Here it is, the third one. I'm scared, this is addicting, another one on the same week. XD
Also we head back into sad territory. Enjoy...
*missus: Informal one's wife or the wife of the person addressed or referred to, or, an informal term of address for a woman.
"Hmm... I'm impressed, you are not that bad..." Madara stretched his arms as he got ready for another set of relentless attacks.
"Bring it!" Naruto was ready, focused and calm. Never before had he felt so in control of himself.
"I wonder if you are indeed ready for this one?" Madara smirked.
"I can take anything you throw at me."
"Oh, so confident... Don't get too cocky kid, you are not bad, but you are no match for me."
Naruto prepared to make some shadow clones.
"Let's go!" Madara charged forward as he made hand seals.
Naruto disappeared and before Madara knew it he had been bisected with a Rasengan.
"Ugh.. How...?" Madara couldn't believe it.
"Haha! I told you, I'm one step ahead of you." Naruto smiled confident.
Madara's upper half suddenly burst with laughter. "You are a complete idiot."
"What! I'm gonna finish you faster than..." Naruto's eyes widened.
"You'll see," Madara started turning brown. "You'll love what I have set up for you and the missus*."
Madara turned completely into tree bark.
"A wood clone? But where is the real one?" The real Madara was nowhere in sight.
"No!" Naruto remembered what Madara said: 'you and the missus*'.
He looked around, "Hinata! Where are you?"
"Hinata!" He screamed, "where are you?"
"Naruto? Hinata was close, I'm here, what's wron...?" Her eyes widened.
"What?" She coughed up blood and reached for her abdomen.
Madara smiled, "worked like a charm."
He removed the wood style jutsu he used to impale her through her abdomen.
She fell forward and Naruto reached her.
"Hinata!" He turned her around. "Oh God no!"
"Naru... to." She winced in pain.
"I'm here Hinata." He held her hand. "I'm here." His breathing became uneven, tears started to form.
"I think it's over for me." She was having difficulty breathing, plus Madara had hit one or two vital points.
"No, don't say that." He couldn't control his tears anymore. "We'll patch you up and you'll be ok, you'll be ok."
He pressed his hand against the wound. Stop! Stop stupid blood! Stop! His hands began shaking.
She smiled a bit, "I'm sorry Naruto, I... I couldn't..."
"No! You don't have to be sorry! You are going to be ok." He was starting to panic.
No... so much blood. No, damn it! Stop! Please... stop...
"Naruto!" Sakura arrived.
"Sakura! Please hurry," he removed his shaking bloody hands from her abdomen.
Sakura gasped, "that's too..."
"Just do something!" He yelled. "Anything, please..."
"I'll do everything I can."
"Hinata!" He tapped her face, "stay with me!"
She opened her eyes, "Naruto..."
"Yes?"Once again he held her hand. He gulped.
I... I can't... Sakura's tears rolled down her chin as she did her best, it wasn't enough.
"Naru..." Hinata coughed, "..to. There's something I always wanted..." Her hand reached his face.
"Don't worry! You'll be ok and you'll get everything you want." Naruto forced a smile, Sakura looked to the side.
Hinata mumbled something, he closed in, what had she said?
"...ruto, I ...ways... d, to kiss... you..." He felt his heart ache, a knot in his throat.
That's right, her confession. How could I forget that? He leaned forward. "A kiss you say?"
He smiled to her, "sure. I would love to." A faint smile appeared in her lips.
His lips reached hers, he closed his eyes and kissed her as best as he could, but the metal flavor in her mouth was a clear reminder of her condition.
He stopped, opened his eyes. "There," he wiped away some of his tears, "how was that?" A small smile formed on his lips.
There she laid with her eyes open.
"Hinata?" He shook her a bit, his smile disappeared. Sakura stopped and held her face.
"Sakura! What happened? Sakura!" He shook his friend. "Say something!"
"I'm sorry Naruto, it was too much and she had lost too much blood. There was nothing I could..."
"No!" He rushed to Hinata's side. "Wake up! Come on!" He laughed, "come on!"
Suddenly it felt like his heart had been ripped out. "No, Wake up... Hina... please..."
Tears slid down his cheeks, "Hinata," he started yelling. "Damn it, no!"
Sakura closed Hinata's eyes, she couldn't stop her tears.
"Wake up!" Naruto started shaking Hinata more violently.
Sakura restrained him, "Naruto stop! She's gone. She's gone."
"But Sakura, she wasn't supposed to die." He cried uncontrollably.
"I know..." She hugged him.
"Bring her back..." Naruto grabbed his hair, he felt like a piece of him had died.
A loud scream broke through the entire battlefield, Hiashi stopped cold, he knew something had happened to his daughter.
"Ah yes," Madara smirked while he sat on a rock not far away. "The sound of true despair."
"Love, what a fragile thing..."
