"Hinata!"

"Hinata!"

"Hinata, where are you?!" Sakura called out as her friends and her looked all over the forest when they followed Hinata out of the mall.

"Dammit, where'd she go? It's getting late," Temari said.

"Damn Hinata's family. Just because she has Autism doesn't mean she's an idoit. I oughta go to to to that Hyugga house and kick them both in the-" Ino was interrupted when she heard Naruto yelling across the forest.

"Did you find Hinata anywhere?" Tenten asked.

"No. We looked everywhere we thought she'd be, and still couldn't find her," Naruto said.

"Samething for us," Lee said landing on his feet from being in a tree watching Sakura wipe away th tears that formed in her eyes. Placing a hand on her shoulder, "It'll be okay, Sakura. It's not your fault Hinata snapped like that."

"I-I know. It's not that. It's just.....I'm worried about what Hinata's thinking. After she hit me by mistake, I think she thought that I would get mad and hate her for it," Sakura sniffled.

'That's why she rand off like that. It's because Hinata cares about Sakura too much to let anyone or anything hurt her,' Naruto thought.

Hinata was running down the streets ignoring the sounds of cars honking at her to move and people exclaiming whenever she bumped into someone as she continued to run with tears still in her eyes until she suddenly bumped into someone making her fall on her butt.

"Hey, are you alright?" It was Leah and Carley who saw Hinata cry with her head in her hands. "Hinata, is that you?"

"I hurt her. I hurt her. I hurt the person I love, I hurt person I love," Hinata sobbed.

"Hinata, what's wrong? What happened?" Leah asked.

"Leah, you know her?" Carley said.

"Yeah, I met her in soccer. She's the one who gave me a hug last year when our team last and said 'I'm sorry you lost'."

"Oh, yeah. Her. But why is she crying?"

"I don't know," Leah said, placing a hand on Hinata's shoulder, "Hey, you alright, Hinata? Who did you hurt?"

"S-S-Sakura-Sakura," Hinata said rocking back and forth on the ground fiddling with her finders shakily muttering a few things in nonsense.

"Don't worry, Hinata, it'll be okay. You wana come with us to our house until you calm down?" Leah softly offered.

"Leah are you sure that's a good idea?" Carley asked.

"You gotta point. Hinata, do you have anyone's phone number with you?"

"Yes," Hinata said.

"Then, it's official. Hinata will stay with us until she calms down," Leah said helping Hinata up as her, Leah, and Carley walked home.

There, Leah saw that Hinata was feeling at bit as she saw Hinata talking to Leah. She saw able to talk to Carley about what happened.

"Wow. It seems to me, it wasn't your fault, Hinata," Carley said as the brunette walked around the room and picked up different objects.

"Yeah. it's just your good-for-nothing sister's fault for saying that crap because it's not true," Leah said playing with her Okami video game.

"B-But Hinabi's right. I won't be able to go to college because of what I have, what I have," Hinata said.

"What are you talking about?" Carley wondered.

"I have something called Autism, Autism. People won't accept me at the college of having it. Not even Sakura for punching her like punching bag," Hinata said looking a picture of Leah and Carley. Leah was laying her head on Carley's lap.

"So? Just because you're autistic doesn't mean anything. I'm in college and have a Learning Disability and I'm doing fine," Leah said.

"You're failing English 1010," Carley said.

"Don't tell her that."

Carley rolled her eyes at what Leah said. "Anyway, Hinata, what Leah-san is trying to say is that just because you have a condition dosn't mean you can't go to college or anything. I mean, I have a rare condition called Bardet-Biedl Syndrome which slowly causes me to slowly go blind."

"Might! It might make you go blind!" Leah pointed out.

"Anyway, have you talked to Sakura about this?"

"........Alittle. But......"

"But what?" Carley wondered as Hinata fiddled with a stran of her hair.

"I don't know if his is right what I'm feeling, but whenever I try to tell Sakura about how I feel, I have here," Hinata said pointing at her chest, "I try and ignore it, but the more I try and do that, the ore tighter my chest become and the more faster than my heart is. And it only happens when I'm around Sakura. But.....she's a woman. Like me."

Carley understood what Hinata was talking about because she knew that feeling when she met Leah online on that day.

"Wh-What do you think I should so?" Hinata wondered.

"Well, maybe you should tell Sakura how you really feel about her," Carley said.

"But what if people try to take her away like Bad Sasuke did?"

"I don't know. But if it does happen, I know you take whoever does try and take Sakura away down. You took me down in soccer last year with that super kick," Leah said as Hinata smiled putting the photo of Leah and Carley down.

"You're right, you're right, you're right. I gotta go tel Skaura before I lose her." Hinata ran out the door when Leah was about to call Sakura.

"You think we should follow Hinata?"

"Nah. I have a feeling she'll be fine," Carley said, "I think she just took your bike."

"Eh, whatever. I have another one in the basement," Leah said.
