The Fox God's reincarnation

Chapter 19

Naruto

Tears were forming in the corner of my eyes. My vision is getting blurry as I stare at the nonchalant man before me. He is dead ass serious. There is no way he is joking about this kinds of things.

My Kaguya is alive.

She's alive!

"T-then . . . if . . . i-if she's alive . . . W-where is she?" I could barely talk, Hiccups were arousing between the words I utter.

I just can't.

"Where?!"

Hamura Otsutsuki just stared at me blankly.

"She's in the place you call home."

"What-"

"I cannot give you more hint. You say that you love her, right? then let your love for her be the guide for you to find her."

With that, I slowly fell into a deep slumber.

In my dream as I sleep, I went to my shrines, the places I consider my home. I have thousands of shrines. I have lots of homes.

So . . . if I consider my shrines as my home, then does that mean that Kaguya is at one of my shrines?

Where?

In what place?

Why do they keep in hiding her away from me?!

I've been longing for her embrace.

Kaguya . . . where are you?

Hinata

Where are you, my beloved?"

I woke up in a black space, I'm floating. And everything is black. Like a blank space. It felt like a dream. I'm sure it is.

But that voice. That voice doesn't seem like a dream at all. It sounds so true.

It came from somewhere I don't know. It seems far, yet near. Loud, yet faint. It seems like it was from someone I know, yet I can't decipher who. Familiar, or maybe not?

"Where are you? I've been longing for your embrace." That doesn't sound like he is asking, it sounds like he is begging.

The man's voice. He was crying, asking repetitively. Where is his beloved?

"Where are you?"

As I hear him again, I realized that his voice is familiar. It's like I heard it before. I don't know where, or when, or how. But i just knew. Deep inside me, my soul recognized the voice I'm hearing.

"Where are you, please." The man cries again. And suddenly, everything around me just changed.

I just found my self standing in a white surrounding. No other color, no trees, buildings, just White. Seconds had passed and a man with long golden hair appeared infront of me. His back was facing me as he was sitting down and . . . wait is he crying?

My body ok automatically moved on its own and I just found my self slowly walking towards him.

"Where are you?"

I stopped for a moment. So the voice was his'.

He is the owner of the voice I kept on hearing.

He is looking for his beloved.

I continue walking towards him, and as I reach a feet-distance, my hands rose to touch his shoulder but it froze the moment he spoke.

"Where are you Hinata? My beloved."

And everything just went blank.

"..nata . . . Hi . . . nata. Hinata." I woke up, realising that I fell asleep. I looked at my cousin who has been shaking me for some time now.

"Oh . . . I fell asleep." I immediately sat up as I concurrently rub my eyes— trying to adjust to my surrounding. I realized that I'm currently at my cousin's supposed room. Yeah, I fell asleep while cleaning the room. Well, it's already done anyway, the sheets were already cleaned, and I only slept at the couch near the bed.

"I told you, I'd clean the room instead." He said. "Now you got tired, and the foods are cold." His brows were furrowed as he gaze at me with so much concern. I just smiled at him, assuring him that I'm fine.

"I'm not tired, just sleepy." I stood up with enthusiasm, swinging my hands one time before resting it on my waist. "Now let's heat up the foods, and eat. What time is it?"

"Time for dinner, kiddo!" he stood up, with the same enthusiasm as me, smiled, and pulled me out of the room.

Together, we went down to the kitchen, heat up the foods, and ate lunch. He volunteered to wash the dishes and was so persistent about it.

"Where is Bolt? haven't seen him." I was holding Bolt's bowl, I already filled it with his favorite treat but he is nowhere to be found. Usually, whenever he hears that I'm putting treats to his bowl, he is already before me, wagging his tail, and waiting patiently. But today, it seems different. "Where is he?"

"I haven't seen him either, Hinata." Neji commented from the kitchen, he still haven't finished doing the dishes.

"Could he be in the room?" I asked myself. But I don't think that's possible.

"Just put it there, he'll come back if he is hungry." Neji said.

But I can't helo but think of any possibility of why Bolt is not here. What if he's lost again just like last time? what if something happens to him? I just can't shake that feelings off.

I sighed as I went back to the kitchen, I was frowning when I placed the bowl to Bolt's 'usual' place.

"He'll be fine. Don't worry too much." I gazed at Neji who was already wiping his hands with a towel. "If you need me, I'll be at the room okay? don't go out, it's already dark. Can I borrow your laptop?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, I'll go upstairs now." He tapped my shoulder before walking pass me, on his way to the staircase.

"Where the hell is that puppy?" I asked my self. I started looking for him in the corners of the house. In the loundry room, bathroom, the kitchen, the comfort room, the living room, the backyard, the frontyard, but I can't see him everywhere.

I suddenly felt panick, with some unpleasant thoughts popping into my mind, I hurried running into the Neji's bedroom to ask him to come with me and look for Bolt. But before I even held the knob or knock on his door. My eyes were covered by a pair of warm, hands.

I frozed.

It couldn't be Neji. I know him, his presence, his hands. It's not Neji!

I was about to shout, as a breath fanned my ears, I frozed even more.

"Hi Hinata, I'm back."

It's Naruto!
