Lavender Love Beauty

Chapter 32

Sakura signed with relief when she finished telling Naruto what happened.

"So that's what happened, everybody saw the true me I guess…" Naruto said sadly.

"Even Hinata.," Naruto whispered to himself.

"Naruto it wasn't your fault! Quit blaming yourself for the Kyuubi's doing!" Sakura snapped angrily.

"I put everyone in danger! Sakura you just. You just…" Naruto couldn't finish his sentence.

"I what!" Sakura said angrily.

"You just don't understand!" Naruto snapped angrily for the first time at her.

Sakura took a step backward, she'd only seen Naruto angry when they were close to getting Sasuke, or if one of his friends got hurt. This was a whole different anger Sakura had just seen from Naruto.

What Sakura noticed was that it wasn't the type of terrifying anger that Naruto had right now. His anger was filled with loneliness, sadness, terror, and anger. Sakura guessed what her teammate was thinking about.

When we were little. Naruto you were so alone, nobody acknowledged you as a citizen of Konoha, they just thought you were a troublesome child.. they were afraid of you.. because of that.. demon. The only person who really acknowledged you were.. Sakura looked down at Hinata who was asleep on Naruto's lap. Was Hinata.

"Naruto you're not alone, even when you were young there was always that one person who acknowledged you, who watched you. Who loved you for you." Sakura said.

Naruto's sudden anger vanished instantly after what Sakura said.

"Loved me..? Who on earth could love someone like me?" Naruto chuckled sadly before turning his face towards the window to look out at the rainy day.

"I'll let her tell you when the right time comes," Sakura said.

Hinata finally stirred from her sleep. Opening her eyes she saw that Naruto-kun was looking out the window.

"N-Naruto-kun your awake!" Hinata said relieved.

"Oh sorry, Hinata did I wake you?" Naruto said looking down at Hinata's face.

"Huh?" Hinata said, looking at the situation Hinata realized she fell asleep on his lap.

Hinata shot up instantly, "S-sorry! Id-didn't m-mean to fall asleep on y-your l-lap Naruto-kun!" Hinata apologized bowing her head.

"Hinata it's alright, it felt nice to know someone was watching over me," Naruto said with a gentle smile.

Hinata's face went completely red at his warm gaze.

"T-that's good to h-hear," Hinata said looking down with a warm smile.

"Well if you need anything to be sure to call me," Sakura said, and with that, she took her to leave.

Naruto relaxed against his bed with a sigh of relief.

"U-um I should g-go so I don't c-cause you a-anymore trouble," Hinata said shyly as she began walking she felt her arm being tugged.

"No!" Naruto said.

"H-Huh?" Hinata looked at him confused.

"I-I mean don't go, you won't cause me trouble I actually like having you around," Naruto said with a big grin on his face along with a blush.

"O-Okay," Hinata said shyly as she sat back down.

After a few moments of silence, Naruto spoke.
