Chapter Twenty-Six

"So how does it feel to be able to date me freely?" Naruto smirked as Hinata gave a slight chuckle.

"It feels nice..."

"That's the thing Hinata chan..." Naruto said as Hinata continued playing the piano.

"Hm?"

"You're never one for complicated reasonings. You express yourself so simply that it's so transparent... And that's what makes people feel what you feel... Your sincerity..." Naruto smiled at his girlfriend.

"Well... I told my father that I was happy being with you... He said that was the exact same answer my mother told him when she agreed to marry him..." Hinata answered gently.

Naruto's eyes softened and he suddenly pulled out his handphone.

"Hinata chan... There's something I wanna show you..." he began and Hinata stopped playing before turning to him.

"Yes?"

"Listen to this music box piece... Tell me what you think about it..." Naruto said as he unlocked his phone and went to his iTunes to play it.

They both listened to the piece and Hinata looked into his blue orbs.

"It's... It's beautiful... Who's the composer?" Hinata stuttered and Naruto's eyes became sad.

"My dad... My dad was the composer... He composed it for my mum... But in some of the videos he left me, he told me he can never figure out the full song for this piece... He wanted to use this full piece to play at the competition before he got murdered..."

"Murdered? I thought you said he got into an accident?"

"Well... Sasuke's and my parents got into an accident since they were all together in the same limo to some business event... Obito Uchiha, Sasuke's far relative was in charge of the case and the Uchiha Police Department suspected foul play but no one was arrested due to lack of proof..."

"But... any suspects?"

"A few but the possibility ranges so there's no one that was highly suspected..." Naruto shrugged off the matter as he bit his lip and looked at the piano.

"I wish I'm good enough to finish composing the song... It would be like some kind of closure for me you know... Like this is the last thing I could do for my parents..."

Hinata stared at her blonde boyfriend before cupping his face to look at her.

"Hey don't be sad! You promise me that we're going out for dinner with your cousins tonight aren't you?"

Naruto's blue eyes sparkled as he nodded his head like a child.

"Yea! I can't wait to introduce you to Karin and Nagato! You'll love them for sure!"

*~*

"So when you said a nice place, you meant another ramen restaurant?" Karin sighed as Nagato shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, ramen is nice."

"Only Naruto can eat ramen everyday!" Karin argued back. "Very soon his body specimen will be made up of ramen!"

"Guys guys! Please! Don't bicker in front of Hinata chan!" Naruto chided and Karin elbowed Nagato before turning to Hinata.

"So sorry you had to witness one of the Uzumaki's bickerings!" Karin apologised sincerely and Hinata shook her head.

"Ano... It's fine Karin. It's nice to see you guys being tight-knitted..."

"So what do you want to know about Naruto? Ask us anything and we'll tell you everything. Even his dirtiest secret." Nagato winked as Hinata blushed madly.

"Oi! Whoever gave you that permission?!?" Naruto yelled as Karin laughed evilly.

"Oh I have a good one. Hinata, you gave me your number just now didn't you? I'll Whatsapp you something..." Karin began but Naruto lunged over the table at her.

"Hell no Karin you are not sending her anything!!!" Naruto shouted in desperation as the other customers began looking at them.

"Ano... Naruto... You're making a scene..." Hinata began but he already got Karin's cell phone and smirked at her.

"Heh... Now I'll keep a hold on this till I send Hinata home..."

When suddenly, a loud recording was played from Nagato's phone...

"Because I would have cheated behind your back for Hinata. I would still have left you in the end Shizuka... I would have cheated on you for Hinata... She's everything to me..."

Everyone's eyes snapped to Nagato who was looking at his phone and his eyes slowly looked up at the other three...

"Oh... Karin cut and edited the recording for me. She sent me the video this afternoon but I was too busy to open it. I just opened it now though..."

"Yea no shit Sherlock!" Naruto growled as he lunged at Nagato.

Meanwhile Karin was bursting into laughter as Hinata blushed like mad...

Nagato held his phone up high and frowned.

"Whoa hold on cuz'. If you wanted to hear it again all you have to do is just tell me, jesus..." Nagato complaint as he pressed play again.

The recording played all over again and Nagato high-fived Karin while Naruto gave up and hugged Hinata.

"I'm sorry..." the blonde began but Hinata gave a small smile.

"Did you really mean what you said?" she asked meekly and Naruto's eyes widened as he nodded his head.

"Then good... I'm happy that's how much I mean to you..." Hinata whispered as she clutched Naruto's hand tightly under the table...
