Author's note: This is going to take a while...

About Camouflage, I don't think I'll continue it for some time. I lost interest in it and I got a huge mental block. I may or may not continue that, but no worries, I won't drop that since there's a lot of ShikaIno fluff there and I kind of notice there's only a few ShikaIno fanfic (or maybe I just don't know where to find one).

This story was supposed to be the sequel to Camouflage, heck this chapter was originally the last chapter for that fanfic. Yet, since I found it hard to continue my other story (They say Gemini are good in starting things but not in finishing them) I present you this. I know, I know... you are worried I won't finish this.. Actually this one and the supposed third installment of Camouflage are finish but the first.. well.. let's just say I'm weird.

I kind of revised it a little so it's not a sequel anymore, though I think I would keep up my pairings. But if I remember correctly, I haven't introduce a pairing other than ShikaIno and NaruHina so.. hahahahaha...

Also I have said it in Camouflage but I'll say it again, I don't know Japanese that much but those words I usually hear in anime. Also, English is not my first language so you may find some grammatical mistakes. Kindly point it out for me and I'll try to correct it.

Well, enough of my long speech... enjoy reading!

Chapter 1: Broken

Hinata was trembling. She knows she would soon fall; she needs to find something to lean on before that happens to her. Her vision was getting blurry too; tears are threatening to fall any minute now. She got to get out of there as fast as she could.

"Didn't you hear me Hinata?"The cold voice of her father made her shiver more. "I said get out of here. Don't even bother to get your things. Just leave and never come back."

Hinata turned her back from her father, trying to suppress her sobs. As she was near the door, her father spoke again.

"You are no longer a Hyuuga. I have only one daughter and her name is Hanabi. Forget that you were once a member of this family."

As Hinata closed the door behind her, tears quickly ran out from her eyes. She run and run and run away from the estate. She didn't notice a pair of eyes was looking at her. She didn't even notice that someone was trying to run after her.

'Please, I need somebody, anybody…' She thought. She quickly lists the people she can go to. 'Neji-niisan and Tenten are away for a mission, I can't possibly go to them. The rest is probably busy for tomorrow's event. Sakura… I can't possibly bother her, she already have a lot of problem to think to especially since Sasuke came back. Naruto… I want to see him, even just a glimpse. He must be busy preparing for tomorrow but I don't need to bother him. Just a sight of him is fine with me. Yes, I need to see him.'

She ran to Naruto's home but found no one. She also searched the training grounds and Ichiraku but he was nowhere to be found. It was twilight, she need to find him soon before it gets too dark. An idea struck her. For many years of admiring the boy, Hinata knew he found peace in only one place; the Hokage Monument.

Smiling a little, she starts her way to the monument. And she was right; there at the top of the 4th's monument was the love of her life. But he was not alone. A certain pink haired kunoichi was with him. Deciding it was best not to intrude; and besides she just wants a glimpse of him, she hid herself and supressed her chakra. She quietly listened to their conversation.

"Naruto, do you still love me?" Sakura asked, making Hinata's eyes wider.

Naruto was a little taken aback by the question, nonetheless he firmly answered; "Of course Sakura-chan. You are my most precious person." He suddenly felt there was wrong with what he said but quickly vanish it away from his thoughts.

"But what about Hinata?" Sakura asked, "The two of you were pretty close these last few months that some even think you were together."

"Hinata is nothing to me. Yes, she's a good friend but there's nothing more to that. And there never will." Hinata almost can't breathe. She couldn't take it anymore.

"I love you Naruto." Sakura said in a hushed tone. Naruto was surprise. Too surprise he couldn't do anything with Sakura's next move. She leaned closer to Naruto and planted her lips on his.

No. Enough. That's enough. She can't take it. She needs to breathe. She needs to get away. Away. Away. Hinata turned around and was about to run when he bumped into someone.

"Hinata…"the man whispered. She looked up and saw his eyes bear the same pain she has. They both need some comfort. So Hinata did what was on her mind; hug the person tight and weep. The man's shirt was starting to get soaked with her tears but the man did not mind it. He even hugged Hinata tighter and caressed her dark indigo hair. She cried and cried until has no more tears to shed.

"What do you plan to do now?" the man asked after her sobs subsided.

"I'm going to the Hokage's office." She said and then she walked towards the said place. She now bears a concrete plan. He silently watched her. And for unknown reasons, he quietly followed her.
