I am so sorry for it has been SO long since I updated

I am so sorry for it has been SO long since I updated. Thank you to everyone who reviewed even though I’m the laziest author ever! :D So here it is— the awaited chapter two of Light and Darkness!

By the way, this is after the time-skip and probably AU+OC-ish.

“Should I still wait here?

But it’ll never change anything at all.

Because I am myself,

And I have to end this waiting.”

Chapter Two: A Hint of Light

Unf… Wha-what happened? I blacked out then… what… The Hyuuga heiress opened her eyes and saw a totally different place from the park she was previously in… with Naruto. In addition, she finally confessed, but Naruto had someone he likes already, and then… everything went black.

She stood up from the bed and looked around the room. It was filled with… frog-designed stuff. Although the place was quite cute, it was… seriously untidy and… small. Nevertheless, it was livable. However, how did she ever get here?

As if on cue, as she turned around, she laid her eyes on a person who possessed the same purely white eyes she thought she had and saw that it was… her? Hinata Hyuuga? Then who was she?

“Ehhhhh? Ehhh?” she grabbed on to her clothing and touched an unfamiliar garment caressing her body. It was… orange? She rushed in front of the mirror and saw that yes, she was not only wearing Naruto’s, yes, the Naruto Uzumaki, clothes but she also had his face, his arms, his… whole body. She freaked out even more. Her eyes even started to water now. This whole situation is just… crazy!

“Oh! You are now awake, I see!” He smiled even though the Hyuuga was obviously near tears -- and was in his body.

“Ahahaha… What a situation we’re in…” The boy trapped inside the Hyuuga’s body nervously laughed then continued, “At least you were asleep the whole time! You would not want to see what happened earlier when I brought you here Hinata-chan, or should I say Naruto… Everyone was reaaaly staring at us.” The Uzumaki laughed.

Hinata imagined herself carrying Naruto around and truly, that was a sight quite laughable yet amazing in its own way. Especially when the whole village of Konoha knew she liked the Uzumaki. She found herself wanting to laugh and cry at the same time.

“Uhm… Do you know what happened?” She fought the tears that were coming out of Naruto’s eyes and asked the man who was trapped inside her own body.

“Honestly, no… I was thinking of asking Tsunade but I do not think she is here now. You are a student of hers too, right? Together with Sakura-chan?” his (her?) cheeks flushed in a crimson shade as he spoke of the name.

Sakura-san eh… She thought to herself, I guess I’ll never beat her in Naruto-kun’s heart…

“Ah… So… What do we do now? Hina— I mean Naruto-kun?” Hinata, trapped in Naruto’s body, asked.

“I guess we have to bear this for a little longer and errrr, live each others’ life? Ahahaha…” He fretfully answered the question of the obviously troubled heiress.

Hinata shifted the weight of her body in a different foot nervously. She cannot bear this longer… More time with the person who she loved but dumped her for someone else. As nice as she is, this is just impossible, she thought.

Silence.

“What about searching in the library? We can maybe ask some elders or Shizune or some one… any one…” she was starting to get desperate.

“I guess we should, Hinata-chan! Well, before that… Does this mean that I will have to be like… you? And you have to be like me?” Naruto asked her.

“Eh? Uhm, I guess so… But how…” the Hyuuga answered the Uzumaki.

“Maybe we should spend sometime together first. We have to be each other, after all.” His smile, although it was being done in her body, just seemed so Naruto-like. Seeing her face brighten up like the sun, like Naruto, made her smile as well.

Hinata then blushed deep crimson. She could not help it! Moreover, she was in Naruto’s body too…

“Ehhh? Are you sick?” He rushed over Hinata and placed his hand over her forehead. Only if I was this strong, then maybe Naruto-kun would have liked me… Hinata’s thoughts wandered over the possibilities.

“I’m fine Naruto-kun. Let’s do our best being each other, okay? We really can’t let someone know that we are trapped in another’s body.” Her voice wanted to stutter but she successfully fought against it.

“Then… let’s start adjusting now, Hinata-chan?” he grabbed her hands and rushed out the door to introduce her to his daily routines. This made Hinata’s face blush even deeper.

At the same time the two were conversing…

“Welcome back to Konoha, Uchiha-san. Tsunade-sama is not in the Hokage office by the way. She has a meeting somewhere and will come back tomorrow.” Shiratori, a new ninja assigned at the entrance of the village of Konoha greeted the newly arrived prodigy.

He nodded and proceeded inside the village.

It’s been four months after he, Sasuke Uchiha, was brought back by Naruto from everything he has done. Killing people, creating a new group to fight his older brother to avenge his family, turning back from his homeland… it seemed such a long time. He has lost all his purpose in life until he crossed-paths again with the man who possessed the power of the nine-tailed fox inside him.

They fought well with each other, but it seemed that the persistence and determination Naruto had was still more than enough to bring him back home. However, he was thankful although it seemed disgraceful to a man of his caliber.

As to speak of the devil, Naruto appeared… being dragged by a girl (“…Was that the Hyuuga girl?” “Eh, isn’t he supposed to drag the girl? Not the other way around?” “It’s Naruto and Hinata-san? … Eh, they are together?”) behind. Because of curiosity, Sasuke started to walk in the direction the two have run to since he had nothing else to do because Tsunade, who ordered him to do a delivery mission to some obsolete village far away, was not in Konoha at this moment.
