Chapter 4
I am so sorry I took so long on the updating of this fanfic! SOOO sorry!
But I have been incredibly busy and I haven't had much ideas or inspiration lately, so don't be surprised if this chapter SUCKS!
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
'And thus another crime solved by the one and only… Sherlock Holmes.' – Hinata read to herself as she sat on her bed.
Suddenly Tenten swung the door open and yelled.
"They're coming Hinata! THEY'RE COMING!" – Tenten yelled, tears streaming down her cheeks as panic flooded the young girl's mind.
Tenten ran over to Hinata and jumped on her bed hugging Hinata as tightly as she could as she began to sob loudly.
The nurses and a couple of doctors immediately began rushing inside the room and injected her with anesthesia, putting her to sleep.
Temari later explained to Hinata, that Tenten was looking out her window and saw a satellite which she obviously confused with a space ship and started panicking destroying anything that crossed her path until she found her way inside Hinata's room.
Hinata looked out the window and realized that it was already night time. She hadn't even noticed.
"What is going on in here?" – Naruto yelled as he walked in, Sasuke following him closely behind.
"Relax." – Temari said with a soothing as she stepped in front of him. – "Tenten had a minor meltdown, but all is being taken care of."
"Destroying the hallway and her bedroom does NOT seem like a 'minor meltdown', Temari-san!" – Sakura yelled furiously as she walked in.
"Ah! Gomen, Sakura-san…" – Temari bowed politely. Even though she hadn't done anything wrong, Sakura would always be the secretary everyone should fear. Jiraya had blind trust in Tsunade's old student, and that gave Sakura almost total power. If Naruto were to contradict her Jiraya would most the time, change his mind, but Naruto rarely did so.
Tenten was quickly carried out of Hinata's room.
Hinata only looked at her for a moment and then looked out her window at the nocturnal sky.
"The moon… The stars… They are so free…" – She mumbled to herself, not caring if anybody listened or not.
The people started to exit the bedroom ignoring the Hyuuga. All but one man who couldn't help but gaze at her and think to himself…
'How could such an innocent looking girl… Do such horrible things? She obviously lost her mind… There is a reason why she is here anyways… but maybe, just maybe, if I could figure out what makes her do such things I could help her. Then she would be cured! And then..! Then..! … Am I going crazy as well or is it really just me!'
"Is there something you want?" – Hinata's voice echoed through the room waking Sasuke from his trance.
They stared at each other for a moment. A moment that seemed to take a thousand years to pass by.
"O-Oh… Erm… No." – Sasuke muttered and then headed for the door, but turned around right before even turning the nob. – "Actually…"
"Hm?"
"I want to… I have an idea." – He said a little hesitant.
"For what?"
"Cure you. I know I can."
Hinata stared at him surprised, while Sasuke was able to recompose himself and regain his cold expression, only this time… his eyes were warm and lovingly.
"You are crazy." – Hinata mumbled dropping her gaze to the ground. – "I have tried that already and I failed."
"Yes maybe you did. But not hard enough." – Sasuke replied as he stepped closer to her bed.- "Calm me crazy all you want… but if there is one thing that baka has taught me is to never give up no matter what and stick to the path you chose."
Apparently what he said worked, since he was able to make Hinata slowly look up from the ground and connect her eyes with his once again.
"What makes you so sure?" – She asked hesitant. She did not believe it herself.
'Does he really want to help me? Or am I just hallucinating?' was what she kept asking herself.
"I'm always sure." – He replied confidently. –"That's what makes me a winner. Even if I do lose sometimes, I will always be a winner."
They stared at each other.
'Did I really just say that?'
'He is so confident! But should I trust him?'
'Maybe this was a bad idea… But then again…'
'I want to try! He said he wouldn't give up… Why should I?'
Were the thoughts that silently echoed through the room.
A gentle and very simple smile awakened on her lips as she nodded.
"I will do it." – She said.
He couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle and smile back.
"Good choice. I'll see you tomorrow." – Was the last thing Sasuke said before heading from the door and leaving the room. 'I did it.'
As soon as Hinata heard the click that announced that the door was shut and that she was alone, she gently jumped on her bed and fell with her head of the pillow and her arms stretched to her sides. Her long and silky hair spread all along her pillow and some tips of it even falling gently off of the bed.
She took a deep breath and smiled widely.
NONE of the doctors had been so and confident towards her! They always said the usual 'We'll try our best.' Well she didn't want them to try their best! She wanted them to cure her! And now, that was Sasuke's job. But would he succeed at it…?
'Even if I do lose sometimes, I will always be a winner.'
She smiled even wider.
"Of course he will!" – She let out in a satisfied tone.
-.-.-.-.-.-
"What took you so long?" – Naruto asked as he and Sasuke walked outside, Sasuke still buttoning up his jacket. It was winter, and as they talked little smoke clouds appeared out of their breath and disappeared as quickly.
"I lost my watch. I just went looking for it." – Sasuke replied taking out his gloves from his pockets and putting them on his hands before resting his hands back in his pockets.
"Did ya find it?"
"Yep."
"NARUTO!" – A female voice squealed from behind them.
"Oh no..." – Sasuke muttered receiving a light warning punch on the shoulder from Naruto.
"Hi Sakura-chan!" – Naruto said waving his hand to her, immediately regretting it since Sakura ran past Naruto and stopped right in front of Sasuke.
"Hi Sasuke-kun! How was your day? Did you like the place? The food? Did Naruto give you a decent tour around here?" – She kept talking avoiding any of them to react.
Sasuke covered her mouth with his left hand. His hand was bound to freeze, but right now he was willing to do anything just to shut her up.
"The place is fine and I am taking the job." – He replied annoyed. 'Does she have to be so loud? How annoying.' ´
"Oh." – She mumbled as she was able to push his hand aside. She was actually surprised that she was receiving a glare from the Uchiha. All the other men just fell on her like chickens on corn.
"Uh, Sakura…" – Naruto mumbled trying to get her out of her trance.
"Oh Naruto I'm sorry, I didn't see you there!" – She exclaimed before jumping on him and hugging him tightly.
"Uh… That's ok, I guess." – He muttered, gently wrapping his arms around her waist.
Sasuke couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the situation. Did that girl just ignore her fiancé only to offer herself to his best friend?
'She's the hideous one. Repulsive.' He thought to himself as he stared at Sakura, disgust and anger shining in his dark onyx eyes.
Apparently there was more to this place and these people than it seemed to be… But just how far would any of them be willing go to get what they want?
