whan a pair of smooth, soft hands cupped his face and lifted it up untill he was eye to eye with Hinata. She was moving closer to him still speaking, her sweet breath touching his face.
"Naruto. You shouldn't have been afraid." He noticed that her stutter was gone. She kept moving cloeser, pressing her chest against his. "After all, I've loved you since the acdemy." she said softly before pressing her lips gently upon his.
As they made contact, fireworks exploded inside Naruto's head as he felt warmth, joy, and love flow through him. He dropped his hand from his head and wrapped his arms around Hinata, lifting her off her feet as he pressed the kiss even harder. After several seconds, they broke apart to the sounds of wolf whistles and giggles.
Naruto smiled at Hinata as she looked lovingly at him with her lavander eyes, his arms still around her petite waist.
A sudden shout echoed from each of their friends.
"About damn time!"
Me: I had to use this song. In my last story, people loved that I had used it.
Naruto: Hey, it was a great choice. BTW Writer-sama. Am I gonna get some action from Hinata?
Hinata: Naruto-kun!
Me: I'm seriously considering it. After all, you did in the last story.
R&R please!
