LAST TIME:

She turned around, sadly smiled and said, "Okay…then I wish I could be stronger, so I wouldn't run away anymore." With that she ran away from him, towards her home, she took one look back and there was no one there. She walked into her house and took off her shoes. She went upstairs and went into her room. Where she took of her coat and leaned against her door, sobbing. She was crying because she could not be strong enough to say what she wanted. She could never be strong enough. She took out a kuni and stared at herself in the reflection in it. She shook as she placed the knife to her skin. She looked again into the mirror and stopped herself. She started sobbing, why couldn't she be stronger? WHY? She sank to the floor dropping the kunai and fell asleep crying.

I forgot to mention this but is the (--) Kybuki and (-)is Naru fighting with him. GOMEN NASAI!


She went downstairs and sat down at the table today. She pored herself some tea and looking at both her father and sister who where talking. "So Hinata you are sitting with us today…this is a change." Her father said slowly sipping his tea. "Oh I just wanted to sit with my family, and things change," she said smiling. Her father nodded slightly and sipped his tea again.

She actually sat and talked about her job to her father, and made an effort to talk to her sister. Finally it was time for her to go she gave both her father and sister a quick hug and started headed towards the door. Neji came in and she smiled at him. "Morning Neji-kun!" She chimed. Neji stared at her as if she came off some other planet. "….Good day Hinata, you are very…happy today, something happen?" He asked patting her shoulder.

"Nope, just saying good morning as I always do!" She said patting his arm. She opened the door and headed out. Neji looked to Hinabi and his uncle for answers. Hinabi shrugged and his uncle said not a word. Something was up with his cousin.

Hinata took a different route this time to the clinic. She picked flowers for her patients. She got into the building with a big bouquet. Everyone stared, 'How un-like this quiet woman!' They all thought. She gave all her patients flowers, and talked to them very cheerfully. As soon as she put on her coat several trainees asked her to do their jobs for them…she told them where they could stick it figuratively. They where so shocked at the sudden change in this woman. It was like..something had made her snap, or someone.

Tsunade took notice of this and as the day passed she kept noticing things that where…out of place even for her, as soon as she could she took Hinata aside, "Hinata your acting, unusual today anything you want to talk about?" She asked concerned holding Hinata comfortingly on the shoulders.

"Oh its nothing Hokage-Sama. I just thought it was time for change," Hinata said giving her a reassuring smile. She trying to not get into the old habit of stuttering when shy. "Okay then…" Tsunade said letting go of the girls shoulders. Hinata walked off. Something was up with this shy girl…maybe she did want to change…but NO one changes overnight. She was proud that the girl was standing up for herself…but this was just too sudden…she sighed and shuffled her papers getting back to her own work left to her own thoughts. As Hinata adjusted a bed sheet on her patients bed she thought, 'What is wrong with everyone today?' She smiled to herself as she walked threw the hall. Oh well! It really wasn't her problem!

Hinata went threw her day and soon it was over. She when she got out she pulled her hair out of the bun she always did at work and let it come down to her waist. She stared at the mountains of past and current Hokage, and smiled proudly. She started to go home…then she choose a DIFFERENT path home this time. Little did she know, but she should have stayed to her REGULAR path.

(Chidori AN: Hey if she took her REGULAR path it wouldn't be progress riiight? Tsunade AN: No it wouldn't but you have to read on and see maybe WHY she should have.)

Hinata was soon very lost. This part of town was unfamiliar to her. She traveled down it so very seldom that she didn't know her way around. She hopped onto the rooftops to maybe see if she could find her house. Again little did she know but Naruto was on the same route as her.

(Chidori AN: He wasn't a stalker he just 'HAPPEN' to be down the same route Hinata 'HAPPEN' to be lost on….what? It can happen.)

He noticed a raven haired koichi at the top of the rooftops. She was staring into the sunset, her hair whipped with the wind, it looked so silky and soft and the sun hit it in certain areas making it look like there where stars in the sky. Her milky white skin flawless…even from hear she looked beautiful…no, no he liked Sakura, SAKURA. He shook himself and keep walking. Stopped and looked back and up again. She didn't have a jacket so he could see the curves of her body and she and had very nice and soft…no, no, no! He knocked himself in the head, 'Sakura, Sakura!' He kept repeating to himself.

--Kid give it up, both you and I know that Sakura has no boobs, but this gal oooh, she has some KNOCKERS. His Kabuki snickered as Naruto fought on a blush.

-Shut up you! I like Sakura and that is final!

--Right keep telling yourself that.

(Chidori AN: Ha-ha the Kabuki sounds like us. Tsunade AN: Maybe YOU but not ME.)
