"Having so much to say … watching you fade away…." ~Cascada.

Naruto slipped into the hospital, going unnoticed.

"Room ACD361…..Room ACD361… WHERE THE HELL IS ROOM ACD361?" Naruto spoke to himself.

***** 20 Minutes later *****Time skip brought to you by McDonald's****

"Finally…" Naruto muttered to himself as he twisted the rusted doorknob of the hospital room, completely ignoring the DO NOT ENTER SIGN hung crookedly on the door.

Lying in the hospital bed was the girl who saved his live- Hinata. She had put her life first. Now she was unconscious, in a coma, with little time left to live due to unstable chakra and blood loss, ect.

The machine that stood next to her stood as a noisy reminder of her irregular heartbeat, and that this was his last chance.

"Hey Hinata…..If you're there...Thanks. Sakura told me that your condition was unstable and that you would disappear from this Earth without warning at anytime… I had to come as fast as I could"

Naruto held back a sob.

"I just wanted to say… Thanks. Thank you for saving my life. Thank you for being there, when no one else stood to fight for me. Why didn't you listen to me? You could have had a happy life.."

Naruto hunched over, as if someone had punched him, and began to cry silently.

"That is something I will never forgive you for. Nor myself. I cannot forgive myself for not stopping you. I cannot forgive you, for not listening. WHY? WHY?"

Naruto cried, his heart spilled out onto the floor.

"About what you said… I love you too. I love you. I love you. I love you…." He stretched the final you out, his cry slurred the word.

He kissed Hinata's forehead, held her hand, as a tear dripped down and splattered on her cheek.

Her hand squeezed his and then..

She was gone.
