Last chapter... 😭😭

I hope you all enjoy!! 😊

Hinata's P.O.V

I woke up with a yawn, sitting up happily from where I laid.

Wow, it feel so good to wake up in my own bed. I was so happy..

I looked over slowly and saw Naruto sleeping soundly in his spot, his eyes closed still and the blankets wrapped over him snuggly.

I cooed at him, his face showing signs of peace.

I truly like that face on him.. It suits him.

I smiled and looked around the room, our curtains covering up the window by the Tv, keeping out the sun.

So, the room was still a little dark, which gave it a more peaceful aura.

I sighed and laid back down, getting close as I can to Naruto, my fingers coming up to run through his wild blonde hair.

Hmm.. it seems like he needs a haircut soon.

He smiled in his sleep at my touch, his hand coming over to hold me close. "Mmm.. Hinata." He whispered out making me giggle, his eyes blinking open slowly.

He stared at me with lazy..

Wait..

My eyes shot wide open as I got a look at his eyes. His eyes were.. back to normal.

They both.. were blue.

He smiled up at me and rubbed my hips underneath the blanket, his eyes staring back at my widen ones.

He chuckled but lifted up and kissed my lips, my face still stunned. "What? You like what you see?" He whispered out seductively making me blush, my mouth closing from being opened.

I stared at his morning sexy look, his tongue slowly licking his lips and his hand rising up to run through his blonde hair.

Overall.. He looked sexy..

Too sexy..

I squirmed in my place but I shook my head, getting rid of those thoughts, returning to the problem that was staring at me, directly in the face.

What, the hell, happened to his eyes? They were, once. coming back..

But now, they're normal. I actually forgot how he looked with blue eyes.

How weird.

He stared into my eyes deeply and tilted his head, his eyes suddenly widening which surprised me..

"No way. No fucking way. That means!"

He shouted suddenly and hopped up, running towards the mirror in our room.

I sat up once more and stared at him in worry, his sudden excitement scaring me a bit.

What, happened for him to be so excited?

How is his eyes back?

He stared at himself and saw that he indeed had his blue eyes back, he testing them a bit.

I just stared at him as he stared into his reflection in the mirror, his eyes growing darkly making me gasp.

He gasped too and backed away, a huge grin on his face. "Yes! I have them back. He was right. That, was, actually a good fucking idea!" He whispered out in glee which confused me.

I moved the blanket away from my body and looked up at him, my eyes narrowing. "Naruto.. What are you talking about? What worked? Who's, he?" I asked worriedly and stood up, walking over to where he stood by my dresser, his excitement going away by my questions.

He turned to me and bit his lip, shaking his head reassuringly. "N-Nobody.. There's nothing you have to worry about, Hinata." He whispered out, leaving me in the dark once more.

Ugh.. He's always does this.. It's not fair. He would want to know what's going on with me.

I sighed and grabbed his arm gently, moving so he could face me, my worried lavender eyes meeting his.

He stared down at me sadly and shook his head once more, spotting the worry and curiousness in my eyes.. "Don't, Hinata.. It's for your own good..." He whispered out with a hidden meaning behind it which made me sigh. Those words made me give in to his wishes.

Whatever he was a hiding it must, be a very hard topic to talk about.

Well, in that case, I won't talk about it anymore.

I let go of him and instead reached over and pulled one of my drawers out to my dresser, fetching myself a white silky gown to wear. "Alright.. I won't bring it up anymore." I whispered out and pulled the piece of clothing over myself, covering my naked body from the slightly cool room.

He nodded slowly and walked over to his dresser, fetching himself a pair of clothes as well. "I'm sorry, babe.. Let's just, talk about something else.." He suggested and pulled out a pair of black boxers and basketball shorts, adding on a white tank.

I nodded sadly and pulled the gown correctly onto my body, the fabric falling down to my pale, shiny legs.

Meanwhile, he was pulling on his clothing as well, covering up his naked tone body fron me.

But he suddenly shot a dirty smirk my way, a chuckle escaping my lips. "So.. talk to me, Hinata. How did you think last night went?" He asked suddenly, the sex sessions from last night popping up in my mind.

The one involving the.. good Naruto and the other one with the.. other Naruto.. He wouldn't be considered dark anymore.

He's just.. Naruto.

I smiled and walked up to him, moving my hips seductively making him purr at the sight, his hands coming out to bring me close. "It, was lovely, my love." I purred out bravely and traced his strong jawline with only one finger, his eyebrows rising up at my confidence.

Since everything's gone down now.. We can really express our love for one another.

There's no need for me to be so shy around him.. Only when his dominant side comes out to play.. Then, that's when my submissive side wants to come out too.

His right arm wrapped around my waist tightly, his other hand slowly slithering down to roughly bring my leg up by his waist, our faces very close. "Ahh.. Was it the blindfold.. Should I start being more kinky, with you, hmm?" He whispered and pulled my leg up more, bringing me towards him as I held his shoulders, a soft yelp passing my lips.

I smiled brightly and raised my other hand and tapped his nose, nodding playfully. "You can do, whatever you like. I only want you.. Naruto. No matter how, you take me.. I will love it. As long as it's..." I started off, referring to the rape and the rough sex he always use to do to me back in the old days.

That.. wasn't pleasurable at all.. Maybe a little bit.. But, only slim..

He nodded slowly and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, somehow reading my mind again, his hands letting go of my leg... "I know.. No more of that. I promise, on my soul.." He whispered out making me smile, but I couldn't help but think..

Is his powers, really back? He keeps reading my mind.

Maybe, I should just.. ask..

I looked back up at him and bit my lip, my fingers coming up to twiddle with the other, something I used to do back in my younger days when I suddenly grow a bit shy or nervous.

"Um, Naruto. Can I ask you something?" I asked quietly, unsure on how to go about asking him.

It would be weird if I just out right and ask him.. Even though it shouldn't be.

But, it is and it makes me nervous..

And I hate that.

He sensed my discomfort and turned around, clutching my forearms, bringing me to face him. "Of course, baby. You can talk to me, about anything, okay. Don't be afraid. My heart is only filled with love.. for you, and everyone that's in this house. I love you, Hinata." He whispered out and lifted his right hand and caressed my cheek, his thumb massaging my cheek lovingly which made my heart soar.

His words, reassured me, erasing all discomfort and doubt.

I smiled brightly at him and cooed, leaning into his touch. "Thank you, Naruto. I'm so glad, you're in my life. Through all of our bad times.. You always leave me with the good ones and I can't ask for anything more.. So thank you, so much.." I whispered out and launched out and instead hugged him tightly, my head lying close to his chest, all thoughts of the question from before pushed to the back of my mind.

Naruto gasped by my sudden action but smiled, immediately wrapping his arms around me as well, pushing me into his body more. "I love you too, Hinata. And I can't ask for anything more then you either." He whispered and laid his head down on my head, his hands rubbing my back gently.

We both stood there and embraced one another lovingly, we both acceptint the other one entirely.

But our moment was cut short when the door behind Naruto clicked open a bit, blue eyes peeking through.

Once they saw that we were indeed up and fully clothed, a boy ran out.

A lovable boy at that.

"Mom! Dad! You're up!" Noah yelled and threw himself on the two of us, laughs escaping our mouths.

"Hi buddy!"

We both spoke happily and hugged him tightly, our arms embracing him in our, embrace.

We giggled and laughed and cuddled closely to one another, this moment warming our hearts.

This, is what our life should've been. Not the chaos and violence it once was.

But.. Now.. I will make it my mission that the peace we have now..

Stay, like this..

Once, and for all..

A Few Minutes Later

Noah, Naruto and me all walked downstairs together, hand in hand. We made it down in no time and inspected the others, they all busy doing their normal things.

Everything.. was back, to normal.

Ino and Kurenai was busy cooking breakfast. Tsunade was probably away in her medical study room, working on her assignments.

Ray and Leo were watching Tv while Stefan and Eddie were busy lookinh through the daily newspaper, their eyes widening every now and again.

"No fucking way. Boss! I know who fucked with your club!" Stefan shouted, he previously hearing the sad news from Ray.

All the men in the room stopped what they were doing and turned to Stefan and Eddie, Naruto's eyes widening.

He sent me an apologetic look but I shook my head at him, he once again reading my mind..

Noah sighed and unhanded Naruto's hand, letting him go as well. He smiled at the both of us and set off, towards the living room to join Stefan and the others, my eyes staring back at them sadly.

Noah tilted his head as he watched him leave, his eyes soon turning up to me. "Hey mom, aren't you glad the bad stuff is over? You know I am!" He said happily with the most cheekiest smile making me giggle, he also joining in with a laugh.

"Of course honey. I just wish you didn't have to be in the middle of it all." I said and pinched both of his cheeks with my fingers, his grin growing wider somehow.

Ahh.. I can never get enough of this silly boy.

Noah nodded and looked back towards the men in the living room who were talking rather loudly, the news finally out on what really happened to Naruto's club.

I think, I should go find out too..

I nodded and grabbed Noah's hand and smiled down at him... "Come on.. Let's go join them.." I suggested and Noah smiled, nodding happily by my decision.

"Okay Mommie!"

Naruto's P.O.V

I stared at Stefan and Eddie as they read the newspaper print in front of us..

The topic reading:

Central Club demolished...
Leader Disappointed

Stefan scoffed as he read it, Leo and Ray all listening. "It says, two days ago a tragic event unfolded near downtown at the famous, Uzumaki Club. The event started during the early, early morning... By Shinigani gang members. They all were claiming that Naruto Uzumaki, a.k.a the leader of the Uzumaki club, didn't deserve a fancy place as the said club. It's a very, tragic time indeed. And the Shinigani men got what they deserve.. Hopefully, something can be done by these matters. This place was really.. a place to be." Stefan finished with a sigh, his head shaking back and forth.

He looked back at us with his hazel eyes and eyed our facial expressions.

My eyes were narrowed and my lips were bared, my fists clenched.

How dare they..

How dare, they touch my motherfucking property? Those Shinigani snakes.. Their leader is gone, so why the hell would they put themselves at risk like that?

Leo gritted his teeth and cursed, pissed as well. "Fucking pigs." He hissed out, Ray nodding along with him.

He then, looked towards me with concerned brown eyes, his brown hair covering up his eyes some. "Boss.. What are we, going to do now?" He asked quietly, snapping me out of my anger filled thoughts.

I sighed and turned to him, just as Hinata and Noah came up, their mouths wide open at our discussion.

The both of them.. eavesdropping..

"N-N-No way.." Hinata whispered out and turned to me, her eyes expressing with extreme worry.

I stared up at her and pouted, my eyes landing on Noah who was also.. pouting.

"Aww.. Daddy." He said and went up to me and hugged me tightly around my neck, Hinata joining him.

I smiled and patted the both of them, the other men watching us with sad eyes.

We hummed and squeezed each other tightly, their bodies mushed against mines which felt so good..

I felt.. loved..

So, loved..

But our little moment was interrupted when Ino stepped in, spatula in hand.

She smiled at us but cleared her throat, our embrace coming to an end.

We all turned to her on which she bit her lip, she eyeing our moment hesitantly, which was interrupted.. "Uh Sorry.. But, Breakfast's ready.." She announced happily on which we smiled, jumping up quickly.

"Ahh Yeah! Breakfast time!" Noah yelled as he jumped to his feet, our laughs following afterwards.

Ray walked over and kissed Ino softly, their moans heard over our laughing. "Hi beautiful. You look nice this morning." He complimented as I watched in amusement, Eddie, Stefan and Noah already heading into the kitchen to help out Kurenai set up the table.

I stood up with Hinata in hand, my attention directed towards her now. "You heard.. the news right?" I asked worriedly, already knowing the answer.

She came in, surprised. So I know, she heard it.

I just wish I can guard her from all of this. I want her to be.. in peace. Away from my shitty problems.

Is that such a selfish thing?

But Hinata nodded as expected and rubbed my hand, the others tagging along with us. "It's okay, Naruto. Let's go eat first and then.. talk later... okay?" She said with a small smile, she soon more creeping up to peck my cheek, Ray and Leo snickering behind me.

I rolled my eyes back at their childish behavior and grinned..

"Shut the hell up you two.. And let's eat..."

Hinata's P.O.V

Now, we all sat at the long table in the dining room, as one big happy family.

Different conversations was heard everywhere, Noah, Naruto and me engaged in one.. as usual. Ray and Ino were talking along with Tsunade and Eddie.

Kurenai, Stefan and Leo were also engaging into their own.. silly conversation.

And the breakfast, was delicious. Kurenai and Ino are really good cooks.. They should really teach me how to cook so well..

They made perfectly cooked omelettes with a side of roasted sausages, a bowl of strawberries in the middle of the table for all of us.. orange juice poured in everyone's cups.

Ahh.. It felt so nice to be reunited again..

I absolutely love this!

I smiled brightly and cut my omelet in small pieces, Noah eating his share the best he can.

He looked towards my plate and gasped, he immediately sliding his plate towards me from across the table. "Ooh, ooh. Mom, do mines." He offered excitingly, his blue eyes glowing with interest.

Me and Naruto giggled at that but I nodded, taking his plate and using the butter knife I had, cutting the omelet in half first, the cheese oozing out of it nicely.

Mmm.. It smelt good too.

Naruto watched me with loving eyes, he turning to his food which was nicely cut. I noticed now, he ate more slowly.. He now used to outside food instead of the prison food he used to eat.

Before.. he would just stuff everything in.. But now, wasn't the case. He picked one of his egg pieces up with his metal fork and faced Noah again, eyeing him deviously. "So.. Noah. Now that everything's gone down.. And my powers are indeed back. What do you say about training with me.. After school.. Every other day, eh." He suggested with a raised eyebrow, his handbthrowing in the piece of egg from his fork, his jaws moving with the chews he made.

I smiled at the both of them and slid Noah his plate, his eyes lighting up.

He ate some before answering, his excitement slowly, going away. "Yeah, sure dad." He spoke, rather nonchalantly making us both frown, his fork playing with the pieces of egg I chopped up for him.

I looked towards Naruto and sighed, his blue eyes sending me a quick, reassuring message...

That he'll get the situation worked all out.

I kept my frown though and turned back to Noah, who held a pout on his face now, his fork still playing with his food.

I bit my lip but couldn't help but ask.. "What's wrong Noah?" I asked worriedly and tilted my head, the others conversations coming to a stop at the sound of our serious conversation.

Everything grew silent which made Noah gulp, he sitting up straight in his chair. "I.. Um.. Just, don't want to go to school." He finally announced, his serious eyes everyone sitting around.

Tsunade and Kurenai frowned and turned to us fully, now engaged into our conversation. "Why, Noah? Wouldn't it be fun after all this time? What about your friends?" Tsunade encouraged with a nod, her brown eyes staring into his with care and love..

Like a grandma should...

The others held the same look, frowns and curiosity present to Noah's previous words.

Noah sighed and lowered his head, his eyes downcasted as if he was rethinking his words. I watched him with sadden eyes, he still a little troubled.

I know he missed school these past months.. And I know his friends missed him too. He loves his friends, dearly. They're pretty nice kids.. They've even been here some times for sleepovers. So I know them pretty well.

Naruto laid on his extended arm on the table, his plate now.. empty.

My eyes widen at that, my previous thoughts blown straight out the window.

Nope.. I was wrong. His old ways still haven't changed yet.

Wow..

I shook my head and turned back to Noah who had began talking again.

He looked up at me and smiled faintly, something he wanting to get off of his chest.. now finally coming out.

I can see it in his innocent eyes of his.

"Well, I just.. don't want to leave mom. I want to stay with her. But.. A part of me wants to go to school. I want to see my friends.. And spend time with them... But.. I want to stay with, the rest of you all too!!" He admitted and turned to Naruto, a huge smile on his face.

Naruto's eyes widen, his heart lifted up by his son's sweet little words. "N-Noah.. you really, mean that?" He whispered out in disbelief, the others cooing at tge sight of our sweet moment.

Noah nodded and kept his boyish smile, his hands raising out to all of us. "Yep. I want to stay here.. and spend time with all of you!" He said cheerfully making us all giggle, happy smiles etching our features.

These moments..

Together, like this.. makes me actually cherish the life I made.. It makes me, very happy.

I smiled and slowly looked towards Naruto, beside me, as he laughed loudly in his chair, his blue eyes shining brightly with joy, a joy I wanted extremely, to stay for him.

I want him to be able to conquer the darkness in his heart and become someone truly powerful.. and loving...

I want him.. to be my loving husband one day..

I love him, so much.

I never thought a person can experience so much love.

But.. I do..

No matter how much he hurt me in the past.. My love stayed, which.. was a damn miracle.

Maybe.. It was meant, to be..

My lavender happy eyes moved from him to Noah, he too giggling and having a good old time.

My son.. The first child I ever brought into this world.

I love him so much.. He shares a very, very special place in my heart...

I want him, to stay pure.. I want him to keep shining his light. Because this dark, cruel world.. is going to need it..

All of us, will need it.

My eyes then switched on Ray, who sat beside Noah.

A big grin was present on his tan cheeks as he enjoyed our converstaion, plus the meal, my eyes taking in, everything.

To me.. Out of Naruto's henchmen.. I liked Ray the most.

Yeah sure.. When he met me he wasn't all that great.. He actually raped me. But as time went by and everything calmed down..

He, was the most inspiring one.

He helped me conquer things I thought I couldn't...

He was there when Naruto wasn't..

He was a really great friend that I would love to keep around.

I smiled at that, getting a bit emotional..

My eyes watered up but I kept going with my inner analysis, turning to the person who sat beside me, on my right..

Who was Ino.

My smile brightened at the sight of her so happy.

I will never, stop loving her. She's been here from day one, struggling with me. It's still such a miracle she's even still with me. We've been best friends ever since high school.. And she's, still here and we're.. women..

Adults.

God I love her.

I giggled to myself and turned to the next person down from her which was Kurenai, my eyes lighting up.

Now Kurenai..

Woah.. where should I start.

She's a real firecracker. She's the one who was keeping my head focused during the dark times when Naruto was gone.

That, was a very hard for me..

But... she helped with Noah and, my job. I went back to school because of her..

She was really, helpful...

I then turned to the person who sat in front of her.. Which was Stefan.

To be honest, I just really, like his company. He's such a chill person. He's never pointed out anyone's flaws, he only loves, all of us as we are..

I like that, about him..

I giggled once more to myself and looked down from to see Eddie...

Well.. That's pretty self explanatory. I really, don't know the guy...

Even though that one time. God I still can't believe that happened.

When Naruto punished him for joining Menma and almost killed him in the process...

It was brutal.

But, I saved him..

He's alive, because of me..

I nodded at that and turned to the next person who was Leo, he happily talking to Tsunade who was laughing at his comments.

Now Leo.. Is my second favorite.

He's helped me a lot as well.

He was the man.. I talked to.

If I wanted to talk to someone, well.. A man.. I'd go to him.

He was a really straight forward and personal kind of guy.. He never held anything back from me..

That's, what I really like, about him..

I hummed and turned to the last person at the table..

Who I love so much.

Tsunade..

She's, my stand in mom.. She's helped me so many times I've lost count. She's helped Kurenai with Noah. She basically raised him...

Because of my hours at work.. I was gone half of the time.. But, once Noah started to grow older, I took over and she went back into the medical business..

She played a big part in my life and I wouldn't ask for anything more...

I laid back into my seat and just looked at my family as a whole, happiness engulfing me fully.

This.. Is my dream..

This, is my life..

And I want, nothing, more...

-A Few Hours Later-

The sun outside went down and only night shown around us.

We all stood out in our backyard, holding.. lanterns, by the pool.

Naruto and I thought it would be a good idea for us to.. really bond together like this is if we.. release lanterns and talk about our bad and good times..

Who left us and.. who joined us..

Naruto cleared his throat loudly on which everyone turned to him, white fluffy, round fabric held in everyone's hands.

Naruto smiled at all of us, he also taking us in like I did.. "Everyone.. I want us to enjoy, life together. I want us to have a happy.. ending. Things may have not went our way before.. But we can do anything now. So, what we're going to do... Is say a couple of things you wish to do in a couple of years.. Talk about the ones you lost.. And.. the ones you love.." He said and wrapped his arm tightly around my waist, pushing me into his body.

I giggled, as well as everyone else, Naruto holding the match to light our lanterns. "So.. Anyone wants to go first?" He asked as silence settled in, the water of the pool splashing lightly behind everyone.

Noah looked at everyone and shrugged, raising his hand instantly. "Dad. I'll go." He volunteered making us all grin, Naruto motioning him over.

"Alright my brave son. Step on up on the table." He said and pointed to the table to our left.. The table we last sat at to eat the steak.. That Leo and Ray made for us. Because Naruto, proposed to me..

That's before everything went downhill.

Noah nodded and held his little lantern in his hands, he stepping up on the table as told..

Once he was on it, we turned and stared up at him, his eyes staring back down at all of us.

He smiled but then hummed, thinking hard on what to say. "Well.. In a couple of years.. I see myself... still in school." He said which made us laugh, Naruto nodding proudly.

"Damn right." He snapped and Noah's eyebrows raised, a gulp passing his throat.

"U-Um.. I also see myself playing.. soccer. I want, to play.. soccer." He announced and we clapped for him, Ino and Ray cheering loudly.

I giggled and nodded, smiling brightly at him.. "What else Noah? Tell us the things you lost." I announced and he nodded, thinking once more.

He hummed and tapped his chin, his feet switching back and forth on one another. "Well.. I wouldn't say I lost anyone but.. I am glad that Dad's back to normal. I did.. lose him one time... In a way " He spoke and smiled down at him, Naruto frowning.

"Sorry bud.. I'm sorry I put you through all of that." He apologized which made us all coo, Ray coming up to pat his back.

"Don't blame yourself, Boss. This wasn't your doing.. Remember?" He whispered by his ear which I heard...

Naruto nodded and smiled back at him, offering him some dap. "Thanks man." He whispered back on which he nodded, his brown hair covering his eyes once more, his left hand holding his inflated lanturn.

Noah hummed and spoke some more, explaining why he loved us and why he wants us to stay here on the earth with him, he soon raising his lanturn up, letting us know he was done talking.

"Alright Dad.. I'm ready!" He announced happily and Naruto chuckled, not leaving without kissing my forehead.

"You're next baby.." He only whispered which made me blush deeply, my mouth dropping as he left me with that..

Wow... Thanks a lot Naruto..

I pouted and watched as Naruto raised himself up and clicked on the lighter, the world around Noah and Naruto lighting up from the fire.

He stared down at Noah and breathed deeply. "You ready, son?" He asked and Noah smiled, nodding excitingly.

"Of course dad!" He screeched which made Naruto laugh, he guiding the match towards the end of Noah's lanturn.

The lantern sparked and immediately started to light up, Noah soon letting it go.

We all watched it as it as soared high into the air, our eyes catching the beautiful stars as well, in the sky..

"Wow..." Tsunade whispered out, amazement found in her voice. Noah smiled brightly as he stared upon it, the lantern rising higher and higher, it slowly disappearing from sight.

"Wow.. It's gone, dad." He whispered and Naruto nodded, grabbing Noah and pulling him down, back on the ground. "Yep.. You sent your wishes off.. Which means they'll, no doubt come true.." He said with a nod, a huge smile on his face.

I watched Naruto as he talked with Noah, giving him deep heartfelt words..

Like a real father would and, should..

That, made my heart absolutely melt..

Oh Naruto...

My feet automatically went forward and I hugged them both deeply, catching them by surprise. "I love you.. both so much." I whispered out, the others cooing. Naruto and Noah smiled and hugged me deeply, patting my back.

"No Hinata.. We love you more, babe.." Naruto whispered out which made my heart flutter with love, my cheeks a rosy red.

We soon departed and I smiled at the both of them. "I'll go.. next." I finally announced and Naruto smirked, suddenly slapping my ass roughly making me yelp.

"Mmm.. That's what I like to hear." He whispered by my ear, Noah's eyes widening as he took it all in.

He immediately covered his eyes and screamed, shaking his head. "Eww! Gross, mom and dad;" He yelled out in embarrassment, his feet taking him back towards Tsunade.

Naruto chuckled but I shook my head, hitting his chest playfully. "Don't do that, in front of him. You know how he is, Naruto." I warned and he nodded, sighing dramatically.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just get on the damn table already." He demanded and grabbed my waist and picked me up playfully making me yelp, my feet lifting up off of the ground by his massive strength.

He didn't even grunt from my weight as he pulled me onto the table, my hands gripping his shirt tightly.

I soon let him go and stood up, my hands holding my lanturn tightly.

I stared down at it and then, back at my family, Noah smiling brightly at me.

Ray smiled, Ino cheered, Kurenai clapped, Eddie sending me a small smile, Leo cheering as well, Stefan clapped along with Kureani, Tsunade cheering and Naruto.. winking.

"Go on, Hinata." He whispered out, all of them smiling brightly at me, warming my heart greatly..

Wow.. This, is my family now..

And I love every single one of them, dearly..

I smiled and breathed in deeply, thinking hard about what I see myself doing the next few years. "Well for starters.. I see Naruto and me married.. The peace we all have now still, there.. just like this. I also see myself working back into the hospital again.. I want to try to get back into the medical field again." I finished with a small smile, nodding down at all them.

Naruto smiled and nodded, keeping that in mind for me. I stared down at the rest of them who nodded at me, giving me a thumbs up.

I blew out a deep breath before clearing my throat... "I-I've lost.. a few people in my life.. My mom and, Toneri..." I whispered out while eyeing Naruto who had narrowed his eyes, his foot tapping the ground.

I gulped but kept going.... "B-But on the way.. I met some of the most awesomest people. And that would be.. Ray, Leo, Kurenai, Stefan and Eddie.. And even.. Naruto. I wouldn't be here without all of you." I said happily and they all cheered, clapping for me..

Even Tsunade, Ino and Noah clapped, huge smiles on their faces.

Naruto winked at me and blew a small kiss. "Love you too babe." He whispered on which I smiled, but he then jumped up on the table suddenly, catching us all by surprise.

"Damn.. Don't break the table now." Ray chuckled out playfully on which Naruto stuck up the bird.

"Shut the hell up." He snapped on which I gasped, hitting him again.

"Language.. Naruto." I spat out in a motherly tone, a tone that Noah knew all too well.

He nodded fron below and crossed his arms, his right eyebrow raised. "That's right mom. You tell him.." He snapped back which was supposed to be takened seriously but all of us laughed, a frown tugging at his lips.

"Wh-What?" He asked but Naruto waved him off, holding his lanturn up. "I just figured.. If Hinata's going.. Then I'll go." He insisted which brought a blush to my cheeks, my flustered state never seeming to just stay away..

God.. This is such a romantic moment..

He blew out a deep breath before talking, his words flowing smoothly. "So.. What I see myself doing in a couple of years is simple. I want my club to be up and running again.. Which by the way, I'm going to start that immediately. I also see myself becoming fitness trainer.. I want to teach people to stay fit and help me, stay postive, ya know." He said proudly, already having his future planned.

I gasped and smiled, clapping for him happily "Wow Naruto. That's new.. You never talked about that before." I said in amazement and he chuckled, shaking his head, reassuring me.

"I've just been thinking about it for some time. I just wanted it to be the right time to tell you all." He explained to us on which we all nodded, his plan lifting our hearts.

I never knew he wanted to work at the gym... I just thought he was only determined to build his fancy club back up.

But that's... amazing.

I smiled as I listened to him talk, he now talking about the people he lost.. And I know,

He's lost a few..

He cleared his throat and blinked away his tears before speaking again, a frown appearing on our faces. "I've lost.. A lot of people throughout my lifetime.. And well.. He paused a bit, sighing...

I frowned, moving to rub his shoulder. "Just take your time, Naruto." I whispered out, trying to comfort him which, did the trick.

He sighed, sending me a small, reassuring smile before continuing. "Well, I lost.. My mother.. My dad, in a way. My aunt.. My uncle.. My cousin and.. Some of my friends.. And the thing is.. I, was the one who took them from this world.. From my world. I made it all happen. And for that.. I'm so, so sorry.." He whispered out making the others all gasp, Ray and Leo grimacing at his words.

"Bro.. Don't stress.. We've done some shit too!" Leo shouted out, trying to cheer him up. Naruto nodded and looked towards the sky, my hand creeping down to rub his backside this time, his eyes soon closing at my caressing.

He sighed, smiling.. "B-But.. There are, some good things I did.. out of life. I met, all of you.. I actually want to do better for myself. I want peace.. No more gang shit. I just want... My life back, ya know." He said out of hurt, my eyebrows furrowing.

Now.. I feel like.. We.. shouldn't have done this.

He's feeling guilty.

I sighed and grabbed his arm gently and moved him towards me, his eyes shooting wide open.

Carefully, I turned my feet on the table and gave him a small hug, my face lying on his chest. "Naruto.. You're amazing. You've been through so much and look what you've accomplished now. You have a great big family. A nice house. A son that loves and adores you. Friends that support you. And a fiance that loves you dearly.. You don't need to keep relying on the past. The past will always be.. The past." I said against his chest, a smile creeping on his face..

Which I couldn't see...

He chuckled and wrapped his arms around me, the best he could with the things he was holding, his head coming down to rest on my head.

Everyone cooed at the sight of us, we both hugging each other tightly. "Mmm.. I love you Hinata. I promise.. We'll live the life you've always wanted.. I'll make sure of it..." He whispered by my ear on which I smiled, nodding sincerely.

"Thank you.. Naruto." I whispered back and he nodded, departing from me to hold his lantern...

He turned towards everyone and smiled, blowing deeply "So, there's that... Here goes nothing.." He whispered out and turned to me, my hands bringing up my lantern. He smiled at me and lowered the match to my lantern, watching it as it lit up, my hands soon.. letting it go..

Right after, Naruto lit his, soon letting it go so it could fly alongside with mines.

The fire lit up the sky as the white lanterns bumped against each other, our eyes twinkling as we stared at it leave us, joining Noah's.

"Wow.." I whispered out on which Naruto smiled, turning to me slowly.

I turned back to him too and smiled, we both slowly leaning into each other.

Naruto was the one who first took my lips, his hands grabbing my waist tightly. I groaned and closed my eyes, the others cheering as well as Noah but his eyes were soon eye covered by Leo who chuckled at us, Noah frowning..

"Ah man.."

The lanterns above us flew higher and higher, carrying our dreams and wishes with it..

The others lanterns.. soon joining ours, as well..
