Angels Cry

The Future's Past

When Hinata awoke she was no longer in the forest outside Kohana her walking side by side with her friend but in the arms of a fiery haired stranger. He held her bridal style, close to his chest while he ran down the street. Her lavender eyes wanted to flutter open fully however it hurt to do so. With slow reluctance she began to realize why she couldn't open them; they were nearly swollen shut. Not only that but she could feel blood staining the back of her outfit. At least what was left of it. Strangely enough Hinata could feel no pain. However before she could wonder what was going on she found herself succumbing to darkness once more.

"Hinata, will you... be my girlfriend?" Naruto took hold of the Hyuuga's shoulders looking deep into her eyes

"N-Naruto…" she was quiet for a moment. Sure she had loved the blue eyed blond before however as the years passed she found that his love for Sakura was much stronger. She had come to terms long ago that he would never love her that way. No matter how hard she tried... "I-I can't"

He blinked "Why?"

Hinata sighed "Because…" but before she could finish Naruto cut her off by suddenly tackling her to the ground.

"Look out!"

A shark toothed sword embedded right where Hinata had been standing and on the grip of it was "Kisame!" growled Naruto. "What do you want?"

"I'm here for your girlfriend."

Kisame grinned sharp toothed grin as the blond picked himself off Hinata angrily. His eyes glowed a bright blood red and his nails lengthened to claws. "Like hell you're taking her"

With in human speed he was suddenly beside Kisame, his foot connecting with his stomach kicking him through the tree across the forest floor before the shark could react. As the blond continued his attack on the shark nin Hinata steadied herself against a tree. She had to help Naruto!

Hinata activated her Byakugan attempting to locate Kisame's chakra signal. However when a third one appeared before her, she jolted out of Byakugan. She knew this one as well.

"Itachi…!" Her gaze averted, careful not to meet his.

"Come now, Girl, look at me. Once we take you, the Kyuubi will have no choice but to follow." Itachi said smoothly tilting her eyes towards his Sharingan.

The Hyuuga clenched her lavender eyes shut.

This can't be happening, she thought petrified.

Itachi's cold smirk could be felt through the darkness."Oh but it is" His equally cold fingers snaked around her throat and began to squeeze tightly.

A sharp pain was building up in her lungs till she couldn't stand it anymore. Her nails clawed at his hand, her feet kicking wildly till they hit their target: the one place every guy treasures.

While Itachi doubled over in pain she took the opportunity escape. Scrambling to her feet she took off not knowing where she was going till she came to the end of the road: the cliffs.

Hinata glanced into the abyss of darkness. She was trapped!

"Girl, you will pay for that!" her pursuer snarled.

The indigo haired girl took a step back then looked into the abyss again. There a shelf! If she could make it, maybe, just maybe… When she turned back to the obsidian eyed man, he was charging her blade in hand. She turned to jump but the blade caught back! Narrowly she missed the shelf. Last thing she saw was Naruto kneeling screaming…

"She's awake" she heard someone say warmly. Her eyes flittered open and to her surprise things were fuzzy.

"She's…blind?" another whispered. A third person, a chocolate haired girl, craned her neck to get a better look but said nothing.

All the attention was making Hinata nervous. She began to squirm. Who were these people? Where was she? Everything was white. Everything except for a tall blob of… pink? Her eyes narrowed until they focused on familiar rouge hair…Who were they?

Forget that. Where was Naruto?

Panicked she tried to ssit up only to be gently pushed back down by warm hands. "Calm down everything's alright. You're in the hospital."

The moment her eyes began to focus and her lavender met a handsome sage green, she flushed beet red.

"My name's Shuichi. Shuichi Minamino miss…"

"H-Hinata" she said shyly. "Um, if you don't mind my asking what village am I in?'

The boy named Shuichi blinked back at the two other women then at her. "There are no villages around here. You're in Tokyo."

Hinata's eyes widened. What happened while she was out?
