Beyond the fame /My personal teacher: The sequel/

Truth and visitors

Kai's POV

The time I spent with Hinata by my side as her "boyfriend" really made me think about my part in Hinata's life. In the times we were alone we talked about so many things. 

There was this one time when I asked her what does love mean to her.

"Love, huh? I wish I could say something poetic so I can sound wise but what I really think is that love cannot be defined. I'm still way too young to know but I believe that love in its romantic form is about equality, if you know what I mean. Equal giving and equal taking. Love should make you feel safe but also kind of scared...People take love for granted sometimes and then they become thoughtless. Love is tough and exhausting. And somehow love is what every person wants to experience at least once, it's the thing the most songs and poems are written about... Love...Love is just love.

I love love. To have somebody you can share your heart with. Somebody that will make you a soup and will take care of you when you're sick, somebody who'll be proud when you're at the top, that will put you first every time, that will apologise and do his best to correct himself just so he doesn't loose you. Somebody you can call a best friend but you can also be physical with. Somebody you'll return to after a long day of work. Somebody you'll belong to. And somebody that'll belong to you. This...this is something one should treasure the most even when it gets hard."

I still remember how she looked in the distance while saying all that. Not even once she looked at me.

Since that conversation I finally understood my role in Hinata's life. Since I believe in the saying that honesty is the best policy I felt obligated to tell the truth.

I was even more surprised when a certain someone patted me on the back.

"Hey!" He waved at me.

Naruto's POV (events from Chapter 13)

"Hey!" He waved at me. When I ignored him and walked past him Kai stated something that he knew would pique my interest. "She was pressured into it."

I stopped dead in my tracks. After a second I took trying to process the information I turned slowly to face him. Then I gestured for him to follow me.

"Speak." I snarled at him once we got out of the club. The wind ruffled my hair. 

"I know you have no reason to believe me but I do this because I hold deep respect for Hinata and only wish for her to be happy." Kai put his hands up in surrender. A move personifying that he has no hidden intentions. I guess this was supposed to convince me he was honest with me. "First of all, the idea wasn't hers."

"Then whose? Yours?" I growled with a quirked brow. What is he even trying to achieve? Rub my nose in it?

"No. I agreed because Hinata asked me to." 

I felt the anger rising in me. I needed to use all that self-control that was left in me to not let the raging feeling consume me.

"Due to people's preference for the so-called 'KaiHina' over 'NaruHina' Morgana made her move and convinced the film crew that confirming the rumours and giving the audience what they want will stimulate their interest."

I put my hand up ordering him to stop talking. "Hold up. Let's assume I believe what you say and it was all Morgana's wicked plan to please the media. Why didn't Hinata warn me? How comes that I don't know."

"One of Morgana's conditions was that no one should know that it's just an act. Her argument was that someone might spill the beans and it will backfire." 

"I see." I can't decide if I trust Kai but it sounds too complex to be made up by a dumbass such as him. "You said Hinata agreed first and she she asked you to go along with it?"

"Yes." 

How could she? 

Why would she?

"How could she not fought against it? How could she not fought for me?" I looked at the palms of my hands like they had the answers written on them. 

"This is something you should ask her pal." Kai patted me on the back sympathetically. Then he took his leave. 

Thank goodness it was cold outside. My thoughts became a swirling chaos suffocating me. I started panting, where did the air in my lungs go? The world started spinning, I had to lean on the wall.

Hinata's POV (present time)

 I woke up in my bed. Strangely, I don't remember what happened after my conversation with Yadachi It's almost like I blacked out for the rest of the night. 

I can't believe I have to perform the songs tomorrow. How am I supposed to not get emotional when pieces of my soul are poured into them? And now... I can't imagine singing them only to him. And if I can't do that how am I supposed to fight my stage fright? 

The thought of not seeing Naruto's blue eyes while performing made me flinch. After all the beautiful words I wrote were inspired by him. 

But Morgana promised she'll make everything in her power to make him be there if that'll make me feel calmer. 

After I had breakfast and got ready I was ready to leave the house for my last day before the concert. I was just tying my shoes when someone knocked on the door.

....
