Since The Beginning (Naruhina)

(9)

3rd person pov :-

Naruto and Hinata are walking together while Naruto holding her hand. The pink blush never left Hinata's cheek.
"Umm.... Can I say something?" Naruto said scratching his neck.
"S-sure." She managed to say.
"But promise me you won't faint." Naruto said.
Hinata became embarrassed at her own habbit. She just nodded.
"You know Hina..... You look so beautiful today." Naruto said looking at the road cause he doesn't have the courage to look at her.
She blushed like a beetroot but didn't said anything.
"I kinda miss your eyes though they are prettier." He said blushing a little.
Hinata just beat him in that competition.
"A-arigato, for t-the c-complimemt." She said in a low voice.
"Hmm." Naruto hummed and continued walking. They walked in silence which was a little awkward though.
"Are we here?" Hinata asked.
"Mm-hmm." Naruto said and entered into market.
"Hinata there are so many things." Naruto said while he looked at the market which was glowing. People are laughing, talking, enjoying their foods.
"Umm.... Naruto-kun are we going to stand here?" Hinata asked being a little impatient.
"Oh.... Sorry I kinda spaced out... Hehe." He gave a silly grin.
"Let's go...." He said and she nodded.
"You know the market looks like a canon ball which came out from a dragons mouth." Naruto said.
"Nani...." She said while smiling. Well she kinda laughed at his explanation.
"Yeah... Everything is like glowing." He said and made a huge ball by both of his hands.
Hinata giggled. She was happy. She continued walking While Naruto stopped.
"There is a shop which is containing many games. And there is....." Naruto started speaking while motioning the shops around him not realising that Hinata is not with him anymore.
Hinata thought he became silent and she continued walking.
"And there is a...." Naruto looked beside him and she was not there.
"Hinata... Where is Hinata??? HINATA!!" He shouted but couldn't find her.
"HINATAAAAA...." He shouted again but nothing.
Hinata continued walking when she heard him calling her name.
"Naruto-kun...." She called but no answer came. "Naruto-kun???" She called but couldn't find him. Then it hit her she was lost.
"Naruto-kun......" She started walking faster only to get lost in the crowd.
"Fuck!!! I should have paid attention." Naruto cursed while running in the crowd.
"Fuck me.... I am really useless." He muttered.
"Where can I find her....." He stopped running and mentally slapped himself.
He immediately made 5 shadow clones and let them find her differently.
"I took her responsibility and now I lost her...." He blamed himself.
"Naruto-kun, where are you...." Hinata said and still walked.
"I should have stayed with him..." She murmured.
It has been 30 minutes and Naruto made 10 more shadow clones to find her. Many people are getting annoyed but he didn't paid attention.
His panicking was increased in a dangerous level. His eyes then fell on a crowd. He didn't paid attention but while passing he heard something,
"She is injured..... Take her to the hospital." Somebody said.
"She would not be able to live."
"She was lost."
"Her company left him."
Naruto stopped in his tracks when he heard someone was lost.
His eyes widened and he was shocked. Unknown to him all his clones disappeared.
He stood there like he has seen something horror. 'You are the reason why she is lost. You took her responsibility now what will happen.' His own voice rang in his head.
He started to imagine the worst possibilities. He clutched his chest, he couldn't feel his legs, his body was shaking.
"..........." A voice rang in his ears like angel.
He looked ahead and there was the same purple kimono that he saw earlier.
"Naruto-kun..." Her voice rang in his ears.
She was moving her hand cause she was unable to see.
"Hinata...." He murmured.
"Hinata......" This time he called a little loudly.
Hinata stopped when she heard his voice. Before she could do anything she felt a huge weight over her in a flash of a moment.
"Naruto-kun......" She managed to say. Before he hugged her tighter.
She didn't said anything but slowly wrapped her arms around him then she felt wet over her shoulders and she realised he was shaking.
"Naruto-kun what happened???" She said worriedly after properly hugging him back.
Naruto couldn't stop himself. His knees gave up while he fell on the ground on his knees, Hinata with him. He never knew he was crying that badly.
"You know.... How worried I was, when I couldn't find you." He sobbed more.
"Naruto-kun it's okay I am here, now." She patted his back.
He stopped and moved back.
"Why did you left me? You know I was about to have a heart attack." He wiped his tears.
"Heart attack??? Why???" She asked being worried.
"I thought I......" He trailed off.
"You what????" She asked.
"I thought I lost you." Naruto answered looking down.
"You were worried about me???" Hinata said with surprise.
Naruto could feel his cheeks blush bright red for some reason yet he shoved it off and got up.
"Anyways let's go and this time I am going to attach with you like a magnet, believe it, Dattebayo." He said.
Hinata laughed and nodded.
Naruto held her hand and placed his other one on her waist. He went behind her.
Hinata became red at the touch. She knew he wanted her safety also Well, she doesn't wanted to trouble him anymore so, she fought the urge to not faint. But she couldn't win.
"N-naruto-k-kun......."
"Nani??" Naruto looked at her narrowing his eyes.
"Ano.... Y-y-your....." She was about to faint.
Naruto couldn't figure out what she was struggling to say then he looked at his hands. Then it hit him. Well he blushed too realising that he was actually grabbing her waist.
He immediately let go and held her shoulders. "Better?"
Hinata nodded and thanked Kami that he understood.
They started walking and Naruto started explaining where they are and will be going. Well Hinata still blushed cause how close they were and she could feel his breath on her.
They met Neji and Tenten. He was super angry at Naruto but gave up when he saw Hinata smiling.
They met Sasuke and Sakura too. While they continuously teased him. He didn't left a chance and teased them too. Sakura blushed and Sasuke just looked away. They bid their goodbyes.
Naruto and Hinata played quite of some games where he won her a purple flower vase.
They ate cotton candy together. Naruto teased Hinata cause she was eating too slowly.
They went for dinner at Ichiraku. Well Naruto wanted to take her to the barbecue restaurant after, Sakura gave a long lecture on 'How to treat girls'. She insisted to go to the Ichiraku. So their final destination was Ichiraku. They ate together and laughed. Naruto was worried on how she would eat but she erased his worries.
After roaming around they finally came to a bridge.
"Where are we?" She asked cause her surroundings were quiet. She was not shuttering cause she became comfortable with him.
"We are at a bridge." He answered.
"Which one?" She asked.
"The older one." He answered.
"Hey isn't it dangerous. Well last time I visited, it was almost reaching the water and it doesn't also have side supports." She said with a little worry.
"Yeah that's why I chosed this." Naruto smiled and Hinata frowned.
"Take of your shoes." He said.
"Before you ask anything just do what I say." Hinata slowly took off her shoes.
"Sit down." He said and she did. He helped her to sit properly.
She realised they were on the edge and she let her feet hang down. She felt something wet on her feets and realised it was the river. She drowned her feet in the water.
"Realised, why I chosed this place." He said and she nodded.
He dipped his foot too folding his pants.
"The fireworks are gonna start." He said and she nodded.
"Aren't you upset?" He asked.
"No." She smiled.
"How?"
"Cause I already enjoyed my day. Thank you Naruto-kun for everything." She said and moved her head upwards feeling the wind.
"Well it's kinda my.... Well thank you too." He said smiling.
"Why??" She asked.
"Cause I enjoyed your accompany too."
Hinata smiled.
Boom!
"The fireworks started." He said and she smiled.
Hinata just listenes to the sounds and Naruto looked at them.
Naruto's gaze moved towards Hinata.
Her face is shining with the colour of the fireworks. Her smile is so beautiful.
Unknown to him he smiled too. He kinda missed her eyes. That was The most fabulous part of her face.
"Are the fireworks beautiful??" She asked smiling softly.
"Not more than you." He answered.
She blushed at his compliment.
Her face dropped for some reason which was noticed by Naruto. He didn't said something cause he didn't wanted to pressure her.
"I am sorry for the trouble earlier." She said facing her lap.
"Hey... It was not your fault. I am the one who spaced out. It's my fault don't trouble yourself. " Naruto said looking at her face.
"No Naruto don't pretend that it's all your fault. There is my sin too. I am just a failure." She said.
"Hinata.... What are you.... "
"No... Naruto-kun. Let me say." Hinata stopped him.
"I always tried my best but I am still weak. My sister has to become the heiress at a young age just because I am weak. I try so hard but i couldn't do anything. Now look at me. If I use my byakugan a little much I can't even use my eyes. Neji nisaan was right about me I am just a... Failure." Her voice cracked at the last word. She was not able to move her head. Then she felt two hands on her cheeks. She was surprised but couldn't say anything.
Naruto cupped her cheeks and said,
"I know you can't look at me but you have to listen to me now. Listen, Hinata you are not a failure. You are more strong than you imagine you are. Have some confidence on yourself. And if you think there is no one to support you then you are wrong. You have friends who support you. I support you and I am proud of you." Naruto finished and gave her a peak on the forehead.
Hinata's face became red because of the unpredictable touch.
"Don't faint okay... " He said and laughed.
"Naruto-kun.... " She hit him playfully.
He laughed loudly and she giggled too.
After some time they decided to go to home. Naruto dropped her off to her compound and returned to his home.
He entered into his drom. He locked his door and leaned his back on the door and slowly slided to the floor.
He covered his total red face by his hands. He was thinking about the peak he gave to Hinata. He was having 1000 dancing butterflies in his stomach.
"What were you thinking Uzumaki?" He silly-ly smiled while his face never became normal.
