The True One

Chapter four: The couples' decision

Naruto Uzumaki was sitting far away from Hinata. He was hesitant to come closer to her in fear of things getting way out of hands. Yet that didn't last long before they were sitting closely once again. They both felt like an invisible pull, pulling them together, and creating a comforting presence. Naruto sighs contently when he felt one of Hinata's hand on his, the contact was pleasant and it helps both of them relax further. Hinata smiled shyly at him and Naruto gave her a soft smile as he put his arms around her waist and kissed her forehead.

Hinata put her head on his shoulder and stifles a yawn, she was tired and was trying not to let it show, yet she fail miserably. Naruto turned his attention to her, he notice that she looked tired. "Ne, Hinata-chan, you're tired? Let me take you to bed and have yourself a nap." Naruto said as he gently helps her up and lead her towards the bed. Hinata lay down on the bed and gave Naruto a shy smile while her face turns pink.

"Aren't you going to take a nap with me, Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked shyly.

"Eh? I don't think it would be wise..." Naruto began to say rubbing his head nervously.

"Ano... Why wouldn't it be wise my dear, Naruto-kun? Surely sleeping at the same bed isn't something to be worried about." Hinata said as innocently as she could, trying her best to stay awake, and get her way.

"I guess you're right, Hinata-chan, I mean it's only a nap and then we have to take you home." Naruto said as he climb into the bed also, putting his arms around his soulmate, and letting her head rest on his chest. Hinata smiled at her small victory, yet she felt sadden that she would have to leave.

"Naruto-kun, can we tomorrow go to the hokage tower? I want to get our papers and the lecture of the soulmates soon." Hinata said sleepily.

"Trying to tie me down to you so soon, Hime?" Naruo said teasing her, expecting her to blush and stuttered especially for her pet name, but to his shock she lifted her head-up and looked at him with what looked like a soft expression.

"What If I am? I want this whole village to know that you're my soulmate. I want it to be official, I want the Hokage to know, I want the villagers to know, I want everybody to know that I'm Naruto Uzumaki soulmate and very proud of it, believe it!" Hinata said with soft smile using his familiar phrase with fondness.

Naruto eyes widen, her words left him stun as he felt familiar warmth in his chest. Naruto never felt so love and accepted before; he opened his mouth and close it again trying to find the right words to say. Yet he couldn't find them and he was left feeling a bit of panic at not knowing what to say, but when he looked into Hinata's eyes he knew he didn't need to say anything... She already knew what he wanted to say even before he did. Naruto was never good with words or expressing his feelings, he had only felt loneliness and sometimes self hate even if he did hide it under a happy mask. But this time he felt his wonded heart begining to mend, he gave the girl in his arms a gently kiss as he pulled the blanket around their bodies.

"Tomorrow is perfect, Hime." Naruto said giving her a true grin.

"Good, now let's go to sleep, Naru-kun. We only have a few hours before I have to go home. This is supposed to be a nap." Hinata said playfully as she rest her head on his chest and close her eyes.

"Of course it's just a nap, after a few hours we will wake-up and I will take you back to the Hyuuga compound." Naruto stated, yet felt his words seemed forced...he tighten his grip on her body as he gently kissed her head before he closed his eyes.

'If I can manage to let go...'

-With Gaara and Sakura-

Gaara had gone from midly anooyed to completly tick off. The pink hair girl wasn't aware of how close she was to suffering a painfull death... If his damn sand manage to corporate with him. It was strange for him, his sand fail to comply with his wishes to eliminate the pest. It also intrigued him the way the girl followed him to his temporary home, demanding his attention and trying to hit him even though she fail miserably (Not for lack of trying...). His mother also seemed to talk quieter since she came along...maybe she also hated the pest? His thoughts on the matter ended when said pest barge into his room looking even more annoyed.

"You're still awake, creep? It's one in the morning." Sakura said annoyed.

"You're still here, Pest? Why?" Gaara asked slightly shock, yet he didn't show it. Sure she followed him here and stayed bagging the door, but it stop several hours ago and he thought she left...

" You creep of course I'm still here! I refused to be ignore and fell asleep on the floor... Ugh, now why the heck are you still awake? You should be sleeping like normal people." Sakura said as she cross her arms.

"I don't sleep." He stated simply.

"You never sleep? Like ever? Since when?" Sakura asked as she came closer to the boy.

"Since a few weeks ago." He said in a montone voice.

Sakura looked shock and her eyes soften in sympsthy, she sat-down at the bed next to him, and pushes him gently over towards her. Gaara was shock when his head landed on her lap, his sand didn't protect him from this or even move to react, his green foam eyes moves to her emerald green ones when he felt her gently stroking his hair and started humming a tone.

"What are you doing, Pest?" Gaara asked confused,

"When I couldn't sleep my mom use to sing me a tone and stroke my hair, so I'm doing it to you. You have to sleep, Gaara. It isn't healthy for you if you stay up so late." Sakura said softly without stopping her movements.

Gaara was surprise by the softness and sincerity of her voice though the most surprising thing was that his mother stops talking. Gaara felt his eyes-lids grew heavy, the silence in his head was blissful, he felt himself lose conciness, but this time he didn't felt lonely or scared this time he felt... Peaceful.

"Pest, tomorrow let's go to the hokage tower and get the paper work done." Gaara said as his eyes close.

"Stop staling and go to sleep, Creep. I will be here when you wake-up so we can go." Sakura said trying to sound annoyed.

Sakura swears she saw Gaara smile just a little as he slept...

-Sasuke and Karin-

Sasuke lay in his bed, sore and tired, he was almost half-asleep when he heard his door open. Sasuke's cold gaze met his soulmate, he was confused at what she was doing in his room when he invited her to stay the night he gave her own room, so why was she in his?

"Karin, what are you doing? Is everything alright?" Sasuke asked as he sat up.

"Hai, Sasuke-kun! I just had a nightmare and wonder if maybe you would let me sleep with you tonight." Karin said shyly, she was fidgeting at his doorway trying to decide if she should enter or not. Sasuke saw this and sigh, he patted this spot next to him in invitation and Karin wasted no time in accepting it. Karin shyly climb the bed, putting her glasses away and shyly wrapping her arms around Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun, thank you!" Karin said softly as she gave him a smile.

"Shut-up and go to sleep. You don't want to annoy me, do you?" Sasuke said as he put an arm around her as he looked at her.

"Of course not, Sasuke-kun! I only want to help you, you're my soulmate, I only want you to accept me." Karin said softly.

"Just go to sleep, tomorrow we must go to the Hokage tower to get our papers." Sasuke said as he close his eyes.

"Sasuke-kun, you want to go tomorrow? So soon?" Karin asked shock.

"The sooner we get it over, the sooner we can decide what to do with our new life together." Sasuke said.

" Our new life together? I-I thank you, Sasuke-kun." Karin said as she close her eyes.

Sasuke open his eyes to glance at the girl on his arms, he sigh as he though about his new life, yet he can't start it no matter if he sign the papers or not. His new life can't start until he kills his brother...

'Itachi, damn you! Even now you seem to ruin my life; I just don't understand why you killed our clan... You were such a good person and the best aniki in the world... I admired you...I loved you! You were my Aniki, I wanted to be just like you! You left me with nothing, but hatred and loneliness... It's my duty to avenge my family, I won't stop still you're dead Itachi Uchiha.'

-Hinata and Naruto-

Naruto felt the rays of sun hit his face, he strangely felt his arms empty, so with his eyes still close he blindly search for his Hime body. After a few fail attempts, he open his eyes to see his bed empty, Naruto started to panic. "Was it all just a dream?" Naruto whisper to himself in dread. He felt disappointed and crush, he went to the bathroom and watch his teeth and face. He look in the mirror in sigh, the dream seemed so real he actually believe it, he wanted it to be real! Damn it why couldn't he have his dream? His thought was cut off when a aroma of food cooking reach his nose and he quickly opened the door. He practically ran towards his small kitchen and saw Hinata there, she was finishing putting the eggs and bacon on the plates, Naruto felt relief entered his body at seeing Hinata.

Hinata was busy with the food that she didn't notice that Naruto was watching her, his eyes were clued to her as she moves around. Hinata started to sing quietly to herself and Naruto heard it mesmerize, for a moment he swears he saw an older version of Hinata carrying a small bundle in her arms singing the same song, it made his heart feel light and at the same time feel it with want. Hinata felt a pair of arms wraps around her waist, Naruto's head was buried in her neck, he gently kiss her neck before mumbling a 'good morning, Hime.'

Hinata giggle and blush. "Good morning, Naru-kun. I just finish making breakfast." Hinata wiggled a little on his arms, trying to move so she could face him, her eyes met his and she smile wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Hime, shouldn't you be in bed and in my arms this morning?" Naruto asked teasingly while he pouted.

"Well, Naru-kun, I am in your arms and it is morning." Hinata pointed out kissing his lips softly.

"Yeah, but thats not what I meant, Hime." He said seriously trying not to show his panic from earlier.

"I'm sorry, Naru-kun. I just didn't want to wake you. You looked so cute when you sleep." Hinata said gaining a blush from her blonde and making her giggle.

"Hime!" Nauto mumble as he burried his face in her neck, his lips grazing the skin there and making Hinata shiver. Naruto smiled at feeling her body so close to him, he pulled back from her neck so he could look at her face, her eyes held so much love, her pale skin carried her usual blush and she was smiling at him shyly.

"We should eat, Hime! As soon as we finish we can get off to the Hokage Tower! Dattebayo!" Naruto said beaming at her before letting go off her waist and pulling her towards the table so that they could eat it. They ate their food in silence; Naruto didn't even complain it wasn't ramen! They finished their meal quickly and Hinata was dragged out of the apartment by her knucklehead soulmate, she giggle softly at his antics and ran next to him. 'I'm finally walking next to you, Naruto-kun. My Naruto-kun.' Hinata though to herself as she looked at Naruto face, she grip his hand tighter as the tower came in sight. When they arrived there, they saw a white hair man already entering the tower, Hinata stopped and in turn Naruto stop also.

"Jiraiya-san?" Hinata shouted in surprise getting the attention of the man and making him turn around.

The man smiled.

"Long time no see, Hime!" Jiraiya said grinning at her shock face.

"What are you doing here? Have you come to..." Hinata stop as Jiraiya raise his hand.

"Yes, indeed I have, Hime." Jiraiya said softly while giving her smile.

Naruto, that had been standing there confused and a bit angry at the scene, finally decided that he had been silent to long. Naruto wrap his arms around Hinata waist and turned his head to look at her, his eyes glared at the man that dare to call his hime his pet name! Naruto felt possessiveness over his hime, he growled at the other man, he had a strange urge to bash his head in.

"Who is the bastard, Hime?" He asked with venom.

"N-Naruto-kun! Don't speak to Jiraiya-san that way!"Hinata scolded startled by her blonde attitude, yet a part of her felt a strange warmth spread to her stomach.

"It's alright, Hime. It's probably the bond that's making him act this way... you guys are soulmates, correct Hime?" Jiraiya asked with a grin.

"Yes, we are, Jiraiya-san." Hinata said blushing.

"Aw, I don't know if I should congratulate you or give you my condolence, Hime. The gaki will certainty be a hand full." Jiraiya joke.

"Oh, yeah, old man? Who the heck are you?!" Naruto asked angrily not licking the joke.

"Oh, I'm the strongest and the most handsome shinnobi around, the famous toad-sage! Jiraiya!" Jaraiya said while posing.

"Well listen here toad-sage or whatever you want to call yourself, I don't care who you are, you don't get to call my hime by a petname. You will address her with respect by her name, Hinata Hyuuga and in a few years Hinata Uzumaki-Hyuuga the future wife of the next Hokage believe it!" Naruto said glaring the man down.

"N-N-Naru-kun, don't be so cold towards Jiraiya-san!" Hinata exclaimed while blushing.

"Why not?" Naruto asked not talking his eyes of the man.

"Because Gaki that is no way to treat your godfather." Jiraiya said smirking.

"WHAT!?"

Naruto shouts was heard all over the village...

~~~~~Sasuke and Karin~~~~~

"Did you heard something, Sasuke-kun?" Karin asked.

"Nope." Sasuke said drinking coffee, knowing full well who that voice belong to but paying to attention to it.

~~~~Sakura and Gaara~~~~

"Ugh, who ever the hell woke me up, my mother will have his blood." shouted Gaara as his eyes snap open.

"Creep, let me sleep. We can kill that Baka later." Sakura said knowing that voice belong to Naruto so she didn't bother to open her eyes.

"Pest, who you expect me to sleep with that racket?" Gaara asked.

"If we're staying in the leaf village you will get use to the racket, trust me, Creep." Sakura said yawing.

Gaara grunted and proceeded to sigh... he hated the leaf village already...
