Hinata sighed as she looked at the sparkling lake in front of her. It was midnight and Hinata knew she was suppose to be in bed right now, but she just couldn't do. Not when her heart felt so heavy.

"Father? You summon me?" Hinata asked, looking confused. Hiashi sighed.

"Hai, I did." Hinata waited. Hiashi stood up. "Hinata, I'm going to have to remove you from the clan." He spoken softly. Hinata eyes went wide.

"WHAT?!" She squeaked. Hiashi frowned.

"I'm sorry Hinata, but you've already knew what was going to happen if you didn't improve." Hinata shook her head, tears threaten to fall.

"No, please don't do this!" She cried back, body shaken. Hiashi frowned, looking at her with sad eyes.

"Hinata....."

"Please! Give me another chance!" Hiashi shook his head.

"I can't, Hinata. Tommorrow, you'll have to go. For right now, get some rest. We'll discuss this when you sleep it over." With that, Hiashi left the room, not once glancing at his older daughter. Hinata simply stood there.

A sigh escaped her mouth as tears slipped her face. She'd grew tired. Tired of being there, tired of working her body to the limit for them, and was just so tired of it all. She had already knew they were going to put her out. She knew when she tried so hard. Now, there was nothing left.

"Hinata?" Hinata looked up and saw Sakura looking at her with concern. "Are you alright?" She asked softly. Hinata sniffled and choked on a laughter.

"No. I'm being thrown out the clan." She looked at Sakura with sparkling tears in her eyes. "I've tried, I really did. I just grew tired of trying. They wouldn't see, I knew, and everything I've done was a failure from the start. I should have stopped." Hinata spoke through her tears and Sakura felt her heart break.

"Oh, Hinata...."

"Sakura-chan, I am running away." Sakura eyes went wide.

"WHAT?! You can't!" Hinata looked at her.

"I have nothing else here." She whispered.

"What about Naruto?"

"He's in love with you."

"As a sister! Hinata-chan, please, think about it!"

"No! No more thinking! I think too much! I thought I could be better! I thought I could win Naruto-kun's love! I thought I could be a better ninja for Konoha! I just thought....." She broke down. Sakura looked at the crying girl and hugged her like a loving mother.

"Oh, sweetie....." Hinata sniffled.

"Sakura-chan, please promise me, you'll take care of Naruto-kun for me." She said. Sakura looked at her.

"Hinata, why go through that? Just stay here, you are a great ninja! That family of yours doesn't know what they're missing." Hinata gripped Sakura tighten.

"I have to go. Now. Please, I'm done with this. I thought about the possible outcomes, turns out I was wrong, and now, I just want to go." She mumbled as the tears stopped. Sakura sighed.

"If that's what you really want." Hinata nodded.

"I'll see you in the near future." Hinata said and disappeared out of Sakura's grasp. Sakura just sat there, looking at the lake. At her own reflection.

"Be careful....."
