Naruto: HI!

Me: Ughhh...hi...

Naruto: What's with you?

Me: Too much Halloween candy...ugghhh

Naruto: Can I have some, too?

Me: ...sure...-hands Naruto candy-

Naruto: -eats all of it-

Me: How do you eat so much and NOT get fat?

Sasuke: He has to feed two things...

Me: OMG he's pregnant?

Sasuke and Naruto: ...NO!!

Hinata ran threw the trees. She had to get home, quickly! "Father will kill me!" She whined and ran faster, afraid of her father's wrath. Then she reached her large house.

And stopped to look at it, somehow knowing this was the last time she would see it up close. Tears about to start falling, she walked into the mansion and sighed.

She then looked both ways and ran to the door of the dining room where she heard her father say "How dare she be late! She's turning eighteen in a month! And she's still so pathetic!"

Tears dropped silently on the elegantly carpeted floor. Hinata shook her head and dropped to her knees making a 'thump' sound.

Hinata covered her face with her small, skinny fingers. She sobbed softly, Hiashi opened the door and kicked her out out of the way.

Hinata flew a while but fell back, hitting the floor with an 'oof'.

"You think this is a joke?! Huh?! Well...you little bitch it isn't! This is important to the Hyuga name and I'm given you seventeen years to get strong! But you didn't, did you? Since the day you were born I knew you were no good! You! You! Your a disgrace! When you turn eighteen you will be branded and whining and crying won't help you! Now leave my presents!" Hiashi yelled kicking her even harder.

As soon as the foul man left Hinata whimpered, it hurt, all of it, h-how could he? S-so cruel! 'Okaasan...I miss you.' Hinata thought.

Hanabi ran toward her sister. Tears glistening behind her.

"Hinata! Hinata! Are you alright?" Hanabi yelled dropping down to help Hinata. There was no response. Minutes went by and still no response.

Hanabi leaned on her sister and cried. Her small tears wetting Hinata's shirt. Neji, Lee, and Tenten came threw the hall way. Tenten saw this and ran toward Hanabi and Hinata.

"What happened to her?! What happened?!" Tenten yelled worried for her loving friend.

"H-He h-hurt her...he kicked her! In the gut...and her heart..." Hanabi said quietly. Tenten and Hanabi started crying loudly. Neji and Lee rushed to them and got them off Hinata.

"To the hospital! Yosh!" Lee yelled as he picked Hinata up and ran to the hospital. A few hours later Tsunade stepped out.

"S-She may not survive..." Tsunade said, her voice rashy, you could tell she had been crying. Ino rushed down the hall and she fell and tripped over Ton-Ton.

"Stupid pig! Is it true? Is it? Is Hinata gunna be ok?" Ino yelled. The whole gang was silent...knowing how Ino would react. Ino blinked twice...tears whelmed up in her eyes.

She turned around to face a huffing and puffing Shikamaru. Shikamaru stood straight. He slowly averted his eyes from Ino to Tsunade. She nodded tears falling again from her brown eyes.

Ino was later hugged by Shikamaru, he held onto her tightly. She held his shirt, while crying. She clutched his shirt tighter. "S-Shikamaru...she's gone.." Ino whispered.

Tsunade walked back into the emergency room. When she came back she was playing with her necklace.

"W-What happened?" Tenten said. "Why are you doing that?!" Hanabi asked. "It's rather annoying Tsunade!" Neji yelled.

Sakura, Naruto, and Temari ran down the hall as well, soon fallowed by Gaara and Sasuke, who looked as bored as ever.

"Tsunade! What happened? Is Hinata-chan ok?!" Naruto yelled.

"I-I'm sorry...but Hinata's gone...you can all say a word to her..if you like..." Tsunade said quietly. Shizune soon came out.

"Lady Tsunade there's something you should see..." Shizune said pulling Tsunade into the emergency room. Sakura, Naruto, and Temari starred wide-eyed.

"I knew she was weak but this weak?" Sasuke said. They all turned to him and with tears flying yelled "HINATA IS NOT WEAK! AND SHE WILL NEVER BE!" Except for Gaara, obviously. Sasuke growled and sat down.

"WHAT?! HE WHAT?!" Tsunade yelled. They rushed in to see what was going on. Tsunade was looking at Hinata's wrists.

"What happened?" Hanabi yelled rushing to her sister's side. Tsunade was quiet for a while...She then ushered for them to come closer.

Tsunade cleared her throat. "You see these marks here? Well...Gaara come here. Put your hands to were the marks are and look they fit perfectly..the marks are a little bigger though..now what can you guess?" Tsunade asked. It took them a while until most...most...of them got it.

Hanabi, Neji, Tenten, Gaara, Sasuke, Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, Temari, and Lee's hands curled into fists, then Naruto's

(-sighs- Narutooo), cause he's a little slow.
