.......................

Naruto carefully pulled up infront of Konoha Concert Hall. He could already see all the photographers and reporters just waiting to get their hands on him. He grimaced at the thought of all those reports. Naruto looked over at Hinata, she seemed to be pretty nervous. He didn’t blame her. Naruto wasn’t exactly pleased to be greeted by all those reporters and photographers either. He wasn’t going to let Hinata know that though.

Naruto, after he’d stopped the car of course, jumped out, gave the waiting valet the key, and ran swiftly over to Hinata’s door. He opened it for her. Then he took her hand and helped her out of the car. Closing the car door behind them, he draped his arm around Hinata’s shoulder. Hinata was blushing like a madman at this point.

“Sir! Are you Naruto? If you are could you tell us if that’s your girlfriend?” One of the reporters shouted. Naruto instinctively pulled Hinata closer to him as if to shield her from the prying reporters.

“No comment.” Naruto and Hinata bolted inside as fast as they could. They were greeted by an amazing sight. The concert hall was literally filled from wall to wall with people. Every single one of them had come to see Naruto and his friends perform live. Not only that but the concert hall itself was an amazing sight. The ceiling was absolutely breath taking. It was designed to look just like the night sky and they could tell that there were several jutsu’s  at work to make it like that. It also had several beautifully designed balconies. The stage was also intricately designed to match the style of the rest of the concert hall. The concert hall was completely filled with people. It was literally packed from wall to wall.

“Heh heh.. I guess we’re a little late huh?” Hinata nodded in agreement. Naruto handed her something that looked like a backstage pass. “This is your VIP pass, Hinata-chan. You can use it to go backstage and you get special reserved seats way up front.” He checked his watch again. “Aww crap. I really need to get going. I’d escort you to your seat myself, but I’m really late and that Uchiha is probably already pissed at me enough as it is.”

“I’ll be f-fine Naruto-kun.” Hinata assured him with a small smile.”

“If you say so. I’ll see you in a bit okay?” Hinata nodded and Naruto smiled brightly. Then he took off towards the backstage; waving to her as he went. She blushed lightly and waved back. Hinata turned towards the crowd of people anticipating the performance of the Anbu 7 and attempted to find her seat. She didn’t have to look long.


“Hinata over here!!” Hinata turned in the direction of the faint yells. She could see Ino, Tenten, and Sakura a short distance away. Both Ino and Sakura were waving frantically, while Tenten looked as if she was embarrassed to be seen with the two. Hinata giggled lightly.

‘Those two look absolutely ridiculous. They’d kill me if I were to say anything though.’ Hinata hurried through the thickening crowd as fast as she could. The concert was just about to start and she had yet to reach her seat. It seemed like ages before she reached the section marked ‘VIP ONLY’. There was a bouncer standing right outside the VIP marked area, guarding it’s entrance. She flashed her pass and he gladly let her pass.

“Geez Hinata what took you so long huh?” Ino pried suspiciously.

“We just had the wrong time Ino. It was nothing major.” Hinata stated in a deadly calm voice.

“Don’t mind her Hinata. She’s just jealous you’re living with a guy and she’s not. Either that or she’ s just over curious.” Frowned Tenten.

“I am not!” Defended Ino.

“Guys, hush. It’s starting.” Chided Sakura. She was right it was starting. The lights had all turned off and smoke was beginning to issue from the stage. Sparks erupted from either side of the hazy stage causing some people to gasp in awe. Seven dark shilolettes were becoming visible in the fading smoke. Hinata could make out Gaara with his drums in the back, Shino with his keys (Sorry I just had to add Shino!! I can’t believe I forgot him earlier!!), Kiba and Shikamaru with their bass guitars, and Sasuke, Naruto, and Neji up front with their mics and guitars. The crowd let out a deafening roar as the music started.

All around her people where cheering and dancing, but all Hinata could do was stare at Naruto in awe. She watched him sing bravely infront of these thousands of people. He looked completely confident in himself. He never faltered and never tired. He sang every word, never forgetting even one. While he sang, she listened. Hinata could feel all his happiness, anger, joy, sadness, and even love as he stood there on that stage singing. It felt as if he were telling her his entire life story through his songs. Honestly she found it breath taking.

After listening to several songs, a tune that Hinata recognized came across the speakers. ‘This is.... I know this song... it’s that song... the one he sang that night...’

“Ladies and Gentlemen this is gonna be my last song, before I hand the lead over to Sasuke-teme here. I wrote it for a very important person in my life. This person is very precious to me and I hope she will understand what I’m trying to tell her with this song.” Naruto said in a very serious but soft tone that he hardly ever used.

“She’s always been watching me.”

“I can’t believe I never realized it.”

“She’s been there all along.”

“But I’ve never noticed.”

Hinata looked up at her long time crush. Her eyes practically begging him to tell her who he wrote the song for. A part of her wanted to know, while the other was frightened to know. But she knew that she needed to know.

“All my life I’ve been searching for her.”

“But I couldn’t find her.”

“I can’t believe she was right in front of me.”

“I can’t believe I never noticed.”

‘Please understand. I want you to know. I don’t want to keep my feelings a secret anymore!’ Naruto looked into the crowd and found the girl he was looking for. She seemed to be confused about something. Like she was debating on what he was saying. He caught her eye and shot her a cocky grin. She blushed at his antics.

“I spent my days chasing others.”

“Never knowing she was right there.”

“Some people tried to tell me.”

“But I never listened.”

Naruto jumped off the edge of the stage and started to make his way through the crowd. He appeared to be searching for some one. Some one very important to him. All the while he kept singing.

“I kept chasing them.”

“I never stopped to think.”

“I never stopped to look.”

Naruto had finally reached who he had been searching for. No one had expected it, especially not the girl standing right infront of him.

“Never stopped to look right infront of me.”

Hinata’s friends gasped as Naruto took her hand. Hinata herself was blushing immensely. Naruto smiled another one of his famous grins and began to lead her back to the stage with him.

“She’s always been watching me.”

“I can’t believe I never realized it.”

“She’s been there all along.”

“But I’ve never noticed.”

Naruto urged Hinata up the stairs that led up to the stage. He then brought her to center stage. They were standing sideways to the crowd. Hinata was becoming more and more nervous and excited. Naruto took her hand so all could see. Hinata let out a small squeak of surprise, but Naruto paid it no mind. He only grinned and continued to sing.

“Once I realized it.”

“I knew she was the one.”

“The one I’d been searching for.”

Naruto looked intently into Hinata’s pale lavender eyes with his piercing cerulean ones. She understood at once what he was trying to tell her and she instantly relaxed as he wrapped his arms around her.

“I wanna tell her how I feel.”

“I’ve tried so many times.”

“I’ve had so many chances.”

“But I just don’t have the courage.”

Sakura, Tenten, and Ino were all looking up at their best friend. Each one of them had been surprised by Naruto’s actions. Each one of them could hardly believe what was happening. Each one of them were anticipating what was going to happen next. Each one was a little jealous. Each one silently wished their own boyfriends would do something like that for them.

“Now she’s standing right infront of me.”

“She’s taking my breath away.”

“I’m getting weak in the knees.”

“And it’s getting hard to speak.”


“She’s always been watching me.”

“I can’t believe I never realized it.”

“She’s been there all along.”

“But I’ve never noticed.”

Naruto gently let go of Hinata’s hand and swiftly pulled her close to him. To Hinata; it seemed as if the world was melting away around them and all that was left were him and her. Naruto was experiencing the same thing in his own way.

“I’m not gonna fight it anymore.”

“I gotta tell her.”

“I can’t just stand by and watch anymore.”

“I gotta tell her.”

Hinata could feel their faces getting closer. She had dreamed of this moment for so long and now that it was really happening she could hardly believe it was real. There he was standing right infront of her confessing his love to her and preparing to kiss her. It all just seemed too good to be true.

“I just hope it’s not too late.”

He leaned in a little closer; their lips only inches apart.

“Cause I gotta tell her.”

His lips hovered just mere centimeters above hers as he barely whispered his last line.

“Gotta tell her I love her.”

.......................

“Hinata? Earth to Hinata! Hello?! Hinata snap out of it already!” Shouted a very peeved Ino.

“Huh? What did you say?” Hinata broke out of her dazed state.

“Finally! I’ve been trying to get your attetion for like the last half an hour!”

“Half an hour?”Asked a very shocked Hinata.

“Yeah you like missed the last half of the concert! What were you day dreaming about anyways?” Curiously asked Ino.

“N.. nothing...” So she had only been dreaming? I had seemed so real. She sighed and cursed a herself inwardly. She should have known. Things like that only would happen in her dreams; day dreams or otherwise. Slightly embarrassed she followed Ino to the stage entrance where they were going to meet the boys.

.......................

(I’d bet your all asking what Kakashi was doing during all this right? Well....)

Kakashi was lounging at his desk, watching his two ‘star pupils’ thoroughly wash all the desks in his now sparkling classroom. He smirked when he thought of what he was going to make them do next. He was growing a little bored though and decided to turn on the tv. The only thing that was on was a debut concert for a band called Anbu 7. Heck why not watch it right? Then he saw them, his ‘star pupils’. He frowned. He knew something had been wrong.

“Oh I’m gonna get those two when they come to school tomorrow. Oh.. Wait tomorrow is Saturday... Oh well that just gives me more time to think of a grueling punishment.” Kakashi picked up two pieces of chalk and threw them at the shadow clones working earnestly at the desks. They poofed away as the chalk made contact. He was defiantly going to make their lives a living hell for that little stunt.
