On a bright and sunny morning Hinata was taking a walk with her cousin Neji. They had been walking in the woods surrounding Konoha for some time before the came across an object several feet from them. As they walked closer they realized it was someone collapsed in the middle of the road. Hinata ran to the person and knelt down beside them, but Neji stepped in front of her in case the clearly unconscious women spring up and attacked.

"Neji-san, I don't think she's going to hurt anyone. In fact, she looks pretty hurt herself." The girl lying before them had a very bruised face and was covered in blood. Most of which was coming from her head. Short pink locks and dirt covered her face and she looked so frail.

"Neji-san can you please help me bring her to the Main House?" asked Hinata

"I don't think that would be a good idea, she might be a spy from another village, further more…"

"SHE COULD DIE!!!" interrupted Hinata, amazed by her own forcefulness, "please… she needs our help. If you won't help me I'll just bring her back myself."

'What's gotten into me? Why do I care so much for someone who I just found…"

Hinata began to try and pick up the girl, but she was too weak and was struggling under her weight. Then she felt her come off her shoulder and looked up to see her cousin carrying her

"I… would get in trouble if I allowed you to struggle by yourself. She's not that heavy anyway." Neji said while trying to retain his coolness. Hinata smiled at the kind gesture her cousin had shown.

'Even if he acts cold sometimes, he's very sweet'

"Come on, we have to get back to the Main House soon if we're going to save her." Neji yelled back , he had gotten quite far ahead of Hinata well she was in thought.

' "We're"? So you do care for her, hee hee.' Hinata gleefully thought as she ran to catch up to Neji.

"So, will she be alright?" Hinata asked the family doctor.

Flashback: As soon as they made it back, she called to a room to be set up and for the family doctor to be called immediately. The servants at the house we're very taken back by the young heiress, normally she would never ask them for so much as a glass of water, she preferred to do everything herself and try to keep out of everyone's way. But now she was giving orders out like a true princess. End of Flashback.

Her father came into the bedroom that had been setup for the young girl. After the doctor put on the last bandage, he stood up and said, "Well, I think she'll live, but just to be safe I think you should have someone watch her around the clock for at least a week…"

"I will!" shouted Hinata with her hand raised in the air. Her father looked down at her for speaking out of turn. Hinata put her arm back down and managed to shrink without even trying.

'I'm starting to act like Lee-san, and I spoke out again, what's going on with me?'

"Well Hinata, if you're so eager to help, then from now on she is your responsibility." Her father said before leaving the room and slamming the door closed.

In an attempt to break the awkwardness of the room the doctor explained to Hinata what she had to do. He explained how to clean her wounds and redress them. Once she had been told everything the young heiress asked, "Um… when well, she wake up?"

"It's hard to say, she had a very big injury to her head and lost a lot of blood. It could be anywhere from tomorrow to a week to a month to even never…"

At the last possibility Hinata cringed. Catching sight of this, the doctor tried to comfort her.

"Don't worry, all we can do now is wait and hope for the best." The doctor patted her on the head and left the room.

Hinata turned her attention to the young girl, she was sleeping soundly and despite being covered in bandages to Hinata she looked very beautiful.

'She looks like an angel… what a beautiful face… wait, what am I thinking?!'

She snapped out of her thoughts and called a servant in to bring her bed over into this room, along with a change of clothes for the next few days.

As Hinata tucked herself in for the night, her thoughts were all focused in on her new guest. The last being, 'I hope she wakes up soon…" then she drifted off to sleep.
