April 23
•Naruto joined the soccer club as a temporary player
•He told us that his mom doesn't make him lunch so I said I would make him one and bring it the next day
"Sasuke! Let's go and buy some bread." Kiba stood up from his seat when the teacher exited the classroom after the bell rang.
"Ah! I'll go too!" Naruto raised his right arm and stood up from his seat.
"No lunch again today?" Sasuke asked as he also stood up from his seat as Naruto smiled sheepishly.
"Well, yeah. My mom doesn't make me lunch so..."
'The letter is amazingly right again.' Hinata thought with a blush dusting her cheeks.
"But, you have a bento Kiba. Why are you always buying bread?" Naruto asked curiously while staring at the lunch box Kiba carried in his hand.
"Well it's not enough for me so..." Kiba rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly with a grin.
"Because you're a beast."
"Shut up Ino."
"Hinataaa! Come shopping with us!" Ino squealed in excitement when she saw Hinata agree. "Alright!"
"Narutooo! You busy today?" Kiba ran towards Naruto's desk and banged his hands in front of Naruto. "Won't you come and check the soccer club?"
"Huh? Why? I didn't even play in the match yesterday." Naruto blinked his blue eyes in confusion.
"Why you say? Because I heard you're better than me in soccer." Kiba noticed Hinata looking at them and smiled at her. "Right Hinata?"
"H-Huh?"
"Hiiiiinaaataaaa!" Naruto called out her name in anger. He marched closer to her and- "Don't tell them about yesterday geez!" -lightly bonked her head.
Hinata blushed while placing a hand over the spot Naruto hit. Ino squealed at the scene that just happened before her.
"Naruto what's with that!"
"What's with what?"
"Is that popular in Tokyo?"
"Huh? O-Of course not!"
Kiba bursted into laughter at the exchange between the two blondes. "Okay, okay enough about this and let's go to our soccer club!" Kiba pulled Naruto by his wrist and was exiting the classroom.
Before the two got too far away, a button dropped on the ground and Sakura picked it up and called the two boys.
"Someone lost a button. Is it Kiba's or Naruto's?"
"Ah. That's mine." Kiba answered. "I think I caught it on with something this morning."
"I can sew it for you." Hinata said and took out her mini sewing kit. "Give me your blazer and the button."
"I-I-y-yes mam!" Kiba stuttered in shock at Hinata's voice that is filled with authority. "Are you sure it's fine?"
"It's no problem!" Hinata replied with a gentle smile.
"Oh yeah Hinata, come with us to the soccer club!" Kiba invited with a grin. "Naruto will be there!"
"Eeeh? No way! We're going shopping today!" Ino whined while shooing Kiba away.
"Just go on Sunday. I'll even come with you."
"No way. Girls only, no boys."
Hinata smiled proudly at her finished work and folded the blazer neatly, handing it to Kiba afterwards. Hinata agreed in coming to the club while Ino whined and sighed.
"Alright let's go! Sasuke are you coming with us or nah?" Kiba looked at the boy who was standing up from his seat.
"Nah. If our captain sees me in the socccer club, I won't be seeing the sunrise anymore." Sasuke declined the offer. "Besides, I have to watch Evening Get."
"Ah that's true. You're in the basketball club after all." Kiba chuckled and waved goodbye as the others minus Sasuke followed him to the soccer club.
"Kyaaa! Naruto you're so coool!" Ino and Sakura squealed after Naruto scored and the practice ended.
"Yeah he is, but thanks to my passing that he scored!" Kiba whined as the girls minus Hinata ignored him. "But anyways, I saw your goal. So, did you play before?"
"Yeah." Naruto drank the water bottle and wiped his lips with his arm. "When I was in elementary."
"That good, that's good 'cause you'll be joining the club tomorrow!" Kiba said cheerfully in a sing-song way.
"Whaa? I never said that!"
"Eh, but the senpais also said you were good and you should join the team."
"B-But I suck at waking up so I probably can't come to morning practices!"
"Who cares? Just join in as a temporary player! That way, you can come only in the afternoon practices!"
"Well...then...I guess being a temporary member...is fine...hey what's with that look?! I didn't say I'll join tomorrow!"
Kiba stared lovingly at Naruto and cling onto him as the girls laughed at this. After this scene, the girls waited for the two boys to change their clothes so they can all go home together. After a few minutes, they have finally changed and were leaving the school.
"By the way Kiba-kun, I fixed your long sleeve earlier since it was gonna break." Hinata said shyly. "I hope you don't mind."
"No! Not at all! In fact, thank you for doing that!" Kiba grinned happily, showing his sharp canines. "What? Why is Naruto laughing?"
"Well, because Hinata is like a mother!" Naruto said with a chuckle.
"W-What? Why? What do you mean by t-that?" Hinata uttered in confusion.
"Ah! I get it! You're right Naruto!" Ino nodded her head rapidly to show her agreement. "She even makes her own lunch."
"Really? That's cool!" Naruto wow-ed and smiled at Hinata. "Make one for me too!"
"Sure! I'll bring one tomorrow..." Hinata mumbled shyly, looking down at the road they were walking at.
"Heh! It's fine! I'm just kidding!"
Just kidding...but I want to make him one. Though, that might be weird. I mean, he said he was just "kidding" so I guess I won't be making one...that's right.
•But I still didn't do it. Make him one and give it to him or you'll regret it.
∆I want you to make Naruto a bento and give it to him.
If I did make one, what will be his reaction? Will he like it? Will he love it? Will he hate it? Will he be surprised? Will he be angry at me because he said he was only "kidding"?
"Morning!" Naruto greeted Hinata cheerfully as the said girl bowed slightly and hid her blusing face with the book she was 'reading'.
Alright! I'll just wait 'til lunch and placed it on his desk and then run! It'll be fine! Hinata, you can do it!
After 4 periods, lunch arrived as all students stood up from their seats. Two of those students approached Naruto asking if he'll get some bread. He nodded and was standing up from his seat.
Naruto-kun! Naruto-kun! Naruto-kun! I made your lunch! Naruto-kun! I made your lunch! But...I couldn't say it.
Lunch ended and after 4 periods again, it was already time to go home. Hinata stood up from her seat with a frown and immediately exited the classroom.
"Why didn't you wait for Sakura and Ino?"
Hinata flinched in surprise but she didn't turned her head to look at the person. She already knew who it was. "They're the ones in the cleaning duty."
"I see..." Naruto replied and walked beside her. "You bag's extra large today. It looks heavy. What's in it? Should I carry it for you?"
'No! The lunch will-!' Hinata thought in fear as she slapped Naruto's hand that were reaching for the huge bag. "Don't!"
Both of them were shocked at what happened. After a few minutes of silence, Naruto walked away apologizing and then ran.
I'm sorry. If I hadn't made that lunch...If it wasn't for the letter...this is something that can't be changed easily. It's my personality. I wish...I hadn't read that letter.
"Hinata! Let's go home now!" Sakura jumped towards the girl and hugged her from the back. "Want to join us in shopping?"
"No..." Hinata declined. "I mean, I'm sorry but please go ahead! I have some business to take care of!" she ran after Naruto.
"Well then, this'll be a date between you and me, Sakura." Ino whispered in her ear only to receive a jab to her side. "Owww!"
Hinata arrived and waited at the entrance of the school as she saw Naruto, Sasuke and Kiba approaching and then came out behind of the pillar bowing her head in apology.
"I'm sorry about earlier Naruto-kun! Please forgive me!" Hinata raised her head with a blush and was ready to run away in embarassment.
"Hinata!" this made the shy girl stop. "Let's head home together."
Kiba blinked his eyes and smiled, riding his bike. "Then, I'll go ahead. I'll ask you more about soccer club tomorrow! Goodluck Naruto!" he pedalled the bike and waved goodbye, without looking back.
"I forgot Naruto but I was suppose to watch Evening Get today!" Sasuke patted Naruto's back.
"B-But Evening Get doesn't air today..."
"Dummy! I said I'll get something for the evening and it might be too crowded at the market today so I need to be early well, goodbye!"
Naruto was out of words as his two "trusted" and "loyal" bestfriends ditched him. What's he gonna do now? He's nervous around Hinata after all though, he just doesn't show it.
"W-Well then, erm Hinata...let's go?"
Oh no! This wasn't in the letter! It's just us. This is something that didn't happen to the 27 year old Hinata! I don't know what'll happen...it's scary.
The two walked in awkward silence as Naruto broke the ice, starting a conversation where they'll get to know more about each other.
"What do you usually do after you get home?"
"Um...I usually help around the house."
"What about hobbies?"
"Hm...I guess love pressing flowers. H-How about you? What do you usually do when you get home and what are your hobbies?"
"I play video games all the time but sometimes, I water our plants and sometimes, I play soccer too."
"Then, while you were skipping class for 2 weeks did you um...just play video games?"
"Yeah..."
Hinata was taken aback by the sudden change of emotion in his voice. His eyes, body language and voice were saying he was sad. About what though? Hinata decided to change the topic.
"T-Then what about soccer? Why won't you join? It's really obvious that you love soccer..."
"My mom...comitted suicide on the day of the opening ceremony..." Naruto confessed while staring at the ground sadly.
Hinata was shocked but she didn't show it. When she found a bench nearby, she asked Naruto if he wanted to sit to which he nodded. After sitting, he continued to talk.
"I promised her...that I won't join any club before she comitted suicide. The 2 weeks that I was absent was for the funeral and the move."
I thought it was fine to ask him stuff. I suddenly remembered about the "don't invite him" stuff and thought that it was my fault his mother comitted suicide since I didn't stop him from coming home with us that day. But then, the reason for the letter was to make sure I erase all regrets that my 27 year old have! If it's like this, I'll just be repeating it all over again!
"Well then, I'm sorry about talking about these strange stuffs. Shall we?"
I have to fulfill the purpose of the letter! I have to help Naruto-kun!
"It's okay, it's not strange at all. I'm sorry I asked." Hinata gulped and looked at Naruto's back with determination visible in her lavender eyes. "Naruto! I made it! I made your lunch!"
Naruto stopped at his tracks and turned his head to look at Hinata who was stretching her arms out with a bento box in her hands.
"I-I planned to give it to you at lunch but I didn't! I'm sorry! When you offered to h-help me carry my bag, the bento was inside it and I was afraid that time but I didn't knew why so...I also apologize for that! I-I don't know if you'll like it but here! Please accept it!" Hinata hid her blushing face from the view of the blonde boy.
Naruto chuckled and took the bento from the shy girl. "I actually really wanted you to make me one and wondered if you would. So, I'm really happy you did. Thank you Hinata!"
He looked like he was about to cry. On the way home, Naruto held it tightly and smiled happily.
"But, I was schocked when you suddenly called me without horonifics. That's why I turned around. Anyways, thank you very much for making me a bento. I really, really, really appreciate it." Naruto chuckled and covered his blushing face with his arms.
"T-Then I'll bring one tomorrow! Tomorrow, the day after and everyday! I'll make you lunch everyday and if you can't get up in the morning I'll call you and wake you up!" Hinata vowed with a blushing face and neck.
"Okay!" Naruto brought his arm down and grinned while blushing equally red in embarassment. "I'll look forward to your call and bento tomorrow!"
His smile remains unchanged...even 10 years from now...forever...and ever...
The 27 year old Hinata, Kiba, Sakura, Ino and Sasuke met up in a park with a car beside them.
"Sorry for making you bring the car!" Hinata smiled in apology as Sakura slapped Hinata's back while roaring in laughter.
"It's totally alright! My husband's driving!"
"Bwahahaha! What's this Sasuke?! You and Sakura don't have a family yet what's up with the van?!" Kiba pointed at the black mini-van.
"Shut up. It's Itachi's."
"Oh! The baby looks just like you Hinata!" Sakura cooed as she held a picture. "Where is he?"
"We left him with Kiba's mother."
"Are you sure auntie can take care of the baby? I mean, he's Kiba's mother. Good thing that the baby doesn't look like Kiba." Ino commented with a hearty laugh.
"Hey now. You've offended me 2 times." Kiba ran a hand down Ino's face.
"What's with the bouquet?"
"It's for Naruto."
All of them minus the Inuzuka married couple laughed and then entered the car. Sasuke started the engine and drived the car.
"Oh my gooosh! Sasuke our lives are in your hands you better drive carefully!" Kiba shouted as all of them minus Sasuke who is too focused on the road, laughed. "Jokings aside, what did you guys bring for Naruto?"
"It's a secret." all of them answered in sync.
"You guys are so mean. Sasuke, I didn't hear you speak."
"Yes you did."
Today, we're going to see Naruto. The promise that can't be fulfilled...
"Hinata! Dinner's ready!"
Naruto died in an accident the winter when he was 17. We made a promise. Saving Naruto is our penance.
Save him.
Save Uzumaki Naruto.
Hello guys! Truth is, when I posted chapter 2 I'm already done writing this!

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for supporting me!
Preview:
"I don't know why but when I see him or anyone else for that matter with you...I just feel annoyed."
"Hinata, are you...interested in someone?"
"Ah, she's really confessing? I can't see well due to the trees covering their faces."
"Naruto! What did you say?"
"You...like him right?"
