Kira's POV
I sensed someone's embrace and movement around me. I let out a small groan as the motion ceased.
Gradually, I opened my eyes to find Naruto holding me, his expression filled with concern.
"Naruto?" I uttered. "Kira! Are you okay?! Do you feel any pain or discomfort?" he asked, visibly worried. I shook my head. "Just exhausted," I answered, to which he let out a sigh of relief.
"We're almost there, don't worry," he whispered softly, adjusting his grip on me with a gentle tousle.
"I'm sorry for all you've been through because of me," I murmured, gazing down with regret. "Hey, it's okay. I'm completely fine, I promise. I chose to help you willingly; no one coerced me. I wanted to assist you, Kira. Remember your value," he stated, looking ahead without meeting my eyes.
Despite his avoidance, I sensed his genuine care and affection towards me, so I simply nodded, grateful to have someone like Naruto beside me. Thank goodness for his presence in my life.
"Thanks, Naruto. For everything," I whispered softly, feeling him draw me closer with a smile and a chuckle as we reached our homes.
Despite his reluctance, he gently set me down as I insisted.
"Oh, and by the way," he began, stealing a glance at me. "Happy birthday," he softly uttered.
"How did you know?" I asked, eyes widening. "Sensei informed me while you were asleep. I'm sorry, I had no idea," he apologized, looking down.
Placing my hands on his face, I lifted his gaze to meet mine. "Naruto, there's no need to apologize. You couldn't have known. Besides, birthdays don't hold the same joy for me anymore," I stated, locking eyes with his beautiful blue ones.
"I understand, but I don't want you to feel this way because of... them," he said, placing his hands above mine and giving them a gentle squeeze.
I sighed softly. "True, but I can't just erase the past," I replied, keeping my voice low to avoid being overheard as we stood outside.
"Kira," he called softly. I looked up to find his lips on mine. It was a moment I had missed.
Wrapping my arms around his neck, he drew me closer. As we caught our breath, we gazed at each other, knowing this was the best gift I could receive.
He really wanted to stay and look after me, but I made sure he went to bed since I was going to do the same. After some convincing, he sighed and nodded, giving me a quick kiss on the lips before heading into his house, just as I did.

Morning had arrived, the day Jiraiya-san was due to visit the Hidden Leaf. I'm thrilled to meet this Sannin.
I'll do my utmost to protect him, ensuring Naruto retains his master and Tsunade stays by his side. Having Jiraiya around will definitely make things better.
