Ch.4 The Fight
Don grabbed Hinata by the arm and brought her along to the stadium. Hinata became very sad. Her best friend and the guy she liked were about to fight. Though, there was something else. The realization that Naruto would never notice her as more than just a weird girl, who faints when around him, sunk in.
She felt odd, as if now she still had that drive towards Naruto but now also she felt a drive towards Don, the only guy who really ever bothered to get to know her. Now she had affection for him.
They reached the stadium, now it was dark. They took their positions in a standoff while Hinata stood at a distance. "Be careful," she said to herself. As usual Naruto started his attack my summoning his shadow clones. He charged towards Don and attacked him.
Within a few seconds Don had gotten rid of the clones and had Naruto in his grasp. He pulled Naruto's arm behind his back and pulled up. Naruto grunted in pain.
"You know Naruto I doubt anyone has ever told you this, but Hinata likes you, she always has. And you have the nerve to disrespect her in public?" Don said pushing him into the ground and pulling his arm upper towards his neck. "I…grrr. I'm sorry" Naruto grunted.
"Don't tell me that, I'm not the one that likes you, tell Hinata that, say it nice and loud now." Then Naruto lifted his head and shouted "Hinata I'm sorry for the way I treated you and thank you for looking up to me."
Hinata nodded and Naruto smiled at her. He thought to himself that maybe he and she could work out. Maybe Don was right, maybe Sakura wasn't the girl for him. Now that he knew the truth he felt bad about himself for never noticing.
Then out of nowhere a shadow clone came hurtling down and with its hands clumped together pounded Don's head. Don let go of Naruto and fell to the ground unconscious. Hinata gasped and ran to Don's side.
"Go get the medics, hurry!" Hinata said to Naruto. Naruto delayed a few moments and then ran off to the hospital to get the medics. A while later, the medics came and carried Don off to the hospital. Hinata walked beside the stretcher and held Don's hand.
Naruto strolled behind and watched. When they got to the building they had to wait outside the emergency room. Hinata sat at the edge of the bench closest to the door. "You like him don't you Hinata" Naruto said.
"I do a lot, but I like you as well. I…I've known Don since we were little kids. He's my best friend. He means everything to me. He's known since I met him that I liked you."
"Wow, I had no idea" Naruto said. "Since then he's tried to encourage my from stop being shy and go and tell you how I feel. Just like you have encouraged me to become stronger and never give up."
A medical ninja came out of the swinging door and Hinata and Naruto got up. "Is he going to be alright sir?" Hinata said.
The doctor smiled "Yes he just has a cracked skull, he's all patched up, a few days rest and he will be good as new. Though in the mean time, he is not to be walking around." Hinata smiled and they brought him to his room. Don was still unconscious.
"Hinata would you like me to bring you home?" Naruto asked. Hinata shook her head "No, I'm going to stay here with Don. Thank you though." Then Naruto walked up to Hinata and gave her a kiss on the cheek "Well good night Hinata" and he left the building and went home.
