Naruto ran, and ran, the street seemed to have no end, however he was determined to get Hinata medical attention, and fast. But it all seemed hopeless, he didn't even know if she was still breathing. But he continued running. Lights of houses were turning on, as some people were getting up to go to work. The lights zoomed out of the corner of his eye, at the endless running, he was exhausted, but he didn't want to risk killing her if she wasn't already. Finally, the Hospital came into sight. The lights were on, which mean't there had to be some sort of life form that could help. He stopped at the double doors, and pushed them open with the very little energy he had left to spare from his relentless running. The air from the hospital was warm, and smelt like plastic. The back of Naruto's Throat was burning, from the cold night air he was in-haling, but that was the least of his worries. He walked to the front desk to a young woman similar to Ayame's age, which was wide-eyed at Hinata's bleeding body, and with out any words needed she called intensive-care unit.
Two medical doctors in light turquoise jackets rushed in, and took Hinata from Naruto. He wasn't willing to hand her over, but knew that he had no choice in saying no. The two doctor's laid her on the stretcher, and wheeled her off. It all happened so fast to him. He felt as if he was over-protective for this "simple" friend, but her watched none-the-less, as they disappeared behind a corner. He stood for a good 6 minutes, before a nurse asked if he wanted to wait in a waiting room. He didn't like long waits, so he rudely asked if it would take long. She nodded yes, and Naruto sighed. "Great." But he decided to anyways, since he knew he couldn't possibly just go home and sleep.
So he was directed over to a waiting room where there was an old couple sitting together, and in the other corner was a younger couple, who was holding a bundle, that to Naruto's Knowledge must have been a baby they just had delivered. He leaned against the wall and slid down. He looked at the stack of magazines that were tossed around on the floor, perhaps by little kids. He hated reading, so he ignored them. Running the events of this morning through his head over 20 times, made him drowsy. His eyes flickered on and off, but her couldn't keep them open. Like sand weights were pulling on them. He didn't resist, he closed his eyes, and rested his head to the back wall and dozed off in a sleep that couldn't be labeled a "deep sleep" or a "regular sleep" it was rather light, and somewhat relaxing. He cultivated his thoughts, and swept them off.
A light tap of the shoulder was enough to awaken Naruto. He looked up at a nurse with tired eyes. She smiled at him. "Sir, would you like to visit your friend?" Naruto immediately woke up at the sound of that, and ran his eyes over to the clock that was on the wall above the help desk. It read 6:48 am. Which means he was asleep for a good hour and a half. He nodded eagerly, and stood up. His legs hurt from the running, but he shook it off.
The nurse bowed, and guided him to a stair case, to look at her clip board, flipping about one or two pages, before continuing up the stair case. Naruto followed obediently. But the stairs were harsh on his legs. However, they kept climbing. Until they reached the fourth floor. She turned to him. "I have something to attend to down stairs, your friend is room 409, please mind that she just got out of operation, so she might not be awake yet." She bowed once more and walked back down stairs.
Naruto watched as the nurse disappeared from sight, and turned his attention to the hallway. He wandered the hall as he read the numbers. "406, 407, 408, and 409." He read to himself, as he motioned to open the door, he heard some shuffling noises come from the other side of the door, and waited a bit. The shuffling stopped, and he twisted the knob to the door, and opened it slowly, poking his head in. There was an empty bed that was un-touched, and a white curtain that separated half the room. He walked passed the first bed, and entered the separate side. The bed was used, but nobody was in it, he was set to start panicking, when a shot of cold air hit his face, he directed his attention to where the cold air had been sent from. Typically it was a window. He with out thinking, ran up to the window and looked outside. At first sight there was nothing, but when completely crawling out, he found Hinata sitting to the left of the window, hugging her knee's to her chest. He smiled and crawled over, sitting next to her.
"Hey, what are you doing out here? It's like...below freezing." Hinata was un-aware of him even coming out, and shrieked, releasing the hold on her knee's and sprawled further from him. Naruto almost screamed at the sound of hers, but just laughed it off. Hinata grimaced, and turned a small shade of red. A long silence came up. Hinata's heart was racing, totally forgetting about the pain in her back. "Wh-What are you doing here N-naruto-kun?" She asked stuttering cause of the cold, and being around Naruto. "I've been waiting here for almost two hours to see if you were okay, but it seems I had nothing to worry about, you seem fine to me." He smiled at her and grabbed her arm and tugged. "But, you still shouldn't be out here with a hospital gown on." He coughed, and turned away cause of something he saw.
Hinata was clueless when he did so, but noticed that the stupid thing she was wearing, opened in the front. She quickly closed it, and turned a deeper shade of red, coughing a bit. Naruto, without turning back around started to speak. "Why don't we go inside now, it's Freaking cold out here." He said finally turning back around at her, and pulling her up as he stood. Naruto guided her safely to the window and pulled her inside where it was warmer. (duh)
Hinata kept one hand occupied, as it was the only way to keep the stupid thing she was wearing shut. She sat on her hospital bed, as did Naruto. Once again, they stayed silent, as they couldn't think of anything to talk about. But, Naruto did. "Hey, Hinata, who did that to you anyways? Was it Your cousin Neji?" Hinata cringed in displeasure to hear about any of her siblings. She didn't respond. Naruto tapped her shoulder and repeated the question. Hinata had no choice, keeping him at bay was the worst thing she could do. As simple as she could put it.
"It was My Father." She said short and to the point. Naruto was surprised at the answer. "Wait, you lost me at, the part where your father did it to you, are you sure it wasn't some psycho deranged lunatic?" Naruto asked trying to lighten the subject, but didn't work. Hinata didn't wan to answer, So Naruto decided to move to something else. "Well, can I see it?" He asked hoping he didn't offend her. Hinata looked away. "Y-you want to see it?" She asked hoping that's not what he asked, but he said yes, so she turned red. "Uh...well, o-okay." She managed to get out, and tugged on her blanket a bit. Naruto fixated his position on the bed as did Hinata, so Naruto was looking at the back of her hospital cloth.
Naruto moved his hands to her shoulders, where there were buttons snapped together. He undid the left shoulder asked Hinata if she was sure she wanted to let him look at it, but she verified that she didn't mind him doing so, and continued with the right shoulder, as soon as the last button was undone, he pulled on the cloth and removed it, revealing her entire back. He sort of backed up a bit at the sight of a huge gash to the right of her spine, with stitches weakly holding it together, and some bandages over it, with some red swelling around the huge cut. Naruto was en-grossed into it and ran his finger along the middle of it. Hinata gasped and complained that it hurt when he touched it, which Naruto pulled his hand away from it.
"That's pretty bad Hinata, if you know who did this, it might be wise to report it to an adult." Naruto said while buttoning the shoulder pieces back up. Hinata didn't respond. Naruto again, just decided that he should leave the subject alone, and switched to something else. "So...do you want me to leave you alone for now Hinata?" He Yawned and stretched as he climbed off of the bed. "Uh, yeah, you can go ahead and go home now, if you want to that is." She was some what proud of her self for not stuttering this time and turned back to Naruto. He nodded. "Okay, I'll be back at 10:00, it's Saturday so I don't have training today. Is there anything you need from your house that I can get?" Hinata quickly said "No" Which gave Naruto a rising suspicion, but shook it off and smiled. "You sure are simple huh Hinata?" His words shocked Hinata a bit, but she weakly smiled back. "Yeah, I am." Naruto blinked. "Hinata, I didn't mean that in a way to offend you or anything." He said in a defending tone, which made Hinata feel better. "Okay, Naruto-kun, you should get going now." She smiled again and sat further into her bed, but was pulled to the side again in an embrace from Naruto. She turned a deep shade of red and stayed still as he held her for what seemed to be forever until he pulled away. "Get well soon Hinata." He said as he left the room, practically melting where his body had met hers. She laid back into her bed and drifted to sleep.
