Chapter 4

Hinata was called to Hiashi's office.
Oh no.
She sat down at the table.
Hiashi's face was pretty serious.
"Is it true that you are dating Uzumaki Naruto?" Hiashi frowned.

"Who told you?" Hinata asked panicked.

I am going to kill that kid.

"Just answer my question" Hiashi was starting to get impatient.

Hinata nodded her head bitterly.

"Listen Hinata, it's not like I have anything against this boy, he won the war after all"

Hinata's face lit up.

Maybe there is a chance.

Father has changed a lot.

"Demo, he has the Kyuubi chakra, and the elders won't be pleased. The blame will be placed upon me"

Hinata nodded.

"So, I want you to what they call, break up with him. You must do that in a month's time. The elders are sure to find out by then"

Hinata really wanted to cry.

"Who told you though?" She asked.

"The kid didn't tell me so don't kill him, I just had a hunch"

She bowed and ran out of the room.

Hinata darted into her room and tears started flowing out of her eyes soaking the blindfold. She was hiccuping and crying like crazy.

Screw the elders!

All they do is mess everything up!

She hugged her purple panda bear and cried. Hanabi was watching with her Byakugan. She felt so bad for Hinata.

Hinata eventually cried herself to sleep.

The next day Kiba came up to Hinata's house. He was worried about her because he hasn't seen her in a long time.

Hinata opened the door.

"Hinata! I haven't seen you in a long time. Don't stop talking to me because you are dating Naruto now!"

"I'm sorry Kiba…"

"Is it just me, or is your hair a little shorter?"

"No. I cut it a little"

Hinata wasn't feeling like telling him why.

"You don't look so good. You should be happy now since you're dating-"

"I'm not!" Hinata blurted.

Kiba's expression was priceless.

Kiba couldn't imagine Naruto and Hinata breaking up. They were meant for each other.

"Don't tell me you broke up with him. Just the other day I saw he was looking so happy!"

"Kiba you're making it harder for me!"

"Here let's go walk around Konoha and you can tell me everything"

Hinata nodded and went back inside to get a jacket. They went out outside and walked in silence.

"So… you guys are still dating right?"

Hinata nodded.

"Why are you so depressed then?"

"My father said I h-have to break up with him.."

"Oh"

Kiba looked up at the cloudy sky.

"It looks like it's gonna snow"

"Kiba what should I do really... you don't know..I really love him!

Kiba looked at Hinata with pity.

"Maybe you can try to convince him.."

Hinata shook her head.

"It's not him I have to convince. It's the elders. I don't think he cares whom I date.

These stupid elders! They have nothing else better to do but to micromanage my love life!"

She kicked at the dirt under her feet.

She smiled sadly at Kiba "I hope he will be happy with whomever he is going end up with. I can't believe I actually thought that I would live happily ever after with him!"

Kiba scratched his chin.

"Maybe you can live happily ever after with Naruto"

"How?"

"You can try to convince the elders!"

"But they are gonna lose all respect for me! And they aren't gonna let me!"

"But isn't he like the son of the Hokage or that's just a roomer"

"He is the yondaime's son" Hinata answered.

"Then you can use that as an argument"

"But he has the Kyuubi…" Hinata's voice was almost nonexistent. Kiba was used to that.

"I can try to help you… You know to break up" Kiba offered.

Hinata wrinkled her brow.

"Of course I can't tell Naruto about the elders. He'll just make it worse"

Kiba nodded in agreement.

"What day is it today Kiba?"

"I think it's November twenty-seventh"

"Ok, so I have to tell him by December twenty-sixth" Hinata resolved.

She couldn't bear that thought because all she wanted to do is be in his arms right now. She also has a thing with bottling up her feelings and letting them go at the most unexpected times.

"When do you want to tell him?"

"After I get the bandages off my eyes"

Kiba laughed, "Why would you wanna see his devastated face?"

Hinata elbow nudged him.

"It's not funny" she muttered.

Flakes of snow started dropping from the sky.

The next week Hinata's eyes were completely healed, she went to the doctor and they took it off.

She loved being able to see everything around her but she was told not to use her Byakugan for at least another week.

By then all of Konoha was covered in snow. If it was up to Hinata, she would have as much fun, and take as much love as she can before she broke up with Naruto. But she couldn't do that to him.
Kiba went to Hinata's house that day.

"How about we do this tomorrow…" Hinata didn't want to break up with Naruto.

"No, You can't procrastinate with this kind of stuff." Kiba pushed.

"Ok"

They both walked slowly to Naruto's house.

Hinata was dragging her feet, and before they knew it, they were at his house.

Kiba didn't go up to his apartment, he just stayed downstairs.

Hinata just stood there not moving a muscle.

"Why don't you start by knocking!" Kiba called.

Hinata swallowed and knocked on the door.

She hoped that Naruto wasn't home.

In a few seconds, he opened the door.

"Oh hi, Hinata! You got the bandages off your eyes?"

Hinata was drowning in guilt.

"Ya," She squeaked.

"You look really nice," he told her.

He was smiling sweetly.

Hinata really wanted to hug him and be in his arms.

"I n-need t-to tell you something Naruto-Kun" Hinata stuttered.

"What is it Hina?"

"Don't c-call me that…"

Naruto closed his eyes and was cleaning his ears with his pinky.

"I thought you said ya liked the name"

He was perfectly calm and didn't suspect a thing.

On the other hand, Hinata was panicking and was nervous.

"I do, it's just th-that it's just not gonna work…" Hinata wasn't good at communicating her feelings. Her heart was telling her one thing but her mind was telling her another.

Naruto opened his eyes, flicked his pinky and smiled.

"You're gonna say something cute like it is embarrassing or something"

"N-no I can't be w-with you anymore…."

She said quietly.

Naruto didn't think he heard that correctly.

"What? Hina. I don't think I heard you correctly" he wasn't smiling anymore.

Tears started building up in Hinata's eyes.

She put her face in her hands and let the tears spill out of her eyes.

"Hinata are you okay? You are acting weird today"

"I said I can't be with you anymore! Naruto, I'm breaking up with you!"

Hinata couldn't believe she said that.

She was looking straight into his eyes, tears pouring out her own.

His eyes widened in realization.

There was no way he could have misheard her.

She turned and ran, hair flowing behind her.

Naruto was just standing there, not moving a muscle.

The cold Air was stinging his face. "Did she just dump me?"

He closed the door and cried.

There was a hole in his heart.

Doesn't she love me?

What was that for then?

What did I do wrong?

I thought she said she loved me since the academy.

That night they both cried themselves to sleep.

The next day, Hinata went to her dad to tell him about her not dating Naruto anymore.

Everyone in the Hyuuga compound felt pity for Hinata.

She stayed in her room for god knows how many days. Only eating what Hanabi gives her. If Hanabi didn't give her food, Hinata would have starved to death.

She wrote in her diary listening to sad love songs and crying. Hinata remembered when she met Kushina. She wondered if Kushina would be mad at her.

It was hard for Hinata to remember Naruto's devastated face without feeling guilty.

After about two weeks of hiding in her room, she got tired.

Hinata went to the training grounds. He needed to let it all out.

Unfortunately, someone was there before her. It was Naruto.

Hinata gasped and hid behind a tree. The same tree she usually hides behind while staking him.

It was almost like the old days. Naruto would usually come to train when something was bothering him. There was light snow on the ground, not enough to make footprints. Naruto was murdering the training logs.

He must really have something bothering him.

Once he got tired, he fell on the light snow on his back and looked up at the sky.

If Hinata looks close enough, she could see tears streaming down Naruto's face.

No way is he crying?

"Kuso" he cursed.

"I'm lonely again"

"Oi, Kurama. What do you think I should do?"

Is he talking to the Kyuubi?

Kurama answered in Naruto's head so it looks like he is talking to himself.

"Don't ask me" Kurama replied.

"What do you think I did wrong?"

No, you didn't do anything wrong Naruto-Kun. It's all me, you should have never loved something like me.

"Don't bother me with your stupid problems"

"I wonder if... she even loved me…"

Hinata ran.
