Chapter 14

The days flew by one after another… Kakashi was released from the hospital the Wednesday after the incident at the Gymnastics hall… Friday came once more and Kakashi continued on with his daily teaching, but he never could stop thinking about a certain indigo-haired girl in the hospital… "Kakashi-sensei??" Ino saw him standing, just staring out into the nothingness… "Kakashi-sensei??" She still got no response… 'He must be really worried…' She grabbed his arm gently making him jump back to reality…
"Huh?? Nani??" He looked around startled and saw Ino concerned look… "How are you really Kakashi-sensei?" He didn't know how to react on the question…
"Well I'm fine…. But…"
he paused slightly…"You're worried about her, aren't you?" Ino could see right away that she hit the right spot…
"Yeah… I'm really worried… And… I miss her… Everything seems so down without her…"
Ino knew what he meant and nodded…
"Don't worry… she'll be alright… She has people that care about her…"
With that Ino turned and walked away leaving Kakashi to his thoughts…
'She's right… she does have people who care for her…'
he thought and glanced towards the group of people leaving to their last classes, consisting of Ino, Shikamaru, Lee and Tenten…

"How are you doing Hinata-chan??" Hinata was sitting in her wheelchair driving out in the hallway… She glanced up to her math and physics teacher Asuma…
"I'm fine… Still a little sore here and there…"
She smiled and stopped just in front of a window, while viewing the outside perimeters she got a sad look on her face...
"How are you really Hinata-chan? I can see something is paining you…"
She sighed and hung her head slightly… "I don't… know Asuma-san… I'm… worried… I can't stop thinking of what could have happened…" Asuma smiled mildly… "Don't worry… You stopped Kabuto and lived… that's all that matters…" Asuma said reassuring squeezing her shoulder slightly… "It wasn't me I was worried about… I was worried about Shikamaru-kun and Ino-chan and Lee-san… And Kakashi-kun…" Asuma noticed her extra soft and caring tone in the last name, glancing to her face he saw her eyes glistening… 'I knew there was something more than just the ordinary feeling to it…'"Well I'll leave you to your thoughts… got some things to take care of… Take care Hinata-chan…" Asuma said and turned away walking towards the exit… "Thank you Asuma-san…" Hinata turned around and drove into the dining hall…

The weekend flew by without any further complications and it was Monday once more and some guys where outside playing basket on one of their break…
"Hoooi!! Minna!!!"
Gaara came running in high speed… Ino, Shikamaru and Lee stopped playing and looked over to Gaara.. "Neee.. what up?" Shikamaru asked casually…
Gaara bowed down to breathe… "Well you know Hinata-chan's in the hospital…"Just mentioning it made everyone look sad… "Well I thought 'heck it gotta be rather tiresome to just being there, not be able to go out… so why not bring her some stuff…' you know?? As an encouragement… To make her happy… Like she's done for many of us…"
Everyone agreed and where thrilled about the idea… "Hey look over there… isn't that Kakashi??" Ino asked pointing at a teacher sitting slumped in the grass… "Yeah.. It is… Let's go and say hi…" Lee said and the four of them walked over to him and they all crashed down on the grass next to him.. "Hi Kakashi-sensei… whatcha doin'??" Shikamaru asked him smiling… Kakashi returned the smile… "Not much… I was thinking of bringing a get-well present for Hinata-chan… But I don't know what…" Ino face smile widened…
"We were also thinking of getting her present...like an encouragement…"
Everyone smiled and nodded… Kakashi agreed on joining in on their little encouragement idea…
So everyone scattered and went to get their presents… But Kakashi were having some problems on what to get her… "What does she like??" he walked through a park and sat down on a bench staring at a tree with pink beautiful flowers… "Wooow.." was all he said when he saw the whole park… The park was filled with trees with beautiful pink flowers…
"They are Sakura trees, Japanese cherry trees… They are a very beautiful tree…"
An old woman sat down beside him and gazing the amazing view…
"Ohh.. Sakura… They are really beautiful…"
The woman smiled… "Sakura blossom are often something to give to those you hold dear to show appreciation, compassion and love… A very significant gift…" Kakashi smiled and then he knew he had found his gift to Hinata… Kakashi stood up and thanked the lady, walked over to a tree and grabbed a branch, full with sakura flowers, and left to the hospital to meet up with the others…

"Great you're all here… let's go in and say hello…" Gaara opened the door and they all walked in… "Ohh… I guess we came at the wrong time…" Lee whispered as they all saw that Hinata was in fact asleep… "We'll leave our gifts here and a note with a greeting from us all.." Ino said and picked out a piece of paper…
Gaara did the drawing on the front page, which turned out marvelous… He had painted a beautiful picture of a mountain, some sakura trees, a lake with a wooden canoe and a small Japanese house… They all scribbled their greetings and left… Hinata awoke abruptly short after when she almost turned on to her hand…
"IIIITTAAAAAAIIIII!!!!!!"
she screamed tears brimming in her eyes, threatening to fall at any second… She calmed down quickly when she saw all the things on her table…
"What the…" she dragged the table closer and couldn't help but smile… "You guys…." She said to no one in particularly… 'This pendant… oh my god… This is Gaaras'… he gave this to me??" Hinata felt her eyes tear anew when she saw the silver pendant in her hand, the Japanese ideogram for Love… "The Love pendant… Thank you Gaara…"
She remembered that she had been really jealous when he told her he had bought the last pendant… She'd always wanted it and he knew that… She had gotten a karate dolphin from she assumed Lee and a Manga drawing kit from Shikamaru… "What's this??" she picked up a piece of cloth… she grabbed one corner and shook little making something fall out…
"Don't tell me…"
she picked up the silver bracelet and read the narrow silver plate… 'Don't forget, you're never alone'"Ino…" Hinata felt a tear fall down her cheek…
She glance on to the table and was amazed by the sight… "Who…??" She said and picked up the beautiful Sakura branch and the card… 'Get Well Hinata!! // Lee' She smiled at the scribbling which belonged to Lee… 'We're all waiting for you!! // Ino', 'You're never alone… we're always here for you… // Shikamaru' She smiled chuckled and read on… 'Hayaku ne Hinata-Baka … Mina Matekure yo… // Gaara ^_^' Hinata laughed slightly at the note… "You'll get for that one later Gaara…" She said and read on to the last… 'Hurry and get well…. Everyone's waiting for you… // Kakashi' Hinata couldn't help but smile at the note… She was just about to push away the table when she noticed something very peculiar…
"Isn't this Kakashis keys??"
she grabbed the keys lying on the table and checked them out… "Yeah.. they're Kakashis'…" she said while laughing…
And as if on cue the door opened and one very confused looking Kakashi stood in the door hole… "Ohh… you're awake… and you found the gifts…" He stepped over to her bed…
Hinata blushed a little while still holding his keys in her unharmed hand… "Yeah.. Thank you very much for the sakura flowers… they are really beautiful…" Kakashi smiled heartily and caressed her cheek… "I found these too…" Hinata showed the keys and Kakashi couldn't help but laugh… "Well well, soo I did forget them here after all… I was a little confused, 'cause I didn't remember that I left them here…"Kakashi gently grabbed the keys and smiled… "Well at least I got to see and thank you for the gift…"
She tried sitting up a little but was a bit out of strength making her fall back again, Kakashi saw what she tried to do and bowed down and hugged her…
Hinata pulled back her head slightly and gazed into his beautiful mismatched eyes… he slowly closed the gap between them in a sweet and tender kiss…
Both Hinata and Kakashi felt as if they were in heaven, Kakashi grabbed her unharmed hand and caressed it while kissing… both totally unaware of the two pairs of eyes watching them amusingly… "Hrmm hrmm… Excuse us for disturbing…" Both Hinata and Kakashi jumped and separated quickly looking over at the door…
Kakashi felt his heart fall deep into his stomach when he saw Kurenai and Asuma standing by the door looking stern and serious… Hinata just wanted to hide in the nearest hole…
"Uhh… Hello… Asuma-san, Kurenai-san…" Kakashi nodded and smiled nervously… Asuma nodded and relaxed, his face getting a more amused by the scene they just witnessed…
Kurenai nodded curtly and smiled lightly… Both teachers approached the bed… "How long has this been going on??" Kakashi and Hinata looked each other in the eyes and blushed…
"Well, kinda not very longish…"
Hinata couldn't help but blush a bright red… "Don't worry… We won't tell anyone until you've told them yourself…" Asuma hugged Hinata carefully so not too hurt her while Kurenai shook Kakashi's hand… The four of them sat and talked about all kinds of things until the nurse came and asked everyone to leave…
"I'm sorry, but visiting hours are over…"
Hinata's face saddened which everyone noticed… "Shimpai yo.. You'll be out of here in no time…" Kakashi said comforting squeezing her shoulder lightly… Hinata smiled and nodded… The three teachers went to the door and said bye and then went outside… When the three of them came to the exit, Asuma and Kurenai grabbed Kakashi and stopped… "You do know…?" Kurenai started but Kakashi stopped her before she could finish the sentence… "Yeah I know of the possible consequences… But I love her… and she loves me… I will not let this chance go too waste…" Asuma smiled warmly and Kurenai couldn't help but let a tear fall…
"You really do love her… don't you??"
Kakashi didn't need to answer it, it was enough that he met Kurenai's eyes… She smiled and nodded… at that all three left the hospital…
