Can't See Everything
Chapter 2: Thank you
Hinata picked up the lunch tray that she had special ordered for Sasuke. Not that anyone knew. She just smiled and was on her way. She bowed her head to Ino and to a few of the doctors. As she looked around, she undid the seal to the door. She closed it, and resealed the door. Turning around, she bowed her head. Sasuke was sitting up. He turned his head a little so his ink black eyes could see her. She bowed her head, placing the tray on the bed next to him.
"What does Naruto do?" Sasuke asked the young woman. He knew she had a crush on him for a long time. So, she would know everything. He was surprised when Hinata just simply shrugged.
"I don't really know anymore. I don't watch him." Sasuke's eyes widened for a moment as Hinata went to the window and opened it. Bright warm light streamed into his room and a gentle breeze drafted through, taking out the stain air and replacing it was clean, fresh air. He stared at her as she leaned on the window seal, her eyes closed. She was enjoying the warmth. "I worry more about my patients, and what Tsunade thinks of my work, rather than worry over what Naruto and Sakura are doing."
"So even the Hyuga girl has to grow out of the crush," Sasuke murmured to himself. He would need to grow-up as well. "When am I allowed to go back to the village?"
"When Tsunade-sama says you can." He stared at her, his eyes wide by a little. Did she just say she wasn't taking him out? Hinata just turned her head to him, and a devilish grin was on her face. "So, rest up, and hope Tsunade thinks you're well enough to even leave the bed."
"You mean, she's the one who strapped me down?!!" he yelled and made Hinata stare at him now. She was use to a quiet, calm Sasuke, not one that was overly emotional. She began to giggle and now Sasuke's face showed irritation. "What's funny?"
"You are, Uchiha-san. You're funny. The looks on your faces were priceless," she continued to giggle. Sasuke just glared at her and began to eat his meal. Hinata just sat there, smiling at him. Sasuke stopped for a moment, and just looked at her. And not just look, but really look. No longer was she the chubby little girl, who stuttered non stop. Her hair was longer, and beautiful. Her eyes were more confident, and now, she was more open. She had really changed. That made him wonder, what happened with Naruto, and Sakura. What of Shino, and Shikamaru, and the others. If Hinata had changed this much, then, there no limit to how much they changed. He groaned a little. Maybe staying in the room was the better idea.
"Hyuga-san…" he started, a little nervous. "When I leave here…will you be my guide?"
"Hm?" she stared at him for a moment, a little shocked. "Wouldn't you want Sakura or Naruto?"
"Naruto would just want to test who's better, and Sakura…I'm nervous about that one, I mean…does she still have that stupid crush on me?"
"No, Sakura is dating someone. We're not exactly sure who, but she is dating someone…" Hinata said, and began to list off what the others were doing now. Sasuke was quiet and he listened, nodding his head. AS Hinata got to Lee, Tsunade came into the door. Hinata jumped up and bowed, as Kiba and Shino were behind her. Tsunade nodded her head to Hinata then sat down in the chair and at the desk, pulling out Hinata's reports.
"Well, Uchiha, I have a few questions for you," she started. Sasuke just stared at her, while Hinata looked to Shino and Kiba. Hinata blinked, wondering why Shino was there. Kiba explained that Shino was there when he complained about not gabbing away to his fan-club that waited patiently for him. Hinata just smiled seeing that slowly it would return to the way it was. "Hinata!"
"HAI!" she called turning to the Hokage. She smiled as she undid the straps to the bed, letting Sasuke get up. He was a little wobbly at first, but soon his body moved with ease. "Keep him busy. Don't let him out of the room still, until I know we can trust him."
"Hai," she said softly and bowed as the three left. Hinata looked to Sasuke who was now taking in a deep breath from the window. Hinata smiled softly and laughed. "You know, if you want, I can get you some other clothes, besides the hospital gown," she joked. Sasuke then realized what he was wearing and turned around. He nodded his head, and Hinata smiled, leaving the room. As she returned, Sasuke was sitting at the desk, trying to find something. "Go change," she tossed his clothes to him. Sasuke caught the clothes, and nodded his head, going to the enclosed bathroom. Hinata smiled, seeing that Tsunade had left her a little note.
Hinata read it, smiling at how silly she was being. Tsunade had asked that Hinata stay close. That things could get rough and bad for Sasuke. Hinata just smiled, keeping the note to herself.
"Do you have anything looser?" Sasuke asked, coming out in a slightly tight black shirt and his loose grey pants. Hinata just shook her head, and picked up the tray. "Where are you going?"
"To put away your food tray. I'll be back in a bit after I grab your chart." Sasuke nodded his head, and still looked out and around. Maybe, when he was allowed back, he would talk to everyone, and maybe be more open. He could celebrate with Naruto and Sakura again. Not that he would ever tell them he missed them. The dark haired Uchiha's eyes stared out towards the mountain. It held Tsunade's head. He grinned a little. So little has changed, though the large change in Shino, Kiba and Hinata was big enough to blow him away. His face didn't, but he thought it rather strongly.
"What are you thinking in that head of yours?" He turned seeing Hinata with his chart and she was just standing there, smiling. Could she have seen? He was sure he didn't let his mask down, yet she saw it. His mind tinkering away, like a child trying to figure a puzzle out. "If you want, I can go get everyone and they can show themselves off to you."
"…No. I'm fine," he gazed at her, confused on how she knew what he was thinking. Even if it made sense, he didn't really care. It didn't mean she could do it all the time.
"If you say so. You know," she then began to take his temperature, "If you want something, just ask. I'd be happy to help." She began to scribble things down as she had him stand and run in place and do a bunch of other things. "Well, you look well." Sasuke just nodded his head, unsure of what to say to her. "Lost for words?"
"How do you do it?" his voice growled at her. "How do you read me?"
"Simple. Its like when I have to read Nejinii-san," she pointed out. "Both of you try to wear this impossible mask. Silly, its not hard to read, once you get use to it." Sasuke just looked Hinata. His eyes studying hers before he looked away. "Alright well, I'll be back in three hours with your lunch. Try doing jumps and practicing for a bit, kay?" she smiled and walked out the door. Sasuke grinned after she left
"I guess, I'll practice on my mask."
AN: Do you like it? I know Its not that great. I was a little rushed on time. I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for being so great. And please enjoy 'Sun God and Moon princess".
