Chapter 10

So here's chapter 10! Sorry it took so long I hope you like it please R&R! This update is just spelling and such plus I forgot a word haha sorry!

***Hinata's POV***

I woke up to a sudden vibration coming from my right pocket. I reached into it and grabbed my phone.

"Hello?" I said sitting up.

"Hinata where are you? Do you realize what time it is?" my father's shrill voice rang through the other line.

I paused for a second remembering that I had a meeting with him this morning at the Huyga complex.

"Yes. I'm sorry Father I'll be there shortly," I said softly.

"I expect you here at 1:00pm sharp," He said harshly.

"Understood." I said before hanging up.

Then I began to look around I had slept in the hospital bed a light blue blanket covering my legs. I tried to move slowly out of his battered arm trying not to wake him but he was already up.

He sat up slowly and looked at me rubbing his eyes groggily.

Then he smiled at me as his vision cleared, "Hey there sleepy head," he said putting his good arm behind his head.

"Naruto how are you feeling?" I said running my fingers over the cuts and bruises on his cheeks.

But he grabbed my hand and gently held it in his own. Then He pulled me into his arms holding me tightly.

"I'm going to be ok don't worry about me Hinata." He said as he kissed my forehead.

I burrowed my head into his chest feeling the warmth radiating off of him. I laid there in his arms never wanting to leave. But a nurse came in and told me she had to change his bandages.

Outside the door I met Sakura and Sauske who had gone home that night and were in fresh clean clothes while I was still dressed in my heels and dress. But I didn't have anywhere to go. I no longer had a place to call my own.

Sakura saw my distress and put a hand on my shoulder.

"Honey why don't I take you to our apartment and you can shower and I'll get you some fresh clothes." She said softly

I nodded my head slightly thinking of how Kiba was hoping he wasn't hurting to badly I loved Kiba I realized as a friend and I wanted to make sure he was ok I pondered going back to the apartment and explaining to him why I had done it and how much I loved Naruto but I knew he would never understand, never forgive me.

It was only 11:00 so I decided to go back to Sakura's for an hour to shower. She got me a short tight purple dress.

I looked at her "Don't you think this is a little tight on me?" I asked innocently

She smiled "Oh will you stop you look hot! And I know Naruto will like it." I looked away my cheeks turning pink.

Sakura giggled, "So what are your plans for today?" she asked

"Well right now I want to go back and see Naruto and then I have to go see my father for a meeting at 1."

"Oh what's that about?" she said cringing.

She knew just how judge mental and strict my father was.

"I don't know." I said shrugging, "He just told me to come to the complex, last night."

Then she sighed and looked at me as I there was more she wanted to say. And she said it softly but just loud enough for me to hear.

"How's Kiba?" she said.

I sighed looking away from her," He hasn't called or anything not that I would expect him to, I feel horrible Sakura although I know I don't love him I still care. I'm wondering if I should go see him see if he's okay."

Sakura half smiled, "You have to face him eventually I mean you have to get your stuff and all."

I sighed knowing she was right, but she dropped the subject and as we walked to her car we chattered about her wedding and she showed me the pictures of the bridesmaid's dresses they were really pretty, they were short and strapless a baby blue color.

When we arrived I went up to his room and knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in!" I heard him say.

His voice sounded much better not as raspy as last night.

I peeked my head in and smiled when I saw his bright smiling face.

"Hey there you are!" he said happily.

But as I walked closer his mouth dropped open. I looked myself up and down wondering what was wrong with me did I have a stain on me? Was my dress ripped? I looked at him puzzled.

"What's wrong?" I asked concerned as to what it could possibly be.

His cheeks turned a bright red "Umm… Well it's just that… That dress looks…really… good on you…" he said his eyes following the curves of my body.

"T-Thank you N-Naruto." I said feeling a little embarrassed.

He grabbed my arm and pulled me into his arms, "You're so cute you know that?"

I giggled and He pulled me in to a Kiss his lips moving passionately against mine he wrapped an arm around my waist. He was mine and only mine.

"How are you feeling?" I said softly

"A little better now that you're here," he said putting a hand behind his head.

But I looked at him with regret wishing I hadn't let him leave the party. I knew from the minuet I saw him that this was no random mugging whoever did this wanted to hurt him wanted to beat him up badly they were trying to prove a point.

"Hey" he said "Don't worry about me okay I'll be out of here in no time. But in the meantime here's a key to my apartment I know he kicked you out so I want you to live with me."

He looked down not wanting to meet my eyes as though he was afraid I'd say no.

But I pulled him into a tight hug his muscular body holding me tightly.

He placed the key in my hand and then a nurse arrived with his lunch.

"Hey I've got to get going I have a meeting with my father at 1."

He looked at me puzzled, "What's that about?"

I sighed "I'm not sure he just asked me to come last night."

"I also need to tell him what happened before he hears it from someone else. " I said it knowing

He looked at me deeply be careful okay?

"Why would you say that?" I said looking at him.

He looked away "Well you know your dad hates me and all."

There was something he wasn't telling me something he was hiding. But the nurse told me to leave so I kissed him softly on the cheek before going on my way.

I walked down the path to the complex and soon it was in view.

Its familiar towering shadow looming right in front of me I came here seldom for it brought back bad memories for me.

I remembered the days when I was a little girl I was never good enough for my father's expectations. I moved out the first chance I got. The Huyga family had no need for me anymore. For my younger sister Hanabi would take over the family business in my place and poor weak me would go and live the average life.

I walked in the giant metal gates and then into the main house. I peeked into the family room and found my father sitting in a chair while Neji sat on the couch.

He looked at me sternly "There you are we've been waiting for you." He said

"I'm deeply sorry," I said before taking a light bow and sitting beside Neji.

"Hinata I have called you here today because Neji bought a certain matter to my attention something that he saw last night..." my father said.

My heartbeat quickened as millions of thoughts passed through my mind at once.

What had Neji seen? He couldn't be talking about... My thoughts trailed off no; no it can't be I reassured myself.

"Hinata," my father said, "He saw you talking to the Uzumaki boy you know the one you dated back in high school?"

I froze my eyes dead set on the ground.

"Is this true Hinata?" he said coldly

There was nothing I could do nothing I could say, I sat there motionless.

He sighed deeply "Damnit Hinata! Can you ever do anything right?" he said banging his fist angrily against the small coffee table to his left.

I cringed these were words that I always knew we're true but he had never expressed them to me.

He kept going, "What did you do with him?" he sneered.

"Did you sleep with him?" he yelled.

I sat there still unable to move the pain weighing on me like the weight of the world was on my shoulders.

He sat up now I looked at his legs afraid to see his face. I knew his expression it was horrified, disgusted.

He banged the table once more. "You better tell Kiba, you two are-"

I felt his eyes move to my left hand, he saw the vacant spot where my ring once was.

"The only good thing you had Hinata the only good thing, " he screamed.

"That Uzumaki boy isn't good for you that's why I made you dump him back then,"

He yelled.

He sighed "I suggest you try to make up with Kiba, because If you continue to see the Uzumaki boy things will happen to him next time he might not be so lucky." He said coldly as if he were slapping me in the face.

At this I stood up unable to sit quietly any longer.

"It was you!" I said the anger boiling up inside me you did that to him!

My father smirked, "Yes, Neji and a few of the others and he deserved it."

I looked at Neji but he wouldn't meet my eyes. Then I turned back to my father.

"How could you he's not dirt he's a human being and I won't let you-"I screamed at him, but he cut me off.

"If you want to keep him safe you better go find Kiba and pray he takes you back." My father sneered at me before storming out of the room.

I ran out the warm tears already beginning to fall from my face I ran to Naruto's apartment and crawled into his bed I laid there crying I couldn't do this I wouldn't do this. I loved him so much I couldn't let them hurt him i knew I'd I stayed with him they would kill him I had to protect him no matter what but I couldn't leave him he was my destiny the one thing I knew was true about myself he had brought the light back into my eyes, I had never been this strong, he was where I belonged but I felt so defenseless how could I do this how could I save us?
