Here we go, I'll start this short stories set. The stories it will include will be usually 500-1000 words, I got a little carried away with the first one, but yeah... And they will include all sort of themes, if a story is going to get another chapter I'll let you know and the other chapters will get the same title as the original, lets begin a an angsty story...

Enjoy...

Beep... Beep... Beep...

The heart monitor broke the silence in an hospital room. At the same time, several worried eyes looked at the patient. Sadness.

"Hiashi," Tsunade couldn't hide her disappointment, "I'm sorry, at this time we can only wait and hope for the best."

"You mean she..." Hiashi looked to the floor with regret.

"She might not wake up at all, the damage her body sustained has healed, but the damage to her mind might be too great."

"Hinata..."

There she was on her hospital bed, the girl with the white eyes and besides her a boy with blond hair.

"I'm so sorry, this is my fault, I'm so sorry Hinata." His head drooped, his eyes closed.

Sakura placed her hands on his shoulders. "Don't worry so much Naruto, I'm sure she'll wake up in no time!" Her cheerfulness hiding her true feelings.

"Thank you, Sakura." He held one of his friend's hands. Then got up and hugged her tightly.

Several months passed...

Sakura entered Hinata's room. "How is she today?"

"No change."" Answered a visibly tired and thinner Naruto, the dark circles under his eyes growing with each passing day.

"Naruto," Sakura approached worriedly. "You need to rest, you can't keep this up you are going to get sick."

No answer.

"Naruto!"

"I don't care what happens to me. I just want to be here for her, just like she was next to me when I needed her the most."

"But..." Sakura sighed. "If I get permission to get an extra bed in here, would you sleep for awhile?"

"Yes," Naruto's voice cracked.

"Ok then," Sakura Couldn't hold it anymore. "I'll speak with Tsunade!"

"Thank you." Naruto turned his eyes back to Hinata and Sakura left the room.

She slid down the wall next to the room's door, the knot in her throat didn't let her breathe. After some minutes she calmed down.

"Sakura?"

"Tsunade! I'm sorry, I was just. I..."

"It's ok. I understand."

Sakura wiped away her tears. "Could you... maybe..."

"Hmm? Spit it out."

"Could we get a bed in there for Naruto, I mean he..."

"I'll see what I can do."

"Thank you."

"You don't have thank me." Tsunade sighed heavily. "Life can be cruel."

"Yes." Sakura looked to the ground. "Naruto has been coming everyday for the past months to visit Hinata, he hasn't even gone in any missions and nothing we do cheers him up."

"It's just like the saying goes, we don't know what we have until we lose it."

"Yes."

"I don't know how to say this Sakura, but..."

"What?"

"The Hyuuga family has requested for Hinata to be disconnected."

"What? How could they, Naruto has!" Sakura's hand closed into a fist. "He still believes she...!"

"I'm sorry, I don't want to either, but it is her family's choice."

"No..." Sakura's eyes widened, "no... We have been speaking too loud next to the door."

"Naruto!" She looked inside, her eyes watered.

There he was, hugging Hinata, silently crying.

Tsunade closed her eyes, "she only has three days left."

The third day had arrived and Naruto hadn't slept at all since he heard the news.

"Hinata, please!" He held her hands, "please, wake up." Only a few hours remained, at 7am the machines were to be shut down, it was out of his control.

Desperate he walked in circles around the room, his heavy eyes red from all the tears, he had never cried so much in his entire life, he felt so guilty, so useless, so powerless. Never before had he felt this way.

"Hinata!", he screamed, "wake up!" He held her face tightly, tears once again dropped from his eyes, they burned and blurred his vision. But it was almost normal, he felt like crying was just an everyday thing now.

He crouched on a corner, there was no hope, this was it, there was no way out.

Three hours remained.

Suddenly he stood up, walked next to her and with a weak and trembling voice he kept repeating.

"Wake up... wake up... wake up... wake up..."

"Please..." he kissed her forehead, "wake up. I want to see your eyes again, I need... I need you Hinata."

"I'm so sorry I never told you, I'm so sorry I was so stupid. I never even got the chance to thank you for saving me. Hinata.. I..."

He closed in and touched her lips. "I..."

"I..." his lips next to hers, his hand holding hers.

"I love you." He kissed her, a desperate kiss, as he could breathe life into her. He closed his eyes, "please come back."

After the short kiss he opened his eyes, he hoped to see her eyes, but nothing. There was no white, just the closed eyes that tormented him so.

Tears kept falling, he closed his eyes, placed his hands in front of them and leaned against the wall.

Resigned he sat down and watched over her during her last hour.

The tears stopped, but that gave way to a knot in his throat. In the end he had done everything he could and had never left her side, he knew she would have done the same for him.

He smiled, "I'm glad I got to know you Hinata."

A twitch. Eyes widened.

A shaky hand, his heart beat faster.

"Hinata? Can you hear me?" He held her hand.

She held his. Tears, happy tears. They still burned, but they felt so good.

"Hinata, its Naruto! Can you open your eyes for me? Please," he waited patiently. "Please open your eyes!"

Slowly they opened, she squinted, a small smile appeared, "Na.. ru.. to?"

"Yes! Yes!" He couldn't believe it! "Yes!" He ran like a madman.

"Sakura! Tsunade! Shizune! Anyone!"

"Naruto?"

"Shizune!" Naruto held her shoulders, with a smile from side to side. "She's awake! She's awake!" He laughed. "She's awake!" They ran together to Hinata's room.

"She's going to be just fine, Naruto." She turned off the machines, "I'll call her family to let them know."

As she reached for the phone she stopped, "I'll give them some time alone."

"Hinata! You woke up! I knew you would!" His smile making a strong contrast with his tired eyes.

"I had to," he looked at her confused, "you wouldn't stop telling me to do so."

"You heard me?"

"Yes. Then..." he blushed... "you..."

"Naruto."

"Hmm?"

"You look tired," she could barely move but made some space after she slid to the left. "Sit."

He sat down next to her.

"Sleep."

"But you, this is your bed, I don't want to make you uncomfortable."

"I don't mind, please sleep Naruto." He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep with a small smile on his lips.

She rested her head on his chest.

A second chance, a last chance...

Sorry for any grammar errors, some always escape my proofreading, English being my second language doesn't help either.
