*CHAPTER TWO*
(Hinata's POV)
FAILURE…. FAILURE… FAILURE… Hinata… I'm in love with Sakura-chan… H-Hinata..! Wait!
(She wakes up in a dark place with a dim light)
W-Where… am I? Am I dead..? Hinata thought groggily, sitting up slowly. She looked at herself and saw she was in an oversized navy blue t-shirt and her wrist was wrapped up. Her hair was still a bit dirty but all the knots were gone and it seemed as if someone had taken the time to brush the muddy mess.
Am I at the hospital..? She asked herself confusedly. No. Hinata decided almost immediately, I'm on a couch… But where? "I-Is anybody there..?" She called out weakly, wincing in pain as she moved her bad wrist to her lap. "H-Hello?" Hinata called out a second time.
"So you're finally awake. You slept soundly almost all night. But you chose to wake at 5:00am the next day. Great choice…" A voice edged with sarcasm said from the shadows where she couldn't see clearly. All she saw was a dark silhouette that gave nothing away. "Why did you do what you did? Back there in the forest I mean."
Still shaken she was taken aback by the question. Well, that person just saved you from bleeding to death since you tried to commit suicide. And you expect that to go unquestioned? Hinata told herself. "Oh… It was nothing… Nothing important…" She replied eventually.
"Oh yeah so you tried to commit suicide for no apparent reason?" The mysterious person scoffed, this time she was sure it was a man, with her head and thoughts cleared up more but Hinata still couldn't put her finger on exactly who it was. "If I believe that I'd believe anything." The voice continued.
"W-Who are you?" Hinata stuttered, still nervous of whoever this mysterious man could be.
"Hey, my question wasn't answered yet." The still unidentified person protested indignantly. Hinata sighed, "F-Fine. If you must know, Naruto Uzumaki… Told me he was breaking up with me to be with Sakura and that he just loved me as a sister. Why would he g-go out with me then..?! Why give m-me false hopes then… just snatch them away?!" Hinata answered, and the tears began flowing once again.
"…What a moron…" The mystery person muttered in disgust. Then he stepped out of the shadows, revealing his identity. Hinata looked up and froze in shock. The person was…
(Naruto POV)
He lay next to his beloved Sakura-chan in bed. Naruto's bad dream had woken him up. In his dream Hinata cried and cried for hours, making his heart wrench in guilt. She sat there, then somebody came and comforted her. Then it seemed weeks passed within minutes, each day she got happier, and forgot more about him. In one week she was happy and smiling again, just as she used to. But was coldly polite to both him and Sakura.
Naruto just lied there thinking, could it have ended any other way? Coul I have eased her pain? Then he shook his head, no use tearing yourself apart about a girl you'd always thought was too shy and too hesitant in the first place. Too fragile.
Turning over he looked at Sakura, still sleeping soundly curled against his chest. Smiling he stroked her soft pink hair. It was worth it, Naruto declared to himself. I love her so much, she's my perfect little Sakura-chan.
Suddenly Sakura stirred and blinked up sleepily at him, smiling. "Good morning, Naruto-kun." She murmured. Naruto leaned toward her and kissed her forehead. "Good morning, beautiful." He replied embracing her tightly against him. "Sleep well?" Sakura giggled, "After tonight, I got a perfect good night's sleep." Naruto blushed, and Sakura got up to put on an oversized t-shirt and went to cook breakfast.
Leaving just Naruto and his thoughts.
(Hinata POV)
The person was… Sasuke? "S-Sasuke-sa-, I mean Sasuke?" Hinata corrected herself. "YOU saved me? But why?" Yesterday's events came crashing down on her in a wave of confusion. So instead of asking any further questions she pulled her knees to her chest and began crying again. Her wrist stung like hell but she didn't care.
Sasuke came and sat down next to her, slowly and awkwardly putting his arm around her shoulder and muttering something like, "Uh, it's okay… Naruto is such a dobe, I don't know what you saw in him anyway." After a few moments Hinata put her legs down and snuggled close to his chest, still crying. Glancing up at Sasuke through her tear filled eyes she said softly, "Thanks, Sasuke-kun." Wait, kun? Where'd that come from. Hinata could've sworn she saw Sasuke blush which almost made her giggle.
"Should I uh walk you home or what?" Sasuke asked after a few moments. "Will your dad be wondering where you are?"
Hinata shook her head bitterly. "Probably not, and even if he did he still wouldn't care." She sat up, pulling herself from Sasuke's arm, but felt strangely disappointed afterwards. "Yeah, I should be going though, I have caused you enough trouble."
"No, don't say that. It's fine. I'll walk you home." Sasuke said standing up and offering her a hand. Hinata took it, blushing lightly and stood up. Since she hasn't stood up in a while she stumbled but Sasuke caught her and this caused Hinata's dace to bury in his chest for a moment yet again.
Regaining her composure, Hinata nodded her thanks and said, "Let's go."
*Arriving at the Hyuga Mansion.*
"Thanks so much for walking me home Sasuke." Hinata said gratefully, bowing her head slightly. "I am sorry for all the trou-" Before she could finish her sentence Sasuke put one finger to her lips and said, "There was no trouble. Just do me one favour.."
Tilting her head to one side questioningly, "Yeah sure, what can I do for you?" "Never do that again." Sasuke said curtly, nodding at her wrist, touching her cheek, then teleporting away. "Talk to you later, Sasuke…" HInata whispered, blushing before turning around to walk to her unwelcoming home, thinking about everything that happened yesterday and this morning. This morning was much better… Hinata admitted to herself. Sasuke's cold but somehow luring onyx eyes stayed in Hinata's mind throughout the day.
