Finally ! Exam's over ! Am really sorry that i haven't updated, i already told you people the reason why ^~^ oh, well, at least i updated now. lol. I tried to make this longer, but, am having mental block right now, just a temporary set back.
About your request. Hmm, I'll try to place some of it here and it's alright, i'm not a fan. But i don't hate anyone. I'll try but not any time soon, cause Sasuke's not here yet. Sorry, i really can't change the pairings, for a lot of reasons.
P.S. Again, this will not be any of the 'Akatsuki' members yet. It will still be the other's. Don't worry, the next one might be the Akatsuki already. And this is slightly AU, it think. And also a bit OC.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Period.

Hinata's POV
Where was I... ?
My head felt heavy.
I remember Naruto, running away, Sakura going after me... yes, Sakura. I remember now. Sakura helped me, and when i was in her bathroom, i felt this sering pain in my forehead.
That must have been it. Everything's black now. What happened ? Did i get attacked without sensing anyones chakra ? I don't think so.
Painfully, my eyes snapped open. I still felt like i've had the worst splitting head-ache, ever. I felt a warm blanket covering me up to my mouth, Sakura must have brought me to her bed. She's so kind... I also felt a warm, wet towel on my forehead. She must have placed it there, i wonder if she ever got her sleep, i didn't want to be a burden...
"Hey, your awake, Hinata. Can you here me ?" I heard a voice shout, it was fast, but kind. I remember that voice...
"N-naruto... ?" I asked weakly and stood upright. I was shocked that he was here and also happy at the same time to have his precence near me.
He nodded at my direction and smiled, my heart fluttered. "Yeah, are you alright, Hinata ?"
I felt blood rushing through my cheeks, he was here. Naruto was here, and he was asking me if i was alright ! I know that this is nothing to get so worked up about, but, i just couldn't help it.
"I-i still f-feel a bit of p-pain in my h-head...." I stamered.
He frowned, but smiled again. "Sakura told me about your fever, I hope you get better soon." He sounded so sincere. That's one of the things that i love about him. Then, a thought hit me.
"W-where is, S-sakura ?" I asked quietly.
He just placed his arms behind his back and grinned. "She said that she needed to buy some medicines for you," When i started to protest her said, "Don't worry about the cost, Sakura said you don't need to pay her back."
I frowned, then gave him a small smile "T-that's nice... T-tell her, T-thank you."
He grinned, "Sure."
Silence followed after that. I didn't know what to say, i was just so happy he was here. I hope he dosen't leave... ever.

Naruto's POV
Hinata looked alright. She's a strong girl who was also vulnerable at the same time. Sakura filled me in on everything and i was glad that she safe, and that nothing bad happened to her.
"Hinata, would do you need anything like water, food, or anything ? Sakura said that we can use her refridgirator. I ate a little, not really, i mean, alright, a lot." I laughed. She smiled. She looked kinda cute.
Suddenly, I heard my stomach growl. Hinata giggled a bit and my face turned red. "Ah, I think i'll go see if Sakura has any ramen left." I said, she frowned, and i felt relucant to leave her.
"I won't be long. While i'm at it, tell me what you want to eat or drink." I told her, smiling.
"T-that's fine... I-i would l-like a g-glass of water, N-naruto-kun." She told my shyly. She was always stuttering, sometimes i wish she'd stop, she'd be more pre-- damn ! I should really stop these thoughts from entering my mind !
I nodded and went into the kitchen. Sakura's kitchen wasn't that big, she was just living in an appartment, so i didn't expect much. I came to visit her earlier -invite her out, maybe-, but then she told me what happened and i got worried and decided to help her.
I went to the fridge and opened it. There was a lot of food here, Sakura eats a lot, and she'd kill me if i said anything about it. It was a secret and i liked sharing secrets with her. Still, i don't know how she keeps her figure after eating so much.
I took out a ramen and licked my lips, i was so hungry ! I was about to open it when i remembered that Hinata needed water. I needed to take care of her, of course.
I opened the fridge again and grabbed a bottle of water and another ramen, I thought that maybe, Hinata would like some, it'll be more fun to eat ramen when your eating it with your friend, right ?
I took out two glass cups from the kitchen drawer and poured water in them, one for hinata and one for myself. After doing so, I looked around and found what i was looking for. A tray. I was gonna use it to make things look fancy, ehehe.
I placed everything on the silver tray and walked carefully back, I didn't want to spill the water, that could prove to be critical. I entered the room and saw Hinata sitting on the edge of the bed. She was looking down and seemed to be deep in her thoughts.
This was my chance to surpprise her. "Your order's here !" I grinned when she bolted up from the bed. I laughed then, she blushed and frowned, but then she recognized my friendly teasing laughed and she also laughed with me. This... kinda felt... good. Really good.
I closed my eyes an kept grinning, while walking towards her with the silver tray on my hands. Then, to my sheer horror, i tripped on one of the loose wooden tiles on the floor and the silver tray swung from my hands. I fell down flat on my face. Ouch ! That hurt ! The ramens fell at her sides, good, then the glass landed on her forhead the other on her chest, very bad. She got wet and one of the worst part of it all was the fact that the glass broke and that a small trickle of blood trailed down her face. She fell down backwards onto the bed, her face looked pale.
I gaped at her and started to panick. "Hinata, don't move ! I'll get the towel !" I shouted and ran to get the towel, which was just placed on top of the shelf. I went back and started to wipe her forehead. "I'm so sorry ! It's going to be alright, Hinata, just let me handle this."
She didn't respond, but her face was all red. I then looked down at her dress and noticed that the water made her white dress sticky and it clung to her body making it very, very transparrent.
I twitched, then blushed. I also noticed our position, she on the bed and me on top of her...
Then, due to my extreme unluckiness these days, Sakura walked in panting looking tired. She held a whole bag of medicines on her right hand the door knob on her left. She dropped them on the side and then looked relieved to have removed the heavy weight of the bag. She smiled, which was immedietly replaced by a frown when she saw me and Hinata, in this position...
"What the Hell !? Naruto you PERVERT !!!" She screamed then violently yanked me off of Hinata and started punching me. After some painful punching she threw me to the other side of the wall and went to Hinata.
"Hinata ! What happened to you ? If it's anything this baka did, I swear I'll kill him." She looked momintarilly angry and at the same time concerned for Hinata. She was a good person, really. Ouch !
"N-no, it's n-not what you t-think. Y-you s-see... N-naruto-kun a-accidentaly spilled the g-glass of w-water over me a-and--"
Suddenly a dark aura that i knew so well surrounded Sakura, and i gulped and started to back away. She turned around to glare, death was written in her eyes.
Her voice was scary and i knew that this was my cue to leave. Right about...
"NARUTO !!!"
Now ! I scrambled outside the door before Sakura could even move. I looked back and saw that she was stopped by Hinata. Thanks Hinata, I thought I was a gonner there. I have to thank her later. But for now. See ya later !

Sakura's POV
That no good perverted Bastard ! How dare he take advantage of a girl when she's sick !? And the nerve of him to just leave after wounding wounding her. Oh, when i find him--
"S-sakura-chan, L-let me e-explain." Hinata pleaded. I looked at her.
"There's nothing to explain, I know exactly what happened and I plan to make sure that man get's what's comming to him !"
"N-no ! L-listen !" He voice held some force, which was rare from her. So, it caught my attention.
I allowed her to drag me back inside, and after tending her wounds she explained everything. Then, I understood everything. And i kinda felt bad for treating Naruto that way after he tried to help her. I made a mental note to apologize to him later.
"S-so... p-please don't be m-mad at h-him anymore..." She blushed and stuttered. And I could see that she really loves Naruto. She's such a nice girl.
"Hinata, do you really love Naruto that much ?" I asked her, giving her a warm smile.
The redish color of her face darkened and she tried effortlessly not to shake "W-what are y-you talking a-about ?"
"It's obvious, Hinata. I know when a girl likes a guy, trust me, I can tell. You lucky Naruto's, really slow when it comes to girl's effections." I smiled at her. And she gave me a relucant smile.
"A-ah, I r-really L-love N-naruto-kun..."
I patted her on the back. "I know. But remember not all boys are nice and not all of them will accept your feelings..." My voice trailed off and I had the sudden memory of Saskue...
Hinata seemed to read my mind and told me, "D-don't worry S-sakura-chan. I'm sure that N-naruto-kun will b-bring Sasuke b-back. H-have faith i-in him."
I really, truly envy her at the moment. I envy her faith in Naruto. I wish that I had that kind of faith in Sasuke. Sasuke, wherever you are now, I hope that your safe. And i hope that you'll come back.
"He'll never come back." I mummbled, unaware that Hinata heard me.
She stood up and stared at me hard. "d-don't say that S-sakura-chan ! N-naruto-kun will bring him b-back ! I-i believe in h-him. A-and when he c-comes back, p-please tell him h-how you f-feel S-sakura-chan." She looked so sincere.
This was a hard decision and yet, Hinata's words gave me courage. This girl, who was shy and all, gave me strenght. Maybe, it's because... we have the same feelings. Both boys who don't notice us. I won't give up !
"I will Hinata-chan." I stood up too and walked for the door. "I have the medicines here, and don't worry, you don't have to pay me back... And Hinata ?"
"W-what ?"
"Thank you." I smiled at her.

Hinata's POV
I'm glad that she's happy again. I understand her. And I want her to be happy, to be cheerful again. I may not have been able to bring Naruto's smile back, but at least I was able to make Sakura happy. And that's just about more than enough.
But that smile, somehow, before she left the room. I wished that I never saw that smile. There was something in it that suggested that Sakura do something... well, i don't know, outragous...
That can't be, right ?
