Okay…the last chapter was possibly bad…

Okay, I know it was bad.

Cuz somebody got mad at me…-tears- excuse me while I get over my depression.

(Gets over depression)

Anyway…thank you to PersianLady (Who apparently loves this story), Void Walker (Sort of, except for the fact that he/she practically flamed me, (or did) and sent me catapulting into depression for a whole five seconds. JP, it's okay, I realize that possibly was stupid...), niwichan2468 (interesting name), vnvanman (let's kill Sasuke together!), AKITO. At the Disco, (what can I say? Thanks for reviewing, every chapter!) Shukoru, (The fantastic chick who keeps reviewing!) and rhapsodicoutburst (whom I also thank for adding to fav stories!)

Wow…

This is now officially the longest chapter yet! Yay!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, nor do I particularly want to…Except, I would like to own Gaara. XD

Naruto's P. o. V.

What is wrong with Teme? He shouldn't be pushing Hinata around like that—like he owns her or something. And the baka thinks he really does. GAAAAAA he makes me sooooooooooooooooooooooooo mad! I wish I could ninja him! And for that matter, how can Hinata let him push her around like that? He doesn't own her! And she thinks she loves him?

Wait…does she?

Okay, for some reason, I don't want that to be true.

-poof- -sign appears in front of Naruto-

That's cuz you like her. It said.

Oh. That would explain it.

In that case—I REALLY can't let Sasuke push her around! I have to go rescue her!

So, I ran back to Ichiraku, hoping that Hinata would still be there.

She wasn't.

To the Hyuuga Compound!

I ran all the way across town, to Hinata's house. When I got there, the guards stopped me.

"Who are you?"

"I'm a friend of Hinata's—please let me in."

"Hinata-sama said she did not want to see anyone right now."

"Tell her it's Naruto! I know she'll want to see me. PLEASE! I'm begging you!"

"All right, I suppose we can go see if she wants to see you."

"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" I screamed. Not bothering to wait for them to ask Hinata, I charged in after them. They sighed, but nevertheless, led me to Hinata's room.

"Hinata-sama. There's someone here to see you—"

"I told you! I do not wish to see anyone."

"See? I told you."

"Hinata-chan! It's me! Naruto!"

"…Naruto-kun? Oh…I guess you can come in."

I burst into the room. Hinata was lying on the bed, her face puffy and red. "Hi, Naruto-kun," she said softly.

"Hinata-chan. Why do you let him do that to you?"

"I…I…-sobs-"

Gently, I gave her a hug, and she sobbed into my chest.

"Naruto-kun…please…help me. I'm…afraid."

I tightened my arms around her. "Shhhhh…" She looked up at me, and I couldn't help but stare at her. Even in tears she was beautiful.

How did I miss that?

Her face was tantalizingly close, and I was tempted to kiss her.

But I couldn't. Even if Sasuke was a stupid baka, I couldn't make Hinata cheat on him.

I'm better than that…

The door burst open, and Sasuke stood there.

I glared at him.

"Hinata…I leave you for a little bit…and already you have someone new?"

She whimpered, and seemed to grow even smaller in my arms.

"And you, Naruto. I thought you were a better person than that."

I mentally slapped myself. Duh! It would still appear as though she were cheating on him, whether I kissed her or not.

I released her and turned around. "Teme. Why are you doing this to her?"

"Because she is mine…and she doesn't think so. She disobeys me—so I punish her."

"YOU AREN'T HER DAD!" I screamed at him.

"NEITHER ARE YOU!"

"WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?"

"I HAVE NO IDEA!"

Meanwhile

Hanabi's P. o. V.

"Neji!" I called.

"Hai, Hanabi-sama?" Neji dutifully replied from his wannabe emo corner.

"It is Hinata! I think something is going on in her room. We have to go help her!"

"Hn. Are you sure?" Neji asked doubtfully.

"Yes! Come on!"

"-sigh- Hai, Hanabi-sama."

Hinata's P. o. V.

Dimly I was aware of Naruto and Sasuke fighting.

Do I?

"You can't do that to Hinata!"

Do I really?

"WHY NOT?"

Do I really feel that way…about him? About Sasuke?

"BECAUSE SHE ISN'T YOURS TO DO IT TO!"

Or do I truly love…Naruto-kun? Sasuke made me think I didn't…but maybe that was just my jealousy of Sakura…

Listening to Naruto defend me, and hearing Sasuke make his claim over me, I wondered who really had my best interests at heart.

Dully, I realized that Hanabi and Neji had joined the argument.

Next, my father showed up and started shouting, telling everyone to get out.

I closed my eyes, wishing they would all go away.

And then, it was all quiet. I opened my eyes, and noticed that everyone was staring at me.

"Wha-sniff-t?" I asked.

"-blink, blink-"

"What?" I asked again.

"SEE! SASUKE-TEMEHASBEATENHERSENSELESS! ARGH!"

"What?" my father asked. "I did not quite catch that."

"I SAID—"

Sasuke clamped a hand over his mouth. "We'll be leaving now." and he dragged Naruto out the door.

My father left next, without so much as a concerned glance.

Neji and Hanabi remained.

"Hinata—is someone hurting you? Why were Uzumaki and Uchiha fighting?" Hanabi asked.

I didn't answer.

"Hinata! Answer us please. I don't want you to get hurt! You're my sister! If Uchiha is hurting you, you need to get away from that emo!"

"Hn," Neji hned in agreement.

"Thanks guys…but I'd really like to sort this out myself," I said softly.

"Okay…"

"Hn."

They left the room.

And I fell asleep.

So, if the last chapter upset you, I hope you liked this one better.

Please review! I guess I still accept flames—just know I might be depressed…and not write…Okay, just kidding. I'll write whether I'm depressed or not.

Anyway.

Me's out!
