The rest of the way back to the hospital room,

I limped, groaned in agony, panted rapidly, and feel myself shaking

as I struggle to walk a mere foot away.

"Pathetic"

I think clustering the remaining energy that was left in me.

I open my white hospital door, only to be greeted by an angry Tenten tapping the cardiac machine as it showed a straight line going through it.

She sighs heavily with a hint of angst in her voice, and walks up to me, grabs my arm and slings it around her shoulder.

I feel totally helpless, it's really killing me to do this.

She lays me surprisingly gentle down on the hard bed, shaking her head left to right.

I give her a fake smile and nod as she chuckles slapping her forehead quite loudly.

"Ah, Hinata!"

She turns around bringing her arm back to her side.

"What am I going to do with you girl? You're going to be the cause of your own funeral."

My smile fades as I feel the blush uprising onto my face in embarassment.

"I-I'm really sorry Tenten-chan. I shouldn't have disobeyed you. Forgive me."

Despite my faults, she laughs quietly as it fades and turns to hurt.

"No Hinata, I know what you did for Naruto, and I'm sorry that Sakura-san can't be here to heal you more.. it's just-"

she stops clutching her fist tighter, and I can almost feel the despare coming off of her.

"A lot of villiagers were injured, I...I should have showed up earlier!"

In my best attempt to comfort her, I simply say,

"It couldn't be helped. We all tried our very best, and it's apperciated."

I bow my head down at her, letting my hair cover my eyes so I can secretly watch her expression.

She's putting her arms behind her head smiling widely.

"Yeah, I guess you're right Hinata!"

She notices my expression and goes back to the main topic.

"Neh, Hinata, why did you leave the room anyways? Naruto?"

She asks getting closer to me.

I raise my head quickly and look at her, as his name leaves her lips.

I'm clutching my bed sheets again, nodding.

"It's just-"

I was cut off by my own cough, covering my mouth quickly and the bloods still going through my fingers.

"Hinata!"

She shouts above the cough.

After a few second my lungs feel pretty calm and I feel her hand placed on my back.

"You love him eh?"

I nod my head and tell her only the truth with my voice still a bit shoken.

"More than life."

Her hand leaves my back and I see the shocked expression all over her face.

"Why?"

I answer before she say's anything.

"Because, even-even though, my love is unrequited.."

I feel my chest ache again, forcing an out of my character voice out saying.

"Because I'd do anything for him."
