Chapter 9: An Unexpected Survivor

"So when that weird explosion occurred, that was one of the Akatsuki members dying?" Nia was laying on a futon under the sheets next to Naruto as she had her arm under a pillow to support her head more.

Naruto nodded his head. He was laying on his left side facing the girl with his left elbow bent at a certain angle while his palm held his head up.

"It was wild, ya know? We're sure it was Sasuke who wiped out that Deidara guy. So not only has he killed Itachi and Orochimaru, but also that guy. Oh, and we were informed of one other person he managed to get rid of too."

"Who?"

"Remember that Hanshin guy — or, I mean, Fuyuka? Whatever the hell their name was. The one that had us trapped in that genjutsu right before we had brought you to the Leaf and later on tried to kill us in that ice castle?"

Nia gasped. "What? Are you serious? Sasuke killed her? How do you know?"

"Remember Orochimaru's lackey I told you about: Kabuto? It was that guy who told us."

"Wow... I mean, at least that girl isn't terrorizing people with those genjutsus. That was a really rough experience. I thought I was going to die cause it felt so real."

"Oh yeah... that was crazy. In mine, Sasuke killed everybody then that's when the Nine-Tail's stepped in if I'm remembering correctly."

"That was really weird that you were able to get into my own personal torture... I couldn't believe what the heck was happening..."

Naruto responded, "I was able to free Kakashi from his too, I think. It's strange... I was only able to rescue you two."

"Maybe it's because of this?" Nia showed her hand to him that had kanji engraved into it. "Because he and I are guardians, somehow that must've forged a link between you and us two."

"I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case," The blonde then noticed something missing. "Hey, your wounds healed. Last time I saw you, you were wearing bandages around your hand and eye. I forgot all about that — I'm glad you're alright, sweetie."

"Thanks," The girl smiled as she then felt the young man running his finger down her face. "Is... there something wrong?"

Nia waited for an answer as Naruto just kept caressing her cheek.

"Naruto," She called.

"Oh uh, my bad... I was just thinking about how you've been dying to go on a date, right?"

Nia gasped and quickly nodded. "Yes! Yes! Yes! I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, rea-"

"Damn, I get it already," The blonde chuckled. "Yeah, we haven't really been able to do that lately. I can tell it really bothers you that we haven't as often done so."

"Yeah... I love dates. It makes me feel amazing, excited, and alive. I really wanna go on one again, Naruto. Please?"

Though he was flatted to observe how enthusiastic she was, it also made him feel down at the same time.

"Sorry, Nia..." He apologized as this only confused the girl.

"I don't get it... You don't... wanna go on a date?"
