Chapter 4
Naruto Uzumaki was very surprise when he heard what Hinata had done. He didn't know how but Hinata would always manage to surprise him.
Like that morning, when he caught her watching him sing, a song that meant so much to him, in his moment of most weakness, he hated when people saw him like that.
He shook his head trying to forget his fight with his father that morning. He had, like every Wednesday; he would go to the mental clinic to visit his father. After his father killed his mother he was put in the mental clinic.
No one knew what happened that night, he father made no sense of it. Naruto was the only who know what happened but he never said anything. He just started using jokes as a defense mechanism and then he turn on what he was today.
"Say Hinata" Ino said breaking his train of thoughts. "What are you doing after class?"
"Nothing, why?" Hinata asked, leaning to her sit. Naruto didn't know if she had notice but she was very close to him, and that made him nervous.
"We're singing to some old people today, want to come?" She asked.
"We?" Naruto asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Yes, we, Naruto" Sakura said rolling her eyes.
"I can't" he said quickly getting on his feet as the bell rang.
"Naruto!" Sakura yelled crossing her arms. "What do you mean you can't?"
"I've got things to do?" he said. He turned towards Hinata and grabbed her bag, making her blush lightly. "Come on, let's go"
Hinata walked quietly beside him, but he knew she was dying to ask him what his plans were. "My mom died 7 years ago" He said quietly. Hinata eyes went wide as she watched him.
"Oh" She said.
"I'm visiting her grave" he explained. The words were coming out by itself, he didn't even know why was he was telling her.
"I see" She said. They said nothing else, but he did caught her staring at him from her sit in English class, he wonder if she felt pity for him. He didn't want pity, he hated people that pity him.
At lunch, he held her back. "I don't want you to pity me Hinata" He said angrily. She stared at him with confusion.
"What?" She asked.
"That look you're giving me… you're feeling pity for me. I don't need it from you" He growled. "I don't even know I told you… no one understands"
"I do understand" She said quietly making him groan in frustration.
"You know nothing!" He yelled making her flinch. He turned around to leave but Hinata ran up to him and stopped him.
"I do know Naruto" She said, looking right in to his eyes.
"Fuck off Hinata" he growled and pushed his hand away.
"My mom is dead too" She said making him stop. He turned around and stared at her. "Just so you know" She said. She let out a small sniff and turned around and ran away.
"Hinata" He yelled after her. His action flashed before his eyes, not only had he yelled at her, he made her cry.
She closed herself in the girls bathroom, in which himself not to go in after her. "Hinata" he said softly. "I'm sorry. It's been a really hard day. I didn't mean what I said… or yell at you" He said. Minutes later she came out looking at the floor.
"It's ok Naruto" She smiled, but her eyes were watered. A tear slipped from her eye which he quickly brushed away.
"I'm an ass" he said.
"Don't say that" Hinata said, softly touching his cheek. "You didn't know" She said. They both stared at each other, blush covering their cheeks deeply when Hinata pulled away. "Should we accompany the rest?" She asked.
"You go along" He said. "I don't feel like eating"
"But Naruto…"
"Its fine Hinata" He said and turned around. He made his way to the back of the school. Where it was nice and quiet.

At the same time Sasuke Uchiha sat in the other side of school, in the bath room. He lifted his shirt to reveal razor cuts on his abdomen, some were old and some were fresh
All the pain he felt were carved into his skin. Seven to be exact, each one for a problem that broke inside and whenever that problem made him sad or angry he would re-open the wound.
Love, family… life. It's didn't matter to him.
He looked at himself in the mirror as the tune of her favorite song sang in his head.
Sasuke: Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
On the other side, Naruto had picked up his guitar and began to play the song on his head. He felt so broke at the moment, he needed to find a way to let his frustration fade away.
Naruto: Yeah, I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life
Is in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and
From sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you
Sasuke: Sing with me, sing for the year
Sasuke glared at the mirror as he smashed his fist against the sink.
Naruto: Sing for the laugh, sing for the tears
Naruto sang at the top of his lungs, letting all of his feeling fly away.
Sasuke: Sing with me, if it's just for today
Naruto: Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away, yeah
Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laugh, sing for the tear
Sasuke: Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Naruto: Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until the dream come true
Sasuke: Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes true
Both: Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laugh, sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laugh, sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away...
They both ended the song breathing heavily. Sasuke let his shirt down and looked at himself on last time in the mirror and left.
Naruto began to shake but didn't let the tears run. He wouldn't let them go, he wasn't that kind of guy. His head shot up when he heard the soft call of her voice. There Hinata was, standing in front of her.
"I want to go with you" She said. She pulled her hand up to stop him from talking. "It's not for you. It's for me. I want to be there" She smiled.
"Hn, whatever" He said, but inside, he felt like smiling.
Later that day, after school, Naruto drove them both to near outside of town. "Why is your mom bury so close to Konoha?" She asked.
"She's from here" Naruto said. "That's why I decide to move here after she was buried" He's straight face made her heart hurt. She wanted him to open up, but she understood. He was hurt.
He turned left and parked in front of a cemetery. Hinata quietly let out a sad chuckled. "What?" He asked.
"My mom is here too" She said. Naruto said nothing, he just got off the car and Hinata followed. They walked nearly a mile when he stopped in front of a grave that had orange lilies.
"This is my mom" he whispered. From the corner of the eye he watched her sniff quietly and ran her fingers through her hair. "Where's yours?"
"Right here" She said, pointing at the grave next to it, which had purple lilacs. They were surprise but neither said nothing. Naruto sat in the edge of his mother's grave and Hinata sat on her mothers.
Suddenly he took out a piece a paper from his pocket and stared at it. "What's that?" She asked.
"Nothing" He said and sigh. "It's stupid"
"I bet that's not true" She said kindly. "What is it?"
"A song I wrote for her" He whispered but she heard him.
"Can I see it?" He nodded and handed it to her. "Can you sing it?" He nodded again.
He took his guitar from his back and started playing before he started singing. She could tell it was special to him.
Naruto: Woke up from dreaming
And put on his shoes
Starting making his way past 2 in the morning
He hasn't been sober for days
Naruto stared at Hinata as she sang along with him. She smiled at him, assuring him he wasn't alone.
Both: Leaning out into the breeze
Remembering Sunday he falls to his knees
They had breakfast together
But two eggs don't last like
Naruto: The feeling of what he needs
Now this place is familiar to him
She pulls on his hand with a devilish grin
Both: She led him upstairs, she led him up stairs
Left him dying to get in
Forgive me I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
Don't mean to be a bother
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And its driving me crazy it seems
I'm gonna ask her to marry me
Naruto: Even though she doesn't believe in love
He's determined to call her bluff
Both: Who can deny these butterflies
They're filling his gut
Waking the neighbors
Unfamiliar faces he pleads though he tries
But he's only tonight
Now he's dying to get inside
Forgive me I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
Don't mean to be a bother
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And its driving me crazy it seems
I'm gonna ask her to marry me
The neighbors said she moved away
Naruto: Funny how it rained all day
I didn't think much of it then
Both: But it started to all make sense
Oh I can see now
That all of these clouds
Are following me in my desperate endeavor
To find my who ever
Where ever she may be
Hinata: I'm not coming back
I've done something so terrible
I'm terrified to speak the truth you'd expect that from me
I'm mixed up, I'll be blunt
SongsNow the rain is just washing you out of my hair
And out of my mind
keeping an eye on the world
So many thousands of feet off the ground
I'm over you now I'm not home in the clouds
Showering over your hair
Naruto: I guess ill go home now
I guess ill go home now
I guess ill go home now
I guess ill go home now
They ended both very close to each other. He leans
She leans a little bit more. Their lips are about to touch, both, for a long time are waiting but he turns away.
He clears he throat and looks away. "We should go" he says. He walks away while Hinata stares at his back. She looks down at the graves and smiles sadly.
"Good bye mom" She whispers and then turned towards Naruto's mother. "I'll take care of him" She says and follows him.
