To all readers,I'm sorry for making you to wait. I have just updated chapter 9. It's quite long or whatever but happy reading. =)
CHAPTER 9 RELATIONSHIP APPROVAL
In the last chapter,Naruto was unconscious and got down suddenly. Hinata who saw that immediately became panic.
"NARUTO-KUN?NARUTO-KUN?" Hinata shouted
Hinata's trying to wake him and call him. But it didn't work. Then Hinata noticed his arm and his body. His arm was total injured badly while his body was covered into scratch,wound and every injury. Hinata thought that those scars must be because the fight with the Kyuubi. Hinata quickly took Naruto to the Hospital. Then the doctor and the nurse came and brought Naruto to the Emergency room.
"Doctor,Please help and save Naruto-kun." Hinata begged him.
"Don't worry,We'll try our best." Doctor said to her
Then they went to the Emergency room to check what's happened to Naruto. Hinata had been waiting for hours. She kept praying about Naruto,hoping that he would be saved. She really couldn't afford to lose Naruto. Finally,the doctor came out from the room. Hinata quickly approach the doctor and asked him.
"Doctor,How's Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked.
"Don't worry,He'll be fine but his wounds were fatal enough to make him rest for 2 days. I suggest you not to disturb him,but I'll allow you to visit him because I see you're worried about him." Doctor said.
"Arigato…" Hinata got relieved.
"You may come in if you want.."
"Hai.."
The doctor then left. Hinata went to the room. She saw Naruto was there sleeping peacefully and smiling face. Hinata sat down,holding his hand. Hinata then dropped her tears. She said.
"Naruto-kun,please don't do that anymore,I couldn't lose you. I love you. You should have told me about your wounds." Hinata cried.
Hinata then wiped out her tears and saw the clock. It's evening already and that should be the time she must go home and from the school. To avoid suspicious,Hinata quickly went home but before that she thought.
"I'll come back again Naruto-kun,I promise."
Hinata then left the hospital and went straight home. While walking on the street,One of Her friends saw her and approach her. It was Sakura.
"Hinata,where were you this morning?I didn't see you this school,and you're taking a bag. Where were you?" Sakura asked her.
"Sa..Sakura. Um,ano.. Please keep this a promise,okay?" Hinata asked.
"Okay,no problem."
"I was with Naruto-kun at the forest,he was collapsed and fell down. I took him to the hospital and waited for hours. That's why I didn't come to school. Please keep this secret from anyone. Just tell anyone that I'm sick." Hinata told her.
It's impossible for Hinata to tell her that she was there helping Naruto in his training to control the Kyuubi. Because All of them would stay away from Naruto. There's no way they would accept Naruto despite the Kyuubi.
"Okay,Hinata. But I'm surprised that you really cared to Naruto. He he he. Well,even though what he did yesterday was unbelievable. I wish Sasuke also like him" Sakura admired Naruto for his power.
"Yes…. Sorry I gotta go. See you Sakura." Hinata rushed off leaving Sakura without saying any word.
Hinata then went home immediately and hoped that her father didn't suspicious.
"Tadaima." Hinata said.
Luckily,no one suspicious on Hinata's absent this morning. So then Hinata relieved and quickly went straight to the bedroom. She did what she must do before visiting Naruto again.
(Meanwhile in the Hospital)
Naruto woke up and saw that his surrounding had changed. He wore a patient's Uniform. He didn't remember anything what had happened. All he could remember that he said to Hinata that he's going to get something to eat. After that,everything's fuzzy. He thought that Hinata must be the one who took him to the Hospital. Naruto then said in his heart.
"Arigato,Hinata-hime…"
Naruto then saw his arm and his body. It's covered by scratch,wound and scars. He thought that it must be the consequences for fighting the Kyuubi. He went sleep again to recuperate.
(Back to Hyuuga Mansion,Night time)
Hinata had done finishing what she must do. But it's unlucky that it's nighttime already. Hinata wasn't allowed to go anywhere after night. She then thought about visiting Naruto the next day after school. She then ate dinner and quickly went off to bed. She also didn't forget to pray for Naruto's safety. After that,she's asleep.
(Second day of Naruto's holiday)
Hinata woke up and said good morning to god and Naruto. She went take a bath and had her breakfast. While having her breakfast. Hiashi asked Hinata something. Neji and Hanabi also heard that.
"Hinata,when's Naruto going to come here?" Hiashi asked.
"Sooner,Tou-san. Perhaps two more days." Hinata said.
Hanabi who heard that suddenly asked her father.
"Tou-san,why are you asking Naruto to come?" Hanabi asked.
"You'll see it by yourself Hanabi."
Then they ate their breakfast again with silent atmosphere. Hinata then went to school alone again. This time,she really went to school because she couldn't absent for twice or everyone would get suspicious more. In the class,Hinata's friend didn't see her suspicious except Sakura who had known where Hinata was yesterday. The class then started. Hinata then at class couldn't stop praying for Naruto. Meanwhile,In the class,Somebody gossiped about Naruto. She heard that unintentionally.
"Hey,I heard that the strange kid is in the hospital right now."
"What?You serious?But why?I thought he had a mysterious power that no one could beat him up."
"Don't know,but that's the way he should get. He he he."
Hinata heard that suddenly got angry. She didn't believe that they would say anything bad to Naruto. She also confused how they knew Naruto's whereabout. The only one knew was Sakura. But it's impossible for Sakura to betray her because she and Hinata had been friends for a long time. They were also close friend. Hinata then after the break asked Sakura.
"Sakura,may I ask you something?" Hinata asked.
"Yes?What's wrong Hinata?"
"May I know if you told them about Naruto's whereabout?"
"No,Hinata. I didn't tell anyone as you asked me. Well,except Sasuke. Because Sasuke was his friend after all."
"I see. It's okay Sakura. Sorry for suspecting you unnecessary." Hinata seemed in guilty.
"It's okay."
"An…ano… Why don't we go visit him after school with Sasuke?" Hinata offered.
"Sure,No problem. I'll tell Sasuke about it." Sakura said.
"Okay,see you later in the School's gate." She said.
Hinata and Sakura then went back to the class after the break. They studied in the class. Hinata also heard another gossip about Naruto. It's gotten worsened than before. She couldn't stand it anymore. Until….
"DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT TO NARUTO-KUN ANYMORE. HE IS NOT STRANGE AND THE ACCURSED CHILD. HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT WHEN HE'S YOUR CLASSMATE?" Hinata approached and shouted at them.
Everyone in the class was shocked to see Hinata's reaction including Kakashi the teacher.
"Hinata,what are you doing in the class shouting like that?" He asked.
Hinata then finally regained her emotion stabilize. Her face is in deep red. She quickly went to her seat again and said to him.
"Go..gomen…."
"*sigh… Well then,let's continue the lesson." Kakashi started teaching again.
After Hinata's warning,Nobody had dared to say something to Naruto anymore until School's over. After school,Hinata had waited in the gate waiting for Sakura and Sasuke. Then they came.
"Sorry,we're late. Let's go then."
"Ha..hai.."
Together they went to the hospital to visit Naruto together.
(In the hospital)
Naruto woke up form his longsleep. He was hungry and totally bored. Then suddenly,Hinata,Sasuke and Sakura came and visited Naruto. Naruto was shocked.
"Dobe,we're visiting you. How're your feeling?" Sasuke said.
"Teme,I'm fine. You could worry about me. He he he." Naruto laughed.
"Hinata-hime,I missed you so much." Naruto said to her.
"I… I missed you too." Hinata became shy.
Sasuke and Sakura got surprised to know that they had been dating all the time. Sakura and Sasuke teased both of them and chatted until evening. Sakura also told Hinata's act earlier in the class. Hinata got ashamed about it. Then,after that they asked the permission to go home.
"Naruto,we're going home now. We'll visit you again."
"Dobe,Take care. Make sure you don't fall in the bed." He teased him.
"Don't worry,Teme. Hahaha."
Sasuke and Sakura then went home leaving Hinata and Naruto there. Hinata was feeding Naruto with apple until finished. They both seem happy because this is way too romantic. Until then,Naruto asked her.
"Hinata-hime,weren't you going home?"
"Iie… Naruto-kun. I want to stay here beside you longer.."
"Thank you.. By the way,is it true that you were protecting about me in the class?"
"Ha…hai."
"But why?Just let them say anything bad about me. Nobody would like the demon child. I don't care at all. There's no need for you to do that because the gossip will keep spreading further."
Hinata heard that seem crying. She said back to Naruto.
"Naruto-kun…. I can't let them say anything bad to you. If they talked that to you,that means they also talked bad to me. I can't stand it. Even though you had Kyuubi inside. But they should see your kindness and see that you are not bad after all."
"….. Hinata-hime….."
Naruto then grabbed her hand. He said to her.
"Arigato…."
Both of them spent time long enough. It's almost time for Hinata to go home. But before that,Hinata didn't forget to say to Naruto about her father 's request.
"Naruto-kun,can you come to my house the day after tomorrow?My father wants to see your power. After that,he will approve our relationship."
"Sure,Hinata-hime. Hi hi hi." Naruto smiled.
Hinata then smiled too. She kissed Naruto's forehead and then kissed him with passionate. Hinata then went home. Naruto was really happy about that. He must come to Hinata's house two days later. So he tried not to do anything. He just took a rest. A day passed by for a couple with a happy mood.
(Third day of Naruto's holiday)
This day also didn't special. Hinata as usual visited Naruto again and talked about anything… Then after nighttime. Doctor allowed him to go home. Naruto then went straight home immediately. He missed his apartment. He quickly went to his bedroom to take a final rest to his recovery because the day after is the day that Naruto would come to Hinata's house. So did Hinata. Both of them said goodnight at the same time and then went asleep.
(The next day,after school)
Naruto and Hinata went home together. They quickly went to Hyuuga mansion to meet Hiashi. They arrived.
"Tadaima." Hinata said.
Hiashi then came and saw Naruto. Naruto was scared a little bit when he saw her father. Hiashi then asked Naruto to show him his power. Naruto agreed then Hiashi asked him to go to the house field. There,had been provided a steel box. Neji and Hanabi also saw Naruto. Hiashi then said to Naruto.
"Naruto,there's a steel box. I want you to destroy it by using your power. Now do it." Hiashi said.
"No problem." Naruto's confident
Hinata,Hiashi,Neji and Hanabi sat down and watched Naruto's action. Naruto then prepared his jutsu.
"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU." Naruto shouted.
It was shocked to Hanabi and Hiashi to see that. Naruto then formed a usual technique seal,Rasengan. He then just charged at the box and then the box was destroyed badly. Hiashi was surprised. After the demonstration,He approached Naruto and touched his shoulder. He smiled to him and said.
"Naruto,I believe you will take good care of Hinata. Please protect her."
"Will do." He smiled.
Then Hiashi left. Hinata was totally happy and she hugged Naruto instanteniously. Naruto hugged her back. Neji and Hanabi were happy to see the couple. Neji believed in Naruto. While Hanabi,maybe she didn't know Naruto well. But if her father agreed him then she also believed in Naruto. Neji then leave the couple. Hinata and Naruto couldn't stop hugging each other. Together,they will always be one until the rest of their life.
