Hey goes out to all my readers. It's kind of sad to know this series is coming to an end soon, but trust me the last fight will be epic. Let's get into the story.
Mia latched onto Naruto's arm as a way to comfort him. He glanced at her smiling knowing she'll try anything to cheer him up. He slipped out of her grasp getting a pout from her. He then put it around her and grabbed her hand to wrap it around his waist. He pulled her closer and gave his comforting smile. She grew a shocked expression, but also a blush. She gave a light smile and relaxed in his embrace, enjoying every moment.
-Sasuke POV-
He was making in way home from dropping Ino home. He remembered one and only time he and Ino actually just got together to hang out and be themselves. He smiled waiting a next opportunity to do it again. Perhaps they could be at his house where he'll have an advantage. His thoughts were ruined when Sakura ran up to him calling his name.
"Sakura what do you want?"
"I just wanted to let you know something about your little girlfriend."
"Like what?"
"Take a look at the picture I took."
Sasuke took the picture and sees Ino with her arm around Naruto's neck with a huge smile on her face. At first Sasuke thought she was cheating on him, but Naruto would never to that to him. He smirked knowing the true story the picture told. Sakura noticed the smirk and got confused. Why was that smirk there? When your girlfriend cheats on you it's suppose to be heartbreaking.
"Sakura how stupid do you think I am?"
"What do you mean?"
"Naruto and Ino, this is their way of annoying each other. And I'm guessing Naruto won."
"And you're not upset?"
"From years ago they have been like that. I heard that just those two went on a mission together. I guess that explains why they're so close."
"So how can you trust that they wouldn't date?"
"I don't know what you're trying to accomplish, but whatever it is it isn't going to work. Ino loves me and Naruto loves Kokoa. There is no need to wonder."
He walked off leaving Sakura in the streets. She looked back at him with clenched fists. She was frustrated to how he had so much faith in her, but never had the heart to take her. She didn't know what to do, but she had to do something. She left the place she stood and went home.
-Naruto POV-
He sat on the couch with Mia preparing supper. What he and Kokoa talked about ringed in his head, should he do it or not? Everything was blocked out and he only heard his thoughts. He was seriously at a crossroad. He got violently awakened from Mia. She gave him a worried look wondering what he was thinking about. He stood up and went to the table. She followed him and sat across from him. She got worried for her clan member and spoke up.
"Naruto is something bothering you?"
"It's just that I miss Kokoa."
"It seems like there's more."
"You can see right through me. It's what Kokoa told me."
"What did she tell you?"
"I can't tell you, but you'll find out soon."
"Come on Naruto, can't you give me a hint, or clue?"
"No can do. Don't worry about it. You'll love the outcome."
"Are you sure?"
"Is my last name Uzumaki?"
"Fair enough."
They talked and ate for what seemed like hours. They were enjoying each other's company and much more. Naruto was happy to have her in his life. She made him feel the same way Kokoa did. They joked around with each other and ended with Naruto's head on her laps. He stared at her and felt as if Kokoa's presence was still with him or, at the least, not that far. She also felt like she and Naruto was a couple, a married one in fact. She couldn't help but think whether this felling would come again.
-Kokoa's POV-
"Father I've found and brought back Kokoa."
"Very well done Moka. Now Kokoa, could you explain where you were and why?" Issa requested.
"Well father I met someone and I wanted to see where they came from and lost track of time."
"So you were having a wonderful time?"
"Yes sir."
"Made new friends?"
"Yes sir."
"So how is this boy you went with?"
"Yes s-wait what?"
"You heard me. Who was this boy you went with?"
"He's no one special."
"Is he a human?"
"No he isn't. Well technically."
"Technically will not be sufficient. You are a vampire. I don't want you near that boy. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes sir." She grew saddened but didn't show it. "What did I get myself into?"
She walked out of her father's room and ran trying to get someplace far. Moka looked at her wanting to go after her but her father was staring her down watching her every move.
"Kokoa I'm sorry."
-Naruto POV-
Mia was in bed sleeping leaving Naruto awake and alone. He went into his room and lay on the bed. He stared at the ceiling trying to fall asleep. So far it wasn't working so he closed his eyes. Soon enough he slowly drifted off to sleep and had the weirdest dream.
Naruto found himself in front of a castle panting a little. He went inside the door and searched the castle. He was on the highest floor and ran down a hallway. He could hear Kokoa's cries of pain. Though he tried to block it out, it didn't work. Finally, he reached to two double brown doors. Before he opened it a person from behind warned him not to go inside, but he went in anyways. Looking all the way down he could make out a person sitting in a throne-like chair. Without lifting a finger he got blasted back and hit the wall with much impact.
What does his dream mean? Will Naruto follow through with what Kokoa said? How will Kokoa see Naruto again? Find out in the next issue of Lover from another Dimension.
