Chapter 7: Special Person

-:-:-:-

People have special people they hold dear to their heart.

For me, it's my mom, dad, my close friends, and then my two best friends Sasuke and Hinata. I would do anything for them. Anything.

But because I cherish them so much, sometimes I don't tell them what's bothering me because I'm afraid of worrying them. It's not good to do that. But sometimes it happens. And usually I never tell one specific person that I hold even dearer to my heart: Hinata.

-:-:-:-

I have this really big problem with Karin and her group. Especially Suigetsu. The guy just doesn't do well with me. We fight each other a lot and he gets on my nerves. He's always trying to one up on me.

But I guess I wasn't careful enough. Because when you have a jealous girl and a guy who likes to play with girls put together, you get a nasty butt-biting combination. I know what you're thinking, but we're not there yet.

Karin really likes Sasuke. To the point where she knows his lisence plate number. I mean who in the world remembers someone's lisence plate number?

And Suigetsu is a player. I don't know why, girls dig silver hair and sharp teeth or something, but he ends up breaking a girl's heart all the time. He even uses them, but I'm not getting into that. Let's just say I was upon the scene and was disgusted. He's such a bastard.

But getting on to the point. Karin, jealous of Hinata, asked Suigetsu to do some dirty work. Karin wanted Suigetsu to play Hinata. Of course Hinata isn't like that, so he forced himself on her. Yeah. He did.

Now this is why I am so angry with Hinata. She knew Suigetsu was playing her, but she didn't tell me. She told Sasuke, and I'm okay with that, but I'm also very tired of her not telling me stuff. When Sasuke told me to look out for Suigetsu because he had an appointment at the doctor's and I asked him why, he told me that Hinata was being played with by Suigetsu. It got me really mad. I went to find her to talk to her about it, but instead I found Suigetsu trying to feel Hinata. You bet he had bruises and blood drawn. I about done his excuse-of-a-life.

He was laying there unconcious on the grass by the wall and I was wiping away some of the blood from my cheek.

"Fudging bastard. No one touches Hinata."

I turned to Hinata, who was in shock from the sudden fight, and hugged her. Don't ask. I don't know why, OKAY?

"Oh my god Hinata, I'm going to punch you right now if you don't tell me the fudge why you didn't tell me about Suigetsu. I know you knew he was after you. Oh crap, now I'm speaking like some idiot! My English doesn't even sound right!"

She hugged back and started crying.

"You are so stupid Naruto! I- I... what if you got hurt?"

She bawled against my shirt and I completely threw away the fact that she was hugging me.

"I don't give a damn if I get hurt! Gosh! You make me SO MAD Hinata! Why don't you ever tell me anything?"

I nearly kissed her. I almost did. Trust me, I was so angry, so hurt, and so glad and happy that she was safe. I wanted to kiss her and make sure that she was safe and real.

But I didn't. Halfway through the process where I suddenly held her an arms lenght away and stared into her bright, teary eyes, I stopped and bumped my forehead against hers.

She looked surprised and then she simmered down and touched my face with her two soft hands.

"I'm sorry Naruto, I'm so sorry."

I sighed heavily and crushed her with my hug, burying my face into her neck.

"Shut up. From now on just tell me what's going on. I don't give a crap if I'm hurt if you are safe. Gosh Hinata, did I say you make me so MAD?"

She half-laughed, half-cried against my hair.

"Yes, you did... I'm sorry, I'll tell you things that bother me from now on."

I smiled.

"You better. Or else I'm going to... going to... going to... uh... lecture you to oblivion!"

She half-laughed, half-cried. And then she snuggled into me. And I'm going to say it. I didn't let her go until Suigetsu started mumbling and I kicked him.

I didn't know he ruined moments too.

Gosh... I just REALLY DISLIKE him.

But then Hinata closed the distance and pecked me on the lips.

"I... thanks Naruto. I didn't want you to worry, but the truth about why I didn't tell you is because I like you and it became harder and harder to hide it."

Suigetsu mumbled again, but I didn't hear him.

"What about Sasuke?"

Hinata tilted her head, "I told him I didn't like him."

Suddenly the world bloomed with roses and the sun light gloriously presented itself behind Hinata.

"I REALLY LIKE YOU TOO HINATA!"

And all was well.
