Confessions of a Kunoichi in Love
chapter IIX: In bed, Lovesick..
Hinata woke up in a white-walled hospital room with only one thought..." NARUTO-KUN?" The door knob slowly turned. "Huh! Naruto-kun!" The door gently opened and in came her two teammates, Kiba and Shino. She made a dissapointed face but then remembered he was probably in another room just as she was. But worry still gleamed in her eyes like two little, bright stars. "Hinata, are you alright?" Shino had been worried about her ever since the morning. " Oh, Shino-kun, yes I'm okay.. Where is Naruto! Is he okay!" Kiba smiled, "Yeah, he's fine. And it's all thanks to you, if you hadnt brought him here so fast this morning!" Hinata blushed, but then gave her teammate a confused look.
" This morning? W-What time is it now?" Kiba shot the same confused look back, " Hinata, you've been asleep for at least half the day! It's four-a-clock!" She gasped and thought about what Neji would say to her when she got home so late.
A nurse came into Hinata's room. " You're fine now, Miss Hyuuga. You can go home if you like." Hinata smiled at the kind nurse, ending her good-bye and thanks with a bow and walked out the door. She saw Sakura sitting down on a waiting room bench. " Hinata! You're okay!" She gave Hinata a glomp of relief. " Y-yes, I'm alright, thank you for coming to see me, but I'm worried about...-" Sakura could tell her shy friend didnt want to say his name. " Dont worry, Naruto's just fine, come on, I'll bring ya to his room!" The two ninja walked up two flights of stairs to the emergency rooms. A gentle opening of room 393 and the sight of a restless, but sleeping, Naruto was found. Hinata rushed to Naruto as if he was her own child, so worried that he was badly hurt. "The doctors told me that Naruto said it was just an attack from the demon inside him. He was half-asleep when he said it, but he kept on repeating it to make sure that everyone knew. But there was no sign of the wound being made from the inside, It would be more logical to say that the bruise was made from the outside, judging by the observations made." Hinata ran her fingers through Naruto's messy, blonde hair and he made a small whimper. Again, Hinata felt like crying. " I uh, better be getting home now, or Neji will get e-even angrier than he probably is already. Thank you again, Sakura."
Hinata walked home alone wondering where Neji was. He never usually let her out of his sight. But it's not like it was a bad thing, at least he wouldnt be there to question her about why she was gone for so long. Anyway, there was no reason to worry, Neji was probably just on a mission with Tenten and Lee. But again, the ' plun-plun' of Hinata's zori was the only sound heard in the quiet of Konoha. Meaning Naruto was now on Hinata's mind. She was having a flashback...
FFFFFLLLLLLAAAAAAASSSSSSSSHHHHHHHBBBBBBBAAAAAAAACCCCCCCK!
A quiet, but persistent cry was heard from a hurt Hinata as she fell off her tricycle. " Here, let me help you" A small blonde boy looking about the same age sat down next to her and got a band-aid out of his pocket. He then gently placed it on Hinata's scraped knee. " Y-You are very good at that" Hinata smiled and wiped away an on-coming tear. "I'm always needing a band-aid so I'm used to putting them on, But you're pretty brave, getting a scrape like that, I woulda probly throwed a fit!" Hinata laughed with the little boy. She started tearing up again, " Hey, whats'a matter? Does it still hurt?" Hinata then made a couple short sniffles and wiped away yet another set of tears. " Y-you are so nice. But, I'm not really THAT brave." She sniffed again. " Yes you are! I know you're brave! Some people just find their strength in diff'rent ways, thats all! Cuz, I know you got bravery! And I'm never wrong! Believe it! hhhmmmm...I like the sound'a that..Believe it! Hahahaha!" Hinata smiled again. "Oh, by the way, my name's Naruto, and happy birthday!"
EEEEEEENNNDDDDDDFFFFFLLLLLAAAAAASSSHHHHHBBBBBBAAAAAAACCCCK!
By the end of hinata's happy memory, she found herself walking back towards the hospital. She wanted to be with him, with Naruto. She didnt care how bad her father or cousin would punish her, she just wanted, no, needed to be with him. The door opened and she asked the front desk if she could visit room 393 emergency. Her reply was that the urgent care rooms were to be open only to family members if you were not accompanied by an adult. Hinata made a quick decision to fib that she was a close cousin to Naruto and was given a pass to be let in. At first the lady at the front desk didnt believe her, but Hinata forced a couple fake tears and pleaded them to let her see her "poor cousin". Maybe her curse of having easy tears was a blessing in disguise. ( by the way, the reason Sakura and Hinata got to see Naruto last time was because Kakashi-sensei was with them. Just thought you might wanna know)
Whn she got in the room, the clock read 5:45. It was a good, early time so that if Naruto just happened to wake up, Hinata would be there. A cool whisp of wind seeped through the crack of the window where Hinata had set a fresh vase of flowers. She had bought them forNaruto before she made her way to the room, and thought they added some nice color and life to the bare room. It felt good to be in the same room as him, at least now she knew how he was and that he was safe. And it was peaceful, peaceful enough for two shinobi to fall into a deep sleep. One in a bed and one in a chair, both being taken away into dreams, Lovesick...

Hinata: Aaawww, whats the matter k-san?
Naruto: Hey is something wrong?
kacey9tails: My ex-boyfriend called me today and said that he's confused about why I broke up with him!

Sakura: Whatever makes you happy is the right way to go! Right Sasuke! coughyou-love-mecough
Sasuke: UUUghhh, I think this is a girl thing, Lets go Naruto, and leave these two to talk with k-san.

Hinata: Please, k-san! Dont cry, if you cry, then-then I'll start crying!
kacey9tails: I dont know what to do! what should I say, if I say anything!
Sakura: Do the same thing I do with Lee, just avoid him.
Hinata: Yeah sure, that works for a while, but boys can be just as persistent as girls can.
Sakura: yeah, I guess you're right. Just tell him you dont wanna be with him anymore, that it's over.
Hinata: But do it gently, tell him maybe you're just not ready for a relationship yet.
kacey9tails: I've already tried that, and he just told me to let him know when I was ready! Puh! pouts
Inner Sakura: Kick him to the curb! Cut his ass out of the picture! Leave him in the rain!
