Hello all!!! Sorry for the insanely long wait. I really am sorry. But now I have an update! Yay!

I kinda like doing the short chapters

I know everyone likes longer ones… but this way my inspiration doesn't run out as quickly

So I will be updating much more regularly now.

Because I know I've been ignoring you..

But no more!

I fell back in love with this story

Disclaimer: Would Kishi update this slowly? No. Because he owns Naruto and I don't



She knew where she was headed

Her tears had stopped

Leaving shimmery trails in their wake

Her breathing still shuddered occasionally

She walked slowly now

Letting each step jolt her body

reassuring her decision

Methodically she walked

Her long slim legs carrying her gracefully

She straightened her shoulders

If he wanted her..

Truly wanted her..

He would fight for her

He would chase her

So she would let him

let him prove his love to her

She had done all she could to show him

No longer would her shyness cripple her

She had told him what she felt

Her heart throbbed with mixed pain and pleasure

She thought of what he said to her

Yet..

Why hide?

She would test him

As he had tested the strength of her love

Everyday

As he ignored her

Pushed her away

Everyday

He flaunted his love for another

Making her eyes sting constantly

From thousands of unshed tears

Her step quickened

The sunlight made her squint

Soon she saw it

The place

The training ground

The place where she had her first real conversation

With the man she had loved wholeheartedly

Before any other

She had noticed him

And he had ignored her

It was time to prove himself..

Would he remember?

Would he know where she had gone?

Did he notice the subtleties of who she was?

As she did his?

If it had been him..

He would have gone to the Team 7 training ground

And touched the pole where he had been tied

But did he know her special place?

Did he know where she went?

He needed to chase her

Win her



His feet moved on their own

His gaze swept around wildly

Looking for flashes of dark locks

Looking for a slender figure

Looking for her

His heart seemed to crumble apart

Each step

And no sight of her

Where was she?

How would he know where she was?

He stopped suddenly

Shook his head

How could he claim to love her

When he couldn't even find the place she would run to

For comfort

For safety

He should know this

She probably knew all his favorite haunts

She knew everything about him

And there was the key

She knew all about him

She knew that he wouldn't give up

Knew that if he truly wanted her

He would never stop searching

Never stop chasing her

If it took him the rest of his life

He would find her

He would chase her

He would prove himself

Prove that he loved her

Even though he didn't deserve her

She was always there for him

He started walking aimlessly

He knew she watched him

Even when he was young

And it was because he knew

that she knew of his struggle

That he could let her see his

Smiley

Sunshine

Laidback

Attitude

His façade

His mask

Fall

When he first got the courage

To ask for outside help

To let someone in

that day when he thought he wouldn't make it past the preliminary

Back when he was still trying to rival Sasuke

Merely to be accepted into the team

It was on that day

When all confidence

All bravado

Had fled from him

That he saw her

Little ballerina movements

Betraying her timidity

Yet

She knew about him

She was the one who encouraged him

With small words

But each one

Lifted his heart to the weight of a feather

She made him feel easy

Accepted

Whole

Included

Loved

Loved… she made him feel loved

From the first moment he ever heard her voice

Back at the training grounds

The training grounds!

Naruto turned around and started to sprint.

He would find her

And more suspense

More more more

Although I must apologize for the long awaited update

I took forever I know.

I apologize.

Now I just have to update To the one I adore.

Love you all!

Review! REVIEW! Pretty pretty please
