Naruto
POV: They were lying. Hinata would wake up. She had to. I'm going
to kill Neji! He wanted to march up to
the Hyuuga prodigy and
shove all of his stupid fatalist nonsense back in his face but he
didn't want to leave Hinata's side...
not until she woke up. She
would wake up... she wouldn't just quit like this.Turn around
and pick up the pieces. He
buried his head into his
shaking hands. She had tried so hard, why did Neji have to beat her
so badly. He was so proud
of her, "You did change yourself
Hinata-chan..." he said softly.
Hinata's POV: The
blackness was almost comforting. In darkness no one can see you cry.
No one can see how scared you
are. In darkness, you are the only
one who know how you feel. I, like a rock, sink she was
falling deeper and deeper.
Gently wafting away, gently leaving all
of her troubles behind. Sinking until I hit the bottom. The
water is much deeper
than I thought What was that
annoying drone? She heard doctors scrambling around her, they were
all talking so loudly.
She wanted to drift farther, leaving her
miserable existance behind, leaving it all behind, all the pain, all
the misery, all the
suffering. I don't care...
Naruto
POV: I hear the beeping of Hinata's heart moniter stop suddenly,
there is a loud drone and a flock of doctors suddenly
push in,
they are all trying to do something for her. When I realize her heart
has stopped, mine almost stops as well. Please...
Hinata...
don't give up on us... on me... now.. I quickly grasp her hand,
willing her to fight, willing her to win. Begging her to
live,
pleading with her to try to save her life. My tears fall on her
delicate face, she looks like a delicate doll, so fragile, yet so
brave. "Please Hinata!" I scream, "Don't give up
on life!"
Hinata POV: W.. What? Who was that? It
seems familiar... warm... Her eyes fluttered open slightly for a
brief second. It was
Naruto. He was crying... for her... She felt
a rush of heat and joy. HE DOES CARE! She felt herself
drifting away, it was
soothing, but she could not just leave
Naruto. She loved him to much. Nothing to swim with... Kicking
but I keep sinking
She kept falling into the darkness,
fighting it now, not giving herself to it. She had to get back to
him... that was all that mattered.
She was fighting, but losing.
She couldn't win... she couldn't. Suddenly, the blue eyes of her love
echoed in her mind and she
found a strength that she never though
she had. A lesson that no one could have ever taught
She was reaching up through
the darkness, reaching for him, trying
to get to him, her inspiration, her muse.
Naruto POV: I
couldn't believe it, her eyes had fluttered open momentarily, then
her heart moniter flared back to life. Her heart
was going again,
however weakly, she had heard me! She was coming back to me! I felt a
rush of joy. I clutched her hand tighter,
she was holding my hand
as if her life depended on it, and for as much as I know, it very
well may. I felt tears sliding down my
face, landing on her hand
as I drew it to my cheek. "Please come back to me," I
begged, "We all miss you," and in a voice even
he had
trouble hearing, he whispered, "And I miss you
especially,"
Hinata POV: I hear you Naruto-kun..
I'm trying my best.. but her best was never enough she realized.
She could never win...
she was too weak. She slipped farther away,
losing her grip on the conciousness she had wrested back earlier. No!
She was
about to give up, to surrender, sure that she couldn't
do it, that she wasn't strong enough to even go to the one she loved.
She felt
her grip on Naruto's hand increase and she felt him draw
her hand to his cheek, nuzzling it gently, she could feel the
slickness of his
tears. She suddenly gained a new resolve. She
held his hand tightly, it was her one lifeline to the world, and she
pushed, she pushed,
she pushed harder than she ever had before in
her life. She would get back to him, it was an unspoken promise. She
reached up
toward him, tears falling from her eyes as she fought
bravely to return, I can almost breathe the air... Right beyond
my fingertips
she pushed harder, feeling herself lose
ground then gain some. I'll turn around and pick up the
pieces.. One more push and
I'll be there she wouldn't
give up. This was one battle she flat out refused to lose.
Naruto
POV: Hinata's hand grew steadily tighter around mine. I wiped away
the brave and beautiful tears that sprang to her eyes,
the doctors
staring at me oddly and asking me to leave. I refused plainly and
immidiately. I would be here for her, to whatever end.
Hinata
POV: Back where I belong... I'll turn around and pick up the
pieces she felt her conciousness slowly returning, her Turn
around and pick up the pieces
body
starting to respond, her heart starting to beat strongly. I see
the picture! Blurry.. but now it's in focus! A fairy tale I
purchased on my own... I finally woke up! Everything is better! A
chance for me to open up and grow! She felt herself
drawing
closer and closer to Naruto's presence, his gentle hand holding hers,
giving her the will to succeed. She willed herself
to go faster,
clawing up against the darkness, it was falling away more quickly
now. She was going to be able to do it. I can
almost
breathe the air... Right beyond my fingertips... One more push and
I'll be there... Back where I belong...
She was falling
back, the dark not wanting to give up its prize. Hinata was fighting
it every step of the way, gravely pushing
the dark aside.
Suffocating sinking further almost every day she screamed in
frustration as she felt herself falling. It
wasn't enough. She
could barely hold on to what she had accomplished. She wasn't strong
enough to do it on her own...
She couldn't do it... Barely
treading water, knowing I will not give up her heart moniter
began to drone again NO! Naruto's
tears wet her hand again
as she struggled to go back to him... I will not give up!
"Hinata-chan!" he heard him yell, "Please! Fight!
Come
back to me! I love you! I love you so much!" Hinata's heart
soared at his words. Her soft lavender eyes became resolute
behind
her closed eyelids. I. Will. Not. Give. Up... I can almost
breathe the air right beyond my fingertips... I'll turn
around
and pick up the pieces! She was getting close! Oh so very
close now! One more push and I'll be there! She
opened
her eyes, "Back where I belong.." she whispered.
She heard Naruto yell in happiness, almost hysterical. "Hinata-chan!"
he quickly jumped at her and crushed her in a gigantic hug. She
blushed but didn't faint as she normally did. She had gotten
stronger. Because of him. I'll turn around and pick up the
pieces she hugged him back fiercely, blushing deep red as she
did, "I.. I.. I love you too Naruto-kun!" she squeaked.
A doctor stepped up and again asked Naruto to leave on the basis
that he was exciting Hinata too much. He was quickly silenced by
twin glares from both Naruto and Hinata. They had almost
been
seperated.They would never stand to be seperated ever again. Hinata
felt a tear fall from her eye when Naruto asked
what had brought
her back. "You.." was all she said, and all she managed
before Naruto once again hugged her tightly.
