A frown was presented on my lips the whole entire car ride, my sad eyes watching my house disappear from my view along with my friends and my family.
Naruto drove his usual dodge car with Kurama in the passenger, leaving the backseat open, for me.
Occasionally Naruto would look up into the rear view mirror back at me, every time spotting how sad and depressed I looked.
He let out a sigh, moving his eyes back on the dark road ahead of him. "Oh little one.. Don't look so sad. Things are gonna be different now, alright. I'll go over the new rules once we get home. But, in the meantime, what can I do for you?" He explained softly while looking back at me, our eyes meeting for a split second before I turned away.
At his question, I simply shook my head, my eyes turning to look out of my window once more. I chose not to speak since, I was way too sad to, my lips trembling…
Is this, really goodbye, to my family…
To the people I love?
I know Naruto can be cruel sometimes but I precisely remember him saying that, this, was my final goodbye. Which means…
I won't see them anymore…
I curled up into myself at that, placing my head in my lap. I didn't care if I was exposing myself or not… I just felt torn, broken once again.
And I thought things would be better..
This has to be his secret punishment for me. It has to be…
I bit my lip harshly to keep myself from crying, Naruto's eyes still keeping tabs on me.
He sighed once more and turned to Kurama who only shook his head, giving him a clear indicator to give it a rest.
But, by the unsatisfied look on Naruto's face showed that he would still keep being persistent. I sighed at that, gripping my towel tighter..
Great…
Just great…
"Hinata… Are you hungry, darling? I can stop and, get you something, if you like-" But I quickly shook my head which stopped him dead in his tracks, his eyes saddening.
He nodded. "Fine. It's awfully late anyway. You're probably tired." He added on with another sigh which made me look up at him, my legs dropping completely.
