"Yes Naruto-san, it's me.''
Hinata never looked directly at Naruto, only at the floor, as if it was the most interesting thing in the world at the moment.
You could barely hear her words, because she spoke barely above a whisper. Naruto was confused at the ending suffix, Hinata was never formal with him. Even before they were dating. But that didn't matter. Hinata was back. She was home. Naruto then checked out Hinata, as if he was analyzing anything different about her that changed when she was in Suna. He noticed her blue-violet hair was in a side-ponytail, and the Hyuga wore a sun hat, the brim shielding her pale eyes. Naruto noticed that her skin was less of an ivory, it was darker than last time, obviously she went outside and not just in hiding. Her attire was a light blue dress, with white daffodils lacing the bottom. She wore flip flops, and still had her black suitcase with some bags by her legs.
Did she think she was going to move in with him? After all she's done?
Naruto then shook off the silly thoughts, his blue eyes scanning Hinata.
Sure he loved her, but he was to scared to let the girl that stomped his heart into the ground back in.
The thought alone made him ache in his chest.
Then it hit him.
She came here right after her flight back to Konoha.
His heart swelled with joy, but it still held some sadness.
He didn't know what to do now.
I guess I'll take the long way home tonight
I drive as far as I can drive
Just to escape the fight
I never said you couldn't hate me,
I never said you couldn't shake,
So don't cry now baby,
Cause you're way to good for that.
Did he still love Hinata before their break-up?
He didn't know. The blond thought that his periods of depression would be a waste if he rejected Hinata's proposal, that is if she had one for him at all.
But if he accepted?
Naruto was scared his heart would be crushed by the innocent girl.
He froze. Was he supposed to do something? Hug her? Give a passionate kiss? He didn't know. Naruto has never dealt with a problem like this one before. The blond looked awkwardly at the girl before him. When she came, it was almost 1 AM, and that was a Naruto-sleeping time. Hinata didn't even look at him yet, and he couldn't see those pale eyes that made the world disappear in seconds. Her sun hat brim was all he saw as he towered over her. Naruto decided to put on a poker face mask, he didn't know what to feel at the moment. He felt his heart was feeling different things all at once. The blond tried to look at something else, this conversation should be done when it was the morning, not just right after she came back.
Was it love, remorse, bitterness?
Only god new at the moment.
It was better to show nothing, because Naruto swore he had the power to punch the wall then cry in the corner two seconds after.
'No crying.' He thought, trying to think like a man at the moment.
But that facade broke, as he gripped the girl that made him feel happiness, to depression.
Then, he hugged her, pulling the small girl to his chest, sighing in contentment.
He gripped her hard, not noticing her tears staining his night shirt.
She wasn't in pain physically, but mentally, she had a emotional overdose.
Naruto didn't want to hurt her, he controlled the force of his hug.
Hinata felt at home, after a long time being away.
She had an emotional overload.
It's your sweet perfume
the scent of you
I tense my toes and close my eyes
as I whisper to you
It's your sweet perfume
the scent of you
that I oh oh, no, no, no,
She adopted a new smell, he noticed. Like a new perfume. It wafted into his nose, filling his lungs with strawberries. He thought it smelled wonderful, even if he wasn't used to it.
"Hinata, I-I don't know what to say..." Naruto stuttered, looking down at the violet girl who broke his heart.
Translation:Should I let you in again, after all you've done to me?" Naruto had no answer himself, as his warmth surrounded Hinata.
He's never felt so vulnerable and confused.
Can he trust her?
Can they be together?
His eyes then met hers, slowly becoming into shock, wondering why she's crying, no no no...
He can't make her cry, she's too innocent, too fragile.
Let's let our bodies sleep in today
Your bones are much too fragile anyway,
Your lovely face, your lovely touch,
I can't find a bone of love in you...
"Naruto, I want to take you b-back. I regret everything that I've done to you. I feel like such a h-horrible person..A-And...
Even if you don't take me back, I'll always love you no matter what."
Hinata boldly said, looking into the sparkly blue eyes that she's hurt so much, regretting everything that she did to him.
She doesn't deserve his love, she already hurt him too much.
And if he took her back, they both knew nothing would ever be like it used too.
He didn't say anything, looking back in to those lavender,lavender,lavender eyes that made him fall in love.
"I know that this offer seems putting to much pressure on you a-and.." She was going to continue until...
He shut her up with his lips.
She was shocked and stood there with open eyes,
When she was about to kiss back, he pulled away, a stoic look crossing his tan features.
"Hinata, I think we should j-just..."
"What Naruto what?" She asked confused about what he was gonna say, already looking down, as if she was already accepting the fact that he had moved on.
That it was too late for them.
But that wouldn't stop her, she would love him forever and do anything in her power to make up for her stupid mistakes that she regretted with all her heart and mind.
That is, if he accepted her proposal.
But that wasn't what happened.
"-Be friends." He ended, biting his lip waiting for her reaction. Before she could say anything, Naruto decided to talk, get everything off his chest.
"Hinata, you've hurt me so much, you went with Kiba, you broke my heart, and ran away." He stated, not missing a beat.
"I-I know...but.."
"I love you Hinata, I always have, but I can't just keep holding my love for you if you treat me like that."
Tears were on both sides at the moment, their voices quivering in the dark, as the night wind passed by.
"I know it's stupid, but I y-you loved my so much that I felt guilty a-and.." She rushed at the end, trying to be strong about this, even if she just wanted to bawl her eyes out forever.
"Hinata, you shouldn't have felt that its a bit stupid. You gave me everything, I now have think of Sakura as a sister and don't crush on her anymore. Because of that our bond is stronger and I can be more mature on missions than in my gennin days. You gave me love Hinata, when I was all alone from the very beginning. Hinata you gave me strength because I would always be so determined on missions just because so I could come back home with someone waiting for me that wasn't family. Most important, Hinata...
you believed in me from the very start when everyone put me down."
Hinata then understood. Their love was perfect, but she left for her own selfish reasons, without even looking back to talking out with Naruto. She bet, that if she didn't go straight to Kiba that one day, they'd still be together and be living happily. If only she realized it... Oh god why did she do this to him, he didn't deserve...he didn't deserve...
to be treated like that.
But she understood it was too late for now, and accepted the fact.
Also Naruto accepted it as well.
But in the near, future, she hoped, that they'd put everything behind and move forward.
Yes, if sounded unbelievable and not a realistic dream, but that was what dreams were for.
They then hugged as if it was their last until Hinata spoke,
"N-naruto?"
"Yes?"
"Can you kiss me one last time? Please?" She begged for it, as if silently agreeing with herself, that after the kiss, they would be friends again, as if they met for the first time.
"Sure Hinata. One last time for old sakes." He responded, as he held her face, and dipped in, giving her the most passionate kiss that he had ever mustered in his life.
She then replied, "Thank you.." to Naruto, as she got her bags and headed back towards the door, Naruto only nodding back, waiting for her to leave, so he could shut the door.
Shutting the door on her,
to his heart,
his physical self,
and most of all,
on a relationship to love.
It's your sweet perfume
The scent of you
I tense my toes and close my eyes
As I whisper to you
HINATA POV.
She wasn't going to lie, she desperately wanted Naruto to say yes to her. She really hoped and thought that he would say yes, after all she knew that he loved her so much.
But then again, listening for his reasons on pretty much how dumb she had been, she probably would've said to be 'just friends' as well.
Hinata felt guilty as she stepped in the Hyuga Compound, wondering if anyone was awake at the hour.
But then she felt someone's chakra spiked up. But then when she identified it more, she immediately calmed down. It was only her cousin, Neji.
"Hn. Hinata-sama, it's pretty late out, you should go back to the main house." Neji spoke, looking at his cousin that he hasn't seen in weeks.
"Y-yeah, I guess I will." She stuttered, her cousin sounded irritated, even a bit annoyed. The Hyuga heir looked behind her, straight into her cousin's eyes.
Pale, just like hers. But his was more serious, more cold. While her's was opposite, full of light.
But with her current situation, she bet her eyes were a bit red due to crying. Neji noticed this, but said nothing.
"Good by, Neji-san, I'll head back now." Hinata said, before turning on her heel, walking back to her home. But then, she stopped in her tracks when Neji said-
"You should really talk to him Hinata-sama. He's not his annoying, idiotic self, and frankly, I'm not used to it. Hn."
Neji said, and when Hinata didn't say anything he just poofed back into his home, which he shared with a certain brunette that would soon become his bride.
Little did he know,
Hinata stopped in the middle of the street, clutched her knees, and bawled her eyes out.
It's your sweet perfume
The scent of you
That I oh, no, no, no, no,
Naruto was a mess, after Hinata left, he just stayed by the closed door, weeping. Yes, it was very unlike him, but he didn't care.
He wiped off his tear-stained cheeks, and went back to bed, hoping it would be better in the morning.
But he knew it wouldn't.
The blond didn't regret his decision, well most of him didn't.
Half of him told himself that it was over, and that Hinata hurt him too much for him to be in a romantic relationship with her.
The other just longed for her to be with him, to be together.
Naruto put too much on his friends when he was depressed. He silently swore to himself to act like nothing happened with him and Hinata,
and that everything would be back the way it was,
back to normal.
But he knew that it would never be the same, no matter.
The truth hurts.
But part of him knew that it was going to happen anyway,
The blond then went back to sleep, alone.
I wanna feel the beat of your selfish heart
As our bodies melt into one in the dark
I wanna hold you close, as we fall into the night..
I tense my toes, and close my eyes,
As I whisper to you-
It's your sweet perfume,
The scent of you
That I oh, no, I don't know-
Somewhere by Konoha Gates.
A girl and a boy, walked in to the gates together, they were not related, but treated each other as a 'brother-sister' relationship.
They then, started talking about their futures.
"I wanna marry someone funny, and kind, with a big heart. How about you Aio?'' The girl asked, looking at her light-blue eyed friend, Aio.
"I don't know but I want someone kind too, who's a bit shy, cause being shy is always a bit cute." He smiled softly, looking at his close, sister-like friend, Akemi.
The two walked up to the gates after giving their passports, walking into their new village.
Both not knowing what would lie ahead.
I wanna feel the beat of your selfish heart
As our bodies melt into one, in the dark
I wanna hold you close as we fall into the night
First off, FINALLY UPDATED! I'M SO SORRY FOR BASICALLY NEGLECTING THIS STORY AND EVERYTHING.
I think this story has maybe 2-3 chapters (5 at most) left before I end this story.
The poll is still up so VOTE.
Currently, making Naruto and Hinata be together again is in the lead, so if you think it should be otherwise, then vote! Each vote counts.
I don't own Naruto or the song Anatomy, by Anarbor. I'm terribly sorry if you hate me because of this chapter, but then again it wouldn't make sense, and I wanted a twist.
I'm sorry for everything, being away, not updating, the shortness of this chapter and grammar errors.
I'm so HAPPY though because of the 40 reviews, and that means so much to me! :) :) It would be pretty cool though to have 50...Haha, not to pressure you guys.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
