First of all, I'm sorry, sorry and more sorry for taking this long, and second of all I'm am sorry for the shortness. But I believe that I will be able to get rid of my writer block soon. So please wait for the next chapter! And enjoy this short but eventful one .

I don't own Naruto, just this story and the crappy plots.

Captured Swan.

Hinata, Neji and Hanabi had waited for a long time at the hospital, but the nurses wouldn't tell them anything, and they wouldn't let them see Naruto. So at last, Neji managed to get Hinata home.

"You really need to sleep Hinata-sama, the big dance event is tomorrow."

Even if Hinata didn't have the lead part, her role was a big one. But now she couldn't even imagine dancing. Her body was numb, and she felt like an empty shell. She went to bed completely exhausted, and fell asleep at once from weariness. She woke up early the next morning; Aya was already in her room doing some cleaning. When the memories from the day before started to come back to her, she felt something in her chest tighten, like a big iron claw grasping her heart. Before she knew it, Aya was by her side, a considered look on her face.

"What's the matter Hinata-sama?" She got down on her knees beside her bed.

"Are you worried about your performance today? Well, you shouldn't be, because you're a fantastic dancer. And I'm sure that everybody will be moved to tears by your dancing today, so…"

Hinata held up a hand to make her stop.

She spoke with her head bowed, her fringe covering her eyes.

"Aya, would you come with me somewhere today?"

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

When they arrived at the hospital, they were met by a plump nurse, with glasses so thick you could almost not make out her eyes through them.

"Uzumaki Naruto you say?" She flipped through her notebook, squinting at what was written there.

"Yes, he's staying in the second floor, room 351"

Aya and Hinata bowed their thanks and went to take the elevator to the second floor.

"349, 350, 351. Here it is Hinata-sama!" They stopped in front of the door to room 351. Hinata was feeling nervous, and Aya took her hand. Then she knocked on the door with the other hand.

No answer.

She knocked one more time, a bit harder, but still no response.

Aya figured she'd try to open it, even if it was a bit rude. She had knocked, and Hinata-sama looked as if she was about to faint.

Hinata looked at Aya while she was opening the door, not completely ready for what might meet her if she looked in side. When she turned to look though, the sight that met her shocked her even more.

The bed was empty, and the sheets was neatly folded, with no trace of someone staying there whatsoever!

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Hinata went cold, as her vision started to blur. She could hear Aya speaking, but she couldn't make out the words.

When Hinata started to come to her senses, she didn't know where she was. This wasn't the hallway of the hospital… It was one of the big living rooms in their house. She tried to get up, but it only made her dizzy again. Again, like in the hospital! She got up with a start: "Naruto-kun!"

She got up from the couch she was placed on, forgetting that if she did, the room felt like a merry-go-round. She clutched the armrest of the couch to not to fall, and her head cleared up a bit. She needed to find Naruto-kun, and ask him why he was with that girl… But was he even alive? She grabbed her cell phone that someone had placed on a table next to the couch and turned around.

"And where do you think you're going?"

The cold voice of her father washed over her like ice-cold water.

She laced her fingers, holding her arms against her chest.

"Ano, o-otou-sama, I was just going…" her voice failed her as she saw her father's infuriated expression.

"You're not going anywhere! I know where you went today! You went to see that scum, that filthy little rat! I won't allow you to go anywhere today, besides to the school to do your performance!"

It was as if he grew ten foot taller by every word. She felt so small, being crushed by the fury of her father. But she wouldn't let him step on Naruto-kun too. She released the protective grip she had on herself, balling her hands into fists. She looked at her father, determined to stand up to him for once, for Naruto-kun and mostly for herself.

Give me courage, Naruto-kun.

As Naruto's grinning face flashed before her eyes, she took a deep breath.

"H-he's not scum, nor a rat, he's a person who cares, he cherishes what's important in life, unlike you who punish those you're supposed to care for!" She could feel the unspeakable rage of sixteen years gather up inside her. Even if Hinata weren't a loud spoken person, she managed to yell out some of that gathered up frustration and disappointment in her father. Nothing she did was ever good enough, even if she did her very best trying to please him. But she wouldn't take this anymore. Every punishment, every harsh word, and every disappointed look he had given her made her wince. Naruto had made her happy, and he had made her understand she was worth something. She let everything go and yelled out to her father,

"I hate you and I hate everything you have done to me and to Neji and most of all Hanabi, she's just a little girl! I will never forgive you!" then she threw the only thing she had in hand, hitting Hiashi straight in the forehead. Her cell phone went flying about in thousand pieces, and Hiashi just stood there in pure astonishment to what just happened. Hinata grabbed this moment of confusion and ran out the door, leaving a startled Hiashi behind.
