Lurking in the shadow of the hospital as a ghost, haunting the petite Hyuuga and observed her smiling interactions with her visitors; he didn't bother considering how he was spending his time at the moment or even questioned why he was stalking her. She knew he hadn't left her side yet she failed to alert anyone of his presence and how he hovered around her, a monster. The little deer wasn't skittish at all.
It would've been easier to just take her and go.
He wasn't sure why he hadn't.
None, though, of her visitors sensed that anything was off in the slightest. They didn't have concern in their eyes as they greeted her and the affection for her clear in their voices, whether they spoke softly or screamed his damn ears off. Most of them reached to touch her, grabbing her hands and burying her deep into their embrace. They gave her small gifts such as flowers, sweets or pieces of paper with meaningful words. Her visitors shared her joy in not being blind and congratulated her in her ability to still be a Hyuuga – to still be a ninja.
A blind Hyuuga wasn't a Hyuuga.
A blind ninja was a useless one.
The mongrel was the only one to sense him, sniffing at the bed and scratched helplessly at his master. It growled and upturned its sharp teeth in his direction however none paid head to his warnings. They were all too consumed in their relief and her very presence. It quickly realized they wouldn't listen to his warnings, whimpering as he laid his head on her stomach and stared with wide eyes. She smiled knowingly, patting his head for possibly the last time.
He was tempted to just leave…
Yet waited for her to finish her invisible goodbyes.
