Chapter Two: Unanswered Questions.

HINATA POV

The boy with bright cerulean eyes known as Naruto walked me back to my room and sat me down on my bed, I looked up at his gentle face, and noticed something I hadn't seen before in the dull hallway. Naruto had what looked like whisker marks on his face, they were so salient and contrasted on his skin and I couldn't help but extend my fingers to lightly brush the marks on his beautiful face. Naruto smiled lovingly as I did so, his eyes glinting with happiness as he placed his larger fingers over my small ones; they had a rough feeling, but it was nice.

I felt my heart sink inside my chest and moved my fingers away to hold them close to my chest as I looked down. "I don't remember you." I said quietly with a longing in my voice.

Naruto let out a sorrowful sigh and rubbed the back of his head, it was then I finally noticed that he had dark tired eyes and his body was tense and rigid.

"I'll go find Granny Tsunade… She'll know what to do." Naruto mumbled under his voice, his face looking indecisive as he turned his gaze to me, "Stay here Hinata, I'll be back." He yelled as he ran out of the dark room. I closed my eyes and listened to his loud footsteps echoing down the hall as they grew quieter and quieter until finally, they disappeared.

Silence surrounded the room then, and I welcomed it. This gave me time to try and pull myself together, and try my best to remember. I had to remember.

"Hinata." My name sounded so foreign on my tongue, so… quaint.

Hesitantly, I moved my shaking hand to the back of my head, my fingers running along the dark blue hair that reached down towards my hips. I could feel the sting on the back of my head as I ran my fingers through my hair. I reached up behind my neck, up the nape and felt a bandage the size of my palm placed carefully in the spot my neck and skull seemed to join. I touched the outer sides, and felt a soft sting, but my curiosity edged me further, and I pressed two fingers softly into the centre of the bandage, it started to grow damp as I pressed a little harder and a sharp intense pain filled my head before everything suddenly went blank, and the last thing I heard was the loud clash of metal hitting tiles, and a sound that resembled smashing glass- That's when the darkness suddenly surrounded me as I fell into unconsciousness once again.

"Hold her still Naruto, she's re-opened her stitches." Spoke a strained voice, as she pulled my hair back over my face. I could feel a light tickle of something cold brushing my neck before I grew numb all over.

"How come she doesn't remember anything Granny Tsunade?" said a familiar voice, the only one I felt comfortable with, the only one that had a face to match the name. Even though I didn't remember him, he seemed to care when I awoke earlier.

There was a deep sigh, "It could just be post traumatic amnesia- temporary- her mind might have just shut out everything from the time of her injury or it could have been on purpose, or maybe even tha-"

"That weird looking seal, like the one Neji has?" Naruto's voice said, sounding restrained as he glided his fingers over my forehead, pushing my fringe aside, "I thought she was about to take her place as heiress." There was a short silence before he spoke again, "So she'll start to remember things soon?"

"She was meant to be." Another sigh, "Who knows with the Hyuga's though- Hiashi and Hanabi were messaged to come to the hospital as soon as possible, and another message has been sent to Neji to return to the village immediately." The sound of unravelling fabric filled my ears, "And yes she should, but if her brain was injured too much, it could be permanent... but let me tell you this Naruto- whoever attacked Hinata didn't expect her to put up such a fight, and the position that the kunai was thrust up the back of her neck looks like it's sole purpose was to hit a pressure point in her brain- to lose memories. There's no chance of this being an attack to kill, and the kunai wasn't in proximity to the spine, and was stopped just in the right space of time to achieve its goal. We just have to hope that this person failed, she could be in possession of an important memory. It's unlikely that the kunai was a failed attack."

There was a deep growl, "You mean someone could have done this on purpose? Could it be another Hyuga?" Naruto shouted.

"It seems likely, though Hyuga's rely more on their gentle fist than weapons… but we mustn't go pointing fingers until we know all that we can- we'll have to wait until she regains consciousness in the morning."

I tried to open my eyes, with fail attempts; they felt so heavy and weak, so I tried to speak, but my lips only twitched, I wanted to know what was going on now.

"She looks like she's waking up already" Stated another voice, this one sounding more stressed.

"Impossible, I gave her body enough general anaesthesia to knock her out for at least several hours Shizune." Tsunade's voice spoke once again.

This time the voice I was longing to hear again spoke, "But she's moving, look." Naruto said.

"What?!" Tsunade's voice suddenly shouted as my fingers began to twitch along with my lips and eyes. I suddenly felt something pressed into the left side of my neck, "Shizune, quickly heighten the dose, we do not want her to wake up in this situation and panic… It could become a major risk! Her heart rate is rising!"

My mouth was dry, but I had to speak, I had to get out of this drowsy state, "Who's… Hyu…ga…?" my voice cracked, it was beyond quiet, and I doubt any heard me.

There was more fumbling noises, and then a warm feeling spreading through my arm and travelling up, and just like that, I drifted back into a sleep.

There will be more.

I'm not great with medical things, but it's fun to try.
