Chapter 4: Celebration

Author's Note:

Thank you, guys for the review. I know that this story is little bit boring and characters are slightly out of their characters. I will try my best to portray the characters as they are but I am so sorry to say that these characters will be out of their characters for few more chapters. I know what you may be thinking; I have been like this crappy all the time. It's very difficult to write about the pairs in which one is totally different from other. I know that this Sasuhina pair sucks but seeing how manga is turning out, I don't want Hinata to be left all alone and sad for Naruto when all he does is never acknowledge her and runs off to Sakura. I wish and pray from bottom of my heart for NaruHina and SasuSaku but in the end it will be NaruSaku. I think this will happen after seeing how Minato is asking Naruto about Sakura if she is his girlfriend and I don't want to say but he said it's kind of like that. All the hopes and dreams I have ever dream t of were washed away with just that sentence and my left chest ache of pain and heart shattered into pieces that I couldn't count nor could I gather. After thinking about it for weeks I finally picked up myself and tried to write about it but I couldn't write much as I was little down and well my English is little not little much more crappy. Is this getting boring? Oh well I will continue it some other time. For now please enjoy this chapter and please don't forget to review, it will really mean a lot to me.

"Aw-ww, it hurts. .. huh… how did I get bandages all over my body? Aw-ww…." Hinata woke up trying her best to get up and trying to analyze the situation she is in. Trying to gain conscious weak Hinata caressing through bluish silky hair to her snow white forehead she wiped the toils that were teasing her, playing hard to catch and slipping through the grip of slender white fingers. Hinata still feeling dizzy was trying hard to open up the curtains of eyelids and let the white pearl eyes to feel the breeze and welcome the warmed greeting of rays of light.

"Um-mm where am I?.. Oh, that's… that's Sas.. " Hinata mumbled as she was not able to make out what was happening. Beside her bed was a long, dark haired feature sitting crossed armed and face cold and calm as ever before. Hinata never anticipated out of all the people in this world Sasuke would be sitting next to her and in the situation like this. It was getting awkward by the minute as Sasuke was sitting with carefree look in his face so close to her without bothering Hinata's state. Hinata tried to gather all her strength and speak to Sasuke who was still unaware that Hinata had waked up. Sasuke was fast asleep even during sleep he looked cute and on top of it he was drooling. Most of the girl would have fell over it and would be like "Dwaaaa.." but Hinata couldn't stop herself from giggling and slightly blushing. Hearing Hinata giggling Sasuke finally woke up from his dream lair.

"Sas.. Sasuke – san, how.. What.. Where am I? What happened?" Hinata asked softly with confused look.

"You are finally awake. You are in hospital. You have been out for two days." Sasuke said coldly though he was relieved. Hinata was more than surprised. There were so many questions popping on her head. Suddenly she realized, the last time she was in the training ground watching Naruto about to be hit by Sasuke's chidori.

"Wh.. where is Naruto – kun? Is he alright?" Hinata asked. She was so worried about Naruto it was written all over her face.

"Tche, yeah that baka is still alive, slightly brushed but alright." Sasuke replied in annoyed tone.

"I should see him.." Hinata tried to get up but fell down, surrendering her still body to merciless bed but was caught in middle by strong arms.

"You are weak, don't try to move. You are under my supervision so don't act hastily. You do as I say." Sasuke commanded, blushing a little bit.

"Demo, Naruto – Kun needs me. I have to…" Hinata was interrupted in middle by Sasuke's dreadful glare. Unable to look at those vicious, cold, dark eyes Hinata faced down and kept quiet.

"You stay here; I will inform that baka… I am right outside. If you need anything, call me. Right now don't move, I will get something to eat." Sasuke said coldly looking away from Hinata. Sasuke was little disappointed at Hinata. After all the things he had done for her, she doesn't stop thinking about Naruto and thinks so little of him. Suddenly the thought of Hinata jumping in the middle, he hitting her with chidori and blood spattering all over his face came into picture, he was just relieved that she was alive.

"What Sasuke – san mean by I am under his supervision? And why is he angry with me? Did I do something wrong?" Hinata was trying to get answers but she was more lost in questions. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. She thought may be its her prince charming or may be that rude fellow. The door cracked opened and came big white furry dog swinging his tail.

"Hi Hinata – chan. How are you?" Kiba came with big smile on his face and Akamaru barked.

Hinata was relieved to see her nakama and she replied smiling -"Hi Kiba – kun, hi Akamaru – kun. I guess I am fine. What happened in the match?"

"Well you threw yourself in middle to save Naruto as usual, that Uchiha brat hit you with his chidori, you fell down and then he gave up. So technically Naruto won the match and became rokudaime Hokage and by the way there is big celebration today for Naruto's victory, you should come." Kiba explained. Hinata was happy that Naruto was fine and after waiting for years finally he became Hokage. She was so happy and blushing thinking about Naruto.

"Oie oie Hinata – chan, don't blush just by hearing that baka's name. He sure is lucky to have someone like you." Kiba said teasing blushing Hinata which caused her to blush even more.

"By the way, where is that brat, your bodyguard?" – Kiba.

"My bodyguard?" Hinata was totally shocked to hear that.

"Yeah, your bodyguard. Do you know that Sasuke brat has been assigned to look after you until you are healed?" – Kiba.

"What? But why?" Hinata asked immediately.

"First of, that brat is the one who caused harm to you and second he requested himself." Kiba said with confused look.

"I don't understand." Hinata was more confused than before.

"Me neither, maybe he is repenting for his sins not that he can repent all but that guy is sure taking care of you. He didn't allow anyone to enter this room. He even requested for this room and guards you twenty-four hours a day. He has changed so much past these couple of days, he sure is strange fellow." Kiba sighed. After a moment of silence, Kiba spoke.

"You know Hinata – chan, you scared me to death when you jumped in front of chidori. Thank god that Sasuke turned and hit you on left arm only. I know you were just trying to protect Naruto but sometime think about yourself too, think about your nakama, your family. I know this doesn't sound like me but after Neji died, I worry about you all the time. You don't smile that much nowadays nor do you go out. The only time you smile is when that baka is around. Roam around Hinata –chan, meet new people, may be go out with someone and live a happy life. Don't throw away your life just like that otherwise Neji's sacrifice will be for nothing." Kiba said in serious tone. Hinata didn't say anything, she just looked down. After a moment Kiba returned to his old self.

"Hinata – chan, after you are discharged lets grab a byte together, you and me. What's say?" Kiba asked hoping for the positive response.

"Um-mm.. yeah sure." Hinata agreed.

"That's what I am talking about Hinata – chan, your smile is the best." Kiba was overjoyed hearing that, he wrapped his arms around Hinata hugging her which was quit a site to see as Kiba never acted like that before. Both Hinata and Kiba were blushing.

"Hey dog Inuzuka, what are you doing here?" Sasuke said frowning.

"Why you little?.." Kiba grunted.

"This is not your perimeter, why are you sniffing around?" Sasuke said coldly. He was furious but he didn't show a tiny bit of anger in his face or voice.

"It has nothing to do with you brat. I am here to visit my old friend." Kiba grunted "Any way Hinata – chan, are you free today?" Kiba asked smiling. Hinata was about to say she was free when Kiba added "I was just wondering since Naruto is going with Sakura, may be you and I can.. you know.. go together at tonight's party." Hinata suddenly felt down after hearing Sakura's name. Hinata was little sad hearing that Naruto was going with Sakura. Hinata was feeling worse as she didn't get a chance to confess to Naruto.

"Hinata – chan , oie Hinata. Are you there?" Kiba asked shaking frozen Hinata.

"Um.. well… I…" Hinata was trying to collect her thought upon that.

"NO" there was suddenly that loud voice. Both Hinata and Kiba were shocked. It was Sasuke who said no. "She is not fine and she can't leave this hospital till then." Sasuke justified himself hastily. Kiba grunted and grinned his teeth.

"Gomenasai, Kiba – kun but today I want to rest today." Hinata quickly said feeling the tension arising in the room.

"Well then if you say so. I should be going then. See ya Hinata – chan, get well soon. Let's go Akamaru." Kiba said feeling little sad.

"Yeah, you better go, you dog." Sasuke thought as they exchanged glare at each other.

After the moment of awkward silence, Sasuke offered fruits to Hinata.

"Arigato, Sasuke – san. Ano …. Sasuke – san why did you say I couldn't go really?" Hinata asked seeking some answers.

"Well you might not want to go party today because you might see things you don't want to see." Sasuke said frowning. Sasuke flashbacked, Sakura was asking Sasuke to go out with her but he turned her down since then she has been clinging on to Naruto like a leech and she thinks she is making Sasuke jealous.

"Hi Hinata – chan, how are you?" Naruto barged in without knocking. Seeing Naruto all of the sudden Hinata was speechless and blushing hard.

"This is hospital, tune your voice down." Sasuke said sending icy cold glare at Naruto.

"Na na Sasuke, I came here to visit my friend so don't spoil my reputation in front of her." Naruto was trying to let things go but Sasuke was still upset about that. "By the way Hinata – chan, I heard you were not coming to the party, is it true?" Naruto asked looking directly at Hinata. Hinata could not answer him, she was just blushing.

"She can't go, she is still sick." Sasuke interrupted.

"Hahn Sasuke, why are you answering for her, I am talking to Hinata – chan you know, let her answer me. Hinata – chan, I came here to invite you to the party personally, it will mean a great thing to me if you come. You are coming right, please Hinata – chan, please.."Naruto was trying hard to convince Hinata. Without a moment of hesitation Hinata agreed bowing her head.

"Yahoo! That's more like Hinata –chan I know. OK then see you at the party. Oh yeah, Sasuke you come too I want to show you something, bye Hinata – chan…" Naruto was grinning from ear to ear making Sasuke furious.

"I strictly told her not to go to the party but does she listen to me, no, she listens to only that baka. I don't know what that baka is planning on. Oh I have a bad feeling about this." Sasuke thought looking at blushing Hinata.

"Naruto – kun invited me personally. Oh what should I do what should I do? But wait isn't Naruto – kun coming with Sakura – chan? Then why did he invite me, wait no, no maybe he knows about my feelings for him. This may be my last chance to tell Naruto – Kun how much I love him before Naruto – Kun holds Sakura – chan's hand. No, no, I should be the one to confess him first before I miss my chance forever. Yeah, I should go to the party and tell him right away." Hinata was lost in her dreams while Sasuke was having hard time figuring what was on Hinata's mind.

Guys please review. There's going to be lots of drama in next chapter so keep reading.
