Naruto walked inside Hinata's room and stood by her side. He gripped her hand gently and looked into her eyes.
"Hinata, its time now. There going to put you to sleep so that they can ensure stillness when they transfer the blood to you. Before you go I want you to know I'll be here waiting, and when you get well, we will start dating like I said we would."
"That's…what I wanted…my…Naruto-kun."
Hinata smiled weakly as she closed her eyes. The doctors came inside and began to move her bed to the transfusion room.
"Don't do that Hinata! Don't you go giving up, not now!"
She closed her eyes and a joyful smile ran across her face. Naruto yelled at the top of his lungs as he ran down the hallway with the doctors. At the two way doors to the room, two ANBU ninja told him he wasn't allowed in.
"Are you going to keep me from the woman I love! Move aside now!"
"You know we can't do that. The doctors need concentration to work Naruto."
Naruto fell down and grasps the knees of one of them, crying and making promises to them.
"Please, just let me in please."
"We can't Naruto, I'm sorry. I feel your pain, you're not the first one that's attempted to get through here to see someone. Just wait over there."
"I'll give you anything, just don't separate me from her," he said weakly. They calmly lifted him to his feet, and helped him to a binch. The next few hours went by like an eternity. His mind was focus only on Hinata. He sensed someone coming. It was Kiba. He sat down next to him. Naruto didn't look at him as he sat down.
"How is she?" he asked weakly."
"She'll be fine."
"Don't lie to me Naruto! Not now! How is she!?" he said with menace in his voice.
"I don't know Kiba! She lost a serious amount of blood! I don't know if she'll live!"
Naruto wiped his face as he continued.
"If she dies Kiba, you'll never see me again. You were right all those times, I am dumb, stupid. I couldn't even see how much she loved me until it was too late. If she dies, I will kill myself."
Kiba gasped at the words. He regained his sense and answered.
"And what will that solve Naruto, huh?! You think she'll want you to commit such an act on her death!? No, she'll want you to live!" he said grabbing him. After he finished, he slowly let go of him. "She didn't want me to say anything to you, but she took some seducing lessons."
"Seducing lessons?"
"Yeah, she didn't know what else to do to get your attention. She blushes when she see you, fixes you things, talks about you to other women. Holds your hand. All of those things you missed, so she took seducing lessons. She was going to seduce you into bed today, but the war stopped all that."
"Why seduction?"
"She thought if you two went to bed together, one of you might confess to the other."
Naruto hung his head in shame. He sat up and began walking.
"Where are you going?"
"To do some thinking, and hoping."
"I'm no expert Naruto, but before you go, understand what good things you have. Hinata loves you Naruto."
