Chapter 2 : Change

Naruto is walking with Sakura on his back. He already walked a mile. The destination is almost near for them. Sakura just realized Hinata wasn't present.

"Hey, where is your girlfriend?" Sakura curiously asked.

"Mmm, her cousin passed away. She need time for herself right now." Naruto replied with a quiet tone.

"I see." Sakura replied.

"So... Are you ok from earlier?" Naruto asked.

"Um, haha... my fiancé isn't at the right mind at the moment." Sakura sad.

"Yea, I can tell because you must really hate him." Naruto said.

"I'm just confused right now. I don't understand what I did wrong." Sakura hold on tighter to Naruto.

"Haha, it's alright. A lot of couples aren't meant to be together." Naruto chuckled.

"What do you feel about your relationship with your girlfriend?" Sakura asked.

"Well, she is the girl who first noticed me. She has the kindest heart of all. I really miss her. I thought about going to Hyuga Palace to see her." Naruto begins to walk slower.

"Whatever you do will be the right decision. I believe in you stranger." Sakura laughed.

"Thanks. Oh! My name is Naruto Uzumaki. What's yours?" Naruto gently release Sakura onto the bench.

"Thank you. My name is Sakura Haruno." Sakura smiles and tried to wiggly her toes. They reached a rest area for hikers. It wasn't too far from the city entrance.

"Dang it! I can't move my toes!" The determination caused her a little sweat on Sakura's forehead.

"I'll take you to the hospital." Naruto thrust his hair.

"I have a question..." Sakura sadly said.

"Yea?"

"Why do people fall out of love?" Sakura asked.

"I honestly don't know. There is so many unanswered questions. I think it's because couples get too comfortable. Then they want something new and exciting." Naruto chuckled.

"You really think so?"

"Yea, why you ask such question?" Naruto starts tapping his foot on the ground.

"My fiancé doesn't appreciate me." Sakura sniffs and look at Naruto with a smile.

"Sa... Sakura it's ok. You'll find someone better." Naruto smiled.

"Thanks Naruto." Sakura giggled.

"Hey lets take you to the hospital." Naruto stood up prepared to lift Sakura on his back again to take her to the hospital.

While they were at the hospital the doctor was talking to them.

"Ms. Haruno please understand that you have to wear the cast for two months before it completely heals."

"My injury is that bad?!" Sakura didn't like the answer that was given to her.

"I'm sorry. It's because you have weak bone structure."

"Ahhh, this isn't my first injury." Sakura said.

"Yes, your first injury made your bones a little weaker."

"What happened during your first injury if you don't mind telling me." Naruto was curious about what happened to Sakura.

"I used to be a ballet dancer. I guess my bones aren't strong enough to hold me up sometimes." Sakura said.

"Wow! You were a ballet dancer?! That's pretty awesome!" Naruto's excitement made the room brighter.

"Haha, I love ballet!" Sakura said.

"How long did you do ballet?" Naruto asked.

"I started when I was 5." Sakura replied.

"Wow, that's as long as Hinata." Naruto laughed to himself.

"Who is Hinata?" Sakura's eye widen wanting to know this girl.

"Oh, my beautiful girlfriend. She was really good." Naruto calmly said.

"Was? What happened?" Sakura looked at how sad Naruto looked when he talks about Hinata.

"Well... Hinata hates ballet... She only did it because her parents were strict about it." He clinches his fists.

"Ahh... Well..." It was awkward for Sakura. She didn't know what to say next.

'I have to change the topic.' Sakura thought.

"So! Umm... I don't know what to say..." Sakura takes a big breather.

"Haha, I'll take you home." Naruto fixes his shoe tie before getting up to help Sakura.

"Uhhh that's a problem..." Sakura close her hands looking the opposite direction.

"Oh... Are you alone?" Naruto asked.

"Yea... I'm not going to go back to Sasuke." Sakura sighs.

"Sasuke? Sasuke Uchiha?" Naruto grabs Sakura's arms lightly shaking her.

"Um, yea. How you know?" Sakura felt confused how Naruto knew.

"What is he doing here?! That's my best friend! We went to junior high together! He left before high school! I haven't heard from him since then! I have to see how much he has changed!" Naruto screams with joy.

"Err..." Sakura shakes her head no.

"Wha.. What's wrong?" Naruto asked.

"He's jerk..." Sakura crosses her arms.

"What no way! He is the sweetest guy I knew growing up." Naruto said.

"People change ok?" Sakura gives an attitude.

"... You're mad at him. That's why you're acting this way." Naruto said.

"I just don't understand! Why would he sleep with another women when we are getting married!" Sakura screams out loud. People around them looked at the both of them.

"Um, you said that pretty loud... Haha!" Naruto pointed at Sakura.

"Lets leave the hospital please." Sakura demanded in a hurry.

"Alright, alright." Naruto got to the position to help Sakura up.

They enter a cab and road to Naruto's condo. The condo was rather clean. It was modern with lots of blue items in the room. The floors were white as snow,

curtains was loose light purple silk, couches were black fluffy looking, and everything else was color match. What caught Sakura's attention was all the

photos in the condo. There were photos of Naruto and Hinata everywhere.

'Wow, they must love taking pictures together.' She thought to herself.

She wanted to continue to look at all the photos but it was hard with her broken knee. Naruto left her on the couch while he went into the bedroom looking

for clothes for Sakura to wear. She waited patiently till he came back with different outfits for her to choose from. She saw how cute the different type of

clothes Naruto brought.

"So which outfit?" Naruto smiled.

"Um... I choose this one." She took it from Naruto's hand.

"I hope it fits." Naruto said.

"Can you go somewhere else so I can change?" Sakura requested.

"What are we going to do about your cast in the way?"

"I don't know." They just looked at each other confused.


"Hinata! If you have never left then this would have never happened!" Hinata's father slaps her on the cheek.

"I'm sorry I left. Please forgive me." Hinata bow down to her father.

"You're a disgrace! You ran away from your dreams just to be with a boy!" Her father raged with anger.

"He isn't just a boy!" Hinata stood up but her father slaps her once again.

"You don't talk back to your father! I raised you to be better than this! This boy have changed you from good to no good! I'm not letting you leave! You know

how our family is like! The daughter must marry a man the father approve! I'm arranging your marriage for next month! You're not going anywhere!" Her

father grabs the stick of shame.

"Naruto is my dream!" Her father starts hitting her. She covered her head crying with fear. Her father continues to brutally beat her.

"Naruto!" Hinata screamed.

"That boy isn't here to protect you! Hmph!" Her father hit as hard as he could.

Hinata continues to cry in pain. Later that mid-night Hinata still laid at the same spot where she was beaten. Her tears had dry up on her soft skin. Her

clothes are ripped where her father

brutally beat her. A time like this would be nice for comfort. She knew if she came back her father would be upset. She couldn't miss her cousin's funeral. Her

phone started to play a song. The muscles on her body was sore for her to even move. She wanted to pick up the call.

"Naruto..."


"Dang it! Why wont she pick up?!" Naruto threw his phone at the wall.

"I'm sure she is fine." Sakura tried to comfort Naruto.

"You don't understand. Her father isn't the type of person you want to mess with." Naruto shrugs and flop on the couch.

"May I ask why?" Sakura said.

"Hinata and I ran away together." Naruto closed his eyes.

"Oh... I'm sorry to ask." Sakura saw how frustrated Naruto was feeling.

"I'm scared she won't come back. I trust her to the point where she will come back." Naruto said.

"Go after her." Sakura insisted.

"I can't." Naruto replied.

"Why not?" Sakura wondered.

"I have to take care of you." Naruto said.

Sakura was shocked from what Naruto said. She turned away because she wouldn't have anyone to care for her.

"I'm sorry." Sakura said.

"It's ok. I'll call her tomorrow again." Naruto said.

"I'll do anything back in return." Sakura put her hand over Naruto's. "I will do any favor back."

"Are you sure about that?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Lets shake on it."

"...Ok..." Naruto changed Sakura's hand position to shake for a favor back in return anytime.


After two weeks had gone by Naruto called Hinata's cell everyday but gets the same reply each time.

"Hi! This is Hinata Hyuga! Please leave a message. Bye!"

Listening to her voicemail sadden Naruto. He was happy to hear her voice through the voicemail.

"Hinata! I hope you're ok." He said out loud.

"Hey, Naruto!" Sakura screamed from the other room. Naruto rushed as fast as he could to Sakura.

"What's wrong!?" Naruto quickly came to the scene.

"The news! It's Sai! He is one of the richest, youngest celebrity! Ahhh!" Sakura squeals.

"That's it?" Naruto voice was lowered.

"Breaking news! Sai beat up his own J-pop member today after a concert. It was his member Kiba. Kiba jumped into the crowd when he isn't supposed too.

The J-pop leader Sai scolded Kiba for being reckless in the big concert. Kiba talked back saying it was ok since it is his fans. Sai didn't like how Kiba said it

was 'his fans' when they are a J-pop group who has been together for 5 years. Sai has been suspended from his company." said the news cast.

"Booooring." Naruto said.

"What?! NO! Sai can't be suspended! He makes great music for the band!" Sakura yelled at the t.v.

"J-pop is soooo boring." Naruto complained.

"Whatever." Sakura didn't care for his opinion.

"There isn't a group I'm interested in." Naruto said.

"OMG! It's Ino! She is so awesome! Her voice is so beautiful!" Sakura almost seemed like she pulled her hair out.

"OMG! I LOVE HER TOO! She is so hot! Ino is my beautiful blonde!" Naruto jumps in the air.

"I thought you said you didn't like J-pop?" Sakura gave Naruto the annoyed face.

"Hahaha, I like the girls." Naruto scratches his head.

"Guys." Sakura sigh.

Sakura and Naruto were getting to know each other very well after spending two weeks together. Naruto didn't forget Hinata though.


After another week has gone by, Hinata's arranged marriage was only a week away. Her phone was taken away from her father. So she hasn't been able to

reach Naruto. She was going to meet her husband today. The maids prepared Hinata to meet her fiancé soon. As soon as she got done ready her fiancé was

already in a room waiting for her. The maids lead her the way to the room where her fiancé is located. Hinata knocks on the door lightly.

"Enter." A voice said.

Hinata opens the door and was surprised how handsome her fiancé was.

"Please sit." The voice said.

"Thank you." Hinata bows to the fiancé.

"Nice to meet you Hinata Hyuga." The voice said.

"Nice to meet you Sasuke Uchiha." Hinata said with manner.
