Chapter 1- "A Crushing Incident"

Hinata realized that things weren't looking up for Naruto. He lied on the ground heavily wounded. It began snowing as the snow began to cover Naruto. They were lost with no one but themselves, the island seemed bigger to them and it seemed that no one realized that they were missing. Hinata felt like it was all her fault when it was no one's, it was an accident that couldn't be prevented, Naruto had tooken all the bloodshed for her when she couldn't even defend herself. She watched Naruto and sighed.

'This all my fault...I couldn't defend myself.' thought Hinata. 'Naruto may die because of me, forgive me Naruto...'

Naruto watched the snow fall. He couldn't believe that he was wounded and he tried the best as he could to avoid the strike but it was too late for him. He laid in a pool of blood and agony as he breathed hard and groaned in pain to move.

"Naruto..." Hinata glanced at Naruto as he listened to her soft voice. "This is all my fault, I thought I could prove myself but I...can't, I'm always too weak..." Hinata's hair hung in her face.

"Hin...Hin...Hinata." Naruto spoke in whisper. "Don't say that, you can prove yourself..."

"Naruto, look at yourself! you could die and it was because I was stupid and weak!" Hinata's eyes filled with tears, she looked down in frustration and clenched her fists. "Naruto, I will make it up to you...Naruto, I want to prove myself!"

Naruto got up painfully as he smiled at Hinata, he knew there was something more underneath that shy girl. There was someone who had the heart of a pure person and Naruto had heard more words come out of Hinata. It surprised him how close she was to him.

She clung onto to Naruto as he walked. She blushed deeply as Naruto stumbled into her as she helped him walk so he could sit up on a rock, his blue eyes watching the focus of pale lavander eyes at work. She carefully applied pressure to the wound on Naruto's chest as he gasped. Hinata stopped.

"Oh, Naruto. I'm so sorry." Hinata removed her hands and she began to blush lightly as she removed blood-stained cloth. "I-I'm sorry...Naruto, just lie still...It won't hurt anymore..."

"Hinata...Hi...Hi...nata" Naruto gasped. "M...M...My seal! Annh!"

"Oh, Naruto. This is worse than I thought, you really are... dying...Damn it!" Hinata covered her face and cried, Naruto looked up at her. His seal was orange and he couldn't tell if he was in danger or if he was dying. "Hinata, stop blaming yourself! It wasn't your fault this happned..."

"It is...you don't...understand...I kind of...ran away from my father..." Hinata looked away. "He thinks I'm so weak...if I did this mission then I would prove to him that I'm strong but I failed..."

Naruto touched his seal as blood stained his fingers, he couldn't believe this. What was going to happen now? Naruto felt like he was spending his last days on earth, his demon seemed scorch and he could hear it's mournful cry and it's anger cry. He thought it was his imagination but it wasn't, he could hear it. Agony was hitting him but he refused to cry out and make Hinata worry further, he wanted to be strong for her so she wouldn't feel scared.

Hinata looked out into the distance. "We're lost, Naruto...We have no idea where we are..."

"Don't worry about it..." Naruto replied, he looked at the snow. "I try not think they were in the worst situation, we're just going...to have to do what we can..."

The wind started to pick up as Hinata grabbed Naruto and walked him to a nearby cave, she was struggling to carry Naruto's bag and her bag on her back as they neared to the cave. Hinata realized that she was going to have to most of the vital things for survival because Naruto was weak and she couldn't just give up on certain things. She wanted to stay strong for Naruto, he had always stayed strong for her and now it was her turn to show him how much she cared for him.

It was getting cold as Hinata gave Naruto her blankets, she sat away from him as she tried to get a fire going. She was freezing but she wanted Naruto to have all her blankets because he needed them, she shivered as Naruto noticed that she wasn't right and eyed her. She looked away as soon as he went to look at her, she was still a little shy to even see Naruto sometimes but she began to get used to it. His eyes always drew her in when she would see him.

"Hinata, you're cold..." Naruto had a concerned look on his face. "I know you're worrying about me and everythin' but I don't need all the blankets..."

"No, you need them..." she replied, she moved the stick into the fire. "Naruto, y-your hurt and I'm not...you need a lot of attention..."

Naruto ate the food Hinata made as he spilled it on himself, he was trying to get Hinata to come over to him. "Come on, Hinata. We can eat our dinner together..."

"N-no, that's fine...I'm safe over here..." Hinata didn't want to look at him but felt that she should go to Naruto but she was afraid. "Um, I-I like it fine over here..."

The plate dropped as Hinata went over to Naruto to help him eat, she trembled as she did it. Naruto noticed that she still was red as she looked directly into his eyes. "You're always afraid of me, Hinata. I can't tell why you always stay far away from either, I guess you're shy." Hinata began spoonfeeding Naruto as he smiled with every bite, he was enjoying it. "That's okay..."

Hinata put the plates to the far side of Naruto as he looked around, she began to go off until Naruto grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him and put her under the blankets. She felt like she was going to die, she was really close to Naruto that she grabbed him tightly and her face began deep red. Her head rested safely on his stomach as his arm went across her back, she smiled silently as Naruto began to doze off to sleep. Hinata realized she was closing her eyes.

The two began sleeping as the wind blew out the fire, it seemed like there was no incident but Naruto was still on Hinata's mind as she slept, she just wanted things to go back to normal.
