Naruto and Hinata

Chapter 2

I slowly walked into the large gates of Kohona. I didn't stop walking, and my pace quickened as I felt Hinata's heartbeat slow.

I went to the hospital opening the door slowly with my back.

"Naruto!" I nurse yelled, as my knees buckled under me, and I fell to my knees.

I was about to fall, but I remembered Hinata in my arms. They started to shake, and my broken arm was painfully holding its grasp. My back was hit with a large pain, making my breathing even more heavily than it already was.

"Get Tsunade!" the nurse yelled again.

"N-Naruto, Hinata!" A familiar pink-haird nurse Sakura yelled as she saw Hinata, and I.

She ran over to me, cupped my face in her hands, and looked into my sleepless eyes.

"I need two beds over here!" Sakura yelled as still cupping my face in her hands. She saw my back, and her eyes widened.

"S-Sakura," I mumbled.

"Yes," She asked impatiently.

"H-Hi, H-Hinata's back," I said.

Sakura took Hinata out of my arms and I colapsed on the floor.

"Naruto!" Sakura yelled.

"Nn."

Sakura looked at Hinata's back and looked sadly at it.

"Where are my fricking beds?" Sakura yelled, as two nurses ran threw the halls towards us. Tsunade came running from the other way and looked at Hinata and I.

"Sakura!" Tsunade yelled, "What on earth happened to those two?"

Sakura stood up and set Hinata down on one of the beds, making he lie on her stomach.

Tsunda ran over to me and carfully picked me up, and lied me on the open bed.

I saw Hinata's blood-stained coat, and something peirced me in the heart. It started to beat rapidly, and my breathing quickened. I closed me eyes for an instant, and ended up falling asleep.

I woke up slowly to find myself in a hospital room. I blinked a couple of times, and then I remembered what happened. I felt something heavy attached to my arm. I looked down and found a cast. I remembered I had broken it…somehow. I knew I fought, but I didn't remember how I did it or the people I was fighting. What I did remember was that Hinata…She had…kissed me…and then she confessed…she fainted…I got angry…then…then… I couldn't remember.

I sat up a little then I felt a huge pain in my back, and I laid back down. I put my hand on my head, and then I heard someone walk in, then drop something, then run out.

By the time I had pulled my hand away from my head Sakura ran into the room.

"Naruto," She yelled as she ran up to my bed and hugged me.

"What?" I asked as a pain hut my back, "Hey Sakura lighten up on the hug will you."

"Sorry," She said as she released smiling happily, as tears shed down her face.

"What?" I demanded.

"You're finally awake." Sakura said whipping away her tears.

"H-How long was I asleep for?"

"This is the second week." The pink-haired girl stated.

"A week!" I shouted, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Naruto you idiot," Sakura screamed as a thought came into my mind, Hinata.

"What about Hinata?" I asked cautiously.

"Hinata," Sakura asked…"She hasn't woken up yet."

I immediately started to get up again and as I started to get out of the bed Sakura said, "Naruto, you need to rest."

I felt a large pain in my knees and I fell to the floor. My knee's burned, and I tried to get back up again. Sakura ran over to me and helped me up. I saw the bandages on my knees, and remembered why I was so mad. It all came rushing into my head. I felt dizzy and before I passed out I heard Sakura yell, "Naruto!"

~Hinata~

I woke up to find myself in hospital bed. Bright lights flew into the small room from the large window. I stared at the familiar town known as Kohona, or the leaf village. I remembered what happened but I had no idea how I got back here, to this village. I thought of Naruto and wondered if he was alright…probably was knowing him. I was still worried though.

I sighed as a pink-haired nurse walked into the room. Her eyes were closed, and I saw her whip away a tear.

"Sakura, what's wrong?" I asked her.

She immediately opened her eyes and looked over to me.

"Hinata," She yelled rushing over to me, and embracing tightly.

"Ah, not so tight please Sakura." I said as my back aced with pain.

She immediately released her hold and said, "I'm so happy your ok."

I just smiled at her comment, because I wish I had died because then I wouldn't have to face Naruto later.

"How's Naruto?" I asked.

"He's, well…"

I waited for her response.

"He's stable but," Sakura said.

"But," I asked concerned.

"He was in a coma and he just woke up a little while ago, and then when I told him that you had not woken up yet, he jumped out of bed. He fell down because of his knees then he…" She paused, "He fell back into his coma again."

I couldn't believe what I had just heard so I asked, "What?"

"He went back into his coma."

I felt tears dripping onto my cheeks.

"Hey now, Hinata," Sakura sobbed, "Don't go back there like Naruto did."

My tears ran down my face rapidly as I tried to whip them away they kept coming.

"He'll be alright though?" I asked the sobbing girl.

"I don't really know, he seemed fine until he got up…" Sakura sobbed.

My tears started to slow a little and I reached up to Sakura, and embraced her in a hug. I nurse walked in and yelled, "Sakura!"

Sakura released and looked at the surprised nurse.

"Hinata Hyuga is awake." Sakura said whipping away here tears and putting on her working face, "You may tell Tsunde."

The nurse bowed and walked away quickly.

"Sakura! Sakura!" someone yelled.

"Sorry Hinata, I'll be back." Sakura said running out the door.

My tears subsided, and I watched the clouds pass over the town calmly. I wondered what being a cloud would be like. Closing my eyes I could fell the light breeze pass over me as I walked in the blue sky, and the freedom of flight overtake me.

~Naruto~

I woke this time to a large crashing sound. My eyes fluttered open as I saw glass all around the floor of the room.

Sakura ran into the room. She saw my wide-eyed expression, and looked at the glass all around the room. Then I saw her looking at the floor and running over to the window behind me.

"Hey kids go play some else!"

Sakura picked up a baseball from the floor and threw it back to a small child. Konohamaru caught the ball and saw that I was up.

He ran quickly over to the window and yelled, "Naruto! You're up!"

"Konohamaru and his friends have been playing here while you were in bed." Sakura said, "Please tell them to not play here anymore."

"Konohamaru!" I yelled, "Don't play around the hospital you could kill someone!"

Sakura looked me over then saw that a large piece of glass had cut my arm, and almost hit my leg.

"Konohamaru!" Sakura yelled jumping out the window.

Konohamaru saw her comeing and turned around quickly and ran in the other direstion quickly. Sakura stopped running after him and quickly ran back into my room jumping in threw the window to get in.

"Naruto, no mater what I tell you don't go to sleep again ok?" Sakura asked staring at her shoes.

"Alright." I said, stretching, and then I yawned. '

"Naruto…" Sakura said still staring at her shoes, "Sasuke has returned."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I started to get up but Sakura yelled, "No!"

She ran over to me and pushed me back down, then said, "Last time you got up to fainted."

I stared at her unhappily and said, "I'm going to have to get up sometime. Plus I feel fine now. My knees feel healed, and you of all people know how fast I heal…It just took a little bit longer this time for some reason…By the way how long was I out this time?"

"About a week," Sakura stated.

I sighed.

"…When did Sasuke come back?" I asked.

"The day you came back from your mission." Sakura said quietly.

"Sasuke, he couldn't believe that you were hurt." Sakura laughed sadly, "When he saw you he looked…hurt."

I looked down to my arm in silence.

"He put that flower there." Sakura said pointing to the window sill were a white flower bloomed. "He brings a new one in once a week."

"How's Hinata?" I asked ignoring her statement.

"She's awake." Sakura said, "Her wound on her back is healing nicely, but she'll always have a scare."

Suddenly, I felt a tear drip down my face. I brought my uninjured hand up to my face to examine the tear that had fallen. Hinata would always have that scare…I couldn't protect her...heck I could hardly protect myself.

Another tear ran down my face. I looked up at Sakura.

She was surprised at my falling tears, but then she started to cry with a small smile imbedded on her face.

Sasuke was back, but Hinata would have that scare forever.
