Naruto trudged along the dirt path with a lack of enthusiasm that his teammates noticed with concern.
Naruto loved missions, loved being the skillful ninja he was. Sasuke and Sakura glanced at him out of
the corner of their eyes, but he never responded to their worried looks. They weren't that worried
anyway. They were still completely devoted to one another and although they were troubled about his
attitude they couldn't help but get caught up in their own love. It only made it worse for Naruto.
Seeing their sneakily shared touches and caresses, their eyes softening at one another, their kisses,
passionate and quick. It all brought up memories of Hinata. He missed her so badly. Every step he
took he felt his heart give a painful squeeze. He hated being away from her. His Hinata. So beautiful
and strong. So caring and gentle. She was his. Without her with him he felt as though a part of him
was missing. He assumed his heart was with her and that was why he felt incomplete. Yet, if his heart
stayed with her then why did he have a tug of pain in his chest where his heart should be? It wasn't
healthy to be separated from your heart for too long. It had only been two days, but the pain hacked
away at him. He needed her. A white dove fluttered down on his head and Naruto looked up
curiously. The first expression (besides apathy and sadness) he had had since the mission began.
Naruto held out his wrist and the dove landed gently on the outstretched arm. Ebony and Emerald
eyes turned to look at the spectacle. In the golden beak of the dove was a pristine letter addressed to
Naruto. He immediately recognized the handwriting as Hinata's and took the envelope from the dove
carefully. After performing her duty the dove fluttered and flapped onto Naruto's head and nestled in
his vibrant blonde hair. Naruto opened the envelope with eagerness and completely ignored the
questions his teammates were asking. Naruto read the letter immediately, his blue eyes softening at
every word, every line. Emerald and Ebony eyes stared in confusion at his state. He was utterly giddy.
So suddenly. Sakura figured it out first.
"Naruto?" she ventured, realizing he was already re-reading the letter.
"Hmm?" Naruto replied offhandedly, not even looking up from his true love's words.
"I think we should make camp now. It will be dark soon and you'll need the remaining light to write
Your reply to Hinata." Sakura said softly, a smile playing on her lips.
Naruto tore himself away from the letter sluggishly.
"Thanks Sakura." He said and smiled widely.
Sasuke wound an arm around Sakura's waist and pulled her tightly against him, nuzzling her neck.
She pushed his head away playfully to nod at Naruto. Sasuke nipped her neck and Sakura giggled in
response. The love surrounding them was an entity of its own and Naruto felt a pang in his chest.
He missed Hinata. While Sakura and Sasuke rolled out their sleeping bags, still nipping and pecking
each other, Naruto dumped his supplies onto the ground unceremoniously. In a quick haphazard way
he grouped together his writing supplies and set to writing a response.
Beautiful princess, lovely dove,
Every step I have taken away from you pains me in a way I don't wholly understand.
Has it only been two days?
It feels as if eternity has crushed me underfoot.
My heart is with you and I can only feel a phantom pain in my chest where it once was.
I'm fairly certain that being separated from your heart too long isn't healthy.
Where once I used to look forward to missions with an enthusiasm unparalleled I find myself only
wanting to go home.
To run into your arm and feel the love in your embrace.
To feel your silky lips on mine once again.
My priorities have changed.
(I still want to be hokage. BELIVE IT!)
You are first place, the gold medal that I don't even deserve.
I miss you.
Heart and soul.
Body and mind.
Every single inch of me.
Misses you.
Don't bloody your pure white wings beating against a cage,
I will be there with the key to your prison soon.
I won't get hurt Hinata.
I will come back to you.
I have to.
Otherwise there is no reason for me to even be.
To even exist.
This distance between us hacks away at me.
Burns me.
If anyone deserves the term dazzling it would be you.
I remember that day on the beach.
You ivory skin, pale cream against the white sand.
So silky and smooth.
The rough pads of my fingers skimming over your sleek skin again and again.
Enjoying your slight shudders when I trailed my fingers up and down your sides.
Your eyes were the lightest violet, a pure precious color.
Your lips were most tempting.
Reddened from previous kisses and still as smooth and soft as the first time I kissed you.
Your face in all its beauty.
All it's loveliness.
With that shaded pink blush on your cheeks.
You were dazzling.
Spectacular
Angelic
Innocent and pure.
Yet so stunning.
So tempting.
When the sun hit your skin…
It was as if magic erupted in the air.
Unblemished and clean.
And not to be crude, but…
Have you ever noticed how you look in a bikini?
You have the sexiest legs I've ever seen.
A taught flat stomach.
And your…*ahem*
You know.
They were…magnificent.
How do you cover them up under those jackets?
The embodiment of perfection.
That's you, my love.
Perfect.
We had the same gaze then, love.
I looked at you with a disbelief that was creeping towards befuddlement.
There was no explanation for how you were mine.
I'm in just as much shock as you are.
For years I chased the wrong girl, never seeing the perfection waiting right beside me.
Blinded and oblivious.
A soul match that was made in heaven.
Together because of you.
Only you.
I owe every sliver of my happiness to you.
Don't harm yourself, I promise you aren't dreaming.
Although I feel the same sometimes, waiting to wake up.
Waiting to jolt awake and find I'm as alone as always.
That you are a figment of my imagination.
I dream no more, not of love in any case.
Only of our life together.
Spending every day with you.
No dream takes the place of reality.
I will hurry back with all my will.
I promise my Hinata.
If you play the role of the princess, I shall play the role of your prince.
I will help you escape your obligations for as long as I can.
The mission is boring.
All we are doing is traveling right now.
We have to go to the next village over and then the mission actually begins.
Sasuke and Sakura are with me.
They're almost so loving to each other that you feel the need to give them privacy.
Although every touch and nip and kiss is by no means inappropriate…
The way they gravitate towards one another is so intimate.
Spend a day with them and you will see true love.
I could say the same of us.
Any person who doubts love exists should spend a day around Sasuke and Sakura or You and me.
There is no greater example then our stories, our experiences, our love.
I would be honored to be your date for the wedding.
I can't help but smile at the image of Hiashi beaten on the ground.
You are so astonishing.
Healer and fighter.
The "gentle fist".
It describes you well.
You are extremely good at healing.
You healed my heart.
Healed my life.
I will heal the longing you feel, as soon as I can.
You will not be alone for long.
I'm hurrying to you already.
Till I am unable to anymore, I will write to you.
He who aches to hold you,
Naruto
P.S. what do I call this dove?
Naruto sealed the letter with precision and pet the bird on his head. The white dove fluttered and
Snatched the letter out of Naruto's hand carefully. She hovered in the air waiting for direction.
"To Hinata" Naruto said.
The dove flapped off into the distance and the sun set behind the hills. Naruto closed his eyes and
pictured Hinata behind his eyelids. The faster the mission was over the faster he would see her again.
Fly quickly dove. Naruto thought before slipping into sleep.
