----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------

Me and Sasuke stood on either side of the door. To my surprise not many people where here yet. It was now 8:50A.M and people have finally started to arrive. One of the first to arrive was the man who owned the ramen shop, the one Naruto always went to, with him was his daughter. They both walked in after bowing and giving me their condolences. I was surprised. I did not think they would come. I did not think their relationship was more the an owner customer relationship. Well I guess he was close to Naruto, after all Naruto has been going to that same Ramen shop since he was in the academy, and he has seen Naruto had grown up right in front of his eyes. He watched as he grew from a brat, to a young adult that was still naive and immature, then into a mature man that had a loving wife and was soon to be a loving father. That was not to happen Naruto will never see his child‘s face. Just thinking about that made me sad but I did not cry not yet. When I looked forward again I see three more people walking up. It was Sai, Sakura and Kakashi. Unlike Kakashi’s normal self he was not reading his book he was in all black his mask was a deeper shade of black then normal. When they walked up they looked over at Sasuke. I could tell they where shocked to see him. But I guess they figured this was not the time to say anything about him.

Then I heard Kakashi’s voice as he bowed and he said “I am sorry for your loss”

I then replied shakily not really sure what to say “thank you for your concern”
Sakura and Sai did the same and then followed Kakashi into the church. By that time I was on the verge of tears. Why? Well I did not even no my self.

I soon spotted Jiraiya walking up. Normally when he came around he would act like a perv. He looked at my chest or deep into my eyes and give some phony line, then Naruto showed up and knocked him out or something to that extent. Today was different even he a sanin was highly affected by Naruto’s death. I know Naruto touched many people including myself but I never thought to this extent. I never new people cared about Naruto like this. Many of the people that looked most affected from his death treated him badly. That included Sasuke. Jiraiya bowed and walked in with out saying much.
At 8:58 A.M two minutes before the start of the funeral I was about to walk into the church. Before I walked in a seen someone out of the corner of my eye. I could see red hair. I was surprised when I turned around it was Garra. He was someone I never expected to show up here. Especially because I believed him to be in the sand village. It was the Kazakage Garra of the desert so I was surprised. It was true Naruto broke allot of Garra’s social barriers and burrowed deep into Garra’s heart, but he just did not seem the type to show up in public with his feeling. I could clearly tell Garra had been crying. His red puffy seemed to prove the fact he cried his eyes out before he arrived. I think he did it so he did not show it during the funeral no matter how sad he was. Although he now had the same emotionalist face you could tell he missed Naruto, or was I the only one who could tell.

Garra bowed and I heard him say to him in a hushed yet harsh tone “sorry for your loss… but it is your fault he is dead” he then left, and walked into the church,.

My eyes widened and I felt my heart crack more, if that was possible. Tears formed in the corners of my eyes but I refused to cry so once in my life I held them back. Then I said softly to myself “did Garra just say it was my fault Naruto Died that day”. I do not know if Sasuke heard me then. After a few moments as if answering some sort of prayer, he walked up to me then he placed his arms around me and whispered. “ don’t worry Hinata, what ever Garra said is not true, he is upset don’t believe him”

Sasuke kept his arms around me and I just stood there.

I wanted to believe him so badly but I could not then I said allowed. “It was true I could have gotten there sooner or, or” that is when I burst out crying and I broke myself from Sasuke’s grasp, and I ran to the park across the street, I sat under a tree. I could see Sasuke wanted to chase after me but he could not he was pulled into the church. The funeral had started. I wanted to go back but I could not bring myself to do so. I just slumped against the tree and cried furiously. then I heard a voice say.

“I knew you would show up here today”

Opening my eyes and looked at the man I could not see him clearly, my vision blurred my a coating of tears. I recognized the voice it was Neji I then said.
“what….do….you…want” I said this threw my cries.

“you don’t remember” he knelt down wiping away my tears gently. “do you?”

I shook my head no I was not in the mood to talk. I tried to hold back my tears again it worked for now.

“this is” Neji looks at the sky. “the same place and time you confessed your love for Naruto, I remember”

Hinata looked at him with shock, how was he able to remember. It has been so many years. It was December 28th the day after my 16th birthday and the day I confessed my love at 9:05A.M exactly 6 years ago. We had gotten married in this park as well 3 years ago on December 28th. I could not take it any more I was so upset I buried my head on the frozen ground bellow. I was crying I wanted to know why such a happy day in the past could become so miserable now. This is was the day I confessed my love to him and he accepted, this was also the same day we got married and now it was the same day he was to be buried. I was living up to my reputation of being the most sensitive ninja around. I did not care, even if he died a hero he was not supposed to die not yet not now. He was far to young far to kind but most of all to many people cared about him.

I soon felt a warm presence over me it was not Neji. Neji was just standing there he was not good at comforting. I sat up. I then felt a warm presence press against my belly. I looked down and I could have sworn I seen Naruto’s hand on my stomach over the baby where his hand had been before he died. then I felt the baby kick and then I remembered what Naruto said to me that day. I still remember it, it gave me some comfort ‘Remember I love you and our unborn child’

The words rang threw my head like some sort of sweet melody. I slowly stood up and I began to walk to the church again. I still had some tears falling from my eyes. I did not go into the church I just sat out side of the church and listened, it was half way threw and I did not want to barge in. I was his wife but that gave me no right to barge in. Neji had followed me. I waited for a time where they would not be paying attention when I snuck in and Neji snuck in as well taking his seat next to TenTen. TenTen was his wife to be, they where engaged to be married.
I sat down next to Sasuke in the front row along with tsunade and Jiraiya. When the rest of the group opened there eyes Sasuke looked over at me and I seen him mouth ’are you okay’ I nodded slightly and turned to the priest who was talking.

After funeral and burial

I looked at Naruto’s gravestone and I traced his name with my finger then I wiped away my tears and stood up and walked back to the group with Sasuke. Sasuke stopped as I kept walking and I heard him say “goodbye dope”

Hearing that made me smile I bit. Then Sasuke walked catching back up to me and we continued walking. We walked to the group of people waiting.

1)Sakura 2)Kiba 3)Shino 4)Garra 5)lee 6)Kakashi 7)Ino 8)Choji 9)Shikamaru 10) TenTen 11) Neji

we all where asked to come to Ichiraku’s for a free diner. we agreed and walked down there. When we got there I sat at the bar as the rest of them sat at a table there was a seat for me as will I just wanted to think for a bit. We all ordered. we all ordered Miso ramen it was Naruto’s favorite. While I was at the bar I looked at the owner and said.

“can I have a shot of tequila”

“are you 21 or older” he asked me

“yes I turned 21 yesterday” I handed him my ID.

He nodded and went into the back. I felt someone staring at me well more then one person I turned, and the rest of the group and they looked at me like I was crazy. “what is it” I asked

Sakura looked at me and said “why are you getting alcohol”

“because I am 21 and I can get it if I want to” I blurted out

“fine then we are all getting one.” Sakura said as the rest of the group nodded walking over to the bar and sitting down.

“hey Hinata is it safe with the baby and all” Sasuke asked

“yeah I can have one not like I am getting drunk so it is okay”

Sasuke nodded.

Sakura also said “yeah it is fine as long as you take this” Sakura handed me a small round pill and a took it with out anything to swallow it with.

When the man came back Sakura said “we need 11 more shots”

The man nodded and took out the other small shot glasses and he placed one in front of each person. Then he pours the drinks.

I looked at the drink and picked it up then Sakura said as they all picked up there drinks “on the count of three”

“1”

Me and the rest of the group put the shots up to our lips.

“2”

Me and the group tips the glass slightly

“3”

We drink the tequila

I smiled happily I liked the way it tasted not like I was going to get it again but when I peered over to the rest of them the only ones that did not look like they where going to puke where, Garra, Sasuke, Neji, and TenTen. The rest looked sick. I laughed. This was the first time I laughed since Naruto’s death.
The rest of the group smiled then Sakura seems like she just realized something. This happened as they where eating.

She pointed at Sasuke and said “YOUR BACK”

I laughed once again.

“YEAH” I heard Sasuke say back

“WHYHOWWHEN?” she said her voice jumbled together.

“I brought Hinata and Naruto’s body back to the village” Sasuke said

“oh… why?”

“well I was horribly injured because I had just killed orochimaru and Itachi attacked and Naruto showed up and you know the rest.”

I was sitting there smiling some how I felt a but better. I have felt better since the incident in the park. Then with out warning I passed out. that’s the last thing I remember from that night.
