Hinata's POV

There he is...

There, sitting in the corner is the boy i've always watched, i've always admired and looked up to, and... the boy that i've always loved. Naruto. The boy that never stopped believing and who always wore a cheerful and encouraging expression on his face.

But not now, now, Naruto, was crying. It was because we recieved news that his master Jiraiya -one of the three sannins- just died. He must really be devastated.

And as i stand here, hiding cowardly behind a building, I feel regret. Regret that I don't just go there and comfort him, that to why i don't just get out of my hiding for once and help the boy i love. And maybe then, he'll see me as something more than just a friend.

I frowned slightly when his tears started to pour out like rain. I felt the sudden urge to go there and hug him, to tell him that i'm there for him. Yet, what am I doing ? I'm just standing here cowering behind a building while the most important person in my life is crying. I hate to see him cry.

Naruto... I may not know what it feels to lose your master. But it's though I can feel his grief, and it hurts, it really, really hurts. Again, i ask myself why i don't just go there and talk to him, at least return the hope that he has given to all of us. Maybe, it's just that i'm afraid of rejection. I don't think that i'll be able to handle it if he dosen't accept me... maybe it's best if i stay away. I'm contented just watching him.

'No, no, no !' I mentally scolded myself. I can't just stare at him forever. Someday he'll be gone, and it'll be too late. I'll regret it for life. Now i have a chance.

I gulped and started to get out from behind the building when, I saw Sir Iruka walking towards Naruto. Slowly, I backed away. I could hear him greeting Naruto. Then i ran.

I don't know where i was going, I just ran. It was foolish of me to ever think that i could be Naruto's light, even just once. I really wanted to get out of my shell and be the one to bring back the smile on his face. And yet, because of my shyness and incompetence, I let someone else steal my chance.

'Baka !' Tears were already streaming down my face. He'll never aknowledge me, never really look at me, never love me. Never.

Sakura's POV

Kakashi-sensei, Naruto and... Sasuke.

I've missed them all. Sure, Naruto was here and Kakashi-sensei never left the village. But still, i preferred it better when we didn't have any troubles except for the exams we have to take and the ninja missions.

I sighed and picked up the picture of us that was taken before. A picture consisting of me, Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi-sensei. A picture taken years before all of this.

We were... happier back then, than we are now. Not exactly happy, but, life was simpler then. Back then, Orochimaru was our only problem and it seemed like we could have handled it at first, then we met reality. Sasuke left to persue Orochimaru in quest for power. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Then he fought Naruto and he's been in a terrible state. He cheered up anyway, that's Naruto.

Naruto left with Jiraiya-sensei not soon afterwards. We all got separated by cruel fate. I still had Kakashi-sensei to talk to. Still, it was lonely. I've trained, in hopes that, i wouldn't be a burden to them anymore. And in hopes that for once, it would be my turn to protect them. To get us all back together.

When Naruto came back, I felt so happy, not that i'd tell him that. And yet, somehow, i felt a bit disappointed. It wasn't like i was expecting him to come back with Sasuke, and that in some wild way of his, he'd gotten Sasuke back. Nope, i didn't expect that.

In time, hope that Sasuke would be back has started to fade little by little. Until there is so little now, i feel empty. After that, Kakashi-sensei wasn't part of our group anymore. Another loss.

Sometimes, i feel like the people i'm closest to are drifting further and further away from me. That's reality. I hate reaility. I prefer fantasy when we all end with a 'happily ever after'. But then, we don't really have a choice, now, do we ?

I shook my head and set the picture on top of the shelf by the window. It was dark outside and i could barely see anything. Warily, i stuck my head outside the window and looked at the street bellow. I didn't expect to find someone, but i did. It was a shadow figure. The figure was dark, and i couldn't see his or her face.

I squinted my eyes and tried to focus on the figure. Who could be out at this time of the night ? I stuck my head out a bit further. I finally saw who it was, it's Hinata ! Without thinking, i shouted, "Hinata !"

She then turned around and i waved happily at her. At first she didn't move, then she ran. I blinked, "Hinata, wait !" I jumped off from the window, and landed safely on the ground. Did i forget to mention i was on the 3rd floor, i'm a ninja anyway. That wasn't a problem. I wonder what was wrong with her ?

She was fast, but i was still able to catch up to her. And then, let's just say, this isn't exactly the best night of my life. It satarted to rain. Fortunately -or unfotunately, depending on how you see it-, she slipped and fell down. I was able to catch up to her while she was trying to get up.

"Hinata, are you alright ?" I grabbed her arm and pulled her up, she was facing away from me. We were dripping wet now, and if we don't get out of the rain we'll catch a cold.

"Hinata, let's go to my place. We have to get out of the rain." I told her. She just nodded. From my point of view, it looked as if she were crying, even her voice sounded a little off. But then, it could just be my imagination.

We hurridly made our way back to the building and ran up to my room. "Here, use this, Hinata." I handed her one of my extra towels while using one to dry myself also. We were in the bathroom, to avoid getting my floorboards wet.

"T-thank you, S-sakura-chan." She accepted the towel. "I-i'm sorry if i-i'm causing y-you any t-trouble--"

I cut her off "It's alright, Hinata. I have some extra clothes here, you have to wear comething dry or you'll get sick." I warned her. Then smiled, she returned it and i noticed that her eyes were puffy and that she looked pale. I wonder if she really had been crying...

"Aha !" I beamed when i found my white T-shirt and Red shorts in my drawer. I walked over to Hinata, who, by now, was already done drying herself. "They're kinda big, but i think they'll fit you. They're the ones i have left, the others are still on dry-cleaning." I said apologetically.

She just shook her head and took the clothes from me. She gave me a grateful smile "T-thank you, S-sakura-chan. I-i b-behave next t-time." I smiled at her and left the room.

Hinata's POV

'Sakura-chan is so kind.' I thought and started to slip of my clothes. After getting them all out, i grabbed the clothes Sakura lent me and slipped them on.

When that was done, i checked myself infront of the mirror and noticed how my eyes were puffy and red, my face held a few scratches -although i suspect it's from tripping on the street earlier-. I also took of the eye bugs i suddenly had.

I turned on the faucet and washed my hands. Suddenly, i felt my head throb and my visions go blurry. I panicked and splashed my head with water from my hands. I did this about 3 times, while feeling a little lightheaded...

I stared at myself in the mirror again and felt the pain taking over. I blinked a lot of times and took hold of the sink for support. "Ugh......." I felt a sharp pang of pain, before seeing myself fall slowly down.

Thud~

Before i completely fall out of conciousness, i heard Sakura's voice.

"Hinata ? Hinata, is something wrong in there !? Open the door ! Hinata !"

Then my eyes closed.
