I adore this pairing. So, without further ado, a very short oneshot dedicated to our favourite couple.

Behind me, I hear Kiba-kun whistle.
He's impressed.
Was I that good?
Well, yes actually.
X
Shino-kun is smiling.
He doesn't seem suprised.
Just proud.
I've won.
I've won.
X
Neji-nii-san also looks pleased.
He knows I've improved.
I can't wait to tell oto-san
I beat Neji-kun.
X
He is smiling too, where ever he is.
He helped me during the last exam.
He cheered me on.
He supported me.
So for him,
I stood.
I struggled.
I lost.
I tried again.
I won.
X
He isn't here anymore.
But I know.
That whatever he's doing right now.
He's smiling.
X
X
I smiled.
I don't know why.
But when Jiraiya told me to do the thousand push ups.
I smiled.
Inexplicibly happy.
X
Jiraiya asks me why I am happy.
I tell him that I don't know.
I just have to smile.
X
He tells me that it's my soul.
That my soul mate is happier than she has ever been before.
I don't believe him.
But I hope that it's true.
X
X
I saw him first when I was alone.
Hanabi-chan had beaten me in a sparring match.
Oto-san was angry.
He sent me away.
X
He was on the swing.
He looked sad.
His hair was so bright and sunny.
But he was so sad.
X
I wanted to know what was wrong.
I smiled at him.
He grinned back.
My heart started to pound.
So happy.
Even as tears stained his cheeks
and his eyes were puffy
he looked
so happy.
X
He smiles so much.
Always with a grin.
Always with a nice thing to say.
So I know that right now,
somewhere,
he must be
smiling.
X
X
I don't know who she is.
I think about it.
Not Sakura-chan.
She's cute, but we aren't soul mates.
Who else is there that I know?
Ayame-chan?
Ino-chan?
Tenten-chan?
Temari-chan?
No.
They're all cute.
But they aren't my soul mate.
Her...?
X
She smiled at me before.
People never smiled at me.
But when she saw me,
she smiled.
X
I'd forgotten her.
Until I saw her fight Neji.
Then I remembered.
She was shy.
She was scared.
But she loved to smile.
X
X
I'd given up.
Then I saw him try again and again
to pass the genin exam.
So strong.
So determined.
What I wanted to be.
X
Oto-san is proud.
He said that I'm his daughter.
That Neji was so strong.
I must be even stronger.
X
I'm pleased, but not as I should be.
Oto-san is kind, but not who I want
to say that
to me.
X
Where ever you are,
X
X
Whatever you did,
X
X
Do this for me.
X
X
Promise me that.
X
X
Whatever happens
X
X
No matter what comes up
X
X
You'll smile.
X
X
You'll smile.
X
X
Naruto-kun
X
X
Hinata-chan
X
X
Smile for me.
