My head was pounding like some one had taken to me with a hammer. It throbbed badly, but I pushed it aside as I tried to open my eyes. Dark strands of my hair covered my vision, but with a quick sweep of my hand, it was clear again.

The one thing that wasn't clear though, was that I had no idea where I was.

I sat up so quickly that blood seemed to rush to my skull, making the throbbing worse. Groaning, I tried to push the pain away taking in all of my surrounding. Wooden floors, pale walls with pictures of martial artist all over them. Looking down I realized I was sleeping on a futon mattress. I definitely wasn't at Neji's anymore...

Suddenly, I snapped. I remembered trying to fight Neji, he told me he couldn't keep me safe anymore. We fought. He won. He knocked me out with the simple swipe of his back hand. A part of me began to grow in ultimate fury. All the years I had trained with my sister, and yet I could still not stand up to my own cousin. My hands began to shake as I stared at them, my finger nails full of dirt.

I whimpered, my head falling back onto the pillows, only to have my memory jolted yet again. My dream. That horrible dream. No, it wasn't a dream, it felt far too real. One thing was for certain though, I knew who had killed my father and my sister. I knew why he was out to do it and I knew he was going to come after me. It was Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki was helping him.

My emotions were beginning to take over. I was starting to feel betrayed.

How could someone like Officer Uzumaki get away with something like this? He was helping my cousin, he attended my sisters funeral. That bastard wasn't just fooling me, he was fooling Inoichi Yamanaka, the best interrogator around; he was also fooling Neji, one of the best detectives of his generation, and worst of all; he was fooling me.

I couldn't keep my anger under control. It was fueling me, hitting my heart like an arrow piercing straight through it. My eyes began to water and soon I found myself whimpering and crying. He wasn't the man that I thought he was. This wasn't the Naruto that I grew up with when I was young. He was out to kill me, he was out to kill my entire family. Rolling over to my side, I hugged myself, feeling the only warmth that I could gather. I was on my own now, I had no one here to help me. Neji was gone, he believed he could not protect me anymore, when really I should have stayed with him the entire time. It was what Sasuke wanted, he wanted us separated. And now we are.

Knock, Knock

My heart froze.

Struggling to pull myself to up, a took a quick glimpse towards the door. For some reason I was half expecting a woman dressed in a nurses uniform to come and lather me with drugs. But that was not what I saw. Standing at my door way with a tray full of breakfast foods, was Rock Lee; dressed in his usual green spandex. I gulped in confusion and curiosity.

"Miss Hinata!" Lee smiled, bouncing towards me. I sat up as he gracefully placed the tray of food down on my lap. "I am so glad to see you again! It has been far too long. Now-" Lee broke off, his smile suddenly dissapearing.

"It's good to see you too, Lee," I tried to smile, but he knelt on his knees staring at me intently.

"Miss Hinata," Lee said sadly. "I know you are not happy here, but please do not cry. The only way to get better is to smile, everyone knows that."

I quickly wiped my tears away. I-I'm so sorry Lee. I had no idea where I was, I-I..."

Lee chuckled lightly. "I understand. This is why I have made you breakfast! Please, eat. You will feel much better."

Taking in a deep breath, I smile at Lee as much as I can. If I knew something, I knew one thing was for certain. If Neji was not here, Lee was sure to protect me.

It was another couple of nights with that horrible dream. I woke up tired, restless and upset. It was starting to show in my eyes. The dark rings that began to form started to worry Lee, he tried all his best to be able to help me.

"How long has this been going on?" He asked, passing me a cup of green tea.

"Two, three nights max," I replied. "I don't know how to control it, I should be able to control it, right?"

Lee watched me for a second, his thick brows furrowed in concentration. "Not if it is genjustsu."

My fingers twitched. "B-but I thought that was only a myth. Only the elders can use it."

"It would'nt surprise me if the Uchiha has figured out a way to tap into his own type of genjustsu. If it is the same dream you are having Hinata, and he is saying the same things to you, he may be using it to deteriorate your health."

"You mean..." I trailed off.

Lee nodded. "Yes. He is weakening you through your sleep. Making you an easier target."

I gulped, feeling my soul leave my body. Even in my sleep I was an easy target for him. If Naruto could not get me in this world, then Sasuke was determined to get me from my own sleep. My hand tightened around my tea cup.

Lee watched me, his expression dropping as he watched the pain on my face. He knew he couldn't do anything to help me, he wasn't the kind of guy that was able to help anyone's mental state of mind. Lee was more of a physical help kind of man, like a chiropractor.

"I'm doomed," I mumbled. "I'm actually doomed." Lee gasped a little, leaning his head to the side. "I'm, sorry," I muttered. "But its true. If they are able to get me in both state of minds, I am doomed. No one can help me."

"You do not know that yet, Miss Hinata" Lee growled. "I understand your frustration, but you can not just give up."

I frowned. "I'm not giving up-"

"You are," he interrrupted. "You may not know it but I see the look in your eyes. I can see beyond the dark rings that frame your Hyuuga gift. I may act like an idiot Miss Hinata, but I am no fool."

Looking to the ground, I could feel my insides tightening. Maybe I was giving up, but so what if I was? I couldn't do anything. If Neji was unable to stop him, then who was?

"We will find someone," Lee spoke, his hand resting on mine. "And if we do not, then I will put my own life on the line to protect yours."

Shocked, I looked up to him, my eyes wide with concern. "No, you can't."

Lee smiled, his thumb held out, pointing up. "I have made a promise to Neji, and I intend on keeping it."

My insides began to tighten even more, my eyes beginning to brim with tears. "B-but," I managed to stutter. "Y-you're going to die!" I cried. "There is no one that can help me, Lee. No one!"

"I can help."

I froze instantly, and I could feel Lees hand tightening around my own. This was going to be it, this was going to be the moment that I left this world. I had done all that I could to help try and bring my sisters killer to justice, but all it ended up in was me becoming the hunted. If I was going to die here, I was going to do it fighting. I couldn't let Lee die for me, I couldn't bare to see any more blood shed. This was my time. I was going to fight.

"Byakugan!"
