Chapter 2: Truth Revealed and Feelings Returned

...

(Recap)

"NO HINATA DON'T"

"DON'T WASTE YOUR LIFE OVER THE DOBES'"

"YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR"

These were what her teammates yelled rushing to stop her from ending her life. They didn't make it. Blood splattered the ground and everyone stood dumbfounded at what they just saw, because it would haunt their nightmares for years to come.

...

Hinata waited for the pain to come, but it never did.

'Is this death, no pain, no suffering, just the release of life' thought Hinata.

She heard the soft drip of blood falling on the grass; she opened her eyes and looked down. The first thing she noticed was the tan hand that was impaled by her kunai. The second she noticed everyone else was too far away for it to be their hand. Thirdly she didn't see Narutos' body where she left it. Lastly she noticed the orange sleeve connected to the hand.

'Orange' she thought questioningly. She only knew one shinobi who wore orange. Slowly she turned her head and saw the face of her one true love.

'He's alive' she thought.

"Hey Hina chan, now why would you want to send that kunai into your pretty neck. It wouldn't do to give yourself too many scars" said Naruto with a small smile on his face looking deeply into her lavender eyes. His eyes seemed to sear her soul, for in them she saw all the love and devotion he had always shown Sakura but multiplied at least ten times maybe more.

"Naruto kun" she said in a soft voice not daring to believe what she was actually seeing. A thought occurred to her,

'What if it's just a genjutsu?'

"Kai" she said after forming the ram seal with her hands.

"It's not a genjutsu Hina chan, I'm the real deal" said Naruto as he swept down planting a chaste kiss right on the lips.

'Naruto kun is kissing me' was the only thought running through her head.

"Now on to other matters, you can come out from hiding" called Naruto to the trees behind everyone. They all jumped when five ANBU appeared. Not one of them sensed that they were there not even Kakashi.

"How did you know gaki" asked an ANBU with a bear mask.

"I've out paced hoards of ANBU remaining hidden from everyone even the hokage, and you think I wouldn't be able to sense you. Pathetic, the only thing you were masking were your chakra signatures but even then it wasn't sufficient to hide from me. Even if it was I could still hear you, see you, smell you, and feel the vibrations in the air from your presence. I mean honestly you don't gain the ability to hide from ANBU without being able to know how to find them. What you guys just did there was kid stuff compared to me" ranted Naruto surprising everyone by calling out the ANBU. The ANBU in question were just dumbfounded that they had been schooled by not only a genin but the dobe of the academy. They were about to respond when,

"NARUTO KUN" Hinata recovered from her shock and tackle glomped Naruto.

"See you finally found your voice, Hina chan" he said embracing her back.

"I thought I lost you, and I never told you how I really felt" she sobbed into his chest.

"It's okay Hina chan, I'm not going anywhere for a long time, I promise. And I never break my promises that's my nindo" he said holding her tighter, yet still gently like fragile glass. To Hinata it was a feeling of comfort and protection; it was the greatest feeling in the world. Nobody (except for Kakashi) wanted to break up such a tender moment but they needed answers, and Kakashi was the one who wanted them the most.
