(To Naruto)

Blood pools filled the room, and were soon being drowned by tears.

"Hinata..why?" Naruto asked, his voice cracking as he looked at her pale face.

"..I did..what my heart..told me to do..." Hinata answered simply and kept her grip on her weapon.

"Nghh..." Laku groaned as the steel went deeper and deeper with the slow thrusts Hinata inflicted upon him.

"Even if I die...I would have killed this monster..." Hinata said through tears and her arms started shaking rapidly.

"Hinata! Wait, don't die! I can still save you!" Naruto pleaded and went to grab her.

Hinata pushed once more on the weapon, killing Laku with her final thrust. Then, she was carried out by a frantic Naruto.

"Hinata, stay with me." Naruto begged as he constantly touched her face to keep her up.

"Naruto...I'm so tired.." Hinata mumbled and her eyelids started closing again.

"Hinata! Don't sleep! Look, we're here, see?" Naruto said, showing the girl that she was free, and happily shocking Sakura and Miss Lindy.

"I'm glad.." Hinata murmured happily and her eyes closed. "Thank you..for saving me."

"Hinata?!" Naruto called, shaking her gently. "Hinata?! Come on, Hinata! Don't go!"

"Give me her!" Sakura ordered as she grabbed her medical equipment.

Naruto nodded quickly and set her down, leaving Sakura to care for her. Sakura's eyes instantly widened, showing fear in her face.

"I need to do surgery right away! Miss Lindy, I need to use a private room." Sakura requested, but it sounded more like an order.

"Of course! You can do it in my office, there's plenty of room." Miss Lindy offered and rushed to open the door for her.

"Thank you." Sakura said quickly and entered the room with Hinata in her arms.

"..Hinata..." Naruto whispered softly.

All Naruto could do now, was wait.

"Naruto!" Miss Lindy spouted as she analyzed everybody else's wounds. "Can you help me take care of the others?"

"S-sure!" Naruto stuttered, trying to keep his mind off of Hinata.

"Okay, take care of this group." Miss Lindy exclaimed as she pointed at the group of girls.

"The girls group? Wouldn't I be better with the guy group?" Naruto asked, confused by the choice for him.

"Well...erm.." Miss Lindy stammered, trying to think of an excuse. "Girls like guys, so maybe it will help them to have a guy around them?"

"..I guess that makes sense." Naruto finally accepted and went onto the girls group.

"Finally." Miss Lindy huffed and looked right at the guys. "Jack..please be in this group..please..."

"E-excuse me..but I think I need medical help right away." A man said shyly as he pointed at his badly bruised arm.

"All right...umm..Mr.." Miss Lindy said slowly, waiting for the man to say his name.

"George Buttkiss." George claimed, finishing her sentence.

"Oh..all righty then, Mr. Buttkiss.." Miss Lindy stated slowly as she began to check the man's arm.

Of course, a few people stared at what she was doing, but it was awkward; Mainly because of that one guy..he wouldn't take his eyes off of her. But something about him..seemed familiar.

"Hey, what's wrong J? His friend asked, concerned.

"Oh..it's nothing." J assured and looked back at Miss Lindy.

Those eyes..he knew it was her. It had to be, it just had to be.

He soon got up, startling Miss Lindy just enough to make her stand. Obliviously, she had only thought he needed medical help, badly. She didn't know the shock that would soon take over her.

"Kerri." J called, stunning Miss Lindy right away. (Kerri is Miss Lindy's first name.)

"Huh? Are you..talking to me?" Miss Lindy asked, shocked that someone knew her first name.

"Yes.." J nodded and grabbed her wrist.

"Umm.." Miss Lindy blushed, unsure of what to think.

"Can you please hug me?" J requested, pulling on her wrist to get her up.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not just going to go hug some random person-." Miss Lindy tried apologizing, but was cut off by a sudden hug.

"I..missed you so much, Kerri.." J sniffled as he tightened their embrace.

"How do you know my name?" Kerri asked, confused as the hug continued.

"..Kerri..it's me.." J whispered softly and moved his head closer to whisper in her ear. "Jack." (Jack was Miss Lindy's best friend.)

Her eyes widened in shock. Jack..he's here..right in front of me, and even hugging me.


(To Naruto)

Naruto shuffled his feet nervously as he paced around the room. Hinata's surgery should be done in just a few minutes, at least that's what Sakura said. He looked up at the ceiling, hoping that she would be okay. But, it's Sakura we're talking about, she's probably done and coming here right now.

Suddenly, as if on sync with Naruto's mind, Sakura opened the door and took off her gloves.

"Ah! You're done!?" Naruto asked, rotating his head rapidly to see if Hinata was coming.

"I did finish." Sakura replied simply and looked at the ground.

"Then where's Hinata? Is she resting?" Naruto queried, thinking the surgery was a success.

"Naruto, calm down and listen to me.." Sakura said solemnly and grabbed onto his shoulders. "Hinata...didn't make it..she died during surgery.."


Oh my gosh! J is actually Jack? Finally, a happy, relieved Miss Lindy appears. Too bad the happiness will soon be turned to tears. Hinata has died in surgery, and Sakura has admitted the news to Naruto. How will he take it? And what will he be willing to do to be with her?
