From Create Your Own Story
You and Naruto going out seems to surprise a lot of people...none more so than poor Hinata...you just know that her heart is shattered but...honestly, the girl should have made her move a long time ago. Although...you could have almost sworn that Sakura had seemed a little...disappointed...
You don't force yourself onto Naruto or anything...he's still confused about his feelings and you're willing to give him the space and time he needs...if anything you hug or hold hands.
But then...Jiraiya dies...and you will never forget the way Naruto had looked at you...the accusation in his eyes...or his words.
"You knew." He had said. "You knew and you didn't tell me."
Whatever you had had to say in response to that fell on deaf ears as he walked away...
A few months had gone by before you had finally managed to confront him...
Your knowledge on future events had long run out but you had after all performed a great service to the village and you are given permission to stay.
The moment Naruto spots you; he turns and starts to walk away.
"Naruto please listen to me!" You beg. "Please...just hear me out..."
He stops but doesn't face you.
"There was nothing I could do...nothing that anyone else could have done...it had to happen..."
"Are you saying Jiraiya-sama had to die?!" Naruto rounds on you...you had never seen him so angry.
But you're angry too. "I didn't kill him!" You yell clearly upset. "Do you honestly think I wanted him to die?!" You've started to tremble at this point.
"You could have told me I-"
"You what?!" You yell. "Naruto, you aren't ready! The guy was strong enough to kill one of the legendary Sanin, you wouldn't have stood a chance and-and-" You bite your lip...'You're destined to save the world...' you finish in your thoughts. "I hate it...I hate being so weak! I hate that I knew what was going to happen and being too pathetic to be able to do anything about it!" You're sobbing at this point. "I already hate myself for so many things...So please Naruto...don't you start hating me too..."
"I don't hate you..." He says quietly. "I'm angry...at myself..."
You hesitate...but tentatively place your hand on his shoulder.
He tenses for a moment and you're sure he'll move away but...he doesn't and allows your hand to remain where it is...Just as carefully you rest your forehead between his shoulder-blades and you tense when you feel his hand creep to rest over yours...and so you take a silent comfort in each other's presence...enough had been said.
With some serious training and help from Naruto and the various friends you had made amongst the ninja...you are finally able to call yourself a bonafide kunoichi. And by the time two years roll by, you have attained the rank of Chuunin as well as permission to teach at the academy. You sigh in frustration at the end of another typical day, you had just gotten through a particularly nerve-crushing lesson (it seemed like all the annoying ones had found their way into your class...oh, but you are a patient teacher and you love your students). You hurry to pack up your things and leave, eager to get out and relax.
(A/N: Bear with me...I can't see into the future and foretell just what exactly is going to happen to Naruto but keep in mind that this is still a fan-fic and that I am thus allowed to take my liberties with the story)
'He's probably still at the office with Tsunade...' You think to yourself with a smile as you head for that particular building. You haven't even reached the door and you can hear the commotion of a heated argument going on. You spot Shizune waiting outside, a look of exasperation on her face.
"Shizune-san..." You say to get her attention.
She sighs and offers you an apologetic smile, "Naruto-kun's a little bu-"
"I'm telling you that it's gonna work obaachan!" You hear the energetic ninja's voice holler loudly from inside.
"And I'm telling you that it won't!" Tsunade responds just as loudly.
"How long have they been at it?" You ask. Shizune as you both watch the door and listen to the ruckus behind it.
"A few hours..." She sighs.
"Guess it's time to interrupt them then isn't it?" You grin as you push the door open and stick your head in.
Tsunade and Naruto are still engaged in their heated argument and take no notice of you...but you won't put up with being ignored for long...least of all being ignored by your blonde idiot.
"Ow!" Naruto exclaims when your shoe makes contact with the back of his head. You had taken it off and thrown it.
He turns around angrily, annoyance plastered all over his face.
Hand on your hips you give him a frown of your own, "I come all the way over here to see you after a long day of work and all you do is ignore me!" You say with mock indignation.
"Did you really have to throw your show at me, Kimiko-chan?" Naruto sighs as he rubs at the back of his head and gives you the hurt puppy treatment.
You hate it when he does that...mostly because he knows full well that you can't resist it.
Your eye twitches briefly as you try to resist for a time-span of three seconds before you rush over to him and give him a crushing hug.
"Was your day really so bad that you missed me this much?" Naruto chuckles.
"I always miss you when you're not around..." You mumble burying your face into his chest.
"I missed you too..." He responds softly and tilts your face up for a kiss.
"Ahem..." Tsunade clears her throat and you both smile sheepishly at her...you had kind of forgotten that she still was in the room...
"Naruto..." She sighs. "We'll resolve it tomorrow..."
"Alright Tsunade-obaachan, tomorrow I'll be able to convince you for sure!" Naruto proclaims.
"Just go..." The older woman groans as she rubs at temples. "And don't forget your shoe."
Later
"Ah, Ichiraku's Ramen is the best!" Naruto exclaims and eagerly digs into his meal after uttering an eager "Itadakimasu!"
You smile and watch him eat...two years have gone by and Naruto has barely changed at all...of course there are the physical changes...he'd gotten taller...and 'more handsome' you think. Despite having been labelled the next official candidate for hokage to take over Tsunade (when she sees fit)...Naruto is still Naruto...and you wouldn't want it any other way.
"Kimiko-chan, if you keep staring at me your Ramen will get cold." He points out between mouthfuls, already reaching for his next bowl.
You smile and take care of your own meal.
Even Later
You're currently straightening out Naruto's apartment...you had only been here a few days ago but already he's managed to gather an assortment of clutter consisting mostly of but not limited to empty instant Ramen cups.
"Naruto..." You groan in dismay. "Would it really be too much trouble for you to throw these out?" You indicate the large pile of trash.
"Sorry, Kimiko-chan..." Naruto laughs nervously. "I keep forgetting..."
"Don't worry about it Naruto..." You sigh and go back to what you were doing and eventually Naruto joins in.
"Stay the night?"
"Sure."
Even later than that
You're snuggled up to Naruto underneath the covers. Fully clothed though...you and Naruto hadn't taken things to that level yet and are for the moment quite comfortable keeping it that way.
"Kimiko-chan?" Naruto asks you softly in the darkness.
"Yes?"
"Do..." He hesitates. "Do you want to move in with me?"
"Move in?" You have admittedly thought about it a couple of times...
"You practically live here already..." Naruto responds.
"What with all the time I spend cleaning?" You giggle as Naruto sighs.
"Well...do you?"
"Sure." You smile and Naruto wraps his arms around you.
Elsewhere
In a hospital room.
An older woman sits by a young woman's side.
Two nurses watch her.
"It's so sad..." One of them says. "Her daughter has been in a coma for more than three years now...
The woman turns to look at them, "I...don't feel as bad about it as some of you might think..."
The nurses hastily apologize.
"She's been smiling a lot lately." The woman continues smiling tenderly at the young woman in the bed. "So...at the very least...I am glad that wherever she is...she's found happiness..."
Ending: 24
(A/N I realize that I could have made it longer...but I just felt like ending it there...and I did have a fair bit of trouble writing this thing for some reason...I mean, I feel like a fish out of water not knowing how the story actually progresses after a point...so, I don't want to overdo things...I think Naruto's a really sweet guy and I hope you enjoyed the ending...)
