Chapter 1
Voice's came and went. Picking up bit's and pieces of the outside world, while being lost in my own. I could hear only the tiniest pieces of the regular life, animals the crept in the darkness, those that hunted their prey in the still of dawn, the every so often questioning being of to why I was here, intruding in their lives.

Today was not exactly a pretty day. The sky was a light blue color, almost gray, and the sun was setting behind the mountains. The forecast was expecting rain, and it was supposed to come, but the clouds were just holding on. Naruto Uzumaki was walking happily through the streets of his girlfriend's neighborhood. They were expecting to go on a date today, possibly a picnic if it didn't rain.
Hinata Hyuga was from a prestigious family, and their mansion that held most of her family had to be isolated from other houses, and unfortunately for Naruto, a longer walk. Naruto looked up at the sky. It was only a matter of time.
By the time he finally reached the Hyuga household, the sun was set, lampposts were lit, and children were just running inside their homes. Naruto knocked on Hinata's door, and she opened.
"Good bye!" Hinata called behind her before she closed the door and turned to Naruto. She linked her arm around his and began walking.
"Where are we going today?"
"I don't know. I was thinking we could go for a walk before it rained. When it started, we could go hide in a café or something." Naruto said shyly, wishing he planned the date better.
"Okay."
"There's a park and a trail down the road over here. We can walk that." The couple walked the distance to the park. It was almost empty, except for other wandering people. Naruto and Hinata walked the trail, talking about things that made them laugh and remember things that were worth remembering.
"Hey. Hold on a sec." Naruto left and returned with a pink flower in his hand.
"Aw. Thank you Naruto-kun." Hinata placed a sweet kiss on Naruto's cheek. "Where did you find these? They're really pretty."
"Over here." Naruto led Hinata towards a field of pink orchids. They started to pick the flowers, Naruto carelessly stuffing them in his pocket while Hinata put them neatly in her purse. Hinata wandered away from the field and looked around the woods wearily. Something didn't seem right over here. Until she looked at her feet.
"N-N-Naruto-kun!" she shouted. Naruto quickly ran to Hinata's side with worry filled in his azure eyes.
"What happened?" He asked frantically. Hinata pointed a shaking finger to the ground beside her, revealing a body of a young girl, who couldn't have been a day younger than them. Her dirt-covered hair was a soft pink, which covered most of her scratched face.
"I-Is she alive?" Naruto bent down and turned the girl over. Then he pressed his ear to her chest.
"She's breathing! Hinata. Call the police. And an ambulance."
"O-Okay." While Hinata dialed the phone, Naruto tried his best to get the girl to wake up, but she wasn't responding.
"Hey." He shook her shoulders. "Wake up, come on."
"Naruto-kun, she's not answering," Hinata started nervously. "Is she going to be okay?"
"I don't know. She isn't responding to anything." They stopped when they heard sirens and the sqeaking of tires. Hinata ran out of the clearing and led the officers and the medical squad to the girl.
"We were just looking at the flowers and I found her over there. My boyfriend said she was alive, but I do not know what's wrong with her." Hinata explained the situation a second time to a detective who immediately appeared on the scene.
"And you said you two were on a date?"
"Yes sir." The detective nodded and scribbled something on his infamous notepad. Thunder was rumbling ahead in the clouds. The dark gray clouds covered the sky and the first droplets of water started falling. The medical squad quickly put the girl on a stretcher and ran her to the ambulance.
"Excuse me sir, what hospital are they taking her to? I would like to know if she is okay." Hinata asked grabbing Naruto's hand and squeezing it.
The detective wrote something else down on his paper, but this time, he ripped it out of his notepad and handed it to Hinata.
"Go to this address and ask for the recent patients for 9:50 today."
"Okay, thank you." A raindrop landed on Naruto's hair, and rolled down to his forehead.
"I think there's a café down here Hinata-chan." He smiled and grabbed her hand.
-
"Do you think she will be okay?"
"I don't know. When I looked at her, you could tell she was through a big fight. There was blood on her hands, cuts and bruises on her legs and maybe even a broken arm. She must've been through hell."
"That was really scary." Hinata said, staring into her coffee. "I thought she was dead."
"Me too." Naruto sighed and leaned back in his chair, pushing it on it's backed two legs. "So are you going to go see her tomorrow?"
Hinata nodded. "I'm going to tell Ino and the others so they can come with me."
"Alright." Naruto yawned.
"Naruto-kun, sit in your chair the right way. You're going to fall."
"No I'm not. It's no big-" just as Hinata predicted, he fell out of his chair, bringing attention to the two of them.
Hinata giggled and helped Naruto up. "I told you so.
"Meh. I never did listen to you when it came to this kind of stuff." Naruto looked out at the sky and noticed that the rain was letting up. "Come on. We'd better go while it isn't raining."
Naruto dropped Hinata off just as the rain was starting up again.
"Are you sure you won't get sick? The rain is starting again."
"Nope. Ninjas like me don't get sick." Naruto gave Hinata a long kiss goodnight and turned and left.

Hinata P.O.V
I walked into the flower shop and looked at the pile of soft pink roses, chose one. I went to the counter and took out my coin purse. I laid down the money I owed and smile at the old lady behind the cash register.
"Who have you been going to see every day for the past two week's young woman? Perhaps a dear one to you? A lover? Or maybe one of your parents who has become ill?" the woman asked. "You buy the same thing every day and I hope something terrible hasn't happened."
"No, no one of the sort. No family member, no mother or father, no one has died, but for a girl my age I found lying in the woods a few weeks ago and brought her to the hospital. My friends and I go to see her, to see when she wakes up." I answered. I didn't know why I told her all of that but I always seemed to speak differently to the elderly, and things have a way of coming out at times.
"Oh then, you see her every day? And you speak to her and have become…like a friend to her? Tell me, I'm curious as to why she would be out laying out in the woods all by herself as much as I am as to why you go there. It's much too dangerous for two young women such as you!"
"No. I am afraid you're wrong. And I hate to say so, but you see this girl is in a coma and has not been awake in all this time. So I do not really know her, though I talk to her often even though I get no response." I was still talking weird. If Ino was with me she would say 'look lady I have some where to be, so if you please just give me my stuff and I'm out of here.'
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear that! It's a terrible thing that is. Come back here tomorrow and I'll have something for you to give to the girl. Now you run along and ill see myself back to work for now." She smiled and waved me off. I walked out the door and headed to the hospital.

Ino and the others said they would come back later on today, so that left the visiting to me. I walked into the hospital and went to the sing-in sheet. I put down my name and walked past a nurse talking with the doctor in the hallway. I continued walking and watched family's enter rooms, mothers and fathers crying, children screaming, doctors rushing all around the hospital, and a new patient coming in the doors every few minutes. I entered a room marked 116 and headed to the vase beside the table near the girls bed. I removed the old flowers and placed the new ones into the delicate crystal holder.
"Hello, miss Hinata. How are you today?"
"I'm just fine. So what's new today? Anything happen while I was gone?"
"You haven't been gone very long but two new babies were born early this morning a set of twins!"
"That's great news." I yawned and stretched out my arms.
"My, my. You must have been out late! You look like you could pass out at any moment."
"No. not out. I was up studying all night."
"Good heavens why?! It's the summer! You're crazy! When I was a kid your age I was a ball of fire! You couldn't get me to stop partying if you said my cat died….well maybe." She mumbled the last part.
"Yes I know its summer. But school starts in a few weeks you know and I have to keep my grades up if I want to get anywhere in life."
"Okay…whatever you say. OH! I almost forgot, guess what."
"What?" I asked.
"I am getting married."
"Really!"
"Yes, really." She held out her hand that had a small diamond ring on it "Richard asked me last night!"
"And you couldn't tell me that first?"
"So how is she?" I asked looking at the girl.
"Fine. I think her names Sakura."
"What? Sakura? Why?"
"I was giving her a bath last night. I thought she could use one. Me and freckles down the hall worked her into the tub after undressing her and found a small gold necklace in the shape of her heart on her
neck with Sakura written on it." She walked over to the table. "And I thought her hair was dyed or something, nobody has hair that color, but its real all right."
"Wow that's interesting." I said sitting in one of the fluffy chairs in the room.
"Yeah. But hey, I have to get out of here and check on some others before I leave. Oh and there's coffee on the table for you." She walked around the room picking up her things and headed to the door. "See yah."
She left and shut the door behind her. I went over and picked up the coffee on the table. I took a sip and sighed. I sat back down in the chair and closed my eyes…
"Hey."
"Hello..."
"Yoo-hoo!"
"Uhhh…"
"WAKE-UP!!"
I shot up out of the chair bumping into someone. We tumbled to the floor and landed next to each other. I looked all around me and sat up. I saw Naruto rolling on the floor laughing.
"I am so sorry! I didn't mean to! It's just…hahahaha! That was so funny! I looked at Naruto and glared. "Don't be mad at me! You were asleep and we already had plans for today."
"Oh, yeah. I said remembering what I was supposed to be doing today. I told Naruto I needed to go shopping and find something to wear on the first day of school. We were meeting Tenten, Ino, Shikamaru, and Neji at the mall.
"So anything new?" he asked.
"Oh! We think her name is Sakura, and her hair isn't dyed. It's real."
"Cool…so you good to go? "
"Yeah. I'm ready to go." I stood up and walked out of the door with Naruto. We walked out of the hospital and continued to the mall.
BEEP…
BEEP…
BEEP…
A door opens bringing unknown visitors and noises. Someone pulled on my hand, and placing it over my stomach. Words spoken between the two who confide in each other and fill the room with laugher as their voices echo off the walls. Footsteps and the shutting of a door, the beeping continues even after their gone and slowly drifts back in to the deafness of my still being.
