Chapter Eight~ Hinata's Tears
-_
I sigh. It's so lonely here in my dark world.
I know a lot more now. I know that I have been dead for a little over a month. I know that everyone who got my letters cried. I can now move around and I am no longer floating in this room, but instead, I am sitting, looking at my reflection in the still and dark water around me.
I slowly bring my pale hand down and I touch the water. It causes a ripple in my reflection. The water is cool to the touch.
I close my eyes. How I wish for a companion here in this dark world. I wish I could go to heaven like the others do, but He said that I couldn't because I brought my own death upon myself. He told me that I will only be able to enter when the reason I killed myself comes for me. I doubt Naruto would be showing up in this place any time soon.
And so, I sit here and I wait. The cool water ripples when ever I move and the only source of light in here is myself. My skin, dress, hair, eyes, everything about me seams to glow with a silver light. Something like the full moons that I use to find beautiful.
I am so lonely. I have no one to talk to. Whenever I speak out loud, my voice only echoes around me. Whenever I get up and walk, run, try to find a way out of this place, I only find darkness stretching on and on.
I felt a warm tear slip from my eye and run down my cheek. It is the only warmth that I have felt in so long. The pearl tear quivered on my chin for only a few seconds before it fell to the cold water. The ripples went around me. I let more tears escape. More ripples spread out. I brought one hand up and I held it up to my heart. My heart was still beating. You would think that I was alive, but I know I'm not. I made sure of that.
I opened my eyes and looked at myself as I cried. I cried tears of loneliness, of sadness, and of pain. I watched the ripples spread out around me.
Something caught my eye. The ripple that were going away from me, they were not the only ones. There were other ripples that were coming towards me. Someone was here.
"Hinata . . ." That voice. Could it really be him?
I slowly brought my head up and saw him. Those blue eyes. That blond hair. That tanned skin. Naruto-kun.
Is he real? Is my mind playing tricks on me or have just lost my mind?
He kneeled down so that he was on one of his knees.
"Naruto-kun, is that r-really you?" I breathe out. I am so shocked. He smiles at me and nodes. I reach out to touch his face, wanting to be sure that he's real. I stopped at the last second though. What if when I touched him, he would leave? No, I didn't want to risk it. I started to pull my hand away, but felt it get trapped in Naruto's hand. I looked at my wrist. He felt so warm. Warmer then my tears were.
Naruto smiled at me. "Hinata-Chan, I have missed you so much," he whispered to me.
It hit me then. Naruto was here. He was dead. No. "Naruto-kun, w-why are you here?" I asked him.
A sad look came to his eyes. "I was killed a few days ago Hinata," he told me. My heart broke. Not Naruto. He wasn't supposed to die this soon. He was supposed to live a long and happy life while I stayed in this darkness. I felt tears sting at my eyes.
"Please, don't cry Hinata-Chan. I have missed you, I'm happy to see the girl I love again." My eyes widened and locked onto his. Had he really just said that? Naruto smiled at me. "I do love you Hinata, and I'm sorry for causing you pain. I really am a moron."
"No . . . just a bit slow," I told him. He laughed a bit, a sound that I have missed so much. I smiled at him and he smiled at me.
"Naruto," I said after so long. "How did this happen to you?"
Naruto looked away for a second. "I . . . I was shot while I was walking around my street." He is hiding something, something big.
"Naruto . . . what are you not telling me?"
". . . Kiba was the one who shot me Hinata. Kiba loves you a lot Hinata. He has for a long time. He hated me because you loved me and not him. I guess that he lost it after you died. He somehow figured out about our fight and I guess he blamed me for your death," Naruto told me quickly. I almost didn't understand all of it, but I did. Kiba, my best friend, killed him.
I felt a tear fall from my eye. Oh, Kiba. I never knew you felt like that for me. I am so sorry Kiba. So, so, so, sorry.
"I-It's all m-my fault Naruto-Kun, I am s-so sorry," I whispered to him. Naruto only shook his head.
"I am happy now Hinata-Chan. Really. I saw Mom and Dad again and I get to see you too. I'm happy, and I don't want you to be sad Hinata," Naruto told me. I smiled at him threw my tears.
Naruto touched my face gently with the hand that wasn't hold in my own. His fingers brushed against the cool skin of my cheek. I blushed at the look in his eye as he staired at me. Never would I think Naruto would look at me like that. My heart hammered in my chest as his face got closer and closer to mine.
"Hinata . . ." Naruto whispered my name so softly.
'Don't pass out, don't pass out, don't pass out,' I told myself. 'Is he really about to..."
The first time Hinata had been kissed by a boy who she wasn't related to, she was thirteen and the boys name had been Shino. The second time, she had been fifteen and it had been a friend of Naruto's named Gaara (she use to have a small crush on the red head). Both boys had been injured by Neji. Her third kiss was in a dark, never ending room where you stood on a water like surface and she was dead.
Can we say 'Third times the charm' here people?
The kiss Naruto gave her was gentle and loving. It removed all doubts she had of him loving her and made her breath stop. She was frozen for only a second before she began to kiss him back with the same amount of emotion and love.
He is so warm. He is warmth and sun shin and happiness and laughter. He is Naruto.
She is so calm. She is tranquil and relaxing and calming and gentle. She is Hinata.
The kiss ended as the lack of oxygen started to affect the two of them. They looked into each others eyes. It had taken so much for them to share that kiss. It had taken heartbreak, tears, and death its self for that kiss to happen. That must have been one hell of a kiss.
"Wow . . ." Naruto said breathlessly. Hinata smiled and a small giggle escaped her lips.
Naruto stood and pulled Hinata with him. He still held her hand as they walked threw the darkness. They didn't talk, no words were needed right now between them. It only felt like a few minutes before Hinata saw a light in front of them.
Her eyes widened and she looked at Naruto. The blond smiled and nodded at her. Naruto had come for her, and she could now enter Heaven with him.
xXxXxXx
Heaven is indescribable, and we're not really aloud to talk about it- so sorry.
I met Naruto's parents after we left my dark world. His mother and I get along really well and she loves spending time with me. His father is a very kind man that always asks Naruto how he managed to get 'a beauty like her', which made me blush four shades of red.
I later found my uncle and mother. My mother had cried when she saw me and had held hugged me tightly for a long time (I think, time doesn't really happen around here- she could have hugged me for five minutes or an hour). I told them how Father, Neji, and Hanabi had been when I last saw them and they had been happy to hear about the people they love.
Naruto and I never aged along with everyone else in this world. I always wore the white dress I had worn when I died and Naruto always wore the orange shirt and black jeans he had died in. We looked as if we were alive, we were warm and had a heart beat, but we never felt pain or bled.
Slowly, years past by on earth and everyone we knew started to die.
My father was the first one to join us. He had a heart attack three years after I died. I was so happy when I saw him again. He had cried when he saw me and held me close to him. He told me how Hanabi and Neji were. I brought him to see Mom and Uncle Hizashi.
Next came Sakura. She had died in a car crash five years after I and Naruto died. She had grown up, but she never forgot us and we were all happy to see her again. She told me that the letter I had given her helped her a lot and that she ended up staying with her father. She told us that she and Sasuke had broken up three years ago when he left for school in America and that she had started dating Naruto's old friend Gaara. It was sad to hear that she and Gaara would never have the wedding they had been planning.
Kiba came next, but he never joined us in heaven. Due to his sin of killing Naruto, he was sent to hell- but not before I apologized to him . . . and smacked him for being so stupid.
Neji and his son, Akira, came together. It was ten years after my death. Apparently, he and Tenten had a son five years ago- but Tenten died during childbirth. He was happy to see me and his father again and Akira soon gained a space in everyone's heart.
It was many years later that Hanabi joined us. I was glad that she had lived such a long and happy life. She and her husband, Konohamar, had had four children and she had spent the last of her days in happiness.
All in all, life in Heaven was perfect.
"Hinata-Chan?" Naruto questioned me. I looked up at his still tanned and handsome face. "What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, just everything," I told him in my soft voice. He smiled and held me tighter.
"It feels like it's been forever since all this began."
"I know, it seems so distant now." I leaned my head against his shoulder. I was perfectly happy in his arms.
"It's still only been forty years," he pointed out.
"Really? It seems so much longer." Naruto smiled down at me.
"Time flies when your having fun I guess," he said brightly with his fox grin. I smiled back.
Yes, this really is heaven.
