What She Lacked {Naruto X OC}

Go ~ Yumiko

Naruto is so sweet. We went to Sakura's and he held my hand. I didn't know if it was on purpose or accidental, but I liked it.

He cares about me liked no one has ever. Specially like my family. They just threw me away to another village, hoping I could survive. And it was my own luck that I did, they didn't do really anything to keep me alive.

But I strongly believe in Naruto being my savior, even if he wasn't the one to take care of me when I blacked out at Konoha's gates. Even if he wasn't, he is saving my life. He doesn't give me daily meds for curing my trauma, but his voice cures my worst phobias alone.

Yesterday, he wanted me to meet his friends, I think he knew I was lonely. I appreciated that, just to think that someone cares about how I am feeling, it feels marvelous.

But I don't know, is this stupid? The fact that a kunoichi like me can feel weak at the thought of another. I should concentrate in studies, and training, but whenever I hear the door shut, and his fast steps go up the stairs, I just want to smile and hug him. And thank him, for saving my life so simply.

"Yumi-chan?! I am home!" I could hear his voice manage in between heavy breaths, he came home running.

I suddenly lit up, and shut my book closed, as I headed towards him. I could still hear his unstoppable breathing as I went down the steps quietly, he was there. Slouched over the couch, with his orange hoodie half open.

"Oi, Naruto." I said as he caught sight of me. "Intense training?" He rubbed his head lazily and closed his eyes for a second.

"It was more tiring to get here..." The blonde grinned cutely, as I sat beside him.

We started to talk, and every time I heard his voice, I thanked myself for having it say the right words.
