Thank you reading the story and reviewing, I am trying really hard to ensure that my English does not offend, so once again I need a beta.

Chapter 12: Hinata and Me.

Hinata had been at Sasuke's, she had fallen asleep on his bed and she had eaten lunch there with him. But at the moment she was not there. This was something that Sasuke was rejoicing over. She made him uneasy and paranoid. Now that she was gone he had the urge to say yahoo. Only that was something that Hinata's annoying teammate would say, so instead he only smiled.

He went into his bedroom and stared at the bed, she had been there. He nearly tore the covers off the bed in his haste to remove her from his room. The blankets would need to be washed, they smelled like her. Some sort of soft scent, he hated it and whatever that smells name was.

He glared at the sheets; he didn't know what Shino or Kiba saw in her. She liked Naruto for gods' sake, which proved right then and there that she was not right in the head. As he stood there attempting to the burn the offending blankets with his glare, he was hit with a realization that he was alone and that silence could be loud.

Hinata on the other hand was not rejoicing. It was not because she had left Sasuke's, she was happy that she did. Sasuke made her uneasy and paranoid. She was not rejoicing because she knew that she would have to face what she had done. Her entire life she had never done anything bad, she had been a well behaved child. She had been a too well behaved child. So she was very unsure what to expect, sure she had seen Kiba get in trouble enough times to know that it was not going to be pretty.

Hinata sat there at Kurenai's, just sitting on the sofa, and her bloodied clothes in the laundry. Sasuke's clothes folded nicely in one of her drawers; she had changed the moment she arrived home.

Hinata just needed time to think to compose her self. She couldn't do that with Sasuke. They didn't talk just sat there, then she had fallen asleep to awake to the smell of food, rice gruel, she had almost smiled. Shino made that for her after she had been drinking, he had been weird, and she figured he had a hang over too.

She looked at the pillow beside her, "I need a hug" was written on the pillow in red. She reached for the pillow and hugged it.

Shino found her like that when he opened the door to the apartment. "Everyone is looking for you."

She said nothing to him. Just merely continued hugging the pillow, he moved to sit beside her on the couch. Luckily for her Kiba had made the bed.

"I hurt them." she told him. Her voice slightly muffled by the pillow. Shino said nothing, he was to busy debating whether he should tell her about Kiba. She had the right to know but he really didn't want her to spend her time tending to Kiba, and she would. She always put their well being first, even above her own. That was what separated her from everyone else, when she did something for someone she didn't expect anything in return, she was a nice person.

"You defended yourself." He replied.

She only hugged the pillow tighter; it was her comfort and her protection. As long as she held on to that pillow, she could pretend that everything was alright.

"I'm going to apologize to them." She whispered.

Yes, Hinata said that she would have to apologize to Ino, Sakura and Tenten. Then again it was Hinata. She even apologized to the perverted white haired man after she slammed her palm into his nose; she had a habit of breaking noses. The white haired pervert had been watching her bathe. After that Hinata always bathed with Akamaru, who told Kiba what he had seen. There where a lot of violated pillows in Kiba's room after Akamaru did.

"Where's Kiba-kun?" Hinata asked Shino.

"He went away." Shino told her, in the same voice your mother uses when she explains where your pet goldfish bunny went.

"Went away?" Hinata questioned. Shino nodded.

"He's in a better place now." He told her. "Let me get you something to drink, tea?" he asked her.

She only nodded, wondering what had happened to Kiba.

Sasuke put the last dish away when the phone rang he stared at the phone hesitating to pick it up. It might be Naruto, which would be to perfect for the hellish day he was having. Finally when he couldn't stand the ringing anymore he answered the phone.

Sasuke: hello?

Sakura: hey it's me Sakura.

Sasuke: what do you want?

Sakura: I thought you might like to visit me. I'm in the hospital.

Sasuke: Does Naruto know?

Sakura: no, I wanted you to be the first person I called.

Sasuke: oh.

Sakura: Sasuke-kun, please come see me.

Sasuke merely hung up the phone. He was about to walk away when he remembered. Hinata liked Naruto, and Naruto was dating Sakura who hated Hinata. Sasuke stood there and thought really hard, he even crossed his arms for extra thinking power. This seemed to be of help as Sasuke stood there in deep thought.

Naruto wasn't going to like this, he wasn't going to like this at all, and Hinata would like Naruto's reaction even less. He wondered if this would be worthwhile to watch, with that Sasuke decided on going to the hospital to see Naruto's reaction. Sasuke wished he owned a camera.

It was going to be a memorial sight.
