"Hinata's thoughts"
"Regular talking"
(Recap)
Wiping the Tears from Her Eyes
"Naruto-kun"
The crying little boy looked up to see a young Hinata wrapping her arms around him. Those words she told him during Pain's attack echoed through his mind…
[End of dream]
"I Love You"
Hinata just sat there in the rain, combing the love of her life's hair, and doing her best to shield him from the rain. Unconsciously, those words escaped her lips…the ones that she and waited years to say…
"I love you, Naruto-kun"
"D-Do you really mean that Hinata-chan…?"
Her mind freezes "Howlonghashebeenawake?" Her face fully reddened before she realized what Naruto just said.
"W-W-What?"
Naruto had been so scared of the true meaning of those three little words Hinata had said days before. He wasn't sure if he should ask her again fearing her answer would change since he just left; rushing to save Sasuke again and…after seeing what he really is…
"Do…you actually lo-love a monster like me…"
Naruto was now sitting up, unable to look Hinata in the eye.
"N-Naruto-kun…"
"You saw what I became…right…?" The young hero hung his head in shame; barely holding back the tears he swore he'd never shed again.
{end of recap}
Hinata was on the verge of tears herself. The realization of why Naruto was hurting; of why he had always been hurting hit her and Hinata couldn't take it. Tears streamed freely down her face.
"I knew it…Hinata wouldn't really love me…just like Sakura-chan…she-"
Naruto's thoughts froze as he felt a pair of small arms wrap around him. He could hear Hinata's soft voice mixed with her tears as she softly spoke.
"Oh, Naruto-kun…all these years…(sobbing) this is why you've been so sad behind that fake smile…the glares, the names, and the hate the villagers tortured you with…I understand now…but I've always loved you, Naruto-kun, the real you! I-I've watched you for years so I know you aren't the monster inside…but…why did you…"
"I don't know if I should ask him…but I-I want to know if he…feels something for me…but I couldn't possibly ask Naruto-kun…"
A sad smile appears on Naruto's face as he finishes asking Hinata's question.
"'Why did you change?' is that why you wanted to ask Hinata-chan?"
Shock flashed on Hinata's face, but faded to guilt at his accurate guess. She stares down, but Naruto lifts her head to look him in the eyes and it was as if she could see straight into his soul.
"I snapped…"
Naruto could see confusion fill her eyes.
"I mean…one of my closest friends told me they loved me, and meant it from the bottom of their heart…I was so happy, Hinata-chan…"
His arms finally mirrored Hinata's, pulling her close.
"Then…you fought so hard to save me…I knew you meant to die for me…to do so…but…when I saw Pain stab you I…"
Hinata's tears poured from her eyes. "Hedoescare…evenifitisn'tlove,IknowNaruto-kuncaresforme" Hinata was so happy and sad at Naruto's words. She had to reassure that its ok and she is fine.
"Naruto-kun…you are too precious to me to lose…so I had to try and save you, or at least buy time…I'd gladly die protesting that smile, the real one, of yours that I fell in love with…"
Hinata buried her head into his chest, hoping her words would reach him.
"I'm precious to Hinata-chan…"
Naruto couldn't help but remember were he heard that word before…from the boy he'd never forget…
-Flashback-
{Haku} "When someone has something precious they wish to protest…they become genuinely stroung…"
-End of flashback-
Naruto looked down at the girl in his arms…the girl that saved his life. Naruto finally realized…
"Hinata-chanisprecioustometoo…no…itsmorethanthat…"
Rain continued to pour over the two young shinobi. Hinata thought she couldn't be happier at that moment. She was in the arms of the man of her dreams. Naruto felt at peace for the first time since hearing about Jiraya's death and was happy…just as happy as he was when he met his father.
"In a way, if Hinata-chan hadn't tried to save me, I may have never even met my father. She's given me so much and asked for nothing in return…but I know what she'd want…and I'm not exactly sure but I think that I…"
"Ummm…N-Naruto-kun…"
Naruto's brain froze at the sound of Hinata's voice and for once, Naruto was the one blushing and stuttering.
"Y-y-yeah, H-Hinata-chan?"
Hinata's heart might break, but she had to ask; she had to know that he at least didn't hate her…that he might care for her…
"Is i-i-it ok f-for me to l-l-l-love you-u?"
"Of course, Hinata-chan, I think I love you too!"
Naruto's mouth moved faster than his brain. Both blushed furiously. He knew he had to finish explaining…for both their sakes.
"Well…I'm not exactly sure what love is but I know I care for you more than anything Hinata-chan…even more than becoming Hokage!"
Tears once again streamed down Hinata's face.
"Oh, Naruto-kun, you…(sob) you've made me so happy and I don't mind showing you what love is because I know you love me and I love you."
Naruto learned enough from that pervy sage on what to do next. He tilted Hinata's face up and brought his lips to hers…and…
-He stole the image in her kiss-
