Chapter 8It's not your fault
Lee's POV
I opened my eyes slowly; the first thing I saw was a blinding light. I tried to focus my eyesight. Then I heard a soothing voice next to me.
"Lee? How are you feeling?"
I turned my head and saw Sakura sitting next to me. She was holding my hands, wait-holding my hands? I checked again to see if I was hallucinating, OMG! Sakura was holding my hands! I felt the blood rush to my face. I was burning! She must have seen me blushing because she smiled at me.
"Sakura your beauty is enough to make any ill man return to his rightful youth" Lee said.
"Thanks Lee. How are feeling?"
"My whole body is sore" Lee confessed
"Well Sasuke did beat you up pretty badly, I just don't want to think what would have happened if I didn't stop him from hurting you." Sakura's smile dropped and she had a sad expression on her face.
"Sakura why did he do that?" Lee apparently was forgetting the part where Sasuke insulted and accused Sakura of cheating on him.
"He thought I was cheating on him with you," Sakura said feeling even sadder.
"Why would he think that?"
"I think he assumed it when I was curing your wrist."
She then started to cry in front of me. I didn't know what to do.
"I'm so sorry Lee! This is all because of me; Sasuke did this to you because he was driven by jealousy! And to just see you like this makes me feel even worse. Its all my fault!" Sakura sobbed.
I just watched her in awe; she took the blame for what her boyfriend just did?
"Sakura it's not your fault this happened, Sasuke would have done this sooner or later. Besides don't worry about me THE POWER OF YOUTH WILL HELP ME!" Lee said punching the air.
Sakura started to laugh and said that she was glad to see that my personality hasn't been damage as well. A nurse came in to tell Sakura that I needed to rest, she looked at me one last time and wished me to get well soon, and then she left.
Chouji's POV
'I know this smell. BBQ? No, it's PORK! OMG! IT PORK AND BBQ!'
Chouji's mouth was watering and he snapped his eyes open to see a smirking Ino.
"Took you long enough to wake up" Ino smirk became bigger.
"I thought I smelled chips" Chouji replied. "I guess I was hallucinating."
"Actually you weren't" Ino took out a bag of chips from her purse.
I've never felt so happy. When I touched the bag I started to cry on my mind.
"Oh my precious" Chouji started to munch down his chips. "Thanks Ino"
"It's the least I can do after what that idiot of a boyfriend I had did to you."
"Had?"
"You don't expect me to still be with him after what he did to you! Not only that he insulted me in PUBLIC! And I've come to realize that he doesn't trust as I thought he did. "
Ino stood there looking at the floor for a few minutes, and then she sat back in to her chair and looked at me with sadness written all over her face.
"Chouji I don't know what to say to you! I'm so sorry for all this! Look at you, you're in a hospital because of me."
"Look Ino what happened doesn't have anything to do with you. If Shikamaru had been his normal lazy self then nothing of this would have ever happened. Its not your fault"
I smiled at my teammate to let her know that everything was going to be ok. She felt better and took another bag of chips from her purse. She gave it to me since also and said that I should rest. I just smiled again.
'Shikamaru sure is dumb to have acted that way about Ino. Now he just lost the love of his life.'
Shino's POV
I felt very weird, maybe because I couldn't feel my head due to a splitting headache. I felt someone by me and I opened my eyes to see who was it. It was Tenten and she gasped when I opened my eyes.
'Why did she gasped?'
Then it came down on me. My sunglasses were in the table next to me. OMFGSH! I WASN'T WEARING MY SUNGLASSES!
"You have the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen!" Tenten said
"You didn't see anything," Shino said while waving his arms
"Can I at least take a picture with my cell?" Tenten immediately took out her phone.
"Fine"
Tenten squealed and took four different pictures. I was getting annoyed so I told her to please stop.
"Sorry it's just that your eyes are so pretty"
"Were am I?" I asked while putting on my sunglasses
"You're in a hospital" Tenten's smile disappeared and she looked at me straight in the eyes.
"Shino, I'm sorry that Neji beated you up. I know that this is all my fault, it may not seem like it but I know it is."
"Look Tenten I really don't think you're the one to blame. Neji should be the one who should be sorry for what he's doing to you. Don't try to hide it Tenten I know you're in pain."
"Hmph! He'd better be sorry!" Tenten was a little more animated.
"Thanks Shino" She smiled at me "Well I guess I should leave you now, I found you in a bad condition so I guess that you need to rest."
Tenten got up waved and walked out of the room. I went back to sleep again, and this time I made sure that my sunglasses were covering my eyes.
Kiba's POV
I cannot believe that I'm in a hospital, in a robe that leaves my ass hanging, and that I feel as if I had recently taken a bath. Hinata was next to me petting Akamaru; she looked really disturbed.
"What's wrong Hinata?" I asked
Then all of a sudden she started to cry in front of me. I was shocked. I've never seen Hinata cry; normally I would have seen her faint and stutter but that was way before Naruto gave her the confidence she needed to overcome her shyness. But cry?
"K-Kiba! I-I'm s-soo s-s-soorry! Its m-my f-f-fault that N-Naruto hurt y-y-you this b-bad!" Hinata was sobbing uncontrollably now.
"Hinata you don't need to feel sorry for anything. It was all Naruto's fault. He misunderstood what I said about everyone. And I bet all the guys also misunderstood everything about your friends, cause I know they went to look for them. The thing is that you don't need to be this upset. I'll be all right." I smiled a sympathetic smile to her.
"Thank you Kiba" Hinata said smiling back.
After a few minutes of talking and a few cries of Hinata, she decided that it was time that she should leave me to rest. She made me promise to not make a mess when its bath time. I still cannot believe that I accepted. But with Akamaru at my side I forgot all about it and fell asleep.
There it is! I said in one of my replies that I was going to update the chap before this weekend, and that was the plan but then with my job and homework and studying for tests I didn't have time. I'll probably be updating next week. I'm so sorry! Please review! Hope you liked this chapter.
