Kyuubi Love
Memories (Chapter 17)
It was night time. Naruto and Hinata were sitting above the tree, stargazing.
"I'm really glad you loved me…" Hinata said.
"I'm glad too." Naruto said.
"I actually thought that I'm wrong to love you that way. I never knew that we would come this far…" Hinata said.
"Well, life can be surprising yet beautiful." Naruto said.
"I hope this would never end…" Hinata said.
"Why the sudden fear?" Naruto said.
Hinata looked down then looked straightly at Naruto with a worrying look on her face.
"What if we fail our mission? What will happen to us? We've come this far!" Hinata said.
Hinata cried. Naruto placed his hand on Hinata's chin and wiped the tears off her eyes.
"Can't you trust me?" Naruto said.
"Na—ru—to kun?" Hinata said.
"Gyeah I know that we've come this far and it's quite dangerous and we would…die…" Naruto said.
Then, Naruto breathed deeply and continued.
"However, this would not mean that we should lose hope. We survived and the people in Konoha are in grave danger and your family's one of them. I never wanted that to happen to you. I never wanted you to lose your family. After all of this is done, we will start a new life. A new life in Konoha. But first, we should fight for our village."
"Naruto-kun…" Hinata said.
"I will be the future Hokage! And as a future Hokage, I will do whatever it takes to protect my village!" Naruto said.
Hinata giggled.
"I've always admired you when you're that determined. During my battles with Neji, you are the reason why I keep on standing up and fighting." Hinata said.
Naruto looked at her full of surprise.
"Whenever I'm in grave danger and no one can save me but me, your determining words gave me strength." Hinata said.
Naruto smiled, looked down and blushed.
"I never imagined that a sweet girl like you would admire me like that for so long. Now I know why you blush all the time." Naruto said.
Hinata laughed. Then, Naruto put his hand on Hinata's shoulder and placed her head on his lap.
"You know, I never lose hope because I know that I can still live happily because I have you guys." Naruto said.
"At first, I'm scared but when I swore a bloody oat, or when I keep thinking about the decreasing support they give me, it makes me wanna show them that I can be someone." Naruto said.
"I never even imagined that a guy like you would like a shy little brat like me" Hinata said.
"You're not all that." Naruto said.
Hinata smiled.
"Although, you are weird." Naruto said.
Hinata looked down, feeling disappointed.
"But that's you! People should accept you to who you are. People who never accept you? Well, in my opinion, they're not your friends if that's the case." Naruto said.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Hinata said.
"You are shy, I know that. But you have that confidence inside of you that you just hesitate to take out. It makes you so strong. So, I admire you for striving to prove to every single person in this world, especially in Konoha, that you also have what it takes to be someone." Naruto said.
"On every edge of you, your words are still determining." Hinata said.
Naruto smiled gently at Hinata. Then, he stood up.
"Those beautiful memories full of love, care, laughter, tragedy, everything. You can't leave it. Thinking about it , it makes me want to come back." Naruto said.
Hinata looked down, sad.
"So, I will do what it takes to accomplish our task. If that's what I have to do to have them back, then I will take the test." Naruto said.
Hinata looked up at Naruto, surprised. Naruto looked at Hinata.
"Are you with me, Hinata-chan?" Naruto said.
Hinata smiled.
"Yes." Hinata said.
Then, he reached his hand to Hinata. Hinata held his hand and then she stood up also. They gazed upon the stars. Then, Naruto looked at the beautiful girl by his side. He felt Hinata's cheek and said eye to eye…
"I love you." Naruto said.
"I love you too." Hinata said.
Then, they kissed passionately.
