I'M NOT FREAK! I'm just errr?

Summary : Sehari bersama Hinata (Hinata POV)

Warning : ehm… Hinatafans… please…don’t kill me…

--

I’M NOT FREAK!! I’M JUST…. ERRR… ?

Hai semuanya. Namaku Hinata Hyuuga. Anak sulung dari keluarga utama klan Hyuuga. Usiaku sekarang 14 tahun. Saat masih genin rambutku sangat pendek. Dalam 2 tahun aku telah menjadi chuunin dan memanjangkan rambutku, ini merupakan symbol penantianku terhadap se-se-seorang… ah maaf… mukaku rasanya panas sekali. Aku permisi dulu…

5 menit kemudian

Maaf aku sudah melakukan hal bodoh. Ya, aku merasa benar-benar bodoh. Sudah lama sekali aku memendam perasaan cinta padanya, tapi belum juga ada keberanian yang timbul untuk menyatakan hal ini kepadanya. Kepada orang yang selalu memberiku semangat melalui punggungnya yang selalu kulihat dari balik tembok, dari balik tiang listrik, dari balik pagar, dari balik semak-semak, dari tempat manapun yang menyembunyikan sosokku darinya.

Jantungku selalu berdegup kencang setiap kali berada pada radius 2 meter darinya. Dan aku selalu pingsan setiap kali berada pada radius 1 meter darinya. Aku menyesali keadaanku yang menyedihkan ini. Kenapa aku tidak bisa berekspresi apa adanya seperti Sakura-chan atau Ino-chan, bahkan Temari-san tampak mendominasi hubungannya dengan Shikamaru-kun …ehm tapi sepertinya aku tidak akan bisa menandingi Temari-san deh, dan aku juga tidak mau Naruto-kun tersiksa seperti Shikamaru-kun, eh, apakah dia benar-benar tersiksa?

Ketika aku mendengar Naruto-kun sudah kembali ke Konohagakure setelah pelatihannya bersama Jiraiya-sama selama 2 tahun, aku langsung melesat ke seluruh pelosok desa mencarinya. Setiap sudut desa kudatangi, setiap warung ramen kusatroni, begitu rambut durian yang kurindukan itu terlihat di persimpangan jalan, ternyata ia sedang bersama Kiba-kun dan Shino-kun. Uuh.. aku hanya bisa melihat mereka bersenda gurau dari balik pagar kayu. Tak kusangka Naruto-kun menyadari keberadaanku! Tapi terlambat, aku sudah keburu pingsan ketika ia menghampiriku…

Uh sebell! Aku harus berusaha untuk menjadi lebih baik daripada selama ini!

“Hinata-neechan… ajarin matematika donk… pe-er nya susah banget nih”

“Ma-maaf Hanabi-chan, a-aku sedang sibuk, coba pakai kalkulator…”

Maaf ada adikku yang nyempil. Mari kulanjutkan cerita ini.

“Hinata-sama… saya sudah menyetrika semua jemuran Anda, mau ditaruh di mana?”

“Ne-neji-niisan, terima kasih.. to-tolong ditaruh di situ saja”

Aduh sekali lagi maaf, kakak sepupuku suka mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah tangga padahal itu bukan tugasnya sebagai keluarga cabang. Nah mari kembali ke topik.

“Hinata-chan…! Kamu liat contact lens warna pelangi ayah ga?”

“A-ayah… kenapa ga nyari pake bya-byakugan saja?”

(sweatdrops) …oke, tampaknya aku tidak bisa melanjutkan cerita ini. Cerita ini akan dimulai besok pagi saja. Sekarang, mari kita tidur sebelum para pengganggu itu menyerobot ceritaku lagi.

Zzzzzz grokh


Pagi hari, eh, subuh, eh ini masih petang…

Aku selalu bangun pagi, benar-benar pagi ketika ayam-ayam masih tidur pulas dan matahari masih menyinari belahan bumi yang lain. Air di bak mandi yang masih sedingin es tak akan mematahkan semangatku untuk memulai hari ini. Aku berusaha keras menahan bersin saat mandi supaya para Hyuuga yang lain tidak terbangun, tapi ini benar-benar dingin! Brrrh!

Berjalan di dalam rumah pun harus dalam mode mengendap-endap tanpa suara. Sedikit saja kayu lantai ini berderit, pasti ayah akan bangun. Entah apa yang akan beliau katakan melihat anaknya berkeliaran di rumah jam 3 pagi.

Semua barang-barang yang kuperlukan sudah kusiapkan malam hari sebelumnya. Masker (aku ingin masker seperti yang dipakai Kakashi-sensei, tapi tidak ketemu, jadi aku pakai masker flu saja), kacamata hitam, topi rajutan, sarung tangan, teleskop berbagai ukuran, penyadap suara, jam weker, emergency light, buku catatan, tali tambang, sempoa, obat oles pengusir nyamuk, sunblock, sekantong penuh kunai, peralatan P3K, satu pak bom kertas, satu kotak makan siang, oh ya, tak lupa rompi antipeluru. Eh, kalian bertanya dari mana aku mendapat beberapa benda yang mencurigakan ini? Tentu saja beli di pasar gelap.

Yep, persiapan selesai. Untunglah hari Minggu ini team kami tidak ada latihan atau misi. Sekarang saatnya beraksi. Untuk jaga-jaga aku sudah membuat satu bunshin diriku yang kusuruh tidur di kamarku. Byakugan kuaktifkan untuk melihat sekeliling, para Hyuuga masih terlelap. Aku kembali mengendap-endap untuk keluar rumah Hyuuga yang luas sekali, harus ekstra hati-hati karena banyak perangkap yang dipasang di setiap sudut rumah. Kata ayah sih supaya kami selalu berlatih dan tetap waspada dalam keadaan apapun.

Psyu psyu psyu!

Waduh! Aku tidak sengaja menginjak perangkap! Puluhan kunai beterbangan menuju diriku. Kyaaaaa!! (tentu saja berteriak dalam hati)

Hyuuga Hinata, gugur sebagai shinobi dalam misi mengendap-endap keluar dari rumahnya. Namanya tertoreh di monumen pahlawan Konoha.

END

-digaplok Hinata-

Fyuh… untunglah aku bisa menghindari semua kunai itu tanpa suara. Setelah membereskan kunai yang berceceran itu (harus kubereskan untuk menghilangkan barang bukti) akhirnya sampai juga di… halaman rumah Hyuuga yang lebih luas lagi… duh… perjuangan demi cinta memang sangat berat.

Tapi syukurlah di halaman ini tidak ada perangkap, suara langkah kaki pun bisa teredam oleh rerumputan yang lembut. Aku bisa berjalan lebih santai. Sampai juga di pintu gerbang. Aku sudah menyiapkan kunci cadangan dan tinggal selangkah lagi aku dapat melaksanakan misiku.

“Hinata-sama, apa yang Anda lakukan sepagi ini?”

Gya! Kaget! Ternyata Neji-niisan bangun lebih pagi dariku. Aku harus membuat catatan mental untuk bangun lebih pagi lagi.

“E-eh?? Ne-Neji-niisan? Neji-niisan sendiri sedang a-apa?”

“Ya seperti biasanya kan. Memotong rumput dan memangkas tanaman perdu lalu menyiram dan menyapu halaman ini, setelah itu mengepel rumah dan menyiapkan sarapan untuk orang serumah”

“Ooh.. be-begitu… Aku hanya ingin… errr… jo-jogging sebentar di luar” seperti biasa juga, aku tidak dapat memandang lawan bicara, mataku melirik ke samping dengan kedua jari telunjuk yang beradu.

“Dengan memakai masker dan kacamata hitam?” gawat, Neji-niisan mulai mencurigaiku.

“Eh yah… errr… Ini sedang tre-trend.. ahaha”

Sebaiknya aku cepat-cepat kabur sebelum Neji-niisan menginterogasiku lebih lama lagi. Tanpa kuda-kuda aku langsung melakukan lari sprint, meninggalkan Neji-niisan yang masih penuh tanda tanya di kepalanya. Aku bisa mendengar Neji-niisan mengatakan ‘hati-hati di jalan’ yang suaranya makin mengecil karena jarak yang makin menjauh. Aku tidak mempedulikannya.

Jalan di Konohagakure masih diterangi oleh lampu-lampu yang belum dimatikan. Aku sangat hapal setiap rute jalan menuju tempat itu. Bahkan aku juga sudah menggali beberapa terowongan bawah tanah kalau semua jalur darat ada halangan.

Akhirnya sampai juga di tempat tujuan. Rumah Naruto-kun. Tidak, aku tidak akan menyelinap masuk ke rumahnya. Aku hanya akan memanjat rumah orang yang ada di seberang rumah Naruto-kun. Atap rumah orang ini sangat strategis. Tidak akan ada orang yang dapat melihatku di sini.

Semua barang yang kuperlukan kukeluarkan. Karena pagi ini masih gelap, aku menyalakan emergency light. Setelah menghitung lebar dan sudut ventilasi rumah Naruto-kun, kulemparkan kunai yang telah ditempeli penyadap suara. Kunai tersebut dengan sukses masuk ke kamar Naruto-kun dan menancap di tempat yang tidak akan terlihat olehnya. Uh.. aku sedikit iri dengan kunai itu.

Teleskop berbagai ukuran berjejer rapi di sampingku. Teleskop belum bisa kupakai karena jendela rumah Naruto-kun masih tertutup tirai. Alat penerima suara sudah kuaktifkan. Terdengar suara dengkuran Naruto-kun yang lucu sekali di earphone yang kupakai. Aku bisa membayangkan wajah tidurnya yang imut, dengan iler yang mengalir dengan lancar membasahi bantalnya.

Aku merebahkan diri atap ini, memandang langit yang masih gelap dengan sedikit goresan oranye di ujung horizon. Bintang-bintang masih bisa terlihat walau sudah samar. Setiap kali kupejamkan mata, sosok Naruto-kun justru terlihat lebih jelas. Senyumannya yang penuh semangat selalu sukses membuatku pingsan. Pikiranku terus berputar-putar, diiringi lagu dengkuran Naruto-kun yang merdu.

Terdengar satu persatu ayam di pelosok Konoha mulai berkokok. Langit semakin terang. Aku kembali dalam mode waspada. Teleskop sudah siap tergenggam dalam tanganku. Kuarahkan teleskop ke jendela kamarnya. Dari earphone kudengar Naruto-kun sedang menguap. Tirai telah terbuka, jendela telah terbuka… kyah!

“OHAYOOUUU!!”

Suara Naruto-kun begitu lantang. Aku melihat sandal melayang dari salah satu jendela rumah tetangganya, mengenai kepala duriannya yang masih tertutup topi tidurnya. Tampaknya mereka terganggu dengan suara merdu Naruto-kun karena masih terlalu pagi. Tapi menurutku, memulai pagi dengan penuh semangat itu tidak salah kan?

Dari balik teleskop terlihat wajah Naruto-kun yang masih belepotan iler. Naruto-kun yang sedang ngupil pun tampak keren. Ah, ia menuju dapur. Tampaknya ia sedang memanaskan air. Kini ia menuju kulkas, mengambil ramen instan. Eh? Dia mau sarapan dulu sebelum mandi?? Sudahlah, seperti apapun Naruto-kun, aku tetap menyukainya.

Melihat Naruto-kun begitu lahap menyantap ramennya membuatku lapar juga karena belum sarapan. Demi mengintai, eh maksudku melihat Naruto-kun dari kejauhan seperti ini, aku harus menjadi gadis yang tegar! Hanya perut yang berbunyi tidak akan menggoyahkan imanku dalam melaksanakan misi ini!

Hm.. Naruto-kun sudah selesai makan. Ya ampun, ekspresinya yang tampak puas setelah menghabiskan tiga bungkus ramen begitu tak ternilai. Aku ingin mengabadikan momen ini! Pasar gelap memang sangat hebat. Teleskop yang baru kubeli ini juga dilengkapi dengan kamera 8 megapixel. Tak hanya dapat mengambil gambar Naruto-kun, bahkan aku bisa melihat pori-pori kulitnya dengan jelas! Waw…

Aku sudah tidak memerlukan emergency light seiring matahari yang sedang merangkak naik. Kumatikan emergency light dan menjejalkannya ke dalam tas lagi. Aku kembali mengintai, eh maksudku melihat keadaan Naruto-kun sekarang. O ow… Naruto-kun menuju kamar mandi! Tidak, tidak, aku tidak akan menggunakan byakugan! Aku ini cewek normal! Cintaku padanya itu tulus, bukan hanya nafsu semata!

Lama sekali Naruto-kun belum keluar dari kamar mandi. Apa perutnya sakit kebanyakan makan ramen ya? Aku akan menunggu dengan sabar sampai Naruto-kun selesai.

Setelah setengah jam bersabar, akhirnya Naruto-kun keluar juga. Ia memakai jaket oranye-hitam dan tak lupa head protector kebanggaan Konoha. Wuih… sekarang Naruto-kun tampak lebih gagah daripada sewaktu ia bangun pagi tadi. Kufoto sekali lagi dirinya dengan teleskop berkamera 8 megapixel ini. Tampaknya dia sudah bersiap-siap untuk keluar rumah. Kalau begitu aku juga akan membereskan tempat ini dan bersiap-siap untuk menguntit, eh maksudku mengikutinya.

Aku tidak bisa terlalu dekat dengan Naruto-kun, aku tidak ingin pingsan lagi hari ini. Tong sampah ini cukup besar untuk menyembunyikan diriku. Kuintip sedikit untuk melihat apa yang sedang dilakukan Naruto-kun. Ia menuju rumah Sakura-chan. A-apakah Naruto-kun mau mengajak Sakura-chan pergi kencan di hari Minggu? Tidaakkk!!

Tidak mungkin! Hati Sakura-chan hanya untuk Sasuke-kun kan? Ataukah Naruto-kun belum menyerah untuk merebut hati Sakura-chan? Perasaanku jadi tidak menentu. Gelisah menyelimuti pandanganku. Dengan tetap diam-diam tanpa suara aku terus menguntit, eh maksudku mengikuti ke mana Naruto-kun berjalan.

“Sakuraaa-chaaan!! Ayooo latiaaaan!!” suara Naruto-kun membahana di depan rumah Sakura-chan. Aku menjadi sedikit lega, ternyata bukan untuk mengajak kencan. Naruto-kun sungguh rajin, di hari Minggu pun ia sangat bersemangat untuk latihan. Keinginannya untuk mencari Sasuke-kun tampaknya sangat mendalam. Aku pun jika menghilang dari desa ini, alangkah bahagianya jika dicari mati-matian seperti itu oleh Naruto-kun. Aku cemburu pada Sasuke-kun..

“Eh Naruto-kun, Sakura-chan sudah pergi duluan” terdengar suara ibu Sakura-chan di depan pintu rumahnya. Naruto-kun pun melanjutkan perjalanannya setelah berpamitan dengan ibu Sakura-chan. Aku pun melanjutkan perjalananku menguntit, eh maksudku mengikutinya! Duh, kenapa aku salah ngomong terus sih??

Ekh… aku bisa merasakan banyak mata yang memandangiku selama aku mengikuti Naruto-kun. Ada seorang anak kecil yang menunjuk-nunjuk diriku sambil berkata, “Mama, mama, ada kakak aneh pake maskel ma kacamata item” ibu anak kecil itu segera melarang anaknya menunjuk-nunjuk diriku dan membawa lari anaknya. Aku tidak mempedulikannya.

Sampai juga di arena latihan, di sana aku bisa melihat Sakura-chan dan Sai-kun sudah menunggu Naruto-kun. Aku memilih untuk bersembunyi di balik dedaunan pohon dekat arena tersebut. Ah, dari sini aku bisa melihat mereka dengan jelas. Eh, rasanya ada yang menyenggolku?

“Ehem… Hinata-san?”

Gyaaah….! Kakashi-sensei?? Dia juga bersembunyi di dalam pohon yang sama denganku! Waduh bagaimana ini, kalau aku turun dari pohon ini sekarang, Naruto-kun dan yang lainnya akan mengetahui keberadaanku.

“Ka-Ka-Kakashi-sensei… errr… saya sedang me-mengamati burung! Dari sini rasanya saya bisa mengamati mereka dengan sa-santai..” aku menjawab sekenanya. Kuperlihatkan teleskop sebagai barang bukti untuk mengamati burung.

Kakashi-sensei hanya diam dan mendongak ke atas. Di atas kepala kami hanya ada dedauan yang menutupi kami, tak ada satupun celah yang dapat ditembus oleh sinar matahari. Bodohnya aku. Sama sekali bukan tempat yang tepat untuk mengamati burung.

“Aku juga sedang mengamati murid-muridku” beliau tampak tidak peduli dengan alasanku. Dia segera menghilang dengan asap khas ninja dan segera muncul di hadapan ketiga shinobi yang ada di arena latihan. Aku segera mempersiapkan teleskop-teleskopku lagi. Kali ini penyadap suara tidak bisa kupasang karena areanya terlalu luas. Ya sudahlah, hanya melihat wajah Naruto-kun sudah cukup bagiku.

Mereka berlatih selama berjam-jam. Kotak makan siang yang kusiapkan dari rumah sudah habis dan mereka belum juga selesai latihan. Melempar kunai, menyiasati genjutsu, bertarung satu lawan satu, bertarung keroyokan, sepertinya mereka memang berencana untuk menghabiskan hari ini dengan berlatih. Badanku sudah pegal-pegal karena seharian berada di dahan pohon yang keras, tapi itu tidak akan membuatku berhenti.

Hari sudah sore. Mereka tampak sudah kelelahan. Ratusan foto berbagai pose Naruto-kun juga sudah tersimpan dalam teleskop berkamera 8 megapixel ini sampai overload. Dari samar-samar obrolan yang kudengar, mereka berencana untuk makan malam di kedai Ichiraku. Aku tidak boleh melewatkan kesempatan ini!

Aku kembali menguntit, eh mengikuti Naruto-kun dan yang lainnya menuju kedai Ichiraku. Semua benda-benda penyamaran yang seharian ini kupakai telah kulepas, mulai dari masker, sarung tangan, kacamata hitam, dan topi. Rompi antipeluru tetap kupakai untuk jaga-jaga jika ada yang tiba-tiba menyerangku.

Ukh, aku harus memberanikan diriku. Hanya tinggal selangkah lagi diriku memasuki kedai Ichiraku. Hanya satu langkah kecil. Satu langkah di mana aku bisa berada satu ruang dengan Naruto-kun. Ayo Hinata, kuatkan dirimu!

Jantungku berdebar-debar. Kuayunkan kakiku ke depan, menuju tempat masuk kedai Ichiraku.

“Per-permisi…” akhirnya aku masuk juga ke dalam.

“Wah!! Ga disangka Hinata-chan juga datang!! Kutelpon ga kamu angkat-angkat sih” ada Ino-chan di dalam kedai.

“Ayo! Ayo! Kita ramaikan pesta ini!!” ada Lee-kun di dalam kedai.

Ada Kiba-kun di dalam kedai. Ada Shino-kun di dalam kedai. Ada Tenten-chan di dalam kedai. Ada Neji-niisan di dalam kedai. Ada Chouji-kun di dalam kedai. Ada Shikamaru-kun di dalam kedai. Juga ada Temari-san di dalam kedai ….semuanya ada di dalam kedaiiiiii??

“Karena semua sudah berkumpul, mari kita rayakan malam terakhir Temari-san di Konohagakure sebagai pengawas ujian chuunin tahun ini!!” Ino-chan melirik dan menyindir Shikamaru-kun dan Temari-san yang keduanya salah tingkah dalam diam.

“Cuma kayak gini aja musti dirayain. Merepotkan” Shikamaru-kun berkata ogah-ogahan dengan pipi memerah, aku bisa melihatnya dengan jelas.

“Gapapa kan, aku juga ga bisa setiap hari ke sini” Temari-san hanya tersenyum, membuat Shikamaru-kun tambah memerah.

Aku sedikit iri kepada mereka. Tidak pernah kudengar salah satu di antara mereka ada yang nembak. Tahu-tahu mereka sudah bergandengan tangan selama ujian chuunin tahun ini diadakan. Aku pun ingin suatu saat hubunganku dengan Naruto-kun bertumbuh dengan alami seperti itu. Ah… jangankan menjalin hubungan sedekat itu, hanya untuk menyapanya saja aku tidak pernah berhasil.

“Oi, Hinata, jangan bengong aja! Ayo duduk di sini! Sebelahku masih kosong nih!”

Suara Naruto-kun membuyarkan pikiranku. Naruto-kun? Di sebelah Naruto-kun? Kyaaaah!! Ini mimpiiiiii!! Aduh aduh aduh… kepalaku pusing… mataku berputar… gawat gawat…

“Hinata, kenapa kamu?” Naruto-kun mendekatiku. Ini lebih gawat. Aku berusaha memfokuskan pandangan ke arah lain. Berjalan dengan kaku menuju kursi yang kosong di sebelah Naruto-kun, karena ternyata memang satu-satunya kursi yang kosong hanya di sebelah Naruto-kun. Aku sekuat tenaga tidak akan memandang Naruto-kun atau aku akan pingsan.

“Hinata-sama, Anda jogging dari pagi sampai sesore ini?” Neji-niisan bertanya padaku dengan tampang curiga. Bukannya aku sudah membuat bunshin di rumah? Oh iya, Neji-niisan mana mungkin masuk ke dalam kamarku. Lagipula bunshinku hanya kuperintahkan untuk tidur dan makan saja.

“Err… I-itu… habisnya, jogging itu sangat me-menyenangkan” aku menjawab sekenanya. Aku tidak peduli Neji-niisan percaya atau tidak. Neji-niisan hanya menghela napas panjang dan mengatakan agar aku lebih menjaga kesehatan, lalu pergi ke kursi di sebelah Tenten-chan dan memakan ramennya. Hhh… bahkan Neji-niisan bisa berjalan dengan lancar bersama Tenten-chan. Aku iri.

Aku baru menyadari ada semangkok ramen yang daritadi kubiarkan tergeletak di atas mejaku. Aku tidak memesannya, tapi mungkin karena sekarang ada pesta sehingga Teuchi-san membuatkan ramen untukku juga. Ramen yang masih berasap karena panas itu hanya kupandangi saja. Aku memang lapar, tapi aku sudah cukup kenyang berada di sebelah Naruto-kun! Di sebelah Naruto-kun!! Di sebelah Naruto-kun!! Hyaaah... Pikiranku kembali melayang-layang entah ke mana.

“Kok ga dimakan-makan? Ramennya keburu dingin lho?” Naruto-kun tampak mengkhawatirkan diriku. Aku tidak berani menoleh untuk menatapnya. Apa yang harus kulakukan??

“Ooh…jangan-jangan kamu ga suka bawang gorengnya? Sini buat aku aja kalo gitu! Hehe…” dengan muka innocent Naruto-kun langsung menyumpit bawang goreng yang bertaburan di dalam mangkok ramenku. Lalu memakannya dengan lahap.

Aku tertegun. Sumpit Naruto-kun, sumpit Naruto-kun, sumpit Naruto-kun barusan masuk ke dalam ramenku. Uoooooooohhhhh!!

Aku langsung melahap ramenku dalam sekali telan.

Hyuuga Hinata, 14 tahun, akhirnya bisa ciuman tidak langsung dengan orang yang ditaksirnya selama ini! Banzaaaiiiii!! Aku menangis bahagia!! Kami-sama hontou ni tottemo sugoku chou arigatoooouuuuu!!

Pesta perpisahan Temari-san berlangsung dengan meriah. Begitu langit sudah gelap, semua pulang ke rumah masing-masing. Aku melihat Shikamaru-kun menggandeng Temari-san tanpa ragu. Begitu juga dengan Sai-kun dan Ino-chan. Sementara Neji-niisan dan Tenten-chan masih malu-malu. Ah, Sakura-chan… orang yang dicintainya sekarang entah di mana. Aku juga turut bersedih, tapi tidak sesedih ketika kulihat Naruto-kun menemani Sakura-chan pulang. Walau hanya sebatas sahabat, ikatan mereka lebih dalam daripada dengan diriku.

Aku berjalan dengan gontai. Tidak, aku tidak menuju rumahku. Aku kembali memanjat rumah yang ada di seberang rumah Naruto-kun. Di atas atap, aku menyiapkan satu teleskop berkamera 8 megapixelsambil menunggu Naruto-kun pulang. Menengadah ke langit, terlihat bulan purnama yang bersinar terang. Saatnya berganti wujud menjadi serigala… -ditendang Hinata-

Bulan purnama yang bulat menyinari desa Konoha malam ini. Begitu tinggi di angkasa sana. Walaupun waktu kupelajari di akademi ninja bahwa permukaan bulan itu tidak rata dan jelek, namun jika dilihat dari bumi ini, bulan tampak sangat indah dengan sinarnya yang keemasan. Seemas rambut durian yang kusayangi. Aku ingin menggapai bulan itu. Inikah rasanya burung pungguk merindukan bulan?

Terdengar suara pintu berderit dari earphoneku. Naruto-kun sudah pulang. Lampu rumahnya menyala. Melalu teleskop aku bisa melihat wajahnya yang lesu, padahal di kedai tadi Naruto-kun sangat bersemangat. Apakah ini yang sebenarnya ia rasakan? Naruto-kun pernah berjanji pada Sakura-chan untuk membawa kembali Sasuke-kun. Sudah 2 tahun dan janji itu belum terpenuhi. Hal yang sangat membebani hatinya.

Aku menjadi benci diriku sendiri yang hanya bisa melihatnya dari jauh. Aku ingin sekali menolongnya, tapi apa yang bisa kulakukan. Aku tidak tega untuk mengambil gambar wajahnya yang sedih itu dengan teleskop berkamera 8 megapixel ini. Tapi, ukh, bahkan wajah Naruto-kun yang sedang sedih pun sangat tampan!

-sepuluh foto wajah sedih Naruto-kun tersimpan di dalam teleskop berkamera 8 megapixel yang sudah overload-

Naruto-kun mengganti pakaiannya dengan piyama dan bersiap untuk tidur. Eh? Dia tidak mandi dulu? Tidur dengan bau keringat yang masih menempel? Ya sudahlah, seperti apapun Naruto-kun aku tetap menyukainya.

Lampu kamar tidurnya sudah mati. Suara dengkuran yang merdu terdengar dari earphone. Ini berarti misiku hari ini sudah selesai. Kudoakan agar Naruto-kun mendapat mimpi yang indah, syukur-syukur ada diriku nyempil di dalam ia dapat menemukan Sasuke-kun setelah kejadian di kedai Ichiraku tadi hubungan kami bisa semakin dekat. Amin amin amin amin...

Aku membereskan semua perlengkapan. Penyadap suara masih tertinggal di salah satu sudut rumah Naruto-kun, lumayan buat pengintaian, eh maksudku pengamatan selanjutnya. Setelah itu aku segera bergegas pulang sebelum pintu gerbang Hyuuga dikunci. Dengan mengendap-endap dan berhati-hati agar tidak ada perangkap yang terbuka lagi, aku berjalan menuju kamar tidurku.

Badanku juga penuh keringat dan bau, tapi aku terlalu lelah untuk mandi. Wah, aku jadi ketularan malasnya Naruto-kun hihihi… mungkin kami memang cocok. Lagipula, aku tidak ingin berkumur selama seminggu. Aku tidak ingin menghapus bekas ramen yang tadi kumakan. Aku juga tidak akan gosok gigi selama seminggu ini. Ya, ini komitmenku selama seminggi. Ini berarti aku harus menyiapkan sekarung penuh permen mentol penyegar mulut. Tak apa-apa, ini semua adalah ujian cintaku terhadap Naruto-kun!

Hari Minggu yang indah ini telah berakhir. Aku sangat menunggu saat-saat seperti ini lagi. Tapi besok team kami ada misi. Aku harus cepat-cepat tidur agar tidak terlambat. Selamat malam semuanya.

Apa? Aku maniak? Enak saja!!

I’m not freak!! I’m just… errr… obsessed?

ELEGI ESOK PAGI

Pairing: Naruto and Hinata

Rating: T

Disclaimer: “Naruto” by Masashi Kishimoto and “Elegi Esok Pagi” by Ebiet G. Ade

“Hope You Like It”


Malam ini adalah malam minggu. Malam dimana semua pasangan berkencan dan memadu kasih di bawah sinar bulan purnama. Banyak tempat yang bisa dikunjungi pada malam itu. Taman, mall, restoran, dan lain sebagainya. Bahkan mungkin kuburan. Semua tempat itu sudah dikunjungi oleh pasangan muda ini, kecuali kuburan.

Naruto dan Hinata. Mereka sudah lama menjalin kasih sejak mereka masih SMP. Dan kini mereka berdua sudah beranjak dewasa. Status pengangguran tidak dimiliki oleh Naruto. Sekarang ia bekerja di sebuah perusahaan yang cukup besar dan diakui. Walaupun jabatan yang disandangnya tidak seberapa. Begitu pula Hinata. Ia sukses membuka usaha butik di distrik Konoha. Bahkan ia mempunyai cabang di distrik Suna.

Mereka berdua baru saja pulang berkencan pada malam ini. Sebenarnya ini adalah kesempatan yang jarang sekali terjadi. Mengingat kalau masing-masing dari mereka sudah memiliki kesibukannya masing-masing. Mereka berkomunikasi hanya melalui telepon, SMS, dan juga 3G. Zaman sekarang semakin mempermudah orang berkomunikasi walaupun tidak secara langsung bertatap muka. Mereka berdua bersyukur dilahirkan di zaman sekarang. Zaman modern dengan teknologi canggih.

Izinkanlah, kukecup keningmu…

“Naruto-kun, terima kasih, ya, atas malam yang indah ini”. Ucap perempuan itu dengan nada yang halus pada pemuda yang ada di hadapannya itu. Sekarang mereka berdua berada di depan rumah Hinata. Rumahnya cukup besar dan banyak pekarangan bunganya di halam rumah.

Laki-laki yang memakai jaket kulit berwarna hitam itu tersenyum. “Ya. Jarang sekali, bukan, kita mendapat kesempatan seperti ini?”. Ujarnya sambil masih duduk di motor RX King-nya itu. “Oh, ya, apa kamu mau kuantar kedalam?”. Mata birunya semakin bersinar di bawah terang sinar bulan.

“Tidak usah repot, Naruto-kun. Kamu pasti lelah”. Jawabnya dengan seulas senyuman manis khas perempuan berambut panjang biru tua itu. Ia mendekatkan dirinya pada Naruto dan membingkai wajah Naruto dengan jarinya yang lentik. “Sebaiknya kamu pulang dan beristirahat. Besok kamu harus pergi dinas ke Amerika, bukan?”.

Naruto tersipu melihat wajah cantik Hinata dari dekat. Begitu cantik. Kulitnya putih, mulus. Matanya yang berwarna lavender juga begitu indah. Ia selalu merasa betapa beruntungnya dirinya bisa bersama dengan seorang Hinata Hyuuga. Apalagi orang itu sangat mencintainya, begitu juga sebaliknya. “Iya, iya. Tapi kamu juga harus istirahat”. Naruto memegang tangan Hinata yang melekat di pipinya dan menurunkannya, masih menggenggam tangan Hinata. Ia pun turun dari motornya, berdiri berhadapan dengan Hinata.

“Hmm. Kalau begitu aku masuk dulu, ya?”. Hinata melepas genggaman tangan Naruto dan berjalan mundur perlahan. Ia benar-benar bahagia, begitulah yang tergambarkan di wajah Hinata dengan rona merah di pipinya.

Bukan hanya ada di dalam angan…

Tiba-tiba laki-laki berambut pirang itu memggenggam tangan Hinata kembali. “Ah! Ada sesuatu yang mau kuberikan padamu”. Ucapnya dengan tatapan serius, mata birunya bertemu dengan mata lavender Hinata.

Perempuan itu terlihat sedikit heran. “A, apa itu?”. Jarang sekali Naruto yang suka bercanda dengannya itu, tiba-tiba serius seperti ini.

“Eng, itu..”. Ucapannya agak terbata-bata. Ia tidak melihat Hinata, hanya melihat saku jaketnya. Sebenarnya bukan karena sakunya yang keren itu yang dilihatnya, tapi isi yang ada di dalam.

Naruto sedikit ragu-ragu untuk memberikan ‘benda’ itu pada Hinata. Akhirnya, dia memutuskan agar memberikannya suatu saat nanti. “Bukan apa-apa. Aku hanya mau memberikan ciuman selamat malam padamu”. Ia tersenyum dan merapikan poni rambut Hinata. Menatanya sehingga terlihat ada sedikit ruang. Lalu, ia mendekatkan kepalanya dengan kepala Hinata, dengan sedikit membungkukkan diri. Ia mencium kening Hinata.

Saat itu angin terasa berhenti bertiup. Saat itu dunia terasa sangat hening. Seakan-akan hanya mereka berdua yang ada di dunia ini. Perempuan itu kini merasa sangat bahagia. Laki-laki yang sudah lama ia kagumi dan cintai sejak pertama kali ia bertemu saat masih kecil ternyata sangat tulus mencintai dan menyayangi dirinya. Ia memejamkan matanya, menikmati kecupan hangat yang berada di keningnya itu.

Naruto melepaskan ciumannya. Ia menatap Hinata dalam-dalam dengan matanya yang berwarana biru cerah itu. “Selamat malam, ya!”. Sekali lagi ia tersenyum lebar. Ia berjalan mundur dengan masih menatap Hinata. Lalu, ia menaiki motornya, buah dari hasil kristalisasi keringatnya selama ini.

“Ya”. Perempuan itu juga membalas senyuman yang diberikannya itu dengan seulas senyuman yang manis. Bahagia. Hanya itu yang dirasakannya sekarang.

“Jangan tidur malam-malam, ya! Aku pasti akan menghubungimu”. Pinta laki-laki itu. Ia men-starter motornya dan menaikkan standart motor. Kemudian ia memakai helm full-face hitam bercorak api yang membara dan mengencangkan resleting jaket kulitnya itu.

Hinata mengangguk.

Ia meng-gas motornya dan pergi. Sebelum itu, ia melambaikan tangannya pada Hinata. Dan Hinata juga membalas lambaiannya. Ia pun masuk ke dalam rumah.

Esok pagi, kau buka jendela…

Kan kau dapati seikat kembang merah…

Pagi hari tiba. Burung-burung melantunkan nyanyiannya. Matahari memancarkan sinarnya. Sinar terik matahari itu menembus jendela kamar seorang perempuan yang bernuansakan dengan warna lavender. Perempuan itu pun bangun dari tidurnya. Tubuhnya yang mungil tertutup oleh selimut hangat.

Ia pun bangkit, dan merilexkan tubuhnya. Tidurnya sangatlah nyenyak. Kejadian malam itu masih terngiang dalam pikirannya, bahkan sampai terbawa ke alam mimpi. Ia tak akan pernah melupakan kejadian itu. Walaupun itu bukan pertama kalinya Naruto melakukan itu, Hinata tetaplah senang.

Lalu, ia mengambil handphone N70-nya yang tergeletak di samping bantal tidurnya itu, dan melihat jam yang tertera di layer. Jam tujuh pagi. Seharusnya pagi ini ia sudah terlambat pergi kerja. Tapi sekarang adalah hari Minggu. Hari dimana semua orang melepas seluruh lelahnya dan membiarkan otak dan tubuh beristirahat. Hari dimana sang pemilik butik beristirahat sejenak dari pekerjaannya.

Tapi tidak bagi Naruto. Jarang sekali ia mendapat jatah liburan dari perusahaannya, termasuk pada hari Minggu. Ia benar-benar sibuk. Sampai-sampai waktu untuk berhubungan dengan Hinata tidaklah begitu banyak. Meskipun begitu, ia selalu tetap semangat untuk bekerja. Hinata pun terus men-supportnya.

Pagi ini benar-benar indah, itulah yang dipikirkan perempuan yang telah beranjak dari tempat tidurnya itu. Ia merapikan tempat tidurnya. Sesekali ia melirik fotonya saat bersama dengan kekasihnya, Naruto, yang berada di samping tempat tidur diatas meja. Ia hanya tersenyum melihat itu.

Hinata melihat embun bening menebal di jendelanya. Ia bermaksud untuk membersihkannya. Tapi saat ia membuka jendela, terlihatlah sebuah pemandangan yang indah di bawah. Tulisan ‘H’ besar dengan warna merah, itu adalah sekumpulan bunga mawar yang dirangkai menjadi satu. Ia sangat terpesona sekaligus tidak menyadari apa yang dilihatnya itu. Ternyata itu bukanlah mimpi, itu kenyataan

Di sekitar situ, berdiri seseorang dengan rambut kuning memakai kemeja dan kaus oblong serta celana jeans yang cukup matching. Laki-laki itu melambaikan tangannya dengan semangat pada perempuan yang berada di ambang jendela itu. “Selamat pagi, Hinata-hime!”.

Engkau tahu, aku mulai bosan…

Bercumbu dengan bayang-bayang…

Ia benar-benar tidak mempercayai apa yang dilihatnya. Seharusnya Naruto sudah berada di Amerika, karena ia mengambil flight subuh. Tetapi tidak. Kini Naruto berdiri di halaman rumahnya dengan sebuah surprise yang tidak pernah ia dapatkan darinya. “Naruto-kun, kenapa kamu tidak pergi ke Amerika?”

Naruto hanya tertawa. “Ada yang lebih penting dari itu semua, Hinata-chan”. Ia sedikit mengencangkan suaranya. “Turunlah!”.

Perempuan itu langsung bergegas. Ia langsung mengganti piyamanya dengan pakaian biasa. Hinata menuruni tangga dan berpapasan dengan Neji. Neji hanya menyapanya dan tersenyum. Sepertinya ia sudah tahu apa yang dilakukan oleh Naruto diluar. Ia pun membuka pintu masuk rumah. Naruto berdiri di depan pintunya.

Naruto menyapanya lagi. “Selamat pagi, Hinata-hime”. Ia berpakaian sangat rapi, tapi rambut kuning jabriknya itu tidak bisa dirapikan. Tangannya berada di belakang, seperti menyembunyikan sesuatu. “Sebelum itu, ada yang mau kuberikan padamu”. Ia kemudian memberikan se-bucket bunga mawar yang dari tadi disembunyikannya.

“Naruto-kun, tidak usah seperti ini..”. Hinata menerima pemberian Naruto. Ia mencium bunga mawar itu. Wangi. Harum semerbak.

Ia hanya tersenyum lebar. “Apa kamu sudah siap pergi?”.

Hinata terlihat heran. “Eh, pergi kemana?”.

“Sudahlah. Ikut saja”. Serunya sambil menarik tangan Hinata.

Bantulah aku temukan diri…

Menyambut pagi, membuang sepi…

“Kita mau pergi kemana, Naruto-kun?”. Tanyanya dari belakang tubuh Naruto. Kini ia menaiki motor bersama dengan Naruto. Naruto cukup kencang melajukan kendaraannya itu, sehingga Hinata harus memeluk erat Naruto. “Lalu, kenapa kamu tidak pergi ke Amerika?”.

“Sebentar lagi kita sampai, kok”. Ucapnya dari balik helm full-facenya. “Lagipula jika aku pergi kesana, aku tidak bisa bertemu denganmu untuk waktu yang lama. Jadi, kutolak saja dan kuberikan job itu pada Sasuke-teme”.

“Tapi itu `kan sangat penting untuk karirmu. Masa` kamu mau menyerahkannya begitu saja?”. Tanya Hinata cemas.

“Hahaha! Kamu itu lebih penting dari itu semua!”. Serunya sambil menambah kecepatan motornya.

to be continued

Chapter 2

Mereka berdua kini berada di sebuah hutan yang tidak begitu lebat dan masih ada jalan setapak. Di ujung jalan itu ada sebuah danau. Danau itu cukup luas, airnya jernih, dan ikan-ikan yang berenang terlihat dengan jelas. Mereka berjalan menuju tepi danau.

“Naruto-kun, bukankah ini…?” Ucap perempuan itu, wajahnya menunjukkan ketidakpercayaan.

Naruto tersenyum. “Ya. Apa kau masih ingat?”. Ia menatap Hinata, pikirannya kini dipenuhi oleh kenangan-kenangan masa lalu.

Izinkanlah aku kenang sejenak perjalanan…

…oooOOO

Pemuda berambut pirang itu berdiri di jembatan di tepi danau, menghadap seorang gadis berambut indigo dengan potongan pendek. Mentari senja memancarkan sinarnya. Membuat sebuah siluet dua orang yang berhadapan jika dilihat dari jauh. Mereka berdua terlihat sangat canggung.

“Hinata-chan.. Ada yang mau.. aku bicarakan..”, Ucap anak laki-laki bermata biru itu, dengan terbata-bata, mukanya memerah sehingga membuat perpaduan antara warna merah dan kecoklatan di kulitnya.

Gadis itu sama saja. Kulitnya yang seputih salju dipenuhi oleh warna merah, bukan darah, “A, ada.. apa, Naruto-kun..?”, tanyanya dengan terbata-bata, sama seperti Naruto.

Naruto terdiam.

Dalam pikirannya, ia sedang mencari kata-kata yang tepat agar bisa diutarakan pada gadis yang ada di hadapannya. Sebenarnya, ia sudah punya. Tapi sulit. Lidahnya benar-benar tertahan. Tertahan oleh sebuah benda tak terlihat. Seolah-olah ada seseorang yang menarik lidahnya dengan sebuah tang hingga menjulur keluar.

Bagaimana mungkin? Seorang Naruto yang dikenal hiperaktif dan tidak tahu malu serta berbicara tanpa pernah berpikir terlebih dahulu kini sulit berbicara apalagi dirinya sekarang membatu tanpa sebab yang jelas?

Mungkin hal ini disebabkan oleh kebodohannya yang benar-benar bodoh. Ia tahu bahwa dirinya disukai oleh seorang gadis. Ya. Gadis manis yang polos. Yang menyukai Naruto apa adanya. Tanpa melihat kekurangannya, melainkan kelebihannya. Tapi apa yang dilakukan oleh Naruto? Ia tidak memperdulikan hal itu. Ia malah memilih seorang gadis yang ia tahu sendiri bahwa gadis itu menyukai sahabatnya. Bahkan, gadis itu menolak Naruto, dengan cara yang halus. ‘Aku menganggapmu sebagai sahabatku’, Begitulah katanya pada Naruto. Setelah itu ia mulai menyadari bahwa Hinata-lah yang selalu hadir disaat ia sendiri. Untuk sebuah curahan hati. Tentang Sakura, bukan Hinata. Naruto sangat menyesali kebodohannya, padahal ia tahu Hinata menyukainya, tapi ia malah curhat pada Hinata tentang Sakura. Apa yang Hinata rasakan? Mengingat hal itu, membuat hatinya tercabik-cabik.

Kenapa ia begitu bodoh? Menyesal. Menyesal. Cinta itu bukanlah sebuah persepsi yang rumit. Cinta itu bukan datang tiba-tiba. Tidak ada yang namanya jatuh cinta pada pandangan pertama. Itu semua bull-shit! Cinta pandangan pertama hanyalah sebuah saat dimana nafsu dan emosi tertawa dan menari-nari diatas otak kita yang tidak dapat dikontrol dengan baik. Cinta hanya butuh sebuah kebersamaan. Dan Hinata, telah memenuhi syarat sebuah cinta.

Jika ia melihat Hinata yang selalu tersenyum manis, yang ia lihat hanyalah sebuah kesedihan tak berujung dari lubuk hatinya yang ditutupi dengan senyum palsu. Bahkan saat ia memergokinya menangis, gadis itu menampik dirinya menangis dan malah memberikan senyum palsu yang selalu ia perlihatkan. Hatinya benar-benar miris melihat itu.

Sebenarnya cintanya pada Hinata; bukan karena kasihan melihat Hinata yang berada dalam keterpurukan, bukan sebagai rasa terima kasihnya karena ia telah mencintai dirinya , bukan sebagai ucapan minta maaf karena ia telah memperdulikan perasaan Hinata. Tapi karena memang cinta. Bukankah cinta itu abstrak? Tidak ada yang dapat menggambarkan sebuah cinta. Cinta itu berbentuk hati? Memang cinta itu berasal dari hati. Tapi bukan hati dalam arti ‘Alat Ekskresi Manusia’, melainkan hati yang berasal dari dalam diri manusia itu sendiri, yang tidak bisa dilihat oleh mata telanjang, hanya bisa dilihat oleh perasaan juga. Disini ‘Mata Dibalas Mata’ berlaku.

Naruto mengakui bahwa Hinata adalah seorang gadis yang cantik. Manis. Baik hati. Juga tidak sombong walaupun dia adalah salah seorang keluarga Hyuuga yang terpandang. Ia juga gadis yang pintar, juga senang berteman dengan semua orang. Tapi hanya satu kendalanya. Malu. Ia benar-benar gadis yang pemalu untuk bisa bergaul dengan orang-orang di sekitarnya. Di saat itulah, Naruto hadir. Ia tidak hanya hadir untuk memberikan dorongan semangat untuk bisa bergaul dengan teman-teman, ia juga hadir mengisi hatinya. Mengisi sebuah tempat bernama ‘Cinta’ di lubuk hatinya yang terdalam.

Sasuke sebagai sahabatnya sejak kecil selalu menyarankannya agar bersama Hinata. Begitu juga Neji, sebagai seorang sepupu Hinata sekaligus kakak. Semua teman-temannya sudah tahu bahwa Hinata menyukai dirinya. Sakura juga. Bahkan, ia memohon pada Naruto.

Akhirnya, ia mengambil sebuah keputusan. Ia harus menyatakan cintanya pada Hinata. Mungkin ini terdengar sebagai pelampiasan karena tidak berhasil mendapatkan Sakura. Tapi ini benar-benar berasal dari perasaannya sendiri. Bukan karena paksaan. Tetapi cinta. Lagi-lagi cinta. Sebuah jawaban yang sama sekali tidak berujung.

Dan kini keberaniannya sudah terkumpul, “Aku.. suka kamu.. Hinata-chan..”

Gadis itu terdiam. Mencerna kata-kata yang telah ia dengar barusan. Suara sekelompok burung transmigran yang berterbangan di atas danau sedikit mengganggunya untuk membuat otaknya memproses kata-kata. ‘Aku’. ‘Suka’. ‘Kamu’. Ia telah mendapatkan kata-kata itu. Tapi kini perasaannya yang bekerja dan hatinya berbicara, ‘Naruto-kun.. menyukai..ku’.

“Maaf, Naruto-kun.. Apa saat ini kamu.. sedang bercanda?” ucapnya pada Naruto.

“Enggak. Aku tidak bercanda. Lihat mataku baik-baik”, katanya sambil mendekatkan dirinya pada Hinata, dan memandangi mata Hinata agar Hinata juga melihat matanya yang berwarna biru yang sejernih langit.

Hinata menatap mata Naruto. Memang benar. Tak ada kebohongan. Tak ada sebuah kata ‘bercanda’. Yang terlihat adalah sebuah keseriusan dari mata seorang Uzumaki Naruto. Dan tanpa sadar ia mengeluarkan air matanya dan berkata, “Aku menyukaimu, juga.. Naruto-kun..”

Mendengar hal itu, Naruto langsung memeluk Hinata, “Aku ingin selalu bersamamu. Selalu”, ucapnya dibalik pelukan yang hangat itu, matanya berkaca-kaca. Ia semakin mempererat dekapannya.

Hinata yang tengah menangis dalam sebuah pelukan orang yang sudah lama dicintainya semakin terisak-isak, “Aku.. juga..”

Mereka pun berpelukan di atas sebuah jembatan kayu yang pagarnya disuluri oleh tanaman rambat. Dua ekor merpati putih hinggap diatas jembatan. Seolah menjadi saksi cinta mereka berdua.

Tiba-tiba…

“SELAMAT, YA!!!” teriak orang-orang yang berkumpul mengelilingi dua orang itu.

“Naruto, Hinata-chan, akhirnya kalian bisa bersama..”, ucap seorang gadis berambut merah jambu, bernama Sakura.

“Hn”, sepatah kata terucap oleh Sasuke, sahabat Naruto. Ia memberikan sedikit senyuman.

Bukan hanya Sakura dan Sasuke, tetapi juga ada yang lain; Neji, Lee, Tenten, Shino, Kiba, Shikamaru, Ino. Kakashi Hatake dan Gai Maito juga ada. Ya, saat ini mereka sedang mengadakan camping di sana.

“Berbahagialah, Hinata-hime..”

“”Oooo.. Benar-benar mengharukan!!! Masa muda yang benar-benar indah!!!”

“Ehm, hiraukan dia. Selamat, ya, Naruto-kun, Hinata-chan”

“Akhirnya…”

“Jaga Hinata-chan baik-baik, Naruto.. Awas kau!”

“Kalau kalian begini `kan aku sudah tidak risih dan repot lagi..”

Mendengar ucapan-ucapan yang terlontarkan dari mulut teman-temannya, Naruto dan Hinata tersenyum. Naruto tersenyum lebar, sambil tertawa-tawa, karena bahagia. Hinata tersenyum, tetapi menangis, menangis bahagia. Ya. Hanya bahagia yang mereka berdua rasakan.

“Hey, Kakashi-sensei dan Gai-sensei!”, tegur Ino.

“Eng, ada apa, Ino?” Tanya Kakashi dan Gai berbarengan.

Ino mulai tersenyum jahil dan tertawa tekekeh-kekeh, “ Apa kalian tidak mau seperti mereka? Masa` kalian mau terus jadi bujang lapuk seumur hidup, sih?”

“ENAK SAJA!!!” Sahut Kakashi dan Gai berbarengan, dengan nada kesal.

Asuma dan Kurenai yang berada tidak jauh dari mereka, hanya menyaksikan mereka sambil tertawa-tawa. Mereka baru saja bertunangan.

Senyum. Air mata. Doa. Harapan. Kasih sayang. Juga cinta. Kini menghadiri kehidupan mereka. Ini bukanlah akhir melainkan awal. Awal dari sebuah perjalanan yang akan disongsong mereka berdua.

Dan biarkan kumengerti…

Apa yang tersimpan di matamu…

Hinata menghentikan lamunannya, menatap danau yang memantulkan cahaya bintang dan sinar bulan purnama. Mata lavendernya berkaca-kaca, “Ya, tentu saja aku ingat, Naruto-kun..” Ia masih mengingat-ingat peristiwa itu.

“Ya. Awal dari segalanya…”, Naruto mengadah ke langit.

.

.

“Oh, ya, tutuplah matamu sebentar, Hinata-chan…”, pinta Naruto.

“Eh? Ada apa?” tanya Hinata heran.

“Sudahlah, lakukan saja”.

Hinata menutup kelopak matanya sehingga mata lavendernya yang indah itu tidak terlihat, “Sebenarnya ada apa, Naruto-kun?”. Jantungnya mulai berdebar-debar. Ia menundukkan kepalanya, menutupi wajahnya yang memerah.

Beberapa saat kemudian, “Nah, kau boleh buka matamu”.

Hinata perlahan membuka matanya. Merah. Itulah yang pertama kali ia lihat. Ia lalu membuka matanya penuh-penuh, dan melihat sebuah kotak kecil berwarna merah dipegang oleh Naruto. Tanpa terasa, ia mengucurkan air matanya dan menutup mulutnya, seakan-akan mengetahui apa isi kotak itu dan apa yang akan dilakukan Naruto.

.

.

“Hinata-chan, will you.. marry me..?”

.

.

HAAAAAAH, AKHIRNYA SELESAI JUGA!!! DENGAN INI SATU BEBANKU BERAKHIR!!!

Pesanku sebagai author: Sebagai manusia kita harus bisa mencintai. Tanpa cinta hidup jadi hampa. Cintailah orang yang kita cintai. Juga cintailah Tuhan Yang Maha Esa melebihi apapun.

Terima kasih buat reviewnya dan saran-sarannya…

Dan lagi, aku baru saja mengetahui bahwa songfic itu dilarang… Maafkan aku… Aku masih pemula, aku sama sekali tidak tahu menauh soal itu… Lagipula ini sudah terlanjur di-publish… Kalau dihentikan di tengah jalan.. bukanlah PRIA namanya... Aku ini berprinsip, “Seorang pria tidak akan menyelesaikan sesuatu setengah-setengah”… Kurasa chapter ini agak mengecewakan, menurutku… Bisakah kalian berikan sebuah saran, kritik, ataupun pendapat kalian padaku? Dan lain kali, aku tidak akan buat songfic lagi!!! Janji!!! Ini adalah yang pertama dan terakhir…

Oh, ya, apa kalian tahu apa yang dilakukan Naruto dan Hinata diantara dialog “Ya. Awal dari segalanya…” dan “Oh, ya, tutuplah matamu sebentar, Hinata-chan…”??? Sebagai anak muda, kalian pasti tahu… He he he… Ah, sudahlah! Lupakan pertanyaanku yang tidak jelas itu! (untung saja tidak ada lemon disini)

KOSUKE GEGE

Sayonara

Author: The Law Of Gege
Language: Indonesia

...

Aku lahir..

sebagai bunga..

Bunga lavender..

yang kesepian..

...

Aku lahir..

sebagai bunga..

Yang menempel..

pada pohon lain..

...

Aku yang selalu sendiri..

selalu berharap..

akan ada seseorang..

yang menemaniku..

menghiburku..

ketika alam bersuara..

...

Tuhan Maha Kuasa..

Ia mengabulkan harapanku..

setangkai bunga yang rapuh

...

Aku bertemu dirinya..

...

Tak terjangkau..

Namun terlalu mudah..

untuk dipandang..

...

Aku hanyalah bunga..

Yang berada di hutan tak bertuan..

Yang hanya mampu berharap..

...

Apalah dayaku..

Aku tak mungkin meraihnya..

Hanya dapat menatapnya..

tanpa pernah ia sadari..

...

Kau adalah langit..

Langit biru yang luas..

Yang selalu menjadi..

atap bagi dunia..

...

Kau adalah langit..

yang selalu memberi harapan..

pada dunia..

...

Kau terlihat sangat cerah..

Warna biru memang pantas..

menghiasi dirimu..

...

Suatu hari aku sadar..

...

Kau adalah langit..

Dan aku hanyalah bunga..

yang berada di bumi..

...

Kita sulit untuk bersatu..

...

Aku selalu berharap..

kau menjadi setangkai bunga..

yang berada di sisiku..

mendampingiku..

di kala terik mentari..

di kala hujan..

di kala rembulan..

...

Kaki jenjangnya yang tertutup kain hitam itu melangkah - menyusuri jalan setapak. Gumpalan-gumpalan tanah melekat di kakinya - membentuk sebuah tanda tanya. Apa maksud kedatangannya?

Hawa dingin yang menusuk sampai ke tulang sum-sum - tak ia hiraukan. Mata lavendernya hanya tertuju pada sebilah pedang yang tertancap di tanah. Langkahnya terhenti di hadapan pedang tak bertuan itu. Pedang itu berdiri tegak - dengan ujung pedang yang menancap dalam ke dalam tanah, gagah. Tubuh pedang itu bersinar - memantulkan sinar mentari senja yang kemerahan.

Ia menggingit bibirnya, Bukan karena dingin. Tak ada yang tahu mengapa. Hanya Tuhan dan dirinyalah yang mengetahui. Perasaan apa yang bergejolak di dadanya kini.

Matanya berkaca-kaca melihat sebuah benda yang tergantung di gagang pedang. Namun tak ada aliran air mata yang membasahi pelipis matanya - di kulitnya yang seputih salju. Ia kemudian duduk bersimpuh - dan meletakkan se-bucket bunga mawar - mawar hitam - di dekat tertusuknya tanah oleh pedang yang tajam itu.

Ia mengadah ke arah benda itu. Bibir mungilnya berucap, “Sayonara…”

...

Naruto..

kadang aku berpikir..

bahwa kau adalah sebatang lilin..

...

Lilin kecil yang memiliki api besar..

...

Dan dengan api itulah..

kau menerangi hatiku..

menyilaukanku..

menemaniku..

memberi warna..

di ruang hatiku..

...

Bersamamu..

aku bahagia..

...

Naruto..

kau adalah sebatang lilin..

yang rela membakar diri..

demi menerangi kegelapan..

dengan bermodalkan api..

...

Salju mulai turun. Butiran-butiran salju terlihat menghiasi langit senja yang berwarna merah keemasan itu.

“Salju?”, matanya menatap sebutir salju yang hinggap di batang hidungnya.

Ia mengangkat sebelah tangannya - seperti meminta. Meminta salju itu turun di telapak tangannya yang lembut. Salju pun tidak dapat menolak permintaan gadis berkulit putih bagaikan salju itu sendiri.

Semburat merah menghiasi pipinya. Ia tersenyum manis - namun sedih - melihat butiran salju yang berada di telapak tangannya - yang mulai mencair karena panas tubuh wanita itu. Ia menoleh perlahan pada benda yang menggantung di gagang pendang yang tertancap di tanah itu.

Salju itu perlahan turun dan hinggap di atas benda itu. Wanita itu tertawa kecil melihatnya. Melihat salju itu hinggap dengan sendirinya - di sebuah benda kesayangan milik orang itu. Orang yang dicintainya.

.

Dan hanya beberapa saat pula, salju mencair di tepi benda itu..

.

Sinar mentari membuat sebuah kilauan..

dari seuntai kalung tak bertuan..

tergantung di sebilah pedang..

yang berdiri tegak..

di kala senja..

di hari bersalju..

...

Kini api itu telah padam…

...

“Sayonara, Naruto kun… Semoga kau bahagia di alam sana…”, ucapnya menatap langit sambil memegang - sesekali mengelus pelan perutnya.

...

Aku hampa..

tanpa dirimu..

...

Tapi..

apa kau tahu?

Lilin-lilin kecil telah hadir..

menggantikanmu..

menerangi hatiku..

menemaniku..

dalam kehampaan..

...

Serta..

mewarisi tekad apimu..

yang takkan pernah padam..

...

sampai kapan pun..

.

.

THE END

Haloo, pembaca! Ini adalah sebuah poem fic (walaupun tidak full-poem) yang kubuat khusus untuk anda, para pembaca! Dan juga sebagai hadiah untuk seseorang yang pernah singgah di hatiku.

Siapa? Dia adalah mantan kekasihku yang hari ini berulang tahun, seorang gadis bodoh yang baik berinisial G. L. H

Mungkin isinya tidak begitu cocok sebagai kado ulang tahun. Yah.. anggap saja Naruto itu aku.. dan Hinata adalah dirinya..

Maaf aku tidak bisa terus bersamamu..

Dan terima kasih untuk waktu 3 bulan yang pernah kita lalui bersama..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR!

JKE

Gimana? Ngerti gak alurnya? Ngebingungin, ya? Tapi orang yang jeli dan matanya awas pasti ngerti apa yang terjadi saat itu. Hehe*..

walaupun fic ini bener-bener gaje karena gue mendapatkan idenya saat menonton Abdel & Temon Bukan Superstars, gue seneng banget buat ngetiknya! ^_^ (gak tau kenapa)

Akhir kata.. Fic ini ditutup!

Thanks buat ngebaca sampe abis..

Kosuke Kurosaki a.k.a The Law Of Gege

A/N: Eh... I'll admit that I don't usually like reading songfics very much. I have given many of them a chance and have almost always been disappointed. I think the lyrics generally break up the flow of the story which kind of bothers me in some weird way. I also find that if the song is not one hundred percent meaningful to the story it takes away from the work as a whole. If I read the lyrics and if they really bring meaning to the story, though, I happen to like songfics a lot. I think I have found the perfect song to fit the mood of this story. Every time I hear this song I want to cry.. The name is "No Reply" and it is by the Seatbelts. It is from Cowboy Bebop. I suggest you all download it if you like poignant and meaningful songs. I just hope I managed to justice to both the song and the story here (

And by the way, I promise that after this I will go back to working on the sequal to Underestimation. If you all must know, I already have about a quarter of the first one shot (the Haku arc) written out on paper, so you may get it as early as next week. Anyway, I hope you like my fic. Please read and review either way ) Reviews encourage the writing process! ;)

Warnings: Mild references to shonen ai. It could be read as a friendship/rivalry thing though for those of you who chose to read it that way. Massive spoilers for the manga from like chapter 174 on.

Disclaimer: As I'm sure you could have all guessed, Naruto's not mine, nor are any of the characters found therein. The song, again, is No Reply by the Seatbelts. Since I am not the Seatbelts, the song is not mine either!

Like the perfect ending

It won't be too long

Till everything I've ruined has seen me gone

In time, I pray you'll forgive

Now you know the man I am

Can you forgive me?

Slumped. Shaken. Beaten down by...

What the hell was wrong with him? He'd almost gotten himself killed. Had their sensei not stepped in when he did, he WOULD have killed or been killed. No... He could not have killed his opponent. His rival would have killed him.. He would have died. That much was obvious upon seeing the aftermath of their aborted battle. He would have been gone. Dead.

Numbness... Darkness... The very idea of the absence of life seemed so precious. So welcoming. Perhaps that had driven his need for a fight. For this fight. Never in his life had he welcomed the prospect of death as he did now. Always in the past he had stood up from the blows that had been dealt to him. He had gotten up and gone on and damn the odds to hell. Without fail he had kept his face and heart clean of emotion. Void of anything but a passion for revenge. His focus had been unwavering. He knew what he had to do and he had worked towards that goal with everything he had.

Perhaps it was his tattered pride, his newly shattered ambitions, his twisted dreams which prompted the desire to fight the other boy. Perhaps it was the shock that had settled comfortably on his shoulders as a result of the recent... Developments... Perhaps it was the seal on his neck which marked him as cursed. Owned. He certainly had not been himself since he became property. His actions, his very thoughts seemed distant... He was more emotional than he would have allowed himself to be otherwise. More evil. But not him. Not him...

If only I could call the rain to melt and wash away the pain you feel

I would

You gave yourself to me and showed me what the truth could be

For that, I say thank you

This was my life

It never made much sense to me

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: .:.: .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: :.:.:.:.:.

Triggering a fight... A battle which would not end until death halted it... Provoking the other boy to share the hatred that already blinded him. Driving them both to murderous intentions... Was he suicidal? He could not feel that mark on his neck any more than he could feel the burning hatred that had fueled his very purpose for being until... Until..

It hurt. Oh God did it hurt, but he never let it show. Never let the pain that defined his existence show... Until today. Until he lost control of himself, lost track of his purpose in life, and challenged his rival. What had he been trying to do? To prove?

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: .:.: .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: :.:.:.:.:.

With every lie that I lived

Part of me would fade

Into this empty shadow I've become

And now I feel so numb

I no longer know myself

But I still know you

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: .:.: .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: :.:.:.:.:.

Or was he wrong? Was the goal he had lived for, the destiny he had driven himself to achieve wrong? Had he been wrong all along? The only moments of clarity... The only moments in which seemed to be himself any longer since the second test of the Chuunin exams all centered around that boy. Around his rival.

Deep down he was not an evil person. Deep down all he wanted was justice, revenge, and then nothing else mattered. Nothing... Deep down he knew that his sensei had the right of it. The new... Awareness... Which often welled up inside him filled his mind with bubbled laughter at the thought. Did that laughter originate from the seal? It was as though a demon had taken up residence within his consciousness and was now taking over, slowly but surely. He was losing himself...

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: .:.: .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: :.:.:.:.:.

I call

And there is no reply

Like some phantom cry

On ears too far away

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: .:.: .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: :.:.:.:.:.

His teammate was so much stronger than he ever thought he could become. Already, he has grown so much from the idiot that he graduated with... His rival had... Surpassed him. The admission did not come easily. And yet... Despite everything that had happened... He would not acknowledge that growth. It was all that the boy, his companion, his teammate, his friend wanted, it was all he wanted to DO, and yet... He could not bring himself to acknowledge... He would not! The power to become better, to once again pull ahead lay at his fingertips. Embedded in a seal on his neck. No acknowledgement was necessary. Not yet...

Maybe his sensei had been correct. Maybe he had the right of it, but the man did not live HIS life. He had to follow his own path and chose his own destiny. Perhaps someday some good would come of his decision. Of his betrayal.

The confrontation with the enemy was not unexpected, nor was the proposition they delivered. He knew it for what it was: a summons from his new master. If he ignored this call, another would follow. And another. And another until he gave in at last. Until he followed the path of power. Until he took up the mantle his brother had left for him and completed his purpose in life.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: .:.: .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: :.:.:.:.:.

I close my eyes and watch as my life passes by

The only thing I see is you

For all the times you walked the line for me and standing by my side

I say thank you

Here lies my life

It never felt that real to me

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: .:.: .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: :.:.:.:.:.

A picture, lying in its cracked and broken frame on the floor and a heart full of memories. The only things of any worth that he left behind as he packed.

He left behind everything he valued that night.

He had almost been able to resist the lure of power. Almost allowed this chapter of his life to extend indefinitely. In another life he could have been happy here, like this, forever. In another life, he could have listened to his heart.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: .:.: .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: :.:.:.:.:.

You'll always mean so much to me

And there's no reply

And there's no reply

You'll never know how much you meant to me

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: .:.: .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: :.:.:.:.:.

How many lives would be destroyed this night? He couldn't think. Couldn't let himself think. An avenger could not be held responsible for his actions. He had his own path to walk. His own battles to fight. He could never be like them, like his teammates. His friends... Their futures were so bright...

He felt dead inside. None of this seemed real... But of course it was not real. By leaving, he had thrown the only reality that could ever exist to the wind along with common sense, caution and virtue. He had thrown away all that defined him.

All he had left now were doubtful morals, a spirit burning for vengeance of any obtainable sort... And a curse to show him the way.

There could be no other path.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: .:.: .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: :.:.:.:.:.

If only I could call the rain to melt and wash away the pain you feel

I would

You gave yourself to me and showed me what the truth could be

For that, I say thank you

I close my eyes and watch as my life passes by

The only thing I see is you

For all the times you walked the line for me and standing by my side

I say thank you

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: .:.: .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: :.:.:.:.:.

There weren't supposed to be any goodbyes. A clean cut was best for all. She wasn't supposed to be there. Not her.

She was not the one that he saw every time he closed his eyes. Not the one his heart ached to find peace and closure with...

She has been closer than she knew. Her words had not fallen on deaf ears. The curse had not yet eaten away at all of his feelings. Had she been another... Had she been another... If she had been that annoying, loudmouthed idiot, that piece of sunshine -

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: .:.: .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: :.:.:.:.:.

Here lies my life

It never felt real to me

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: .:.: .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: :.:.:.:.:.

-Perhaps he might have reconsidered. Perhaps he would have let the words touch his heart and wash away the black hatred and the cursed taint. Perhaps he might have stayed...

Until the next time the promise of cursed power beckoned, burned its way into his conscious thoughts and ate away at his will until he complied. Until he gave in and obeyed his new master's summons.

It was better this way.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: .:.: .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: :.:.:.:.:.

You in my life

It all meant so much more to be

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: .:.: .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: :.:.:.:.:.

Her presence strengthened his resolve. She would never know what he meant by his cryptic thanks, but that was fine. She had served her purpose in guiding him towards the correct path and he would always remember her for that. Thank you...

They would wake up in the morning to find him gone, never to return... Would they miss him? Sakura would cry, but would Naruto? Or would the blonde simply grow to hate him for his treachery? It was better this way...

Title: If it Makes You Happy

Author: Triste ()



"No. No, no and no. That's just too weird, Sasuke."

"How is it weird?"

"It just...it just is, okay?"

"So you're saying you won't do it?"

"I...it...but it's weird!"

"Yes, you said that already."

"But it is! Where the Hell did you come up with an idea like this anyway?"

"..."

"I knew it! You've been stealing Kakashi-sensei's books again, haven't you? You're even more perverted than he is!"

"...So, will you do it then?"

"Sasukeee..."

"Please?"

Naruto pursed his lips and frowned deeply. Normally, he didn't have a problem saying 'no' to Sasuke, but occasionally, there were times when his team mate actually asked nicely whenever he wanted something from him. Of course, those occasions were few and far between and Naruto could count the number of times Sasuke had said 'please' on one hand, but still...

Sasuke just continued to stare at him and Naruto felt his resolve waver. 'Manipulative son of a bitch!' Naruto swore silently. Sasuke knew exactly how to push his buttons and damn, it pissed him off!

Sasuke looked almost...normal right now, sitting on the edge of Naruto's bed without a frown, without a scowl. Okay, so he wasn't smiling, but he rarely ever did. He was just sitting there and staring...and staring...and staring...

"Stop looking at me!" Naruto yelled, stamping his foot.

"Please?"

There it was again. Naruto bit down hard on his lower lip. Dammit, he refused to say yes! Sasuke was just being crazy and perverted and there was no way he'd go along with something as insane as this, but...

"Naruto?"

The blond-haired shinobi curled his hands into fists and then let out a deep and shuddery sigh. "Fine," he said sulkily. "But you'd better treat me out to ramen after this!" Sasuke nodded and Naruto sighed again, straightening his posture. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

There was a poof of smoke, which cleared away a few seconds later to reveal an identical copy of Naruto, glowering at Sasuke with his hands on his hips. The real Naruto looked over at his copy and narrowed his eyes. The copy frowned back at him and Naruto nibbled at his lip, wondering exactly how he was supposed to start this.

Dammit, he felt like a moron and it was all Sasuke's fault! He'd never be able to do the Kage Bunshin again after this!

Naruto cocked his head to one side and the clone mirrored his movements. It looked vaguely confused and Naruto couldn't really blame it. He only ever pulled this move when he was fighting and he usually made more copies than this, but Sasuke had requested just the one.

'Stupid pervert...' Naruto thought to himself, glowering again. He purposely ignored Sasuke and stepped closer to the shadow clone. Predictably, it tensed and raised its fists, but Naruto merely moved nearer and gingerly placed his hands on its shoulders.

The other Naruto's eyes widened in shock and the real one shuddered slightly before leaning in and placing his lips over the ones that belonged to his mirror image. Both he and the clone stiffened in shock and Naruto wondered why he hadn't just killed Sasuke immediately for even suggesting this idea.

Here he was, essentially kissing himself in front of the person he called his boyfriend. Why had Sasuke been so eager to see something like this anyway? Naruto didn't find the idea of kissing one of his clones very sexy. If he wanted to kiss someone, he'd have just kissed Sasuke. Sasuke happened to be a damn good kisser, even though Naruto would never have admitted it out loud and he tasted better too.

This clone tasted like...well, it tasted like himself. In other words, it tasted like the beef ramen he'd eaten only an hour and a half ago. It was different from kissing Sasuke in that it didn't feel nearly as nice. It didn't make his toes curl or his stomach flip or anything like that.

Naruto pulled back slightly to see that his clone didn't look all that impressed with what had just happened. That pissed Naruto off for some reason. The person in front of him was just him and only a copy at that, but still, he couldn't help but feel insulted. It reminded him of the way Sasuke had looked when they'd first kissed. Or had he looked that way the second time he'd kissed? Either way, he hadn't looked all that thrilled and the other Naruto was giving him a look that clearly said 'that was just pathetic.'

The real Naruto fumed. How dare this copy accuse him of being pathetic?! He blinked, suddenly confused. Hadn't he just insulted himself or something? Naruto frowned again. Thinking had never really been his strong suit, so instead, he preferred to do what he did best and just dive in head first, regardless of the consequences.

The second kiss was better, but still felt pretty damn weird. Naruto wondered how all this must look to Sasuke, but he tried to block all thoughts of the other boy on his mind as he settled on kissing himself senseless.

This kept getting weirder and weirder...

'Dammit, don't think! Just do it!'

Naruto tilted his head slightly to the left and pressed his lips more firmly against the other's. He decided to mimic what Sasuke often did with him whenever he wasn't feeling particularly in the mood by just gently brushing his lips over the ones that belonged to his other self before drawing back a little and repeating the movement.

After a moment or so of this treatment, the other Naruto seemed to relax a little and the real Naruto flinched in surprise when he felt a pair of warm, slender arms wrap around his shoulders. He pulled away to see the other version of himself staring back at him and looking slightly curious.

It felt odd to be on an even height with someone for once. Naruto was still the shortest out of all the boys he knew and even though Sasuke was only a few inches taller than he was, it still gave him a crick in the neck just to lean up and kiss him for any prolonged period of time.

The face that he saw every single day reflected in the mirror was watching him coolly and again, Naruto cocked his head to one side. Unlike a reflection though, the clone didn't do exactly what he did. Instead, it inched forward and kissed him softly, causing Naruto to jerk a little in shock even though he'd been expecting it.

As before, he told himself to stop thinking and just go with it, however bizarre it might be. The other's lips were warm and just a little chapped and Naruto gave into the urge to moisten them, slicking the tip of his tongue over the mouth that was so close to his own.

Glossy lips slid and bumped against each other, tongues peeking out every now and again to add a new sensation. The other still had its arms twined around Naruto's neck and Naruto moved his own to wind carefully around his copy's waist.

He knew he'd have to be gentle, otherwise the clone would disappear with a cloud of smoke. Naruto didn't know how long they'd been at this, but it would kind of be a shame if it were to end now.

Naruto groaned when he realised that he was now officially even more perverted than Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei put together, but he didn't have too long to dwell on that thought though. The other Naruto shivered in response to the groan that the real one had just made and ran a hand up into his hair, tugging on the blond strands.

Naruto couldn't help but shiver himself at the feeling of warm fingers sifting slowly through his hair. Okay, so maybe this was kind of nice, now that he was getting into it.

He parted his lips and let the tip of his tongue creep out again, nudging it against the other's mouth. The clone opened up to him, allowing him to slip inside and explore. The taste of ramen was even stronger now and Naruto found himself wanting more as he slanted his lips more firmly against the copy's, his tongue pushing in deeper, so deep that he could almost touch the other's back teeth.

It was then that Naruto allowed himself to think of Sasuke again. Was he getting off on this? A little jolt of excitement sparked inside Naruto's stomach, causing his crotch to jump to life. What was Sasuke doing through all of this? Was he touching himself?

Naruto moaned as he pictured Sasuke leaning back on the bed, legs spread wide with one hand down between them, rubbing over the front of his shorts and panting softly. He wanted to look and see what he was doing, but he also didn't want to break the kiss. The copy of himself solved the dilemma for him though by drawing back just a little so that Naruto was deprived the contact of its lips.

Naruto meant to glance over the clone's shoulder and see what Sasuke was doing, but for some reason, his eyes seemed fixed on the one who was standing in front of him. Cloudy blue eyes bored into his and Naruto stared into them, transfixed. The other version of himself was watching him just as intently, lips slick and swollen, chest rising and falling in synchrony with Naruto's.

Was this how he looked when Sasuke kissed him? Eyes half-lidded, cheeks darkened in a pale pink blush and mouth parted in a welcoming pout? Was this what Sasuke saw whenever he looked at him?

The mirror image of himself smiled lazily, causing its eyes to crinkle at the corners. For a while, they both continued to stare, but then the other Naruto leaned down and nuzzled at the real Naruto's neck. Naruto gasped at the feeling of warm, wet lips skipping over his skin, then moaned at the hot, scalding tongue that slid silkily over the spot that had just been kissed.

Naruto closed his eyes and sighed softly, moving one hand up and placing it on the back of the copy's head, pushing him closer in a silent plea. He cried out in shock though when he felt sharp teeth nip mischievously at his skin and moaned again in displeasure when the other moved away.

Naruto scowled deeply when he saw the cheeky grin his other self was wearing and he narrowed his eyes dangerously, grabbing a fistful of the other's hair and yanking on it hard. The clone whimpered and Naruto smirked, pleased, as he decided to give the other a taste of its own medicine.

He nipped and nibbled and sucked and all he could hear was the sound of his own heavy breathing and the pitiful little cries his other self kept giving out. He let go of the other's hair and ran his hands down the copy's back, stopping when he reached its buttocks and squeezing them sharply.

The other Naruto dug its nails into the back of the real one's neck and arched its back, whining impatiently when their hips began grinding together gently.

All logical thought had completely flown out of the real Naruto's head at this point and he began backing the other one over to where he knew the bed would be. Somewhere in the back of his mind, a little voice was telling him that he was getting slightly too carried away with himself, but he refused to listen.

Sasuke rarely ever let him be the dominant partner for some reason. Naruto suspected that it had something to do with the fact that he could get pretty power-crazy sometimes and he also seemed to be obsessed with proving how superior he could be.

For the first time, Naruto could understand how arousing it was to be the one wielding such power, to be the one in control. He had the power to make another squirm, arch and cry out for him like this and it really was rather sexy. It didn't even matter that the person he felt this power over was in fact himself. The only thing that mattered was that it felt good and now that Naruto had had a taste of that power, he was extremely reluctant to let go of it again.

His body seemed to have a mind of its own though as he pushed the copy over to the bed and shoved it down onto it. For a few seconds, Naruto was able to relish the feel of having a warm and willing body trapped underneath his own, but then his other self vanished with a poof of smoke and Naruto was left looking startled and confused.

It took him a moment for him to gather his wits, but once he did, he glanced over at Sasuke and licked his lips when he saw that the other boy was exactly how he had pictured him earlier, breathing heavily with his right hand mercilessly rubbing over the bulge in his shorts.

They stared at each other briefly before Naruto made his move, pushing himself up and tackling the other boy onto his back. Sasuke gazed up at him in surprise and Naruto grinned down at him deviously.

"What are you doing, idiot?" Sasuke asked breathlessly.

"What does it look like, dumb ass?" Naruto snorted as he slid a hand down between their bodies and cupped it over Sasuke's crotch. Sasuke groaned and arched into the touch, but Naruto pulled back almost immediately, smirking smugly.

Sasuke panted heavily, trying his best to clear away the fog of lust that was clouding his mind so that he could give Naruto the glare that he deserved. As it was though, he just looked slightly dazed and disorientated, something which amused Naruto immensely. "Why'd you stop?" he asked irritably.

"Because I could?" Naruto replied with a shrug. Sasuke gave a warning growl and Naruto laughed throatily, leaning down to brush his lips over Sasuke's, then pulling back again before the dark-haired boy even had the chance to get a proper taste. Naruto growled again and this time, Sasuke did manage a glare.

"Stop being such a moron," he hissed.

"I don't want to," Naruto said with a pout. "It's too much fun."

"Dammit, you're an idiot!"

"You are too, so that makes us even!"

"You're a pain!"

"And you're a pervert!"

"So are you!"

"Then I guess we're even, huh?"

Sasuke sighed, realising that he was defeated. "Just shut up and get on with it already."

"Okay then."

And Naruto did just that.

End.

Hawo Bean


A/N: OO So people liked my fic. ; Well thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. :

Now, I know some wanted a sequel to Matterhorn Bobsleds, but I don’t like sequels, as I’ve stated in my profile. Instead, I decided to write you an original Naruto x Sasuke fic. So I hope you like it!

This is dedicated to all my great fans but most of all, to my lovely friend, Emi-chan! After all, she took me to Disneyland (well, her mom) and inspired me XDD We were the ones sitting in the bobsleds, haha. And she encouraged me to write it, soooo (sorry I forgot to put this in the Matterhorn bobsleds fic!! XDD I’m sucha bad friend /whacks self/) And our conversations had tidbits that inspired me with parts in the story, so… ;

Anyhoo, um, since I’m not too keen on the whole age/ninja special thing, I’m just gonna have Team 7 (that’s Naruto’s team, right…? See, I even suck at this XDD) be Chuunins but still do their missions under Kakashi’s order, though Kakashi doesn’t accompany them on every mission, if that makes sense. I think that’s how it goes for Chuunins, isn’t it…? Don’t ask about age. I dunno how old they are. Erm, think 15-18ish, then. /shrug/

Oh, and if anyone read the manga and went beyond… well, beyond—I’m not gonna follow up on that. Because I don’t like what happened with some people, so… It’s Naruto—my version! Haha.

And like before, I’m only gonna use “-sensei”, meaning teacher. Well, okay, I’ll add in “jutsu” which everyone should know and “-san” which the formal way to greet someone. And I think there will be “seme”, meaning the dominant one.

Flames are welcomed, but as always, compliments are the best. ;

Hawo Bean
Author: the original Kuroi


Naruto groaned and flopped on his belly. There was actually not going to be training today due to some kinda ‘Hawo Bean’ celebration and yet someone was still knocking on his door, early in the morning. Naruto grabbed his pillow and covered his head with it. He slowly dozed back to sleep and his annoying knocker seemed to have gone.

“Get up, dumbass!” With that said, Naruto was promptly pulled from his warm bed and fell flat on the wooden floor.

“Kyaaaa!” Naruto scrambled to get up. “Sasuke! You idiot! What the hell are you doing?!” He glared at his teammate and rubbed his head.

“Get dressed,” Sasuke ordered. “We have training to do.”

Naruto crawled back into bed and yawned. “We do NOT. Kakashi-sensei said we get today and tomorrow off due to that Hawo Bean party.”

“Halloween, dumbass.” Sasuke pulled the shorter boy up by his shirt collar and pushed him against the wall near the bed. “And I meant, we,” he leaned in against Naruto. “Have training to do…” his right hand slid up Naruto’s shirt and his index finger drew circles on Naruto’s bare back. Naruto shivered and pulled Sasuke close. He closed his eyes and his head tilted up…

“Forget it, idiot.” Sasuke pulled away. “I’m not kissing you when you haven’t brushed your teeth yet.” He walked into the kitchen, ignoring Naruto’s indignant cry.

“Stupid Sasuke,” grumbled Naruto and stomped into his bathroom. “You better be cooking ramen!” He shouted at the dark-haired boy before locking his door. He stripped himself of his pajamas and opened the water faucet. Minutes later of showering himself, he got out and dried himself. Wrapping a towel around his waist, he unlocked his door and wandered over to Sasuke cooking. “That’s not ramen,” he pouted as he looked into the pot.

“Screw your ramen,” Sasuke went to the fridge and looked for some drinks.

“I rather screw with you,” Naruto grinned. Sasuke snorted and threw a can at Naruto’s head. Caught by surprised, Naruto barely caught it in time. “Stupid.” He stuck his tongue out at Sasuke and then went over to his closet to get dressed. “Don’t peek,” he called over.

“Moron,” muttered Sasuke under his breath. Even with that said, he snuck a look at the blonde and turned away before he was caught.

“Ne, Sasuke,” Naruto called out as he struggled to get the shirt over his head.

“Hm?” Sasuke stirred the soup slowly and then bought a portion of it to his lips.

“Are you going to the Hawo Bean party?”

“Halloween, for the second time, dumb--”

“Ass, yeah, yeah, whatever. Are you?”

Sasuke snorted at Naruto’s question. “Of course not.”

“But it sounds like fun,” Naruto said, scratching his head while he walked back to the kitchen, fully dressed. “Dress like anything or anyone you wanna… and just party.” He pulled a chair out and sat on there, his arm propped up to support his head.

“It does sound fun.” Sasuke said after a while. He stared at Naruto. “For an idiot.”

Naruto growled and stuck his tongue out. “Be that way. You stay home and I’ll go to the party. I’m gonna be ramen in a bowl. Maybe Hinata could go with me and be chopsticks. With that fur coat of hers, I can’t tell if she’s skinny enough.”

Sasuke glared at Naruto. “If you go with Hinata, you’d not only put the idea that you’re with her in the village’s heads, you’ll put that in her head.”

“No, it wouldn’t. I’ll ask her as a friend-date.”

“That’s not what other people will think.”

“Let them think what they wanna think.”

“Don’t,” Sasuke said.

“Why not? Jealous?” Naruto cocked his eyebrow up. He smirked at Sasuke. “You are, aren’t you?”

Sasuke’s glare deepened. “Shut up, stupid. I am not jealous. Just don’t do it.”

“You are jealous! Jealous!” Naruto pointed at Sasuke and jumped off his chair laughing his head off. “Sasuke is jealous! He’s jealous!”

“Stupid!” Sasuke ran after the blonde and prepared to tackle him.

“JEAAAAAAAAAAAAAALOUS! JEAAAL—AHHHH!” Sasuke pounced on Naruto and both fell over.

“Finally you shut…” Sasuke paused. Naruto was breathing heavily and he was under him. It was a chance to finally try that thing he saw on TV. He leaned down but stopped. He groaned and got off Naruto. Their legs still tangled together, he sat on opposite side of Naruto.

“Why didja stop?” demanded Naruto. “I already brushed my teeth.”

“I can’t do this with all your posters hanging around,” grumbled Sasuke.

“What do you have against my posters?” Naruto glanced to a side. “They look great!”

“They stare.” Sasuke said. Naruto stared at him. This was one of the few times Sasuke talked like a psychotic person. Sasuke sighed. He already guessed what the blonde was thinking. “God, I’m not crazy! It’s just that… like your Ichiraku ramen poster has dancing ramen cups with eyes. And they stare.”

“You’re not kissing me because of dancing ramen cups with eyes staring at us?” Naruto continued to stare. He decided Sasuke had to go see a psychiatrist. Perhaps his past did scar him more than he let on.

“Not just those. It’s that feeling that someone is watching us… like that Kakashi-sensei poster. Wait—why the hell do you have a poster of Kakashi-sensei?!”

“Are you seeing things? I don’t have a poster of Kakashi-sensei!” Naruto felt Sasuke’s forehead. “You seem to be feeling normal.” Sasuke slapped Naruto’s hand away.

“You have it right there! By the windo…” Sasuke’s eyes widened and scrambled up. “Gah! Kakashi-sensei!”

Naruto backed an inch away. “Sasuke, you’re scaring me.”

“Stupid!” Sasuke grabbed him by his collar and pulled him up while he whirled him around. “Kakashi! Sensei! There!” Naruto yelled and fell on his butt.

“What are you doing here?! Get out! Haven’t you ever heard of knocking?!”

“Takes too much of my time,” their teacher replied. He held up a hand in greeting. “Yo!”

“Don’t ‘yo’ us! How long have you been there?” Sasuke growled.

“Long enough to finally answer Sakura’s question on why you both insist on training so late every night.”

Both chuunins panicked. Kakashi is gonna tell Sakura and the heartbroken pink-haired girl will then tell—

“Relax. I won’t tell—I’m only here to say that you have to go to the Halloween party tonight. And make sure to dress up in some kinda costume.”

“Are you trying to blackmail us?” Naruto asked suspiciously.

“That thought never crossed my mind yet—thanks. But no, it’s courtesy of Sakura. She’ll hunt you both and skin you alive if you guys don’t go. Well, Naruto, in any case.”

“What? But I’m the one who actually wants to go!” Naruto stamped his foot in fury. “Stupid Sasuke! You always get it off easy!” Sasuke shrugged.

“That seems to be all, so, bye.” With that, Kakashi fled the house from the window. Naruto seethed after his jumping form. Sasuke, on the other hand, walked back to the kitchen to rescue his burning soup.

He called back to the blonde, “Well, you heard the man.”

“Eh?” Naruto turned his slitted eyes toward Sasuke and wandered over. “Whaddya mean? Course I heard him.”

“Good. Then we gotta go find your costume.”

“Wait—what about yours?”

--

Sakura fixed up the flower by the door and smiled at the people who came by. They smiled back and went inside. Sakura looked down at her nurse costume and smoothed down the ends of her skirt. Tapping her foot, Sakura checked her watch and sighed. Where could Lee be? After all these years, she knew it’d be worthless asking Sasuke and Hinata would have her head, despite her gentleness, if she went with Naruto, so she went with the next best choice. However, he was late. Probably doing last-minute training with Gai-sensei. Well, it’s only fifteen minutes so far. That’s not that bad…I just hope he doesn’t forget to wear his costume… Sakura’s eyes wandered around and then her eyes bugged. Sasuke was here?? Sure she had told Kakashi-sensei to threaten him to come, but she didn’t think Sasuke would take it seriously.

Sakura straightened and stared at Sasuke. There was a blonde tailing behind him… did Naruto come with him? She could have sworn Naruto mentioned Hinata when they said dates. She squinted and then stopped. The blonde was girl--that was for certain. She had long hair and she looked really pretty… Sakura frowned. After so many rejections, she, and every other girl, had thought Sasuke was asexual and here he was, proving everyone wrong. She shook her head. Well, this holiday is about weird and scary things… perhaps Sasuke was just trying to fit into the mood, but that didn’t seem like him. Of course, he didn’t wear a costume, but still.

Sasuke and his mysterious blonde came closer and they greeted Sakura. She smiled and waved. “Hey Sasuke—who’s this?”

“This is Naru--” Sasuke stopped and paled. Oh, that was not a smart move. So much for being one of the few Konoha’s geniuses. ”Um, Naru. Naru, this is Sakura.”

“Naru?” Sakura stared at the girl. The girl smiled uncertainly. “Oh. Uh, wow. Hi there, Naru-san! Never seen you around here before… though you do look familiar…”

“I—“ Naru squeaked and cleared her throat a few times. “I live on the other side of Konoha…”

“Oh… well, it’s nice to meet you. Hope you have fun!” Sakura paused. “By the way, have you guys seen Lee? Or Naruto, for that matter. Hinata’s already here in her kitty costume—she looks so cute! Maybe he’d wanna hang around with her.”

“Uh, no,” both of them quickly shook their heads. “Sorry,” added Naru as an afterthought. Sakura nodded slowly.

“Okay… well, see you two later then.”

“Bye, Sa—uh, H-Haruno-san,” Naru said softly when she passed. Sakura frowned. I thought Sasuke only introduced me as Sakura. How would she know my last name?

Sasuke glared at the group of boys swarming around Naru. Wasn’t she supposed to be with him? He scowled as he saw Naru blush and grin at the male offering her a cup of punch. Sasuke uncrossed his arms and walked over. Without a single word, he took Naru by the hand and led him to the dance floor, ignoring the looks he received. He stopped near the middle of the floor, surrounded by all the other couples and encircled her waist.

“You’re supposed to be my partner, moron,” Sasuke spoke into Naru’s ear as he pulled her closer. A light giggle came from the girl.

“Jealous,” she sang gently and blew a raspberry at Sasuke. He glared at her and shook his head. Giving a sigh, he closed his eyes and rested his head on Naru’s. “I know Hawo Bean is about scary things, but you’re just plain freaking me out here,” Naru said as she spoke into his shirt.

“Shut up,” murmured Sasuke. They scuffled around as the music droned on. After a while, Naru spoke up.

“Hey, Sasuke?”

“Hm?”

“Do you think--” A cry from the left stopped Naru from asking her question. Both teens turned toward the direction. They saw Ino in her angel ‘Chi’ outfit, standing up and shaking her fist at Shino who was miraculously dressed in a bee costume.

“Get your bugs away from me!” she cried.

“They like sweets,” Shino said, shrugging.

“Sweets?! I’ll give them sweets!” Ino picked up her plate of cake and threw it beyond Shino. Another cry sounded out.

“Get better aim, brat!” a bowl of teriyaki came flying into Ino’s face. It slowly dropped off as Ino’s face scrunched up, steam ready to burst from her ears.

“Don’t. Ever. Do. That. To. Me. Again.” She picked up Chouji’s plate of food despite his protests and threw it in the same direction. Another plate flew back but hit someone else instead. Soon, food was flying all over the place. Sasuke could only stare at Naru who was happily throwing food around and yelling out profanity.

He looked around, seeing everyone (excluding Gaara whose sand was protecting him) was covered in food bits and actually throwing it around (excluding Chouji who was trying to eat it all). This is exactly why I choose to stay home… he thought, rubbing his head and dodging the potato that came his way. He frowned when he saw a guy take a hit for Naru. Another guy came running and pushed the previous guy away. The current one grabbed Naru by the wrist and spun her around to avoid her getting hit by sushi. Sasuke narrowed his eyes as a third boy came over. Cursing out loud, he prepared his fire jutsu and aimed it for the ceiling. Pieces of char fell down on the murderous Sasuke while the onlookers looked at him in shock.

“Now I know why Halloween’s so scary. Sasuke proves he’s not asexual and he burns a hole in a roof,” Sakura whispered to Ino.

“Stop trying to protect her or attract her! Dammit, Naru’s actually a boy! She’s Naruto! Naruto, I say, Naruto!” Sasuke ranted as he stalked over to Naru and shook her until she released her jutsu. Everyone stared at Naruto in the clothes Naru wore. Wearing a sheepish smile, Naruto waved at everyone.

“So all along… you were trying to play a joke on us?!” roared one of the boys that were ‘protecting’ Naru(to). “That’s just sick!”

“Not a joke,” Sasuke said through gritted teeth. “That is technically Naruto’s costume.”

“But you—and him—and the dancing—“ Sakura spluttered. “You’re gay?!” Her team members nodded. Ino, still wide-eyed, leaned over to Sakura.

“You were wrong. Halloween’s scary cause Sasuke’s gay and he burns a hole in the roof for Naruto.”

Sasuke moaned as the light hit his eyes. Was it morning already? He opened an eye to peek out and slowly got up. All he remembered from last night was spilling the fact that he and Naruto were gay that were together and then having half the town’s teen boys chase them around for making them think Naru was really a girl, causing most of them to make a fool out of themselves.

Shuffling over to his bathroom, Sasuke relieved himself and then went over to the sink. After washing his hands, he put paste on his toothbrush, looked into the mirror, and yelled.

All over his face were markings of “Naruto’s bitch” and “I’m not seme! I’m the uke one!” Horrified, he looked down and saw his legs and arms were covered in similar phrases. Did the boys… no, he and Naruto lost them halfway through. And this writing looked too familiar…

“Naruto!!”
